Horror games? Whatever, I'll die.

He was met with a hard slap of his slipper. Liang Zaibing had already nimbly slipped back into his room and locked the door, refusing to open it no matter how much the outside banged on it.

"Damn it, this little brat's got some nerve, daring to talk to his father like that!"

Aunt Liang patted his back to calm him down, saying, "Calm down, calm down. Anyway, the people from the academy will be here to pick him up soon, so just let him make a fuss for a while."

Mr. Liang muttered a few more curses before giving up banging on the door and turning back into the living room.

Liang Zaibing lay casually on the bed, seizing the last bit of peace to rest.

Unable to fall asleep anytime soon, and annoyed by the barrage of comments, Liang Zaibing simply picked a few answers randomly.

"The streamer isn't a zero, stop asking."

"The streamer isn't a top either, I'm a 24K pure straight man, okay?"

"Hey, show some respect. I may not have parents, but that doesn't mean you're all vying to be my parents."

"Where did my sugar daddy/sugar daddy go? Maybe he went to seduce some other newbie. Don't try to guess what your sugar daddy is thinking."

"Perform a talent show? Don't even think about giving a tip."

[“Tender Butterfly” tipped 100 points]

"Alright, then I'll do you a favor and sing you a song."

Liang Zaibing rummaged through her meager repertoire and finally picked up a song, humming softly, "I congratulate you on your fortune, I congratulate you on your brilliance, the best please come over, the bad please go away..."

The voice gradually faded, and the anchor, while singing "Wishing you prosperity," unprofessionally leaned his head to the side and fell asleep on the pillow.

No matter how much barrage of comments it received, it remained unresponsive, as if it were dead.

"Don't fall asleep, son, at least finish singing this song."

"Singing off-key is one thing, but finishing the song shows your attitude!"

"I feel sorry for Nen Die, she was cheated out of 100 yuan by this unfilial son."

"+1"

As soon as the doorknob was turned, Liang Zaibing opened her eyes immediately.

The door lock was turned around and around by the key from the outside until it was finally completely unlocked.

Liang's father had a secret sense of satisfaction on his face, while behind him stood several burly men in uniforms.

"I'm entrusting my good-for-nothing son to your academy," Liang's father said with a forced smile to the man in the lead.

The man patted him on the shoulder, "You can rest assured about the capabilities of our academy. When you visited the academy a few days ago, you saw many successful cases. The children there are all very well-behaved."

Liang Zaibing read her lines expressionlessly, "Dad, where are you taking me?"

Liang's father gave him a cold glance, didn't answer, and turned to leave.

Liang's mother never appeared from beginning to end, playing the role of a loving mother who couldn't bear to see her child suffer.

Ha, I can't bear to watch, but I have the heart to send it in.

The burly men, holding hemp ropes, rolled up their sleeves and came in to grab him.

Liang Zaibing shouted loudly and made a fake struggle before they tied her up and took her away.

He was going to have to go in anyway, so he didn't bother to put in the effort.

Looking through the half-open door at her son being led away by the teachers from the academy, Liang Ma couldn't hide her worry. "Will my son be alright?"

Mr. Liang didn't care at all. "What could possibly happen? A doting mother spoils her son. Just relax and wait for the results in two months."

"This academy was recommended to me by my neighbor, Old Wang. Before, his son skipped school every day to go online, and his grades were terrible. After sending him there for a month and a half, he came back and studied incredibly hard. And now, he's in Z University."

"That's fine, that's fine."

-----

Liang Zaibing was gagged and forced into a van with windows covered in tinted film, making it impossible for pedestrians outside to see inside.

It's practically an essential tool for kidnapping.

Two rows of seats were removed to leave the middle space empty, and five or six burly men crowded around him in the carriage, making it impossible for him to escape.

The carriage was in a mess, with hemp rope, plastic stools, black cloth strips, and even an opened syringe with half a tube of unidentified liquid inside.

Liang Zaibing frowned as she watched. These criminals probably didn't even know what safe injection was. Not to mention cross-infection, there was the possibility of drug overdose or the introduction of air.

The leader saw him looking around and assumed he was trying to run away. He patted his face and said, "Behave yourself, or we'll have to resort to special methods."

Liang Zaibing immediately lowered her head obediently like a quail.

Just kidding, he wouldn't want to test their injection techniques on himself.

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you." The man looked somewhat smug.

“My name is Sun Zai, the Zai of slaughtering pigs. Of course, once you’re in the academy, you can only call me Teacher Sun or Mr. Sun, otherwise…” Sun Zai chuckled strangely twice.

Liang Zaibing nodded hurriedly.

Sun Zai pulled the rag out of his mouth, but his body was poised to strike, ready to muffle his cries for help at any moment.

Liang Zaibing simply replied obediently, "I will remember, Teacher Sun."

Sun Zai was inexplicably annoyed; this kid was too cowardly, and there was no reason to teach him a lesson.

Who cares? I'll beat him up if I want to.

The next second, Liang Zaibing felt a heavy blow to his abdomen, and the pain made him curl up into a ball.

Damn it, I've already acted like a grandson, what more do you want?

Sun Zai waved his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and said, "I'll teach you a lesson first. Think about this punch before you do anything in the future."

Liang Zaibing kept her head down, gritting her teeth to suppress the curse that was about to spill from her mouth.

Calm down, killing won't solve anything.

Although they still have body temperature and heartbeats and are no different from normal people, if they are killed, they might turn into evil spirits and kill him in the next second.

"……understood."

Upon hearing his frustrated response, the burly men beside him burst into laughter, mocking and disdainful.

They're like a bunch of naughty kids kicking a cat.

The teachers in the car opened beer and drank it down in big gulps. When they got drunk, they started chatting about the "interesting things" that happened at the academy without any restraint.

"That troublemaker who came into our class a few days ago, wasn't he all high and mighty? I threw him in solitary confinement for a few days, and hey, he behaved himself."

"Of course, I've never seen a student come out of solitary confinement without crying and begging for their parents."

"What's the point of talking about this coward? I think he's not as good as that girl who just came into Old Wang's class. She's really pretty and seems to be a dance student. I'll ask her for private tutoring sometime."

The other men simultaneously let out lewd chuckles.

Liang Zaibing appeared to be obediently huddled in the corner, but aside from listening to their conversation, her gaze remained fixed on the environment outside the car window.

The mission requires escaping Wude Academy. Is it enough to simply climb over the academy gate, or...?

The black van drove from the city center, lined with high-rise buildings, all the way to the desolate countryside. It circled halfway around a grove of mixed trees before finding a cleared road.

A guard post stands beside this narrow road, which is only wide enough for one vehicle to pass at a time, with a sign that reads "Wude Academy" prominently displayed above it.

It's a bit troublesome.

It seems that simply getting out of the school gate isn't enough; we also need to run out of this forest.

The van stopped in front of the checkpoint, the driver rolled down the window and chatted with the guard for a few words, and was quickly allowed to pass.

Clearly, they had no intention of getting out of the car and walking in, thus Liang Zaibing lost the opportunity to try to turn around and run away after entering the gate.

Sure enough it's not that simple.
