Huo Longlong's mother is a strong woman.

At work, as the head of the department, she speaks one word and is almost unreasonable, so she is not well received by the people around her, but she doesn't care.

Because she has raised a child with excellent academic performance, which makes her face bright, as if she has sustenance for the rest of her life.

"Good teaching, Mother Huo, if my child is so good, I'd like to eat fast for ten years."

"Where is it, our family Longlong still needs to work harder, and we can't let him be too drifting."

The children of Huo Longlong's generation are generally very precocious. While they realize that their basic necessities are paid for by their parents' hard work, they also discover their incompetence too early.

When he realized that in this society, if he does not produce resources, he is incompetent. Even in the face of parents' unreasonable demands, they can only shut up and build a heart wall.

Perhaps some willful children take this for granted, because they are still very young, and they keep giving themselves such excuses... Some will become sensible when they grow up, and some will continue to use such excuses even after they grow up.

But Huo Longlong couldn't do it.

"Mom, what will you do when I grow up? Will I start a new life?"

"Children don't care about adults' affairs, just learn from yours."

"I mean, think about remarrying, or doing something you want to do, fulfilling some of the dreams you had when you were young."

"What are you talking about? Mom's everything is for you. When you grow up, go to a good university, find a good job, and then choose a good wife for you, she must serve you. The kind that should be taken care of properly, when you have a child, your mother will take care of the child for you."

Just thinking about it, Huo Longlong felt a hand pinch his neck.

Mom didn't see him as a human being, nor did he see his possible future wife as a human being, or even his ethereal grandson.

He, they, are all just props to satisfy her self-directed and self-acted life movie.

"...I must tell you cruelly that you were killed by your mother."

"Even if you don't kill yourself and live, your mother will continue to control your life when you are an adult... You will rush to death at every stage of your life, and this is your end."

"The game never invites a real child unless he is part of the game."

"Now, the problem is with you."

Huo Longlong opened his eyes blankly.

They came to a classroom, and the mother with ten eyes stood on the podium, as if what happened just now had never happened, she said with a smile: "Superior memory is the foundation of a perfect child, and there is a 500-person card in front of you." I will give you 6 minutes to recite the short text of the words, and I believe that you who perform well can complete it word for word."

It’s over.

Although the content of the [-]-word English essay is very simple, it still completely ignores the level of education of each person.

Others were ashen-faced, and some simply gave up reciting.

Huo Longlong looked around for Yan Ge who had just boldly come out to prevent "mother" from killing him, and soon found that he was safe and sound on the seat behind him on the left.

"you……"

Huo Longlong hesitated for a moment, then said: "Big Brother, just now...are you alright?"

"It's okay, I saved you, now is the next part of the hunting ground." Yan Ge didn't try to persuade him to give up the idea of ​​suicide, but said, "You shouldn't be in a hurry at this moment, just be a helper before you die. How about helping us?"

Yan Ge was sure that Huo Longlong would not refuse, judging from his actions just now, he was a very kind child.

"I'm sorry." Huo Longlong lowered his head, "I've caused you trouble."

"You should have caused me trouble..." Yi Ziang laid his head on the table, making a weak voice.

"I didn't really want to use the 'game pause' trick. Although it can pause the mechanism of the hunting ground and the main puppet, my age will be accelerated every minute and every second. Just now, my height has dropped by 2 centimeters..."

Yi Ziang's ability is related to the concept of "player". It is not only the ability to stand alone and start again, but also the ability to suspend the hunting mechanism. This ability is not a time suspension. After Zi Ang activates "Game Pause", it can be delayed for at least 6 minutes.

Just now, he activated this ability, suspended the execution of "mother", and asked Yan Ge to save Huo Longlong.

Relatively speaking, during the pause of the game, his own body is also suspended, and the age of the body decreases with the length of the pause, and the teammate can touch him to release it.

Even so, this is a very terrifying ability. If it is used properly, it can turn the situation around even in the face of the Red Death King.

Yan Ge said ruthlessly: "After you scrap it this time, you can ask Xiao Yi to draw it up to two meters high next time."

"Please don't use the word 'scrap' to describe a human being. Besides, I am shrinking in age in all aspects, and I have forgotten how to do conic section math problems." Yi Ziang looked up at his watch, "There are still 5 left. Minutes, don't you want to recite it?"

Yan Ge: "It's impossible for them to memorize it in 5 minutes. I can't hijack their vocal cords."

"As long as Li Ya is here..." Yi Ziang beeped in a low voice, and seeing Yan Ge's calm look, said, "Did you find anything?"

"I've been wondering why this hunting ground is expressed in the form of film art." Yan Ge grouped the short English essays on his desk and said, "If mother's purpose is to keep weeding us out, then they limit the hunting ground to reality That’s fine, there’s no need to catch us in the movie.”

"It gave us a clue from the very beginning-this film is called "Mother". Generally speaking, a complete film must have a turning point, and the characters in it need to go through some kind of transformation to make the plot go to an ending."

Yi Ziang glanced at Huo Longlong who was still dazed, and said, "You mean, these harsh tests are not the point at all?"

"Yes, the test is not the point, but to gradually let all of us realize its irrationality." Yan Ge directly threw the piece of paper to be recited into the trash can, "It takes five minutes to memorize a five A short essay of 5 words, and then? Next, she asks you to translate the teacher list in 4 minutes, and let you complete 3 push-ups in [-] minutes... Is this reasonable?"

This is unreasonable. If you think about it, you will know that it is not something that humans can do. Moreover, judging from the tests of overcoming picky eaters just now, these tests are comprehensive, and it does not seem to be selecting a person with superintelligent thinking.

"Mother is constantly demanding us to be a perfect child." Yan Ge looked at Huo Longlong and said meaningfully, "Don't fall into her rhythm, stop and think carefully, it is not us who need to be corrected, but mother."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and sat opposite Huo Longlong, arranged the few fragmented photos on his desk, and pointed to the middle-aged woman with half of her face exposed in the photo.

"do you know her?"

After Huo Longlong glanced at it, he was stunned, and hesitantly said: "This is..."

"Your mother may be your mother in ten years' time."

"It's her, she's old..." Huo Longlong is sure that every wrinkle of his mother has signs in his recent memory.

Then he looked at the half swollen corpse by the pier, hesitantly said: "This is... me?"

"To be precise, it should be you when you grow up." Yan Ge looked into his eyes and said, "If I'm right, are you trying to commit suicide tonight?"

Huo Longlong was silent, then nodded, as if he quickly accepted the ending of this future.

"Thank you for letting me see that I will become like this in the future, which proves that the decision I made today is not wrong."

"Is that true?" Yi Ziang is only three years older than him, and besides having a severe Internet addiction, he is still a positive young man, and immediately retorted, "Or do you mean that you don't want to solve the problem, but just escape by dying?" question?"

"No." Yan Ge leaned forward slightly, looked at Huo Longlong, and said, "This puppet, its prototype is your real mother, right?"

Huo Longlong's lips moved, and he nodded his head: "Every indicator must be the best, picky eaters are not allowed, and if you don't get full marks, you will be eliminated by society... This is my mother's standard."

"Even if she can't do it herself?"

"My mother will say that it is because she can't do it that she will do her best to let my son make up for her regrets. This is all for my consideration."

Yan Ge could almost hear from his instinctive fear that when his mother said this, he took it for granted.

Yi Ziang was a little anxious: "Don't think so—"

"I'll just say it straight." Yan Ge glanced at the time, did not refute Huo Longlong's point of view, but said directly to his psychological defense, "Actually, you want to take revenge on her, right?"

"what?"

"You want to commit suicide to get a consequence that your mother will regret for the rest of her life. You want to see her suffer so that you can get revenge for her oppression of you for so many years."

Huo Longlong's face immediately turned red: "I didn't, that's my mother—"

"Stop." Yan Ge interrupted him, "I don't mean to criticize you, if there is injustice, it's justified, passive resistance is also resistance, you just chose the most inefficient way."

When Yan Ge said these words, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he had changed himself, which made Huo Longlong involuntarily annoyed.

"I don't want to hurt anyone, I just... I just die quietly alone, isn't that all right?"

Yan Ge said: "Okay, of course, ending one's life is the last dignity of a person. However, you don't catch the last train of reincarnation anyway, do you want to experience the feeling of rebelling against your parents before you die?"

"Resist... her?"

Yan Ge continued: "Yes, this doll is based on your mother. Its thoughts, behavior patterns, and strength basically reproduce your mother's authority in the family in the real world. I will next Resist her, do you want to take a look?"

The prudent and reliable temperament that Yan Ge had in Huo Longlong's heart before was gone, he even felt that this person was a little crazy, he struggled for a moment, and said: "You, are you bad?"

"good suggestion."

Yan Ge turned around, kicked the table away, put his legs directly on the table, looked like he was seriously ill in the rebellious period, squinted at his mother's face stuck outside the classroom window.

"What are you doing……"

Six minutes later, the mother's huge figure squeezed in, and her ten eyes stared ferociously at Yan Ge.

"Is this your attitude of learning?! When you enter a complex society with this attitude, you can only be the bottom scum, scum!"

The sharp screams echoed throughout the classroom, and the other people sitting behind covered their ears and lay down under the table, only Yan Ge remained in that state, and calmly replied——

"No, most of the time, life is very simple. It's not grades or society that give life the heavy meaning, it's you, mom."
