I am practicing in a weird world

　Xiao Yi sneered. He was not in a hurry to chase after him. Instead, he squatted down, took a bunch of keys from the evil ghost's waist, and began to try them on his handcuffs one by one.

　After a while, with a "click", the handcuffs on his feet were opened.

　He then unlocked the handcuffs and gained complete freedom.

　Throwing away the handcuffs and shackles, Xiao Yi began to search for the evil ghost's body again.

　After a while, he found a booklet in the evil ghost's trouser pocket.

　It was a thin, yellowed booklet with no text on the cover.

　Xiao Yi opened the booklet and the contents inside were revealed.

　The Devil's Survival Manual.

　Welcome to the Big Mouth Security Department.

　The security department is a violent department that exists to protect the company. You need to protect the company and maintain its public security.

　In order to better maintain the company's security, you need to abide by the following rules.

　Rule 1: You are a ghost, not a human. You are responsible for night patrols and vigilance. Your working hours are from 11pm to 6am. You need to patrol the cage once at midnight to ensure that the company's property has not escaped, there has been no killing between people, and no illegal theft. You need to maintain the posture of an evil ghost during the patrol.

　Rule 2: If humans don't break the rules, you can't hurt them. If humans break the rules, you need to hand the rule-breakers over to the chef, who knows what to do with them.

　Rule 3: You are not allowed to go near the second floor of the restaurant. Violation will result in punishment.

　Can't get close to the restaurant

　Building, what's there?

　Xiao Yi closed the manual and put it away, then looked at the evil ghost's body again. He took the evil ghost's security baton from the body.

　This stick is a short stick in the evil ghost's hand, but in Xiao Yi's hand it is a stick that is neither long nor short.

　The stick is cold to the touch and is an iron stick.

　This is a good weapon.

　Holding the stick in his hand, he looked at the remaining two people.

　"No, don't kill us, we won't say anything."

　"Yes, we won't tell."

　The remaining two people showed fear on their faces and kept begging for mercy.

　"Do you think I'm someone who would kill indiscriminately?" Xiao Yi said.

　Upon hearing this question, the two men paused for a second, as if they were thinking about how to answer.

　Xiao Yi was stunned when he saw their reaction. Without waiting for their reply, he said, "I don't want to kill you. I just want to ask you if you want to escape with me."

　"Please let me go. I don't want to escape."

　"I don't want to escape either. I feel like it's pretty good here."

　The two of them shook their heads quickly.

　One of them continued, "I've been here for a while now and have seen a lot. Every time someone new comes here, there's always someone trying to escape, but no one ever succeeds. They all turn into a pot of broth the next day, with only bits and pieces left in it, not even their bodies. It's incredibly miserable."

　Another person said, "There are strange rules out there. If you're not careful, you'll die instantly. I wasn't originally from here. I lived in an old apartment building. One day, bloody words suddenly appeared on the wall of my room. They were rules written in blood. If you violated them, you'd die instantly. It took me a lot of effort to escape.

　I don't want to deal with the rules anymore. I won't die immediately here, the food is good, and I feel pretty good."

　Speaking of food, the two men's throats couldn't help but move, and desire involuntarily emerged on their faces.

　Seeing the two men like this, Xiao Yi said nothing more. He turned around and strode away.

　He closed and locked the cell door again, cutting off the possibility of the two men running out to report him.

　Xiao Yi turned his head to look in one direction and then smiled.

　He saw Huang Lao.

　Huang Lao was trying his best to escape in the corridor, but his feet were shackled, and each step he took was too big, so he couldn't run fast at all.

　Xiao Yi took big steps forward, approaching Huang Lao. As he walked, he said, "In this world, some people make a living by their brains, and some make a living by their bodies. Although I'm not stupid, I should be the type of person who makes a living by my body.

　In the past, when I was with my friends, it was all about relationships and loyalty, a kind of "you help me, I help you" kind of thing, similar to the chivalry of the underworld. Your actions really shocked me."

　"Brother Xiao, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please let me go this time. I will be your slave from now on."

　Huang Lao's face was filled with fear. He cried and begged for mercy while backing away.

　"Injuries should be paid with injuries, money should be paid with money, and life should be paid with life. If apologies are effective in this world, then what is the point of using knives?"

　Xiao Yi put down the iron rod, stretched out his hand and pressed down Huang Lao's head. The next moment, he exerted force with both hands.

　"Kacha!"

　The sound of bones breaking was heard, and Huang Lao's head fell limply.

　Xiao Yi let go and Huang Lao fell to the ground.

　Continuing forward, soon a big door appeared in front of Xiao Yi.

　It was an iron door, locked with a big lock. Above the lock were things that looked like screws, with numbers on them, from one to nine.

　It seems that this is the combination lock that Er Gou mentioned.

　Xiao Yi turned the screws, and soon he formed a set of numbers, which were 2607.

　That was the number Ergou gave him.

　Just as the numbers turned, the lock opened with a "click".

　When the door was opened, the scenery outside came into view. All I could see was an iron cage. It was the playground during the day, an iron cage surrounded by barbed wire.

　Xiao Yi continued forward and soon arrived at the end of the playground, where there was also an iron gate, also locked with a padlock.

　It was a very simple iron door, made of barbed wire.

　He had observed this iron net during the day. It was just an ordinary iron net without any surveillance cameras installed on it.

　P.S. Want some tickets

　Volume 1: Chapter 49: Weird

　Xiao Yi raised his head and looked outside through the iron cage. Outside was the Big Mouth Fast Food Restaurant. He was inside the walls of the Big Mouth Fast Food Restaurant.

　As long as I walk out of this barbed wire and climb over the wall, I will be free.

　He turned his gaze back to the iron gate, which was installed on top of the wire mesh. There was a big lock on it, but it was not a combination lock, but a lock that could only be opened with a key.

　If it's not a combination lock, the combination of the hook will not work, but this doesn't bother me.

　A door made of iron mesh can be broken open with a stick.

　But things are abnormal

　There is a monster. This barbed wire and this wire door can't prevent people from escaping. There may be other mechanisms inside.

　Speaking of barbed wire, the most suitable thing to match it should be electricity. In some large farms, such barbed wire is also used to enclose cattle and sheep. In order to prevent the cattle and sheep from escaping, farmers usually connect electricity to the barbed wire.

　I don’t know if the evil spirits have electrified the wire fence, so I still have to be careful.

　He glanced at the security baton in his hand and began to inject strength into his arm. Suddenly, the muscles in his hand began to swell, veins began to emerge, and huge power began to gather on his arm.

　The next moment, he took a step forward and mobilized all his strength to swing the iron rod away.

　The whistling sound of breaking wind suddenly broke out, and the iron rod, carrying great power, rushed towards the lock of the iron gate.

　It broke the wire and hit the padlock outside the wire, instantly sending the padlock flying far away.

　A piece of the barbed wire was blown away by the short stick, and the wire and the padlock were blown away together.

　The iron gate shook a few times and opened.

　Xiao Yi took a step and walked out.

　……

　At this moment, inside a cell, Er Gou and the others were unaware of anything. They all had their eyes open, waiting for something.

　This is also a four-person cell, exactly the same style as the cell where Xiao Yi is located.

　But their hands and feet were not shackled. This treatment was different from the treatment Xiao Yi suffered. This was a treatment exclusive to E Gou and others.

　Suddenly, Er Gou said, "Let's go."

　After saying that, he got up from the bed and went straight to the gate. He stretched out his hand outside the iron gate and started turning the combination lock.

　After a while, he opened the combination lock.

　He took a step and walked out.

　Behind him, three inmates followed him out.

　A fellow inmate asked, "Boss, will our plan succeed? That Xiao Yi doesn't look like an ordinary person. What if Xiao Yi doesn't follow the plan and simply climbs over the wall after leaving the iron gate and runs away?"

　The inmate who was speaking was a man wearing a yellow and black shirt. The shirt was originally white, but it turned yellow and black after being worn for a long time.

　Uncertainty appeared on his face. He had met Xiao Yi and knew that Xiao Yi's willpower was different from that of ordinary people.

　After having those unknown liquids injected into their bodies, no ordinary person would be able to resist eating the bugs, but Xiao Yi was able to resist eating them. This willpower alone is unforgettable.

　"He can't do it. Not just him, but anyone who steps out of the barbed wire fence will definitely go to the second floor of that weird restaurant and die there. I've seen this happen many times, without exception."

　Er Gou's tone was certain.

　Er Gou has seen this kind of thing many times.

　Everyone yearns for freedom, and no one wants to be treated as an animal, so when newcomers arrive here, their first reaction is to run. Many capable newcomers actually escaped from the playground. They could have escaped from here by simply climbing over the wall, but they all failed and died on the second floor of the restaurant.

　Ergou didn't know why these people gave up climbing over the wall and went to the second floor of the restaurant.

　This prison has reinforced concrete at the back, and this is the only exit. However, there is a fast food restaurant here, and everyone who escaped from here died inexplicably on the second floor of the restaurant.

　He couldn't escape from here because he didn't know what killed the person, and he wanted to know the reason.

　At this time, another inmate said: "In my opinion, that kid named Xiao Yi might really be able to find out something."

　This inmate had a scar on his cheek. Although he was fat, he was strong and looked full of power.

　His name is Bu Jinyao and he is a thug.

　This is a job that involves helping others fight. Although there is no protection such as hardware insurance, the pay is good and the work is easy.

　"If Xiao Yi has a way to fight the thing on the second floor of the restaurant, that would be great. I've been looking forward to that kid for a long time. If they both lose, I can reap the benefits and take care of them all."

　E Gou thought of Xiao Yi's unruly eyes, grinned, and a fierce look appeared on his face.

　He hasn't been this unhappy in a long time since he became the boss here.

　The last inmate's eyes flashed with longing. He said, "Many people believe that what restricts their freedom is the shackles on their hands and feet and the cages everywhere. But if you live here long enough, you'll know that what truly binds them is the irresistible taste and the unknown horror on the second floor of the restaurant. If Xiao Yi can really make some waves, it would be worth it for giving him the password."

　……

　As for Xiao Yi, he opened the iron gate of the playground and walked out, but just as he walked towards the wall, a strange feeling quickly rose from the bottom of his heart.

　That is the feeling of hunger. Hunger is like an insatiable hungry ghost, roaring constantly inside the body.

　Xiao Yi began to sweat and he felt that he was being devoured.

　In his body, his blood sugar, fat, muscle, etc. are being consumed and broken down at a rate beyond that of ordinary people.

　What happens when people are hungry?

　First, the sugar in the body will be broken down, such as glucose, galactose, glycogen, etc. Next, muscles and fat will be broken down. Once these things are broken down excessively, people will become thin. When they become thin to a certain extent, they will become skin and bones, and then they will die.

　But Xiao Yi had only been here for one day, and he had breakfast at school, but he didn't eat lunch and dinner.

　Generally speaking, this level of hunger is nothing, and the body can handle skipping meals.

　But now, Xiao Yi felt that his metabolism was speeding up. Blood sugar, fat, and muscle were all broken down, but the energy released from these substances was not fed back to the body. Instead, it disappeared out of thin air.

　Something was affecting my body, it was eating me, but what was it?

　Xiao Yi looked around and saw no enemies.

　He mobilized the spiritual power in his body and looked in all directions, but still saw nothing. The roads, iron nets, buildings, etc. were all normal, and he did not see any other abnormal scenes.

　The feeling of hunger became stronger and stronger, as if every cell in the body was roaring with hunger. Just when this feeling became strong to a certain limit, a different feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.

　Volume 1: Chapter 50: A Heart with Teeth

　That's the feeling of 'smelling' food.
