Chapter 133 Fantasy
When the bell rang, the classroom immediately became a mess and the students began to pack their bags.

Zhou Yuan stood there blankly, his expression dazed, and then he subconsciously scanned the entire classroom vigilantly. But then a doubtful thought arose in his mind - why should I be vigilant?

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" The girl at the same table noticed that he was not in a good state and waved her hand in front of him, "Are you having a nightmare?"

“No…” Zhou Yuan rubbed his face, “I just seem to have forgotten something very important, and I can’t remember it no matter how hard I try.”

"You must be sleepy. You slept through three classes in a row and even until school was over. Didn't you sleep at night?" the girl said as she packed her schoolbag.

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but recall the scene of last night - a drunk man was acting crazy at home, howling until three in the morning, making it impossible for him to sleep.

"I can't sleep." He said helplessly.

"No wonder." The girl handed over a sticky note with today's homework written on it in beautiful handwriting. "I'll remember your homework for you."

"Oh, thank you."

Soon, Zhou Yuan walked out of the classroom with his schoolbag, came to the parking area, and pushed his bicycle slowly towards the school gate.

But not long after he walked out of the door, he suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and saw an unbelievable scene.

There were two strange inhuman figures standing on the side of the road. One was burly with flames burning all over his body. The temperature was so high that even the air was distorted. The other was tall and thin with sharp needles all over his body, flashing a chilling light.

What’s even more terrifying is that these two monsters have the faces of his parents!

Zhou Yuan was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. What the hell was this? Why did the people around him act as if they didn't see it?

"Why do you look like you've seen a ghost? Are you not happy about me coming to pick you up?" The female monster rolled her eyes and said, "Park the car in front of the school and take you to eat."

Zhou Yuan was extremely frightened and stammered, "I... I have a stomachache, so I won't go. You guys go eat, I'm going to the toilet!"

After saying that, he pushed the cart and hurried back to school.

"Hey..." The female monster wanted to call him, but Zhou Yuan ignored her.

And so I stayed in the toilet in the school playground until dark.

When most of the teachers were almost gone, he pushed the cart carefully to the gate and looked around.

Both monsters are gone.

Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but the fear in his heart still remained - what on earth was that thing?
The monster's body, with the faces of his parents, had a protruding anthropomorphic figure, but the people around him couldn't even notice it...

Could it be that I am mentally ill?
But I feel that I am in good mental condition and it is impossible for me to have any hallucinations... Zhou Yuan shook his head and decided to go home first.

·
Half an hour later, Zhou Yuan opened the door.

The lights were on at home, and two twisted and weird figures were sitting in the restaurant, eating the food they had packed from the restaurant.

Hearing the noise, the two monsters looked over at the same time.

Zhou Yuan’s breathing stagnated.

"Come and eat, I packed it especially for you." The female monster suddenly said.

There was a sumptuous meal on the table, but Zhou Yuan looked troubled: "I seem to have gastroenteritis, vomiting and diarrhea, very nauseous, can't eat."

"Damn it, there are so many things to do." The male monster cursed, "Come and eat quickly, otherwise you won't have dinner tonight."

Zhou Yuan said weakly: "I feel nauseous and can't eat."

As he said this, he pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a painful expression, threw down his schoolbag and hurried into the bathroom.

Are you kidding? Even if nothing happened, who can eat with two monsters watching them?
Zhou Yuan squatted in the toilet for half an hour, thinking about life for half an hour, and finally walked out limping.

When he walked out of the bathroom, he found the male monster sitting on the sofa watching TV, and the dining table was clean.

"It's already been thrown away. You'll just have to starve tonight. Try eating now if you dare." The male monster glared at him with a ferocious tone.

Zhou Yuan shivered, quickly picked up his schoolbag, and fled back into the house.

The female monster was not seen in the living room. If these two monsters were really his parents, then she must have gone out to play cards.

In the bedroom, Zhou Yuan opened Baidu on his phone to see if he was really suffering from a mental illness.

"Schizophrenia? No way..."

"Why do you say he has cancer? And it's in the late stage? Is this consultation reliable?"

"Forget it."

Zhou Yuan threw away his phone, looked at the time and saw that it was nine o'clock, and quickly started doing his homework.

After finishing his homework at around ten o'clock, he simply washed up and went to bed with full of doubts, but he did not sleep all night because he was afraid that two monsters would suddenly rush in and kill him.

When I got home from school the next day, my parents still looked like monsters, but other than that there was no other change.

Zhou Yuan could only force himself to remain calm and tell himself that he had to adapt.

After all, if he said that he was mentally ill, these two monsters would definitely scold him harshly. Instead of making himself miserable, it was better to say nothing.

Just like that, time flew by, and before long it was time for the high school entrance exam, and Zhou Yuan gradually got used to his parents' monster skins.

Zhou Yuan performed well in the high school entrance examination and was able to get into a decent high school, but his parents did not agree to let him continue his studies.

"You are an average student, so why bother going to school? Just go and work to earn money to pay off your loan." The male monster said bluntly.

"It's useless to object. We won't pay for your tuition. Look at what kind of crappy high school you got into. Why are you still going to that? Why did I give birth to a fool like you?" The female monster said sarcastically and disdainfully.

"Okay." Zhou Yuan actually had no plan to continue going to school. He wanted to get away from this family. It would be nice to go out and work. He could run far away, out of sight and out of mind.

"I used my connections to find you a job as an apprentice to a chef. You must study hard and after three to five years, you can become a chef yourself." The male monster said as he took a sip of beer.

Zhou Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to find a job myself."

"This is not a notice, this is an order. You have no right to refute." The male monster shouted harshly.

"Why?"

Zhou Yuan frowned. The anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was finally ignited. Doesn’t he even have this little freedom?
I have endured for so many years just to be able to escape from home one day, but now all my hopes have been dashed like a bucket of cold water.

He still underestimated his parents' desire for control.

"Just because I am your father, I gave birth to you and raised you, you have to listen to me." The male monster's attitude was irresistible.

"You didn't discuss it with me when you gave birth to me. You talk as if I really want to recognize you as my parents." Zhou Yuan retorted.

"How dare you talk back?"

The male monster suddenly became furious and threw the beer can in his hand towards Zhou Yuan, spilling beer all over him. "Try to talk back to me again!"

The female monster stood up and went to get a broom: "I think you are really rebellious!"

Zhou Yuan's blood boiled instantly and he fought with them with red eyes, but these two monsters were incredibly strong and he was soon beaten all over.

With a bang, Zhou Yuan was pressed against the wall. The male monster pinched his neck with both hands, his eyes wide open, as if he wanted to strangle him to death.

The flames burned, bringing burning pain.

You want to kill me? I'll eat two pieces of your flesh even if I die!
Zhou Yuan became furious and punched the male monster on the chin, forcing it to let go, then followed up with a knee strike, hitting the male monster hard in the stomach.

At this moment he suddenly discovered that when he toughened up, the two monsters didn't seem as scary as before.

The flames burning on the male monster gradually went out, and the sharp needles on the female monster softened, and its strength gradually became weaker.

boom!
Zhou Yuan kicked the male monster hard in the face, knocking him to the ground. Then he picked up the thermos cup on the table and smashed it on the female monster's head, causing her head to bleed.
He didn't stop and kept hitting the female monster again and again until she was completely motionless.

"Little bunny!"

The male monster suddenly strangled Zhou Yuan's neck from behind.

Zhou Yuan used the thermos cup to hit the other person's head, and it seemed that he accidentally hit the temple. The male monster suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

Bang bang bang!
Zhou Yuan seized the opportunity and smashed his head hard.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

After a long time, Zhou Yuan stopped, looked at the two bloody corpses on the ground, and gasped.

Then, he couldn't help laughing.

Even though it was an extreme move, he finally got rid of them! Just when Zhou Yuan was about to call the police and surrender himself in order to save a few years in prison, the bodies on the ground suddenly disappeared, and even the traces of the fight were restored to their original state.

Zhou Yuan was confused.

·
Zhou Yuan called the police to report his parents missing, but the police did not find any useful clues and the matter was soon dropped.

Apart from the constant bad luck in life, everything seems to be going in the right direction.

Zhou Yuan found a job as a waiter, serving tea and water every day. From time to time, he would meet difficult customers, and many people would deliberately make things difficult for him because of his young age. But these were no problem for him. He always greeted them with a smile, as if he would never get angry.

Unfortunately, the restaurant closed down two months later and Zhou Yuan had to find another way out.

Soon, he found a job in customer service. His daily job was to answer the phone and get scolded. He was not allowed to show any temper, otherwise his salary would be deducted.

This was a huge test for the employees' psychological endurance. Most people would quit after working for two months, but Zhou Yuan worked for nearly half a year and only left when the company went bankrupt.

Later he joined the factory, working ten hours a day on the death-chasing assembly line. He felt numb as a machine, but he still felt happy after get off work because he finally had the freedom he wanted.

After turning eighteen, Zhou Yuan went into sales. With his outstanding appearance and interpersonal experience, he soon became an excellent employee.

But not long after, he was secretly tripped by his colleagues and was fired.

Apart from lamenting that people’s hearts have changed, Zhou Yuan did nothing else. He continued to send out resumes everywhere, looking for his next job.

A few days later, he became a salesperson again, and spent the next six months running around to achieve sales, and was doing very well.

I have a girlfriend.

We also received several large orders.

With good news happening one after another, Zhou Yuan was in high spirits.

Life, it's finally getting better!

·
"You secretly filmed me!"

On the subway, a woman raised her phone and shouted at Zhou Yuan, "Were you secretly filming me just now?"

Zhou Yuan was at a loss: "I didn't...why would I take a picture of you?"

"I clearly saw your phone pointed at me." The girl said loudly, "Open the album and let me see it!"

"You are crazy." Zhou Yuan was angry. "I called the police and let them handle it."

After half an hour.

The police officer said to the girl seriously: "Hurry up and apologize to him."

The girl said sorry to Zhou Yuan very reluctantly.

That's the end of the matter.

——Zhou Yuan thought.

Two days later, a video was circulated online. It was shot by the girl, with the caption: "I was secretly photographed while riding the subway. It's disgusting. The way she deleted the photos was so skillful. It's obvious that this is not her first time committing the crime."

Zhou Yuan’s eyes went dark.

The video spread very quickly, and his girlfriend, colleagues, and business clients all saw it on the news.

Netizens who did not know the truth started cursing in the comment section, and the company directly fired him for the sake of the overall situation.

His girlfriend doubted his character and they broke up after several quarrels.

Overnight, Zhou Yuan lost everything. It was the first time in years that he felt anxious, painful, confused and angry.

He approached the media and the police and spoke out on the Internet, proving his innocence and saying he would sue the other party to protect his rights.

As a result, the lawsuit has been going on for more than a year without any result.

Zhou Yuan's life was completely disrupted and dragged into darkness.

That afternoon, Zhou Yuan took the subway and met the girl again. Their eyes met, and the girl sneered and turned away.

Zhou Yuan clenched his fists, the anger in his heart continued to rise, and in a trance he heard an evil voice ringing in his ears.

"Kill her, kill her, kill her..."

"Kill her and all the troubles will be gone..."

Zhou Yuan shook his head to get the evil voice out of his mind.

There is a price to pay for killing.

He had finally gained his precious freedom, how could he go to jail because of this woman?

Half a year later, he finally won the case, and the other party released a video to apologize on the entire Internet.

Finally walked out of the darkness, as if welcoming a new life.

A month later, Zhou Yuan found a new girlfriend and returned to his old sales job.

It wasn’t until I was 26 that the era of great involution came.

Spark Technology has launched a brain-enhancing chip that allows people to think faster and be energetic with only a small amount of sleep per day.

Strengthening workers is simply a dimensionality reduction attack on ordinary workers.

Zhou Yuan worked hard to achieve sales targets, but he could only barely meet the targets every month. He was often called in for lectures by his supervisor, who repeatedly reminded him that he could buy a brain-enhancing chip, but...

Zhou Yuan has no money.

My girlfriend's parents also started urging us to get married, saying that we are not young anymore and it would be best to get married and have a baby within a year. They also don't want a lot of betrothal gifts, 188,000 yuan would be enough, and they would also want to put the girl's name on the house owned by Zhou Yuan.

"Yuan, I like a necklace."

On the other end of the video call, my girlfriend said while applying lipstick, "520 is coming soon, can you send me off?"

Zhou Yuan was driving, and after taking a glance, he asked, "How much?"

"2."

Zhou Yuan suddenly became annoyed: "2? I work so hard every day to run sales. Is it easy to save some money? Can't you understand me?"

"Other boyfriends give Maseratis to their boyfriends for the holidays, what about you?" the girlfriend said angrily, "If you have the ability, I will definitely serve you every day!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Damn, I gave you face, but you really think I have a good temper, right?

Zhou Yuan was so annoyed by all the troubles that he felt like he was going to explode. He stopped the car on the side of the road, sent a breakup message, and then immediately blocked the person.

Just treat three years of relationship as if it were thrown away.

This damn life.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang. It was a colleague with whom I had a good relationship.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and answered the phone.

"Old Zhou, how are you doing lately?"

"Okay."

"I have a job here. I wonder if you are interested. You can make a lot of money." The sound of mahjong tiles colliding could be heard from the other end of the phone.

"What kind of work?"

"The World Cup is coming soon. A buddy of mine is doing online sports lottery. You don't need to do anything else, just help recruit people."

"Forget it." Zhou Yuan didn't want to touch these deceptive things.

"Hey, don't worry, this job is very profitable."

The man's words were like the devil's whisper, "I'll give you 500 yuan per head, and if you work for a full month, I'll give you 60,000 yuan!
What do you say? Is this treatment good enough? "

Zhou Yuan bit his lip and hesitated.
