The door of the security room suddenly opened, and the flashlight interrupted their conversation.

Amid the approaching footsteps of the security guard, Cheng Xu remained silent, his fists clenched, and they kept shaking because of excessive force.

After the security guard on duty finished his rounds, Cheng Xu's breathing gradually stabilized.

"Can you really take me out..."

"I may not be able to take you out, but I will definitely take you out."

The voice on the other side of the wall was a little tired, but with a hint of persistence that refused to give up, it ignited a flame in Cheng Xu's already withered heart.

The scene in the memory began to change, the black light and shadow flipped and folded, and the confinement room with only pain and boredom turned into a wound, which gradually healed and became a hidden scar.

During the week in the confinement room, Cheng Xu would have a short chat with the guy in the middle of the night every day.

His name is Ma Wenbo, and he was deceived to come here to quit Internet addiction a year ago.

His parents even paid three more years of money to let the dean "cultivate" him well.

Upon learning of this, Ma Wenbo decided not to endure it anymore and started his own escape plan.

Before meeting Cheng Xu, he had tried to escape from the academy with three different partners, but none of them succeeded.

Although the students who partnered with him did not give him up, they had been specially cared for by the instructors. As long as there was a chance, he would be locked up in a small dark room for punishment.

Ma Wenbo, who was unwilling to admit defeat, finally brought a spoon in secretly when he was locked up, pried open a brick that was not very strong to begin with, and dug a hole.

And Cheng Xu was also the first newcomer he met after digging through.

The images in Cheng Xu's memory began to flow rapidly, and the surrounding environment was like a page of a book, repeating those meaningless "corrective education".

Every morning at five o'clock, they need to get up on time, take care of their personal hygiene within five minutes, and make their beds neatly.

Then it was a long circle run with slogans, a total of thirty circles.

Those slogans contained praises for the academy and the instructors, which were very explicit. When the dean came to inspect, the slogans even included the content of recognizing the dean as a godfather.

After running, these tired students need to run to the cafeteria within ten minutes and eat their daily breakfast standing up. No matter how bad it tastes, no breakfast can be left.

After eating, everyone will have the first class of the morning in the cafeteria, reciting words of gratitude to the dean aloud.

After returning to the classroom, those uneducated instructors will distribute a booklet to everyone, which contains the "Three Character Classic: Quitting Internet Addiction" written by the dean himself.

Everyone must memorize the long and boring text, and those who can't will be beaten.

The "dragon whips" in the hands of the instructors are all cut-off rebars, which are both heavy and slender.

Once hit by the "dragon whip", anyone's hand will become black and swollen.

Cheng Xu even saw a girl whose palm was already ulcerated, but she was still beaten hard by the instructor with the "dragon whip".

The afternoon time is just a repetition of these projects in the morning. The "course" born only for torture is no different from torture.

In the evening, everyone will gather in the playground, kneel on the broken concrete ground, and listen to the dean's lecture.

The content of the lecture is nothing more than the gratitude education that can be seen everywhere, without any novelty.

After the lecture, everyone must kneel and kowtow to the dean, crying his name, showing remorse after awakening.

All those who perform poorly will be pulled to the back by the instructors and wait for punishment.

Those who were "grateful to the dean" could get a bowl of rice porridge and pickles after the meeting, and occasionally half a steamed bun.

Those who stood at the back not only could not eat, but also had to raise their hands above their heads, holding a dictionary or shot put, and could not put them down for half an hour.

If they put them down early, the punishment time would be doubled, and the instructor's "dragon whip" would also hit them.

During the initial period, Cheng Xu was punished almost every day, and he was always looking forward to his mother taking him home.

After his hope was completely shattered, he also joined those who were grateful to the dean and praised the dean's name loudly.

He did not do anything else, just to hide the flame of desire for freedom in his heart, waiting for Ma Wenbo to take him out of this hell.

Before going to bed every day, those who performed better at night would be specially given the right to go out for fresh air and be able to go to the dormitory.

Free time in the dormitory for five minutes.

Cheng Xu and Ma Wenbo usually take this opportunity to meet in the toilet and use the short time to exchange information.

They are like two spies exchanging information, living an extremely cautious life every day, just to collect more information and prepare for escape.

After nearly two months, Cheng Xu and Ma Wenbo have drawn up more than a dozen plans, but they have all been completely rejected. Each plan has bloodstains left by predecessors.

"The main gate still doesn't work..."

"It doesn't work at all. The guy named Zhang Shuncheng tried it a year ago. Those barbed wires are no different from knives. Now he is still in there with scars all over his body..."

"The main gate doesn't work, then get into the truck..."

"It doesn't work either. The people who deliver goods to this ghost place are all relatives of the dean. They are all familiar faces and can't get in at all."

"What about the tree in the back mountain? Didn't two people run away from there?"

"Two people ran away. One ran to the village and was caught by the villagers. The dean gave each villager a bonus of 500..."

"What about the other one?"

"There is One ran into the mountains, was chased back by the dean and five wolfhounds from the villagers, and then locked up in the 'Five Elements Mental Health Rehabilitation Center', and has never been seen since. "

"Didn't someone else run away from the sewer?"

"Yes, the girl even ran all the way to the county town, but was brought back and put into the sanatorium. No one knows where she went in the end..."

"Then where should we go..."

"I'm still thinking, bear with it for a few more days, I will definitely take you out!"

Time passed day by day, and the few days that Ma Wenbo mentioned disappeared, and hope gradually disappeared as hesitation grew.

On a late autumn night, a noisy sound came from the academy, which seemed to be the sound of an ambulance siren.

In the chaos, Cheng Xu vaguely saw someone being carried into the car, twitching constantly, and spitting blood from the corners of his mouth.

Before he could continue to observe, the instructor who was awakened knocked on the dormitory door and scolded the students who were watching the excitement.

"You little bastards! What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll whip you ten times!"

Cheng Xu hurried back to the bed, closed his eyes, and kept thinking about what had just happened.

The two medical staff who sent the patient to the car did not seem to know the academy...
