Ch 75: Wang Lin’s Secret

“Freak! Freak! Hahahahaha!”

“Where am I?”

Wang Lin looked around. Oh, it’s the school, a place he’d dreamt of countless times.

He must be too tired, so he’s having another dream about school.

“Freak! Where’s your hair?”

A sharp pain hit the back of his head; a boy’s slap landed there.

“Ugh!”

Wang Lin cried out in pain. He was very surprised. Why did it hurt so much? Wasn’t this a dream?!

Wang Lin looked around fearfully.

It was break time. Although he was in the corner of the classroom, it didn’t stop those bastards from making fun of him.

They formed a circle, and even though they’d known him for a long time, each time it was as if they’d never seen him before, examining him from head to toe.

He was naturally thin and hairless. Ever since he started school, he’d had many nicknames.

Freak, Baldie, Voldemort, Baldie…

They used all their imagination on him, as if making fun of him was a condiment in their lives.

But why did he return to this Hell? Although he had graduated over ten years ago, he would dream of school countless times, but those were just dreams.

Their slapping, shoving, and the incredibly familiar, disgusting sounds—this wasn’t something that could happen in a dream…

The bell rang, and Wang Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn’t looking forward to class because he liked studying, but because he didn’t like being surrounded during break.

Every break, he would run into the toilet, lock a stall, and stand there for the entire break before returning.

This was the best way to escape bullying.

If only he were a normal child, or if only his family were rich.

Even if he still didn’t have hair, if his family had some power, he wouldn’t be treated like this by these devils in human skin.

Wang Lin equally hated everyone. During his adolescence, he never felt any fondness for anyone.

Boys would bully him, and girls would scream at him, making them appear weak, timid, and pitiable.

He wanted to be an ordinary person, but he was always an outcast.

His only way to de-stress was to lure stray cats with food, then catch them and torture them to death in various ways.

So it was this pleasurable to bully weaker life forms. No wonder those bastards were so persistent in bullying him; this feeling was addictive.

And after those lively lives lost their vitality in his hands and became motionless, he found those corpses fascinating.

Although his grades were good and he went to university, no unit would hire him because of his appearance.

He usually wore clothes with hoods, so he could cover his head as much as possible.

But no unit would allow him to wear a hood during an interview.

Wang Lin applied for a job as a hospital employee, working in the morgue, only responsible for guarding the morgue and registering entries and exits.

Normal people wouldn’t do it, but he was very happy.

There was no regret over wasting his top-tier university education. Wang Lin felt that this was his ideal destination.

People are only most attractive after death.

One day, a female corpse was brought to the morgue. It was said that this girl had congenital heart disease and died shortly after an attack.

Unlike other corpses that were old and bloody, the girl’s expression was calm, as if she were just asleep.

At night, Wang Lin felt that the girl was calling to him.

She was saying it was stuffy, that she wanted to go out for some air.

Wang Lin opened the girl’s cabinet, and the girl sat up, looking at him gently, then gently touching his cheek.

These were just Wang Lin’s imaginations, but he found that the excitement he lacked during adolescence was now becoming increasingly intense.

The corpse was so attractive. She was so quiet, she wouldn’t show disgust at his appearance, speak harshly, or hit him.

She was just waiting for him quietly. She must have existed for him.

Wang Lin reached out and touched her. He didn’t feel cold at all; instead, he felt that he had spent his most wonderful night.

But their meeting was destined to be short-lived. The next day, the girl’s family cremated her body.

Wang Lin felt extremely disheartened. He explored many corpses afterward, but none gave him the same feeling as that girl.

But now he’s back at school. Could this real feeling be his rebirth?

This time, he would cherish his encounter with the girl and do everything he could to keep her.

During break, he immediately hid in the toilet stall.

He stood on the toilet waiting for the bell to ring so he could avoid those bastards.

“He’s here! He’s not in the toilet!”

Wang Lin looked up in terror, only to meet a pair of smiling eyes. The boy was crouching on the top of the stall, looking down at him.

With the boy’s shout, Wang Lin was horrified to find the toilet getting crowded.

The boys excitedly rushed in, kicking the stall door hard, again and again.

As the door bounced against the wall with a loud bang, Wang Lin’s face showed fear.

Those boys were like evil ghosts, with evil smiles on their faces.

“So you hide! You’re so brave, you know how to hide now! You freak!”

Again and again, their fists and feet fell on Wang Lin’s body, as if he had done something terrible, and they represented justice judging him.

Wang Lin felt his head getting dizzy. With the bell ringing, he was relieved.

The teacher saw him limping into the classroom without showing any concern. His face was still injured, but she made him stand at the door because he was late.

Wang Lin looked at the blackboard: “3 days left until the college entrance exam.”

Thankfully, there were only three days left until this nightmare ended. At university, although people might cast surprised glances, no one would hit him.

Just bear with it.

Standing until noon, Wang Lin felt dizzy. The group of bastards downstairs happily watched him. Wang Lin tried to remember their faces. He knew he would become strong in the apocalypse; he would make these people suffer then.

At noon, they dumped their trays on his head. Everyone in the cafeteria showed disgust and ridicule.

He endured until school was over and went home. His mother wouldn’t care about him, only complaining that she was already very tired and why he made himself so dirty. When would he grow up!

Wang Lin was numb. He wanted to escape this city. Only three more days to go.

The next day, he felt his injuries weren’t as painful. Although he arrived at the school gate very early, he still lingered until just before class to enter. He hated this place, hated everything here.

But when he looked at the blackboard in class, why was it still yesterday’s lesson? And it said, “3 days left until the college entrance exam.”

“Why is it still 3 days! It should be 2 days!”

Wang Lin stood up amidst everyone’s surprised stares and shouted.

The bell rang, and the teacher looked at Wang Lin with disgust, announced the end of class, and left.

“Freak! Freak! Hahahahaha!”

Everyone surrounded him, and a slap landed on the back of his head.

“Why is this happening…Can someone save me…”
