    Chapter 102 Enrollment

    The two corpse collectors dressed in green work clothes walked into the room, only to unexpectedly discover that there was still a person inside the room.

    “Child, you are?” The person known as Old Zhang asked with suspicion, “Who are the people hanging on the ceiling to you?”

    “Father and aunt.” Bai Yan answered fluently.

    Old Zhang was quite surprised by Bai Yan’s answer. He and his coworker looked at each other and cautiously asked, “Then, how are you still alive?”

    “Father told me to hide in the closet so that the ghost wouldn’t find me.”

    “Oh, oh, so that’s it.”

    The two corpses echoed each other’s replies, both feeling inconceivable, as though they couldn’t comprehend why this happened, why would the couple do this.

    However, despite not understanding, the two corpse collectors also felt that this child in front of them wouldn’t lie about this matter.

    Bai Yan replied without the slightest hesitation, making a layer of haze cover Master Wang’s face.

    ‘This brat really doesn’t show deference!’

    Master Wang’s complexion turned blue for a moment before resuming its normal state, not tolerating his answer, “Little boy, you don’t need to say it. I know that you really want to attend school!”

    “To put it bluntly, your parents are already dead. You don’t have money, so how could you survive in this society? Who would provide you food, who would provide you water?

    Your Uncle Wang is a kind-hearted person. Right now, I want to tell you one incredibly good thing—— I know a headmaster, and she can help you get into an elementary school. The school will take care of your meals and living situation, as well as let kids your age play with you. You only need to be well-behaved and attend school, and you won’t ever have to worry about getting hungry!”

    “…”

    Master Wang’s evil intentions were excessively clear, while distrust filled Bai Yan’s face. Master Wang didn’t care about him.

    From his point of view, this orphan had already become his possession. From the two adult’s perspective, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn’t escape!

    For fear that this would be a long night with many dreams, Master Wang dialed a number on his phone in front of Bai Yan.

    Once the call went through, he put on a flattering smile and spoke on the phone as though he was currying favor, “Headmaster Xu, it’s like this. I found an orphan that hasn’t gone to school. Can he take my child’s place so that my child doesn’t have to go to the ‘Special’ school…”

    “Yes, it’s like that…”

    “…Okay, then it’s settled. Headmaster Xu, you can come here right now to pick up the child! Thank you, Headmaster Xu. I’ll invite you over to dinner with my child’s mother. When that time comes, I’ll give you a big thank you!”

    Master Wang hung up on the phone, his face beaming with happiness.

    Before Headmaster Xu’s arrival, Master Wang told Master Zhang to block the door as he opened the body bag. He stepped on a chair to lower the two dead bodies and began to stuff the corpses inside.

    Since he was extremely fearful of ghosts, Master Wang didn’t dare look at them any more than he needed to. He only knew that the male cadaver had an open chest and a destroyed belly. Moreover, the two dead bodies both had a red seal stamped onto their faces. He could only hurriedly wrap them up inside the bag.

    As Master Wang was wrapping up a corpse, Bai Yan was at the side silently watching this entire ordeal from start.

    He was quite familiar with the strange deaths of the two corpses, but the insurance policy originally nailed to their heads had disappeared without a trace, leading him to think it odd.

    Something was wrong with the events that occurred these past few days, leaving him to only feel puzzled, but he couldn’t say this out loud.

    Additionally, he felt like a long time had passed over these past few days, but also like only a little time had passed. It was as though a day would pass when he merely opened and closed his eyes, which shouldn’t be the case.

    Bai Yan was absent-minded for only a short while and felt that this was normal, so he put this strange feeling behind him.

    When his soul finally came back to him, a ‘deng deng deng’ noise came from the door, and a high-heeled woman stepped through the entrance. Behind her were two armed soldiers, following closely behind, guarding her.

    “Headmaster Xu, this is him. His parents had died and are packed inside these bags. You can collect him right now!” Master Wang bowed and lowered his head, his posture so low that he could taste the dust on the ground.

    Seeing Headmaster Xu nod her head to him, extending her arm and pointing towards the door, Master Wang and Master Zhang dragged the body bags away, hurriedly putting them over their shoulders as they went down the stairs.

    They didn’t go far when Bai Yan faintly heard a sound from a person’s phone.

    In the corridor, Master Wang’s distinct voice from outside could be heard, “Who? Selling insurance? Get lost, I’m too busy working to buy any insurance!”

    Bai Yan blinked his eyes, seeming to have realized something.

    He raised his head to look at Headmaster Xu, but the high-heeled woman didn’t have any intention of conversing with him.

    She merely pulled his hand and hauled him through the door.

    They walked for who knew how long, and after they passed through a large group of buildings, the landscape changed drastically, unexpectedly arriving at a registration site where primary school enrollments took place.

    In front of the school’s iron gates, a female teacher sat in an office chair, leaning over to fill out a form.

    Next to the female teacher, there were also two lines of soldiers armed to the teeth standing rigidly, sweeping everyone a cold gaze.

    There was a long queue before the front desk.

    The line extended to the streets and turned around a corner. You couldn’t see where it started.

    Parents led their kids, and the line was moving at a snail’s pace.

    Headmaster Xu brought Bai Yan along and skipped the line, saying to the gatekeeper, “Open it.”

    The spikes on the iron gate slowly opened, revealing a small passage that only a child could pass through.

    Headmaster Xu ruthlessly kicked Bai Yan in, then she lifted his calves and stomped on the child, who wanted to squeeze out of the gap, with her high heels, quickly signaling for the gatekeeper to hurry up and close the gate.

    Through the large iron gate was an elementary school campus. A lot of children, who were Bai Yan’s age, were also locked inside the campus, making the place quite chaotic.

    In the mass of children, some teachers were trying to keep the order with great difficulty, but only a few children listened to them. Even those who lined up as required couldn’t help but wail while standing in line, making the people around them annoyed.

    Moreover, some kids didn’t listen. Some dug into the shrubs and couldn’t get out, while some were clinging onto the large iron gate, acting like cats and trying to crawl out through the gaps in the large metal gate.

    However, no matter what they did, their efforts were all in vain.

    The campus was similar to a maximum-security prison. Its walls stood tall and erect, and on top of these walls were sharp electric barb-wires. There was basically no space to bore into.

    Outside the walls, countless soldiers patrolled the perimeter, so even if a child was able to escape the campus, they still wouldn’t be able to avoid the soldiers on guard.

    What’s more, apart from the small crack from opening the gate, there wasn’t any other way to leave this place.
