Bang!

ZERO'S BODY WAS SLAMMED INTO THE WOOD-COLORED WALL OF THE WAINSCOTING BEFORE FALLING TO THE GROUND WITH THE FORCE OF THE REBOUND.

"Ahh

"Get up!" the stern voice was full of fierce wildness, and at the same time full of majesty that did not dare to disobey.

ZERO STRUGGLED TO SUPPORT HIS BODY WITH HIS ARMS, LOOKING AT AN OLD MAN IN A ROBE STANDING FOUR OR FIVE METERS AWAY FROM HIM.

The old man's age is unknown, but the beard on his face almost obscures most of his face, and his eyes are covered by heavy eyebrows, and he can't feel what kind of mood he is in at the moment, but the other party has no sympathy at all.

"Don't fight anymore, I... I'll be obedient. ZERO SAID WITH TEARS IN HER EYES.

"Fighting. The old man's mouth spat out two words again, and his voice was so cold that there was no trace of emotion.

"NO," ZERO CRIED OUT IN DESPAIR.

The old man strode forward suddenly, and a large, fan-like hand grabbed at ZERO.

...

Hugo has watched himself be beaten countless times, but although it seems to be tragic, ZERO's body has not been hurt in reality. WHAT HE SAW NOW WAS A VIRTUAL PROJECTION OF WHAT ZERO FELT IN HIS HEAD, AND IN THE WORDS OF PROFESSOR SIMON, HE WAS IN CLASS.

And the beginning of the course is a competition with an old man.

Just like the virtual tutorials developed for young children in the market today, ZERO is faced with a combat tutorial that even adults find rigouring, and the only way to complete the teaching is to defeat this imposing old man.

Time is gradually passing, but Hugo has a hunch that the time that ZERO is experiencing is the same as the time he has experienced, belonging to a relativistic state of brain time and real time.

The time that ZERO reads in the lab chamber is much slower than the time his mind has experienced. The Institute uses this method to compulsively improve the child in the shortest possible time, and this sleep-like subconscious education method is not intended to be the fastest and most efficient method.

Of course, along with this efficiency seems to be extremely dangerous.

"BANG!" ZERO'S BODY WAS ONCE AGAIN KNOCKED INTO THE SKY BY THE OLD MAN IN THE UNIFORM.

...

“π≈3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993...”

At the moment when ZERO's body was hit in the air, the scene that had just been like a dojo suddenly disappeared, and ZERO's body was crooked, and the whole person sat on a chair.

The white combat uniform he was wearing just now also turned into a pale cyan sportswear.

Standing in front of ZERO is a simulated robot that is about the height of an adult, but its face and posture retain a large number of stiff mechanical features.

The robot is wearing a doctor's gown, which makes people feel extremely strange to see.

At this time, the robot was mechanically reciting the value of pi, and the numbers were read out of its bionic mouth, which made people listen to it a little creepy.

ZERO, who had just been beaten, looked at the scene in front of him in a daze, and the whole person was stunned, not knowing what was going on.

"Repeat. ”

The robot finished reading a long number, and then suddenly said to ZERO.

"Huh?" "ZERO" ZERO, BLINKING AT THE STRANGE ROBOT WITH TEAR-STAINED EYES.

"Repeat. ”

The robot said coldly again.

"Heavy... Complex... WHAT?" ZERO asked softly.

"Answer incorrectly, accept the punishment. The robot said coldly.

ZERO DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ROBOT WAS MEANT, BUT HE QUICKLY UNDERSTOOD THE LAST TWO WORDS IT HAD JUST SAID.

"Don't..."Before he could finish speaking, a strong current surged through Zero's body.

"Ahh Yes... Ahh

THE STRONG CURRENT QUICKLY RECEDED, AND ZERO COLLAPSED IN HIS SEAT, HIS EYES BLOODSHOT RED, BUT HE WAS STILL CONSCIOUS.

“π≈3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993...”

The robot began its own cold narration again.

"Repeat. The robot said again.

"I don't understand what you're talking about..."

"The answer is incorrect. ”

The electricity strikes again.

“π≈3.1415926535...”

"Pie... Approximately equal to... 3.141592645...”

"The answer is incorrect. ”

The current strikes again.

...

Yes!

A frantic shudder brought ZERO to his senses.

At this moment, he was already standing on a vast grassland.

This place is different from the lawn where it used to inhibit play, the mixed blades of grass are thick and dry, and there is a painful feeling when they scratch the flesh of the body.

At the same time, the long blades of grass have lost most of Zero's waist, making it difficult to walk here.

Call... Call...

A HEAVY BREATH ERUPTED FROM ZERO'S NOSE, AND THE SCENE AFTER SCENE REPLAYED IN HIS MIND, AS IF IT WERE A NIGHTMARE, BUT IF IT WAS, IT WAS TOO REAL.

ZERO LOOKED DOWN AT HIS BODY, THERE WERE NO BRUISES ON HIS BODY, BUT THE COMBAT SUIT AND PALE CYAN TRACKSUIT HE WAS WEARING EARLIER WERE GONE, AND ZERO WAS COMPLETELY NAKED AT THE MOMENT.

An ominous premonition wells up in ZERO's mind.

THEN, ZERO SMELLS A CHOKING RANCID ODOR.

ZERO HURRIEDLY TURNED TO LOOK, BUT SAW THAT SEVERAL HUGE MALE LIONS WERE GRADUALLY APPROACHING HIM FROM ONE SIDE, AND THEIR BLOOD-RED EYES SHOWED THE CRUELTY OF HUNGER, AND THE RANCID BREATH WAFTED FROM THE HALF-OPEN MOUTH OF THE BLOOD BASIN.

ZERO'S MOUTH OPENED WIDE IN SURPRISE, AND HE COULDN'T EVEN MAKE A SOUND OF FEAR AT THE MOMENT.

The great fear shattered all his courage, and the whole person froze there, not knowing what to do, and could only watch the male lions approach.

When the male lions were only five or six meters away from ZERO, the violent feeling suddenly stimulated their bodies, and the male lion, who had just traveled relatively slowly, suddenly burst out and pounced on ZERO.

Pushing the defenseless ZERO to the ground, his sharp teeth and lion's claws digging straight into his flesh. As the other lions arrived, several bloody mouths directly tore Zero's body apart.

ZERO's screams resounded across the grassland.

...

THE DARKNESS CONSUMED ZERO ONCE MORE, AND THE RELENTLESS PAIN AND PAIN CONTINUED TO TORMENT HIM BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY. However, no matter how much he resisted, he could not break free from this strange circle, and it was not death that awaited him.

It's an endless ordeal.

Ahhh

Moaning and crying seems to have become the only language Zero has mastered.

Suddenly, a number popped up in his mind.

13。

Thirteen。

Then a face popped up in his mind.

The face smiled at him.

"I'm waiting for you. ”

Thirteen whispered to him.

Then the smile faded and everything went dark.

...

Yes!

ZERO'S EYES SNAPPED OPEN, AND THE LIGHT ENTERED HIS FIELD OF VISION AGAIN.

Surrounded by a dojo full of wood colors, the old man in Taoist clothes stood in front of him and said coldly, "Get up." ”

ZERO STARED BLANKLY AT THE OLD MAN.

After a while, the purity and innocence in the eyes were replaced by coldness.
