After clearing the game, I became the villain BOSS

In this dark place, the guards are like gods. They will find various reasons to punish the children, just to make these people live in fear, numbness, and finally become puppets at the mercy of others.

It is unknown who invented this "dark prison" punishment.

But one day it is certain. This is the most terrifying punishment for children, far more terrifying than being kicked or beaten with a stick.

A black cell is a completely dark space, with the surrounding walls covered with soundproof cotton, which not only blocks outside sounds but also prevents those inside from committing suicide by hitting the walls.

The interior is very narrow, the walls on both sides are very close together, making it impossible to lie down, and the ceiling is low, making it difficult to stand upright and can only maintain a semi-crouching position.

Once a person is imprisoned, the first thing they lose is their vision. Soon, their bent limbs will become numb due to excessive exhaustion. Finally, this numbness will spread throughout the body, from the body to the spirit, until they can no longer feel their own existence.

Even a child with the most rebellious personality can be emotionally shattered by just a few hours in a dark cell, and he will never dare to commit another crime again.

And once the punishment time is measured in "days", it will be a terrifying and extreme torture.

When the dark cell door in front of Zero opened again, it was already three days later. The soundproofing cotton inside had become tattered, and the walls were covered with blood stains from scratches, as if they were drawing a crazy painting.

No. 0's body fell out from behind the door, his eyes were empty and blurred, and he lay paralyzed on the ground like a broken rag doll.

The fingernails of the little hands were all open and covered with thick bloody scabs, and the skin was covered with scratches, all of which were left behind in the dark prison.

The saddest thing is that she was born without pain nerves and did not even receive complete feedback from her self-mutilation. She could only use her insignificant touch to fight against the mania caused by the dark prison.

After the guard opened the door, he only threw a bottle of water and a piece of bread to No. 0, and then left her lying there to stink and rot.

No. 0 did not move. Even though his body was extremely hungry and thirsty during the three days of detention, he did not grab the water or food in front of him.

The blood from the wound has dried up, and the tears have long since dried up. Even if there is a light on the ceiling, it feels like the light is disappearing little by little, and the whole world has turned black.

Lingering for breath, no expectations, only pain, no hope in sight.

Pointless

What's the point of living like this?

No. 0 silently picked up the piece of bread, kneaded it in his hands, and pressed the originally fluffy bread into a tight ball.

Then he put it in his mouth and breathed in sharply.

The bread ball got stuck in the trachea, and the suffocated No. 0 quickly collapsed to the ground. His face kept turning red and gradually turned purple.

But she didn't struggle, she just lay silently, letting the darkness fill her vision.

That's fine

Go to sleep

I slept all the time, very comfortable

A feeling of suffocation surged throughout his body, and his consciousness became increasingly blurred.

I don’t know how much time passed.

"Zero, Zero"

A muffled and urgent call came to my ears, and my body was hugged.

No. 0 felt two arms wrap around in front of him, tightening around his waist and abdomen.

"Cough -" With a burst of constriction impact, she suddenly coughed out the bread ball stuck in her throat, and then lay on the ground coughing and gasping violently, "Cough! Cough, cough, cough!"

Fresh air rushed into her lungs, bringing a sense of rebirth, and her vision gradually became clear, and she saw the girl squatting in front of her.

The girl's back was facing the lamp, her face looked vaguely hazy in the backlight halo, but she could clearly see that her jewel-like eyes were full of worry: "Number Zero, are you okay?"

"Xiaoqi." Zero murmured the other person's name.

Xiaoqi looked at the saliva-covered bread balls on the ground and asked tentatively: "Are you choking or..."

No. 0 said nothing, and there was only deathly grayness in his eyes.

This look quickly made Xiaoqi realize something.

Xiaoqi didn't mind it, so she quickly hid the bread ball in her pocket, then came over to hug No. 0 and gently stroked her back: "Shh, okay, okay, it's okay. Why can't I think about it all of a sudden?"

Number Zero leaned weakly in Xiaoqi's arms and murmured in a low voice: "Why does everyone hate me?"

Xiaoqi hugged Zero tighter and touched the back of her head gently: "They hate you. That's because they are bad, not your fault."

Number Zero: "But they all called me a monster, said I was ugly and disgusting."

"Well" Xiaoqi held up No. 0's face and looked at it carefully, "You have a lot of injuries on your head, you have no hair, and your face is so thin that you have no flesh. No matter how beautiful a person is, they are all ugly. "

"What's wrong with being called a monster? Let them call you a monster. They call you a monster because they are actually jealous of your difference. It's just the vent of the weak."

Xiaoqi sat next to Zero and comforted: "I think that when your body gets better, your hair grows, and your face becomes fleshy, you will become super beautiful, and many people will like you."

Zero buried his head between his knees and whispered: "No one likes a monster."

"Who said it, I just like it." Xiaoqi extended her hand to No. 0, "I asked the supervisor to change my dormitory a few days ago, and the approval was approved. From today on, we are roommates~"

Number Zero stood there blankly.

She has been alone for as long as she can remember.

The guards hate her.

The other kids hated her.

No one wants to be around monsters.

roommate

She never thought she would have a roommate.

Number Zero: "Why do you want to"

Xiaoqi looked at her with a smile, her eyes as soft and warm as the green sun: "Because, I like your eyes."

Number Zero: "Eyes?"

Xiaoqi said seriously: "Well, I once read in a book that the eyes are the windows to the soul."

"Everyone else here has cold eyes, which makes people feel uncomfortable."

"Although your eyes are always dull, you are very beautiful~ I think you must also have a beautiful heart, but neither others nor yourself have noticed it."

Number Zero lowered his head, feeling a little at a loss for the moment.

Xiaoqi pulled No. 0 to stand up and said with a smile: "Let's go, I will take you to wash the dirty things on your body, and then we will go to bed~"

It's bedtime and there are guards patrolling the corridors.

As soon as he saw someone moving around, he walked over with a cold face: "What are you doing?"

"Good evening, uncle." Xiaoqi bowed politely to the guard and smiled sweetly, "Can I take Zero to take a bath?"

The guard glanced at them, said nothing, and pointed back: "Go back before lights out."

"Thank you, uncle!" Xiaoqi bowed to the guard again and pulled Zero towards the public bathroom.

The water in the bathroom is very cold, but the children here don't know what a hot bath feels like and have long been used to it.

No. 0 washed the dirt on his body and stared blankly at Xiaoqi next to him: "Why do the guards treat you so well?"

Xiaoqi turned around and said with a smile: "Hmph, do you want to know my secret? Of course it's because of laughter~"

"Laughing?" Zero asked blankly.

"Yes, smile!" Xiaoqi put her fingers on the corners of her lips and gently pulled up the curve of her smile. "No matter who it is, as long as they see other people's smiles, their mood will improve. No one likes to see the other person's face. Tian has a straight face."

"So, my secret is to smile. When facing the guards, smile and talk to them. The happier you are, the better. It will make them feel like a welcome person."

"As time goes by, their attitude towards you will also change for the better. Sometimes if you make a small mistake, they won't be so harsh."

Xiaoqi walked to No. 0, held the little face with her little hands, and smiled deliberately with an exaggerated smile: "Come on, I will teach you my secret now, laugh with me~"

laugh?

Such strange words

In this dark place, Number Zero has forgotten what laughter is.

She stiffly twitched the corners of her lips and grinned.

Xiaoqi's face was horrified and she shook her head: "No, no! You're not smiling, it's just like crying. Do it again, make a sound like me - Ahahaha! Ahahahaha!"

"Ahahaha, ahahahaha."

"It's still not right. Think of something happy. For example, the guard gave you two extra pieces of bread during the meal. Think about how happy it would be! Come on, laugh~ Ahahaha! Ahahahaha!"

They were like two little fools, laughing at each other in the bathroom.

Laughing until the lights were almost out, Xiaoqi quickly took Zero to dry herself and ran out of the bathroom.

On the way, they met the guard again.

The guard snapped: "Why are you so slow? Do you want to get beaten?"

Xiaoqi poked Zero's waist and winked at her.

Zero plucked up the courage and tried to smile apologetically to the guard: "I'm sorry, uncle, I've caused you trouble, we'll go back right now."

The other person was laughing, and the guard didn't have the nerve to hit him. He waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry, don't waste time."

The two returned to the room, and Zero murmured blankly: "Laughter really works."

Xiaoqi stuck out her tongue and smiled like a bad cat: "Right, this is my unique secret~ Smile is the best weapon to protect yourself."

At this time, Xiaoqi suddenly remembered something and looked at the empty lower bunk: "Ah, no, I forgot to bring my bedding over."

"Dang, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, dang, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, dang, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, dang, dang, dang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang, tang." The sound of sticks hitting the iron bars came from the corridor, and the guard's voice came: "Lights out, everyone lies down in bed, no talking."

Xiaoqi helped No. 0 to the upper bunk: "You go to bed first."

Number Zero: "What about you?"

Xiaoqi: "I'm going to beg the guard to let me take down the bedding."

Number Zero quickly said: "If I don't let you take it, we can just sleep on the top bunk together."

"I know, go to sleep quickly." Xiaoqi ran out.

Although No. 0 wanted to wait for Xiaoqi to come back, three days in the dark cell had already exhausted her mental and physical strength.

She lay on the bed, feeling like the world was spinning, and fell asleep in a daze.

When Zero woke up the next day, he found that there was no one around him.

She looked over and found that Xiaoqi was sleeping on the lower bunk, without sheets or quilt, just huddled together in the winter.

Obviously, the guard did not agree to Xiaoqi's request to move the bedding after turning off the lights.

In order to let the exhausted Zero sleep as peacefully as possible, she did not squeeze into the upper bunk together last night and slept alone on the bottom bunk bed.

No. 0 felt a sour feeling well up in her nose. She carried the quilt to the lower bunk and covered Xiaoqi. Then she squeezed into the quilt and pressed against her cold skin, using her body temperature to warm her.

Xiaoqi turned over in a daze, smiled and murmured: "Good morning, little monster, you are so warm."

Zero held Xiaoqi and closed his eyes. Tears suddenly overflowed from the gaps in his eyes, and transparent liquid flowed silently on his face.

After today's experiment, it's time to relax again.

Xiaoqi took Zero to the activity area and asked in a low voice: "Have you remembered everything I taught you?"

Zero rubbed his clothes nervously and nodded slightly.

As soon as they entered the activity area, they saw the boy who took the lead in beating people before.

The boy was bitten severely by Zero three days ago, and there was an obvious bloody tooth mark on his hand.

As soon as he saw Zero approaching, his eyes suddenly became hostile: "Stay away from me, monster."

Zero lowered his head, carefully took out the uneaten apple from his arms, and handed it to the boy with both hands: "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have bitten you that day."

"Huh?" The boy was confused.

He originally thought that this ugly monster would come up and fight with him, but he didn't expect that it would actually apologize.

For a moment, he wondered if this was some kind of trick, like there was something dirty on the apple, deliberately tricking him into eating it.

He stood there motionless, eyeing Zero warily.

Zero raised his head, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he forced a friendly smile.

This made the boy even more confused.

Xiaoqi spoke up at the right time: "The girls have taken the initiative to apologize, but you are still so nagging, are you a boy?"

The boy's face felt hot. Looking at No. 0 who was actively showing his kindness, she couldn't help but continue arguing. She could only take the apple and said vaguely: "I was also at fault. I shouldn't hit you."

"That's right!" Xiaoqi pulled their hands together and said with a smile, "We are all poor bastards locked up here. We have no parents and no mothers. We can only take care of each other."

"If we all hate each other, there will really be no one in the world who cares about us."

The boy whispered: "But the intensity of this experiment recently has been really too great. I know this is not something Zero can decide, but it is undeniable that it has something to do with her, and everyone is very angry."

Xiaoqi smiled evilly and lowered her voice and said, "So I thought of a way~"

"What can I do?" the boy asked quickly.

Xiaoqi brought Zero over and lowered her voice: "Zero, from now on, whenever the group does high-current experiments, you will fall into coma."

Number Zero muttered: "But why am I unconscious? I've never been unconscious before."

"Oh, little idiot." Xiaoqi pinched No. 0's face, "Of course you're pretending!"

"Just close your eyes and ignore the researchers no matter how they yell. You can also pretend to have cramps, drool a little, foam at the mouth, etc."

"This way they will think you can't bear it, so they won't dare to increase the intensity of the current randomly, and other children will not suffer the same consequences."

The boy exclaimed: "That's a good idea! Please, No. Zero, you must help everyone!"

Zero stared blankly at the boy in front of him, his eyes full of urgency.

This was the first time she felt needed by someone else.

In the later period, because Zero often fell into "coma" due to large current shocks, various research groups felt that the intensity of the experiment was too high, and they all slowed down the pace.

The stress on the children dropped dramatically, their moods improved, and the atmosphere during the outing became more relaxed.

This made No. 0 seem to be a different person, no longer the lifeless look she once was. She also made many friends, including the boy who beat her the hardest at that time. They often played games and caught bugs together in the activity area. insect.

No one calls Monster Zero anymore. Everyone calls her name affectionately. Some children even think that Zero is too thin and take the initiative to leave some of what they eat at each meal for her to supplement her nutrition.

In this dark and lightless cage, Xiaoqi is like a torch, becoming the only light in Zero's life.

She will follow this light and keep walking.

She longed for it.
