Reborn with Consumption System

Brother Lie was dumbfounded.

...

Before bursting into dormitory 404, Dan Zihao had many fantasies.

That freaking moron, Han Lie.

His instinctively squinted eyes wouldn't hide his panic and fear.

The bastard would cover his eyes with his hand and ask in a panic, "Who are you guys?"

His response would be a flying kick from Little Tiger.

Now, I, Dan Zihao, will show you what cruelty really is!

Pleading, crying, screaming...

Cry, yell, despair!

But even Jesus can't save you!

The one carving eternal fear into your blood-splattered face will be your daddy, Dan Zihao!

But you won't know. You can only suspect, and you'll never find the proof.

What is cruelty?

This is the ultimate cru-cru-cruelty…

Dan Zihao had only taken one step forward when suddenly his eyes widened, and he froze.

Little Tiger surged one step further than him. He was supposed to launch a flying kick, but as his right foot lifted, his left leg suddenly gave way, and with a snap, he fell to his knees at the very front.

Kong Yize was always eager; fighting was his favorite activity.

So, he followed close behind, his muscular right hand gripping a steel pipe firmly.

Now, Kong Yize was petrified.

Zhou Ci was sneaky and slick, following right behind the most capable fighter, Kong Yize.

Then, with a bang, he crashed into Kong's broad back. His nose throbbed with pain, and stars danced before his eyes.

He cursed furiously.

"Damn it, you son of a bi-bi-bi-bi…"

Mid-curse, Zhou Ci's eyes widened. Peering through the gap between Kong Yize and Little Tiger, he saw the scene before him, and his teeth began to chatter uncontrollably.

Only four men had charged in, and now, they were all stuck at the doorway, within a two-meter range, frozen like four statues.

Blonde Hair, Little Cheng, Hai Tao, and Big Bull exchanged glances, sensing that something was off.

Shouldn't there be some noise whether they fought or not? What is this situation?

The doors to dormitories 404 and 405 were both wide open. The four guys stood straight, tiptoed, and peered in unison into dorm 404…

Holy shit!!!

The lights were off in the dormitory, but the ceiling lights in the hallway remained on.

Brightness and darkness formed a distinct boundary two meters into dormitory 404.

In the darkness, suspended high up, was a… a corpse?

The balcony door of dorm 404 was open. The Magic Capital's mildly chilly winter wind blew in from the balcony, followed the convection currents, and swept into the hallway.

The curtains were drawn up, billowing like the grasping claws of Death's twin banners.

The cold wind caused the corpse to sway gently. The movement wasn't pronounced, but moonlight pouring in from the back cast a restless shadow.

It was as if it were roaring.

As the curtain fell, the shadow faded, but the face became clearer.

It was their target for today!

The curtain was blown up again, moonlight scattered, and the face once again retreated into the shadows, sending a chill down to their very bones.

"Wh-wh-wh-what's g-g-going on?"

Terrified, Zhou Ci's mind went blank. When he managed to stammer out the question, he instinctively clung to Kong Yize's waist in front of him.

Bro, I need some reassurance!

Kong Yize not only failed to reassure him but was also startled by Zhou Ci's sudden touch, sending a shiver down his spine.

"Oh my god!"

CLANG!

"Fuck!"

His hand went limp, and he could no longer hold the steel pipe. It slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground with a loud clang. The noise startled Dan Zihao, causing him to yell.

"Are you fucking insane?!"

Kong Yize felt both his bladder and sphincter muscles beginning to rebel, particularly the former, which seemed to leak a bit. Furious and ashamed, he cursed out loud, "It's just a dead guy who committed suicide! What's there to be afraid of? Fucking coward!"

"Right, right, right!"

Zhou Ci nodded frantically. Whatever you say is right, man.

He had never seen anything like this, and it was so different from what he had imagined. The shock was just too much for him.

Kong Yize felt he had to act brave—even if he wasn't, he couldn't afford to look like a coward.

So, he mustered his courage and took a step forward.

"Hurry up and call 120! I'll go get him down..."

Brave Zeze, fearless in the face of hardship!

Just as Kong Yize was psyching himself up and about to take another step, his pupils suddenly contracted sharply!

Did the corpse in front of him just... move, move, move a bit?

Kong Yize thought he was seeing things because he was so scared, so he widened his eyes… only to see the rumored psychopath suddenly lift his head!

"Motherfucker!"

Brave Zeze suddenly leaped high, grabbing onto Huang Wei's bed railing. He then flipped one leg onto the bed.

However, that was the extent of his courage. His waist and legs went soft. He couldn't flip his right leg up, so he ended up with his legs clamped, half-dangling over Huang Wei's bed railing.

He was shaking like a terrified macaque.

Behind him, it was utter chaos.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

THUD!

Zhou Ci turned to run but then smashed headfirst into the room door directly behind him, making a loud noise.

His forehead hit the door first, and he went down, stiff as a board.

In the midst of the chaos, Little Tiger, who was kneeling and trying to get up, subconsciously raised his head, his butt in the air...

...and saw the entire process of Han Lie slowly lifting his head from its hanging position.

THUMP!

Little Tiger's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed face down, his butt still in the air.

Great-grandpa, New Year's is almost here... Enjoy yourself down there. Don't worry about me… SOB SOB SOB SOB!

In the end, only Dan Zihao remained, rooted to the spot, unable to move.

It wasn't that he didn't want to move; he simply couldn't.

Throughout his body, only his legs trembled and his teeth chattered; the rest of his organs had gone on strike.

CHATTER CHATTER CHATTER...

His teeth nearly broke from the force.

Until Han Lie completely lifted his head and looked straight at him with those hollow eyes…

The moment their eyes met, Brother Hao felt a warmth spread through his groin.

Whew... Finally, some relief.

All the pressure, fear, and despair released in an instant, leaving behind nothing but a blank mind, devoid of a single thought.

Jesus, just let me die right here, right now…

From a distance, Huang Wei watched the whole scene, his mouth agape, reawakening the terror he'd felt during his nap that day.

But compared to last time, a sense of relief suddenly welled up in his heart.

I knew it! I just knew it! This damn dorm—you can't even step foot in it again!
