Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

"Host, this is very risky."

The administrative building was very dilapidated, with all kinds of moss growing on the damp concrete floor.

Fortunately, the morning sun was bright, shining obliquely into the corridor through the windows on the first floor. Zhang Chunliang stepped on the slippery ground, wondering if he would slip and fall here if he tried to escape.

"No matter how cautious I am, I will still be set up by the Game House." Zhang Chunliang replied to the Holy Father System, "It is better to take the initiative and seek death by surprise."

Ever since he knew that this world was created by Qu Anran's parents, he had guessed the true identity of the principal who had not shown up yet.

The rules of the school must be set by the constructor of the world, and since Qu Anran’s mother Niu Lili is just an “ordinary student”, his father must be a senior figure in the school.

What confirmed his guess even more was that he found an address book in the staff dormitory yesterday. The first person listed in the address book was "Principal Qu".

Zhang Chunliang knew that he was making a risky move that would cost him his life, but he couldn't just sit there and wait for death. Tonight, Game House would definitely find a way to send him to a pack of wolves to die.

This time he was fully prepared. Not only did he carry various self-defense and escape props, he also had a new body tattoo drawn on himself. Ravenk would pick him up not far from the administrative building, and if he encountered danger, he would trigger the escape passage and help him leave.

"I asked Master Guan for advice." Zhang Chunliang held onto the rusty blue railing and walked slowly up. "Master Guan said that everything will be fine for me today."

"Do you need to borrow some energy from the system?"

"It's still enough. I turned '朏朏' into a prop."

朏朏 is a strange beast in his world. It looks like a cat, has a white tail, and has the ability to heal wounds and relieve sorrow.

Seven days have passed and the tattoo skill has become ineffective. Zhang Chunliang uses the last two chances of "朏朏" to heal the wounds on his body and turns it into a healing item.

It was a cat-shaped badge that could help him heal a serious injury that was near death, or forget a deep sorrow, but the side effect was a bit big - after using it, he would turn into a cat for an indeterminate period of time.

Just in case, Zhang Chunliang pinned it on his chest.

He slowly climbed up the old stairs to the seventh floor.

The moment he reached the seventh floor, he felt his body begin to freeze and stiffen, as if he was breaking through an invisible jelly film. At this moment, he could not even hear his own voice.

When he broke through the soft membrane, the scene in front of him surprised him.

If the first six floors are typical old buildings that have fallen into disrepair, then the decoration of the seventh floor is out of tune with the entire building.

It turned out to be a very modern high-end office building with bright windows and clean desks, elegant and exquisite interior design, and a faint and elegant fragrance.

Zhang Chunliang was stunned by this huge contrast. He walked slowly along a row of offices and stopped in front of the most luxuriously decorated door. He saw "Principal's Office" written on it.

"Okay, well, let's do it this way. Don't hire those poor guys who like to steal human flesh, otherwise I won't pay you a penny." A cold male voice came from the slightly open office, and then he suddenly stopped as if he realized something.

He noticed someone coming in and hung up the phone neatly.

"Come in," said the person inside.

The scene was really weird. Zhang Chunliang didn't seem like he was facing a big boss in a horror world, but rather like... he was preparing for an interview with a mean boss.

Seeing that Zhang Chunliang had not made any move, the person in the room knocked on the desk unhappily: "Zhang Chunliang, don't waste time. My time is very precious."

Zhang Chunliang, who thought he was fully prepared, was stunned. What was going on? One of the builders of the horror copy, the principal of Dehong No. 2 Middle School, and Qu Anran's father, actually knew who he was? !

Who told him? Niu Lili? Why did he sound so familiar, as if... he had known Zhang Chunliang for a long time.

Zhang Chunliang took a few steps forward in a daze and pushed open the door of the principal's office.

The middle-aged man in a suit and tie leaned back on the sofa, looking at Zhang Chunliang with deep eyes.

The face was familiar yet strange. This middle-aged man looked very similar to Qu Anran, but his features were tougher and he had a bit more of the sharpness and maturity of an adult man.

"So this is what you look like." Qu Haiyu's brows relaxed and he smiled with interest, "You're even smaller than I thought."

"Who are you...?" Zhang Chunliang looked at him in astonishment. All the words he had prepared in advance were completely forgotten at this moment.

"I'm the father of that bastard. Shouldn't you have guessed it long ago?" Qu Haiyu stood up and motioned for Zhang Chunliang to sit on the sofa. "I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but I'm confined to this building and can't contact you."

His tone was very normal, as if he was talking to a friend: "Tea, Coke or mineral water?"

"Water will do." Zhang Chunliang replied stiffly.

Qu Haiyu took out a bottle of water from the small refrigerator and threw it to him.

"What on earth is going on?" Zhang Chunliang held the cold water in his hand. He felt like he was flying in the sky and had a panic feeling that he had no control over the situation.

"Where should I start?" Qu Haiyu cracked his knuckles, making a "crackling" sound. He sat casually opposite Zhang Chunliang, "Let's start with your identity."

"You, Zhang Chunliang, you are the principal of Dehong No. 2 Middle School."

“???” Zhang Chunliang’s expression almost broke, and he almost jumped up from the sofa. He looked incredible, “What on earth are you talking about?!”

Qu Haiyu laughed loudly, his voice was hearty and deafening. He pressed his hand down, signaling Zhang Chunliang to calm down: "This is a joke that is not a joke. It is true that I am in charge of the operation of the school, but fundamentally speaking, you are more suitable to be the principal of this school - after all, you are the creator of all the rules of this school."

"What do you mean? If I understand correctly, you are saying... the rules of the wolf-headed people and the rabbit-headed people were created by me, right?" Zhang Chunliang leaned heavily on the back of the sofa, his expression trying to be calm, but his tone was a little trembling: "Tell me in detail?"

"The first time you appeared beside me was probably when that bastard was in the third year of junior high school." Qu Haiyu frowned and recalled, "During that time, he often came home with injuries and was very irritable. His words were always very annoying. I couldn't help but beat him up a few times."

Qu Haiyu paused and added: "You know, something terrible happened to him at that time. I thought it was his adolescent self-esteem that made him feel ashamed and unwilling to communicate with us... As a result, we let him be bullied at school for a year and a half."

"He's not that kind of person." Zhang Chunliang interrupted him. "You should know your child better than I do. If he encounters difficulties, he will speak out very frankly without any cover-up. Something else must have happened between you that made him decide to hide this matter."

Qu Haiyu was silent for a long time, then he nodded slightly: "Yes, that should be the case. At that time, I was on the verge of bankruptcy due to some reasons. I was in a state of panic every day, dealing with the liquidation of assets. The incident that the little bastard caused had a significant impact on my reputation. Many friends avoided me like a gangster, let alone helped me. I was emotionally broken during that time. He probably didn't want to cause me trouble."

Therefore, Qu Anran concealed the fact that she was bullied. Because of the long-term beatings, she developed extreme emotional problems and her relationship with her parents became increasingly strained.

"Wanfang is a middle school teacher." Qu Haiyu said, "She is a strong-willed person. She used to be very proud of her son and would show off her son to everyone she met."

Wanfang should be Niu Lili's real name.

"After this incident, their relationship became tense. Wanfang always hoped that he could be gentler and show weakness. She believed that the bastard's stubbornness and unwillingness to compromise were the root causes of all the trouble he encountered."

"So, Qu Anran developed a second personality," Zhang Chunliang concluded, "a well-behaved and docile Qu Anran that his mother expected to appear."

"That may be the case." Qu Haiyu lightly skipped over the topic, "Let's talk about you again. You were a kitten at that time. One day, you suddenly jumped onto my windowsill, spoke human language, begged me to save Qu Anran, and then disappeared."

Zhang Chunliang was stunned for a moment. Kitten? He subconsciously reached for his 朏朏 badge.

He suddenly understood something - he should be in a reverse timeline. In the future, he successfully escaped from the terrifying world of Qu Anran's parents and returned to the time when Qu Anran was bullied in junior high school. For some reason, he used the power of the tattoo and turned into a cat.

Later, in order to rescue the bullied Qu Anran, he found his father... For some reason, he eventually facilitated Qu Anran's parents to build this horrible world, and created wolf-headed people and rabbit-headed people for them... and even the rule that scores are supreme in the entire school.

"Absurdity, paradox, everything is chaos..." Zhang Chunliang's face was full of shock and confusion. What point in time was he at?

As far as he knew, this copy had existed for a long time, and he didn't even know which batch of players had entered.

If the rules of this copy were established by Zhang Chunliang, it means that the time when he returned to the real world was long before the creation of this copy.

And Zhang Chunliang, who made the rules, must have escaped from here, but Zhang Chunliang at that time had already known the school rules here...Is the person who Qu Haiyu said helped him "make the rules" really Zhang Chunliang, and which Zhang Chunliang was it?

He was going crazy. He was trapped in an absurd time paradox. He couldn't find where he came from or where he was going, and he could hardly recognize his own identity.

Qu Haiyu laughed again.

"People are like this. They often get into painful entanglements and self-justifications because of insignificant things." Qu Haiyu helped him open the mineral water. "Why bother so much? Damn it. You are you. Knowing this is enough. I'm still waiting for you to save my stupid son. Don't burn your brain out here."

"Why do you ask me to save your son...it should be me, asking you to let us go." Zhang Chunliang took a sip of water and his mind finally became a little clearer. The purpose of his trip was to negotiate with the rule makers, or in other words, to use the existence of "Qu Anran" to threaten Qu Haiyu to let him go and not let that group of wolfhounds chase him and bite him.

“No, no, no, I’m begging you.” Qu Haiyu shook his head gently, “Don’t worry about the guys killed by those wolf cubs. Although their death was ugly, they will be resurrected in two months.”

"But 'we' will not be resurrected." Zhang Chunliang emphasized. He knew what Qu Haiyu meant. If the players did not pass the level successfully, everything in this world would be rebuilt from scratch after 60 days.

But the players won’t. If they die here, they are really dead.

"You will too." Qu Haiyu continued nonchalantly, "You will just forget your identity and become a member of this place. Have I made myself clear enough?"

Zhang Chunliang was silent for a moment and understood what he meant.

After the player dies, he will be actively absorbed into this world.

This is probably one of the ways for the world consciousness to replenish energy, but for players - this is an extremely terrifying thing.

Because this means that they will be like every unlucky student here, dying tragically countless times, being resurrected countless times, living in fear all day long, but not knowing why they are living.

Zhang Chunliang, the "culprit" who formulated this series of rules, looked at Qu Haiyu without changing his expression: "I don't want to stay here, I want to leave, what do I need to exchange?"

"Convince my son to become a 'rabbit-headed man' and leave here." Qu Haiyu took a sip of tea. "I'm not worried about the little guy who became a wolf cub. He has always been very sensible. What I'm most worried about is the original rabbit cub. He always goes against me and never stays quiet."

"He is not disobedient, he just wants to stay here and live with you." Zhang Chunliang had to clear Qu Anran's name.

"I don't need it, and neither does his mother." Qu Haiyu's tone hardened, and he placed the cup heavily on the coffee table. "Tell him to get out of here. I've had enough."

"Why are you so anxious to let him leave?" Zhang Chunliang immediately noticed his abnormality and asked, "Niu Lili, no, Qu's mother has always been with Qu Anran. I don't think she wants her child to leave."

"Too much nonsense, kid." Qu Haiyu made a gesture to leave. "That's all for today's conversation. Please leave immediately."

"No, you are still hiding something from me. I will not leave until I find the truth." Zhang Chunliang raised his eyebrows, walked to the principal's exclusive office chair, and sat down calmly, "Don't forget, I am the principal."

Qu Haiyu almost laughed out of anger.

The reason why Zhang Chunliang was so fearless was naturally because he already knew that he would successfully escape from this area in the future. Now he would not die no matter how he acted, not to mention that Qu Haiyu still needed his help.

"Xiao Qu?" Zhang Chunliang shouted boldly, "Can you please report your work?"
