"The fact that there are people talking to you from inside the walls... that's got me excited!!"

At that moment, Shen Wei wore a twisted smile, like a shark that had smelled blood. He instantly darted to Zhang Ziliang's bed, startling him. Zhang Ziliang wondered if the guy had some kind of serious problem.

"Bro, don't be like that. You're scaring me..."

Zhang Ziliang said weakly.

"We're grown men, what's there to be scared of! Are you disrespecting me or something!..."

Shen Wei put his arm around Zhang Ziliang's neck, acting like a delinquent.

"No, no... I..."

A hint of fear appeared on Zhang Ziliang's face. He waved his hands repeatedly, stammering.

Seeing the fear on Zhang Ziliang's face, Shen Wei grabbed his hand, pretending to be surprised.

"Don't speak, young man! I see that you have extraordinary talent and remarkable bones. You are one in a million, a phoenix among men, and you will surely achieve great things in the future..."

Hearing Shen Wei's words, Zhang Ziliang's face lit up. He tentatively asked, "Really? Big Brother Shen, you're not lying to me, are you!"

"Really, truer than pearls! I'll tell you secretly, your Brother Shen is the 88th generation successor of Yuan Tiangang. I'm proficient in the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, and my calculations are infallible. I know five hundred years into the past and five hundred years into the future..."

Shen Wei started spouting nonsense, leaving Zhang Ziliang half-convinced.

"What's with that suspicious look in your eyes? Don't you believe me? I can swear. I, Shen Wei, swear here and now that if what I just said is false, my brother Yang Chen will be hit by a car and die as soon as he steps out the door. How's that for a tough oath?..."

Standing next to Shen Wei, Yang Chen's face was full of black lines. "I really have to thank you for that, you big..."

"Fair winds and good brotherhood, headwinds and star coins. Yang Chen, you can't be so petty. Don't forget, I saved you once! I swear, it's purely for the sake of the mission!"

Hearing Yang Chen curse so vulgarly, Shen Wei felt a slight loss of face. He quietly pulled Yang Chen aside and said in his ear.

"Then why don't you swear on yourself?..."

Yang Chen said through gritted teeth.

"Because cursing myself is bad luck!..."

Shen Wei said in a serious, low voice.

Yang Chen: "........."

Seeing Shen Wei make such a severe oath, Zhang Ziliang swallowed hard, his face full of shock!

"Little bro, what's the matter? You still don't believe me? I can raise the stakes. If I say even one false word, my brother Yang Chen..."

At this moment, Shen Wei seemed oblivious to Yang Chen's murderous gaze and was about to continue his wild lies. But Zhang Ziliang, looking shocked, stopped him. "No need, no need, Brother Shen, I believe you! Don't say such unlucky things. What if they come true?"

"Holy crap..."

At this point, Yang Chen was so angered by these two guys that he was on the verge of exploding.

"Zhang Ziliang, which dorm do you live in? Let's chat. I'll come visit you at your place someday..."

Shen Wei said shamelessly.

"That, that, I live in Dorm 505. My dorm is a bit strange. There's always someone talking to me from inside the walls every day. I told my roommates, and they all said I was crazy, just like my mom. They even spread the word around the class, so no one in the class likes me..."

Zhang Ziliang's youthful face was full of gloom and desolation, lacking the liveliness and joy of his peers.

Hearing that Zhang Ziliang lived in Dorm 505, Shen Wei and Yang Chen both couldn't help but gasp.

"It's true that you can wear out iron shoes looking for something, only to find it comes easily. We've found the key figure in this horror movie. Now we just need to find the other key figure in the security room, and then we can start deducing a way to escape from here..."

Shen Wei thought secretly in his heart.

"Zhang Ziliang, don't pay attention to those guys. We believe what you're saying is true. From now on, you'll be with us, and no one will dare to bully you. If there really are any fools who don't have eyes, just say my brother Shen Wei's name, and it'll scare the piss out of them..."

Shen Wei: "I'm really shuan q..."

Despite Yang Chen's young age, he was quite skilled at comforting people. After his encouragement, the gloom on Zhang Ziliang's face dissipated a lot.

"That... Brother Shen, you said I would achieve great things in the future. Does that mean I'll become some kind of big shot?"

Zhang Ziliang looked at Shen Wei with a hopeful expression.

Shen Wei smiled awkwardly, then pretended to ask casually, "I need to calculate that carefully. What are your hobbies usually?..."

"I love watching movies..."

Zhang Ziliang said excitedly.

"Then you'll definitely become a famous director who's known far and wide..."

Shen Wei said confidently.

"Really? If I can really become a great director, I'll definitely make the kind of movies that you two love to watch. That... Big Brother Shen, what kind of movies do you like to watch the most?"

Maybe because everyone isolated him and no one talked to Zhang Ziliang, he was very excited to see new friends and kept chattering endlessly.

"Alas, the kind of movies I like to watch are too difficult. You can't make them..."

Shen Wei sighed and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, striking a melancholic pose.

"Tell me about them. Maybe I can make them."

Zhang Ziliang shook Shen Wei's arm, constantly pressing him for details.

"I like to watch time stop, invisible men, and hypnotism, mental control, in places like schools, buses, and courtrooms. The characters should ideally be both men and women. They play games together, matching wits and courage. It would be perfect if there were also some intense action scenes..."

Before Shen Wei could finish speaking, Yang Chen covered his mouth.

"Forgive me for asking, but are those proper movies? Also, don't corrupt the children, okay?"

"Alas, I always feel like something's not quite right! How do you know so much at such a young age? Tell me, did you secretly peek at Chen Feng's phone?..."

Shen Wei looked at Yang Chen with a mischievous smile.

"You're talking nonsense! Wait until we get out of here, and see how my Sister Ji Ziyue will deal with you..."

Yang Chen's face turned red with anger.

"Brother Shen, I've decided! I'll definitely make a movie that you guys love to watch in the future..."

Zhang Ziliang said to the two of them with an excited expression.

"Okay, okay, just don't forget to ask us two to come and see your new movie when the time comes..."

Shen Wei said somewhat perfunctorily.

"Shen Wei, let's try to find a way to sneak out of this school. Maybe leaving this school is also a way out!"

Hearing Yang Chen's words, Shen Wei turned his head to face the excited Zhang Ziliang.

"How can we leave this school quietly? I have something urgent to take care of..."

Zhang Ziliang thought for a while, then said seriously, "Brother Shen, it really won't work. The management here is very strict. It's a boarding school, and you can only leave during the holidays."
