40 Black Jackets Indoctrination (1/2)
”Your name is Xiao Xing?! Is your brother Xiao Feng”
”Un... Do you know him?”
”Yeah...He's the reason I am here...”
Xin Fan sighed as he took a bite out of the bread. It was extremely gritty almost inedible. While the school's food wasn't that great, it was miles better than what he was eating now.
”I'm so sorry for what he did! Here...take my bread!”
Xiao Xing stared at the bread in her hands and slowly tossed it to Xin Fan. She watched as it arced through the air into Xin Fan's hands as if she had lost a part of herself. Although it tasted bad, Xin Fan still ate it as a sign of acceptance. Xiao Xing watched intently as he swallowed the last piece of bread.
”Do you seriously like the bread?”
”Un. The food here is a lot better than what I had at home. What about you...ummm?”
”Call me Xin Fan.”
”Okay, what about you brother Xin Fan?”
”Well...In the mountains, we were self sufficient and the dorm gives a better food than this at school.”
Xiao Xin looked quite shocked. She couldn't even imagine what normal people ate. Truth be told, despite the horrible conditions, the conditions right now are better than at home, at least for now.
As they were eating, the boss was looking over to check up on Xin Fan.
”I wouldn't eat that if I were you. It won't stay for long.”
”Huh?”
The boss sneered before looking away to mind his own business. Naive kid...Oh well soon he would be a clown. I wonder how long until he breaks.
The sun had set. The countdown has begun. 6 Days left.

”Xin Fan did you test it?”
”Yes... Harvest slash II can cut through the steel bars.”
”Good...Just escape with the girl at the best moment.”

Xin Fan had a rude awakening by the man in the black jacket. He didn't know what was happening before he was dragged out of the cell.
”Whats happening!”
Xin Fan was dragged into a dark room and forced to be strapped to a chair. From just being there, Xin Fan felt sick in the stomach from the nauseating stench that filled the room. The man sat opposite to him with a knife in hand. There was only one small lamp dangling from the ceiling with a dying flame swaying against drafts of wind.
”Hehehe Kid...nice to meet you.”
”Why did you bring me here?”
”Why else...to play.”
Xin Fan did not believe a single word that he said however simply nodded to let the conversation flow. He did not know the name of the other person so he decided to just call him Black Jacket.
”Do you why I am here?”
”You live off money exploiting others. What else needs to be said.”
The man sighed and flicked his wrist cutting a gash at Xin Fan's thighs. Xin Fan's eyes widened at the unexpected attack.
”AHH!”
”First strike. No talking back.”
