I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 69 Collapse and Reconstruction

The conflict between superpowers and prosthetic bodies often makes the owner freeze, and the longer time goes by, the greater the conflict between the two.

But for Paradise City, it is always unrealistic to be a pure veto or a weakling.

Steinway is an implantable prosthetic equipment developed by [Academy]. This model can be said to minimize the conflict between superpowers and prosthetics. It has also become a prosthetic body pursued by many people in Paradise City.

However, Steinway is often only eligible for implantation by internal members of the [Academy], and rarely flows into the market.

Implanting the latest Steinway Type III in the No. 1 Medical Hall of [Academy] has also become a symbol of glory for [Academy] members.

However, the person who was pushed into the medical office today has become the object of everyone's contempt.

"It's really new. People with Steinway III implants have never heard of them being disassembled."

"She is also number one, right? She is also the dean's student..."

"But the dean is really fair. She only has three students in total... and she didn't choose to cover up."

"It's also interesting. The first two students' families have quite a lot of backgrounds, and they are all directly related to the [college]... Is she the orphan who was picked up?"

"Didn't you bring it upon yourself? Lu Youde had just been promoted to professor. This was originally to compensate for the loss of his only son. But Lu Xin came back and made a contribution... Tsk, if it weren't for Qiong Ying, Lu Xin might not have been a blessing in disguise. .”

"I heard that there was another reason for the dean's decisive order this time. Qiong Ying didn't even tell her the true situation on the airship..."

"You deserve it, you white-eyed wolf. I used to be so arrogant because my teacher was the dean."

The students were whispering, and finally, one boy suppressed his blush and couldn't help but whisper: "Senior Sister Qiongying has never bullied any of you before, right? If you ask her for advice, she won't keep it secret... …”

Immediately, many bad looks were cast towards him, and the boy subconsciously took a few steps back.

"You know nothing." A senior student pushed the latter unceremoniously with a fierce look.

Although, it is true.

If all that hadn't happened, Qiong Ying would still be the respected senior sister in the [college].

However, there will be an extra Steinway III soon...
-
  In the medical hall, Qiong Ying was lying on the operating table with her eyes blank.

The movement caused by the laser scalpel caused her body to twitch slightly, and the insufficient anesthetic could not stop the pain.

"From now on, Qiong Ying will deprive him of his qualification as a recommended student, his Steinway Type III, and will not allow him to enter the core area of ​​the [college]."

"He is ordered to enter the No. 3 processing department and cannot leave without permission."

Processing Department No. 3, [College] is a factory built on the outskirts of the city. Due to the special nature of the work, toxins will accumulate in the bodies of people who work there all year round, eventually leading to severe immune system diseases.

Generally, only the precarious poor people would go there to make a living.

There are very few [college] insiders who are punished for entering there.

The teacher's cold face when he announced the punishment kept coming to his mind, and the operating table was wet with tears.

The stinging pain from flesh and bone reminded her that the Steinway III was being pulled out of her spine.

Consciousness finally fell into a blur.
-
  "It's the teacher who is sorry for you, but the overall situation of the [college] does not allow it... Oh, Qiong Ying, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you hide it in the first place."

"You have to work hard for a while. I have prepared a place for you in the suburbs. When the time comes, I will take you back."

Pushing the pungent-smelling chemical reagent barrel into the pool, Qiong Ying was slightly lost in thought as she looked at the bright bubbles emerging from it.

Teacher...it must be a last resort...

she thought silently.

"Hey, new guy! Why the hell are you in a daze!" A roar came from the distance.

The middle-aged man whose lower body was entirely made of machinery glared angrily. He held a whip in his hand and had already raised it.

"Yes, sorry."

Qiong Ying immediately turned back and continued her work, even though she was still in the rejection period after the spinal implant had just been removed, and she had to endure the continuous pain in her back every day, like being bitten by an insect.

Seeing her going back to work honestly, the supervisor snorted and turned away.

"Bah -" he spat and lit a cigarette, "a bunch of bastards, whoever dares to fucking be lazy, don't blame me for being rude!"     Qiong Ying's body stiffened for a moment, and then continued to work.

She still remembers the other party...

Two years ago, when she was registering new students, the overseer came to campus with his daughter.

He smiled to himself ingratiatingly, his face twitching as he paid his tuition.

After Qiong Ying comforted the nervous girl, the father pulled his daughter aside.

"Remember to thank that senior sister later. Good girl, study hard and tell dad when you are short of money - hehe, dad saved some private money without telling mom."

He must have worked hard for his family and his daughter, right? That's what Qiong Ying thought at the time.

However, she found that she was still too naive.

After working here for three days, Qiong Ying realized that most people in Paradise City were not qualified to enter the [Academy].

In the worst processing department No. 10, your hourly wage will not reach credits until you have worked for hours.

As for the lowest level day student in [College], the tuition fee for one year is 200,000 credits.

She didn't resent the two faces of the overseer, but...

Something is slowly falling apart.

After a busy day, Qiong Ying finally returned home dragging her exhausted and painful body.

It should be home, right?
  Looking at the small house of more than ten square meters, Qiong Ying was silently lost in thought.

The teacher at least arranged a place for her to live...

Suddenly, her abdomen began to churn violently. She rushed out of the room, ran to the nearest wasteland in a panic and vomited.

It is common to have strong vomiting during the rejection period. In order to avoid this situation in the factory, she did not eat for a day, but now she couldn't bear it anymore.

Vomiting all the bitter water and stomach acid, she subconsciously reached for the paper.

Immediately I realized that this was not the [college] dormitory, and it didn’t even have a toilet.

The huge feeling of powerlessness and intense despair surged up like crazy, and the girl's clear tears couldn't stop sliding down, dripping on the bitter and sour ground.

The sky seems to be falling...

Suddenly, a strong fragrance came from the side. Qiong Ying, who had not eaten for a day, was not in the mood to eat, but she subconsciously looked over.

A man was sitting on the low wall nearby.

He looked at himself, holding a drumstick in his hand.

When Qiong Ying's face immediately turned pale, he stuffed the chicken drumstick into his mouth and puffed up his cheeks several times.

"puff."

He spat out the bones and smiled: "Did you miss me?"

Indescribable strong emotions surged up, and Qiong Ying's body shook.

"Now, are you satisfied?" She tried to wipe away her tears, trying to look strong and angry.

Sean shrugged, just took out another chicken leg and ate it, saying vaguely:
  "There is no medicine during the rejection period. If you are soaked in toxins every day and don't eat, you won't be able to last a few days."

"This is all thanks to you -" Qiong Ying wiped away her tears again, "I have no value now, right? Are you still coming to make fun of me?"

Sean jumped off the low wall without caring and spat out the bones. He smiled and leaned closer to look at the angry and desperate face.

Like a magic trick, he took out another one and stuffed it into Qiong Ying's mouth without ceremony.

The girl was about to spit it out, but she heard him say lazily:
  "I asked you to accompany me for dinner that day. Didn't you say that you like chicken legs the most?"
