The Other Side of Karuizawa Kei

Just now, while in the shop, the system had popped up a mission notification; otherwise, he wouldn't have followed Karuizawa Kei.

Since the system had issued a mission, he had no choice but to deal with it.

Karuizawa Kei was someone who only appeared strong on the surface but was fragile inside, making her easy to control, which was why Xia Mu had revealed himself directly.

Because if he didn't show himself now, after returning from the deserted island, Karuizawa Kei would suffer an incident that would make her psychological issues even more severe, and by then, the difficulty of the Correction would likely increase significantly.

"It's not convenient to talk here, follow me."

Xia Mu shoved his hands into his pockets and turned around, "You can also choose not to follow, but you know the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Karuizawa Kei's body trembled and she clenched her fists tightly, but in the end, she packed her things and obediently followed behind Xia Mu.

Regardless of what his goal was, she knew that the fact he held her secret was already set in stone.

No matter what, she could not afford to provoke him again.

She followed far behind Xia Mu until they reached his dormitory.

"Close the door."

Xia Mu stood before the window and said to Karuizawa Kei behind him, "You wouldn't want our upcoming conversation to be overheard by others, would you?"

Hearing this, Karuizawa Kei gritted her teeth, turned around, and closed the door.

She already had a rough idea of what Xia Mu wanted to do; it was nothing more than wanting to take her body.

Taking a deep breath, she stood where she was, her steps hesitant, not knowing whether to move forward or retreat.

"Come here." Xia Mu sat on the bed and spoke to Karuizawa Kei.

At this moment, there was no room left for Karuizawa Kei to resist.

She lowered her head and walked obediently to Xia Mu's side.

This familiar feeling made her tremble all over with fear.

Right, in the past, she had also been called into empty corners like this by others, and in the end, all she suffered was a brutal beating.

But her body was still pure...

Perhaps she wouldn't be able to keep it today.

Seeing Xia Mu's hand reaching out toward her, Karuizawa Kei closed her eyes, a sense of resistance rising in her heart.

But she knew she was absolutely no match for Xia Mu.

Even if she were foolish, she still had a rough idea of Xia Mu's superior athletic ability.

The clothes over her abdomen were slowly lifted by Xia Mu, revealing her fair skin.

She only hoped that after he was done and had satisfied his desires, he would let her go.

That was what Karuizawa Kei was thinking.

"Aren't you going to resist?" Xia Mu asked Karuizawa Kei while taking out his phone.

"Do you think I haven't tried!?" Karuizawa Kei gritted her teeth.

"Click."

The sound of a photo being taken rang out; Xia Mu was using his phone to aim at the scar on her stomach.

That was left behind by the bullying she had endured in the past; she had reported it to the police at the time.

But all she got in return was the other party being detained for a few days and given a lecture.

Once they got out, they bullied her even more viciously, which had led to the severe psychological issues she had now.

After Xia Mu finished gathering the evidence and confirmed that Karuizawa Kei would not resist, he took the packaged ramen from her hands.

Karuizawa Kei didn't know what Xia Mu wanted to do, so she could only watch helplessly as he opened her ramen packaging and picked up the chopsticks to slurp a mouthful.

This made her so angry that she gnashed her teeth.

It was one thing to bully her, but he was even eating her noodles.

After swallowing, Xia Mu slowly raised his head to look at the resentful Karuizawa Kei, "Don't look at me like that; I called you here to help you."

"Help me?"

Upon hearing this, Karuizawa Kei immediately scoffed, "Does it look like you're helping me right now?"

"If you really wanted to help me, you should protect me and help me eliminate everyone who bullies me."

"In that case, even if I had to give my body to you, it wouldn't matter."

She was truly terrified of returning to those days, so she was willing to give up everything she had in exchange for stability.

"The life of a parasite isn't easy, is it?" Xia Mu said while eating the ramen, his words implying something deeper.

"Thump." As soon as these words were spoken, Karuizawa Kei was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, her eyes trembling wildly, "H-how do you know about that?"

"Tsk."

Xia Mu clicked his tongue, feeling a bit of a headache, and waved his hand, "You can go. I'll contact you when I need you."

Karuizawa Kei was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Xia Mu would actually let her go just like that.

If a normal man had grabbed hold of this leverage, he would surely be dying to ravage her relentlessly.

Perhaps, it was because he felt she was dirty...

Karuizawa Kei didn't say anything more; she simply pulled the door handle and walked out slowly.

After she left, Xia Mu pondered how he should go about her correction.

Simply helping her would only make her form a sense of dependency on him, and the root cause would remain unchanged.

Therefore, he had to change her from within first.

He needed to give her the courage to resist and gradually step out of the shadow of bullying; that was the only way.

Come to think of it, was the system asking him to act as a Correction Envoy?

Xia Mu shook his head, devised a plan, and decided to contact Karuizawa Kei again tomorrow.

As night fell, the sea shimmered with bioluminescence, the rippling waves looking truly beautiful.

Xia Mu walked through the student dormitories, confirming which classes were residing in which locations.

Afterward, he walked through the ship to determine its general layout and structure.

When he returned to the deck to catch some breeze, he saw Kikyo Kushida.

She stood by the railing, facing the sea breeze, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

This woman had an extremely sharp sixth sense; almost the moment Xia Mu arrived behind her, she had already turned around.

"Student Xia Mu, long time no see."

She offered a sweet smile; if Xia Mu hadn't seen her other side several times, he would have truly believed she was a normal woman.

Facing the feigning Kikyo Kushida, Xia Mu didn't say anything and simply brushed past her.

"Xia Mu."

At this moment, Kikyo's cold voice rang out from behind him, "I already gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

"Next, prepare to welcome my frantic revenge!"

However, Xia Mu paid her no mind, his figure already disappearing into the darkness.

She bit her red lips, breaking the skin and letting thin trickles of blood seep out.

Back in his dormitory.

Xia Mu didn't take Kikyo's threat to heart.

This woman didn't have much capability; all she had were some petty tricks.

"Since the next destination is a deserted island."

Xia Mu focused his gaze on his newly purchased laptop, his fingers dancing rapidly across the keyboard, clicking and clacking like he was playing the piano.

[Wild Survival Guide and Hunting Techniques]

He searched for this book and began to read it.

Since he was already here, he couldn't just spend his time so boringly; he had to find something to do.

He spent five Skill Points to master it.

According to the itinerary, they would arrive at that deserted island by noon tomorrow.

At that time, they would need to survive on the island alone for seven days.

It wasn't exactly difficult, but it wasn't exactly simple either.

"Starting to look forward to it."

Xia Mu stared at the off-white ceiling, a glimmer of light flickering in his eyes.
