Chapter 57: A mess

"No, it's not right."

Seeing his own reflection in the mirror, Hoang Tuan wiped his face with the towel twice.

Then, he opened the bathroom door and walked back to his bedroom.

His mother was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, just like yesterday...

Today, they would have eggs and meat porridge.

The meat porridge in the pot was steaming, and dew gathered on the kitchen window.

"Huh? Hoang Tuan, don't stay locked in your room all day!"

Dinh Phuc looked at Hoang Tuan with an unnatural expression as he returned to his bedroom, unable to help but remind him.

Hoang Tuan completely ignored Dinh Phuc's words.

Without hesitation, he locked the bedroom door.

Inside the bedroom.

He glanced at the axe on the bedside table.

Some extremely vague memories gradually passed through his mind.

Train, soy sauce, train carriage...

Hoang Tuan didn't know why he had these memories.

But he knew he might be having an issue.

It was the subconscious existence deep within him reminding him.

He took a deep breath to relax himself.

"First, I need to tidy up a bit."

"My name is Hoang Tuan, and I have a family that can be considered relatively happy."

"My mother's name is Nguyen Ky Nha, my father's name is Doan Phuc, and my younger sister is Hoang Lan."

"Outside, there's also a cousin named Tran Thien Nga."

Hoang Tuan sat on the bed and began to sort through his jumbled memories.

He looked at the half-closed wardrobe where he had clothes he had worn and washed throughout the year, along with some quilts at home.

"I am a student at Tran Hung Dao High School. Although my grades are not very good, I haven't done anything seriously wrong. The only time a teacher called my parents was when Ho Thanh Doan sent her love letter to her through the teacher."

"Since then, my classmates started to bully me because if I didn't resist, they would become even more aggressive..."

...

Thinking up to here, Hoang Tuan stopped.

He realized something and looked down at his hand, feeling a bit incredulous.

The feeling of being himself...

Shouldn't it be like this?

"Why did I let them bully me?"

Hoang Tuan sank into thought.

He couldn't understand why he was so timid.

In his memory, there seemed to be an incident where his classmates blocked him in the restroom and poured urine on his head, but he still couldn't speak up.

Not only did his classmates mock him, but they also called students from other classes to watch!

"Why..."

Memories in his head became more and more chaotic, and at this moment, Hoang Tuan felt a headache, realizing that there were some important memories he had forgotten, something important that he couldn't overlook.

Strict mother.

Bullied by classmates.

The contempt in the eyes of the girl he liked...

All of this was deeply etched in his mind.

Together with these terrible memories...

He also chopped off someone's head with an axe, smashed the computer room window of the school with all his strength, and watched a scene where a monkey swallowed something whole...

He was already familiar with the belongings in the bedroom.

He had lived here for seventeen years.

He could remember almost everything, even a dried booger stuck to the end of the bed when he was a child, which was still there now.

At this moment...

There was a knock on the bedroom door.

Hoang Tuan held the axe in his hand.

His eyes were fixed on the knocked door.

[Mother will break the lock and come in after ten seconds.]

[At that time, Hoang Tuan will no longer be Hoang Tuan.]

The novel text revealed what would happen next.

"So, the main rule of this world."

"Is to truly become a family with her..."

The countdown began.

He thought about the reasons for these issues.

Why did Dinh Phuc have strange memories at that time, and why were they both asleep at the same time at night?

Perhaps his mother's purpose from the beginning was not to kill them...

Instead, it was to make them conform.

Conform into real characters of the story!

The longer time passed, the more they would conform.

If the current process was not the beginning of the conformation, there were still some important memories in Hoang Tuan's mind that had not been hidden. So when he wanted to pay attention, he might not have enough time to do so.

Ten seconds until the knocking door ended.

Hoang Tuan was ready to revise the script at any time.

However, in the last few seconds...

A change occurred.

"That guy, if you don't eat, you'll starve to death!"

His mother stopped knocking...

She left such a comment in anger and then left.

This caused a significant change in the plot of the novel.

Hoang Tuan, holding the axe, stood still for a while.

The sudden change in the plot.

It made him feel strange...

Clearly, he hadn't done anything, he was just silently waiting to see how the plot would unfold and then make changes to it.

But what had happened to suddenly change the plot?

Perhaps the content of the novel did not fit with reality?

At this moment...

In a daze, Hoang Tuan seemed to hear a woman's voice whispering in his ear.

"Sleep well, my love."

"After waking up, don't think about the rest..."
