Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

"Young man, you don't look like someone who needs to do cleaning work. Why did you end up doing this?"

Bai Weiran chuckled lightly and responded calmly.

"Just because it doesn't look like it doesn't mean it's unnecessary. Actually, we're 'exquisitely poor.' We were ignorant before, spending money recklessly. We didn't have the spending power but insisted on dressing up. We spent too much money and used credit cards to make advance purchases. Now we've woken up and realize how unreliable we were before, but there's nothing we can do. We've taken on debt, and we have to pay it back."

An older man sighed and patted him on the shoulder.

"That's how young people are these days, but it's okay. You've woken up early. Start making money now, and you'll have money eventually. Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young?"

An older woman looked at Qin Ning with curiosity.

"But you brought a woman with you when you went out to work..."

Before the words "girlfriend" could even be uttered, Bai Weiran cut it off abruptly.

"younger sister."

He pulled the reluctant Qin Ning in front of him.

“This is my younger sister. She’s quite shy and doesn’t like to see people, but she’s very considerate. She’s willing to help me pay off my debts. When I told her I wanted to work the night shift as a cleaner, she cried and insisted on coming with me, saying that my problems are her problems and that siblings should share the burden… I can’t do anything about it.”

Qin Ning, wearing a mask, stared at Bai Weiran in shock upon hearing this.

You're so shameless, you're fucking shameless.

Who wants to work the night shift cleaning job? The Qin family's young lady can spend millions in a second—

The elderly men and women at the scene were so moved that they praised the event.

"What a wonderful sister, young man. With such a good sister, you must never make the same mistake again. You should work hard for her sake."

"The little girl has such a kind heart. It's so rare to see such a harmonious family."

"It's good to spend time with your brother, but you should also remind him not to spend money recklessly!"

Qin Ning's hands turned ice-cold with anger.

Wearing a mask and gloves, and completely covered in worker's clothing, she couldn't see anything clearly. She could only glare fiercely at Bai Weiran to express her protest. Due to her good upbringing as a young lady, she really couldn't bring herself to scold Bai Weiran in front of a group of elderly people on the street late at night.

If this were in a room, she would definitely have started arguing!

Bai Weiran, like a kind older brother, gently patted the yellow safety helmet on her head with a smile.

"Everyone, please stop talking. My sister is very shy. Look at how helpless she is. I have already repented and will make sure my sister doesn't have to suffer with me in the future."

Everyone was deeply moved and praised the two for their brotherly and sisterly affection.

Qin Ning wanted to kill Bai Weiran.

Bai Weiran smiled but remained silent.

The leader, a bald middle-aged man, didn't say much. He simply and concisely assigned everyone their assigned areas. Of course, Qin Ning and Bai Weiran were assigned to Area 1.

In this ordinary world, cleaning staff are not well-regarded, so all cleaning work is done at night.

Bai Weiran took on a part-time job with an outsourced urban cleaning team, mainly responsible for the cleaning of parks and public parking lots.

Bai Weiran thought that his reality was the same, but everyone was willing to pretend—even though they saw the sanitation workers working under the scorching sun to maintain the cleanliness of the park or city, they hurried past as if they were ignoring the stones on the roadside.

When will it be seen?

When it's time to thank the city's unsung heroes, suddenly an old man or woman who is thin, dark-skinned, and gaunt will be pulled out for an interview, and they will dryly recite a few lines that are obviously prepared in front of the camera.

Those who watched the video were moved to tears and clapped their hands.

After the video ended, everyone ignored the person working under the scorching sun.

I wonder which is more noble: this hypocritical respect or openly expressed contempt.

Bai Weiran pushed a handcart while humming a song. The handcart was loaded with the necessary tools and large garbage bags.

Qin Ning walked slowly, lagging behind Bai Weiran by four or five steps. She pretended to be dejected, but her eyes were actually darting around, paying attention to the surroundings of the park, trying to figure out where she was. Then she was very disappointed to find that because she had always been driven by a driver, she had no idea where she was.

Should we run?

She pondered.

So far, the masked man has only made her read, recite, forbid her from being picky about food, and made her wear a bunch of hideous clothes.

Although being with him gave me a strange sense of security, it didn't change the fact that he was a kidnapper.

But he has amazing superpowers.

It can fly, can stop moving objects, can control matter, and can appear anytime, anywhere.

Can she escape?

Should we give it a try first?

She spotted a dense grove of trees on her left that could conceal her, quietly took two steps back, and made sure she was more than ten steps away from Bai Weiran. Then she turned and ran—and unfortunately, like a cliché scene from a comedy movie, she crashed into an invisible wall within two steps.

She cried out in pain, covered her nose, and squatted down.

But Bai Weiran suddenly appeared directly in front of her in the direction she was running, and with a snap, accurately captured the moment Qin Ning's face twisted as she crashed into the invisible wall.

He looked at the photo and clicked his tongue twice.

"Even a beautiful young lady can't escape this kind of hilarious scene of severe disfigurement."

It was so funny that I decided to save the photo.

Only then did he step forward to check on Qin Ning, who was squatting motionless.

"what happened?"

The girl's slender back twitched, and she covered her face with her hands.

Is it because she couldn't escape that she cried?

Bai Weiran offered gentle comfort.

"It's not shameful to not be able to escape, after all, I'm not an ordinary person!"

He had anticipated that Qin Ning would try to escape, so he had set up an invisible barrier around her beforehand. Only the path leading to him was accessible; otherwise, if she took a few more steps to the left, right, or behind, she would touch the invisible barrier.

But Qin Ning still refused to raise her head. Bai Weiran began to feel that something was wrong, so he squatted down as well. He saw the girl's hands tightly covering her mask, her tearful, resentful, ashamed, and broken eyes, and suddenly realized what was going on.

He suppressed a laugh, trying his best to remain serious.

"It's okay, let me take a look. Just covering it up like this won't help."

Qin Ning let go of his hand under his coaxing, and sure enough, her mask was stained red.

That hit was too hard; she bumped herself and her nose started bleeding.

Poor, yandere young lady.

Now he's completely lost his dark and ruthless image; he's become a comedian.

Bai Weiran finally couldn't help but chuckle.

Qin Ning was furious when she saw that he was still laughing. She was so angry that she didn't care about the fact that Bai Weiran was a kidnapper with superpowers. She stopped covering her face and started hitting him hard with her small fists.

"It's all your fault! It's all your fault, you bastard, you kidnapper, you're bullying people!!!"

Her fists rained down, but Bai Weiran, whose physique had been enhanced, only felt like she was being tickled.

He could only hold one soft wrist in each hand, shaking his head with a smile.

"...Okay, okay, it's all my fault."

Chapter Twelve: The Lower Limit Can Always Be Reset

On a park bench late at night, the girl leaned forward slightly, took off her mask, and covered her nose with a blue towel wrapped with ice.

She pouted, turned her face away, and remained silent.

A pudding ice cream was held close to the corner of her eye and waved.

"...Here, don't be angry, here you can have some."

She ignored it, expressing her refusal through her actions.

She didn't eat, and Bai Weiran didn't say anything more. He just shrugged and ate it himself.

These were stocked up from Jingxi Supermarket during the 618 shopping festival.

I just dug these out of the freezer when I went back to get ice and towels.

But is this the batch that was stockpiled last year or the year before?

Bai Weiran thought about the question for a second, then put it out of his mind.

A thrifty person believes that frozen food won't spoil.

"If you're short of money, I can give you plenty. You don't need to do this!" Qin Ning said arrogantly, holding a towel wrapped with ice, but her words carried a hint of pleading.

No matter how much credit card debt Bai Weiran owes, it's insignificant in front of her.

Bai Weiran glanced at her and smiled.

That soft-spoken girl really does say tough things.

"You're overthinking it. I don't owe any money, and I'll say it again, your money is useless to me."

If he were useful, he would have been bribed long ago.

In an effort to find his missing daughter, the head of the Qin Group has been raising the reward money ever higher, making it increasingly frightening.

The wages given by the system are nowhere near as good as the reward money.

"Then why are you working so late at night?! And why do you have to drag me along?!" Qin Ning ripped off the towel. The bleeding had stopped, but her nose was slightly red from the ice. Her face and eyes had a slightly arrogant and charming look, but her expression was pitiful.

"This is a new course."

"...?" The course is cleaning? Are you kidding her?

"It is better to have no books than to believe everything in them."

Qin Ning is very clever and quick to understand the book. Now, when we discuss it, she can even cite a wide range of sources to refute him and apply the knowledge to her daily life.

But I understand now.

"If you see too much more than you have actually experienced, you will develop cognitive biases and be unable to put knowledge into practice." There are no academic high-achievers who have read a lot of books or know a lot of principles, but sophisticated and self-serving academic high-achievers still emerge one after another.

"What you need now is real-world experience, to see different things."
