Ge Xiu was dragged by the half-mature child in front of him and walked forward crookedly with two soft legs.

The filthy and sultry atmosphere shrouded the ground and when you looked around, it was an endless pilling up mountain of rubbish. The invisible rotting waste squelched under their feet and mixed into an unpleasant, disgusting smell.

The voice rang in his ears again:

”Welcome Criminal No. 7098, Ge Xiu, now entering the compulsory punishment reform system. After testing, your sentence is 1156 years, which is equivalent to 1156 points of evil. You will be free after the evil value is completely reduced. Every year in the punishment world evil value can be reduced by a fixed amount. If the punishment level exceeds the threshold the corresponding evil value can be additionally reduced. The specific amount will be manually settled by the review team after the punishment world is over.”

The more miserable he is, the shorter his sentence will be.

It’s fair.

Ge Xiu pondered for a moment and raised the first question: “So, no matter what happens in this world, as long as you spend here a year, you can reduce a little bit of evil, right?”

”Yes.”

”Even if I’m here, but in fact, I am very happy?” The other side was silent for a while.

Ge Xiu blinked innocently, like an unthreatening, clever prisoner: “I’m just making a hypothesis.”

”…The reduction in the basic evil value is linked to the time in the virtual world only.”

That’s good.

Ge Xiu bent his eyes and his expression changed into a smiling face silently. The remains of stars floating in the distance reflected on his irises. His dark pupils were shining in the dim light, almost seeming evil:

”Okay. There are no more questions.”

It seems that the system was disturbed by Ge Xiu’s question. The voice paused for a moment and then continued: “Please serve your sentence criminal 7098. The difficulty of your virtual world will be determined according to the evaluation of the review team. The first punishment world is the initial difficulty. Later, the subsequent difficulty will be adjusted according to the progress of the criminal’s reformation and repentance attitude.”

Its voice is still cold, without the slightest fluctuation, and it is unknown whether it’s a threat or a warning.

As soon as the voice fell, Ge Xiu felt lighter under his feet, there was an attraction above his head that pulled him into the air.

He looked up and saw one of the spheres floating on the top of his head, a white beam of light projected down, enveloping him, leading him to the bottom of the starship.

Ge Xiu put fingers in his tattered pocket and looked around thoughtfully.

Above the trash-filled square, there are 399 other beams of light and below each sphere a person flies into the air.

Ge Xiu raised his eyelids and turned to look at the starship parked in mid-air.

His expression was so focused as if he couldn’t put anything in his eyes except that dark metal soleplate.

A faint smile passed over his closed lips, as if this was exactly what he expected to happen right now.

The rubbish star under his feet was getting farther and farther, people left on the square with thin faces were either lost or jealous and their expressions gradually blurred. The piles of rubbish gradually shrank into colorful hills and the stench like biochemical weapons was also gradually swept away, fresh and clean compressed air was continuously released from the sphere above, almost giving people an illusion of refreshing the body and mind. The starship covered the sky it was like a new sun when it opened the landing cabin. Opened steel mouth seemed to symbolize the hope for a new life and quietly accepted their entry.

For these abandoned people who have never left the garbage star since their birth what happened next seemed like a dream.

The author has something to say:

Those people still don’t know what kind of horror will befall them (pretending to be the ominous narrator)

Bamboo has something to say!
