Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 128: Just Turned Eighteen, My Experience of Being Scammed
The bathroom door was gently pushed open, and a figure stepped out.

The girl had changed into a clean bathrobe, but her hair, which should have been wet, was already showing signs of drying.

Wang Zixu looked at her with a puzzled expression, then walked to the bathroom door and peeked inside.

There was a lot of mist, but you could still make out the furnishings inside through the haze.

Everything is normal; no abnormalities were found.

A girl's soft voice sounded from behind:

"What...what are you looking for?"

"Do you need my help?"

Wang Zixu turned around, looked at her frightened face, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"Why did it take you so long to take a shower?"

The girl opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed her words back several times.

In that instant, Wang Zixu suddenly understood.

Why are those sales promoters so happy after receiving their commission?

Is happiness derived from making money?

Perhaps that's one of the reasons.

But more than anything, it's the brief freedom they get after their days off.

Although brief, that period of time belonged entirely to them.

That's the source of their excitement.

Similarly, what's so great about staying in this restroom?
She's been inside for so long, her hair is almost dry, yet she hasn't come out yet. Isn't she enjoying that moment of freedom that belongs only to her inside?

Looking into her pleading eyes, Wang Zixu asked in a low voice:
"What do you want to say?"

The girl lowered her head slightly, her voice barely audible:
"I...I promise I'll listen to you, but...could you please not hit me later?"

Wang Zixu frowned and sighed silently.

He's no longer a complete novice who just entered the park.

He could figure out most of the things and inside stories in the park.

These dog pushers in the park will vent their daily grievances and stress on women in an even more extreme way. Some of them are even more despicable and cruel than Wang Mazi and Fei Maozai...

He recalled what Shanji had said earlier. Judging from his words, this girl in front of him hadn't been harmed by too many people since entering the park, and usually only served Ah Long.

Seeing her like this, I suddenly remembered how Ah Long treated the girl in that young couple when we first entered the park.

He could imagine that even if she only had to serve Ah Long, her life would definitely not be easy.

Seeing that Wang Zixu remained silent, the girl assumed he was angry and immediately explained in a flustered manner:

“Brother Long… Brother Long beats me every day. Today is the first time I’ve left that office since I came to the park…”

"My injuries haven't healed yet, and I really don't want to get beaten up today. I... I'm sure I can make you feel comfortable."

"If... if you have any complaints, please tell me directly and I will fix it immediately."

Wang Zixu's eyelids twitched suddenly.

What... what is she saying?!
He looked at the leather collar around the girl's neck, then at the faint bruises visible beneath her robe, and couldn't help but sigh again.

This completely terrified the girl. She instinctively knelt on the ground with a "plop," looking pitifully at Wang Zixu, her hands clasped together, pleading:

"Don't be angry, please don't be angry... You can hit me anywhere on my body."

"I just beg you... could you be a little gentler?"

"And... I know a lot more, I promise I can satisfy you..."

[Damn! This girl is so pitiful! She gets beaten up every day? Ah Long is a beast!]

This little girl doesn't look very old, what could she have gone through?

These scumbags deserve to die! They deserve to go to the deepest levels of hell!

[Hey bro! Can you teach Ah Long to be a normal person?! I'll send you gifts!]

[It's unlikely that Piao Di could do that. He's barely able to protect himself right now, unless he takes a weapon and goes to Ah Long to self-destruct, but that's pointless. Even without Ah Long, things like that will still happen in the park, unless the park is blown up.]

Wang Zixu felt a sudden pang of heartache for no apparent reason.

He calmed himself down and went over to help the girl up from the floor.

"Stop kneeling, get up."

The girl's body was still trembling slightly. She stood up, then carefully and obediently sat on Wang Zixu's lap, tentatively wrapping one arm around his waist. Her eyes held a hint of shyness as she whispered:

"I listen to you."

The moment the girl sat in his lap, Wang Zixu felt himself turn to stone.

My entire body became incredibly stiff.

This was the first time a woman had ever taken the initiative to sit on his lap.

Perhaps because it was a game and its setting, he didn't have any inappropriate thoughts. He just felt an indescribable awkwardness and heaviness.

Oh... forget it.

Wang Zixu let her have her way.

Trying to make your voice sound gentle, you asked in a low voice:

"What's your name?"

"How old is this year?"

"You are from?"

Today is still a long day, and since we're just sitting here anyway, we might as well chat to relieve her boredom and ease her tension.

She stayed in Ah Long's office; who knows, she might be able to get some useful information out of him.

The girl was taken aback, seemingly not expecting him to ask such questions.

Because nobody cares about those issues.

Her eyes instantly reddened, and after a moment she spoke with a thick nasal tone:

"My name is Jiang Yuqi."

"Yan Kingdom, Jiangcheng native."

"Just turned eighteen."

Wang Zixu was startled and instinctively flinched back.

Minors!?

That's even more dangerous to mess with!
He doubted he had misheard and asked again:

"How big?"

Jiang Yuqi was confused by his overreaction, but still replied truthfully:
"Eighteen, already passed her birthday."

Wang Zixu couldn't understand why a girl of this age, who should be carefree on campus, would end up in a place like this.

Jiang Yuqi seemed to notice the confusion in Wang Zixu's eyes and took the initiative to speak:

"I was tricked into coming here."

“My family wasn’t well-off, and I wasn’t good at studying, so I dropped out of school early to work.”

“I had just resigned around that time, and a friend sent me a job posting. It said they were recruiting internet celebrities and models, with a base salary plus commission, and room and board included.”

"I even went to check the company's qualifications and went to their company for two on-site interviews. I was eventually hired, but I was also scammed."

"After I went abroad, they took away my phone, ID card, and money, and forced me to take a lot of photos..."

"I was completely confused myself... Several of my best friends were also tricked into coming here with me."

“We were initially sold to Miaowadi, and then somehow we were brought to this park.”

Jiang Yuqi's voice was trembling with tears.

Although she spoke simply and casually.

But from those few words, Wang Zixu could imagine the hardship and despair that had been endured.

He came here that way too.

Jiang Yuqi is not ugly; she has a rather delicate and pretty appearance.

After arriving here, I don't know how many scumbags have ravaged me, which has shaped me into the tense, timid, and cautious person I am now.

Through Jiang Yuqi's intermittent narration, Wang Zixu gained a general understanding of her experience of being scammed.

If a woman is tricked into going to the park, she can avoid being beaten as long as she doesn't resist and obediently follows orders.

But if you dare to resist, your treatment will take a sharp turn for the worse.

For example, the girl in that young couple was assaulted by countless men on her second day.

Jiang Yuqi used to have quite a fiery temper.

In her own words, she's a "little firecracker" who explodes at the slightest provocation.

Otherwise, if she hadn't been out in the world at such a young age, she would have been bullied to death long ago if she hadn't had some backbone.

It was precisely because of her fiery temper that she suffered a lot when she was first tricked into coming here.

Later, she was sent to the 404 Industrial Park, where she was spotted by Ah Long as soon as she entered the park.

It was that period of hardship that completely wore away the last bit of temper she had left.

I live each day in a daze, neither human nor ghost.

It's not even as good as the black dog kept in a cage next to the pavilion in the park.

As Wang Zixu listened to Jiang Yuqi recount her experiences, he felt a mix of emotions, occasionally responding to show that he was listening.

Finally, after a long silence, Wang Zixu asked:
Do you hate the person who introduced you to the job?
