Jiang Yumeng was so frightened that her face turned pale. She did not dare move and obediently said, “Brother… Don’t be… Don’t be agitated. I’ll enter, I’ll enter right this moment.”

With that said, Jiang Yumeng hurriedly ran into the room. However, the moment she entered the room, she was pushed to the side of the bed by the senior. After the senior confiscated her cell phone, she said coldly, “We are doing this for the future of humanity. You might not understand many things that we are doing now. It’s the same when I first came here. But now I understand; we have to do this. Don’t worry, we will not keep you locked up all the time. When you really understand everything, you can decide whether you want to stay or not.”

“I can still leave?” Jiang Yumeng asked in surprise.

Senior Li Qing said, “Of course, we are not terrorists, nor are we kidnappers. Why would we detain you? You will only be eating here; you don’t even have to give us money.”

Although Li Qing said that, Jiang Yumeng still felt flustered. She only wanted to go home, but since she could not leave now, she could only nod obediently.

At this moment, a small head popped in and asked, “Gals, where is the bathroom?”

When Li Qing and Jiang Yumeng heard this voice, they were stunned. There was someone else?

When she turned around, she saw a small child at the door, smiling as he looked at them.

The senior brother holding the knife was also stunned. There was no one in the corridor just now. Where did this kid come from?

He looked down and found him a little familiar. Only then did he remember that he was also a new student. He frowned and said, “Where’s your guide?”

Red Boy looked up and said, “I don’t know. He probably fell asleep. Senior Brother, do you know where the bathroom is?”

The senior brother said, “Just walk to the end of the corridor. You should return to your guide now.”

Red Boy continued asking adorably, “What if I don’t?”

“Don’t?” The senior brother sneered and flicked his wrist. “It looks like I’m going to teach you a good lesson!”

Red Boy clapped. “Alright, alright. I haven’t heard of it before.”

The senior brother nodded and said, “Li Qing, tell them. Let’s spare the rookies from running around because they don’t know the rules. It will be troublesome if they cause trouble.”

Li Qing nodded and said, “Alright, come in. I’ll tell you.”

The senior brother pushed Red Boy as Red Boy entered the female dormitory.

The senior brother turned and left.

Jiang Yumeng finally saw a newcomer like her. Immediately, she felt a sense of familiarity as she pulled Red Boy to sit on her bed, wanting to chat with him.

Li Qing cleared her throat and said, “Now, let’s talk about the school’s rules which are also the sect rules. Our sect’s name is the Future Sect, meaning the control of the future. Our sect master is also Master Hairwood, and our god is the Pleiadians.”

Jiang Yumeng said, “We are actually a sect? But…”

Li Qing said, “No buts. Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards. If we don’t have an organization, we would be too scattered. That’s why Master Hairwood organized this sect. It’s still the same as before. By joining the sect, there’s nothing we require you to do. All you need to do is pray every day. In the future, there will be a place for you on the ship.”

Jiang Yumeng fell silent.

Li Qing continued, “Our first rule is that we have to complete all the steps of the prayer every day punctually. The second rule is that if you have nothing to do, you are not allowed to wander around and interact with others. Third, our actions are a secret. Once we announce it to the public, there will be too many people flocking over, and the space on the ship is limited. If you have friends who wish to join, they must be seconded. Fourth…”

Knock! Knock! Knock! “Um, can I come in to listen?” Suddenly, there were knocks on the door.

Li Qing was a little angry. Why were there so many students who didn’t abide by the rules today? Also, were all their guides dead?

Li Qing suppressed her anger and looked at the door. It was none other than Fangzheng.

After confirming that it was a newcomer, Li Qing suppressed her anger and said, “Sit down and listen together.”

Fangzheng smiled and sat beside Red Boy.

Li Qing said, “Let’s continue. In short, by entering the Future Sect, you are one of the Future Sect. In the future, you will be leaving Earth, so in order to reduce your pain in the future, Master Hairwood will help you grow. All the members of the sect have to sever relationships with non-sect members be they their friends or relatives.

“That’s because they will die, and you will survive. Your future is tied with the Future Sect and not with them. So, you must learn to integrate into the Future Sect. If you can’t, when the spaceship takes off, you can only stay on Earth and watch in despair as you await death.”

Fangzheng immediately raised his hand. “Does that mean I can call my relatives over?”

Li Qing said, “Of course, if you don’t want to be separated from them, you can get them to join the sect and undergo training. Once you master the complete prayer, you can go home and enjoy the rest of your lives and wait for the arrival of the ship.”

Fangzheng and Red Boy did not say a word as they sat there listening.

Li Qing spoke the entire night before Fangzheng and Red Boy returned to their rooms in the middle of the night.

Chen Long complained about Red Boy running around, but after saying a few words, he saw his vision blur. The person in front of him suddenly became clear and his memories became clear. He saw the child smiling at him so familiarly before he subconsciously exclaimed, “Venerable Jingxin!?”

Red Boy chuckled and said, “Amitabha. I thought you became a fool from believing in the sect and failed to recognize me.”

Chen Long scratched his head and said awkwardly, “How is that possible? I’m not a fool. Venerable Jingxin, where’s Abbot Fangzheng? Is he here? How did you find me? If you can, quickly call the police. This is a cult hideout!”

At that moment, the door opened and Fangzheng walked in. He smiled and said, “Amitabha. Patron Chen Long, long time no see.”

When Chen Long saw Fangzheng, he cried out. He lunged over and hugged Fangzheng. Despite being a grown man, he was crying like a child…

Fangzheng patted Chen Long on the shoulder helplessly. “Alright. Patron, we are here to bring you home. There’s no need to be afraid.”

When Chen Long heard this, he calmed down slightly. He sat on the bed and grumbled, “Master, you don’t know how I’ve been living my past few days. It’s worse than death! I’m being made to do some bullsh*t prayers by those nutcases every day. I almost don’t do anything a day. All I can do is pray continuously and recite those son-of-a-bitch essays!”

Red Boy chuckled. “Patron, I’m very curious. In such an environment, how did you survive for so long without being assimilated?”
