Semua Bab Reborn: I Applaud The Deadly AI System: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Looking at Luke Gilbert, our arrogant school heartthrob, the gruesome scene of my past life flashed before my eyes.A gang of escaped convicts had brutally assaulted my brother, Jake Drew, and me right in front of our parents. They left us in a pool of our own blood with our intestines spilling out.Then, as Jake and I screamed in horror, they slowly slit our parents' throats.Before the final flames consumed me, I heard one of them spit, "Serves you right. That's what you get for sticking your nose where it doesn't belong."The bloodlust in the killer's eyes made me shudder.Despair washed over me, and my vision went black.When I snapped out of it, Luke was eyeing me suspiciously. "Justin, since when did a nerd like you learn to keep up with the times? Do you think you're some rich kid and we're too low-class for you? What's your angle?"A classmate immediately chimed in with a smirk, "Oh, he's just desperate. Probably thinks this is his last chance to play the hero in front o

Keyla's mother had passed away when she was young, leaving her with a gambling addict for a father.Almost every semester, her father would try to pull her out of school, wanting to marry her off early just to pocket the wedding money.It was only her straight A's that gave the relatives any leverage to talk her father out of it.The SAT exam was her one and only ticket to escaping him.If her application fell through, she'd be dragged right back home and sold off to clear his gambling debts.They triple-checked to make sure my application data was locked in and completely unalterable before finally letting me go.But the moment I reached the school gates, Luke caught up and grabbed me by the neck."We talked it over, and letting you go home right now is still too risky. So, you're staying at my place for the next ten days. You can go home once the first round of applications officially closes."Without giving me a chance to protest, the group shoved me into the back of Luke's

"Failed to match any college? How is that possible?"Not a single one of these supposedly elite students believed it.Luke threw his arm right back around Edward's neck, looking incredibly smug. "I didn't realize you were such a comedian, Mr. Hopkins. The entire class scored over 1,400 on the SAT. There's no way we failed to match."Besides, I can guarantee that the majors our class picked are the absolute best choices available for our scores."One classmate peeked out from behind Edward. Seeing the news reporters outside, he began excitedly fixing his clothes. "My mom spent a fortune buying me this limited-edition outfit. She said I couldn't look cheap on camera."Another student picked up my poster, stifling a laugh as he held it up. "Mr. Hopkins, the whole class is ready for the interviews. Even Justin, who only applied to community college, brought his own sign."Staring at the crowd of highly-educated fools before him, Edward suppressed his rising fury as he asked, "And wha

Without even waiting for the official media investigation, the students in the room finally snapped and lunged straight at Luke."You said the app was foolproof! Give me my future back!""Luke, you ruined our lives! You have to take responsibility for this!""And you, Keyla! Didn't you brag about helping design the system? This is on you too!"Luke was forced backward step by step, but Keyla suddenly grabbed his arm, a manic desperation flashing in her eyes."We didn't have a choice! Justin hired a bunch of thugs to threaten Luke and me! We were just too terrified of getting hurt, so we gave in and let everyone use the app!"Luke's eyes lit up, taking the cue as he nodded vigorously. "Yes! Justin's been hooking up with street thugs for a long time. We even saw them outside a hotel!"The live stream comment section exploded instantly."Wow, getting taken from behind by street thugs? Such a whore.""He looks so decent. Who knew he was into such wild stuff? Isn't he afraid of cat

Keyla's father reeked of alcohol, and the smile in his eyes carried a chilling edge. "I heard you won't be going to college after all? And you went behind my back to borrow three thousand dollars from loan sharks?""I'll pay it back myself!" Keyla cried out. "I can still go to college. I just need to repeat one more year.""And how much more of my money are you planning to waste? You've always been a financial drain, eating my food and giving nothing back. It's better to marry you off now so I can finally get a return on my investment."Tears streamed down Keyla's face as she begged, "Dad, please, just one year. Just one last year."He landed a slap on her face. "You worthless bitch! How much longer do you expect me to feed you? I've already picked out a husband for you. Toby Murray from the next village. Sure, he's a bit slow, but he offered the biggest engagement gift."With that, he dragged her toward a waiting cab and left.…Many years later, after returning from abroad, I
