After dinner, Mu Rufeng walked out of the dining hall.
Alone, he walked on the somewhat muddy path.
A cold wind blew with a few drops of rain, giving a chilling sensation.
Unbeknownst to him, it had started raining.
Apart from the dim light emitted by the old light bulb hanging from the eaves, the surroundings were pitch black, with only the occasional wailing of the pigs coming from the pigsty.
Back at the dorm, Mu Rufeng took off his worn apron and work clothes.
He pulled out his phone to check the time—just 6:50 pm. Still early.
He had slept all afternoon, and now he was exceptionally alert.
Mu Rufeng glanced at the Deceit Baby in his Contract Slot and noticed the little fellow was still sound asleep.
Counting the days, the Deceit Baby had been asleep for seven or eight days now.
"Forget it, I might as well sleep," he thought. Despite feeling energized, there was a profound boredom.
