Chapter 45: Alien Abduction Plan, Ghost Train

After getting off the school bus, Ke Mingqing headed straight for his classroom. He shoved his backpack into his desk drawer, pulled up a chair, and sat down.

With the holidays approaching and final exams right around the corner, the atmosphere in the classroom was oppressively tense.

Ke Mingqing, however, was clearly the most absent-minded student in the room. Propping his chin in one hand, he twirled a ballpoint pen with the other.

Staring at the spinning pen tip, he casually thought, "What if I take an alternative route and find a chance to negotiate with Mom alone? If the alien is willing to protect me, I'll be in an unbeatable position within this family's ecosystem. No matter what the Crow People, my second sister, or my eldest brother try to do to me, I'll have a high probability of surviving."
