Yongye Middle School Prologue: Admission Notice My name is Lin Mo. After I failed the college entrance examination, I received a letter of admission to Yongye Middle School with no signature, no address, and only gold-plated fonts. The notice was as thin as a piece of paper, and the ink handwriting glowed with a cold light. There was no signature from the principal at the end, only a line of crooked small words written in red ink: Only by obeying the rules can you graduate. Everyone in my family felt that the origin of this school was unknown, but I was desperate. Looking at the words "undergraduate admission included, no tuition fees" on the notice, I packed my bags and set foot on the road to Yongye Middle School. The car drove to the foot of the mountain. The driver refused to go any further. He pointed at a winding mountain road shrouded in thick fog and said in a trembling voice, "Young man, Yongye Middle School is just ahead. I advise you... It's best not to go." I thanked him and walked into the fog alone. The fog was freezing cold and the visibility was less than three meters. After walking for an unknown amount of time, a gloomy black teaching building appeared in front of me. The school gate was rusty, and there was a wooden sign with peeling paint on it, which read the four characters of Yongye Middle School. The fonts were oozing, as if they had been soaked in blood. Standing at the school gate was a girl in a gray uniform, with a pale face and empty eyes. She handed me a black-covered booklet, turned around and disappeared into the thick fog without saying a word. I opened the booklet, and on the first page, printed in scarlet font, were the survival rules for Yongye Middle School students.
