Reborn as a Scummy Alpha, I Became Every Heroine's Obsession - Chapter 46

[System: Host… I’ve been blocked by the game system. I can’t communicate with you for now… Please remember, surviving a disaster means blessings are ahead. Walk through death to find life…]

For the first time in a long while, the system’s voice echoed weakly inside Gu Qiqi’s mind. It was broken, glitching, almost like a scratched disc, distorted and unclear.

What was going on?

Who was controlling her fate?

When Gu Qiqi was taken into the interrogation room, all her electronic devices were confiscated. Even the terminal chip embedded in her wrist had been removed.

She had no way to contact the outside world.

This interrogation room belonged to the detention center affiliated with Military Academy 330. It had the highest-grade security systems.

Once inside, no one could leave, no matter how powerful they were. And trying to break someone out from the outside was a fool’s dream.

Just then, the surveillance camera in the upper right corner of the room began to move strangely.

It turned three times to the left, then three times to the right, as if it were scanning every corner of the room.

It made faint clicking noises with each rotation.

Gu Qiqi slowly looked up and met the camera’s lens.

Surprisingly, the camera seemed to nod in response.

Human and machine stared at each other in eerie silence. There was something deeply unsettling about the moment.

This camera…

Before Gu Qiqi could think further, the door handle rattled again.

She felt a sudden wave of disgust.

But this time, she had no hope left.

And rightly so.

Because the man who walked in was the one person she didn’t want to see—the sleazy, smug, and predatory headmaster, with his face full of malice and greed.

People in high positions could mask their depravity with appearances, and so outwardly, he still looked polished and respected.

He looked her over with satisfaction, clearly pleased by her exhausted and helpless state.

“Little chick, how could you possibly fight me? If you had just obeyed from the beginning, you wouldn’t be here like this. So, have you thought it over?”

Gu Qiqi raised her head and glared at him with cold, fierce eyes.

“In the interstellar society, even in the border regions, everyone knows that an Alpha falling for another Alpha is twisted.”

“You are the headmaster of Central City’s Military Academy 330, yet behind closed doors, you’ve preyed on countless Alphas from the border.”

The headmaster burst out laughing.

“You know what I like most about you? That stubbornness. Even when you’re drowning in the mud, you still act proud, still resist. You remind me so much of him.”

“There’s no Omega in Central City who compares to him. Even though he differentiated as an Omega, he had the spirit of an Alpha.”

“You should feel honored to resemble him, even a little. Coming to my side is the best chance someone like you from the border region could ever dream of. Look at Zhao Zhongtian. He compromised in the end. Holding onto that insane little brother of his is useless. At first, I thought he was some rare delicacy. Turns out he’s just a crazy fool. But that’s fine. I’ve never had a crazy one before. It’ll be an exciting new experience.”

His words made Gu Qiqi sick to her core.

She had never wanted someone gone as badly as she did now.

“Yes, keep looking at me with that expression. It only makes me want you more. Truthfully, hurting your classmates could be considered serious or trivial. It all depends on how you handle it. If you just do what I say, I’ll make sure you live comfortably here in Central City. Everything Zhao Zhongtian has, you can have too. You’ll do even better than him.”

Gu Qiqi’s anger burned steadily. Her psychic energy began to stir.

But the interrogation room was built for this exact situation. Her restraints were designed to release electric currents at any sign of Alpha resistance.

The electricity surged through her body, amplified by the shackles around her wrists and ankles. Even trying to stand made her collapse, her knees buckling beneath her.

Suddenly, the white overhead lights flared brightly. The blinding glare made it nearly impossible for her to open her eyes.

The headmaster’s voice echoed again.

“Even the hardest bones can be broken. I’ll see how long you last.”

He had already achieved his goal. He wanted to expose Gu Qiqi’s darkest moments to all of Central City. That way, even if he tortured her into something unrecognizable, no one would believe a word she said.

Many powerful people in Central City wanted Gu Qiqi dead. He refused to let them get their way so easily.

Such a rare beauty shouldn’t die just yet.

He wanted Gong Sui to see just how closely this little monster resembled him.

With a satisfied smile, the headmaster left the room.

The interrogation room looked plain and ordinary, like a small holding cell, but beneath every inch of its steel surface lay hidden electronic systems.

Gu Qiqi’s psychic power was locked down. At this point, she was no different from an ordinary Beta.

Suddenly, one of the steel panels behind her flipped open, revealing a long mechanical arm.

Electric sparks danced at the tip.

Gu Qiqi sensed the danger with instinctive clarity. She tried to move, but her reaction was too slow.

The arm struck her lower back.

She doubled over and coughed up blood.

But she didn’t give up.

Her life had always meant little. But if she gave up on herself now, she would never climb out of the abyss again.

She forced herself to her feet.

She was dressed in a loose white uniform. Her bare feet rested on the cold metal floor. Her body was covered in tiny cuts and wounds.

All part of the headmaster’s plan to dull her pain and break her spirit.

But then, something unexpected happened.

The transparent glass wall in front of her changed. Lines of code flickered across its surface. The light grew harsher.

The glass transformed into an interstellar live broadcast screen.

Her image was being projected across every screen capable of receiving transmissions throughout Central City.

Gu Qiqi refused to give in.

She stared at her shackles and began pulling against them with all her strength.

Every device in the room was connected to the main control system.

It monitored her every movement.

Each time she resisted, the mechanical arm launched another electrical strike.

She stood her ground.

She endured each shock as it came, one after another.

The crackling of electricity filled the room, loud and piercing, damaging her eardrums.

The blinding lights continued to burn into her eyes.

Her vision blurred. Her senses dulled. It was as if her body was detaching itself from pain, trying to protect what was left of her will.

Gu Qiqi furrowed her brows, gritted her teeth, and gave everything she had.

It felt like she was fighting the entire game system itself.

Her face was filled with defiance.

She wanted to take back her life.

With each pull against the metal restraints, she poured out all her resentment and refusal to submit.

But everything she did was being broadcast in real time.

Her image was projected across the giant screens in Central City’s main square.

Shoppers and passersby all stopped to watch.

They saw her distorted expression. They saw her desperate struggle.

To the people of Central City, there was nothing worse than Alphas from the border region.

They believed those Alphas were dangerous, wild, and flawed by birth. They saw them as ticking time bombs.

They loved nothing more than seeing one of them brought down.

“Look at that. That’s an Alpha from the border region. The laws of Central City should keep people like her out forever. They’re dangerous. Today she hurts someone, tomorrow she might kill someone.”

“Exactly. I don’t know what the Federation President is thinking. Letting an Alpha like her enter a bonding period with Central City Omegas?”

“This electric current is too weak. For an Alpha, it’s no different from a tickle. Can Central City stop protecting Alphas like this?”

“Why haven’t they just executed her? We Omegas are the center of interstellar society.”

They watched the broadcast like it was a poorly acted movie, casually observing Gu Qiqi suffer inside the interrogation room.

No one tried to understand her pain. Some even laughed at her twisted expression, calling it ugly and repulsive.

The mechanical arm’s electric shocks became stronger and louder. The crackling of electricity startled some viewers, who quickly frowned in disgust and walked away.

According to the Federation’s laws, Gu Qiqi’s punishment for injuring classmates should have been expulsion from Central City and permanent banishment to the border region.

But the twisted headmaster had altered the outcome in secret. He wanted everyone to see Gu Qiqi at her most terrifying. He intended to carry out personal punishment under the guise of justice by destroying her glands. Her Alpha strength would remain, but her S-class pheromones would be erased.

He wanted to completely break her and turn her into nothing more than his possession.

Inside a private VIP room of the military prison at Academy 330, Feng Jiying was also watching the broadcast of Gu Qiqi’s electrocution.

Xiao Bai’s hands trembled as she poured tea, caught between the suffocating pressure in the room and the horrifying footage on the screen.

The interstellar broadcast was intense and immersive. Every sharp breath Gu Qiqi took, every suppressed groan of pain could be heard clearly.

It was unbearable. Impossible to watch without feeling disturbed.

Feng Jiying sat on a soft leather sofa. Her long, almond-shaped eyes had gone dark and unreadable, so cold that no one dared meet her gaze.

The massive screen showed every painful detail in full scale. The sweat on Gu Qiqi’s face, the tangled hair, and her cracked, colorless lips were all visible.

Blood had begun to seep from the corner of her mouth.

Even so, her wolf-like eyes were filled with defiance, as if telling the world she had done nothing wrong.

Feng Jiying placed her hand on the armrest and clenched her fists tightly. Her grip left deep indentations in the leather.

Xiao Bai finally couldn’t take it anymore.

“President… should we send someone to rescue Miss Gu? The high-voltage system in the military prison isn’t something anyone can endure. Even if Miss Gu’s psychic power is strong, if this keeps up, she… she won’t survive.”

The voltage was intensifying rapidly. Xiao Bai could tell that Gu Qiqi was almost at her limit.

Even a powerful Alpha would lose the ability to heal without the support of psychic energy.

At this point, Gu Qiqi was only slightly stronger than an average Beta.

Feng Jiying’s grip was so tight that her fingernails pierced the leather. Blood seeped through her fingertips, staining the armrest red. Her nails were turning crimson from the pressure.

Xiao Bai gasped in alarm.

“President, your hand… you’re bleeding. Please stop. Stop hurting yourself. And stop letting her suffer like this.”

Feng Jiying’s fingernails had torn, exposing the flesh beneath. Blood flowed uncontrollably, dripping onto the floor.

Her voice was low and strained, almost forced out from her throat.

“Enough. Be quiet.”

They say pain in the fingers feels like a knife to the heart.

A torn nail was said to be one of the most excruciating wounds, but Feng Jiying felt none of it.

Her face, usually graceful and flawless, had turned pale. Her lips were drained of color.

She left her hand resting there. Soon, the leather sofa was soaked with blood.

Xiao Bai’s heart was in pieces. She paced anxiously like an ant on a hot stove, completely helpless.

What had happened between the president and Miss Gu to make things turn out like this?

The president was always cold on the outside but warm inside. She never said what she truly felt and expected others to understand her without words.

That kind of personality was too easy to misunderstand.

The broadcast continued.

After countless rounds of electric shock, Gu Qiqi finally dropped to her knees. She held herself up with one arm, but still forced her head to rise.

Though her hair had dried out from the constant shocks and her lips were cracked and bleeding, her wolf-like eyes still held fierce defiance.

She gritted her teeth into a twisted smile. Blood leaked through the gaps between her teeth.

The headmaster had no intention of stopping. He wanted to ruin her completely.

Suddenly, five more mechanical arms appeared from the walls of the interrogation room.

Xiao Bai’s hand shook. She dropped the teapot, and the porcelain shattered across the floor. Boiling water splashed everywhere.

“President, this is the Federation’s most extreme punishment. High-voltage discharge at this level will leave no remains. It will kill her instantly!”

Feng Jiying’s eyebrows tightened. Her ears were ringing so loudly she could hardly think.

She stood up, ready to shout at Xiao Bai. But when she opened her mouth, no sound came out.

A blinding flash filled the screen. The sound of Gu Qiqi’s screaming vanished in that instant.

When the light faded, the interrogation room returned to normal. Every trace of blood was gone, burned away by the electricity.

Even the custom alloy handcuffs and shackles had turned to ash.

No one could have survived that kind of high-voltage shock.

Xiao Bai stumbled back in horror.

Feng Jiying’s vision went black. Blood spilled from her mouth.

She collapsed to the floor.
