I nodded indifferently and then returned to my seat. It was now 7:54, and there were only six minutes left until the end of the game. During these six minutes, even I couldn''t turn the tables. It seemed that everything was over.


    One of the two options must be chosen. Abstention is allowed. If the number of votes is the same, both will be executed.


    <ol>


    <li style="text-align: center">Mindy must commit suicide.</li>


    <li style="text-align: center">Kavs must commit suicide.</li>


    </ol>


    And along with the new voting, there were suddenly screams downstairs. There were continuous shouts from students that someone was dead. Then our entire class rushed downstairs. In Warehouse No., Jasmine and Amelia were already dead.


    They didn''t die from the curse. Before this, Jasmine killed Amelia and then committed suicide herself. After all, compared to the punishment of being cut into pieces, their way of dying was relatively better.


    Jasmine''s head hung to one side, and Amelia died even more tragically. It seemed that she was severely beaten by Jasmine before dying. Looking at the tragic scene in front of me, I couldn''t bear to turn my head.


    If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Soon, the police arrived. Along with the forensic examination of the bodies and the continuous surfacing of evidence, the truth behind the deaths of Jasmine and Amelia was quickly revealed.


    That was, Jasmine poisoned her mother and was found out by Amelia. So she decided to silence Amelia. Finally, she committed suicide out of guilt because she couldn''t hide it anymore.


    The deaths of the two ended up being closed with such an absurd and easy matter. But only we knew that the tragedy in the classroom had just begun.


    After returning to the classroom, it was already forty-five minutes later.


    Everyone in the classroom was silent. Scared. From time to time, girls'' cries were heard.


    "Everyone, be quiet," Sophia stepped onto the podium. Now she was the new class monitor.


    "This time''s voting, there''s no way to choose. It can only be based on everyone''s will." She said helplessly. If the previous votes still had options.


    Then this time, no matter who was chosen, it was death. So she could only say this. And Mindy and Xiang Wencheng, the two parties involved, had pale faces. Especially Mindy, whose pretty face was already dull and tears kept flowing down.


    She kept murmuring: "I''m going to die. Who will save me?"


    The classmates below were also discussing. Who should the votes be cast for? Mindy was a rich and beautiful girl, an iceberg beauty in the class. And Xiang Wencheng was also a rich and handsome guy.


    Both of them were quite popular in the class, so this also made the students hesitate.


    "Wait a moment, I have something to say." Just then, Gao Ming suddenly stood up from his seat. Immediately, the gazes of the surrounding classmates focused on him.


    Gao Ming was the math representative of our class, with very good grades, and was consistently among the top three in our class.


    "If you have anything to say, just say it," Sophia said.


    "I have a way that might end this curse." Gao Ming said directly. Gao Ming''s words immediately shocked the people around them. Everyone focused their gazes on Gao Ming. Even Mindy stopped crying and raised her head hopefully looking at him.


    "Actually, has everyone ever thought about a problem? This curse asks everyone to vote, and then the winner of the vote must abide by the content. Otherwise, they will be punished. In other words, everyone can choose not to vote. All choose to abstain." Gao Ming suddenly said.


    His words surprised everyone. The students all came to their senses.


    "Yes, Gao Ming is right. Everyone can choose not to vote. Don''t forget in the previous votes, not all of the more than fifty people in our class participated. Didn''t anything happen anyway? That is to say, as long as we don''t vote. The voting can''t proceed. The votes of both sides are zero.


    Then maybe everything is over." Wang Meng said excitedly.


    "Gao Ming, you''re so smart. This way, we''re saved."


    A group of people cheered. Even Sophia''s face showed a hint of joy. "This idea is good. We can give it a try."


    Then the students began to try. The voting deadline was four hours. During these four hours, no one could vote. Otherwise, they would be the enemy of the whole class.


    "Everyone put their phones here with me. Everyone supervises together. Try not to leave the class in the morning. Even if you need to go to the toilet, someone needs to accompany you." Sophia said.


    This proposal was approved by everyone. Even Mindy and Xiang Wencheng agreed. After all, everyone wanted to escape from this curse.


    All the phones were collected on one table. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, no one would definitely take them. And if others went out, someone would go out with them. Especially for Mindy and Xiang Wencheng, many people accompanied them. Just to prevent them from giving themselves votes due to the pressure.


    "Kid, I really didn''t expect you to be so capable. At the critical moment, you were so powerful. Thought of such a way." James came over and smiled at Gao Ming.


    Others also praised Gao Ming one after another, making Gao Ming extremely proud.


    During the break, Jennifer came to me and said excitedly: "Boss, do you think his way really works?"


    I looked at Jennifer. He was very respectful to me now. It seemed that my choice was right.


    "Not likely." I shook my head.


    "It can''t be. I think this way is very good. This way we can escape this curse. We can return to our previous lives." Jennifer said.


    I was stunned for a moment and then shook my head gently. But didn''t say anything. Gao Ming''s way was actually not bad. But in my heart, I always felt that this way seemed to have overlooked something.


    Soon two hours passed. Sophia picked up a phone, opened it, and then said to them in front of everyone: "Very good. Now the voting in the group is still zero. As long as this continues, we''ll win."


    "Great!" Someone cheered immediately. I also excitedly clapped my hands. But the growing unease in my heart told me that this way seemed to have really missed something.


    This whole morning was self-study. Because it was a matter of life and death, few people in the class went out. Everyone was silent. Waiting for the final end.


    In the third hour, the voting was still zero. It seemed that the situation was set. Every classmate relaxed. And started chatting with each other.


    In the third hour and thirty minutes, the voting was zero.


    In the third hour and fifty-nine minutes, there was only one minute left until the end of the voting. The group still had zero votes. Now everyone showed a happy expression. It seemed that everything was coming to an end.
