43.Attack the mind
The third round of the Dead Beast Chess is the most crucial round. The score is now one-to-one. The Dead Beast Chess is a best-of-three game system, which means we have now reached the most critical round.
This round will determine our fate. The winner lives, and the loser dies.
But at this moment, my interest has not fluctuated at all. I''m even looking at the sweating Mars in front of me calmly. Mars stares at me intently. I guess he must be thinking about how to deal with me now.
I have a completely indifferent attitude about this because I already know the true meaning of this Dead Beast Chess. Dead Beast Chess is not won simply by luck.
Although the red side has a huge advantage, the yellow side can also defeat the red side. Although cheating is not allowed, it is not said that psychological warfare cannot be waged. For a true gambling master.
Cheating is the most despicable thing. A true gambling god relies on seeing through the opponent''s psychology and analyzing the opponent''s next move. Then to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy and winning.
Ten minutes later, the game still hasn''t started. Mars is still thinking, looking at me nervously.
I look at Mars leisurely and say impatiently, "It''s been ten minutes. Are you going to start or not?"
"Wait a minute. It''ll start soon." Mars said with difficulty. On the other side, Ivan sent out the elephant in the fourth round and won a hard-fought victory. Successfully tying the score between him and Kyron at one-to-one. Kyron is sweating profusely all over, and his eyes are staring at Ivan intently.
"Let''s play another round," Kyron said. Ivan nodded, his face also looking difficult. His situation is the same as mine, both at one-to-one and about to have the final decisive battle.
I glanced at the game behind me and turned my head without any surprise. I know Ivan''s goal has been achieved. He successfully deceives Kyron, making Kyron think he still has a chance to win and is willing to play with him. In fact, Kyron''s chance of winning was zero from the beginning.
If Ivan had won overwhelmingly in the second round, then Kyron would definitely not be willing to play the third round with him. So in the second round, he only managed to win barely in the fourth and most crucial round. Giving Kyron the illusion that he once pushed Ivan to the brink. He was sure to win!
Then comes the third round. If I''m not mistaken. In the third round, Ivan will not show mercy. Because as long as he wins this round, he will win directly. He will not give Kyron a chance. He will send out the elephant in the first round to end this game!
Sure enough, less than a few minutes after the start of Ivan''s game, a heart-rending voice was heard. Kyron''s painful voice rang out: "How is it possible? Why did you send out the elephant in the first round?"
"Isn''t this very simple? Sending out the elephant in the first round has an 80% chance of winning." Ivan said indifferently. On the table in front of him were exactly two chess pieces.
His elephant ate the opponent''s lion. Easily won the victory. Without leaving any suspense.
"No, this is impossible." Kyron shook his head, his face full of disbelief. From playing Dead Beast Chess with Ivan until now, he always felt that he was only a thin line away from victory.
But in two consecutive rounds, he found that victory was getting further and further away from him. Only at this time did he realize the huge gap between him and Ivan. It turns out that from the very beginning, he had no chance of winning.
"You..." Kyron pointed at Ivan and was about to speak. But the people around suddenly shouted at Kyron: "Kyron, your neck."
"What''s wrong with my neck?" Kyron said strangely.
The classmates around did not answer but just looked at Kyron with horrified eyes one by one. On Kyron''s neck, a red line began to gradually spread on his neck at some point.
Blood is constantly flowing in the red line. It was too late when Kyron was just about to notice. The red line on his neck was getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, it surrounded his entire neck.
"Cough cough!" Kyron only discovered this then, struggling constantly. But blood was constantly spitting out of his mouth. Just then, the red line on his neck had expanded. Kyron couldn''t even speak anymore. He trembled and reached out his hand, trying to hold onto the people around him.

But the students around had already run far away, all looking at Kyron with frightened eyes. Even Mars and I gave up the game and focused our eyes on Kyron.
Kyron desperately protected his neck, but the crack on his neck was getting bigger and bigger. He couldn''t even speak anymore. Just then, along with a crisp sound.
His head fell off his neck and dropped directly to the ground. Then from his neck, blood was spurting out frantically. The entire classroom was like hell. There were continuous screams from girls. Some even fainted directly.
Kyron''s head landed on the ground, his eyes wide open, as if dying with unfinished business.
In the midst of a panicked classroom, it was Ivan who calmly watched all of this. His voice easily said, "Is this time''s death method beheading? It seems quite interesting.
Seeing such a terrifying tragedy, Mars was so scared that he didn''t know how to speak. The whole person sat on the chair, his face pale. Although there was some turmoil in my heart, I quickly returned to calm.
I have experienced long nights and struggled in hell. This threat of death does not affect me much. Sitting on the chair, I calmly looked at Mars.
"Theirs are over. It''s our turn now. There are still five hours left until the end of the game in six hours. We still have time." I said calmly.
"Let''s compete." Mars seemed to have made up his mind. Although his body was still trembling. But he has calmed down. Now there are only the two of us left.
Unable to give up the game, we can only continue. Dead Beast Chess is a survival game where half are eliminated. Among the four people, only two can survive. Now Ivan has successfully escaped the game.
Then the remaining spot will be born between the two of us. Mars is the red side with a huge advantage, so his chance of winning is still very high.
"Humph, this time you don''t want to deceive me any more. I don''t believe you can still win against me." Mars sneered at me. But seeing my confident appearance. He was instead somewhat hesitant.
But he was still ready to continue the game, and thus Dead Beast Chess began again.
Both of us have made preparations, but compared to Mars''s confidence, I am quite ordinary. I randomly picked up a chess piece and directly threw it on the table.
Looking at my casual action, Mars became even more suspicious. He looked at the chess piece in his hand and finally chose a piece. Then he placed it on the table.
"Start!" We shouted simultaneously. At this time, I could clearly feel that Mars was very nervous. He stared intently at the chess piece in my hand, presumably thinking about something.
"This one of mine is the lion. Yours is also the lion. I guessed it long ago." I easily opened the chess piece and directly said to him. Mars was stunned for a moment, and then also opened the chess piece in his hand. Sure enough, it was a lion.
"Continue," I said nonchalantly, and at the same time randomly chose a chess piece and placed it on the table again. Mars hesitated for a moment before carefully starting to select the chess piece.
He now has only two choices, either the elephant or the tiger. There are no other choices. Choosing others is undoubtedly a loss.
"Put it down quickly. So slow." I couldn''t help scolding. Mars didn''t refute. He looked carefully, seemed to have made up his mind, and then placed a chess piece on the table.
"Start!"
Then I directly turned over the chess piece. It was a tiger. Mars beside me looked at the chess piece in front of me. A complex and struggling expression emerged in his eyes. Then he helplessly reached out his hand.
"No need to look. Yours is also a tiger." I said disdainfully. Mars''s face turned livid this time. He gently turned over the chess piece. Just as I expected, it was indeed a tiger.
It was still a draw. We both put the chess pieces aside and continued to play. Now we both have only three chess pieces left. My chess pieces are the leopard, the dog, and the rat, while Mars''s chess pieces are the elephant, the leopard, and the dog.
This time, I still made the first move. In Dead Beast Chess, actually placing the chess pieces later has a huge advantage. Because you can change the chess piece halfway, but I always make the first move every time. Because I have the certainty of winning.
Looking at my confident face, Mars began to hesitate. And his expression all fell into my eyes. This made the corners of my mouth curl up in a sneer.
In fact, from just now until now, I have been acting. In fact, I am also extremely nervous inside. Because I have no sure way to win. But I always pretend to be confident and even use words to interfere with Mars''s judgment. This makes Mars indecisive. Especially when I shouted out the chess piece in his hand twice. It gave him the illusion that I could see through his inner thoughts. So he became more and more hesitant in making his move.
Although cheating is not allowed in this game, it is not said that psychological warfare cannot be waged. My consecutive actions and deliberately relaxed words. Have made Mars''s psychological defense tend to collapse. He began to guess randomly and became more and more cautious in making his move. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not play the key chess piece, the elephant. After all, once this piece is played and fails, he himself is finished.
But he doesn''t know that the chance of winning with the elephant in the first round is four-fifths, and in the second round, it becomes three-quarters. As the rounds increase, the remaining chess pieces on both sides become fewer and fewer. The originally huge advantage of the red side is gradually disappearing.
And this is exactly what I hope to see. Mars in front of me has only three chess pieces left. He is hesitating about which one to play. He didn''t notice that all his actions were within my grasp.
Attacking the city is the inferior strategy; attacking the mind is the superior one! Mars, you''re done for!
44.A complacent Mars
Mars hesitated. Under my continuous psychological attack, his spirit tended to collapse. His hand trembled as he held the chess piece, being indecisive about which one to play. Eventually, he seemed to heave a sigh of relief and placed a chess piece on the table.
I don''t need to guess to know that the chess piece that made him relieved must be the leopard. It seemed that he wasn''t going to play the elephant but was planning to wait for me to make a mistake. Once I thought he would play the elephant, then I would play the rat.
The rat is the weakest chess piece. Except for being able to restrain the elephant, it is no match for the leopard or the dog. My chance of winning by playing the rat now is only one-third, so I won''t play it.
The red side has an absolute advantage in Dead Beast Chess. And the yellow side has the weakest rat. Even if the red side doesn''t play the elephant all the time, as long as the opponent plays the rat, it''s still the red side that wins.
Because the rat is not the opponent of the other four chess pieces and can only restrain the elephant. So once the yellow side mistakenly thinks the red side plays the elephant, then they will play the rat to deal with it. But if the opponent doesn''t play the elephant, then it''s undoubtedly a loss.
The elephant is different. As long as it''s not the rat, the elephant is the strongest chess piece. Even if I play the lion, I still lose. This is the overwhelming advantage of the red side. Even for someone like me, it''s extremely difficult to deal with Mars.
Because our starting points for both sides are not fair. Even if the red side plays randomly, the chance of winning is extremely high. And even if I calculate carefully, it''s not that simple to defeat him.
This is already the third round, and this third round has not determined the winner. Then it will enter the fourth round. We both have only two chess pieces left in our hands now.
This is an extremely crucial round. Both of us stared at each other tightly. Then along with our simultaneous shout of "start". We simultaneously turned over our own chess pieces.
Mine was the leopard, and Mars''s was also the leopard. Still a draw!
At this point, Mars was completely stunned. He looked at me, his eyes astonished and said, "Why didn''t you play the rat?"
"Of course, didn''t you also not play the elephant?" I said with a smile. The current situation has a huge advantage for me. Now we both have only two chess pieces in our hands.
That is to say, the chance of winning for each of us is only 50%. After three consecutive rounds of psychological warfare, I made Mars hesitate and dare not play the elephant, which led to his advantage gradually disappearing.
In the fourth round, his chance of winning by playing the elephant is only one-half, the same as my chance of winning by playing the rat. Yes, after the difficult psychological attack, I finally completely leveled the disadvantage.
This fourth round is the most crucial round. It can even directly determine the outcome.
Because if the fourth round is a draw, then there is no suspense in the fifth round. We will only have the elephant and the rat left in our hands. That''s my certain win.
This time, it''s Mars''s turn to make a choice.
If the fourth round is a draw, Mars is undoubtedly going to lose. So he will definitely play the elephant. Because if he plays the dog and it''s a draw, then in the end, we both have only one chess piece left. That is to say, I am certain to win. Because my last chess piece is the rat. And his is the elephant.
The moment that decides fate has arrived. Many people are surrounding this table. Among these people are Henry, Jennifer, and Derek. I''m not worried about them seeing my cards because this game cannot be cheated.
"Everyone leave the classroom. This is the final battle. Let''s not disturb him." Derek suddenly said. The classmates around were stunned for a moment, then nodded. They all stepped back.
"You guys leave too. Staying here will only distract me." I glanced at Henry and said. Henry nodded, looked at me, and then helplessly stepped back with Jennifer.
More than half of the people in the entire classroom are outside the corridor. Some are observing this life-and-death gamble through the door and the glass. They are all far away from us, looking at us one by one. The entire classroom is empty at the moment, leaving only the two of us.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
"Everyone, be quiet one by one. This is their confrontation. Let''s not cause them any trouble." Derek said. He is the second most influential person in the class after James. And his words make sense. Therefore, even Mars''s friends didn''t say anything at this moment.
Looking at the empty classroom, this time, I still placed a chess piece on the table. I looked at Mars confidently. I knew this was his last chance.
If it''s still a draw, he will undoubtedly die. So he must try every way to break the draw. Then he will definitely play the elephant! And I will win directly by playing the rat!
"Come on, play the elephant. My rat is already impatient." I looked at Mars fanatically. I have calculated Mars to death. Three consecutive draws have completely collapsed Mars''s psychological defense.
Mars will definitely play the elephant for a desperate fight because if he still doesn''t play the elephant, then he will undoubtedly die. Now he has no choice.
I still made the first move, placed a chess piece on the table, and said with a sneer, "Come on, Mars, let''s decide life and death."
"Humph." Mars snorted coldly, trembling as he looked at the two chess pieces in his hand. He was hesitating, extremely hesitant. Which one to play? Compared to his hesitation, I have always been so decisive.
Every time I make the first move, as if not give Mars any time to consider. Looking at my confident face, Mars''s spirit was tense, and big drops of cold sweat kept flowing down from his forehead.
He trembled all over, looked at me with hatred in his eyes, and said venomously, "Frank, why, why can a piece of trash like you push me to this point?"
"Who knows? Anyway, you have no choice now." I said looking at Mars. Mars trembled all over as he looked at me. He gritted his teeth tightly, but his mind was constantly thinking.
He can only play the elephant now. If he doesn''t play the elephant anymore, he is definitely going to lose. If there is another draw, then there is no need to compare.
He will lose 100%. Because in Dead Beast Chess, the elephant is not the opponent of the rat.
45.Complete victory
Mars sat on the chair in despair, his eyes already completely dull. Now the fourth round has passed. After four consecutive draws, he has only one chess piece left in his hand, and that is the elephant.
And I also have only one chess piece left in my hand. This chess piece is the rat. That is to say, in the fifth round, I am certain to win. There will definitely be no chance of failure at all!
Facing this desperate situation, Mars has collapsed. He sat on the chair, mumbling in a hoarse voice, "I''m finished. I''m going to die."
Looking at Mars, who was like a defeated dog in front of me, there was no trace of sympathy in my eyes. Yesterday, I was beaten up severely by Mars and a few of them. Their arrogant words seemed to still echo in my ears.
I do not pity such a person. And I also do not qualify for pity. Because I am also in this survival game.
After an unknown amount of time, Mars finally came to his senses. At this moment, he looked at me crazily with his eyes.
"Do you still want to compete? There are still four hours left." I said to Mars.
"Compete? Compete your ass. I won''t compete." Mars shouted curses. I wasn''t angry about this. Knowing that competing means losing, Mars naturally wouldn''t compete with me.
"Then what do you want?" I said, looking at Mars.
"Ha ha, of course, it''s going to hell with you. Anyway, I will definitely not compete." Mars looked at me viciously and said venomously.
"So that''s it." I looked at Mars calmly, but I was extremely nervous inside. Sure enough, after I pushed Mars into a desperate situation, he simply gave up competing with me. Because he only has the elephant, and competing with me is a sure loss.
Since that''s the case, he simply gave up and decided to die with me. Anyway, as long as he doesn''t compete with me, in the end, there will be no winner. Both of us will die.
Mars''s words naturally aroused the anger of the surrounding classmates. Especially Jennifer. If someone hadn''t stopped him, he would have rushed into the classroom to beat up Mars long ago.
"Mars, are you despicable or not? You are the red side with the advantage. To this extent, do you still want to drag Frank to die with you?" Jennifer said angrily.
"Yeah, you are too selfish. Clearly, you lost. But you want to drag someone else to die with you."
"Ha ha, so what? Anyway, I will definitely not compete with Frank. Unless he voluntarily concedes and counts me as the winner." Mars said proudly. At this time, he doesn''t care anymore. Anyway, he is going to die.
He is like a drowning person who wants to pull someone as a cushion before dying. At this time, no matter how others scold him, it is meaningless. Because he has made up his mind to die.
"Go to hell. Voluntarily concede. You don''t deserve it!" Jennifer shouted curses. At this time, he couldn''t hold it anymore. He rushed directly into the classroom and was about to punch and kick Mars.
"Stop!" I calmly grabbed Jennifer''s arm. Easily stopped him. At this time, Mars wasn''t afraid either, still sneering, "Anyway, I won''t compete. At worst, we all die together!"
"Boss, he treated you like this." Jennifer''s eyes were red and his body was shaking with anger.
"Go outside. Leave this to me." I looked at Jennifer. Jennifer could only glance at Mars resentfully and then turned and walked out of the classroom.
I turned my head to look at Mars. Mars''s eyes were bloodshot at the moment. Like a bloodthirsty beast. I knew that at this time, no matter how I persuaded him, it would be meaningless.
But I still spoke: "Mars, let''s talk. This round counts as a draw. Let''s play another one. Isn''t it the best of the three? You still have a chance."
"Forget it. I know I''m no match for you. Let''s just die together." Mars shook his head proudly, his face full of sarcasm.
"Then what do you want?" I frowned and asked Mars.
"You concede and let me win," Mars said proudly.
"Are you daydreaming?" I looked at Mars with disgust. Mars''s condition is too absurd.

46.Team
After walking out of the classroom, I didn''t show any excitement on my face. Although I successfully defeated Mars and became the winner. But this endless voting game still hasn''t ended. It''s still devouring our lives.
In the classroom, Mars was still bleeding, but I didn''t dare to look back. Because it was me who pushed Mars into the abyss, trembling as I walked in the corridor, I couldn''t describe how I felt in my heart.
"Boss, are you okay?" Jennifer walked over in surprise. But I didn''t turn back.
"What''s wrong?" Henry beside also came over.
"Stay aside. I want to be alone." I glanced at them and then turned and walked out of the teaching building. When I came to the playground, I collapsed on the ground and tears slowly flowed out.
I don''t know why I''m crying, but there is an uncontrollable sadness in my heart. Clearly, I won and survived this survival game. But why do I feel extremely uncomfortable?
Although Mars wasn''t killed by my own hands, it was still my direct cause. Although he bullied me. I also thought of retaliation. But looking at his dying appearance, my heart felt almost suffocating pain.
I''m just a high school student. I''m not a god. Killing my classmate with my own hands, this kind of pain accompanies me all the time. For several consecutive days, I haven''t been able to sleep well.
I don''t know when Diana has already come behind me. I glanced over and then turned back, not saying anything.
"Are you okay?" Diana asked with concern.
"I''m fine. I don''t need you to worry." I gave her a cold glance, wiped away my tears, and stood up. I don''t want to show my weakness in front of Diana.
"About yesterday''s matter, don''t take it to heart. I was thoughtless." Diana bit her lip and said with a pale face.
"I know, but it doesn''t matter." I shook my head and said. Now my hands are already stained with blood. In this voting game, so far, I have gotten rid of three people.
Jasmine, Amelia, Mars. Although they weren''t killed by my own hands, they died directly because of me. My heart has gradually cooled down.
"Why won''t you forgive me?" Diana said with a pale face.
"Why should I forgive you? What position do I have in your heart?" I looked at Diana and questioned.
"Of course, you are very important in my heart." Diana looked at me and said eagerly.
"I don''t think so." I looked at Diana and sneered: "If so when the girls in the class asked if you were in a relationship with me, you gave a negative answer?"
"This..." Diana looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and still lowered her head and replied: "My parents don''t allow me to have puppy love, so I''m afraid that if my classmates know, my parents might know too."
"This is a good excuse. But unfortunately, you are lying." I looked at Diana calmly, and a touch of sadness emerged in my eyes. Then I turned my head and said in a faint voice: "Since you don''t want to explain, then let me explain."
"From the beginning when you approached me, I noticed that you had a certain purpose for me. Only I was carried away at that time and didn''t notice it. Later I realized something was wrong. From the beginning, you didn''t have me in your heart. You just wanted to use me."
"No, I didn''t use you." Diana looked at me and said.
"Maybe. But the reason why you didn''t tell others about our relationship is because you think it''s embarrassing, right?" I suddenly said. Sure enough, after I finished saying this, Diana''s expression froze and she lowered her head, not daring to look at me.
"I know. I have no ability and I''m not handsome. I''m nothing among the boys. And you, on the contrary, are a girl who loves face very much. You are afraid that others will laugh at you if they know that you are in a relationship with me. That''s why you asked me to keep it a secret. Am I right?"
My words were like hitting the nail on the head. Diana couldn''t refute at all. She stammered for a long time but couldn''t say anything.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
"I should have known long ago. In the class, you deliberately avoided me and acted as if we were ordinary on the surface. Even when Henry called you sister-in-law, you would be extremely angry. How ironic!"
I looked at her, and a self-mocking expression emerged on my face. Then I shook my head and turned to leave. But at this moment, Diana gently held my arm.
Tears were flowing on Diana''s beautiful face. Her voice trembled. Her shoulders were also trembling. Those eyes looked at me with hope.
"Sorry, please don''t go," Diana said in a trembling voice.
"I''m not good enough for you. You should find someone better." I finished and gently shook off her arm. Leaving her with a heartless back. Then I turned and left without hesitation. And Diana seemed stunned and stood completely stupid on the playground.
I walked to the edge of the playground without looking back. Henry caught up with me at this time. He looked at me and said: "Boss, are you okay now?"
"Fine. After breaking up with Diana, everything is much easier." I said with a smile. Completely cutting off all relations with Diana. Suddenly, I felt much more relaxed. The whole person was like a prisoner who walked out of a prison.
No wonder some people say that men and women who fall in love are idiots. Love can make people''s thoughts confused. Unable to distinguish their own directions.
"Let''s go. There are still many things waiting for me to do." I said with a smile.
"Wait a moment." Henry looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Boss, you should have noticed it too. My sister-in-law must have some difficulties. Why are you still so determined to break up with her?"
"Difficulties?" I sneered and shook my head, a touch of sadness emerged in my eyes: "Who doesn''t have difficulties? You have them, and so do I. Love is something that makes two people happy. But now when we are together, it can only be misfortune. It''s better to separate. It''s good for both of us."
After saying that, I turned and left without looking back. No one saw that there were also tears in the corners of my eyes...
The morning passed quickly. During this morning, not many people in the class returned to the classroom. The police came again, but they were only simply collecting the bodies.
The classmates have become numb. Many people know that the police can no longer be relied on. The only one they can rely on is themselves. So the classmates took action one after another, hoping to find the truth of the matter.
This morning, I wasn''t idle either. Instead, I was studying some things. The strange diary in David''s room. And the letters "REDRUM" on the wall. These are all important clues.
I still can''t figure out what the last paragraph of David''s diary is and the subtitles written on the wall.
"Now, first of all, we need to understand what the letters ''REDRUM'' mean?" I said to Henry. Now Jennifer, Perrin, and several others are gathering at my seat and starting to discuss.
The classroom is filled with the smell of disinfectant, but most of the classmates in the classroom that has experienced death have become accustomed to it. People who haven''t experienced death and despair may not understand.
In this classroom, so many people have died. But this voting game representing death is still continuing. We don''t even have time to grieve before facing new tests.
"The meaning of ''REDRUM'' is ''Silent Witness''." Perrin picked up the phone and said.
"Silent Witness?" I looked at the letters in front of me and murmured: "What does this sentence mean? Why did David write this line of letters in the room."
"Yeah, what does this sentence mean?" Henry also murmured.
"Forget it. Since everyone doesn''t understand, let''s go to David''s house and have a look again." I murmured. David''s computer is still logged in to the class group account, and there is also a diary. If we can get the diary, maybe we can find something.
"That''s fine. I''ll go with you." Jennifer said.
"OK. Just you and me." I patted his shoulder and said. I trust Jennifer very much. Because even when I was in a desperate situation, he never betrayed me.
Except for me, others in the class are also discussing animatedly. Especially Potter, Gao Ming, and several others. They are also discussing something. It''s now the third class in the morning, and there is only one class left before school is over.
Sophia has now completely lost her prestige and is walking to the chair dejectedly. Several girls beside her are comforting her.
I know Sophia is a very good person. She wholeheartedly wants to save the entire class. But up to now, she hasn''t made any progress. The classmates in the class also don''t trust her anymore.
"Sophia, don''t be angry. I know you are doing it for the good of the entire class." The girl beside me said.
"But up to now, I still haven''t saved anyone." Sophia lay on the table and said in despair.
"No matter what, we still can''t give up. Everyone is still waiting for you to save them." Sophia said.
"Well, I will definitely save everyone." Sophia straightened up and said seriously.
However, except for Sophia, other classmates in the class have no interest in saving the entire class. They are discussing more about how to save themselves. Even I am the same.
I once saved the class, but in return was a ruthless betrayal. This made me understand. The classmates in the class are simply not worth saving.
"Everyone listen up. From now on, we will fight side by side. Everything must be guaranteed by our lives. As for others, they have nothing to do with us." I stretched out my hand and said.
"Well, we will fight side by side." Jennifer also stretched out his hand and said. Then Henry and Perrin stretched out their hands one after another. In this way, a simple team was formed.
And in other places in the classroom, such things are still happening. Under the pressure of survival, everyone began to instinctively form small groups, ready to advance and retreat together to deal with this death-voting game.
The class is slowly splitting apart...
47.The corpse on the ceiling!
I, Henry, Jennifer, and Perrin formed a gang of four. So I have four votes. However, in this voting game, four votes don''t have an advantage. But maybe it can still reverse the situation.
After that, Jennifer and I took a taxi and went to David''s home. Besides, I seemed to find that besides us, people in the class also started to act.
"It seems that some people have the same idea as us," I said, looking at the several taxis following behind. David is the initiator of the voting and also the source of all curses.
From David''s home, some valuable clues can definitely be found. Maybe even a way to escape this voting game. No wonder these people are coming.
"Boss, they also want to take advantage of us from behind," Jennifer said angrily, looking at the rear window.
"Let them be. Anyway, as long as a few of us can get out of the game. It seems that others have nothing to do with us." I said directly. After experiencing betrayal, I no longer have the intention of saving the entire class.
Soon, the taxi arrived at David''s home. The taxi driver gave us a strange look, then took the money and hurriedly drove away. I followed Jennifer and got out of the car, looking at the two-story villa in the distance.
"David''s family is very rich," Jennifer exclaimed. After he finished speaking, several more cars came one after another behind. A large group of people got out of them. Among them were Potter, Gao Ming, James, and Derek.
"Why are you here?" Jennifer frowned and scolded.
"Why, can''t we come?" James looked at Jennifer with a rebellious gaze and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth. Jennifer snorted coldly but said nothing. After all, he couldn''t afford to offend James now.
"Let''s go," I said calmly.
"Frank, you are so cocky now. I heard that you even killed my brother Mars." James looked at me and said.
"It was just a bet. I didn''t want to kill him." I gave James an indifferent look and then said.
"I don''t care if it was a bet or a game. Anyway, you got rid of my brother. Just wait," James gave me a threatening look and then turned and left beside me.
James quickly knocked on David''s door. After the door opened, David''s stepmother came out, with a black face and scolded: "Who are you?"
"We are David''s classmates." James hurriedly explained.
"I know you are David''s classmates," James squeezed out a smiling face and said.
"I know you are David''s classmates, but why are you here again?" David''s stepmother looked at James and said.
"Besides us, who else came?" James couldn''t help asking. From David''s stepmother''s mouth, it seemed that someone besides us had come here first.
"Don''t worry about this. Anyway, don''t come in." David''s stepmother''s face changed slightly and then she was about to close the door. But James was in a hurry at this time and quickly grabbed the door handle.
"What are you doing? I''ll call the police like this." David''s stepmother said in a panic.
"We just want to find something in David''s room. Auntie, please be lenient." After saying that, James led several people and rushed indirectly. Several classmates didn''t hesitate either. After all, it was a matter of life and death.
"You bunch of robbers!" David''s stepmother wanted to stop them but was pushed away by James. Then a group of people rushed into David''s room vigorously.
I also hurriedly followed Jennifer and rushed into the room. In David''s room, James was roaring: "What''s going on? Why is David''s computer like this?"
In David''s room, it is now in a mess, with smashed traces everywhere. His original computer has been smashed to pieces. Both the chassis and the display screen are all broken all over the floor. This made his face look very ugly.
This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.
But I hurriedly looked for the bookshelf. After looking for a few minutes, I found that the David diary I saw last time had disappeared.
"It seems that someone is destroying the evidence. Didn''t David''s mother just say that besides us, there was a person who claimed to be David''s classmate?" Gao Ming said.
"Right. Go and ask her. Maybe we can find out." James'' eyes lit up and then he turned and left with the people around him. Only I and Jennifer were still standing here in the entire room.
"Boss, let''s go too. There''s nothing to see here." Jennifer turned and said. I didn''t respond to him but silently lowered my head and started looking at the broken computer.
It doesn''t matter if the computer chassis is broken. As long as the hard disk inside is still there. You can see the data in the computer. Soon I found the hard disk. But on the hard disk, there were already several huge gaps. This made me frown slightly.
Anyway, I still put the hard disk in my pocket. Maybe it can be repaired. It''s good to find some clues. After finding the hard disk, I looked for it again. But then I didn''t gain anything.
"Forget it. Let''s go." I said to Jennifer. It was an unexpected gain to find the hard disk. I turned around and was about to leave when I suddenly saw the letters on the wall and my face changed suddenly.
"What''s wrong? Boss." Jennifer asked when he saw me suddenly stop. I didn''t waste words with him but walked into the room again. The letters on David''s wall were still blood red. It looked extremely creepy.
And on the ceiling, there was some water accumulation. It seemed to be dripping constantly. I looked at the ceiling with some doubt, then pinched the water drop on my finger and smelled it.
I walked to the wall, then turned to face the front according to the direction of the wall. And I soon found something abnormal. The door of David''s room was facing the subtitles on the wall. And behind the door, there was a mirror hanging on it. Looking at the reflected letters in the mirror. I smiled. I think I already know the truth.
Following Jennifer downstairs, on the first floor, David''s stepmother roughly refused James'' inquiries. And drove them all out.
"Get out one by one quickly, or I''ll call the police right away. You bunch of robbers!" David''s stepmother scolded. Pushing the classmates one by one. James and they looked very helpless and could only retreat one by one.
Soon, except for the two of us, there was no one else in the entire room.
Looking at me and Jennifer walking down the stairs slowly. David''s stepmother said angrily: "Why don''t you two get out quickly? Are you waiting for me to call the police?"
"As you like. You can call the police at will. I don''t care. At most, it''s trespassing. And you, but murder." I shrugged and said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" David''s stepmother''s face changed and said.
I walked down the stairs unhurriedly and then sat on the sofa and said: "You should understand what I mean. Stop pretending. Did you kill David?"
"Hehe, are you kidding? What evidence do you have?" David''s stepmother looked at my face and said. And Jennifer beside was even more incredible. His eyes looked at David''s stepmother, and his face was a little surprised.
"Evidence? If a person is misunderstood as a murderer, the first reaction should be, I didn''t kill. It wasn''t me. Instead of asking for evidence as soon as they open their mouth. What does this mean?" I sneered at her, leaned my body on the sofa, then supported my head with my arm, and looked at her lazily.
"Of course, it''s not just that. I saw a line of letters in David''s room. I believe you should know." I said to David''s stepmother.
"So what? It''s just a group of letters. REDRUM. What is this?" David''s stepmother said.
"Of course not this. If David dared to write the correct letters, they would definitely be crossed out by you. So he deliberately left this line of letters. And left a hint." I said calmly.
"Hint? What hint?" David''s stepmother asked.
"This line of letters ''REDRUM'' corresponds to his door. And David deliberately left a mirror behind the door. When you open the door, you can only see this line of letters but not the mirror. Only when you walk into the room and close the door instantly can you see the correct letters in the mirror. And the letters seen in the mirror are upside down. That is to say.
The real letters of this line are not REDRUM. But ''MURDER''." I sneered.
After I finished speaking, David''s stepmother''s face became extremely pale. She collapsed on the sofa and murmured: "This, how is this possible."
"You should be clear about the meaning of ''MURDER'', which is murder! And you are the murderer." I looked at David''s stepmother''s face and pursued vigorously.
David''s stepmother was shocked by my words. She fled backward in panic, constantly shouting: "No, I didn''t kill. No, I didn''t."
But soon she calmed down again and sneered: "Even so, it can only prove that David was murdered. Why do you say it must be me who killed?"
"Do you still want to deny it? When we just arrived, you seemed to be dealing with something. Otherwise, your face wouldn''t be so strange. And on David''s ceiling, water drops are constantly dripping. What exactly did you hide on the ceiling? Or rather, whose body is it?" I sneered and said.
My words completely broke David''s stepmother''s psychological defense. She retreated backward desperately and her face had become extremely pale: "No, I didn''t do it. I didn''t want to kill them either. They forced me."
"Oh, it seems that you admit that you killed someone, and more than one. David is already dead. So the body should be another one. If I''m not wrong, it should be..." I said halfway, looking at David''s stepmother grimly.
David''s stepmother''s spirit has completely collapsed. She knelt down directly and said: "Stop talking. I beg you to stop talking. I''ll agree to whatever you want!"
"Hehe, what is this? Do you want to convict me just because of this?" David''s stepmother laughed and asked. When she laughed, she was very beautiful, especially her plump chest trembled, making me unable to shift my gaze.

"It''s not necessarily all dead people, but there must be some dead people mixed in." I analyzed calmly. Anyway, although David''s stepmother died and the clues were interrupted, I got a very important piece of information.
That is, among our classmates, there is a girl who has a relationship with the mastermind behind the scenes. Maybe she is even the mastermind!
"Anyway, we found some clues this time. It wasn''t a wasted trip." I said calmly to Jennifer. After the experience in the archives room, the evidence was gradually disappearing.
"Let''s go back, boss," Jennifer said. Then he and I returned to the class. In the class, it was still chaotic. This situation has lasted for a long time, so I wasn''t surprised.
Sitting on the chair, I saw Henry discussing something with Adam. Seeing us come back, Adam hurriedly returned to his seat. And Henry exclaimed excitedly, "Boss, you''re back?"
"Well," I nodded and sat on the table. I asked, "What did Adam want from you?"
"He wants to form an alliance with us. Boss, do you say we should agree?" Henry asked.
"Of course, he and Jared have two votes together." I thought for a moment and said. The voting game in the class still hasn''t ended. Under the pressure of survival, we have to make some preparations.
I have four votes now, namely Henry, Jennifer, me, and Perrin. If we add Adam and them, it''s six votes. Of course, these six votes are nothing for more than forty people in the class.
"Then I''ll agree to him." Henry finished and walked over. Then he said a few words to Adam and came back satisfied. Sitting on the chair. He said helplessly, "Boss, we only have six votes now. We can''t do anything with this."
"Yes, it can''t play a decisive role." I nodded and said.
"Now the one who has the most votes in the whole class is James. He is rich. He has drawn in most of the girls in the class." Henry said dissatisfiedly.
"It''s no use. Even if he has all the votes in the class, it only reduces the chance of him being selected to the lowest. It doesn''t mean he definitely won''t be selected." I said disdainfully.
"Yes, whether it''s the Death Rock-Paper-Scissors game or the Death Animal Chess. They are all randomly selected. Even James can be selected." Henry said.
I nodded and didn''t speak, just frowned slightly. I found that the voting in the group is becoming more and more difficult. At the beginning, it was just dancing and confessing. At most, it was a bit embarrassing. But later, the difficulty of the tasks has increased geometrically.
And it''s no longer possible to avoid death as before. For example, in the Death Rock-Paper-Scissors game, no matter how you avoid it, only two people will die. This is the lowest casualty. If you are not careful, all six people participating in the game will die.
This elimination rate is simply terrifying. If the voting at the beginning was just a game, but later it has become a terrifying death game.
What''s even more terrifying is that until now, we still don''t know who is maintaining this voting game. Up to now, new votes are born every day.
We can''t stop it at all. We can only watch death come upon one classmate after another. Under such circumstances, one classmate after another began to form groups, wanting to gather more votes. This also made the unity in the class that once existed disappear. Everyone began to suspect each other.
Even though I clearly knew this situation, I could only helplessly stop it. Instead, I silently collected votes.
"I hope there won''t be group tasks tomorrow," I murmured to myself. Henry and Jennifer nodded along. In the class voting, group tasks have the highest mortality rate.
For example, in Death Animal Chess and Death Rock-Paper-Scissors, no less than two people die each time. If we die like this, not many people in the whole class can survive.
If it''s some individual tasks, it''s easy to handle. For example, Liu Mingyang''s touching the chest today. It''s a very simple task. It doesn''t lead to death. This is the item with the lowest casualty among the group options.
The content that appears in the group voting is random. There may be cruel games like Death Animal Chess, or there may be some individual small tasks. These tasks are very simple. They can be easily completed.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
Shaking my head, I sighed. Now I can only try to find the mastermind behind the scenes. My gaze swept around the class and then began to look carefully.
The short-haired girl that David''s stepmother mentioned is in our class. She pays attention to us all the time. She is a thorn in the class. If we don''t remove this thorn, we will be doomed.
"Who could this girl be? There are about a dozen short-haired girls in the class. Starting from these people, maybe we can find the target." I kept thinking in my heart.
Now that there are important clues, there are objects that can be investigated. As long as these short-haired girls are locked as the task targets. One day, I will find the mastermind behind the scenes. This is much better than aimlessly looking for a needle in a haystack.
At least I know that the mastermind behind the scenes is in this class and among a dozen short-haired girls.
50.The calm before the storm
Derek is the second most powerful person in the class after James. Whether in terms of financial resources or connections, he is on par with James. Unexpectedly, he only got a mere twelve votes now.
Derek''s face turned a little red, but still said, "My pocket money has been greatly reduced by my dad. Besides, James secretly took money from home. I can only manage to get twelve votes now."
"Is that so." I nodded. It seems relying on Derek is impossible. But the votes from Derek and us combined.
There are eighteen votes. Although it doesn''t account for the majority, it can still hold a position.
"Okay, I''ll agree to form an alliance with you," I said to Derek.
"Then please do your best. We must not let that guy James succeed." Sophia looked at me seriously and said.
I actually have a pretty good impression of this female monitor with a strong sense of justice. Maybe it''s because she is one of the few people in the class who spoke up for me. However, in comparison, her executive ability is quite average. But she is the only one in the class who is constantly working hard.
I am ashamed of this kindness. Anyway, I still admire her very much. But now I have completely lost the idea of saving the entire class.
"Well, it''s settled then." Derek finished speaking and turned to leave. Sophia, however, stayed by my side.
She looked at me seriously and said, "Frank, can you investigate with me during the next period of time?"
"I''m not interested," I said calmly.
"Frank, why are you like this? In the class, except for you and Ivan, no one can do this kind of thing. Please, I beg you." Sophia looked at me with a pleading look.
"Well then, as long as Ivan agrees, I''ll also agree with you," I said like this.
"But Ivan didn''t agree with me." Sophia looked at me with a pitiful gaze and said.
"Sorry, I will conduct the investigation. But not with you. But by myself." I said to Sophia. Sophia, this girl with a strong sense of justice, will only hinder my investigation.
Sophia left helplessly, leaving only me still thinking. Sophia has long hair. It seems she should be excluded.
And I also don''t believe that the mastermind behind the scenes would be such a person with a strong sense of justice.
I didn''t attend the evening self-study and went directly back home. My father was still working at home. The entire home was empty, with only me alone. I''m long accustomed to this loneliness, so it''s not surprising.
Lying on the bed and picking up the Taigong Compass, I began to observe it carefully. The Taigong Compass is the most powerful item in my hand. It has the power to predict the future.
Looking at the Taigong Compass in my hand, I suddenly had an idea. Can I predict who the mastermind behind the scenes of our class is through the Taigong Compass? Thinking of this, I hurriedly bit my finger and then placed it on the Taigong Compass, reciting a few incantations.
These incantations are arid ancient texts, and I have no idea what they mean.
As my finger hurt, the blood began to be absorbed. I hurriedly asked, "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes in our class?"
After I finished speaking, I suddenly felt that the absorption power of the Taigong Compass increased significantly. On the Taigong Compass, a purple light flashed for a moment. My finger felt almost numb. My entire body''s blood seemed to be guided by the Taigong Compass.
I was greatly shocked and hurriedly threw the Taigong Compass on the ground. After absorbing the blood, the Taigong Compass began to¸¡ÏÖ a floating character. This character was very incomplete. The blurry feeling was a character of ''Wang'' or some other character.
I hurriedly looked at my finger. My entire finger was completely white without the slightest trace of blood color. Looking at my finger, I couldn''t help but sit on the bed in fear. I was too naive.
Although the Taigong Compass is powerful, the price to pay for predicting is huge. The bigger the question, the more blood it absorbs. And this blood must be human blood. And it must be the blood flowing inside the blood vessels.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
If I hadn''t thrown the Taigong Compass on the ground just now, I''m afraid I would have been drained of blood and died by it. The Taigong Compass is known as an ominous object, and it truly lives up to its name.
No wonder my aunt cautioned me not to use the Taigong Compass unless it was absolutely necessary.
The Taigong Compass is really too dangerous. Its prediction uses blood as a medium. The bigger the question, the more blood it absorbs. The question I asked just now almost caused me to be drained of blood and die by the Taigong Compass. From this, it can be seen how serious the answer to this question is.
"What kind of nightmare have I fallen into that the Taigong Compass has to drain all my blood to find the answer?" I looked at the Taigong Compass on the ground and said with a bitter smile. My face was full of fear.
The bloody character floating on the Taigong Compass was extremely incomplete and couldn''t be identified at all. Maybe it''s because there was too little blood. But I dare not let it draw blood anymore.
Just now, I already felt dizzy spells one after another. It seems to be due to the lack of blood.
I hurriedly drank several bowls of brown sugar water and ate a bunch of nutritious things. Then I fell asleep on the bed in a daze. I don''t know what kind of nightmares are waiting for me in the future.
But at this moment, I have no choice. There is only one thought in my mind, and that is to survive!
The next day, I walked into the classroom with a pale face. Anyone could tell that I was not in a good mental state. It''s no wonder.
Yesterday, the Taigong Compass almost drained all my blood, causing me to be greatly weakened. I still feel sleepy now. This made me determined that I will never use the Taigong Compass unless it''s a life-and-death situation.
"Boss, didn''t you sleep well last night?" Henry looked at me and asked strangely.
"More or less." I shook my head and said. I always feel listless now.
"Hehe, did the boss do something last night? Could it be that you lost your virginity?" Henry looked at me, desperately wanting to see something on my face.
"Damn it, I wish I could. The key is who would be with me?" I said angrily.
"Boss, there are so many girls in our class. With your ability, it''s not difficult to find one." Henry winked at me and said.
"Get lost," I said angrily.
Just then, Jennifer also walked in. He held hands with his girlfriend, Perrin. It seemed that his spirit wasn''t good either. And Perrin beside him was the same. Looking at the two of them like this, one could tell what they did last night at a glance.
"Jennifer, I really envy you," Henry said to Jennifer with a playful smile.
"Get lost. Who told you that you don''t have a girlfriend? You deserve to be single." Jennifer scolded with a smile, and then came to me and said, "Boss, your complexion isn''t good. Are you sick?"
"Maybe I have a cold. Don''t worry about it. Let''s still discuss it." I waved my hand and gathered them together. Then we started to discuss. After all, no one knew what options would be in the group voting.
Everyone started to discuss with each other. Even Adam joined in.
"If any of us appears in the group voting, we must choose another option, understand?" I said seriously.
"No problem. Let''s do it like this." Henry said.
"But boss, if a group task like yesterday appears in the group voting, what should we do?" Jennifer asked.
I was stunned for a moment. His question really stumped me. The group task is the most uncontrollable option in the group voting and also the one with the most deaths.
"Let''s see. If it can''t be avoided, choose the one with the least casualties." I thought for a moment and said.
"Let''s do it like this," Henry said.
While we were discussing, other places in the class had also agreed. James and Ryan were making promises to a group of girls.
"Let''s make it like this. This is the way to avoid the least casualties." James said.
"Don''t worry. We all support you." Ava said hurriedly. Then other girls also responded one after another.
George and Liu Xu were also discussing with each other. As for Sophia, she was whispering even more quietly. The entire classroom was full of whispering. No one dared to speak loudly. It was just like the calm before the storm.
Wang Meng came to me and whispered, "Frank, who are you going to choose later?"
"Let''s see. I''m not too sure." I replied perfunctorily.
"Well then, if there''s me in the group options, can you not choose me? I have no grudge against you." Wang Meng looked at me and said.
"OK," I promised directly.
"That''s good," Wang Meng patted my shoulder and then left. And soon someone else came over. This time it was Diana. She lowered her head and dared not look at me. But I could clearly feel that her body was a little thin.
"What''s the matter?" I looked at Diana and said. Facing Diana at this moment, I was quite calm in my heart.
"Later, can you not choose me?" Diana lowered her head and said after a long time.
"I won''t choose you. I can do this." I looked at Diana and said. Although I was a little complaining about Diana, I wouldn''t use such a despicable method to deal with a girl. This is not revenge. This is disgraceful.
"I knew it would be like this. Although you are cowardly, you are still very proud inside." Diana glanced at me, then finished saying this sentence and turned and left.
I withdrew my gaze, and my eyes were a little dim. Diana was my first love. Now although it''s over. There is still some pain in my heart. I hope this feeling will gradually disappear.
Now the entire classroom is in chaos. There are constantly people talking. Some people had a bad relationship before. Now they have started fighting.
Just like the two girls in the front row. They were slapping each other''s faces and scolding each other.
"You little bitch, you dare to snatch my Ivan."
"Who said Ivan is yours? Did he admit it himself?" This girl refused to give in and said.
"Whether he admits it or not, he is my favorite person. Don''t look in the mirror. With your appearance, you still want to snatch a man from me." This girl sarcastically said and gave her another slap in the face.
So the two girls started to fight without giving in to each other. And Ivan beside them was indifferent. He didn''t even look at them. Instead, he gently picked up his phone and waited for the group voting to arrive.
51.Death Note Passing!
One of the following two items must be chosen. If the two votes are the same, they will be executed simultaneously.
- The whole class will play a game of Death Note Passing.
- The whole class will play a game of Death Battle Royale.
"Damn it! What is this? Both are group tasks and the scope is the entire class." Jennifer couldn''t help shouting. Henry beside him was even more startled.
This time, the group voting that emerged is more demanding than before. Because both items are group tasks. And the entire class must participate. If so, what''s the point of voting or not?
James''s face turned pale. He had gone to great lengths to cast so many votes. But the result is like this. The group task for the entire class means that no one can avoid it.
"Are you kidding me? How could such a group task appear? Before, except for weekends, there were none at other times." James roared, looking at me and Ivan with bloodshot eyes.
"It must be you two. It must be you two who angered the voting initiator and made him issue such a vote." James pointed at me and said. At the same time, he looked at Ivan viciously.
"Yes, it must be you two. Otherwise, in the previous games, why were both of you two selected?" George also stood up and said. After he finished speaking, the surrounding classmates suddenly understood.
"Yes, Frank, Ivan. It must be you two who offended the voting initiator and implicated the entire class." Ava also stood up and said. For a moment, Ivan and I simply became the culprits.
However, compared to Ivan, I received the most hateful looks. After all, they couldn''t afford to provoke Ivan. And I seemed the easiest to bully.
"How can you say that? Aren''t Frank and Ivan also for the entire class?" Sophia stood up and said.
"Shut up. Tell us what we should do now?" James glared with bloodshot eyes and said almost frantically. He stomped his feet irritably, and his emotions became more and more excited.
The others around him had the same emotions as him. Some people even simply burst into tears. Facing the options in the group voting, everyone didn''t know what to do.
"Should we vote in the end or not?" A classmate trembled and said.
"What the hell. This is nonsense." James angrily slapped the table. His eyes were full of blood. The faces of the people around him were also not good.
"We must vote. This is the only way we can contend with the mastermind behind the scenes." I stood up and said.
"Damn it, Frank. How do you say we should vote? Both sides mean death." James cursed. At this time, he didn''t care anymore.
"We still have to find a way to minimize the number of casualties. Among these two games, just by the names, we know that the loss of Death Note Passing should be the smallest." I analyzed.
"You say the smallest is the smallest? Now no one knows. What these two games are. We also don''t know the game rules." James said rudely.
I nodded. James was right. David would only come out and announce the game rules after the voting was completed. Before that, he wouldn''t come out at all. Everything was just a guess.
"I trust Frank," Sophia stood up and said. With a serious expression, she said, "He is impossible to deceive us. This also concerns our vital interests."
"Cut. Anyway, choosing either one is death." James muttered, but surprisingly, he didn''t refute. After all, everyone knew the current situation. It was already a dilemma.
Now one of these two must be chosen. Otherwise, even if no one chooses, the game won''t end. The final result might be even worse than now. As voters, we can''t stop voting or modify the content of the voting.
If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
The only thing we can do is choose the option with the least loss.
Although my classmates in the class couldn''t reach a consensus, most people still accepted my idea and chose item 1. Of course, some people chose 2. But there were only a few votes.
The voting was ongoing. Everyone had a frown. Some girls were even crying. The entire classroom was in chaos. Limp held his girlfriend, Liu Gaoqi, and constantly comforted her.
Cries and whispers became the main tone of the entire classroom. A sense of despair hung over everyone''s heart. I looked at Jennifer in the distance. He was holding Perrin and comforting her softly. But his face was full of gloom.
Everyone around was like this. Everyone was nervous and uneasy. Waiting for the next game to start. Even the calmest person would be frightened in the face of such impending death.
The voting finally ended. The number of people who chose option 1 was as high as 37 votes. This meant that the Death Note Passing began.
David began to appear in the group.
"Congratulations on choosing the most correct option. The game rules of Death Note Passing are as follows."
"First, take a piece of white paper and write a character of ''death'' on it. Then fold it up as a note."
"Second, after the first person in the first row gets this note, hand the note to the person behind the seat.
And so on. The person in the last row hands it to the person beside and then continues to pass. When it reaches the last row, it continues to pass in the opposite direction. This continues infinitely."
"Third, the game lasts for ten minutes. After ten minutes, the person holding the note and not passing it out will be sentenced to kill."
"Special rule: During the game, everyone cannot leave their seats, otherwise they will be executed. If the entire class refuses to play the game, they will all be executed!"
"No wonder it''s called Death Note Passing. So it is." I muttered to myself while looking at my phone. Henry beside me hurriedly said, "In this case, just pay attention to passing the note to others. Everyone''s chance of survival is the same."
"That''s right. We must not keep the note with the word ''death'' in our hands. Otherwise, it''s a dead end." I said calmly while thinking quickly in my mind.
Is there any way to avoid having the note in my hand in this Death Note Passing game?
Sophia''s face was pale and her whole body was trembling. But she still came to the podium. Her voice trembled and said, "Classmates, there''s no choice. We have to play."
"Um." The students below the stage didn''t waste words with her at this time. They all nodded and said.
"Don''t worry, everyone. Not many people will die in this game. There will only be one." Sophia forced a smile and said. Then she picked up a piece of white paper and began to write a character of ''death''. And she showed this piece of white paper to everyone.
Sure enough, there was a character of ''death'' written on it. Then Sophia folded this piece of paper and handed it to a classmate closest to the podium. Then she trotted all the way to her seat and sat down.
"The game is about to start. Everyone sits properly. Don''t leave your seats within ten minutes." The first classmate said. His face was full of fear as he waved the note in his hand. His voice was difficult as he said.
Then the classmates quickly returned to their seats. Some people who didn''t have time to go back simply sat in other people''s seats. Soon, all the seats in the class were occupied.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the Death Note Passing to come. And the boy sitting at the beginning, his voice trembled, and said, "The game has started. Everyone get ready!"
And at this time, I raised my head and looked at the clock beside the podium. It was exactly eight-ten. That is to say, at eight twenty, this Death Note Passing will end.
With the voice of this boy, he began to tremble and pass the note to the person behind him. The classmate behind was obviously startled by the note. He didn''t have time to say anything. He trembled and picked up the note and then passed it to the back.
The classmate behind hurriedly caught the note. However, she was also frightened and her face turned pale.
But she passed it to the back without hesitation. In this way, the note began to be passed quickly in a short period of time.
My gaze was fixed in the distance. There were three rows of seats in the entire classroom. I was in the second row. That is to say, the note wouldn''t reach me for the time being. Looking at the constantly passed note, my heart also fluctuated along with its movement.
At this moment, everyone in the classroom was nervously staring at the constantly passed note. This note with the word ''death'' was like a nightmare. As soon as ten minutes were up, the person holding this note in their hand would undoubtedly die.
Therefore, everyone who got the note would turn pale at the first moment and then frantically try to pass the note out. Under the pressure of death, the speed and efficiency of passing the note were extremely fast.
After everyone got the note, the first thing they did was pass the note to others. Only then would they breathe a sigh of relief and relax to watch the next passing of the note.
And those who were still waiting for the note. They were the most uncomfortable type of people. Because they were constantly fearing that the note would suddenly come into their hands.
I checked the time. It was less than a minute. But this minute felt longer than a century to me. I waited uneasily while constantly looking at the clock in the classroom.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, my front desk classmate, with a pale face, handed the note in his hand to me. His arm was trembling. But after handing it to me, his face obviously relaxed a lot.
I took the note and felt my brain go blank. But looking at the time, I still calmed down. It''s only been a minute now. That is to say, there are still nine minutes left.
"Here you are!" I hurriedly handed it to Henry. Henry nodded with fear on his face. Then he began to stretch out his hand and handed the note to his front desk. His front desk hurriedly grabbed the note and began to continue passing it forward.
52.The swapped note
This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere."Boss, Sarah is too much of a cheater, isn''t she?" Henry said.
"Yes, everyone in the whole class participated in this game. But she wants to stay out of it." I said.
"But her cheating method works. At least no one will give her the note. Because she simply doesn''t accept it." Henry said enviously.
"Humph, she''s really short-sighted. Relying on such a method, even if she wins. She has offended the whole class. There will be no place for her in the entire class by then." I looked at the triumphant Sarah, and a hint of irony flashed in my eyes.
Sarah''s method was indeed effective. This almost cheating method allowed her to be invincible in the game. But she offended everyone in the class, even me. But I was too disdainful to embarrass a girl. Otherwise, I had countless ways to make Sarah suffer.
Sarah was just a small interlude. The passing of the note continued. This note continued to be passed among the classmates. With the urgency of time, the passing of the note became faster and faster.
It was as if there was a scythe of the Grim Reaper above everyone''s head, always ready to swing down. Under this impending death that was within reach, no one could remain indifferent.
Every classmate was looking at the process of passing the note with a pale face. Now the ten-minute game was more than half over, and there were only five minutes left. Everyone was tense, looking at the approaching note and getting ready one by one.
Among the whole class, only Sarah was carefree. She sneered at the surrounding classmates. Her expression was lazy and calm. Although she also knew that she would break ties with these classmates later. But in order to survive, she didn''t regret it at all.
Looking at us struggling for survival, one by one nervously watching the process of passing the note. Afraid of missing a second. She couldn''t help but want to laugh heartily.
The note was constantly being passed, and soon it reached my hand again. I looked at the note in my hand. Then I indifferently gave it to Henry. Henry had a serious expression and without saying a word, gave the note to the front desk.
"How boring." I shook my head and started to lie on the table, looking indifferent.
"Boss, what are you doing? Don''t sleep," Henry said in alarm. At this time, in the classroom, everyone''s
But at this time, I was going to sleep. How could this not alarm Henry? After all, this game of passing the death note was related to the lives of everyone present.
"Don''t look. It won''t be our turn." I waved my hand lazily and said.
"It''s impossible. The speed of passing the note is so fast now. It will be our turn in less than a minute." Henry didn''t believe it.
"It''s not a trick. But haven''t you noticed? The note we just passed out has been swapped. That is to say, the note being passed now is fake!" I said this earth-shattering news with a calm expression!
