Chapter 66

What now? No. 07 had just bolted out without a care, and he was already dead.

To leave the classroom without violating classroom discipline, they had to get Head Teacher Liu’s approval. But would she agree?

No. 16, who shared a dorm with Qiao Yu, rolled his eyes in thought and was the first to raise his hand.

Head Teacher Liu asked, “No. 16, what is it?”

No. 16 opened his palm. “Teacher, I cut my hand on a piece of paper. I’d like to ask for leave and rest for a bit.”

Head Teacher Liu glanced at the wound on his finger and frowned. “A little cut like that is nothing. Bear with it. Class will be over soon.”

Hearing that, No. 16 pressed his finger against the curled metal edge of his desk and dragged it hard. Blood instantly began dripping down, bright red flesh gaping at the wound in a hideous mess.

“What about now?”

Head Teacher Liu stared at No. 16 with a cold, sinister gaze for a long while before finally nodding, clearly reluctant. “Go.”

-This streamer is actually pretty smart.

-Tsk, tsk, tsk. He dodged it for now, but not forever.

Everyone held their breath as they watched No. 16 leave safely. Their minds began racing.

But before anyone else could raise a hand, Head Teacher Liu beat them to it and ordered No. 14, “Please designate the next person.”

No. 14 barely hesitated before lifting his hand and pointing at Luo Yunmeng in front of him. “I choose No. 03.”

Luo Yunmeng was honestly speechless. How had this still landed on her?

She rose slowly and walked toward the podium, thoughts spinning at lightning speed the whole way.

Leaving without violating classroom discipline… That condition was way too strict.

And she couldn’t drag this out. Who knew what kind of task was waiting for her in that black cardboard box up front? She didn’t want to kill anyone, and she didn’t want to be the one who died either.

The streamers in the classroom had already started raising their hands. Head Teacher Liu picked one at random.

The man pretended to have a stomachache and said, “Reporting to the Head Teacher, my stomach hurts. I’d like to ask for leave.”

But Head Teacher Liu’s mouth twisted into an eerie smile. “You saw someone else ask for sick leave, so now you’re asking for sick leave too. Are you lying to your teacher on purpose because you don’t want to attend class?”

The next second, the broadcast speaker on the wall suddenly crackled with static. Immediately afterward, an electronic AI-like voice came through the speaker. “No. 33 has violated classroom discipline rule five: do not lie to or deceive the teacher. Head Teacher, please administer punishment.”

As soon as the voice finished speaking, Head Teacher Liu’s arm stretched out once more and tore off the man’s head in one smooth motion. Bright red blood mixed with chunks of flesh sprayed everywhere.

-Second kill! Head Teacher Liu is the best!!

-Hahaha, I was so sick of the streamer’s weird vibe. This is what a normal stream is supposed to look like.

-But what’s up with the streamer today? He’s a little… quiet?

-Maybe he didn’t sleep well??

-Li Xiaoqin: Damn it, he isn’t about to give up, is he? I placed a bet! Hurry up and pull yourself together, aaahhh!

-I’m dying. Sister Li is about to lose her mind.

Qiao Yu glanced at the comment section, then listlessly looked away again.

The skin exposed around his eyes above the mask was so pale it was almost translucent, without the slightest hint of color.

He really did look sick.

Meanwhile, Luo Ziwei touched the warm liquid that had splattered onto his face. His eyes rolled back, and he nearly fainted.

“What, are you sick too?”

Luo Ziwei sucked in a sharp breath and quickly sat up straight, shaking his head.

A trace of disappointment flashed through Head Teacher Liu’s eyes. She lifted her head and looked at Luo Yunmeng on the podium. “Why haven’t you drawn your task slip yet?”

Luo Yunmeng swallowed and raised her hand. “Reporting to Head Teacher Liu, I’m on my period. I need to use the bathroom.”

Head Teacher Liu narrowed her eyes. “Are you on your period, or do you need to use the bathroom? Explain yourself!”
Luo Yunmeng’s mind buzzed. She hurriedly said, “Bathroom. I need to use the bathroom. I can’t wait another second.”

Head Teacher Liu nodded. “Go.”

Only then did Luo Yunmeng let out a breath of relief and stagger out of the classroom.

-There. Both excuses had been used up.

-The slaughter begins!

-I’m so excited, heeheehee…

Right now, Class F had two dead and two who had fled.

And every so often, they still had to go up to the platform and draw one of those damned task slips.

The shadow of death hung over everyone’s heads at every moment. The streamers were all pale-faced, utterly unable to think of a way to leave the classroom.

From the moment No. 03 had tried to leave and Head Teacher Liu had asked that question, the smarter streamers had already guessed that if Luo Yunmeng had claimed it was her period just now, Head Teacher Liu probably would have ripped her head off too.

It seemed periods had also been classified under illness. If that was the case, how were they supposed to get out of the classroom?

Without violating classroom discipline, the only two ways they could think of to leave the classroom were those two. What were they supposed to do now?

Staying in the classroom was a dead end, but forcing their way out left them no escape!

What should they do? What should they do? What on earth were they supposed to do?

“Although No. 03 isn’t here, the game still has to continue. Then…”

Just as everyone was frantic with anxiety, Head Teacher Liu’s gaze fell on the last row. Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes and switched titles before she could speak.

[Live Assistant 9999999: Title-Quiet Lone Ranger has been equipped. Equipping this title reduces your presence by seventy percent. Be careful, though. Do not use it for more than 30 minutes in a single day. Watch out, or everyone might forget you~]

Head Teacher Liu’s gaze paused on Qiao Yu for an instant, then landed on No. 04. “We’ll go by student number. No. 04, please come to the platform and draw a task slip.”

No. 04 froze. Seeing that he did not come up for a long time, Head Teacher Liu’s arm slowly stretched longer, and a venomous, cold light seeped from her eyes. “No. 04. Teacher is talking to you.”

At that, No. 04 shot to his feet, terrified that if he was even a second slower, Head Teacher Liu, who had already begun turning ghostly, would kill him.

He walked trembling to the platform and groped around in the cardboard box for a long time before finally taking out a slip under Head Teacher Liu’s urging.

He glanced at it. Then his gaze fixed on No. 15’s monkey-like face.

The lively No. 15 was now as silent as a gourd with its mouth sawed off. He did not even dare breathe loudly, his eyes filled with panic.

No one knew how long had passed before Head Teacher Liu suddenly reminded him, “You have one minute left.”

As soon as she finished speaking, No. 04 glanced at the red punishment box. In the end, he gave up on the idea of taking a gamble and walked toward No. 15.

Then, copying No. 14, he reached out toward streamer No. 15. With the previous example right there, No. 15 naturally would not sit obediently and wait for death. He grabbed No. 04’s wrist with a sudden jerk.

“Bro, I don’t have a choice either.” Seeing that he was not as strong as No. 15, No. 04’s eyes reddened with panic, and there was a pleading note in his voice.

So just because you have no choice, you’re going to kill me?!

No. 15 knew he had no desire to harm others, but he was not saintly enough to sacrifice himself for someone else either.

The struggle made time pass with agonizing slowness. Everyone watched the scene in front of them with lingering terror, but under Head Teacher Liu’s predatory stare, no one dared make a move. Fortunately, one minute was not long. Under No. 15’s strenuous resistance, time was finally up.

Head Teacher Liu stepped forward and pried No. 04’s hand away. Then she lowered her head to look at No. 15, who had neither spoken nor left his seat, and said to No. 04, “Time is up. You should draw your punishment now.”
