Chapter 39: Unbelievable Mission
After the noisy afternoon, it was finally night. I was eating in the cafeteria with Zhao Pengyu. The cafeteria was full of people, bustling and lively. While eating, I looked at the people around me and said, "I envy them so much. At least they don't have to worry about when they will die."
"Yeah, do you think this situation is only happening in our class? Why are other classes fine?" Zhao Pengyu said.
"This is what I'm wondering. Since the gatekeeper of the underworld is not Han Ziyu, why did he only come to our class? But now all the clues are cut off, and I can't find it." I said distressedly.
"Forget it, let's think about how to get through the next game. The tasks of the gatekeeper of the underworld are becoming more and more difficult. If you are not careful, you will die." I said.
"Yeah, I even suspect that the gatekeeper of the underworld is a psychopath. He always finds ways to torture us." Zhao Pengyu said.
"Yeah." I nodded, and then said, "From the beginning, the mission of the gatekeeper of the underworld was very simple. As long as we completed it, nothing would happen. But now, it has become more and more terrible. It even makes us kill each other. If this continues, we will all die."
"But how can we avoid it?" Zhao Pengyu said.
"There is no way to avoid it. For example, in the recent game of life and death, at least one person will die. This is already the minimum cost." I sighed.
"But have you ever thought that if this continues, the death toll will increase," said Zhao Pengyu.
While we were discussing intensely, Liu Ying came over, holding a lunch box, and said with a smile, "I hope I didn't disturb you."
"Not yet." I glanced at her, but I was very alert to her. Because Liu Ying is not an ordinary person. In the game some time ago, she was the murderer who slit the throats of He Wen and Cao Shuai. Judging from her modus operandi.
It was a one-hit kill, not giving the opponent any chance to breathe. This method was really terrifying.
When facing such a girl, no matter how beautiful she is, you cannot look at her with ordinary people's eyes, otherwise you will probably regret it.
This is what I think and what I do.
Seeing my alert look, Liu Ying smiled slightly, her peaceful face looked at me and said, "There's no need to be so afraid of me. I'm not your enemy."
"You are more terrible than my enemy." I looked at her and said without hiding anything.
Zhao Pengyu didn't understand what I meant. He didn't know that Liu Ying, who seemed like a girl next door in front of him, was actually the murderer who killed two people. He asked in confusion, "What's going on? Zhang Fan."
"It's okay." I said lightly, while eating, looking at her.
"You were really awesome today. You killed Li De so easily." Liu Ying said excitedly.
"It's OK." I said indifferently, looking at her with disdain: "Do you have something to ask me?"
"Nothing, I'm just very interested in you." Liu Ying said.
"But I have no interest in you." I said truthfully.
Liu Ying looked at me and said coquettishly, "Don't say that. I am a beauty after all."
"So what? If you have nothing else to do, you'd better leave." I said impatiently.
"Okay, I'll just say it straight. I like you." Liu Ying said.
Her words almost made Zhao Pengyu choke. He coughed a few times and then shouted, "No way, you're attracted to him."
"Yes, I like him, but it's not love. It's just that I think he can be my ally." Liu Ying said.
"Ally?" Zhao Pengyu was stunned. After a long while, he said, "So that's how it is. So, Zhang Fan, we are allies too, right?"
"We are brothers." I said, and then continued to eat. I didn't respond to Liu Ying's request for an alliance.
Liu Ying looked at me angrily and shouted, "Why are you so arrogant? Isn't it just a little smarter? It's no big deal."
After leaving the cafeteria, I went back to the classroom, and when I came back, I saw a group of people surrounding Zhao Wuji. Zhao Wuji was surrounded in the center and was boasting proudly.
"As long as you follow me, I promise that you will come to work in my company after graduation. Education is not a problem at all."
"What? You mean money? That's fine. As long as everyone listens to me, I promise to share the money."
Seeing Zhao Wuji boasting there, the people around him looked at him one by one, as if they were fantasizing about something. There was no doubt that Zhao Wuji had successfully won over most of the class. At any time, using money to pave the way was the best behavior, not to mention that the people in the class were all high school students who had not been exposed to society.
I was very disdainful of his behavior. Although he succeeded in winning over most people, so what? He still couldn't deal with the gatekeeper of the underworld. In the eyes of the gatekeeper of the underworld, we are just a group of reptiles. Even if we unite together, we can't defeat him.
Looking at the gatekeeper of the underworld in my mobile phone, I know very well that it will be a nightmare for all of us for some time to come.
The next day, I came to the classroom again. Everyone was already gathered in the classroom, and everyone was looking at their mobile phones, even Zhao Wuji was no exception.
I returned to my seat without a care in the world, then casually picked up my phone and said, "Has the mission not appeared yet?"
"It should be soon." Zhao Pengyu said.
While he was speaking, the task of being the gatekeeper of the underworld had already appeared.
"Zhao Pengyu, Mo Qingyu, Wang Qiang, Zhang Fan, and Mi Qiqi, five people, must steal something called a death record from the local police station within 24 hours. After successfully stealing and taking it out of the police station, everyone must survive. If they are not found within the specified time, everyone will be executed."
"What, stealing things from the police station." Zhao Pengyu said in horror, looking at the phone in front of him.
"It seems so." I said, looking away.
"This is troublesome. Going to the police station to steal things is like seeking death," said Zhao Pengyu.
"No, that's probably a good thing," I said, looking at him.
"Good news?" Zhao Pengyu looked at me strangely.
"As long as this mission is completed well, no one will die." I said, holding up a finger.
"That makes sense. Let's go together," said Zhao Pengyu.
Just as we were discussing, Mi Qiqi also found me.
"Zhang Fan, I'm leaving it to you this time." Mi Qiqi looked at me pleadingly.
"What do you mean?" I looked at her and asked.
"You are the smartest among us this time. You will definitely be able to get the death file." said Miqiqi.
"So what?" I said coldly.
"So can I not go? If I go, I will just cause you trouble," she said.
I shook my head and rejected her words. Then, under her resentful gaze, I stood up and said, "This mission requires five people, so everyone must go together. No one can be left behind."
