Chapter 78: Surviving the Killing
Zhang Shuang followed me to the warehouse behind the school. Halfway through, he seemed a little suspicious. But I immediately told him that the girl was in front. Zhang Shuang followed me to the warehouse behind the school.
At this time, Zhao Pengyu, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed over quickly with a steel pipe. Seeing this, Zhang Shuang's face changed drastically, and he struggled to leave. However, at this time, I sneered, held a steel pipe in my hand, and hit him directly.
Zhang Shuang screamed and fell to the ground. But just as he was struggling to get up, Zhao Pengyu had already arrived in front of him. He was holding a steel pipe and started beating him.
However, I could see that Zhao Pengyu obviously did not use his full strength. Although Zhang Shuang's head was bleeding, he did not take any further action.
After a while, Zhao Pengyu took back the steel pipe and looked at Zhang Shuang hesitantly. He didn't say anything for a long time.
I walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said, "Hurry up and make sure he dies sooner rather than later."
"But suddenly, I don't want to kill him anymore. Although he bullied me, his crime does not deserve the death penalty." Zhao Pengyu said after hesitating for a moment.
"Oh, that doesn't matter. You're going to die soon anyway." I looked at him coldly.
"Zhang Fan, what do you mean?" Zhao Pengyu asked subconsciously.
"Let's check the group." I turned on my phone and said to him. When Zhao Pengyu picked up the phone, his expression suddenly became very colorful.
There are five contestants in this killing contest. The number of people killed by these five people is indicated in the group chat.
Among them, Liu Ying killed the most people, and he killed two people in such a short time. The next one was me. There was only one person. Apart from that, the other three people, Zhao Pengyu, Mo Qingyu, and Liu Meijia, did not kill anyone.
According to the rules, the last person will be executed. That is to say, three people will be executed, and Zhao Pengyu is one of them.
"How could this be possible?" Zhao Pengyu muttered to himself, his expression extremely ugly.
" The situation is now very clear. If you don't kill someone, you will die." I said with a sad expression.
Zhao Pengyu hesitated for a moment, picked up the steel pipe, and walked towards Zhang Shuang.
Zhang Shuang was already pale with fear after hearing what we said, and now he was looking at us and was about to attack us. He shouted in fear, "Zhao Pengyu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have bullied you. Please let me go!"
Who would have thought that Zhao Pengyu, who was still hesitating, would get furious after hearing his words: "You asked me to let you go? When you bullied me, I begged you so many times. Didn't you still beat me?"
At this point, Zhao Pengyu went crazy and smashed the steel pipe at Zhang Shuang. Zhang Shuang screamed and his body was covered with wounds. After a while, his begging for mercy gradually disappeared.
After a while, I grabbed Zhao Pengyu and whispered, "Okay, he's dead."
Zhao Pengyu then put down the steel pipe, threw himself into my arms, and cried loudly, "Zhang Fan, why are we doing this?"
"Because we have to survive. So we have to do this." I comforted him softly, with pain on my face.
We have lost so many things in this game, the most important of which is that most of us have lost our humanity. Even me.
If it was before, I would never do such a task. After all, I don't dare to kill people.
But this time, I did it, and I did it blatantly.
Zhao Pengyu cried and shouted, "Why is this happening? I don't want to kill anyone. I don't want to."
"Whether you like it or not, this is what happened." I sighed, then looked at the body on the ground and said, "Don't worry, someone will help us deal with it."
"But I killed someone. Will his parents come looking for me?" Zhao Pengyu looked at me and asked with a frightened expression.
"It shouldn't be, otherwise someone would have found me long ago." I said to Zhao Pengyu.
Zhao Pengyu nodded, and followed me back to the classroom. When we returned to the classroom, Liu Meijia suddenly stood up excitedly, pointed at the two of us and said, "You two murderers, the police will not let you go."
"So what? It's better than dying now." I looked at her, then said helplessly: "For us now, there is no other way except killing."
"There must be another way." Liu Meijia looked at us with a painful expression and said, "I won't kill people like you do."
"In that case, you'd better wish you good luck." I said and returned to my seat.
But to be honest, I was in a very bad mood. After all, I am not a perverted murderer. After killing someone, I felt extremely painful. This pain made me despair.
Zhao Pengyu, who was beside me, was crying and talking to himself. It seemed that he had not recovered from the huge shock.
To our surprise, Liu Ying was the calmest among us. Even though she had killed two people, her expression showed no sign of agitation. It was as if she had just stepped on a few ants.
This made me admire her, when it comes to ruthless methods, Liu Ying is definitely the best in the class.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed, and during this day, only Mo Qingyu and Liu Meijia did not kill anyone.
This also means that in the next two days, if they have not killed anyone, then only death awaits them both.
In this situation, Mo Qingyu was in a very bad mood. Her face was twisted from time to time, as if she was struggling with something.
I didn't think too much about it and just enjoyed the day to the fullest.
The next day, I didn't go to school, but went to Li Yutian's house.
Because I found something very strange, that is, so many people died in our class. Why didn't the parents know anything about it? It was as if they didn't know at all that their children were in danger. And after their children died, they didn't come to the school to make trouble. They didn't even investigate the truth.
This is the most surprising point, so I came to Li Yutian's home and found Li Yutian's parents.
Because I want to know clearly why they did not take action in the face of their son's death.
Who knew that when I walked in and explained my purpose, they were unwilling to let me in.
"Are you mistaken? I don't have a son at all." said Li Yutian's mother.
"But I clearly remember that it was you who came to our school." I looked at her and said.
"You must have remembered it wrong. I don't have a son at all." Li Yutian's mother shook her head and looked at me warily, as if she thought I was a scammer.
"Auntie, I really didn't lie to you. I still have the original photo here." I handed the photo to her. Who knew that after she saw it, she immediately closed the door. No matter how hard I knocked on the door, she just wouldn't open it.
At the same time, she threatened me that if I made trouble again, she would call the police.
This made me feel even more strange, so I subconsciously picked up my phone, but saw that the photos inside were empty. There was no one at all.
This made me stunned. I clearly remembered that I took a photo of her. But now the photo disappeared. What is the reason?
I was puzzled as to the reason, and after a long while, I turned around and left.
When I returned to the classroom, I was still troubled by this problem. Zhao Pengyu was obviously in a bad mood, and Xia Yuanyao was comforting him beside him.
"Don't be sad, it's all over." Xia Yuanyao looked at him and said.
"But I killed someone, I killed someone." Zhao Pengyu said with a pale face, and it seemed that he had not yet recovered from the blow.
"Don't worry, it's all over." Xia Yuanyao looked at him and said.
However, no matter what she said, Zhao Pengyu could not return to his original state.
Looking at his expression, I sighed helplessly. No matter what, only Zhao Pengyu can pass this level. I can't help him.
Up to now, the killing competition is still going on. But up to now, Liu Ying is still the first. Next is me and Zhao Pengyu . The other two have not killed anyone yet.
One of them is Mo Qingyu.
Seeing Mo Qingyu's tangled look, I shook my head and put her affairs behind me . No matter what, her affairs have nothing to do with me anymore.
At this time, Chen Lanyu came over, she looked at me gently, and asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"
"What can I do?" I asked back.
"But you killed someone, don't you feel guilty?" Chen Lanyu asked.
"Maybe, but it doesn't make any sense now." I said self-deprecatingly.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Chen Lanyu pulled my arm and said shyly, "No matter who you are, I am willing to be with you."
Seeing her serious face, I felt warm in my heart, then I took her hand, pointed at Zhao Pengyu and Xia Yuanyao, and said, "Walk with me, and leave some time for them."
"Yeah." Chen Lanyu said, turned around and followed me out of the classroom.
Looking at their backs as they left, Mo Qingyu seemed to have made up her mind.
For the next period of time, I took Chen Lanyu and walked on the playground like a couple, enjoying the rare peaceful time together.
Unconsciously, our relationship became closer and closer, and later, I put my arms around her waist and whispered in her ear.
"Zhang Fan, how long do you think we can live?" Chen Lanyu said.
“I don’t know.” I shook my head, thought for a moment and said, “The tasks of the gatekeepers of the underworld are becoming more and more cruel. No one knows how many people will die in the next mission.”
"Yes, it's a luxury for us to be alive." Chen Lanyu said, holding my arm and said gently: "Then are you willing to accompany me for the last time of my life?"
"Of course." I said, smiling and holding her hand.
