Chapter 86 Death is approaching
Wang Qunzhe died just like that, and his death did not let us get over it. Everyone was thinking about who the killer was. Faced with this situation, I looked at the squad leader and then secretly chose to check.
Because I suspected that the squad leader was most likely the killer. Otherwise, he wouldn't have exposed so many police officers. But after I checked, I found that the squad leader was a civilian.
It seems that he is not the killer, so the killer must be someone else. So who could this person be?
I looked at the classmates around me, and my mind was lost in thought. In any case, the killer successfully hid himself and escaped our sight, so we ended up executing Wang Qunzhe, who was not the killer.
This is very embarrassing. If this is the case, he will kill someone again tonight.
I can't go on like this, or sooner or later, it will be my turn.
You know, the killer's killing is not without pattern. He killed the police first, because in the killer game, the police are very restrained by the killer. Besides, the biggest threat to him is me.
My reasoning ability was obvious to the whole class, and it saved the whole class several times. It could be said that it killed me. It became impossible for others to find the killer's trace.
Just when I was thinking hard, the monitor found me and we went to the outside of the playground.
"I'm sorry about what happened just now. I shouldn't have doubted you." The squad leader looked at me and said.
"It's not your fault. You did it for the sake of our survival." I looked at him and said, "The most urgent task now is to find the killer."
"Yes, this is the most important thing." The squad leader looked at me and pleaded, "Do you have any solution?"
"Yes," I said.
"What method?" asked the squad leader, his eyes lighting up.
"Who do you think the killer's target will be tonight?" I said to the squad leader.
"It's the last policeman." The squad leader said excitedly.
"That's right, the last policeman." I looked at the squad leader and said with a smile, "In the killer game, the police are the most threatening to the killer. As a result, you exposed four policemen. Three of them are dead now."
"I didn't think that much at the time." The squad leader said with a pale face. His body was shaking and he cried out in a sobbing voice: "I know I was wrong. If it weren't for me, the three of them wouldn't have died."
"Actually, this has its benefits." I looked at the squad leader and said.
"Benefits, what benefits can there be?" the squad leader looked at me and asked.
"It's simple, the killer must eliminate the police first. So as long as we protect the police, we can find the killer." I said with a smile.
"That's right, the killer will definitely attack the police tonight. We just need to design an ambush and we can find him." The squad leader said excitedly.
"That's it, let's take action tonight." I said to the squad leader.
So in the afternoon, we found the policeman and explained our purpose to him.
The student was naturally very excited and was willing to cooperate with our actions as long as his safety was guaranteed.
So it was decided, and the three of us first bought the weapons.
Each of us held an electric baton in our hands, which was prepared to subdue the killer at close range. In addition, we were also equipped with other weapons. In short, we wanted to lure the killer out and bring him to justice.
So in the afternoon, we let the policeman wander around the playground and not return to the classroom. Then we lay in ambush nearby, waiting for the killer to appear.
But after waiting for a long time, the sky gradually darkened, and we still didn't see the killer. But I had enough confidence that the killer would definitely appear.
The student was walking alone on the playground, looking around with vigilant eyes. In his hand was an electric baton. If anyone approached him, he would strike in an instant.
Not far from him, the squad leader and I hid in the darkness. We both stared at him and looked around at the same time.
There was no one in the dark playground, it was empty and extremely lonely. At this time, we dared not be careless.
Because it is dark, that is when the killer takes action. This is the rule of the killer game. The killer can only act at night. This also means that the killer is bound to appear.
As we watched vigilantly, a man suddenly walked into the playground. Looking at this man, the monitor hurriedly shouted: "It's getting closer, it's getting closer. It should be him."
"Let's wait a moment. When he comes, we'll go together." I said excitedly.
"Okay." The squad leader nodded, looking at the man in the distance, holding a stun gun in his hand, ready to rush over at any time.
But to our disappointment, the man in the distance did not seem to be the killer. He did not come towards us, but turned and went to the toilet.
"Damn it, it was all for nothing." The squad leader cursed.
"Be careful, the situation is very troublesome now." I said to the squad leader, his face full of vigilance.
It was dark now, and the playground was even darker. This was a good opportunity for the killer to act. But why didn't he act?
Had he seen through it all? Or was the police not his target?
For a moment, my mind was full of thoughts, but at this moment, I suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing. Then the boy not far from us suddenly struggled, as if he had encountered something.
I hurriedly looked over to him, but I saw an extremely horrifying scene. Behind the boy was a dark figure. I couldn't see its face. I could only see it pinching the boy's neck and tearing it apart desperately.
"Something's going on." The squad leader shouted, and then rushed over to him. I also rushed over.
Who would have thought that when the two of us rushed over, the black shadow did not leave, but instead tore at the boy's neck even more fiercely.
When the squad leader rushed over, the shadow looked at us, then turned and left. His speed was beyond imagination, just like an afterimage, he disappeared in an instant.
Looking at the dark shadow leaving, I immediately turned my gaze to the boy in front of me.
The boy was already dying, but his face showed genuine fear.
I looked at him who was dying, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Who is that person? Who killed you?"
The boy opened his mouth and was about to speak, but blood kept gushing out from his neck. Soon his body fell to the ground, motionless.
I stared at the scene in front of me numbly. After a while, I said, "I understand. So this is what happened."
"What's going on? The killer just now was too fast." The squad leader said in surprise.
I looked at the squad leader and muttered, "This killer is not a human being at all."
"It's not a human! Could it be a ghost?" the squad leader said in horror.
"That's right, no wonder Song Wenzhi said such words when he was dying. It turns out that he had known for a long time that the other killer was not a human, but a ghost. Therefore, no one could stop him from killing people." I said with a self-deprecating look on my face.
"Since the killer is a ghost, what should we do?" asked the squad leader.
"It's impossible to deal with him. The only way is to find out the ghost's true identity and then identify him." I said to the squad leader.
"So that's what happened. It's just like the traitor last time. The killer we want to identify this time is also a ghost." said the squad leader.
"Yes, last time it was Li Guomin, this time we have to face another dead person probably." I said in a calm voice.
"The power of the gatekeeper of the underworld is too terrifying. He has once again placed ghosts among us." The squad leader sighed.
"But although we are sure that the killer is a ghost, we don't know who he is." I said with a frown.
"According to the last ghost game, this ghost should be our dead classmate." said the class monitor.
"But the problem is that there are more than twenty of our classmates who died. It is extremely difficult to find the killer among them." I shook my head and said.
"Yes, after all, too many of our people have died in these days." The squad leader said with a melancholy look on his face.
"In that case, I have no way of judging who the killer is. After all, we only have one chance every day," I said.
"We have to try it, otherwise we can just randomly pick someone." said the squad leader.
"This is like looking for a needle in a haystack." I shook my head and said.
"What should we do then?" the squad leader couldn't help but ask, his face full of anxiety.
I shook my head, feeling confused. Because I didn't know who the killer was. Although I could conclude that the killer was a ghost, the problem was that even if the killer was a ghost, I didn't know which ghost it was.
You know, more than 20 of our classmates have died and have turned into ghosts. With the power of the gatekeeper of the underworld, they will come back and live with us.
It is too difficult to find the hidden killer among more than 20 people.
But other than that, we really have no other options. Now we have discovered that the killer is a ghost. Therefore, the killer will get rid of us as soon as possible.
Judging from the fact that the killer kills one person every night, the person he is going to kill tomorrow night will either be the squad leader or me.
I was helpless in the face of his mysterious killing methods. After all, the power of ghosts is something that humans cannot resist.
The fully armed boy just now died in the hands of the ghost in just a moment. The speed of the ghost is obvious.
Now death is approaching me step by step, I must find a way to survive, otherwise only death is waiting for me.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow we must find the identity of the killer, otherwise tomorrow night, one of us will die." I looked at the squad leader and said.
The monitor nodded heavily, and then said goodbye to me. As for the bodies on the playground, we don't need to deal with them, someone will help us deal with them.
