Chapter 91: Distortion of Human Nature
I was actually very clear about the situation in the class. Everyone's psychology had become distorted, and almost everyone was more or less different from their former selves. Even me was the same.
All this is not our fault, but is caused by the appearance of the gatekeeper of the underworld.
Since he appeared until now, he has issued countless bloody and cruel tasks, just like a cruel king, persecuting us crazily, forcing us to kill each other and kill others.
In order to survive, the once kind-hearted monitor raped a girl from another class.
In order to survive, Zhao Pengyu had to kill an unrelated person.
In order to survive, we may even do anything.
In this situation, as we gradually adapt, everyone changes. We become indifferent, selfish, and even cruel. Each of us is aware of this change, but we are powerless to change it.
Looking at the classmates in front of me, I lowered my head silently, thinking with mixed feelings.
The squad leader looked at us with a grim expression and said, "There is one last person, Zhu Gaoyi. If we kill him, we can end this."
"But the problem is, we don't know who Zhu Gaoyi is and which class he is in," Zhao Wuji shouted.
"I have found out which class he is from. How ?" the monitor said, looking at him.
Zhao Wuji hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. It seemed that he wanted to save his image. After all, most girls now looked at him with horror, simply thinking that he was a perverted murderer. Of course, in reality, his behavior was not much different.
"That's fine. He's in Class 4 of Grade 2. You go." said the class monitor.
"That's good." Zhao Wuji sneered and walked out. After he walked out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a good thing he went, otherwise no one would go." I said to Zhao Wuji.
"He did a good thing this time, but I still find it hard to understand his behavior. Kill people so he kills people. Why do he do such a bad thing?" Zhao Pengyu said with disgust on his face.
"Who cares?" I said coldly, with a look of disdain on my face.
I hate Zao Wou-Ki so much that if he didn't dare to provoke me now, I would have made him disappear from this world long ago.
While Zhao Pengyu and I were discussing this, Zhao Wuji suddenly walked in and yelled at the squad leader, “Squad leader, are you kidding me?”
"What's wrong?" the squad leader asked curiously.
"The Zhu Gaoyi you mentioned was indeed in that class, but his classmates told me that he died a long time ago," said Zhao Wuji.
"What do you mean he died a long time ago?" The squad leader was stunned for a moment, then looked at him and said, "Are you sure it's true?"
"Of course? I asked their class teacher, and he passed away more than a year ago." Zhao Wuji said.
"What? He's been dead for more than a year!" The squad leader was stunned for a long time, then shouted: "In that case, what does the gatekeeper of the underworld want us to do?"
"Who knows, Zhu Gaoyi died a long time ago." Zhao Wuji said.
"No, if that were the case, we should have completed the mission long ago." The squad leader frowned and asked, "Did you ask how Zhu Gaoyi died?"
"I heard that he died in the warehouse behind the school." Zhao Wuji said.
"Isn't that a haunted house?" someone suddenly shouted, and others echoed: "Yes, it is a haunted house."
Speaking of the haunted house, everyone in the school is familiar with it. There was once a serious campus violence there, which resulted in a boy being bullied to death. After his death, it was rumored that the house was haunted, so it was sealed up by the school.
If this is true, then Zhu Gaoyi is the one who died.
"This is troublesome. Zhu Gaoyi is not a living person." The squad leader frowned and said.
"In that case, what should we do? Zhu Gaoyi is already dead, and we can't kill him again." Zhao Wuji said with difficulty.
"Maybe Zhu Gaoyi is not dead." I suddenly stood up and said.
My words caused a shock, but the squad leader suddenly realized: "Yes, Zhu Gaoyi is very likely not dead, otherwise the gatekeeper of the underworld would not issue such a task to us."
"Then we have to find Zhu Gaoyi," I said.
"Zhu Gaoyi may be in that warehouse. It's not difficult to find him." said the squad leader.
"In that case, I need someone to cooperate with me," I said.
"You can pick anyone in the class, including me." The monitor said, pointing at the people around him.
I nodded, then looked at the people in the class. After a while, I decided to let Liu Ying, Tao Bolan, and Zhao Pengyu go with me.
Because it would be dangerous for me to go alone, but it would not be good if there were too many people, as it might alarm Zhu Gaoyi.
So just like that, the four of us headed to the school warehouse.
This place is like a restricted area of the school. Although I have been here many times, I acted very cautiously, and so did Liu Ying and the others around me.
Liu Ying looked at me dissatisfiedly: "Why did you let me come along?"
"Because among us, you are the best at killing people." I said to Liu Ying.
"Hmph, in that case, aren't you afraid that I will attack you?" Liu Ying said.
"That's after this game is over." I turned my head to look at her, then continued walking in the warehouse.
Just last time, I saw with my own eyes that someone was watching me through the window. And now this feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
I looked along the warehouse. It was deserted and didn't look like a place where anyone came.
I followed Zhao Pengyu and the others to the corridor and started to search carefully. There was dust everywhere and it looked like no one had been here for a long time.
"Be careful." I said and went to the bathroom.
This is where the tragedy happened. A boy was beaten to death, and the situation got out of control afterwards.
When I walked into the bathroom, there was dust everywhere, the windows were also gray, and the smell of copper rust entered my nose. Under such circumstances, I kept looking around.
Just then, I saw a pool of blood. There was blood everywhere. It seemed like something had happened before.
There were bloodstains on the walls and the ground. Judging from the amount of blood loss, someone must have died. Otherwise, a person who bled so much would have died long ago.
So could this person be Zhu Gaoyi? I muttered to myself, my eyes full of deep thought.
At this moment, Liu Ying suddenly shouted, "Someone is here."
I turned around and saw a masked man running through the corridor.
"Chase." I shouted hurriedly, and then took Liu Ying and the others to chase after them.
