Chapter 115: Merits

Du Bai and Gao Ming looked at their phones. In just one class, there were more than hundreds of messages sent in the chat group. Gao Ming scrolled up and finally understood the reason. English representative Qian Junran brought a few boys to the ball court. They wanted to find the joy of youth again. They had just changed into their clothes when the oldest classmate, Cao Song, suddenly saw someone standing at the third-floor window of the office building. It looked like Zuo Bo.

He hugged the basketball and waved at him. Zuo Bo responded. However, he saw another Zuo Bo, in a patient’s garb, appear behind Zuo Bo!The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

The hand froze. Cao Song wanted to warn Zuo Bo, but then he saw something he’d never forget. Zuo Bo, in the patient’s garb, took out a knife and stabbed it into the normal Zuo Bo’s chest. Blood splattered on the curtain and Zuo Bo’s face. Only a pair of struggling hands remained at the window.

The basketball fell to the ground. Cao Song was stunned. The others shook him for a long time before he came to. He shouted to tell everyone what he had seen. They didn’t even change and hurried to the office building. When they rushed to the crime scene, Zuo Bo and Zuo Bo’s dead body were gone. There was no blood stain, but a piece of the curtain was cut off.

Cao Song shared this incident in the chat group. The students started to discuss it. They also started to discover many strange things at the school. Some wished for Zuo Jun to give them an explanation. However, no matter what they asked, Zuo Jun would only reply, “Have a nice time playing!”

The repetition was scary. More students wanted to leave. They tried the school entrance, but no matter what, they’d return to the school. The joy of reunion was replaced by fear. Some scolded Zuo Jun in the chat group, but that didn’t change anything.

When everyone was panicking, Qian Junran and Xuan Hui stood forward. They gathered the students to share their findings. The hostel and canteen were closed. Most didn’t dare to go to the math building and office building. They chose to meet at the school hall.

“We should go there too.”

At 3 pm, Gao Ming and Du Bai entered the school hall. Many were already there.

“This way!” Wang Jie waved at Gao Ming. After Du Bai and Gao Ming sat down, the four of them shared the code while casually chatting. After making sure none of them had been swapped, they sat at the hall entrance. They were ready to run if there was any danger.

At 4 pm, no one else came. Xuan Hui closed the hall door and did a head count. The class had 50 people, but only 32 came. It was unknown whether the rest was trapped or killed.

“You are so selfish, Xuan Hui!”

“How can you hide this from us?”

Xuan Hui’s face darkened from the accusations. “None of you have the moral high ground! Zuo Jun told me that even if I didn’t cooperate, you would come here regardless because every one of you has a reason to be here!” Xuan Hui’s eyes turned scary. “Some of you are crazy. Some of you are gamblers with a huge debt. Some of you are adulterers. There are even murderers!”

“What the fuck are you talking about?” Cao Song stopped Xuan Hui from continuing.

“You know what I’m talking about.” Xuan Hui picked up his clothes. “Everyone here has their own secret. I am not interested in your secrets. I just want to leave. If you trust me, good. If you don’t, I don’t care either.”

The hall was silent. Since no one spoke, Qian Junran walked to the centre. “Everyone, we are old friends with decades of history. We’re trapped here and might face unknown dangers. There is only one path before us, and that is to work together to escape this place alive!” Compared to Xuan Hui, Qian Junran’s words were accepted more easily.

“We will split into different groups according to the sleeping arrangements and move in small groups. We’ll collect info and find the escape routes.”

Class 13 had four male hostels, four female hostels and Room 1315, which was a mixture of Class 13 students and students from other classes. Qian Junran used this as the foundation and placed his management skills on it. He added a few slogans and felt good about himself. After he was done, he even turned to the door like a proud cock.

“Are you done?” Liu Yi took the stage coolly, “Get off the stage if you’re done. We don’t have time to waste.”

Qian Junran still had a speech, but Liu Yi took out a few bloody textbooks and dropped them on the table. “I found two methods to leave the school. The first is to earn 100 merits. One class can earn you one merit, but the classes are very dangerous.” “What is the second method?” Everyone’s attention moved from Qian Junran to Liu Yi.

“The second is...” Liu Yi hesitated and took out her phone. “This is a picture I took in the fourth cubicle on the fourth floor’s female toilet at the education building. It says that you can graduate for real if you can kill 100 living humans.”

“Kill 100 humans?” Gao Ming’s pupils trembled. The two graduation methods were meant for two kinds of people.
