Chapter 15
Chapter 15
“En, good friends should enhance their understanding of each other~”
“Thank you all for your cooperation!”
This game of Truth or Dare ended with Bai Yi’s satisfied speech. He waved his hand at the row of “air-dried sausages” hanging upside down in front of him with a bright smile. “So, see you next time~”
All the ropes fell instantly, and the uniform sound of falling into the water harvested the wailing and cursing, turning them into bubbles on the water surface.
Gurgle…Gurgle…
“Cough cough.” Bai Yi cleared his throat, lowering his voice.
[Souls filled with resentment and fear sank to the bottom of the water, spitting out malicious curses at the last moment of their lives.]
[But they can rest assured, this is not the end.]
[——The real game has just begun.]
In order to let them die in peace, Bai Yi even used such a narration to hint at the truth that they could start over.In fact, this was not the first round.
Apart from those games that could be cleared in one life, Bai Yi was not in a hurry to clear any game that could be saved and restarted.
Years of falling into nightmares had given him a wealth of experience. He often used the first few rounds to collect all the necessary information, made adequate preparations, and then struck decisively, perfectly resolving everything.
Therefore, in the real first round, Bai Yi was always observing. He collected information about everyone, even quietly followed Jingchuan and his group to figure out everyone’s whereabouts. Including how many minutes they stayed at each location at each time point.
When he was ready to end the first round, thinking of the task of “killing a person casually”, he casually picked Jingchuan who had just arrived home. Using the phone he had smoothly obtained from the girl Jingchuan had a crush on, he easily lured him out.
Then, he left him lying in the alley.
——Although there were many rough details in this, Bai Yi, who had no intention of achieving a high task completion degree in this round, just took a sheep on his way out.
Who would have thought that the sheep would come running so willingly :).
Everything was going too smoothly. Jingchuan’s over-cooperation even left Bai Yi without a place to kill and bury the body, so he had to start a hasty interrogation in the alley.
Then, after a series of ruthless operations, he pried a very suitable location from Jingchuan’s mouth.
——The long-abandoned old campus swimming pool.
Sure enough, didn’t he personally experience the secret location recommended by the other party in this round?
And he was the first one to experience it.
Bai Yi felt that he was really a kind person.
Leaving the swimming pool, Bai Yi was determined not to favor one and discriminate against the other. In addition to these eleven good friends who had already bonded with him, there were many classmates in the school who were only at the surface stage and needed to be understood more deeply.
However, dealing with those people didn’t need to be so troublesome. It could be done in a simpler and more brutal way——
Locked in an empty laboratory, a beautiful girl facing a skeleton specimen shivered and cried out:
“…Wuuu wuuu I’ve already told you about the time when I was eight years old and fell in love with a handsome little brother only to find out that he was actually a little sister. I’ve told you about not liking to brush my teeth at night, eating food, and liking to bite chopsticks. There’s really nothing else to say wuuu wuuu wuuu can I go now…”
Until she found that there was no sound outside the laboratory, the girl who tentatively ran over and easily opened the door had a stunned expression:… Are today’s suitors all so wild? They don’t bother to observe a girl’s preferences and directly interrogate the person involved?
The bookworm straight A student who was blocked on the way home from school faced the “quality” of the test paper that had been filled with words and was snatched away, showing a heartbroken expression, and surrendered before the other party’s “tearing ticket”. “Let’s talk it out, don’t resort to violence——”
The old-fashioned head teacher who always had sparse hair and cherished every strand of hair, found that he was tied up in the office by a mysterious person, his first reaction was to be furious and refuse to compromise.
Until he saw the shiny scissors approaching his head, he screamed in horror. “Ahhh don’t come over…”
…….
In the next few rounds, Bai Yi just slightly concealed his figure and face, so that people wouldn’t recognize him at first sight, and got the information he wanted to know from each person in the most direct way.
This method, which was too simple and brutal in reality and even full of loopholes, might not take long to be found by the parties and the police, but in a game that could be constantly saved and restarted, it was just the simplest and most efficient method.
He was immersed in this pleasant new type of friend-making game, taking Xu Dong’s class, sophomore year class seven, as the core, constantly radiating and spreading his “circle of friends”.
Until this circle spread to the gatekeeper.
Bai Yi walked out of the gatekeeper’s room lightly, with a happy expression full of harvest, and as soon as he turned his head, he met a pair of round and pitch-black eyes.
The cat squatting on the windowsill spread out its round belly, its eyes like glass beads curiously looking at the bipedal beast that suddenly came out, its long tail flicking up and down.
“Meow~~~”
“Look what I found?” Bai Yi stretched out his hand with lightning speed, instantly grabbing the back of the cat’s neck, its destiny. He lowered his head in response to its fluffed-up fur, revealing an evil villainous smile, as if he would choose to kill the cat and silence it in the next moment, “There’s actually a cat that slipped through the net~”
The cat was greatly startled, “Meow!!”
Bai Yi shook it. “Yo, it’s quite energetic.”
He began to ruthlessly interrogate the dizzy cat. “Confess, your name, origin, what you heard hiding here, how many small dried fish will it take to bribe you?”
…….
[Achievement system has been refreshed.]
[You have achieved the “Kill eleven people in half a day” achievement.]
[You have achieved the “Master of the Melon Field of Qingnan High School” achievement.]
[Note: From the fifty-year-old gatekeeper to the five-month-old kitten, you have “interrogated” them all. Cold-hearted, ruthless. You have become the man who holds the secrets of everyone in Qingnan High School.]
At the moment of choosing to save and exit, the stars scattered, the deep sea engulfed everything, and lines of text refreshed.
A question mark popped up above Bai Yi’s head. “…?”
…Forget it, won’t bother with this silly system.
Having played with the cat for half a day, Bai Yi, who almost broke the cat, was in a good mood at the moment and decided to be magnanimous for a while.
Today there was wind outside, the sky was somewhat gloomy, it looked like it was going to rain, Bai Yi put on a coat and went downstairs to pick up the express delivery, and found that the vegetable and fruit shop not far away was open.
However, probably due to the impact of the car accident, the business was far from as good as before, and at this time, there was no one.
He carried the express delivery and strolled over, as usual, greeted the boss lady who was sitting in the shop in a daze, and asked. “What fresh vegetables do you have today?”
The boss lady, who had been in a daze, came back to her senses and forced a smile. “Ah, it’s Bai Yi. Today’s bok choy is quite fresh, you see if you want to get some…”
“Then I’ll take the bok choy.” Bai Yi went with the flow, and casually picked a few other vegetables.
When paying the bill, probably because Bai Yi’s attitude was still the same as before, unlike some people who always looked at her and whispered, or tried to ask about her husband’s situation in a roundabout way, the boss lady’s smile became much more genuine.
She casually chatted with Bai Yi.
“By the way, how come I haven’t seen you go out for several days?”
“I’ve been too lazy to go out recently, just staying at home playing games.”
Bai Yi raised his eyebrows, answering with a chuckle.
“What game is so attractive? You young people still need to take care of your health…”
“It’s a game with multiple saves, looks like it can be played for quite a few days. The NPCs are all interesting, I really like it, it’s even more fun when ‘eliminating’ them~”
“Oh oh oh, I get it. I’ve heard of it, is it called something like ‘eliminate’, Happy Elimination, right?” The boss lady suddenly realized, and mumbled doubtfully, “But does that game have those NPCs?”
Bai Yi, holding the express delivery in one hand and taking the vegetables with the other, didn’t forget to nod. “Yes, yes, it’s Happy Elimination. The elimination process is full of variety, so happy, so joyful!”
He went upstairs with his bags and parcels, reopened the nightmare game, and entered the so-called “Happy Elimination”.
The moment he woke up, the familiar narration slowly appeared, just like every other time.
But this time, the content of the narration changed——
[You were born a devil.]
[Under your seemingly ordinary appearance, hides a restless, uneasy heart that disregards all laws and regulations.]
[You suppress it, trying to make yourself fit in.]
[Rather than being insulted and ridiculed by others, being treated as a joke, a piece of trash, becoming a little bit of fun in their boring lives, you would rather put on human skin and stand among the crowd of ordinary people.]
[But you know, you’re not like them.]
[You endure the pain, until the beast bursts out of your chest.]
[——It’s time to make a change!]
[Task 1: Kill a person at will, prove your courage.]
[Task 2: Complete a wonderful murder, prove your wisdom.]
[Task 3: Manipulate others to complete an unexpected murder, break away from the crowd of ordinary people, and prove to the world——you are an existence far superior to them!]
