Chapter 14 Despair

Hu Dalei, attempting to break free and escape the classroom, felt a splitting headache. Then, with a bang, his head exploded. Countless black, tentacle-like lines surged out.

These lines writhed wildly, dancing greedily. After a dozen seconds, the eerie lines retracted into the outline of a human head, but its face had become a hollow black void.

"What exactly is this? A ghost, a spirit, or some other alien creature..."

Shen Wei was also very confused, completely unable to understand what these strange things were. Fortunately, they still abided by the rules of the game and did not attack people at will, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now, of the four people participating in the game, only two remained: Shen Wei and Wei Fang. Li Haiyang and Hu Dalei had died tragically one after the other, turning into those bizarre monsters.

"This Wei Fang isn't easy to deal with either. She probably obtained some information about how to crack this game. So, she took the opportunity to kill Hu Dalei. Now that there are only two of us left, her next target might be me..."

Compared to those strange line monsters, Shen Wei didn't really care about Wei Fang. He also guessed what kind of information Wei Fang had obtained. Someone, or some monster, must have told her that the game would automatically end when only one person was left. That's why Wei Fang seized the opportunity to kill Hu Dalei!

"Right now, Wei Fang and I are very far apart. She thinks she has me cornered, so she doesn't take me seriously. I can tell from her gleeful expression. But can you trust what those strange things say? Maybe those monsters are deliberately trying to dismantle us and cause internal division..."

A solemn look appeared on Shen Wei's face. The game of "pass the parcel" started again.

"Dong, dong, dong..."

The muffled knocking was very rapid. The rotten human head was quickly passed around twice before the drumming gradually slowed down.

"Based on the previous rounds, the drumming will last for about 100 beats. It'll be very fast at the beginning, then slow down a little during the last 30 beats. As long as I grasp the rhythm and speed, the rotten human head won't end up in my hands. I'll pass it on..."

Shen Wei thought to himself.

Although the ideal was grand, the reality was harsh. To survive, Wei Fang had completely gone insane.

"None of these guys are good people. Killing them won't be noticed by the police, because I'm not the one who did it. It's those monsters. They have no evidence. Haha, I'm definitely going to win this time. I will not die..."

Wei Fang's bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at the constantly passing rotten human head.

When the rotten human head was placed in Wei Fang's hands, she finally felt relieved.

"Shen Wei, I can't die. I still have several children. Blame it on your bad luck..."

Wei Fang held the rotten head tightly, refusing to let go!

"Wei Fang, pass it over quickly..."

Shen Wei's cold voice rang out behind her, but Wei Fang ignored him.

But to Wei Fang's surprise, Shen Wei simply said that and made no move to attack or persuade her.

Wei Fang was very puzzled. She quietly turned her head to glance at Shen Wei, but didn't expect Shen Wei to be sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, squinting his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep.

"That guy is full of tricks. What exactly is he up to?"

Although Wei Fang didn't understand, time passed by second by second. Wei Fang timed the moment the drumming was about to stop, then threw the rotten human head at Shen Wei.

"I'll live if you die. Don't blame me. This is the law of the jungle..."

A vicious smile appeared on Wei Fang's face. Then, she threw the rotten human head towards Shen Wei. The strange, rotten human head drew an arc as it fell towards Shen Wei's desk.

But something that Wei Fang never expected happened: a black book soared into the sky, hitting the rotten human head like a baseball bat just as it was about to land on Shen Wei's desk.

The rotten human head, struck with force, shot out like a cannonball and hit Wei Fang's head.

Wei Fang was struck so hard that her vision went black, and she couldn't even sit still.

When she regained her senses and picked up the rotten human head from the ground, the sound of knocking on the blackboard had already stopped.

"It's over. I violated the rules of the game. I was tricked by that kid Shen Wei..."

Wei Fang thought despairingly.

"This round of the game is over again. The losing student needs to be punished..."

The eerie student, only showing the back of their head, slowly turned around. Their terrifying appearance almost made Wei Fang's heart stop.

Because this strange female student with a ponytail didn't have any eyes! The original eye sockets were now two dark, black holes! Through those dark holes, Wei Fang could see some strange lines twisting and wriggling back and forth within her eyes.

Just as housewife Wei Fang was about to run away, countless strange black lines suddenly grew out of her fat body. These lines seemed to be alive, constantly waving and making faint noises.

She didn't know how long it took before the black, tentacle-like lines began to retract, but the current Wei Fang was completely different from the original her.

At this time, she had been completely assimilated and was no longer herself.

"The 'pass the parcel' game continues..."

As soon as the words fell, the eerie eyeless classmate began to tap the blackboard again.

This time, the rotten human head was passed around among the strange monsters even faster.

This made it difficult for Shen Wei to calculate where the rotten human head would end up! But Shen Wei didn't panic. When the rotten human head was passed to him again, Shen Wei kept the head for himself. He had learned this from those strange fellows.

He listened to the constant knocking sounds, completely unmoved, until the knocking sounds were about to end before passing the rotten head on again.

A few seconds later, the sound of knocking on the blackboard stopped again. This time, the one who lost the game was a strange student with a blurry face made up of black lines. He stood up and sang an equally terrifying nursery rhyme.

"Kid, you can tolerate this? Aren't these guys just bullying honest people? When the rotten human head lands in our hands, we'll be parasitized by them, but in their hands, it's just a performance. Hurry up and give me your remaining lifespan, and I'll help you blast these guys into ashes..."

Obviously, the Evil God Right Hand was still thinking about Shen Wei's remaining lifespan.

"No need. I've already found a way out of this game..."
