"Thank you so much. I will be your most loyal follower from now on." Henry said with admiring eyes as he looked at me. It was only natural. Without me, he would have been dead a long time ago.
"Mm-hmm." I nodded. I had deliberately helped Henry when he was in a desperate situation. In fact, I could have come up with the solution earlier. But I knew clearly that wouldn't work.
My grandmother once said, "When a person is starving to death, if you give him a liter of rice, he will regard you as his savior. But if you give him a bushel of rice, he might think, since you can afford a bushel, you can give me even more. Why don't you give me more? Then you become his enemy." That's how the old saying "a little kindness is remembered, but a lot is forgotten" came about.
So I helped Henry when he was most desperate, and he would be grateful to me for a lifetime. If I had helped him earlier, when he first voted, he would have been grateful, but soon he would have forgotten that gratitude. That's human nature.
"Boss, I've offended James now. What should I do if he wants to retaliate against me?" Henry suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, he doesn't have the guts." I shook my head and sneered, "Although James is all-powerful, don't forget that the voting power is in the hands of everyone. If he oversteps the mark, it will cause everyone to feel insecure. Then, as soon as there's a vote against him, he will be doomed."
"That's a relief," Henry said timidly.
"The game today is over. Let's go out." I looked at Henry and said. Then Henry and I walked out of the classroom. After each game ends, it's the leisure time for students.
Now many people have lost interest in studying, and even a few top students in the class are clearly not as focused on their studies as before. After all, in this environment where one can die at any time, no one has the mood to study.
The homeroom teacher is also giving up on managing this class because she has gradually realized the current situation of the entire class.
The entire Class 5, Grade 2, has gradually become a hell.
Outside on the playground, sitting with Henry, I looked at the girls' dormitory in the distance and pondered. Whether to challenge it again. I already knew the correct path to the stairs, and it would be easy to go in. Maybe I could find out something from inside.
But thinking about the terror of the girls' dormitory, I dismissed the idea. After all, the ghosts inside were too scary. Last time, before I even saw them, I was almost trapped to death. I don't want to go looking for death unless it's absolutely necessary.
Right now, my relationship with Diana is getting warmer, and I'm not going to go looking for death at this time.
After chatting with Henry for a while, we continued our investigation. There must be a big secret in this school. That was the conclusion I came to after countless considerations.
But when we inquired with the school staff, either they showed impatience or their faces changed slightly and then they refused to answer us, turning and walking away.
That way, for three whole hours, we didn't learn anything. Finally, we had to leave helplessly.
"This isn't going to work. Today's game almost killed me. If we don't find a way to end this game, we'll all die." Henry said with a pale face.
"Yes, we don't have much time left. We must seize the moment." I muttered similarly, there was at most one day left before the next option appeared.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
"Did you find out anything?" Diana came over to us with her hands behind her back and asked."Nothing," I shook my head helplessly. Diana's beautiful face didn't show disappointment, but smiled and said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal.""Is that so? Don't forget that this game can kill people," I said helplessly."
But there's no other way. If we die, then we die," Diana smiled. Her face was not fearful. She remained cheerful and said, "But for those who are still alive, we still have to enjoy every day."I was infected by her smile and nodded, saying, "Yes. No matter what, we're still alive.
"After a morning of investigation, there was still no progress. Until the afternoon, James came back with a gloomy face. This rich second generation probably smashed his father's car, and there were bruises on his face. It looked like he was badly beaten by his father.It's not surprising. This is a Bentley worth 10 million yuan. For ordinary people, it's simply impossible to buy it with a lifetime's savings. Following James, there was also a Taoist priest.
This Taoist priest was dressed in a Taoist robe, with a calm expression. James glanced at the students around him and then quickly said, "Don't worry, everyone. I've invited someone to catch the ghost. We'll be fine soon."
After that, he turned his head and said respectfully, "Taoist Priest, I'll leave everything to you."
"Alright," the Taoist Priest nodded calmly, indeed exhibiting the demeanor of a superior. Holding a compass in his hand, he walked carefully through the classroom.
The surrounding students watched the Taoist Priest with surprise on their faces, as all of them were nearly driven to madness by the curse in the classroom.
The arrival of the Taoist Priest was nothing less than a savior to them.
The Taoist Priest carefully walked around the classroom and then said with a grim face, "This school was built on a cursed ground, and this classroom is right in the center. This is a ghost eye. It's not surprising that such a curse occurred. If I'm not wrong, you are being haunted by a vengeful spirit."
"Vengeful spirit?" I couldn't help but ask, and the other students in the class also asked, "Taoist Priest, what is a vengeful spirit?"
"A vengeful spirit is a soul that died with hatred and resentment. They are different from ordinary ghosts, as they are born to kill. Every vengeful spirit is extremely terrifying and bloodthirsty. If it's not eliminated as soon as possible, all the students in this class will die," the Taoist Priest said calmly.
His words shocked the entire class, and James quickly said, "Then you should quickly perform a ritual to exterminate this vengeful spirit, or else we'll all be doomed."
"Of course, but the price will be quadrupled," the Taoist Priest suddenly said. James's face changed, but soon he gritted his teeth and said, "It's fine, quadruple it. But you have to ensure that you eliminate this vengeful spirit."
"No problem, I've been wandering in the world for decades. A mere vengeful spirit is nothing to me," the Taoist Priest sneered. Then he took out some items for rituals from his bag.
These included cinnabar, a peachwood sword, and talismans. There was a wide variety of items in total. After placing these items on the podium, he began performing the ritual. He picked up the peachwood sword and muttered some words.
Then he lit a piece of talisman paper, threaded it onto the sword, and waved it continuously. The magnificent scene stunned everyone. Everyone watched him eagerly.
The Taoist Priest did not disappoint us. After chanting a few times, he swung forward and cut. Then his face paled, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He slowly let out a sigh of relief and said, "I have fulfilled my mission. The evil spirit has been eliminated. You will no longer be in danger in the future."
"That's great, I won't go back on the agreed price," James happily came to the Taoist Priest's side and patted his shoulder. But just then, the Taoist Priest's face stiffened, and his skin turned extremely pale. Then his body suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Hey, old man, what's wrong with you?" James realized something was wrong and quickly patted the old man's face. But he found that the Taoist Priest's eyes were wide open, and he had stopped breathing.
"Is he dead again?" The surrounding students also quickly ran to the podium pinched the Taoist Priest's nostrils and shook him. But none of it worked. The Taoist Priest had collapsed on the ground, with no sign of life.
"He's dead," James let go and said.
The people around looked at each other, thinking that the Taoist Priest was their savior. But this savior had died so easily, making everyone feel somewhat absurd.
"Did this Taoist Priest die because he was killed by the vengeful spirit in our classroom?" George said.
"Yes, that's probably it. Absolutely right," Lilith replied with a pale face.
"It should be that his skills were too low, and he couldn't eliminate the vengeful spirit, so he was killed by it instead," Ivan walked over and said calmly, looking at the dead Taoist Priest with a completely indifferent expression.
