When I returned to the classroom, my classmates were very dull. No one made a sound. My arrival didn't cause a big stir. Everyone was pale-faced and thinking about something.

"Hey, Frank. I didn't expect you to dare to come to school. Didn't I say that? I can beat you once I see you." Ryan said with a sneer.

"You can try," I said calmly. But there was no fear on my face as I stared at him. Having experienced the darkness, I would definitely not have any fear.

Just like being stared at by a wild beast, Ryan glanced at me timidly, then turned around and sat silently on the chair. He didn't dare to look at me anymore.

Back at my seat, Henry old me a piece of news with a pale face: "Xiong Haiyan is dead."

"Oh, why did she die?" I couldn't help asking.

"She quit the group last night, but immediately her limbs stiffened, and she tore her own throat and died. Just like David." Henry shook his head and said.

"Now the rule is confirmed. You can't quit the group. Quitting the group means death." I said while pondering, but a realization appeared on my face. The rules of the group are becoming clearer and clearer in front of me. But the more they are revealed, the more it shows the cruelty of this survival game.

If the number of votes is the same, both will be executed. If no one votes, the mastermind behind the scenes will appear and start voting. From any perspective, this is an inescapable death.

But for some reason, I'm excited. Even I can't explain this excitement clearly. Classmates in the class are dying continuously, and everyone's spirit is on the verge of collapse. Amid fear and suspicion, everyone is waiting for the arrival of a new round of voting.

"Isn't it over? Why are there still people dying?" Henry said fearfully.

"Yes, the game should have ended. But I don't know when it started. It was restarted. Who is still maintaining the game?" I also murmured to myself.

There were only three people who entered David's house at the beginning. Among these three people, apart from me, Ivan. There was only Sophia. We saw with our own eyes that Ivan kicked all the people in the group out.

"It seems that as long as the group doesn't disband for a day, even if people are kicked out, it will recover instantly." Analyzing calmly. In my mind, I suddenly remembered the English letters written on the wall of David's room when I left. I still remember them vividly until now. Maybe a breakthrough can be found from there.

While thinking wildly, I suddenly saw Diana looking at me from afar.

I glanced at her calmly and then withdrew my gaze. Just then, my phone rang. It was from Diana.

"Are you okay?" Diana asked.

"I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me."

"Well, I'm very sorry about what happened yesterday. I didn't mean to say that. I didn't expect you to hear it."

"It's okay. It's just that I was being self-indulgent."

"Don't say that. It's all my fault."

"Hehe."

After I typed a "hehe", I put away my phone. Now my heart is extremely calm and will no longer be shaken by anyone. Diana made me understand that the more you care about someone and cherish someone. What you get in the end is often betrayal.

I risked my life to save Diana twice, but it made her think that everything was taken for granted. She might be grateful, but this gratitude won't last long.

A new round of voting is about to begin. The classmates around are getting anxious one by one. Some people look at their phones from time to time. They murmured and prayed that they weren't in the group voting.

I'm also waiting. Time passes minute by minute. All the classmates in the entire classroom quiet down. Only some girls are crying. Uneasy. Waiting for the appearance of the group voting.

Fear and unease shrouded the entire classroom. These days, I don't know how many classmates have died. Although we have witnessed death, we are all still high school students and are always at a loss in the face of this situation.

In the class group, the group voting arrived as scheduled. The cold characters carry a force that we can't escape.

One of the following two must be chosen. If the number of votes is the same, both will be executed.

1. Randomly select four people for a death-beast-fighting chess game.

2. The entire class conducts a killing game.

"It seems that we can only choose 1," I said with a sneer. Now the voting in the group is becoming more and more terrifying. People simply don't know how to choose. The only way now is to minimize the loss.

"Everyone choose 1. There is no other way." Sophia stood up and said. But no one listened to her. Since the three of us failed, Sophia's prestige has been sharply reduced. Now neither the boys nor the girls in the class are willing to follow Sophia's orders.

"Why should we listen to you?"

"Yeah, why? Just because you are the monitor?"

"Yes, who do you think you are?"

Sophia was a little at a loss. She clearly had good intentions. But looking at the questioning gazes of the surrounding classmates. She was so wrong that she was about to cry.

However, anyone with a clear mind knows that there is no choice now. So everyone chose 1 one after another. At the end of the group voting. The cruel death beast-fighting chess began.

David's account appeared in the group and started to release the game rules.

"Death Best-fighting Chess, select four players and randomly assign identities. Divided into the red and yellow sides. The red side has elephant, lion, tiger, leopard, dog, and five pieces. The yellow side has lion, tiger, leopard, dog, and rat five pieces."

"The level size of Death Beast-fighting Chess: Elephant > Lion > Tiger > Leopard > Dog > Rat."

"Special rule of Death Beast-fighting Chess, the same kind is a draw, only the rat can eat the elephant."

"Death Beast-fighting Chess, gameplay. Both sides place the pieces face-down on the table, then shout start at the same time, and then turn over their pieces to decide the winner."

"If it's a draw, both sides must throw the pieces into the adjacent stack. Then continue to play until one side wins. Then the game will start again. Best of three games."

"No cheating is allowed in this game. Cheating will result in death. And the loser will also be put to death."

"Randomly select players..."

"The players have been selected successfully. They are Ivan. Frank. Mars, Kyron."

"Identities and opponents are randomly assigned. Ivan is on the red side, and the opponent is Kyron on the yellow side. Frank is on the yellow side, and the opponent is Mars on the red side."

"The beast-fighting chess is in the drawer of the podium table. Please prepare to collect it. The duration of Death Beast-fighting Chess is six hours. Within six hours, those who do not participate in the game will also be executed."

"It seems we have to compete." I murmured to myself while looking at the rules in the group. There wasn't much fear on my face. Instead, Kyron and Mars, one by one, their faces changed greatly and they shouted tragically: "Why? Why were the two of us selected?"

The people around, seeing that they were not among the participants of the game, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Especially James, who shouted loudly and then directly led a few followers out of the classroom. Anyway, it wasn't him who was going to die. He didn't care about anything else. But the others didn't leave and all focused their gazes on us.

"It should be your bad luck." After Ivan finished speaking, he slowly walked onto the podium. Sure enough, from the drawer of the podium table, he found the Death Beast-fighting Chess.

These were pieces made of white bones, with words written on each one, such as lion and elephant. It seemed these were the pieces to be used for the Death Beast-fighting Chess.

"I'm on the red side. My pieces should be these." Ivan slowly held the beast-fighting chess in his hand. There were a total of five. The white beast-fighting chess pieces, I don't know what material they were made of. There was a strange paleness.

I also walked over slowly. I wasn't afraid of the game to be played next. Not to mention my opponent was Mars. Mars was one of James' lackeys.

He was among those who beat us up yesterday. This is a good chance for revenge. I also found my pieces. These pieces were very white, but the writing on them was blood-colored.

Each piece was exactly the same, looking similar to chess. But the words were various animals. A total of five pieces, lion, tiger, leopard, dog, and rat. These were my pieces.

In front of me, Mars also walked over. He got his pieces with a pale face. Compared to my pieces, he had one less rat and one more elephant.

Kyron said with a pale face: "My opponent is Ivan. No, I can't win."

"Come on, don't be so spineless. This is beast-fighting chess, not an arithmetic problem." Mars said while holding the beast-fighting chess in his hand. Just as he said, this kind of beast-fighting chess is just an educational game. With good luck, one can keep winning.

"That's true. Let's do it." Kyron said. While he was speaking, his legs were trembling. The whole person was shaking. Mars was the same.

After all, this was beast-fighting chess related to one's own life. One must not be careless at all. Because the slightest carelessness could be fatal.

The rules are very simple. As long as both sides have chosen the pieces to play. Then place them on the table and start together, and it's ready to play. Just like the beast-fighting chess we played when we were kids, it's quite simple.

Holding the beast-fighting chess tightly in my hand, my eyes kept rotating. My whole heart was lifted. This was a life-or-death confrontation. Once I lost, it would be over.

With such thoughts, even I had to be cautious.

"Come on, Frank. Let's play." Mars sneered, but the smile was a bit forced. I nodded and came to a desk with him, and then we sat face to face.

Each of us had five pieces in our hands. Now it was time for the first piece. People around all came to watch. Even Diana came to my side.

"Don't come near me. You will disturb me." I said coldly to Diana.

Diana didn't expect this attitude from me. Those eyes were wide open, looking at me in disbelief. There was some grievance on that delicate face.

"I just want to help you."

"There's no need. Hurry up and leave me. I'm annoyed with you." I said while waving my hand.
