Su Yuan, who was watching the scene unfold, instinctively wiped his forehead, finding it covered in sweat.

The classmates all breathed a sigh of relief, their faces lighting up with excitement.

Ye Haoyu gave Song Xiaoxia a thumbs-up. If the rules allowed, he would have shouted, "F***ing awesome!"

Even though he couldn't understand it, he just felt it was incredible!

The four "kids" in the center of the room looked like they had narrowly escaped disaster.

Song Xiaoxia's legs were trembling slightly, and beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks.

"Just hold on a little longer... I want to live."

A line of bloody writing appeared on the blackboard.

[The fourth round is about to begin!]

The fourth round was the final one, with no room for error.

Once it ended, everything would be over, but any mistake would mean all previous efforts were in vain.

Song Xiaoxia got into position, ready to face the changes in the music.

Would this round be faster or slower?

Or would it get even faster?

The music started.

Everyone in the classroom instinctively held their breath.

The four in the center looked utterly hopeless.

This round had no lyrics!

No, it wasn't that there were no lyrics, but the voice was very faint, like someone murmuring softly, whispering.

Moreover, the sound of the accompanying music was amplified.

No one could clearly hear the lyrics.

But Song Xiaoxia let out a long breath, slowly moving her steps.

At the same time, she began to sing.

"Drop the handkerchief, drop the handkerchief, gently place it behind the little friend, everyone don't tell him..."

Unlike the eerie, hollow voice from the broadcast before, Song Xiaoxia's gentle and sweet singing hit every note perfectly, echoing through every corner of the classroom like a trickling stream.

Time flew by, and half of the song had passed, with the instrumental part arriving.

Up to this point, Song Xiaoxia hadn't made a single mistake.

The game was almost over.

The classmates were flushed with excitement, ready to cheer for Song Xiaoxia.

If Song Xiaoxia could win today's game, she wouldn't just save herself and the other four; she would also bring hope to everyone!

The supernatural wasn't invincible; as long as the game was completed, everyone would be fine!

Everyone felt as if Song Xiaoxia's silhouette was glowing...

But in the next second, the light vanished.

The brightness before their eyes disappeared instantly, as if someone had suddenly covered their head with a sack while they were walking on a well-lit road.

Am I blind? Su Yuan's first reaction was.

But he quickly dismissed the thought, because he could vaguely make out the panicked faces of his classmates around him by the light from the streetlamp outside the window.

The classroom had lost power?!

Why now?!!

Faced with this sudden change, everyone remembered the rule of not making a sound and remained silent.

Only Song Xiaoxia's intermittent singing and footsteps could be heard in the classroom.

The conditions for this final round of the game were extremely harsh, with absolutely no room for error.

A mistake meant death.

Of course, there was one possibility: blindly stumbling around and, by sheer luck, ending up at position four at the last second of the lyrics.

This was the method Song Xiaoxia was using.

From the moment the lights went out, her lyrics and steps were all over the place.

In the darkness, she lost her sense of direction, and the numbers in her mind began to blur.

She couldn't see anything and could only try to take large steps, ensuring each step crossed a square.

To avoid stepping out of the circle, she tried to keep her body within it, accidentally stepping on someone sitting inside and nearly falling.

Song Xiaoxia's mind was in chaos.

What part of the lyrics should I be singing now?

How many steps have I taken?

Which position am I standing on now?

Why did the power go out at this moment?

Am I going to die?

No, the song isn't over yet; there's still a chance...

Maybe I can find the rhythm again, or maybe when the song ends, I'll just happen to be behind Tian Yu, I've always been lucky, always...

"Crash"

At that moment, a sudden change occurred, with a loud sound of shattering glass.

By the moonlight, Su Yuan saw a dark figure break through the classroom window and, with great momentum, crash into a classmate not far from him.

The female classmate fell to the ground, letting out a scream.

Su Yuan felt his mind go blank, a buzzing ringing in his ears.

Meanwhile, the song from the broadcast ended, and the classroom lights came back on.

Song Xiaoxia stood in place, staring blankly at the red handkerchief at her feet.

It had fallen behind Ye Runhai at position two.

[Game Over]

[Due to an outside player violating rule seven, and the handkerchief not being behind player Tian Yu after four rounds, the game failed!]

[Punishment: Players Xia Shiyuan, Tian Yu, Song Xiaoxia, Wu Bin, and Ye Runhai, please leave the dormitory after lights out. You will be reunited with your family members forever!]

[Oh, by the way, since player Li Ge was absent during tonight's (selection phase), he will also face the punishment.]

"You f***ing!" Tian Yu got up from the ground, his eyes bloodshot, and walked towards the female classmate who had just screamed.

"Tian Yu, calm down!"

Led by Zhou Yulong, several male classmates rushed forward to hold him back.

With Tian Yu's explosive temper, he might do anything in such extreme circumstances.

Everyone had seen Song Xiaoxia's efforts; the game's failure wasn't her fault.

Tian Yu could only vent his anger on the rule-breaking female classmate.

The female classmate, named Xu Yueyue, was so frightened by Tian Yu's murderous look that she kept moving backward, crying out, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Something flew in from outside the window, if I hadn't closed my eyes quickly, I'd be blind, I really didn't mean to... sob sob sob."

Xu Yueyue was crying while covering half her face with one hand, blood continuously flowing from between her fingers.

Hearing her words, everyone snapped back to reality, recalling the unidentified object that had flown into the classroom.

Everyone began to search the ground, and soon, Qi Yinhong pointed beside Xu Yueyue and shouted, "There it is!"

After speaking, Qi Yinhong crouched down, took a closer look, and said with an incredulous expression, "It's a bird?!"

Lying on the ground was a bird's corpse, smashed beyond recognition, its sharp beak stained with blood.

"It's a turtledove," said a bespectacled classmate after glancing at it. "These birds don't usually appear at night, let alone in the rain, and how could it..."

The bespectacled Li Lei turned to look at the window, now shattered like a spider web...

First, there was an inexplicable power outage, then a bird launched a kamikaze attack on the class?

Why did the world become so absurd overnight?

Held by several people, Tian Yu's body went limp, despair written all over his face: "Why is this happening?"

"Is this your doing?" Xia Shiyuan shouted angrily at the blackboard, "You make the rules and can't even play by them, you're really f***ing despicable, damn it!"
