Chapter 35 – Third Game

Su Yuan twirled his pen again.

There was a lot of information, but still not enough.

"Don't communicate with that class" and "Once you're involved, you can't get out"... So, does that mean "Spirit Grudge" really spreads?

It sounds like Class Ten is the source of an infectious disease.

And the middle-aged man also mentioned "Keep an eye on the surveillance."

It's class time now, so he definitely wasn't talking about the dormitory surveillance.

Could it be the surveillance in their classroom?

Su Yuan looked up at the camera above the blackboard, its red light blinking.

He felt he was just a step away from finding the answer he wanted...

Ye Haoyu, who had been holding back for a while, finally whispered, "Can we talk now?"

"Yes." Su Yuan nodded.

"Phew." Ye Haoyu let out a sigh of relief and said, "Old Su, I've been meaning to ask, you've been wearing those headphones all day, what are they for?"

"Eavesdropping," Su Yuan replied simply.

"Eavesdropping?" Ye Haoyu's eyes widened. "Who are you eavesdropping on? Are you playing spy now?"

Su Yuan didn't hide it, "Those two in the dormitory building."

"Those two guys?" Ye Haoyu suddenly understood, "They don't seem like good people to me either."

He leaned in closer, "Did you hear anything?"

"A little, but not much," Su Yuan said.

Ye Haoyu didn't want to think too hard, so he nodded, "Let me know when you hear more."

Two class periods passed quickly...

The students in the class were in completely different states during the day and at night.

During the day, they were passive and did nothing, filled with despair.

At night, their will to survive was rekindled, and they stared intently at the blackboard.

"Good evening, everyone."

Su Yuan glanced at his phone.

9:05.

Five minutes earlier than yesterday.

"Now starting the random selection of game types."

"Quiz Challenge"

"Team Collaboration"

"Team Competition"

"Casual Strategy"

"Fun Adventure"

"Treasure Hunt in a Locked Room"

"Doomsday Survival"

The red light flashed, and after a dozen seconds... the sign with "Treasure Hunt in a Locked Room" lit up.

"Now starting the random selection of participants."

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused.

"The participants for this game are: Su Yuan, Zhang Yang, Lin Yuan, Wu Chenfei, Gong Anshun, Yang Ruo, Xu Dan, Li Lei, Wang Hao, Deng Xin, Ma Honghu, Chen Yanan, Xu Yueyue, Wu Yuxin, Lian Yusi."

Everyone looked at the dense list of names, feeling a wave of dizziness.

Fifteen people?!

Wu Wentao's forehead broke out in cold sweat as he repeatedly checked the list on the blackboard.

After confirming five times that his name wasn't there, he slammed the table and stood up, "Fing hell, why are there so many people this time?!"

Wu Wentao originally wanted to thank Buddha and God, but noticing the unfriendly gazes from the class, he quickly changed his tone.

Everyone else started looking for their own names.

Su Yuan had it easy; his name was at the top, no need to search.

His younger sister crossed her arms and watched the show, "What bad luck, brother, picked twice in three games."

Su Yuan glared at her, lowering his voice, "You seem quite happy... Aren't you scared?"

"It's not me who got picked, why should I be scared?"

"But I got picked!"

"So what?"

This novel is available on "p𝑎wread.com".

"If I die, won't you?"

"I was already dead."

"Alright, you win." Su Yuan stopped paying attention to her and focused on waiting for the game details.

A treasure hunt with fifteen people in a locked room...

What kind of room can accommodate fifteen people?

And if everyone gets wiped out this time, adding to the previous seven, the class would be almost half gone.

And it's only the third day...

"If someone asks, what's the scariest place in Jiangyan No. 2 High School?"

"Without a doubt, it's Dormitory Building No. 3 after lights out, because a terrifying ghost roams there!"

"So the theme of this treasure hunt is: Dormitory Treasure Hunt."

"Rule 1: Players must survive at least two hours in Dormitory Building No. 3 after lights out."

"Bang"

A chair was violently thrown at the blackboard.

"Fing hell!" Wang Hao stood up, cursing at the blackboard, "You might as well have me commit suicide, this is worse than a direct punishment, I Fing..."

Other hot-tempered boys who were picked also stood up, taking turns cursing the bloody writing's mother.

"Rule 2: During the game, entering rooms 501-505 is prohibited."

"Rule 3: You need to find (Celestial Yang Earth) (Marsh Yin Wood) (Fire Yang Fire) (Fire Yang Wood) (Wind Yang Metal) (Thunder Yin Wood) (Fire Yin Water) (Marsh Yang Fire) (Marsh Yang Earth) (Celestial Yin Wood) (Wind Yang Fire) (Thunder Yang Metal) (Marsh Yin Metal) in the dormitory."

"If you don't find them within two hours, all participants will be eliminated."

"Note, rooms containing these items are safe, each room can safely accommodate up to three people, and the safety period is 45 minutes."

"Now is the preparation time, enter the dormitory building five minutes before lights out, you can freely choose the initial floor."

"What are these Yang Earth and Yin Earth things, what do we do?" Xu Dan pouted, on the verge of tears.

"Shut up! Crying won't solve anything!" Wu Chenfei shouted, interrupting her, then walked to the podium, "Participants, follow me to the playground, I have something to say!"

He paused, then added, "It's a matter of life and death!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately followed him out.

Before leaving, Ye Haoyu offered his last words of concern, "Old Su, come back alive... when you return, we'll..."

"Shut up!" Su Yuan quickly interrupted him.

If he let him set this flag, he'd be dead for sure.

It was still class time, and the group walked through the campus in a grand procession.

Soon, they arrived at the playground.

Wu Chenfei led them to a spot illuminated by a streetlamp and stopped.

He didn't waste time and got straight to the point,

"Everyone, I know what Heaven's Favor is!"

Everyone was shocked, and Wang Hao quickly asked, "What is it?"

Wu Chenfei didn't speak but placed his hand on the nearby wall.

Where Wu Chenfei's hand touched the wall, faint black smoke appeared, and a small section of the wall began to rapidly decay and mold, the plaster falling off, revealing the rebar and concrete underneath.

Wu Chenfei slowly withdrew his hand, "I can only demonstrate this much, my ability is limited, and if I use it all now, I won't be able to handle the game later."

"Everyone, this is Heaven's Favor, my ability is called: Erosion."

Everyone was dumbfounded, and after a while, someone finally spoke, "Is this a superpower?"

"You could say that." Wu Chenfei nodded.
