Chapter 36 – Heaven's Favor

Everyone simultaneously looked towards the stone tablet not far away.

[Heaven's Favor]

I saw the flickering candlelight in the wind—[Phase Shift]

I saw the flickering candlelight in the wind—[Erosion]

...

"So that's what it means..." Su Yuan murmured to himself and then asked, "When did you get this... [Heaven's Favor]?"

"When we lined up to go to the playground... I got it as soon as I saw the stone tablet from afar," Wu Chenfei recalled carefully before answering.

Xu Dan couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't you say anything earlier? Why wait until now?"

Wu Chenfei glanced at her, "Why should I have said it earlier? What benefit would it have brought me?"

"Besides, the Bloody Writing probably has intelligence and awareness. Everything we do in the classroom might be under its watch... What if it specifically targets people like me with special abilities?"

His reasoning was sound, but unfortunately, his luck wasn't great.

He still got picked.

"Erosion..." Zhang Yang looked at him, "Do you feel anything specific? Has your body changed in any way?"

"No particular feeling, it's like I suddenly just knew how to do it."

"As for physical changes..." Wu Chenfei suddenly punched the wall.

After a dull thud, a faint fist mark was left on the wall.

"My physical strength has also been enhanced a bit..."

"Wow, wow," Wang Hao walked up and touched the fist mark on the wall, saying enviously, "That's awesome, will we get something like that too?"

His words seemed to remind everyone, and Deng Xin quickly asked, "How can we get [Heaven's Favor]?"

"I don't know, it just happened suddenly..." Wu Chenfei said, "It's probably like chest hair, when it's time to have it, it just appears, and some people might never grow it..."

Having not paid much attention in language classes, he used a somewhat crude analogy, but it was simple and easy to understand.

After hearing this, everyone clearly showed disappointment on their faces.

Wu Chenfei continued, "Let's not dwell on this for now, I gathered everyone here for another reason..."

He looked around at everyone, speaking slowly, "I want to know, is [Phase Shift] among us?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, no one spoke.

Wu Chenfei was a bit disappointed, "Seems like no one got picked..."

Yang Ruo glanced at her watch and said softly, "It's almost 9:30, everyone, let's discuss tonight's game..."

Su Yuan looked at her; this was the first thing Yang Ruo had said since she cried earlier today.

"Do we even need to discuss?" Xu Dan stepped forward, wrapping her arm around Wu Chenfei's, and said, "With Wu Chenfei's amazing ability, shouldn't we all just follow him?"

Xu Dan held onto Wu Chenfei's arm, as if they were a couple.

But in reality, the two had no interaction on normal days.

Wu Chenfei glanced at her but said nothing.

"Who to follow... we can discuss later," Yang Ruo said, "After all, our task isn't just to survive two hours, we also need to find those things called... Celestial Yang Earth or something."

"Has anyone heard of these things?" Deng Xin asked.

Everyone shook their heads, and Li Lei held up his phone, "Not only have we not heard of them, I can't even find them on Baidu."

"This is a bit troublesome..." Su Yuan thought carefully about the rules but couldn't find a way out.

"These things should be hidden in the dormitories, with 14 rooms on each floor... combining both male and female dorms, there are a total of 140 rooms."

"And we can't rule out the possibility that these things might be hidden in wardrobes, balconies, or even under beds where they're hard to find, so even if we spend the whole two hours searching, we might not find them all..."

His words made everyone's already grim faces turn even paler.

"Hey." Deng Xin's mind turned, and he came up with a brilliant idea, "How about each of us is responsible for searching one floor? That way it's faster, and we can choose the floors in advance..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Xu Yanan, a short-haired girl, "Are you crazy? In this situation, if you act alone, you won't even know how you died!"

Zhang Yang also disagreed, "Don't forget, we not only have to find the items within two hours... there are ghosts in the dormitory! To put it bluntly, if someone dies, what happens to the floor they were responsible for?"

"Exactly, if you want to die, go by yourself." Xu Dan rolled her eyes at him, holding Wu Chenfei's arm tighter, "I'm definitely staying with Brother Fei!"

Deng Xin pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Zhang Yang's words reminded me." Su Yuan took out his phone,

"Let's create a WeChat group now, if anyone finds any items, if a companion dies, or if there's a rough location of the ghost, report it in the group."

Hearing Su Yuan casually mention death, Xu Dan couldn't sit still, "What do you mean? Are you really going to act separately?"

"Exactly, in this situation, everyone staying together is the safest..." Xu Yueyue said nervously.

Ma Honghu, who looked a bit simple-minded, scratched his head, "In horror movies, the ones who die first are usually the ones who are alone."

Su Yuan glanced at everyone calmly and said firmly, "Everyone, because the safe dormitory can accommodate at most three people according to the rules, I think the best way to allocate is in groups of three... Of course, this is just a suggestion."

They were all classmates, and he didn't want anyone to die for no reason.

But he couldn't go out of his way to save everyone; reminding them was already the best he could do.

After all, everyone chooses their own path...

Moreover, even if they followed his suggestion, it didn't guarantee safety.

Tonight, many were destined to disappear.

"I think it's better for everyone to stay together, so we can look out for each other..." Wu Chenfei, who hadn't spoken, finally said, "However, I won't force those who want to form their own groups."

"I'm definitely staying with Brother Fei!" Xu Dan immediately declared her stance.

Others also gathered around Wu Chenfei, expressing their positions.

Ma Honghu hesitated after hearing Su Yuan's words, but seeing more people on Wu Chenfei's side, he, lacking his own opinion, joined them.

After all, they were about to face a fierce ghost, and staying with someone with [Heaven's Favor] felt safer.

The only ones left standing were Su Yuan, Zhang Yang, Xu Yueyue, Yang Ruo, and Lin Yuan, who seemed absent-minded.

Undoubtedly, Su Yuan, Zhang Yang, and Lin Yuan formed one group.

Yang Ruo and Xu Yueyue, being just two girls, exchanged a helpless glance and were about to join Wu Chenfei's group.

Unexpectedly, Deng Xin stepped forward at this moment.

"Let's form a group of three," he said, looking intently at Xu Yueyue.
