Chapter 29: Bloody Classroom

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

The saw blade cut straight through Zhang Chao’s body. His organs, brain matter, and intestines spilled all over the floor.

Sun Yu coughed up blood and bellowed savagely, “You actually set me up. I was a fool to treat you like a brother. Ha! A brother? Is that what brotherhood is? Damn nonsense...”

“Pfft...”

That shove had already drained away his last strength. Zhang Chao could no longer hold on. Blood burst from his chest like a ruptured pipe. His eyes flew wide open, filled with remorse. He should not have died. He should have been able to survive this game. It should have been that way. It was supposed to be that way...

“I can’t believe those two ended up killing each other!” Zhang Xiaofan was utterly stunned. Everyone in the classroom stared at the scene in shock.

“Die!”

Ma Yongxiang and Xu Zhong had never had much to do with each other, but after seeing Zhang Chao’s miserable fate, the two of them almost simultaneously exerted all their strength with ferocious determination.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

The saw blade spun madly. Both men were practically using every ounce of strength they had, each determined to send the other to a miserable death.

At this moment, they stood at the very threshold of life and death. Any moment of carelessness would let the spinning blade tear a person clean in two.

Their strength was clearly about equal. The blade lurched slightly to the right, then slightly to the left, making everyone in the classroom watch with their hearts in their throats. But Xu Zhong was obviously beginning to tire. His face flushed bright red as he roared, “Ah, go on and die...!”

Ma Yongxiang shouted at almost the same time, veins bulging across his forehead. As time passed, the two of them remained locked in an exhausting stalemate.

The third pair was Sun Lei and Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua had clearly fused with some kind of powerful physique, while Sun Lei had previously bought an item. Now he was filled with regret. If only he had fused with a physique too. Compared with Zhang Hua, he was plainly no match in strength.

“I’ll give you five minutes. Say your last words,” Zhang Hua said disdainfully, glancing at Ma Yongxiang and Xu Zhong, who were still deadlocked.

“Zhang Hua, I like you.”

No one expected Sun Lei to say that at all.

The students nearly dropped their eyes to the floor. They had seen shameless people before, but never shamelessness on this level.

Still, Sun Lei had nothing left to lose. “I like you. I love you, Zhang Hua. Don’t let me die. We can be together.”

“Oh? I never thought you’d like me,” Zhang Hua said with a sigh.

Sun Lei’s face lit up. “Yes, yes, I like you. That Zhou Liping is nothing. He doesn’t deserve you. So accept me.”

Zhou Liping burst into curses. “Sun Lei, you son of a bitch! Zhang Hua, kill him! He’s lying to you!”

Zhang Hua might have been broad and burly, almost like a man, but at the end of the day, she was still a woman. A woman longing for love.

Before the red-envelope game, she had been a girl everyone disliked. She spent her days staring dreamily at handsome idols on television, yearning for a Cinderella romance.

Now, though she had not found Cinderella’s love, her overwhelming strength had made Zhou Liping willing to serve as her obedient male servant. Many girls, seeking protection, had also willingly become her followers. Within the class, she had built up considerable influence.

Seeing that Zhang Hua seemed to be wavering, Sun Lei could not hide the flicker of triumph in his eyes. He quickly pressed on. “Spare me. Let’s be together.”

“I can spare you, but what about me? This game only lets one person live,” Zhang Hua said coldly.

Sun Lei clenched his teeth. “I’ve got an idea. Cut off both your arms yourself. Once you get out of here, won’t you still be alive? After that, don’t worry. My family has money. We’ll get you the best treatment. Then we’ll be the kind of couple everyone envies.”

“Hmm, that’s a good plan. Pity...” Zhang Hua gave a chilly smile. “I refuse.”

She shouted, “Die!”

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

A surge of mental force rose within Zhang Hua. With overwhelming strength, she shoved the machine forward. Sun Lei had no power to resist. The next moment, the saw blade sliced straight through his chest. Blood and minced flesh splattered across Zhang Hua’s face, making her look even more vicious.

“So you thought you could fool me, Zhang Hua? Die, die!” Zhang Hua roared, her face twisted with savage fury, not stopping until Sun Lei had been cut clean in two. Only then did the suction from the handle finally loosen, allowing her to break free.

“Zhang Hua, are you all right?” Zhou Liping asked uneasily.

Smack!

Zhang Hua slapped him hard across the face and said savagely, “Do I look like anything’s wrong with me?”

A flash of venom crossed Zhou Liping’s eyes, gone in an instant. He hurriedly said, “I was only worried about you.”

“Worried about me? Hmph. Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been up to. Haven’t you and Chun Ying been scheming behind my back, thinking of ways to get me killed?” Zhang Hua said coldly.

Among the girls, Chun Ying’s expression changed drastically. Trembling, she said, “Sister Hua, what... what are you talking about? I didn’t.”

Chun Ying was not exactly pretty. Her face was covered in freckles. But her figure was slim and, compared with Zhang Hua, she naturally had a great many advantages.

Zhou Liping hurriedly said, “You must have misunderstood something. How could we possibly want you dead?”

“That’s right, Sister Hua, you’ve got it wrong,” Chun Ying said.

Zhang Hua snorted and stepped forward, slapping Chun Ying so hard she flew backward. “Slut. You think I don’t know what message you sent Zhou Liping last night? I saw everything.”

Chun Ying’s face turned ghostly pale. She dropped to her knees, crying, “I’m sorry. It was Zhou Liping who made me do it. I never wanted to harm you.”

Zhou Liping cursed viciously, “Chun Ying, what the hell are you saying? Don’t make things up.”

Zhang Hua waved a hand, and a crowd of little delinquents swarmed over. “Zhou Liping, still denying it at a time like this? I was going to let you shoulder the blame yourself, but you’re still being stubborn. Beat him. Let’s see if he’ll still be so dishonest in the future.”

The girls surged forward. How could Zhou Liping’s frail body stand up to a pack of girls who were used to fighting? He was beaten until he cowered in a corner. Chun Ying, meanwhile, was trembling all over, begging Zhang Hua to spare her life.

At this point, even if someone died, the police could no longer do anything about it in this classroom, so Chun Ying was terrified out of her wits.

Zhang Hua took out a utility knife and said coldly, “You seduced my man, so I’ll carve up your face first.”

With that, she swung the blade down viciously. Chun Ying’s screams immediately rang through the classroom.

Many people frowned at the scene, but Zhang Hua’s influence was already substantial. She had gathered a group of fierce, hard-fighting girls under her command, and even someone like Song Feng would not casually provoke her now.

Zhang Xiaofan was the same. He only glanced over once before looking away again. Nothing happening outside mattered to him anymore. His eyes had remained fixed on Su Qianqian and Lin Rou the entire time.

“Ah...”

Xu Zhong’s strength was now failing him more and more. The spinning blade was inching closer and closer, ten centimeters, nine centimeters, eight centimeters...

Ma Yongxiang grinned ferociously. “Xu Zhong, forgive me. This time, it’s either you die or I do!”
