Chapter 31: Every Means Employed (An extra chapter in thanks for the ten-thousand-tip; three more are coming later. Such a hard life.)

Su Qianqian, I never thought I would finally get the chance to kill you, Lin Rou said with a cold sneer.

Lin Rou, want to know why Zhang Xiaofan never liked you? Because I am prettier than you, Su Qianqian replied without the slightest hint of fear.

What nonsense are you spouting? I asked Zhang Xiaofan myself before, and he said he liked me best. We only fell out because we argued, so you took advantage of the opening, Lin Rou said viciously.

Enough with the nonsense. This time I will definitely kill you. I will make Zhang Xiaofan see that I am better than you.

Save it. If I were to beat you, no one could stop me. Kill you? I’ll cut you clean in half, Lin Rou said provocatively.

For a moment, the two women traded barbs back and forth, hurling insults at each other while also jealously competing for attention. The boys below looked on with envy, secretly thinking that Zhang Xiaofan really had all the luck. If it had been them, they would have already taken both beauties down long ago. What a thrill that would have been.

It was a pity. Now one of the two would surely die, and many of the boys could only lament the loss, secretly sighing that beautiful women were often doomed to tragic fates.

As for some of the girls, they wore smug expressions. Quite a few of them were even praying that these two class beauties would perish together, so that they themselves could take the throne and bask in the admiration of countless boys. Better yet, if they could seduce people like Zhang Xiaofan or Murong Feng, then they would have real protection.

Several strong students placed their hands on the device. For them, victory would be achieved in an instant. All it came down to was killing someone.

Meanwhile, the weaker ones, remembering the students who had been sliced in half earlier, turned pale with fear. One girl shook her head frantically. Her name was Xia Li. She kept muttering, “No, no, I don’t want to die. Can someone save me? Please, sob…”

Ordinarily, some boys might have fawned over her because she was beautiful, but at this moment even their own lives could not be guaranteed. Who would care about anyone else?

Another girl leaned into her boyfriend’s embrace. She too was drained of color, but in the end, with her boyfriend’s encouragement, she reached out and gripped the handle. At that instant, her hand was tightly locked in place.

Come on. Isn’t it just death? Jin Hao shouted from the first group.

Jin Hao, there’s something I want to tell you, Liu Yong said from across from him.

Cut the nonsense. You just want to play some petty trick, don’t you? I won’t fall for it, Jin Hao said coldly. He was big and powerfully built, and had already made up his mind that as soon as it started, he would force the saw blade forward with overwhelming strength.

Liu Yong’s expression changed. With a dark look, he said, Just wait.

At the same time, the other groups were also ready. People in every group were talking. The weak begged continuously for mercy, while the strong wore grave expressions. Clearly, after watching the deception and betrayal of the earlier contest, they were no longer so easy to trust. Right now, everyone had the same objective: kill the other side and win.

Ding.

Bao Lei: It looks like everyone is ready. Good. I’m very satisfied. Then I hereby announce: the game begins!

Time limit: thirty minutes!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

As the message appeared, the blood-soaked saw blades suddenly roared to life. The blood inside, driven by inertia, was flung out at once, splattering onto the faces of the students in the contest and making them look even more ferocious.

Die!

Jin Hao of the first group let out a thunderous shout and shoved the blade forward at once.

Liu Yong was struck with terror. He knew apologies were useless now. Baring his teeth, he pushed hard on the handle, but the difference in their strength was too great. Under Liu Yong’s horrified gaze, the saw blade sliced him cleanly in two.

No, no... don’t... Liu Yong coughed up blood, and before long his organs and intestines spilled out from the opened wound.

Even though the other man had already been reduced to such a state, Jin Hao still kept forcing the blade onward. He looked almost mad, his expression twisted and savage. Only after he had cut Liu Yong completely in half did he finally stop, trembling.

Haha, I won. I won...

Jin Hao’s victory drew no attention from the other students, because the disparity in strength was far too obvious. At a glance, one could see who was weak and who was strong.

Xia Li, come on! her boyfriend shouted.

Tears streamed down Xia Li’s face, but she still pushed desperately at the lever. Fortunately, her opponent was also a girl; otherwise, with Xia Li’s strength, she would have been killed long ago.

The girl across from her was clearly no soft target. While pushing, she shouted viciously, Xia Li, don’t think I don’t know what you are. Before you dated Xu Ligao, you’d already been with five men, right? Haha, and one of them was even from outside school. You think I don’t know that?

Xia Li’s face went white. In that instant, the saw blade actually started to slide toward her. Fortunately, she came back to herself in time and hurriedly used all her strength, forcing the blade back to the center.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

The blade continued to spin. Xia Li shouted, her face deathly pale, You’re making things up! Today I will definitely kill you.

What? Hit a nerve? So what if you kill me? It won’t change the fact that you’re a slut.

Ah, ah... no, that’s not true...

Under the assault of the psychological warfare, the blade edged closer and closer to Xia Li. The girl opposite looked extremely pleased with herself. But at that moment, Xia Li’s boyfriend suddenly grabbed a chair and hurled it at her.

“Take that for your lies! Take that for your lies! Die!”

In that instant, Xia Li drove the blade forward with all her strength. Before the girl could even react, her body was cut in two.

Puh, puh... cheating... puh, puh... cheating...

The upper half of her body twitched weakly as she mouthed the word cheating in slurred fragments, until her eyes finally closed.

Ding.

Bao Lei: I believe in true love now. What a pity, Xu Ligao, you cheated, and your punishment is: pain to death!

The next moment, Xu Ligao collapsed to the ground. It felt as if ten thousand needles were stabbing into his stomach, the agony so intense that tears nearly burst from his eyes.

Even worse, the pain only grew stronger and stronger. Ah... no, no...

Xu Ligao clutched his stomach and began rolling on the floor. It hurt too much. It felt as if the intestines in his belly were being twisted apart, and every inch of flesh on his body was being torn open.

Ligao, Ligao, sob... don’t scare me... Xia Li had left the game and was kneeling on the ground, crying uncontrollably. Faced with her boyfriend writhing across the floor, the fragile girl had no idea what to do.

Ah, it hurts so much, it hurts so much...

Suddenly, Xu Ligao seized Xia Li by the arm and snarled, Kill me. Hurry up and kill me!

The pain was unbearable. Xu Ligao could no longer hold on. He wanted to die. Right now, all he wanted was to die at once. Only death could free him from this.

Xia Li shook her head in tears. Trembling, she took a dagger from her pocket. It had been given to her by Xu Ligao for self-defense. She had never had any use for it before, and never imagined it would one day be used on Xu Ligao.
