Chapter 176 Showtime
Crash! Five or six men wearing tactical vests, masks, and hoods rushed in from the front door.
The leader wore a drilled mask, eight holes neatly arranged below her eye sockets like spider eyes. She was tall, and especially so in the sleeveless T-shirt beneath, the muscles in her upper arms bulged clearly, revealing immense explosive power.
The intruder's face was tightly covered by a mask, with a modified AK slung across his chest. He stood beside the podium with the aura of a chainsaw killer.
Originally, no one could tell who she was, but the golden hair behind her head was scattered freely, making her identity obvious.
Sinaya?!
Chen Xiao'er quickly bent down to keep in sync with her classmates who were in a panic and not to stand out too much.
Why is Xinnaya here? According to the previous process, she should be racing outside. Unless...
Chen Xiao'er was lying on the table, glancing ahead with her peripheral vision, just in time to see Xinnaya's neck slightly turning towards her.
She was looking at me, that's what she was.
She also has memories of last week's show.
Chen Xiao'er quietly touched the fruit knife tied to her thigh: Xinaya should not have mastered the memory of the third round, but the memory of the second round.
During my second reincarnation, I killed her. So in the reincarnation with her memories, she paid someone to break into the school and seek revenge.
Bang!
It seemed as she imagined. At the podium, a young man wearing a Grinning Bunny mask banged the blackboard with the butt of a gun and shouted, "Good afternoon, everyone! Let's play a game, shall we? Hahahaha."
Chen Xiao'er carefully observed the position of each of them and the direction they were looking, and found that except for Xinnaya's "gaze" which was always vaguely on her, no one else paid much attention to her.
Either look at the prettiest girl in the class, or stare at the windows and doors.
It seems that Xinaya didn't tell the group her true purpose, and just incited a bunch of fools to attack the campus with her? No, she should have paid a few professionals as well.
Chen Xiao'er looked towards the back door. The person guarding the back door was obviously taller and stronger than the person at the front door, and his standing posture was also different.
It seems that the people at the front door are Xinaya’s “friends”, and the ones behind are “mercenaries”.
How dare she do that? Isn't she afraid of the police coming?
Anger first surged in my chest, but was immediately extinguished by a bucket of cold water: The police in Changhe City...seemed really unreliable.
Chen Xiao'er had two conflicting memories in her mind. One was that the police would definitely arrive in time, and Xinnaya's behavior was courting death.
The other group firmly believes that according to "common sense", the police will only arrive at the scene after the accident, and may not find anything after a long investigation, so this group of rich second-generations are fearless.
My head hurts.
Chen Xiao'er covered her head and slumped over the table. "This is so weird! Could it be that the time travel has messed up my brain?" But I've been repeating today all day, and I haven't traveled to another world, so why would my common sense be confused?
…
Xinnaya stood among her accomplices, observing Chen Xiao'er carefully through the hole in her mask: Except for you, everyone in this world is like a wax doll in my mind, and they keep melting when they get close.
Only you are different.
Even this classroom makes everyone inside seem particularly clear because of your presence.
Click.
Chen Xiao'er gently bumped her head against the table.
This little action stirred up huge waves in Xinnaya's heart. She almost jumped off the podium in the next second and rushed over to hug the furry head in her arms.
But she held back.
No, it's not time yet.
Xinaya silently chanted in her heart: "The gods gave me the ability to rewind time, but I didn't mean to waste it. This is my first meeting with Chen Xiao'e, so I must build a good relationship."
There seemed to be a lingering smell of blood between her lips and teeth, and the refreshing sweetness went straight to her heart, destroying her desire for all kinds of delicious food.
Xinnaya knew very well that if she couldn't hold Chen Xiao'er in her hands, every meal she had from now on would be a torment like chewing wax.
【I must get Chen Xiao'er.】
If she didn't have the ability to go back in time, she might have been content with just getting the body. After all, there are many ways to possess someone completely in theory, but in practice, they are all traps.
For some people, there is no possibility from the beginning.
Xinnaya knew her greatest strengths: money and beauty. Unfortunately, based on past experience, these two advantages would not help her win Chen Xiao'er's favor.
So... currying favor? Even changing your personality to please others?
How is that possible?
She narrowed her eyes and gave me a dangerous smile. "I won't change myself, not even for you. If that day ever comes, I'd rather die."
That's why God gave me the ability to go back in time, allowing me to find another bright future and a world where "even if you know I'm a bad person, you still have to like me."
Xinnaya tried her best to restrain the trembling of her muscles with excitement. She deliberately persuaded some inferior people who thought they were friends to join her and gave them the opportunity to succeed.
Of course, that group of people will start a vicious game, playing with the students in the classroom, putting Chen Xiao'er in a desperate situation. And I will make a final move and strike at them for turning against me!
No matter how arrogant or difficult Chen Xiao'e was, she was just an innocent girl. How could she not be moved when she saw the villain "sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice" and "reform his ways" for her, saving her from danger like a hero?
And then... Xinaya pursed her lips and let her tongue move between her sharp teeth: Then it's time for money and beauty to come on the scene.
Aren't the so-called "love-brained" people simply those who ignore reality for the sake of "love"? Except for the extremely naive, most of these people will be awakened by the punches of reality.
I am different. I can use money to weave another reality for Chen Xiao'er, making her unable to stop.
Haha, hahahaha.
This is exactly the purpose of wearing a mask.
She actually didn't care much about being filmed by the fragile camera. She wore it not only to pretend and act scary, but also to take it off when Chen Xiao'er's adrenaline reached its peak.
A brave man who saved me had a handsome face. Is there any scene more suitable for devoting oneself to him than that?
Alright. She looked at the still-chattering little brat with some annoyance and nudged him with the butt of her gun, signaling him to finish explaining the rules of the game quickly.
…
Zamao was hit by the butt of a gun unexpectedly and almost fell on the desk.
He turned around and saw it was Xinnaya. He coughed and snorted and said, "...Do you all understand the rules of the game? First, vote properly and divide into two groups."
The rules of the game are simple, it's just an ordinary battle royale game.
The hunters were naturally Xinaya and a few of her accomplices. The mercenaries were only responsible for transporting the students to the designated location and preventing them from escaping or calling the police at any time. They were not responsible for anything else.
The rules that Zamao just announced mainly focus on the voting process. Students must write a name other than their own on the paper distributed, then wrap it up and hand it in.
Students who have not been nominated by others are classified as the [Unnamed Group], and students who have been nominated by others are classified as the [Named Group].
After everyone arrives at the designated location, the anonymous group can run first, and although the registered group runs later, they can obtain some tools with less lethality, such as skateboards.
The starting order of the registered group is calculated according to the registered number. If the registered numbers are the same, the person with the first letter will run first.
According to this rule, the person who has been nominated the most times by others in the class will become the last victim to start, like the weakest wild boar in a herd of wild boars.
"Okay, write quickly! How many minutes does it take to write a name? If you take me more than 5 minutes, hmm~" Zamao shook his head proudly.
He tentatively extended his hand toward the female student in the front row, but when he saw Xinnaya's hand pointing at the AK, he quickly retracted his hand.
Damn it, what does big sister mean? Why doesn’t she allow us to take action before the game starts!
Thinking of Xinnaya's methods, Zamao felt completely deflated.
…
Chen Xiao'er withdrew her gaze and moved the tip of her pen onto the white paper.
There were too many mercenaries guarding the back door, and the only way to escape was the front door on Xinaya's left.
This was of course a trap, but Xinaya was incredibly skilled and wouldn't give anyone a chance to escape.
But I am different.
For whatever reason, Sinaya was so obsessed with me that if I tried to escape out the front door, Sinaya would never shoot and would most likely chase me alone.
But this was not enough. I couldn't rush to the door directly under the gaze of so many mercenaries. I might be killed by their bullets.
You must first find a reason to get close.
Chen Xiao'er raised her eyes and saw Xinnaya's mask. Even with the mask blocking her view, she could still feel the burning gaze.
I can use your persistence
Then I need to find a better time, preferably someone can help me attract the attention of the mercenaries.
Thinking of this, she smiled helplessly: What am I thinking? Others don't have the experience of going back in time. Willing to "help me attract attention" is like being willing to die for me.
How could there be such a person... Ling's face overlapped with another blurry shadow. Chen Xiao'er paused with the tip of her pen, almost piercing the white paper.
Yes, but unfortunately she is not here.
The slight feeling dissipated silently, Chen Xiao'er quickly wrote a name and crumpled the paper in her hand.
She wanted to wait for a better opportunity, but suddenly she saw Miroku's reflection appear in the window. Was it more like a projector than a reflection? After all, there were several mercenaries guarding the back door, so Miroku couldn't stand by the window.
But this projection is so obvious, why didn't anyone else notice it?
Milo's projection waved at her and pointed a finger toward the back row. Although she couldn't hear anything, Chen Xiao'er somehow "understood" what the teacher meant.
Just as she was about to nod, she immediately controlled her neck, pinched the paper ball and slowly raised her right hand.
…
Analysts at the monitoring center are analyzing the recorded footage frame by frame.
"What was Chen Xiao'er looking at just now?"
Someone followed her line of sight and took a screenshot of the windows, but every window was very smooth and nothing could be seen.
…
Zheng Lu sat in her seat, bored as she signed her name "Du Zhizhu" on a piece of white paper.
Boring! If you can hold off until after 6 o'clock, I'll show you something interesting.
I wonder whose name classmate Chen will write. Will he write mine?
She was not offended at all. Instead, she was looking forward to it: that would mean that classmate Chen had the deepest impression of me on the first day of school.
Zheng Lu turned her head with a little expectation, only to see Chen Xiao raised her right hand with a cry.
"Um..." The black-haired girl looked at the shocked expressions of the people around her, her face flushing red. "Everyone, I..."
She took a deep breath and said quietly but firmly, "My name is Chen Xiao'er. You can all vote for me."
Chen Xiao'er originally just wanted to "hand in the paper early", but the moment she stood up, she suddenly thought: I was going to escape through the front door anyway, so I might as well break the rules of the game set by the kidnappers.
Humans are like this. As long as someone breaks the rules first, the broken rules will lose their authority, giving everyone a hint that they don't have to follow them.
Of course, my current behavior is not considered a breakthrough, what’s important is what comes next…
Chen Xiao'e was certain everyone's attention was now on her. Teacher Miroku must be waiting outside the door, waiting for her chance to strike. Before she could strike, it was my turn!
She tried to control her breath, looked at Xinnaya in front of the podium, pinched her throat and said in a gentle tone: "I don't really want others to see my name. Can I only show it to you?"
"Heh." The person under the mask must have raised the corners of his mouth, and maybe even smiled with a mouth full of sharp teeth.
Xinnaya turned towards her and deliberately raised her right hand to make a gesture to call a puppy: "Okay, come here."
Well, of course I'll come over, and get closer.
Chen Xiao'er stood up with the help of the desk. She was wearing a light school uniform skirt and had nothing in her hand except a ball of paper.
The mercenaries at the back door managed to get two of them to point their guns at her shoulders and legs, but the monster masks at the front door had no guard at all, and Zamao even whistled.
Who would be wary of a high school girl who was unarmed, had no signs of exercise, and had just turned 16?
Snap, snap, snap.
Chen Xiao'er's uniform shoes stepped slowly on the classroom floor, tapping Xinnaya's eardrums and heart one by one.
The black-haired girl came closer and closer, until she finally stood on the same level as him. Without lowering her head, she could smell the fragrance of her hair, and if she breathed a little harder, she could feel the breeze blowing on her.
Chen Xiao'er raised her face, shyly hooked her right hand holding the gun, stuffed the paper ball in, and then took a few steps to the side as if frightened.
Xinnaya grinned and twisted the paper ball with her fingers. The three words on the white paper flashed through her mind like lightning.
【Sinaya】
You know my name?! Could it be that—she raised her head in disbelief, and the girl’s hair had already disappeared outside the door.
Bang!
The gun went off.
