Compared to Cheng Zhu, who had already begun to think about how to make a clean getaway, the other indigenous people lacked reverence for the strange rules and legends.
After all, indigenous people mostly deal with "rules," and breaking the rules doesn't necessarily mean death; often it only results in fines or detention. But "rule ghost stories" are different; they are bizarre and special creations, and breaking them basically means you're not far from death.
When it comes to dealing with ghost stories, the Chosen Ones are the real experts.
The indigenous people were mostly venting their negative emotions: "I shouldn't have come to this stadium!"
"It's all your fault! You insisted on making me come and check, and now we can't get out!"
May the gods protect me.
"Waaaaah..."
"Stop crying! You're annoying me!"
Amidst the chaotic noise, Chengzhu tilted his head to look at Janice, sizing up the person who had pushed him in.
She was surprisingly calm, even admiring her own face in the mirror system built into the smart chip, occasionally swaying back and forth in a daze—although Chengzhu couldn't see the page in Janice's field of vision, he could guess what she was doing from her awkwardness and timidity on her second day as a woman.
When Cheng Zhu watched Future Star's entertainment programs in the past, many of the male actors who dressed as women were like this.
Compared to the perilous environment, Janice cared more about her stunning beauty, which she had spent a fortune on. Her ecstatic expression made Cheng Zhu's scalp tingle.
Cheng Zhu felt sympathy for the indigenous people's plight, but not much, especially for Janice, who had repeatedly tricked him. Cheng Zhu felt that he had been raised to have too high a moral standard and could be considered a moral role model, since he didn't directly push Janice into the pit.
If you want her to repay evil with kindness, you'll have to wait another eight hundred years.
Cheng Zhu also tried to move towards the exit, but as expected, he couldn't leave; no matter how hard he tried, he could only stay in one place. However, if he wanted to go to a certain sports area, he could move smoothly.
This clearly shows they won't release him until he completes all three sports events.
As the crowd gradually moved in different directions, Cheng Zhu didn't call Janice, but secretly followed the crowd and walked in another direction himself.
This group of people is heading to the runway.
Upon arriving at the starting point of the track, a scarecrow is prominently displayed, with a piece of paper pinned to its temple.
Because Chengzhu arrived relatively late, he could only hear the students at the front reading the rules: "[Running Exercise Rules] To encourage every student to exercise actively, we have improved the school's playground. Running exercises are an aerobic exercise that can improve cardiopulmonary function and physical fitness. We hope that every student can take their physical exercise seriously..."
"Read the important parts! What are the rules?" someone behind who couldn't see the paper urged.
The person reading the rules was probably quite reserved; instead of immediately arguing with others because of the urging, they patiently continued reading.
[1. The morning exercise is conducted in groups of 20 people, who complete four laps around the track to finish.]
2. It's okay to use your hands to distract other students while running.
3. We must not stop moving forward.
4. The first place winner in each group will receive a reward, and the last place winner will be penalized.
5. Do not remove this piece of paper.
The rules aren't long, but the fifth one... is practically tempting to break!
The thought had barely crossed Cheng Zhu's mind when he heard the person in front of him start cursing, "Can't we take off this piece of paper? Why should we?" As he spoke, the person boldly reached out and tore at the paper.
The moment the paper was removed, the person inexplicably stuck it to their face and uttered a puzzled sound: "Huh?"
Then, the scarecrow came to life.
It pulled the nail from its own forehead and plunged it deep into the brow of the person with the sticker on their face. Accompanied by the latter's heart-wrenching scream, a gust of wind blew the scarecrow away, and it mysteriously disappeared from everyone's sight.
The sound of "thank you" could be faintly heard on the wind.
Cheng Zhu wasn't sure if he was hallucinating or if the scarecrow had really said those words.
As for the boy who was nailed down, his screams grew weaker and weaker, because his body also began to slowly turn into straw, eventually becoming a new scarecrow and completely losing his life.
Anyway, rule number five, "Don't take this paper off," is definitely true.
Thanks to this classmate who broke the rules, this blank sheet of paper has become more terrifying than a virus in front of everyone. Oh no, this should be the problem caused by the weird virus. Otherwise, how could a living person turn into a scarecrow?
For a moment, no one dared to step forward. Those in front tried to make way for those behind: "Why don't you go first?"
"No, no, no, let me look at other projects."
"Me too……"
Before the people pushing and shoving on the track side could decide who would go up, someone on the golf course side screamed in pain.
Because of the distance and the large number of people in the stadium, Cheng Zhu couldn't see what was happening over there at all, but he could clearly feel the crowd stirring.
"My God, what's going on over there?"
"Someone has died!"
"Ugh! That's horrible...ugh!"
"Get away from me! Don't throw up on me! It's disgusting! I have a sensitive stomach... Ugh!"
The sounds coming from nearby suggested that the golf course was also extremely dangerous and that there had already been casualties, which made others somewhat apprehensive.
Just then, the loudspeaker came on. Although it still sounded like Principal Luo Weina's voice, her tone seemed flat: "Students, sometimes it is worth the necessary sacrifices to exercise. It is normal for some people to die during exercise. Please stay calm and choose your sports as soon as possible."
