14: Chapter 14: Angel Campus (Fourteen)

What on earth happened inside?

Mo Lan looked at his haughty demeanor, then at the infirmary before her, her heart pounding non-stop.

Fortunately, after going inside, the process was the same as last time, and they were allowed to leave after taking their medicine.

It seemed there was no difference in how she felt.

Qian Ye was the last to go in this time. Before entering, she saw Tai Feng looking disheveled, with bruises on his face, and Qian Ye happened to hear the NPC say: "Wouldn't it have been better if you had just behaved?"

As soon as Qian Ye entered, the NPC immediately sat up straight, staring at her with a curious expression.

She clearly looked completely harmless and was quite beautiful, like an exquisite little princess.

Yet, he had already received warnings from several people to be careful when encountering this person.

Last night, an observer disappeared, and within this campus, the only suspect was the woman before him.

No, to be precise, she should be a girl.

She looked like a girl who wouldn't hurt a fly.

A moment later, Qian Ye left, carrying her umbrella.

Inside the infirmary, the NPC clutched his abdomen, his expression sinister.

I really underestimated her.

Immediately after, he looked excited; with such strong combat power, if she could be used by them, the plan could be accelerated.

At the thought that he hadn't managed to draw a single drop of her blood, he felt full of regret.

On the other side, Zhan Hao and the others didn't expect the scene to change directly while they were walking after the physical examination.

Their feet sank into a soft lawn, and before they could react, they heard a reprimand.

"What are you all doing!"

Then came a whistle.

"Hurry up and assemble."

"Class is about to start."

"Don't think that just because this is a P.E. class, you can be reckless."

As the whistle blew, students from all directions rushed over.

The group scrambled in a panic and quickly stood in formation.

"You lot, you don't study hard in your academic classes, and now you don't take my P.E. class seriously either. What do you think you're doing?"

"You, and you..."

He pointed out every player present except Lin Yu, including Qian Ye.

Qian Ye tugged at the corner of her mouth, grinning, her whole body radiating malice.

"P.E. class is, of course, inseparable from exercise, so..." Pausing for a moment, the expression on the NPC's face became eerie.

He continued: "Now, let's play a game."

A shuttlecock-kicking competition, with a thirty-minute time limit. Failure will result in punishment. The teams will be decided by drawing lots.

The rules are as follows:

1. Ten people per group in a circle, relay kicking the shuttlecock. In the first round, everyone must ensure they kick the shuttlecock; from the second round onwards, you are free to play as you wish.

2. Everyone must ensure they kick it at least five times.

3. Anyone who fails to receive the shuttlecock is eliminated.

4. Malicious passing is allowed, but physical contact is prohibited.

5. Free team formation is not allowed.

Mo Lan cursed under her breath. This fifth rule was clearly targeting them, out of fear that they would all seek to team up with NPCs.

Sure enough, when it was their turn to draw lots, it was a "coincidence" that they were all assigned to the same team.

This meant that out of the ten people, six were players, plus four NPCs, forming the team.

Before the match had even begun, Lin Yu cast a sinister gaze toward Qian Ye.

He had only one goal: to eliminate her.

At the command, the match was ready to begin.

When they saw the distributed "shuttlecock," it made their hearts run cold.

This was no shuttlecock; it was clearly a human head.

It was still stained with blood and looked as if it had just been twisted off recently.

In the first round, the NPCs started passing the ball.

As if they had agreed beforehand, the four NPCs passed safely first.

Among the six players including Qian Ye, Lin Yu deliberately chose to stand next to Qian Ye; today, he was determined to make her meet her end here.

Although it was called a shuttlecock, it was still a human head with significant weight, and girls naturally lacked the strength.

Mo Lan almost had an issue, but fortunately, with the support of her own luck buff, she passed through without danger.

The "shuttlecock" was kicked safely to Lin Yu. A trace of malice flashed across his lips. With a flying kick, the "shuttlecock" was sent to the other side.

Instantly, the air froze.

Mo Lan's eyes widened; she couldn't believe he would do such a thing.

The next turn was Qian Ye's; it was clear he did it on purpose.

Lin Yu looked at Qian Ye triumphantly.

His eyes were full of malice.

Just as he was gloating, the tip of an umbrella suddenly appeared, pressing against the "shuttlecock." At the handle end, Qian Ye held it firmly, flicking it upward, and the "shuttlecock" passed to the next person.

No warning was triggered.

Nor was there a failure notification.

The game continued.

"What a pity." Qian Ye clapped her hands and giggled.

The rules didn't say you could only kick with your feet; as long as you catch it, that's all that matters, right?

The smile on Lin Yu's face froze.

He gritted his teeth in secret.

Damn it, she really has a long life.

You couldn't eliminate her. Next, the second round began, which was essentially a battle royale mode.

One of the NPCs failed to catch the "shuttlecock." Hearing a "bang," it landed on the ground, and the "shuttlecock" exploded instantly.

The explosion was sudden; everyone in the circle was caught off guard. They were covered in stains, and brain matter was splattered everywhere.

Among them, a red umbrella was the most striking. With no movement, Qian Ye closed her hong ling umbrella and complained, "Phew, that was close; it almost got my clothes dirty."

For a moment, Qian Ye was the only one on the field who remained completely clean.

Before the others could recover from their disgust, they heard the NPC's scream.

"Ah, no."

"No, no, help!"

The people on the field watched helplessly as the NPC who failed to catch the ball had their neck twisted off, and the head was then handed to them.

"A new shuttlecock."

The game continued.

Instantly, the players felt a chill run through their bodies; so this was the correct way to play "shuttlecock."

Failure meant death.

This turn of events made the players on the field focus with twelve times the intensity to face this match.

They were afraid that the next one to have their head twisted off would be themselves.

In the following rounds, Qian Ye always inadvertently blocked Lin Yu from catching the ball.

"Five minutes remaining."

Only then did Lin Yu realize Qian Ye's goal.

She wanted him dead.

He had to catch the ball, or he would be the next one eliminated.

How could Qian Ye possibly give him a chance?

Every time, Qian Ye toyed with him like a mouse.

Lin Yu was not resigned to this. In the end, Qian Ye didn't block him, but he still failed to catch it, watching helplessly as the "shuttlecock" grazed him and fell.

With a "bang," the "shuttlecock" exploded.

"Time's up."

Instantly, Lin Yu's face turned ashen.

The P.E. teacher stepped forward, looking at Lin Yu with excitement in his eyes.

"Not enough, five. Student, you are eliminated."

"No, no, I didn't. It was this woman who sabotaged me."

"Give, give me one more chance." Lin Yu, face full of terror, kept waving his hands as he looked at the approaching NPC.

"What are you nervous about? We are the same kind now." The NPC whispered.

No, he didn't want to die.

The NPC got closer and closer to him, his whole body radiating an aura of excitement.

"You, it was all you, you vicious woman."

"I won't let you go."

"Yes, yes, yes, we can't let them go." The NPC on the side grinned.

Raising his arms, he said, "Congratulations on being chosen."

"Enjoy the carnival of the night."

"Jie jie jie."

"Hehehehehehe..."

Suddenly, eerie laughter spread from all directions, sometimes near, sometimes far.
