Death Course Schedule

[High-energy warning! Please prepare yourselves mentally!]

Plop.

As the glimmer of the appraisal technique faded, Liu Yuqing's heart skipped a beat.

"Hiss..."

She pushed up her glasses, forcefully suppressing the shock in her eyes.

"These two are truly unfathomable."

"Not even counting that Su country dragon lady Yekaterina, whose combat power is off the charts."

"This stinky uncle, who only seems to know how to smoke and look cool, actually possesses an S-class supernatural ability: [super telekinesis]!"

S-class!

This is the same level of potential as the scarecrow boss that the boss killed earlier!

And once the other party's comprehensive physical stats are pulled up, their strength will theoretically be on par with it!

However, Liu Yuqing did not make a scene, nor did she reveal any shock.

Because she knew these two were extremely sharp.

Just now, the moment the boss made a move, these two realized something was wrong and reacted almost instantly. Their identities were definitely not simple.

Must find a suitable time to tell the boss.

Liu Yuqing swallowed this intelligence deep down, her face still wearing that harmless smile.

Just then.

Lu Shiyan, having finished dealing with the parasites, walked over.

He twirled the scalpel in his hand, making it dance between his fingertips with silky smoothness.

"Heh."

Lu Shiyan looked at Liu Yuqing and chuckled:

"Well? Little girl."

"Am I still that 'stinky uncle' who only knows how to lie?"

He pointed at the scalpel hovering in mid-air, showing off deliberately.

"See that? This is 'metal manipulation'!"

"As long as it's metal, it's under my control."

"This isn't any worse than your boss's air manipulation, is it?"

Liu Yuqing narrowed her eyes into two crescent moons upon hearing this.

Old fox... trying to bait me right from the start? she thought, complaining wildly in her heart.

He clearly has omnipotent psychokinesis, yet he specifically claims it's metal manipulation, which has severe limitations, just to mislead me? He definitely has bad intentions!

Since you want to play games, then this lady will play along with you!

And so.

Liu Yuqing's expression changed. She pretended to be very angry, put her hands on her hips, and gave a delicate huff:

"Hmph! Stop being so full of yourself!"

"My boss's air manipulation is way cooler than yours! Not only can it kill without a trace, but it can also create a vacuum field!"

"Your little parlor tricks of playing with razor blades wouldn't even be able to get close to him!"

"Oh~ is that so..."

Lu Shiyan showed a look of sudden realization.

"Then your boss really is impressive, unlike me~ I'm old, and I can only be persistent about small things."

He shook his head, twirling a scalpel as he walked to the window. With his back facing the others, he whispered in his heart.

Alright, the intelligence has been obtained.

Invisible bullets... a hungry ghost crushed into a meat patty... creating a vacuum...

It's exactly as I speculated. Jiangnan's ability is air manipulation, and it's S-class, just like mine.

To be honest, it's a truly troublesome ability.

However...

Lu Shiyan lowered his head in thought and pulled out another huazi to light it.

In front of my S-class super telekinesis, as long as I want to... I can snap his neck before he can suck the air away from around me.

Of course, that's assuming he doesn't have eyes that fail to see and get in the way of me finding "that person".

Lu Shiyan exhaled a smoke ring, staring at the pitch-black rain curtain outside the window, lost in his own thoughts.

Little did they know.

Behind him, Liu Yuqing was also sneering in her heart.

"He took the bait, Zhong Deng."

"I hope you won't be scared to tears when you see the boss's other abilities."

Although she hadn't seen Jiangnan's other abilities with her own eyes, she had heard about them from that big mouth, Guo Shuai.

The boss's methods were endless; he was practically a hacker...

Oh no! He was a god descended!

"But then again..."

Liu Yuqing glanced at the door, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Why haven't Wang Meng and Guo Shuai returned yet? Nothing actually happened to them, right?"

Just as she was worrying.

Yu Shishi, who was sitting by the door, suddenly shouted.

"Yuqing! Look! It's Wang Meng and the others!"

Liu Yuqing hurriedly stood up.

At the end of the corridor, Wang Meng was dragging Guo Shuai, running over in a panic, and finally leaned against the door, gasping for breath.

That disheveled appearance, that familiar body size—without a doubt, these were the real Wang Meng and Guo Shuai!

However, the next moment.

Whoosh!

A scalpel instantly flew past Liu Yuqing's eyes, heading straight for the two people at the door!

"Stop!!"

Liu Yuqing reacted instantly, turning her head sharply to look at Lu Shiyan, shouting angrily.

"Those are our companions!!"

Lu Shiyan moved his fingers slightly, causing the scalpel to hover an inch in front of Wang Meng's glabella, his tone cold.

"Little girl, I can understand your agitation."

"But no one has ever returned from the isolation room alive."

"Just as you saw a moment ago, those two monsters disguised themselves as students to sneak in, nearly getting everyone killed."

"This also means... the real ones are already dead."

Although Liu Yuqing didn't know what kind of ghost place the isolation room was.

She trusted her intuition, and she trusted the boss even more.

Because...

In the back row by the window.

Jiangnan had already stood up.

His slender right hand rose, his index finger pointing through the air at the back of Lu Shiyan's head.

And with his left hand, he nonchalantly flicked a piece of memo paper.

The memo paper traced an arc through the air, flying toward Lu Shiyan.

Lu Shiyan didn't even turn his head, confidently trying to catch the paper with his peripheral vision, intending to show off a little while he was at it.

However.

Swish.

His hand actually grabbed at empty air!

The memo paper seemed to have predicted his prediction, brushing past his fingertips and falling to the ground.

"..."

The scene was silent for a moment.

Lu Shiyan's hand froze in mid-air, remaining there for a full ten seconds before he awkwardly pulled it back.

To save face.

He coughed, walked over to the memo paper, and instead of bending down to pick it up, he clamped the paper between his feet.

"?"

Everyone looked at him, puzzled. What was this stinky uncle trying to do?

Only Yu Shishi, with her eccentric imagination, understood. She pointed at Lu Shiyan with excitement.

"I've seen this! This stinky uncle must be trying to imitate that famous scene from God of Gamblers where Andy Lau uses his feet to clamp the cards and perform a backflip to catch them!"

"..."

Hearing this, the corner of Lu Shiyan's mouth curled up wildly.

"Didn't expect there to be someone who knows their stuff."

"Get ready to be blinded by my handsomeness, children!"

He then gathered his breath into his dantian and let out a loud shout.

"Rise!!"

He clamped his feet around the sticky note, exerted a sudden burst of force, and launched himself into the air, performing a backflip!

The movement was cool.

The pose was flashy.

He attempted to catch the flying sticky note mid-air with a suave motion.

However.

He had forgotten one thing: he was wearing a long trench coat.

Just as he reached the midpoint of his flip.

Rip!

The long hem of his coat just had to get caught in his crotch!

His balance in the air was shattered instantly!

Splatter!!

There was no suspense.

Huaxia First Deep Affection, in front of his entire class, faceplanted into a dog-eating-shit pose!

Crack.

That was the crisp sound of a front tooth hitting the floor.

He had socially died.

"..."

The room went silent.

Even Yekaterina, standing to the side, was stunned.

She covered her face, unable to bear the sight.

"Pfft... hahahaha!!"

Liu Yuqing and Yu Shishi finally couldn't hold it in anymore, hugging each other and laughing until they were doubled over, tears streaming down their faces.

Lu Shiyan, who was on the ground, was not dead.

But his current state was even more miserable than death.

He covered his bleeding mouth and silently climbed up from the floor.

He did not choose to escape reality; instead, he made his brain activate selective shielding to block out those shrill sounds.

As long as I'm not embarrassed, the ones who are embarrassed are others!

He acted as if nothing had happened, calmly wiped the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth, bent down to pick up the note, and took a look.

[I know my own people, you had best not meddle in other people's business.]

[Otherwise, what awaits you will not be legal sanctions, but... death, delivered by me!]

Seeing this short sentence, Lu Shiyan's pupils constricted.

"Legal sanctions..."

"Could he have seen through my identity?!"

A fine layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Lu Shiyan's back.

But there was no fear in his eyes, only deep vigilance.

Just as he was about to say something to regain his composure, Wang Meng had already dragged Guo Shuai into the room.

At the same time.

The countdown on everyone's back of hand hit zero.

[00:00]

Ding-a-ling-ling!!!

A harsh and cheerful class bell sound suddenly rang out across the entire campus!

"Students~ Teachers~"

"There are only five minutes left until formal class begins~"

"Will all students please immediately return to your designated spots and sit properly."

"If any desks or chairs go missing..."

"Our dear dean of students will lock you all in the 'isolation room' for remedial lessons~ Hehehe..."

As the voice faded, lines of blood red chalk writing automatically appeared on the blackboard behind the lectern, listing today's [death course schedule].

[2:00-3:00] English class (Instructor: Chen Tong)

[3:00-4:00] Chinese class (Instructor: Fujino Juro)

[4:00-4:44] Math class (Instructor: Kujo Ran)

[4:44-6:00] Morning exercise + morning reading (Team leader: Lu Shiyan)

[Patrol supervisor]: Che Li Zao Miao

Everyone was instantly drawn to this eerie course schedule.

"Quick! Find a seat!"

Wang Meng and Guo Shuai dared not delay and wanted to pick any seat to sit down.

However.

As they looked around, they discovered a terrifying fact: there was one seat missing!

Let's count the heads.

Original cherry blossom country students: 11 - 4 dead (Guinan + Yayu + lustful man + possessing woman) = 7 students.

Jiangnan team students: Jiangnan, Liu Yuqing, Yu Shishi, Wang Meng, Guo Shuai = 5 students.

Other students: Hoshino Hikaru, Yekaterina = 2 students.

Total: 14 students.

Yet in the classroom, counting every single one, there were only 13 sets of desks and chairs!

In other words... there was one person too many!

"Brother Wang... there's no seat left!"

Guo Shuai looked at the occupied seats in front, cold sweat streaming down his face in anxiety.

Suddenly, he pointed to the corner of the last row, where there were a few empty spots with only broken chairs and no desks, and said to Wang Meng.

"Brother Wang! I'll go sit there! It's right next to the boss!"

"Don't..."

Wang Meng glanced at that dark corner. "Those seats look wrong at a glance; there aren't even any desks."

"It's fine!"

Guo Shuai gritted his teeth. "With Boss here, there's nothing to be afraid of! I need to be close to Boss to have a sense of security!"

"Fine, then be careful."

Wang Meng nodded and helped Guo Shuai over to the broken chair located to the right of Jiangnan, sitting him down.

He then scrambled to grab the spot where the lustful man had previously died.

Guo Shuai sat down with a thud, feeling the chair beneath his buttocks ice-cold.

He turned his head, wanting to greet Jiangnan, who was sitting next to him.

"Boss, I..."

However.

Jiangnan ignored him, instead pointing at the top of his head with a strange look in his eyes.

"?"

Guo Shuai looked puzzled. "Boss? What's wrong? Is there dust on my head?"

At this very moment.

The eyes of everyone in the class were fixed on the back row in terror.

They saw that around the chair where Guo Shuai had sat down, three figures had appeared out of nowhere.

The first was sitting on the chair to Guo Shuai's right.

It was a male student whose head was only half there.

It had been sliced cleanly from the nasal bridge, and his mouth was split all the way to his ear roots, revealing a cheerful smile directed at Guo Shuai.

The second was standing behind Guo Shuai—a female student with long, straight black hair.

Her eyes were hollow, with no eyeballs inside, only two pitch-black, bloody cavities.

She was staring tightly at the top of Guo Shuai's head.

The third...

Was a dead infant, its body bloated and blue, with a long umbilical cord dragging from its navel.

It was crawling on top of Guo Shuai's head, its two small hands covering Guo Shuai's eyes...
