There's a ghost among you!

"It's okay... it's okay!"

Looking at the Flat-headed Ghost in front of him, whose face was full of anticipation as he waited for him to give up his seat, Kamiya Konan frantically reassured himself in his heart.

"I am a Chosen of God! I possess Sequence 099, [Answer Analysis]!"

"I am the true protagonist! I can't die here!"

Kamiya Konan forcibly suppressed his fear, his brain working at lightning speed.

"As long as... as long as I prove my value to these people!"

"As long as I make them know I'm irreplaceable!"

"There are so many empty seats in this classroom, it's not too much for me, a Chosen of God, to get one, right?!"

With this thought, he suddenly sprang up from his seat.

Facing Lu Shiyan on the lectern, and the indifferent classmates around him, he shouted loudly.

"Everyone! Listen to me!!"

"I have a Supernatural Ability! I'm an A-Class ability user! My ability is [Insight]!!"

He didn't reveal his true ability's name, instead fabricating one that sounded more like a deterrent.

Kamiya Konan pointed at the blackboard, hoarsely selling himself.

"I have already used my ability to gain insight into all the rules of this class!!"

"As long as you listen to me! As long as you follow my commands! We won't die! We won't be haunted by ghosts!!"

"I have a way to break through this situation! I have value!!"

However.

The expected shock and prostration did not appear.

What responded to him was a deathly stillness, and... mockery.

Lu Shiyan leaned against the wall, took a deep drag from his cigarette, frowned slightly, his eyes full of suspicion.

"I recognize you, Kamiya Konan."

"When we were gathering, I specifically asked everyone to assess combat power."

"Back then, you said you were just an ordinary person, powerless."

Lu Shiyan exhaled a smoke ring, and let out a cold laugh.

"What? Now that death is at your doorstep, you suddenly have a Supernatural Ability?"

"A-Class? Insight? I think you just made it up to get us to save you, right?"

"You're probably trying to trick us into dying for you, aren't you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Cherry Blossom Country Students around who already disliked Kamiya Konan chimed in.

"Exactly! Kamiya Konan is definitely lying!"

A Boy with freckles on his face loudly mocked.

"Everyone knows that the awakening of Supernatural Abilities is closely related to a person's potential!"

"Kamiya Konan, that idiot, always barely passed every exam, not even by one point!"

"He was often scolded by the Teacher as a dull, wooden-headed fool!"

"With his kind of perpetual tail-ender, how could he possibly awaken such a powerful A-Class Supernatural Ability?!"

"If he's A-Class, then aren't I S-class? Hahahaha!"

"..."

Listening to these harsh taunts, Kamiya Konan trembled all over with anger, almost passing out from rage.

I... I was controlling my score! I was playing the pig to eat the tiger!!

He roared in his heart.

But he truly regretted it now!

Regretted why he had to show off!

Why he had to control his score for that pathetic sense of superiority!

Now it was great, he couldn't wash this off!

Was this the retribution for "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"?

And at this moment.

The Flat-headed Ghost standing in front of Kamiya Konan seemed to be losing patience.

On its face, which was only half-formed, the expectant smile gradually disappeared.

Its hands began to tremble, and its black fingernails grew wildly.

Let... go... or not?!

The countdown to death has begun.

Kamiya Konan knew that if he didn't take action soon, even if he didn't give up his seat, this ghost would tear him apart directly!

"I'm really not lying!!"

Kamiya Konan shouted desperately, "Believe me! I really know the rules!"

Lu Shiyan lit another cigarette and sighed.

Although he didn't believe the words of this "underachiever," he did need manpower right now.

"Alright, since you say so..."

Lu Shiyan pointed to the sleeping figure in the back row, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Then prove it."

"Use your [Insight] to tell me... what exactly is the supernatural ability of that sleeping man?"

"As long as you can guess correctly, I'll believe you and spare your life."

This was a trap.

It was also a pledge of allegiance.

Lu Shiyan needed concrete intelligence to confirm his own guess.

Before Kamiya Konan could answer, Yu Shishi couldn't help herself.

"Stinky Uncle! You..."

But before she could even finish opening her mouth, Liu Yuqing covered it with her hand.

Because she understood.

The other party seemed to want to obtain information through Kamiya Konan's Insight.

In reality, he wanted to judge whether the previous Air Manipulation was true or false based on the reactions of their Jiangnan teammates!

Lu Shiyan saw Liu Yuqing's expression and shook his head. It was obvious...

He already had his answer in his heart.

Ginger...

Is still the spiciest.

"This..."

Kamiya Konan froze.

He knew Lu Shiyan was setting him up. If he revealed Jiangnan's Supernatural Ability...

Given the other man's personality, he would undoubtedly kill him.

Besides...

He couldn't say it either, because his one chance per day was already used up!

And that man named Jiangnan still had the sticky note covering his face.

Showing no interest in the life-and-death drama unfolding on this side.

"Arrogant guy..."

An unnamable rage surged within Kamiya Konan.

"You'll regret losing a Chosen of God because of your arrogance!"

But reality was cruel.

To survive, he had to lower his noble head.

He put on a fawning expression, trying to sell himself to this seemingly strongest lifeline.

"Mr. Jiang! You... you shouldn't be sleeping!"

"Do you want to know where your Little Brother... that Guo Shuai, went during the time he disappeared?!"

"And! He might die next!!"

"I'm not talking about the problem of his desk being missing! It's for another reason! A deeper reason! I know the Truth!"

"The Truth about someone in this Classroom! Trying to subvert everything!"

Hearing his name.

Guo Shuai, sitting in the corner, trembled all over.

After the rest, he had recovered quite a bit of strength.

He turned his head with difficulty, looking at Jiangnan beside him, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Boss...?"

Clearly, if this Kid really knew something detrimental to him, should he listen?

Just as everyone expected Jiangnan to stand up and ask for his Little Brother's safety...

Huala.

A slender hand slowly lifted the memo paper from his face.

Jiangnan opened his eyes, his pitch-black eyes showing no fluctuation.

He picked up a pen, wrote a line on the memo paper, then casually tore it off and threw it away.

The memo paper fluttered down onto the desk in front of Kamiya Konan.

On it was only a cold line of text:

[Without proof, state the name of my supernatural ability, otherwise... die.]

"!!"

Everyone present was shocked.

They hadn't expected that at this crucial moment, Jiangnan wouldn't care about the rules or his little brother's safety.

He was asking the exact same question as Lu Shiyan!

This was extremely sensitive!

And a question that could easily expose a trump card!

What kind of confidence was this?

And what kind of...

not playing by the routine?

Kamiya Konan stared at the memo paper, his entire body frozen in place.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, instantly soaking his glasses.

A deep sense of powerlessness surged into his heart.

He felt like a husband who was impotent in that regard, indifferent to his wife's seductive postures.

Because...

his sequence supernatural ability [Answer Analysis] could only be used once a day.

And that one chance had already been wasted on that damned question, "Curse of Four"!

He was completely an ordinary person right now!

How could he possibly know what Jiangnan's supernatural ability was?!

The air seemed to have solidified.

For some reason, after the extreme despair, Kamiya Konan actually calmed down.

Even...

He suddenly felt like laughing.

"This Jiangnan... is truly a weirdo."

He complained in his heart, without a hint of temper.

"Shouldn't a normal person ask me where Guo Shuai went? Shouldn't they ask why they're going to die?"

"Even asking about the rules of class, or the ghost's weakness would be fine!"

"I've set up and guided the questions for so long..."

"And this guy... directly learned from that bastard Lu Shiyan and asked what my Supernatural Ability is?"

"Something completely unrelated..."

"He really is a thorough, self-centered madman..."

"I lost."

"Lost to luck, and lost to this damned human heart."

"Haha... Hahahahaha!!"

Kamiya Konan suddenly covered his face and let out a frenzied laugh.

Since no one believes me...

Since I'm going to die anyway...

Then let me be a madman for once!

"Yare yare..."

Kamiya Konan suddenly lowered his hands, the last glimmer flashing in his eyes.

That was the Chosen of God's final dignity, and his final revenge.

"Since none of you want me to live..."

"Then, before death, I'll give you an answer for free!!"

He widened his eyes and, with all his strength, roared at everyone.

"Listen to me!!"

"Among you... there's a ghost!"

"And this ghost... is among the three old humans..."

Whoosh!

Before he could finish speaking.

A silver light flashed instantly.

Thwack!

Kamiya Konan's voice cut off abruptly.

He widened his eyes, hands clamped tightly over his throat.

But blood still gushed wildly from between his fingers.

His vocal cords, his neck, had been severed at the root!

And at the lectern.

Lu Shiyan retracted his right hand that had thrown the scalpel, his face showing no expression, merely exhaling a smoke ring.

"Too noisy."

"Class is about to start, and you're still shouting."

"Is there any classroom discipline?"
