Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 787 Fatal Vote
"Ah—" Ye Shuo had a splitting headache for a moment.What happened tonight was like a fuse that ignited the time bomb in his heart and blew his uneasy heart to pieces.

Witnessing the tragic death of his companion, he was about to collapse.He could only press his forehead desperately, and he could feel the swollen blood vessels throbbing under his fingers.Where the chip was implanted in his brain, there seemed to be some kind of connection pulling him, as long as he let go of himself, the pain could be eliminated...

"Ye Shuo, you...what's the matter with you?" Wen Cheng cautiously asked from the No. 2 bed opposite.

After a night of shock, Wen Cheng also couldn't sleep.As he was tossing and turning on the bed, he heard the screams from the adjacent bed.He immediately sat up, trying to see Ye Shuo's situation clearly.

Suddenly, Ye Shuo sat up straight, his eyes were empty, his limbs were stiff, he stood up without looking sideways, and walked straight to the door, halfway tripped by a crooked stool and staggered.But at this time, he seemed to be completely unconscious. After standing stiffly, he continued to walk forward.

Seeing this, Wen Cheng let out a groan in his heart, quickly threw off the quilt, jumped out of the bed with bare feet, and grabbed Ye Shuo's clothes with all his might.

"Ye Shuo... Hey, everyone, come and help me!" Wen Cheng was so weak that he was almost dragged forward all the way, so he had to open his arms and hugged Ye Shuo's shoulders, and finally stopped him temporarily. Leaning forward.Taking advantage of this moment, he tilted his head and shouted at the others.

However, everything was just like that day, the people in the other beds seemed to be dead asleep, without any movement at all.Wen Cheng could only work harder, Ye Shuo's hand was already on the doorknob.

"Ye Shuo, wake up! Wake up! You can't go out!" Wen Cheng yelled in Ye Shuo's ear one after another, trying to wake him up, just like he did when he saved himself.

In the aisle outside the door, the sound of "slapping" footsteps began to sound, one after another, seeming to be more than before.Hearing this, Wen Cheng felt even more frightened.He hugged Ye Shuo tightly, who was getting stronger and stronger, and his voice was so shrill that it was almost crazy: "Ye Shuo, wake up! Yan Ziyi is dead, do you want to follow in his footsteps?"

Ye Shuo seemed to pause slightly when he heard the name "Yan Ziyi".Wen Cheng saw it, and he, who was always timid, suddenly burst out with a strong force, threw Ye Shuo's body aside, then rushed forward, and slapped Ye Shuo's ears left and right.

Ye Shuo was in a trance, only remembering a voice kept saying in his ear: "Ye Shuo, wake up, you can't die..." This lasted for a long time, and then he felt pain in his cheeks, his eyes went dark, and he couldn't see anything. I no longer know.

……

The morning sun hit Ye Shuo's face, making his cheeks glow red.

He slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that his whole body was so sore as if it was falling apart.At the same time, his body was very heavy. When he looked down, there was one arm and one leg hanging on his waist and legs. When he turned his head to the side, what he saw was Wen Cheng's magnified face several times. He was so frightened that he quickly pushed the other away , but threw himself off the bed.

"Ah, you're awake!" Wen Cheng also woke up. Seeing Ye Shuo sitting on the ground in a daze, he thought he was having a seizure again, so he quickly jumped out of bed and pulled him to look left and right.

"Ye Shuo, are you okay?" He tried to find any different expressions on Ye Shuo's face.

"...I'm fine." Ye Shuo touched his face, only feeling pain in his cheeks.

"I'm sorry, last night I saw that you wanted to go out regardless, so I stopped you..." Wen Cheng remembered that he was still a little scared last night, rubbed his hands, and said with some embarrassment.

Going out in the middle of the night?Could it be that he became like Pi Jun last night, like Wen Cheng back then?
A chill passed through Ye Shuo's heart.What's even more frightening is that no matter what he thinks now, he can't remember what happened after he came back last night.He only remembered that he was lying on the bed, and the image of Yan Ziyi dying kept flashing in his mind, and then...then...Damn it!Why is there no impression at all!

"It's okay, I still want to thank you—" After a long time, Ye Shuo raised his head and said slowly to Wen Cheng.But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a sudden broadcast sound.

"Attention all students, please gather in the classroom immediately! Repeat again, all students please pay attention..."

At this time, it is not yet the usual self-study report time.Moreover, the use of loudspeakers to summon all members is often only used occasionally when playing those death games.Ye Shuo and Wen Cheng looked at each other, and they both had a premonition that something big would happen today.I'm afraid it's the instructor who wants to thoroughly investigate the intruder last night.

"...Let's go. Hiding here is not an option." Wen Cheng was already trembling with fright, Ye Shuo pressed his shoulder hard, "Maybe the teacher doesn't have conclusive evidence now, before someone else condemns us , we can't treat ourselves as suspects first! The more nervous you are, the more you have to act as if nothing happened!"

"Okay... okay..." Wen Cheng's teeth were still chattering, "I will try my best...not to show my flaws..."

Ye Shuo sighed.It seemed that it was impossible to count on Wen Cheng's perfect disguise.But maybe this kind of him is the most real him. Anyway, no matter whether he is busy or not, he always looks like this.I hope... I can get away with it!

The two were still wearing yesterday's clothes, washed their faces in a hurry, and set off together.

When I came to the classroom, the other students had already arrived.Most of the people's expressions were still the blank and dull expression that Ye Shuo was familiar with.In this training session, perhaps this is the safest disguise.At least on the surface, Ye Shuo couldn't tell how much they really knew about this sudden summoning order.

No... Just now I taught Wen Cheng to be calm, why am I showing my flaws now... Ye Shuo took a deep breath and let the cloud of slightly cold air dissipate in his lungs.And he reminded himself repeatedly: Calm down, calm down!

The two had just sat down in their seats when footsteps sounded at the door.The instructor walked in with a smile on his face.But behind this smile... Ye Shuo's pupils tightened - but there was a deadly murderous intent hidden!
"Students," the instructor said with a smile, "someone tried to sneak into the control room last night. I don't know who they are. Although one of them's body was found, there must be others."

Ye Shuo swallowed stiffly.

"Now send a piece of paper to everyone. Who do you think is. Just write the name on it. The person with the highest votes will be executed. The instructor will add 100 contribution points to the students who tell the truth."

"In the uppermost corner of each piece of paper, write your own names. This way the tutor will know your ticket type. By the way, if someone abstains from voting, they will die as well."

Ye Shuo looked up at his mentor. On that calm face, when he mentioned the so-called punishment, there was only a flash of excitement, and Ye Shuo couldn't figure out the meaning behind it.

"I'll give you a quarter of an hour. You can persuade others not to vote for you. As for persuading them to vote for your enemy, it's perfectly fine."

When the tutor said this, Ye Shuo knew that he didn't really want to investigate the criminal at all!Just to create another cannibalism among the students... this bastard!Ye Shuo clenched his fists, wishing he could rush up to the podium and punch that smug face.

"After a quarter of an hour, the instructor will come back to monitor the voting." After the papers were distributed, the instructor left as scheduled.

As soon as he left, the classroom exploded after a moment of silence.

"Who is it?"

"Who stands up for himself! Don't implicate our innocent people!"

"Are you really innocent? Don't be a thief calling for a thief, right?"

The atmosphere quickly entered a tit-for-tat confrontation.In the eyes of the students, the other people were either the real criminals who caused them to fall to this point, or they were the people who might vote for themselves in the later voting.All are enemies!

"Stop arguing!" Tantai Jing raised her voice when everyone was arguing.

"Have you ever thought that there may not be such a person at all, it's just another bad game by the instructor? Have you seen this kind of routine?"

Perhaps it was because Tan Taijing usually had a certain appeal in the class. After hearing what he said, many people gradually calmed down.Yes, if the mentor wants them to die, he doesn't need a reason at all.Maybe the so-called "true criminal" is just to make everyone suspect each other, but...

"Even if this is the case, the person who is going to die must be voted out! If you abstain from voting, you will die!" A student shouted out the hearts of everyone.

"Why does someone have to die?" Kang Jia's voice was trembling, but the determination in her words remained undiminished, "Everyone, do you think this is good? Each of us should write the name of the person in front of the seat, so that the settlement will be everyone's name." Everyone has one vote, and at the same time no one abstains, maybe everyone can survive!"

Ye Shuo was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly echoed, "That's right! The instructor didn't say how to deal with a tie for all members, which means that this is a loophole in the rules! As long as everyone can unite and cooperate..."

"It's useless." Cen Ling interrupted him coldly.

"Just like the werewolf killing game, someone will definitely betray you."

"Everyone, just relax and live and die in peace." He then added.

In the classroom, there was a brief silence again.Now, everyone is likely to be shot, and the probability of their survival is only 50%!

"No...don't vote for me!" Finally, a gorgeously dressed boy screamed uncontrollably, "My family is very rich, as long as you don't vote for me, I will give you whatever money you want!"

As soon as he took the lead, the others also shouted.

"I... I have a distant relative who is the elder of Tianxiao Pavilion. As long as everyone promises not to vote for me, I can ask him to give you a few more recommended spots in the primary election in the future!"

"Me too! I have a distant relative who is the Holy Envoy of the Nine Nethers! Everyone knows that the number of recommended places in the Nine Nether Palace is more important than that in the Tianxiao Pavilion, not to mention...not to mention it's really not me, I was sleeping in the dormitory last night ! My roommate can vouch for me!"

"Who knows if you are real or fake!" Student No.1 was anxious, and took out a lot of bank notes from his pocket, "I have money! This is real money! You can get it now Go!" Pleadingly, he stuffed the bank notes into the hands of other students, "Come on, take it quickly!"

"Please don't vote for me..." In the chaos caused by the banknotes, another weak voice sounded.

Ye Shuo was surprised to see that it was Wen Cheng standing up!

"My family has no money, and I don't have any powerful distant relatives, but... But my parents are still waiting for me! I can't die... In the next life, I am willing to be a cow or a horse to repay everyone!" Wen Cheng's voice was rough As if about to cry.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have seen yesterday..." A student in the back row suddenly said, "I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night yesterday, and saw Ye Shuo and Wen Cheng sneaking out of the dormitory...I'm afraid, Are they really them?"

Ye Shuo's heart skipped a beat, while the others seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw, and asked repeatedly:
"Is it true? Did you see clearly?"

"What was the situation at the time?"

Before the student could answer, the mentor's figure reappeared at the door.

"The canvassing time is over. Next, I will give you a quarter of an hour to vote. During the voting process, students are not allowed to have any private communication, and those who violate it will be executed immediately! Alright, let's start now."

The space seemed to freeze.

The surroundings were so quiet, Ye Shuo felt that his heart had become a ready-made clock.In the hollow chest, there is only the beating of the sound, playing the drum of death.

thump - thump -

After staring at the blank piece of paper in front of him for a long time, every line seemed to be spinning in front of his eyes, causing dizziness in his head.In order to relieve the pressure in his heart, Ye Shuo could only shift his gaze, scanning everyone present one by one.

One by one, unfamiliar or familiar faces flashed in front of my eyes.These are people who are as alive as me, and any decision I make may cause their death. This feeling is really terrible.

Ye Shuo was deeply overwhelmed by this sense of powerlessness, and tightened his grip on the pen in his hand.

But what can I do?If you don't want to get rid of the implanted chip, you will die wherever you go!All that can be done now is to work hard to survive, so as to have a chance to defeat the mentor and avenge Yan Ziyi for everyone!

Thinking of this, he started searching among the crowd again.

The next thing I saw was Huangfu Li's face. It seemed that he had finished writing a long time ago and was meditating there.Ye Shuo had no choice but to admire this person, in such an environment, he could still cultivate freely.It's no wonder that he can become a prefect, he is valued by the instructor and respected by the students.

Wait...prefect?
A somewhat dark thought suddenly popped up from the bottom of Ye Shuo's heart.

Since he is very successful here and has a high prestige, there should be very few people who choose him.Then I might as well vote for him, so that no one will die because of me!
Thinking of this, Ye Shuo made up his mind and worked hard to overcome the psychological barrier. After a while, the words "Huangfuli" were printed on the paper.

Last night, he could ask everyone to kill Yan Ziyi without hesitation. I voted for him, so I can take revenge for Yan Ziyi... But, I really never thought of killing him by this... Ye Shuo whispered to himself in his heart.
