What's Wrong With Seeking Death? - Chapter 3
The Class Monitor, who was lying on the ground, was helped up with his face still frozen in shock. He opened his mouth as if he was about to say something before his eyes flicked across the table. His expression suddenly changed and he immediately closed his mouth.
Xu Turan followed his gaze and saw an open event card. She walked over, picked it up and saw that it was a clock pattern that had its hands pointed to 12 o’clock.
“This is the card that the Class Monitor just drew,” The girl named Xiaomi walked up to her and whispered. Perhaps because of Xu Turan’s ‘first aid’ just now, their attitude towards her was currently much more gentle. When the girl spoke, she was a little embarrassed, quietly apologising to Xu Turan.
Remembering something that she had noticed before, Xu Turan rolled her eyes and picked up a small flashlight from the table, “Did he read this event card before the accident?”
Xiaomi nodded.
Every time someone walked to a specific grid, one event card would have to be drawn. Then, the player must complete the challenge requirements stated on the card; failure to do so will result in ‘elimination’.
The cards were all specially made as the text on them could only be seen through the small flashlight that comes with the box. Xu Turan found the small flashlight and pointed it at the card. Small and clear words appeared on the card that originally only had patterns.
[Event: You have accepted the test of courage challenge from the owner of the homestay. Now stand with your legs apart, bend over and look back from between your legs. And during the viewing process, you are not allowed to make a sound, move about nor close your eyes. After holding on for five seconds, the challenge is considered complete.]
[Friendly reminder: Prying eyes will definitely attract the prying eyes of others. If the challenger sees something strange, please do not share it with other players. Otherwise, offenders will bear the consequences. ?
…no wonder.
Xu Turan’s eyebrows moved slightly.
She checked with Xiaomi again, and sure enough, the scream just now came from the Class Monitor as he was doing the challenge written on the card.
He was bending over to look behind him at that time. Because of the angle, the others couldn’t see his face. They only knew that he suddenly yelled in horror and fell forward. Then, he pointed to the stairs which led to the second floor, said something vaguely and began to choke himself desperately with his hands.
It’s as if he was being possessed by an evil spirit,” Xiaomi recalled the situation at that time, still feeling very frightened.
Xu Turan said in her heart, be more confident and remove the ‘as if’.
As a transmigrator, she was more sensitive in some aspects than others. Basically, she could ‘see’ more.
Why would the Class Monitor want to choke himself? Xu Turan could see clearly that there was clearly a black shadow behind him at that time. It was the shadow that kept controlling his hands, grasping his throat desperately.
The Class Monitor probably unconsciously revealed what he saw at the time, and hence, was ‘punished’ as a result.
That’s why she stabbed the floor with a knife just now—what she stabbed was actually the head of that black shadow. After the black shadow was stabbed, it fled out of pain and the Class Monitor was saved.
Thinking of this, Xu Turan couldn’t help reaching out to touch the ring on her little finger.
This was not an ordinary ring, but an item from the blind box given to her by the system. Its abilities allowed the wearer to attack all forms of existence. If it wasn’t for this ring, Xu Turan really wasn’t sure that she would be able to save him.
Fortunately, the act of hunting shadows and trying to exterminate them on the spot did not seem to be classified under the behaviour restrictions of a transmigrater, which made Xu Turan somewhat relieved. After all, she was only here to die, not to collect corpses. If everyone remained dead and things really turned out to bear the same outcome as the original plot, only God knows how much trouble would follow.
Xu Turan’s eyes turned slightly. Seeing that Xiaomi behind her had already started tidying up the messed-up table, she thought she was going to put away the board game. Therefore, she put back the cards and small flashlight in her hand.
After that, she asked the 7th person who was supposed to attend the party. However, Xiaomi merely expressed her confusion, “Who else is coming? I don’t know. We were the only ones who were supposed to come.”
Xu Turan was the one that was added later.
