Chapter 137: Blood-red podium, pitiful role!
Gurgle.
The head that was knocked off rolled across the floor like a ball.
The headless body remained standing, with a fountain of blood gushing from the neck, but it soon stopped.
The students below seemed delighted by the scene, bursting into laughter once again.
A few students in the front row laughed so hard they clutched their stomachs, pointing at the headless body and mocking mercilessly, "Er Dan, you're so lame! How could you get such a simple question so wrong?"
The classroom atmosphere seemed to become even more harmonious.
The players, however, broke out in a cold sweat.
If that ruler landed on them, their immunity token would be gone!
Getting a question wrong could be so severe that it cost you your life?
The headless body swayed a couple of times but didn't fall. Instead, it suddenly turned around, picked up the head from the floor, and reattached it to the neck.Just like a toy, once reassembled, the boy opened his eyes, his expression even more aggrieved, "Teacher, you lied to me, you said you'd go easy!"
But the boy dared not say more and obediently returned to his seat.
"Let's continue, the next student is..."
Mr. Yan held the seating chart, his gaze moving over it.
The players dared not make eye contact, their hearts pounding as if they would leap out of their throats.
This was far more nerve-wracking than being called on by a teacher as a child; getting called meant risking your life!
Soon, a girl in the front row was called. She didn't seem to be a player, confidently walked up to the podium, quickly completed the answer, and added a smiley face at the end.
Mr. Yan nodded in satisfaction and rewarded her with two candies.
Then, he continued calling names.
"Gu Shuqin."
Another girl from the front row, with a youthful face but an unusual steadiness in her eyes.
"Player," Qin Nuo adjusted his glasses, confirming her identity.
The other players secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at her with sympathy.
Gu Shuqin showed no signs of panic, calmly left her seat, and walked to the podium.
"Seems like she's playing the role of a top student."
Qin Nuo murmured, if she was a top student, as long as she answered perfectly, she could avoid punishment and gain role-playing points.
Li Xiaoming was a genuine top student, so for Qin Nuo, it didn't matter if he was chosen, as long as he answered correctly.
Gu Shuqin went to the podium, picked up the chalk, and solved the problem on the blackboard quickly and perfectly.
Putting the chalk back in the box, Gu Shuqin smiled and asked, "Teacher, how did I do?"
Mr. Yan stroked his chin, his chiseled face showing a faintly meaningful smile.
"You answered very correctly, flawless."
Gu Shuqin gave a playful smile, "Can I have candies then, can I have three?"
Mr. Yan adjusted his glasses, a doting smile on his face, "Of course, you answered so well, three candies is too few, I'll reward you with four."
At the same time, in Gu Shuqin's mind, the game notification for increased role-playing points sounded smoothly.
Gu Shuqin's smile grew brighter as she took the four candies and walked off the podium.
"Gu, wait a moment."
Gu Shuqin stopped, turned back, and asked, "What's the matter, teacher?"
Just as she asked, everything went black.
Immediately, she lost all consciousness.
She didn't know what happened, but Qin Nuo and the others saw it clearly.
As Gu Shuqin turned, Mr. Yan, expressionless, picked up the ruler from the table and slashed it across her neck, causing her head to roll off.
The hot fountain of blood splashed the desks and students in front, painting them blood red.
Gu Shuqin's headless body swayed a few times before collapsing to the ground.
Half of Mr. Yan's face was stained red, a sinister smile breaking through his refined exterior, "You answered well, but I'm not satisfied."
This move left the players dumbfounded once again.
What happened?
She answered correctly, so why was Gu Shuqin punished, and even worse than Li Zicong?
Her head was gone!
The headless body on the ground didn't pick up the head and reattach it like the boy did, but instead turned into a puff of black smoke and dissipated.
Gu Shuqin would probably be bewildered even if she revived.
She suddenly used up her immunity token and ended the game!
The students in the front row started playing around happily, wiping the blood off their faces and smearing it on their neighbors.
The bloody scene seemed only to become more entertaining in their eyes, with fear and dread seemingly extinguished from their instincts.
Initially thinking the classroom setting was normal, the players now only felt their faces burning.
The once clean podium now seemed like a bloody hell.
They had thought that perfect role-playing would prevent any horror incidents and ensure safety.
But the experience of the past ten minutes told them that role-playing was just part of this instance!
Mr. Yan didn't wipe the blood off his face, nor did he care about Gu Shuqin's sudden and eerie disappearance, returning to the podium with that gentle smile.
"So, there's one last question. Who will answer it?"
The players instinctively lowered their heads, even those playing top students, terrified of making eye contact and being called up.
Li Zicong lay on the desk, using some ghost creature to temporarily stop the blood flowing from his severed arm.
He trembled and muttered, "Damn, what kind of ghost instance is this, so terrifying on the first day, how do we continue?"
Qin Nuo quickly lowered his head as well, the Blood-Eyed Ghost couldn't help but mock, "So you have a cowardly side too?"
Qin Nuo replied helplessly, "I just don't want to waste a life."
"Getting hit for a wrong answer, and even for a correct one, it's too bizarre."
Mr. Yan scanned the room, seemingly unable to find a suitable candidate, and said, "How about this, let's have the class monitor answer the last question, what do you all think?"
Not being called, the students naturally had no objections, echoing the call for the class monitor.
"Who's the unlucky class monitor?" Qin Nuo looked around.
He found many classmates' gazes focused on him.
In an instant, Qin Nuo felt a chill run through his body.
Are you kidding me?
The players, seeing this, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A few players sighed in relief, unable to help but think, "Who is that player? So unlucky to play such a troublesome role!"
"Let's have a moment of silence for him."
"Li, the class monitor, what are you waiting for? This kind of question is a piece of cake for you, just set an example for everyone!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Mr. Yan's gaze also fell on Qin Nuo, smiling as he spoke.
Qin Nuo's mouth twitched, and he said, "I... I'm a bit shy."
Mr. Yan seemed amused by Qin Nuo's humor, saying, "No wonder so many teachers like you, you're not only good at studying but also love humor, truly a delightful child."
Qin Nuo: "..."
The Blood-Eyed Ghost wanted to help Qin Nuo, saying, "Go answer, if he tries to hit you with the ruler, I'll hit him first!"
Qin Nuo smiled wryly, "That might make things even worse."
"Have you ever seen a model student hit back at a teacher in class?"
"My role-playing points would drop to negative, and this instance would end right away!"
