T/N: I think the author took down the rest of chapter 14 to make room for her long authors note, so I wrote the chapter for you guys. I dont know exactly what happened, but I can infer from context clues. If you dont want to read this, then just know that youll be missing the end of round 1 and the entirety of round 2. I cant put this under a drop down without ruining the spacing, so just scroll down to the grey line for chapter 15, or CTRL + F and type it in.

TRIGGER WARNING: GORE IN CHAPTER 14

Chapter 14 (continued):

As someone approached with the bottle of sulfuric acid, Wang Tongs eyes frantically darted to and fro, like he was hoping a miracle would emerge out of thin air. However, there were solely the twisted forms of his classmates as they gripped his limbs, slightly anticipating what was to come. But they were forced to do this! After all, Wang Tong would merely lose function in one hand, but everyone elses lives would be forfeit if he didnt touch the sulfuric acid!

Wang Tong was infuriated, but he could only watch as the boy with a buzz cut, the brother who was usually the most obedient, snatched the bottle and turned around.

Wang Tong, you only have yourself to blame! Buzz Cut said, each word dripping with hatred. Several other people nodded as they positioned Wang Tongs hand.

Wang Tongs eyes widened as reality began to sink in. Despite being struck heavily twice, he was able to somewhat bear the excruciating agony because of his original toughness. He even had the energy to be angry! But he understood that he was about to experience pain far worse.

Relying on the last of his strength, he fiercely squirmed in an attempt to break free. This proved to be futile, as the others just applied more force to hold him down.

With one thrust, Wang Tongs hand was mercilessly shoved into the bottle of sulfuric acid.

AHHHHHHHH!!!

Layers of his tissue and muscle gradually parted, pushing him to the brink of insanity. His skin blackened, burning away as each cell was destroyed. Within seconds, his right hand was so disfigured that it was difficult to recognize.

This kind of torture revived Wang Tongs impulses, and his hand started to wildly thrash around. As the sulfuric acid sloshed around, a few drops managed to land outside.

Motherf*cker!

Everyone scrambled away as Buzz Cut threw the bottle at the wall, clutching his own hand with a grim expression.

Wang Tong, on the other hand, had to endure the most suffering. Now that his limbs were free, he rolled onto his side and howled in anguish, tears involuntarily streaming down his face. He felt like he was close to fainting at any moment, yet there was something keeping him conscious. He had deteriorated to the point that he was numb to everything except the waves and waves of agony.

With a murderous gaze, Buzz Cut seized a handful of Wang Tongs hair and tilted the others head. Everyone else returned to restrain his arms and legs. Their fury nearly matched that of Buzz Cuts.

Cant you think from our perspective for once? Well be killed if we dont pass this round of the game! Buzz Cut roared. All the people surrounding him were increasingly anxious as they waited for the broadcast. Did Wang Tongs actions cause them to lose the round?

But a contemptuous glint actually appeared in Wang Tongs eyes when he heard Buzz Cut. He might have even grinned if he wasnt in so much pain! He wasnt stupid, and he knew that he was beyond saving. Thus, what he currently wished for the most was to drag his classmates down with him!

You still want to mock us? Lets see how you behave when I dig out those eyes of yours! A random person shouted.

The broadcast abruptly turned on. {Congratulations to the players for winning the first round! There seems to be a very interesting suggestion for the next round. Shouldnt the KING be punished for his arrogance? If player Wang Tongs eyes are successfully gouged out by other players, the second round will be cleared!}

The students were stunned. They never thought that the broadcast would go so far! No one was willing to do the deed as they glanced at Wang Tong. A few people even stumbled to the side to retch as they pictured Wang Tongs face without eyes. They didnt have the courage to look at him anymore!

Stop!! Dont do it, bast*rds! Wang Tong hoarsely cried. It was too much! In addition to his ruined hand, Wang Tong couldnt perceive a single part of his body that didnt hurt. The hair on his forehead was matted in sweat, and his teeth were clenched so tightly that he was afraid they would crack under the pressure.

There was a period of silence before someone spoke.

I dont want to die, Buzz Cut said. His words seemed to remind everyone. Suddenly, the idea of digging out Wang Tongs eyes wasnt so appalling any more.

Wang Tong aggressively shut his eyes, but he had already given up in his heart. Death would be his sole savior!

Soon, his left eye was pried open by Buzz Cut. He stared in absolute dread as the fingers descended upon him like the claws of a hungry monster. In one swift motion, his eyeball was pulled out!

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Wang Tong convulsed, foam frothing from the corners of his mouth. Blood gushed out from beneath his sagging eyelid, mixing with his tears. Eventually, his movement ceased. If he wasnt still breathing, one would think that he was already dead!

Before long, Wang Tong was left completely blind, and his blood was splattered all over his classmates. However, his mind had already collapsed, and it was unknown what was going on in his head. All the people around him couldnt help but feel a little uncomfortable when they saw a man so devastated.

But he wasnt human now. Anyone that looked like that definitely had to be a demon!

{Congratulations to the players for winning the second round!} There was a light chuckle in the broadcasts voice, like it had seen an amusing play. {This round will be the final one. You all must cut off player Wang Tongs right leg!}

On the table where the bottle of sulfuric acid previously was, a saw had appeared.

Everyone slowly turned towards it, their expressions a bit unhinged. Yes, it was only a demon!

Chapter 15:

Quickly bring that saw over here, hurry up! Buzz Cut yelled to the people around him. He pressed down Wang Tong, who was already taking his last breath.

It was the final round! If they sawed off Wang Tongs right leg, they would be able to survive!

Everyones expressions contained hints of savagery and hideousness. In their madness, they had turned bloodthirsty.

Wang Tong lay on the ground. His entire right hand seemed to be corroded by something, and white bone jutted out from underneath the mutilated flesh. Even his skin was starting to peel off, all while plasma leaked from the back of his head. Both of his eyes had been dug out by others, and he was left with empty sockets, just like a skeleton. Fresh blood painted his face red as it oozed from the place where his eyes used to be. Wang Tong was motionless, looking no different from a corpse.

Creak, creak.

Creak, creak.

The students clothes, hands, and faces were stained with blood. Some stood, some sat, and some grabbed onto Wang Tongs four limbs.

They were expressionless, yet attentive.

Faster! Much faster!

As long as his leg is sawed off, we can live!

Much faster! Much faster!

Bam. The saw fell to the ground.

Sawed off!

Everyones eyes bulged, filled with ecstasy.

Were going to live! So great!

{Checking health values. The health value of player Wang Tong, the KING of this round, is zero. The game fails.} The broadcast sounded precisely at this moment, with a taunting voice of

undisturbed waves

.

What? Fails?

How can it be like this? Didnt the broadcast say that we could survive if we completed the task?

Im still young, I dont want to die. Wuwu

All the people were dumbfounded. They initially thought that they had finally escaped the game and could be rewarded with the chance to live. Who could have predicted that there was this trick?

But didnt you say that! You simply didnt say that Wang Tong couldnt die! A girl broke down, shouting loudly at the broadcast system. Her eyes brimmed with hatred.

{I didnt say that? My original words were: As long as you succeed, you can bring them and leave.} Surprisingly, the broadcast began to answer her question. {Since all characteristics of life have vanished from him, he cant take you all away, am I correct?}

{As the game has already failed, you all have no way of leaving. Then, congratulations to Gao Xuhan for becoming the only player to escape.} The broadcasts voice was slightly bewitching, but when it read Gao Xuhans name, it paused. At the same time, everyone burned with rage, their anger like a volcano that was about to erupt.

Why her? Why is it her?

Right! Its exactly her!

She was the one who tampered with the rules of the game!

Why can she live? And why did they have to die? Disagree! I disagree!!

{Poor bugs, say goodbye to the world! After two hours, hell will reappear! You all! All of you go die!} The voice raised in decibels, and dragged on for a long time. When it finished the last word, it seemed like the broadcast system had been cut off halfway, and it abruptly went quiet.

The vines, which had once flooded the whole room, retreated as quickly as they came.

In an instant, their surroundings were restored to their original appearance.

But all the people present knew that this was merely the brief calm before the storm.

Gao Xuhans legs softened. In the second that she opened the box, something rushed out, swiftly escaping. The box was clearly only the size of her hand, but what it contained was like a bottomless hole. Its features couldnt be fully seen, though it was a deep black color and very thick and sticky. It crawled out little by little at an extremely slow speed, but wherever it went, it swallowed everything. Afterwards, those places looked like they had been corroded. Without end, it grew progressively larger.

Gao Xuhan dashed out, running aimlessly until she was so exhausted she had to stop. Under a night lit by a scarlet moon, she gasped for breath, wondering where she could go.

She wanted to hide, to live.

Gao Xuhan! A girl spotted her from afar. Her eyes were bloodshot, and in the moment that she shouted Gao Xuhans name, a group of people appeared behind her. Every one of them glared at Gao Xuhan as if she had murdered their father.

Gao Xuhan was stunned. Her intuition told her that they didnt have good intentions, so she started to back away. But when those people noticed that she wanted to flee, their expressions became even more ferocious. Similar to

a swarm of bees

, they all rushed to grab her.

B*tch! You b*tch!

Why dont you go and die!

Like a pitiful dog, Gao Xuhan was pushed to the ground. Before she could reco
