Chapter 153: The Second Poll
When other classes were trapped in the school, they would fight and scheme against each other and expose the darkest sides of humanity to survive. However, Class 13 was different. Everyone was doing their own crazy little thing.
Zuo Jun wanted to control the whole class so that they would cooperate with the centre. He wanted to finish Situ Ans orders, but different voices appeared in the class on the second day. He wanted to make an example out of someone, but some of the students had clearly sided with the student council. For example, Liu Yi and Ji Jie. Their confidence made it so that Zuo Jun didnt dare to make a move rashly.
The external situation was changing rapidly, and the internal situation was extremely unstable. Class 13 was like a train on fire. The train might explode at any moment, but it was still chugging at high speed.
The front and back doors of the classroom were open. More students kept coming in. Some of them were students from Class 13, while others were ghosts invited from other classes.
Three minutes before the class was about to start, Ji Jies brother, Ji Fu, appeared at the backdoor with a bag full of food and water.
Bro! Ji Jie waved at his brother happily, but Ji Fu looked at him in fear. He shouted at the students around him. Dont be tricked by him! Hes not my little brother. Hes a demon that will kill without mercy! I led him into my bedroom yesterday night. My little brother is already dead!
The brothers were not bad people. Ji Fu followed Ji Jie silently and came to notify Class 13 of the dangers.
Bro? Im not a ghost, but I was chosen by one. Ji Jie explained quickly. You are all afraid of the ghost on my back. I am afraid too, but it will not harm me!
Gao Ming slumped on the table. The plot imagined by the brothers somehow linked up.
Ji Jie picked up the ugly doll yesterday night. In the eyes of the others, Ji Jie became their biggest nightmare. Ji Jie didnt even understand why and thought that there was an evil ghost hidden behind him. As Fear Illness infected him, and when Fear Illness materialised, something might be born on his back.
The bell rang as the two brothers argued. The students returned to their seats. Ji Fu wanted to leave, but he realised the backdoor was locked. He tried the front door and almost bumped into the female teacher.
Go back to your seat. The female teachers voice was scary. She wore the teachers ID. It was as if youd die if you went against her orders.
Ji Fu silently turned around and took a seat at the very back of the class. Ji Jie, who was showing off earlier, also walked down from the podium and took his seat. The two doors were closed. The female teacher scanned the class. Her thin brows scrunched up together. She mentioned during the class yesterday that if there were people missing from the class today, everyone would miss the chance to take the bus to leave the school.
After she made a roll call, she realised there were more than 51 students in class.
The female teachers eyes darkened. She stood there for a while before writing these two numbers on the blackboard, 37 and 17.
Are there 54 people in the class? Where are the extra three?
Many students didnt notice this at first. After the doors closed, everyone started to look around. There were indeed three more people in the class. They had no seats. They were Ji Fu, who came to warn them, Bai Xiao in the centre uniform and the injured Yuan Hui.
The teacher requested that everyone come to class, and there couldnt be any empty seats. Therefore, the students went to find others to fill up the empty seats. In the end, they got too many replacement students.
You already know the meaning of the two numbers on the board. They represent the number of ghosts and humans in this class. There are 54 students in class, but there are only 51 seats. The female teacher stood in the middle of the podium. The dangerous colour of blood bled out of the teachers uniform. Now, you are going to make your second poll. Pick out the extra three people in the class, and they will die. The female teacher started the second poll. The first poll was for the students to choose their survival or death. The second poll was for the students to select the candidates to kill. After they got the ballot paper, the students all turned to the people from Ma Taos bedroom. Yesterday, Ma Tao revealed the fact that he was a ghost. In fact, it didnt matter if he was a ghost or not. The important thing was that the others had found a reason to kill.
Ma Tao hadnt even been that long in class. He shivered from being stared at. He lost the mood to drink, and his face paled.
Why are you looking at me for? Fatty was really scared. Ive only been for 17 minutes. I didnt do anything. I havent even finished my breakfast yet. Are you people the devils?
The teacher said we need to vote for three people to die. Ghosts have already died once before. Therefore, everyone should know who to vote for, right? Qian Junran wrote down three names. His roommates started to write as well.
Wait! Ma Tao grabbed his robotic cat thermos. You can use this chance to eliminate the most dangerous person in this class and the most unstable factor. Ask yourself. Are we the most dangerous people here? We were always the ones to sacrifice ourselves. When you were arguing earlier, we said nothing. Compared to some of you, the people from my bedroom are model students!
Ma Tao spoke from his heart. He had no choice. Everyone from this class was crazy!
Dont you hate someone in your heart? Then, vote for him! What better chance than this to eliminate someone? Ma Tao kept trying to sway the class, but everyone used pity to look at him and his friends.
Let me say something. Ji Jie suddenly spoke. He tapped the table lightly and casually revealed his branded watch. Its undeniable that there are ghosts in our class. We have to chase them out, but not through this vicious method. The difference between humans and ghosts is humanity. If we act like ghosts and casually strip away another persons rights to live, then what makes us different from the ghosts?
Perhaps they were bought in by his confidence, and some of the students agreed with Ji Jie. Ji Jie slowly stood up and rubbed the ballot paper into a ball. The purpose of voting is to pick out hope, not to create despair.
The ball fell to the ground. Ji Jie openly challenged the female teachers authority.
Zuo Jun almost snapped his pencil in half. This was only the second day, and his classmates were already prepared to fight the teacher. Who gave him the confidence?
Ji Jie placed his hands in his pocket. The atmosphere turned dangerous. Wang Jie reached into his pocket and silently hid a special dagger in his sleeve. Liu Yi touched the student council badge. Zuo Bo searched for something in his bloody bag. Gao Mings eyes shone with a bit of hope.
