Chapter 71: Math Class (1/2)

Due to the peaked-capped man’s mistake during his run, a chopstick was broken in half. With one long and one short, ultimately, it couldn’t pick things up anymore.

However, Bai Yan was not too troubled by them since he simply pinched each head by puncturing their eyes. The nose bridges between their eyes were used for support and were considerably reliable as he was pinching the ‘beans.’

Soon, he picked up the last ‘bean’ at the bottom of the jar.

And, when the last ‘bean’ fell inside the filled glass jar, all of the heads stopped moving and didn’t continue to make their loud wails anymore.

Moreover, since Bai Yan poked their eyes and made them blind, right now, they couldn’t use any means to glare bitterly at him, only being able to expressionlessly and obediently stay inside the filled jar. They were just stacked on top of each other as if their rage had been lost.

‘Slithers’ “I lost one dessert.”

The female ghost slowly extended her lengthy tongue, regretfully licking her dry lips.

These malicious ghosts seemed to be bound to this dreadful cellar and couldn’t wantonly kill humans.

He, Tom, was as good as dead and was fated to become the female ghost’s chewy snack. So, he… still needed to learn from the two Eastern players’ cruelty and use a similarly inhumane method.

In all honesty, Tom didn’t want to do this either.

As a humanitarian, he cherished animals and naturally, also didn’t want to imitate such a cruel way to use against his former co-player.

However, as a person who came from country A and who didn’t possess the slightest interest in Eastern culture——He, couldn’t use chopsticks!

He had never eaten a Chinese meal before, and when he saw the pinching beans game, his heart nearly crumbled to dust from distress.

Fortunately, this ‘pinching beans’ game didn’t absolutely require them to pinch in one manner. So long as the two sticks were together, impaling the ‘beans’ was also counted as being pinched.

He was a klutz when it came to handling chopsticks but was quite familiar with using forks.

Tom drew a cross on his chest as his mouth muttered something incoherent as if he was asking God to bless the fallen players inside the jar.

Before long, Tom had also finished the ‘beans.’

When the last ‘bean’ fell into the jar, the iron doors suddenly creaked open.

As the iron doors were opening, the ground was full of black hair that began to move crazily as if it were trying to undo a seal.

Seeing the hair that covered the female ghost’s front slowly disperse from both sides, the three people’s hearts jumped, resulting in them to hurriedly leave the room from fear of seeing the female ghost’s treacherous face.

None of them wanted to bet if they’d get killed once the female ghost’s face was fully exposed.

Once Tom also left the room, the iron doors automatically moved and closed with a disturbing ‘clang.’

Outside the door, there wasn’t a single sight of another player’s figure.

The three raised their heads and saw that the darkness that was once on top of the stairs had already spread down. It would soon turn the corner, engulfing the remaining stairs.

Seeing this scene, they too didn’t want to wait for the other players and rushed to follow the stairs down.

After running for around a minute, a floor appeared ahead of the steps.

On this floor, there stood the players that they saw not too long ago and also Liu Xiyu inside.

The three hastened their pace to rendezvous with the others. Bai Yan raised his head as his eyes saw a painting on the floor—— This was the -7th floor.

The floor before was just the -1st floor, so how could this floor become the -7th floor?

Bai Yan thought that this staircase’s arrangement was problematic, but with the notion of this being a dream, he felt that reason didn’t play an important role.

In dreams, the first second, you’re still standing inside a house, but the next, you’re maybe thrown into a large rabbit hole. After that, you could find yourself suddenly emerging into a sullen police station.

In dreams, anything that appeared wouldn’t be odd to the dream’s owner since their brain would naturally make them believe that it was all normal.

Liu Xiyu was just standing there in the middle of the crowd. Bai Yan shot a glance at her and felt that she still wasn’t about to wake up.

Moving on to more important matters, he counted the remaining people left, and not including Liu Xiyu, there were still nine players here.

So, a total of two players died on -1st floor.

Listening to the claims of the players surrounding him, the dead nameless players were in the room with Liu Xiyu.

According to them, Liu Xiyu was arranged to be the last person to play by the ghost, and when it was her turn, the players ahead of her had already stepped on all of the mines there, so she effortlessly cleared the game and didn’t experience the slightest problem.

“If the app is still making us protect her, isn’t like this studying with the prince(1)?”

A player ridiculed the situation in whispers. Liu Xiyu turned a deaf ear to this, but no one knew whether it was the app’s censorship, her not hearing it, or her simply not paying any mind to it.

Everyone stood on the -7th floor to exchange information, getting a general understanding of what happened inside the other rooms.

After their exchanges, they saw the dense dark fog quickly pursuing them, promptly entering the room.

This time, everybody didn’t need to think long and hard about it.

Because, on the -7th floor, there was only one iron door available in the middle of the cellar.

Everyone entered the door in succession and what appeared in front of their eyes was an ordinary classroom.

The classroom had electric lights, electric fans, and also around 50 tables and chairs. Each table contained a pile of all kinds of books and stationery.

At the front of the classroom, a teacher was standing on the platform and writing on the blackboard with red chalk, his back facing everyone.

The writings on the blackboard were quite peculiar. They were a variety of odd mathematical symbols.

Among the group of players, there was a graduate student from the Mathematics Department, but even he still had to admit that he had never seen these symbols before. They appeared to be another world’s characters.

“Teacher, Teacher Zhang!”
