Shen Dongqing carried Guo Guo who was the initiator of the ruckus. After contemplating briefly, he decided against wasting his ice cream and acted against her directly.

He tickled Guo Guo’s armpits. yuK2pH

Guo Guo: “……”

The sob suddenly turned into a giggling noise halfway through, since Guo Guo could not resist laughing as her sensitive spots were being tickled. With the tears hanging at the corners of her eyes as she laughed, she looked rather cute.

As for the other children, insomuch as crying could influence them, laughter was equally contagious.

With Guo Guo laughing first, the sound of grief turned into a sea of joy as all the children started laughing out loud as they cried. 1WdkSK

The teachers released a breath.

As Guo Guo laughed until the point she was gasping for air, she begged for mercy: “Let go of me, let go of me…”

Shen Dongqing placed Guo Guo on the ground.

Guo Guo stopped laughing and glared at him huffily before she started to run away in a series of patters. Nqnfmd

However, before she could take two steps out, she was grabbed by the scruff of her neck heartlessly, and she could only march in place.

Turning her head back, Guo Guo saw a familiar face and she nearly wanted to cry out of frustration. Aggrieved, she exclaimed: “I don’t wanna play games with all of you anymore!”

Why were they still bullying her when they refused to play the game no matter what they did?

Shen Dongqing hauled her back like he was holding a little chick. “I’ll play with you.” T2a9Y6

Guo Guo: ……

She finally found someone who wanted to play games with her, but why couldn’t she muster any happiness at all?

After having her two previous attempts foiled, Guo Guo did not want to play games with this bad person, but in accordance with the rules stipulated in the kindergarten, as long as someone was willing to play the game, they were not allowed to reject it.

Guo Guo lowered her head, staring at her small feet. After giving it some thought, she said: “We’ll play handkerchief throw, whoever wants to play raise your hands!” roaljs

Several hands raised up.

It was all the children, and none of them chose to put their hands down.

Then, two big hands raised up slowly.

They belonged to Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan, and the pair smiled at each other. kpioj4

The other players exchanged looks.

The Long-skirted Lady had become the first cannon fodder among them precisely because she had agreed to the children’s request. The death conditions were placed right in front of their faces in explicit terms, who would still choose to violate them?

Apart from Fang Qi, who still believed in the strength of the two Big Bosses, the gazes that the other players were regarding them with, gave the impression that they were looking at dead people.

Guo Guo lifted her head to stare at them: “Have you played Throw the Handkerchief before?” rRdXqA

Shen Dongqing shook his head: “No.”

Perhaps owing to the fact that he had never been to kindergarten, he had never heard of such a game at all.

Feeling like the chances of their victory was higher, Guo Guo grinned happily. “The Handkerchief Thrower is the ghost, and the person who has the handkerchief thrown behind them needs to catch the ghost. If they don’t catch the ghost and allow the ghost to take their seat….” She paused, a strange glint twinkling her eyes, “They will become the next ghost!”

She clearly had an innocent and tender voice, but her strange depiction of the scene caused an intense contrast which made the onlookers’ hearts chill. bWLXmC

Guo Guo stared at Shen Dongqing, pleased, wanting to see his terrified expression.

However, she was slated for disappointment; not only was Shen Dongqing not afraid, he even replied in an expectant tone: “That sounds rather fun!”

Guo Guo stomped her foot angrily, “Let’s start!”

The space in the classroom was not large by any measure, so the children went to the field. Similarly, the players followed along for the sake of obtaining information about the “game”. MLmJBD

The children did not require any guidance at all; they sat down on the flat grass in succession and in an orderly manner to form a circle. There were two empty seats in the circle which happened to be opposite of one another.

Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan sat down, and they looked particularly conspicuous amidst a bunch of small loli heads.

The other children started singing as well.

“Throw, throw, throw the handkerchief~”

“Put it behind your friend’s back gently~”

“Do not tell him, do not, do not tell him……” o1fKMF

It was originally a happy tune, but the scene abruptly changed when they sang it for the second time. The children’s voices started to sway, stuttering and jamming, and they were even interspaced with bursts of laughter from the children.

The child with a lowered head started to walk in circles.

One round, two rounds……

By virtue of his short legs, his speed was rather slow. He needed to take two steps to cover the distance that an adult would accomplish in one, and he did not manage to walk one full circle even after the song was sung once. 3E7Y4D

Fang Qi, who had been observing from the side lines, made a surprised noise.

The Blonde Lady, who had been wholly absorbed in watching, pushed him. “You scared me!”

Fang Qi said: “There’s one extra person.”

Feeling strange, the Blonde Lady asked: “One extra what?” 7I2l4N

Just as she said that, she came to her senses. There was an extra child on the field!

Since the three of them were acting as kindergarten teachers, they spent the greatest amount of time with the children. They knew that the class had a total of twelve students, but there were thirteen

Zhou Wenyan: “Forget it.”

Since the children did not want to cooperate at all, they could only forsake the game-playing method to obtain clues for the time being.

Thus, the two local tyrants departed again.

The teachers discovered that after these children had been beaten up relentlessly by society, they became exceptionally obedient. They stopped pulling at the teachers, asking them to play the game, and it even went to the extent where tears would start welling in their eyes subconsciously when they heard the word “game”. kT6SrN

It practically reached the point where the listeners would feel sad and the witnesses would shed tears, since the possibility was too horrible and tragic to imagine.

Hence, another day passed like this.

Perhaps because someone had played the game with the children, the day went by peacefully, and no lives were lost. However, the player did not dare to relax their vigilance either. When it was time for them to sleep, they shrank back to their dormitories, not dating to go out. drkQHF

But two people remained as exceptions to this rule.

Shen Dongqing took a short nap, only waking up when it was time to depart. However, because his drowsiness had yet to dissipate, he hung onto Zhou Wenyan’s body like a sloth.

Thankfully, Zhou Wenyan had a lot of strength, and he half-carried his partner out of the room directly.

The kindergarten was extremely quiet at night. Not even the sound of a cricket could be heard; it was like a dead piece of land. y9paIe

The Dean’s office was also on the second floor. Without requiring much time, the pair travelled down the second-floor corridor and reached the entrance.

Shen Dongqing was about to go forward to open the door when Zhou Wenyan called him to a stop. “Wait.”

He halted, smelling a waft of blood. When he lowered his head to look, he saw fresh blood flowing out from the crack in the door of the Dean’s room, which immediately stained a large area of the ground.

Zhou Wenyan jumped past the pool of fresh blood on the ground. Before he had the time to push open the door, the heavy door opened by itself. It was even a buy one get one free situation, wherein a human figure fell to the ground and split into four to five pieces like a watermelon. nBHqvF

Under the aid of the moonlight, they could see a head with dyed hair rolling over with a rumble.

It was the Blonde-haired Boy from the pair of sweethearts, who was also a security guard in the kindergarten.

It was highly likely that something happened during his night shift.

Zhou Wenyan moved his feet away to evade the blood that was flowing over. He gave the corpse on the ground a sweeping glance. “Is this considered a warning?” dQB3DP

Rather than being frightened by the sight, Shen Dongqing became more motivated instead: “Let’s go in and have a look.”

A player folding here meant that there was something interesting inside.

Zhou Wenyan had the same thought too.

Hence, the pair entered the Dean’s office one after another. 3Lqo1z

The Dean’s office appeared different at night compared to daytime. It was completely dark inside, as though it were a beast that devoured humans and wanted to swallow them whole.
