Li Ling reached out and wiped his hands, which were covered in blood—blood splattered onto his face when the students' heads exploded.
At this moment, Li Ling finally couldn't hold back any longer and vomited up his breakfast.
After vomiting, Li Ling felt much better. Her tense muscles relaxed a lot, and she wiped her mouth with her sleeve.
"You're a mouse!" The evil voice of the Daruma doll startled Li Ling awake: "The cat is coming soon, the cat is coming!"
Li Ling gritted his teeth, stared at the headless corpses filling the classroom, and with a fierce determination, turned around, grabbed the chair next to him, and smashed it at the Daruma doll!
Pfft—smack!
The chair in his hand slammed down on the doll, instantly smashing the roly-poly doll into pieces.
The next moment, Li Ling felt the World Seed in his mind suddenly tremble, and some shimmering white light emerged from the doll fragments, quickly surging into his head and being absorbed by the World Seed.
The next moment, he received a surge of cool energy that was more intense than ever before.
Li Ling felt his condition instantly reach its peak, and his mind gradually calmed down under the influence of this stronger energy.
Then this energy acts on one's own body.
"This is……"
Li Ling felt a surge of power coursing through his body. He clenched his fists tightly, his arm muscles bulging, and then slammed his right fist hard on the lectern.
With a crack, he smashed a hole in the thick tabletop.
"..."
Li Ling pulled out his fist. Although it hurt slightly, there was no broken skin or injury.
Recalling the previous situation, Li Ling exclaimed with delight, "The World Seed absorbed the aura from the doll fragments and then fed me back cool energy. Isn't that just like playing a game, where you can fight monsters and level up!"
The shadow of death was instantly dispelled by Li Ling's discovery, and at that moment, Li Ling's heart was filled with confidence.
God may kill, but I can kill gods and level up. Who's the cat? Who's the mouse? That's not necessarily true!
"I will kill the gods to prove my Dao!" Li Ling said fiercely.

Chapter 7: The Game Continues
"Um... I just happened to be very close, and I pressed... the button, and I... killed everyone... It's all my fault!"
"No, me too! It was me who took Zuo Wu..."
"Shun, what exactly happened?"
"I don't know either! ...Right, let's call the police."
"..."
As soon as Li Ling stepped out of the blood-stained classroom, he saw a tall, handsome high school boy and a pretty high school girl kneeling in the corridor, talking about something with mixed emotions of sadness and agitation.
Upon seeing their appearance, Li Ling's eyes lit up; he had encountered the male and female protagonists!
"Going to the police won't do any good."
Seeing the male protagonist, Shun Takahata, take out his phone to call the police, Li Ling walked over and said calmly.
Because the seed of the world in his mind was still constantly feeding back cool energy, Li Ling's mind remained calm at all times.
The male lead, Shun Takahata, and the female lead, Ichika Akimoto, both turned to look at him.
Akimoto Ichika instantly recognized the handsome man in front of her; they had greeted each other when she arrived at school that morning. Akimoto exclaimed excitedly, "Saito-sensei!"
"Saito-sensei."
The moment Takahata Shun saw Li Ling, he recognized him as well.
But perhaps out of same-sex rejection and jealousy, Shun Takahata subconsciously shielded Ichika Akimoto behind him.
Li Ling walked up to the two of them and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm just like you; I'm a survivor from the game."
"Teacher, you're saying this is a game?" Shun Takahata and Ichika Akimoto exclaimed in disbelief at the same time.
Li Ling nodded: "I think we're in big trouble! The Bodhidharma doll told me that I'm now the mouse, and the cat is coming."
"I heard it too!" Shun Takahata and Ichika Akimoto exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with terror as they recalled the near-death experience they had just endured. "Is it not over yet?"
"God!" Shun Takahata's voice trembled as he stared blankly at the sky. "Please give me back my boring daily life!"
"God?" Li Ling shook his head: "A god who treats people like ants is not worthy of being called a god! I think he's more like a devil."
The two recalled the bloody scene in the classroom and nodded repeatedly. Yes, the other side wasn't a god, but a devil!
Only the devil would so wantonly toy with and kill humans!
Despite this belief, Shun Takahata still wanted to call the police, but when he saw the words "outside the circle" on his phone signal, his heart sank and he felt increasingly uneasy.
Just then, a blood-stained Daruma doll chirped twice, drawing the attention of the three.
Despite the three people's stares, the doll still smiled sinisterly: "You're all mice, the cat's coming soon."
"It's coming!"
The piercing scream sent chills down the spines of Shun Takahata and Ichika Akimoto, but Li Ling stared at it with burning eyes and strode over.
"What do you want to do? Human, you..."
