...
The cheerful music started playing again in the room, but this time it sounded like a deadly curse.
Four puppets circled around the blindfolded Odagiri-san, spinning her around as they sang the song again:
"Bamboo cage, bamboo cage, little bird in the cage, when, when will it come out? Early morning, evening, the white crane and the tortoise slipped and fell, who is behind you facing you?"
Odagiri's lips trembled with nervousness, and he couldn't utter a word.
She could still smell the blood flowing from Sakurai's corpse on the ground, which made Odagiri feel as if the Grim Reaper's scythe was swinging towards her.
"Who is it? Who is it?" Odagiri cried out anxiously, tears and snot streaming down his face. "Who is it?" Odagiri had no idea who was behind him.
"Time's up." The doll Hanako's cold voice rang out from the side, and the doll's eyes turned blood red again.
"No!!"
Odagiri ripped off the blindfold and screamed in terror. He shoved aside the Hanako doll, stood up, and tried to run away.
The two dolls instantly floated in front of Odagiri, blocking her escape route.
Odagiri stopped and turned around. Two more dolls were behind her, and the four dolls blocked her way on all four sides, leaving her nowhere to escape.
Odagiri turned to look at the four dolls surrounding him, shaking his head in despair and crying out, "No...no!"
Hanako's scarlet eyes emitted blood-red laser beams that struck Odagiri's forehead, causing him to cry out in pain.
Ah~
Gradually, under the crimson laser beam, Odagiri's painful cries subsided, her face became blank, and her body stood motionless.
Hehehe~
The dolls Hanako in front of Odagiri and Akemi behind him showed expressions of joy.
"Ah~"
The two puppets floated in the air, their bodies leaning backward as if they were pulling on something with great effort.
As the two dolls fell backward, Odagiri's legs were straightened, and all ten toes of his feet were bent forcefully.
As if pulled by an invisible force, the right foot moves forward and the left foot moves backward, and the body gradually lowers to perform a split.
As his splits became more and more defined, Odagiri couldn't help but show a pained expression on his blank face.
Finally, the splits were completed, with one leg in front and the other behind Odagiri.
But the pulling force continued, and Odagiri eventually unconsciously let out a painful groan.
As the two puppets leaned back, her right foot was still being pulled forward by an invisible force, while her left foot was being pulled backward.
Hiss—
Odagiri's two legs were ripped from his body, and bright red blood flowed out. Odagiri's blank body fell to the ground, his upper body twitched unconsciously twice, and finally stopped moving.
Behind Li Ling, Akimoto Ichika's eyes were wide open in terror as she clearly saw this bloody and cruel scene. She covered her mouth tightly with her hands, trying her best not to make a sound.
Her breathing became increasingly labored, like an old woman on the verge of death struggling to breathe her last breath.
Akimoto could hear the rapid pounding of his own heart.
Thump! Thump!
My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it could jump out of my body at any moment.
Sudden--
The four dolls turned around and looked at Akimoto Ichika, then slowly floated over.
The game... must continue!
"Akimoto-kun." The voices of the four dolls rang out simultaneously.
Akimoto Ichika slumped to the ground, completely silent. After two rounds of the death game, especially the two girls who died tragically in front of her, Akimoto Ichika's mind became dazed.
She is now on the verge of a mental breakdown, slumped on the ground, her head shaking unconsciously.
"Akimoto-kun~" the four dolls called out again, but Akimoto still did not respond.
"Wow, it seems Akimoto-san doesn't like playing this game," the doll Akemi said as she floated forward.
"Then let Akimoto die!" the doll Hanako said, her eyes turning blood red again, and two blood-red laser beams appeared.
The next moment, death will befall Akimoto Ichika.
...
"I'll play the game."
Li Ling's voice rang out, and he slowly stood up with his eyes still closed.
"Oh?" The four puppets turned to look at Li Ling, who had his eyes closed. The puppet Shota said, "Sensei Saito Ryoichi wants to play a game first, okay?"
"Sure!" The doll Hanako's blood-red eyes returned to normal, and she said with a grin, "We really like people who actively participate in the game."
"Saito-sensei is very sensible!"
"What is this guy thinking? It's hilarious, he's such an idiot!"
