Chapter 529: Fatal Flaw

Liu Shuli, a female employee of the resort island, was standing at the starting line at this moment.

Her legs had already been bound with ropes by a ghost, which made her feel somewhat nervous, so she moved her feet restlessly.

Because of Wu Xian's influence.

The new Lotus Juanren were all ranking at the top in the running event, and most of them had passed the first batch of obstacle runs; only Liu Shuli was arranged in the second batch because she ran slightly slower.

She whispered to comfort herself.

"It's okay, they all passed, I can do it too, I'm not worse than them... at least not worse than those college students."

She had been working at the resort island for four years.

When she first chose this job, she only thought that since it originally cost money to come here and play, working here would allow her to have fun to her heart's content.

But in the real world, when some people encounter a slight fright while driving, their brains short-circuit, and they desperately step on the gas pedal when they should be hitting the brakes, let alone facing the pressure of malevolent entities.

"Save me, save..." Liu Shuli didn't finish her sentence before a pair of bruised hands reached into her mouth, pressing against her upper and lower gums, and tore her chin off with force...

But because she was too excited, she was tripped by the door frame and fell onto the lawn.

But the novelty only lasted for a few months.

Fortunately, Guo Xiaodong was still gentle when facing "students." Even if some people exceeded two minutes, as long as they still had a red stripe on their bodies, they would at most be bitten twice by malevolent entities. Although they would be covered in blood and flesh, it wouldn't reach the point of damaging their bones, and they could still run to the other side despite their wounds...

Some people calculated the answer but couldn't find the correct key among the mere ten keys.

Others couldn't insert the key into the lock quickly because their hands were shaking...

Thus, this theoretically simplest event became the one with the most screams in physical education class.

"This event is just a simple game of tag. Next, eleven teaching assistants will attempt to catch you. You only need to avoid their capture before class ends without violating the physical education rules. During this period, I will not interfere with anything that happens on the playground."

"That man surnamed Wu said that after becoming a Lotus Juanren, I can get a minimum living allowance every month, so I can safely resign..."

They rushed toward the students. The indigenous students fled in all directions. These malevolent entities couldn't run fast, but they had ghosts riding on their shoulders, so they couldn't run fast either; therefore, most people didn't dare to be careless.

Guo Xiaodong's previous performance gave people an illusion, making them think the physical education teacher was on the side of humanity.

By the time the second event ended, only about ninety people remained on the playground, and half of those ninety were stained with blood.

Eleven malevolent entities, like beasts that had been hungry for a long time.

She heard the sound of chains behind her.

Liu Shuli found herself becoming numb and lazy, like a robot. Despite having never enjoyed anything, she hadn't saved a single penny.

This meant the third event had already begun!

Liu Shuli immediately bent down to untie the rope, but she soon discovered that because she had just been moving her legs, the knot had become tighter than it was initially.

"There is half an hour left until class ends."

Some people couldn't even untie the knot on their legs.

"52? No, is it 53, or 63?"

The day she boarded the passenger ship, her resignation letter was tucked in her pocket.

After speaking.

A cold voice came from behind: "Resting on the lawn, deduct one red stripe."

The person in the adjacent lane opened the iron door and ran toward the next door.

She was torn into pieces in front of everyone.

Because Liu Shuli ran the slowest, she was targeted by several malevolent entities, who scrambled to grab her body.

The subsequent performance of the indigenous people could only be described as unbearable to watch.

She stomped her feet hard, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, her lips trembling with anxiety. But the more anxious she became, the less her brain worked, and she couldn't mentally calculate the answer to this simple math problem.

Liu Shuli was dead.

"25+37=?"

"We will now proceed to the third training event."

Then.

*Toot~* Guo Xiaodong blew his whistle. Wu Xian shook his head and sighed.

*Creak... *

This was both sadness for the death of a friend and unease about his own future fate. It was only the second day, and among the three employees of the resort island, only she remained.

Guo Xiaodong opened the fence and let the malevolent entity that had just left a psychological shadow on everyone into the playground. Each malevolent entity had a shackle with an iron ball on its foot, which prevented them from running at full speed.

At the same time.

Guo Xiaodong let go, and the eleven malevolent entities rushed over.

"Calm down, you must calm down!"

The students who saw this scene all fell silent.

*Thump-thump, thump-thump... *

Ji Yaning, who worked with her at the resort island, shouted anxiously.

After doing all this, Guo Xiaodong turned his back to the playground and stood with his hands behind his back.

Over the years.

But now it seemed that Guo Xiaodong was only on the side of the students.

Leisurely on weekdays, busy on holidays, the crowded masses, the noisy environment—sometimes he would exhaust all his efforts and say all the nice words to deal with a troublesome tourist, only to find himself complained about the next day...

But even if she survived here, Liu Shuli would sooner or later die somewhere else. Not knowing what to do when scared is a fatal flaw for a Lotus Juanren.

Throughout the process, Guo Xiaodong's expression was very cold, just watching the malevolent entities divide Liu Shuli into several pieces, scrambling for her body and dancing wildly.

She dug her nails in until it hurt, finally untied the rope, and ran toward the first door.

But the second event was still ongoing.

Guo Xiaodong nodded with satisfaction.

Then.

She wanted to resign several times, but was afraid she wouldn't be able to find another job.

This sentence "you must calm down" caused Liu Shuli, who was about to calm down, to completely collapse. She scratched her hair frantically, wanting to calculate in her mind, but all sorts of messy things surfaced.

She gave up on calculating and tried keys one by one. When she tried the third key, she finally opened the lock, which made her overjoyed, and she pushed the door open hard.

As long as she wasn't nervous, she could complete the event.

Guo Xiaodong clapped his hands, and rusty fences emerged from the edge of the grass, surrounding all the students within the fences.

Liu Shuli clenched her fists, cheering herself on. Her badge only had one red stripe left; she couldn't afford another mistake.

Ji Yaning covered her mouth and cried out.

Liu Shuli no longer had a red stripe on her badge, so she was no longer considered a student. Even if she were torn to pieces in front of Guo Xiaodong, he wouldn't be moved in the slightest.

This was just a small mistake, but it disrupted her rhythm. Sweat broke out on her forehead, her hands and feet went numb, and after reaching the door, she looked at the math problem on it, and her brain suddenly went blank.

Liu Shuli's world went quiet, and she could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

Guo Xiaodong loosened the chain slightly, and the eleven malevolent entities ran a distance forward.

She looked desperately in the direction of Wu Xian and the others, letting out a shrill cry for help.

The two-minute time limit had also arrived.

It sounded simple.

"No, I have to calm down, I have to..."

But two groups of people had different thoughts.

One group was the student council members, who finally found an opportunity to let go.

The other group.

Of course, it was the three Lotus Juanren!
