This guy is definitely insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghost can kill everyone in this classroom without a sound—we’re barely trying to hide, and he wants us to go hunt it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people internally mocked the boy’s madness, while a few frowned in deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This boy seems able to ignore the Death Rule—what if he really can catch the ghost?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet as they wrestled with doubt—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wang couldn’t ignore the Death Rule at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His erratic behavior in the dark was merely to confirm one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether his bizarre 【Immortality】 trait worked within the Fuben .\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bad news?

I won’t let you go even in death! You fucking… I’ll….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vulgar insults passed through Wu Wang’s left ear and out his right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He plopped onto the floor, squinting at the spot where the woman had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No… she wasn’t killed by the ghost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wang’s mind rapidly processed the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a unique being who tested ghosts firsthand—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew exactly how death by ghost felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sudden vanishing was clearly wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The key question: why did I vanish too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The murderers in the classroom remained stunned, too terrified to make a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one noticed Wu Wang glancing at his own pant leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His legs were gone too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he sat down—so no one would notice his anomaly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, he wasn’t some cross-dresser who liked wearing short skirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he’d have been exposed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the vanishing continued upward; within seconds, Wu Wang felt nothing below his navel—including Xiao Wuwang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, too late to mourn his lost member, Wu Wang suddenly lunged forward and fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right before everyone’s eyes, he rolled off the podium and crashed into the pitch-black darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—absolute stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now no one dared move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That crazy guy… dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought echoed in everyone’s minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those near the podium didn’t dare check if Wu Wang was alive or dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, better him than me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deathly silence lasted three full minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the chilling sound finally came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thump!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spotlight blazed on; the classroom flooded with light again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this darkness was far better than before—only two dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, they’d soon find all the Death Rules, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Wu Wang’s “catch the ghost” idea—no one dared even think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s going… to check on him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after daylight returned did someone finally suggest checking Wu Wang’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before anyone could respond—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even zoos charge admission. Seeing my corpse? Ten yuan each is fair. First come, first served. Men, no touching private parts. Women, feel free.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the corpse everyone believed dead stretched lazily and slowly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck! This guy faked being dead to scare us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others couldn’t help but flinch, squeezing their fists tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But given this guy’s previous behavior,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>now just lying on the ground pretending to be dead to scare them—they’d almost grown used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Habit is a terrifying thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wang stretched his neck, then casually brushed the dust off his body as if no one else were there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Undying】!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under cover of darkness, he had lain motionless on the ground and been erased once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one noticed his death and return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew what crucial insight Wu Wang had gained from that death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He merely smiled faintly, as if the earlier humiliation had never happened, and walked back onto the stage to say: “Ladies and gentlemen, you’re truly lucky to have met me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the murderers below all simultaneously thought of a giant question mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting you is the greatest misfortune!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wang merely smiled without answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were indeed lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had already discovered what made ghost-hunting most difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty wasn’t in identifying who or what the ghost was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was during the moment of accusation with the microphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the 【Ghost】 and the 【Accuser】 would be erased!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one of the death rules—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The Ghost Hunter Dies on the Stage】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, to truly catch the ghost, someone had to be willing to sacrifice themselves to make the accusation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet absurdly, the only people in this classroom were murderers who saw human life as worthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them would willingly sacrifice themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except Wu Wang—the monster with more than one life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, have you really considered giving me your money?
