Chapter 1000...

  "Brother Tian... what should we do? This is the movie "Death God Arrives". I feel like everything around us can take my life now."

  "Right, Tian Ge. You're the strongest one here. Now that you've become Spider Hero, take charge and give orders. Everyone will listen to you."

  "It's just like that. Whatever Brother Tian says, we'll do it."

  A group of "Chinese international students" huddled together across the street from the police station in a small American town, speaking in low tones.

  The warm sunlight was just right on them. These more than a dozen small groups, surrounded by circles, seemed to be completely isolated from this bustling but shrouded American town, and did not care about the people and vehicles passing by.

  These people were the students of Class 1204.

  Li Fengyu and a group of people went to the hospital to find Yin Kuang after finishing their notes, while half of them stayed behind. These people, both men and women, all looked up to Tang Zhao Tian. No other reason, just because Tang Zhao Tian was one of the few people in the class who had exchanged bloodlines. Others such as Tang Rouyu, Li Fengyu, Wang Ning, etc., all left. As for them, their classmates chose to avoid them. The reason may be Yin Kuang, or it may be Li Fengyu and Tang Rouyu's small group was too powerful, they didn't dare to follow up. Naturally, staying by Tang Zhao Tian's side became their best choice.

  Class 1204 was thus divided.

  These young men and women are not stupid. They all saw that Tang Zhao Tian wanted to be the leader of the class - the class monitor! Naturally, if Tang Zhao Tian wants to be the class monitor, he needs everyone's support. But why should they support him? It's simple: Tang Zhao Tian must do something good for everyone. And now is their best chance - give Tang Zhao Tian a chance to show his kindness! Anyway, they just want to survive, whether or not they become the class monitor doesn't matter to most people. As for Tang Zhao Tian, he has the ability and ambition, as long as he's willing to protect everyone, it's a cheap bodyguard, why not?

  As for Tang Zhao Tian, he seems to be enjoying the attention of the crowd. He counted them, including himself, there were fifteen people here, which means that as long as he could save these people, when it's time to elect a class leader, they would definitely vote for him, and then he could steadily sit on the throne of the class leader!

  The more Tang Zhao Tian thought about it, the more pleased he became. He rubbed his nose and chuckled: "Actually, I've already thought of a method. It's just a matter of whether you guys dare to do it. As long as you're willing to follow my plan, I guarantee that the Death God won't bother us. Then we can go rescue those plot characters with peace of mind. 'Death God Came 5' was released not too long ago, so I think everyone still remembers the plot. So, as long as we save them at the critical moment, it'll be fine. This task isn't that difficult, actually. With this approach, it's easy for us to get the title of 'Special Class'. Sigh... but what's the point of being in the Special Class, anyway?"

  Tang Zhao Tian didn't notice at all, as if he had gone a bit too far.

  But everyone's eyes lit up. A soft voice said, "Tian Ge, quickly tell us, what method is it?" The girl was the one who had been teased and humiliated by the otaku for showing off her charm back then.

  Tang Zhao Tian swept a glance over the crowd, and under their expectant gazes, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. He thought to himself: "Having skills is indeed good. They all have to rely on me to survive. It seems that I must take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit, and then go back to exchange for an even stronger bloodline and abilities! At that time, let's see who still dares to look down on me, who still dares to humiliate me - Hmph! And those teaching assistants, those dogshit seniors, actually wanting me to bow my head to them, just wait and see!"

  Everyone saw him laugh without saying a word, and again it was "Tian Ge" and "Tang Shao" urging him on.

  Tang Zhao Tian intentionally sold a suspenseful tone, asking: "Do you still remember a sentence from the original plot? A sentence said by that black undertaker extra."

  Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, one of the boys said: "I know, 'Death God, don't like to be deceived'."

  Tang Zhao Tian's face fell, and he said: "I don't know what you're talking about. Stop mentioning the God of Death all the time. Are you eager for him to come find you or something?"

  He shrunk his neck and muttered, "I... I didn't mean it that way." But in his heart, he grumbled discontentedly, "Weren't you the one who asked us? Hmph, thinking you're some famous detective, playing at reasoning... Sigh, but no one can beat him here..."

  "I know." A short and chubby boy said: "When the protagonist met the black uncle for the second time, the black uncle said 'You owe Death, Death must go find someone else's life to make up for it. You took away other people's lifespan, and the life they were supposed to enjoy. They died in your place. That way, the Book of Death is balanced.' That's right, that sentence."

  Tang Zhao Tian glanced at the short and chubby boy, thinking to himself: "Who told you to speak up? Dammit, I was supposed to say that... Sigh, never mind." The dissatisfaction in Tang Zhao Tian's eyes flashed by, then he smiled and said: "That's right. That's what it means. Based on this sentence, I think the black mortician was hinting at a way for us to escape the Grim Reaper's design. Now, we're actually just like those doomed characters in the plot, already on the Grim Reaper's 'death list'. So, the way to get rid of the Grim Reaper is... to kill others and let them die in our place. That way, the debt we owe the Grim Reaper will be repaid. The Grim Reaper won't have any reason to come bother us again!"

  "What?!"

  Everyone was shocked and turned pale, "Kill... kill others?"

  Although they did go through a "entrance exam", and gained some growth, the moral values formed over more than ten years are not so easy to change - of course, except for certain people. For example, Wang Ning, Li Shuangmu, and Tang Zhaotian. Of course, there is also Yin Kuang - when necessary, he can absolutely do things that benefit himself but harm others.

  But such people are after all in the minority, so when they heard Tang Zhao Tian say he wanted to kill someone, they couldn't help but feel a little timid.

  "What? You don't dare?" Tang Zhao Tian looked at the crowd with a cold gaze, "Hmph, suit yourselves! Either you kill others, take their lives to repay the God of Death, and live on; or your Holy Mother's soul burns, willing to die for others. Unfortunately, I, Tang, really have nothing to say. The choice is yours." After finishing speaking, Tang Zhao Tian crossed his arms, looking at the crowd with a playful expression. His eyes seemed like those of a wise man looking at a group of foolish fools.

  "Kill? Repay a debt?"

  ……

  "Murder? Repayment? Ridiculous!"

  In the ward, Yin Kuang burst out laughing and said: "If killing others can easily escape the design of the death god, then this 'Death God Came' is not a horror suspense but a crime cop film."

  The previous "death design" was not that simple, it didn't even count as a "death design", it was just the Grim Reaper's "gift of meeting". Therefore, it was only surprising but not dangerous - Tang Rouyu, who had strengthened her wind-based abilities, casually waved her hand and blew the Marlboro cigarette out of the window. Wei Ming, who was closest to the oxygen tank, also hastily closed the valve. The crisis immediately disappeared without a trace.

  Then, the windows were closed tightly, the doors were opened wide, and the water stains on the ground were wiped away. After that, everyone began to discuss how to get through this thrilling unified exam scene!

  It naturally came up that the black uncle in the original story said, "Use someone else's life to repay the debt to the god of death." In simple terms, it means "kill people and repay debts!"

  When Wei Ming said that, Yin Kuang couldn't help but burst out laughing, making Wei Ming extremely embarrassed. "I was just joking, if I really had to go kill someone, I wouldn't be able to do it."

  Li Fengxue habitually took out a cigarette case, but was stopped by an angry gaze. "Sorry," he said, putting away the case. "What Yin Kuang said is right. The design of the Death God is not just about killing people to repay debts and easily escape. But I'm curious, if killing can't avoid the Death God, why did that black mortician tell the main characters? Is it misleading or hinting at something? In the 'Death God Came' series, this black uncle's identity has always been a mystery. I don't know if he will be a breakthrough."

  "You guys said, could this person be the Death God? Or maybe the spokesperson for the Death God, or a follower of the Death God's teachings?" Bai Jue suddenly said.

  "You've been reading too much Baidu Tieba." Yin Kuang glared at him with a bad temper and said, "In my opinion, that black person is definitely not the Grim Reaper..."

  Tang Rou asked: "Are you so sure? What if he really is the God of Death?"

  "Alright," Yin Kuang said, "Suppose he is the God of Death, what can you do? Kill him? Don't be ridiculous, it's not that easy to kill a god. Or go beg for mercy? Don't be absurd, if the God of Death had a compassionate heart, he wouldn't be the God of Death. The answer is, neither option is realistic."

  Everyone was speechless.

  Indeed, what Yin Kuang said makes a lot of sense.

  "But," said Yin Kuang, "this black uncle may not be the god of death, but he must have a deep connection with the god of death! His warning seems to be a fog, but I think it's a kind hint. However, he can't say it clearly. For example, 'new life can break the god of death's plan', do you think this so-called 'new life' just means giving birth to a child? And 'killing others to repay the god of death', actually, thinking carefully, it also has some feasibility..."

  "But you just said......?" Wei Ming asked with wide eyes.

  Yin Kuang said, "I only said it's ridiculous, but I didn't say it's absolutely impossible. According to the old black man's words, killing someone can repay the god of death. But the question is, who exactly does this 'someone' refer to? Open your attributes and take a look at the 'Lifespan' column. Perhaps, you should understand now."

  "Lifespan?"

  "What?! My lifespan is actually 0?!" Tang Rou exclaimed in shock.

  "My is also 0!"

  "I'm also 0! What's going on?"

  Everyone in the scene has a lifespan of 0!

  "Because... our lifespan no longer belongs to us, but neither does it belong to the god of death, because we are still alive..." Li Shuangmu seemed to have realized something and said: "No wonder! No wonder this time's death didn't deduct from our lifespan. It's simply that there was no lifespan to deduct from. So... what they call 'killing to repay a debt' is actually..."

  "Kill someone who has the same lifespan as us!" Yin Kuang said: "It's the same lifespan! Can't be more, can't be less. Just like I owe Wei Ming 100 yuan, I pay back 90 yuan, is that okay? What if I pay back 200 yuan, is that okay?"

  "It's not like I should get that money anyway. What I want is just the 100 you owe me."

  "So... that's the answer." Yin Kuang said: "The old black man means for us to go and kill people with the same lifespan as us, to repay the debt owed to the god of death. In fact, this is also contradictory. Is the old black man saving or killing people by doing so? Moreover, in such a vast world, how long will it take to find someone with the same lifespan as you? This is almost impossible! Don't forget, no matter where, taking a life is against the law. Once we kill, our enemy won't just be the god of death. And before killing someone with the same lifespan as us, can we even survive the god of death's design?"

  "So, killing people to pay off debts is feasible, but ridiculous!" Yun Kuang concluded.

  "What should we do then?" Bai Gui asked a question he had been asking from the start.

  Yin sighed and said, "The rules set by the gods, what can ordinary people do? Should we obediently accept our fate or resolutely resist? To be honest, I... don't know."
