Chapter 1000...

  Bai Gui, who was eating with his head down, raised his head and asked, "What are you guys whispering about again? It's really not satisfying. If there's something to say, just say it directly. Little Yinzi, did you discover some secret again?" As for Bai Gui's way of addressing him, Yin Kuang was helpless and simply went along with it. He heard him say, "You should have received the principal's prompt earlier, right?" Bai Gui said, "Yes, every survivor can receive it. Of course, I also received it." Yin Kuang nodded and looked at Li Shuangmu. Li Shuangmu savored a sip of wine, then elegantly cut into his steak and said, "You say it instead."

  Yin Kuang then called everyone over, looked around at the crowd and said: "I think you've all received the principal's hint? I just thought about it some more and extracted some information from inside. Maybe it can help us get through this unified exam. However, the premise is that we must unite without any gaps. It's absolute unity!"

  Everyone looked at me, and I looked at them. Then Tang Rou spoke up and said, "Isn't our unity enough now?" Yin Kuang shook his head and said, "It's not enough, far from it. I ask you all, if one of us falls into the Death God's calculations, are you willing to risk everything to save him?"

  “……”

  Everyone was silent. Even after the five sisters of Tang Rouyu exchanged a glance, they chose to remain silent. Tang Rouyu asked, "What does this have to do with us passing this exam?" Yin Kuang said, "Of course it has something to do with it. And it's a big deal. Take out the principal's hint from earlier... Did you discover anything? Think carefully about the two hints." Yin Kuang paused, and seeing that Tang Rouyu, Ouyang Mu, and Zeng Fei's expressions hadn't changed, he continued, "I think you've also realized it. So, since we're all 'people destined to die', if we were designed by the god of death, then someone must have saved us. Then as 'people who were saved', can't we also get a 24-hour safety period?"

  Tang Rouyu let out a deep breath and said, "It's actually... going to be like this? Yin Kuang was right! This must be the principal's deliberate arrangement. The principal is using this method to force us to unite absolutely together! What a clever principal, what a great tactic!" Qi Xiaoyun asked, "Big sister, what are you guys talking about?" Tang Rouyu explained, "Let me put it this way. If you, Xiaoyun, were targeted by the Grim Reaper but I saved you, then within 24 hours, you won't be targeted again. However, as the one who saved you, if I'm also targeted and someone saves me, I can also get a 24-hour safety period. And so on... once someone is in danger, someone else will risk everything to rescue them, and it'll keep going like this. Almost everyone will get a 24-hour safety period! Calculating it out, it's actually not that hard to survive this exam! But..."

  Li Shuang said, "But the problem is, this is almost impossible!" His face showed some sarcasm and helplessness, saying: "Who really wants to sacrifice themselves to save others? Are you willing? Are you willing? Okay, even if you are willing, there will always be someone who is afraid of death and doesn't want to go save others. In that case, the chain of rescue and being rescued will be broken, and it may even lead to internal conflicts within the team, ultimately leading to mutual slaughter. Because saving people must be voluntary. So, after 24 hours, we will face the design of the Grim Reaper again, at that time, who will come to save?"

  "So...” Yoon Hyung took a big bite of the apple and chewed as he spoke, “Only with absolute unity, without any gaps, all class members trusting each other unconditionally, helping one another, can we minimize the threat of death! If I'm not mistaken, after being rescued for the second time, there will be a 4-hour safety period. The third time, it might be 96 hours. By then, our exam time will almost be over. I think that's also why they only gave out three precise rewards for rescue. So, what does everyone think?”

  Ling Frost took out her watch, calculated the time, and said: "There are 108 hours left until the end of the exam. In other words, if we can achieve unconditional trust and mutual help, we must save each other at least twice! Then, we can safely pass this exam. So, what do you think?"

  What ideas can there be? Ten people, apart from looking at each other and muttering to themselves about who will save them in times of danger, and whether they will lend a helping hand when others are in danger. No one knows. People's hearts are separated by their bellies, human nature is selfish, and they avoid harm. If someone saves you, you may be grateful, but if you have to risk your life to save others, would you be willing? Who knows? Even you yourself don't know.

  Yin Kuang glanced at everyone and said, "I think this is why that Flame Queen counselor and a few others kept emphasizing the importance of unity. This kind of exam doesn't even allow for personal feelings. To survive, the only way is to save others and then be saved by them. But what about us? From the start, we were shouting about unity, unity. But later on? It's really laughable. Even if we pass this unified exam, what about those who died? Tang Zhao Tian and Liu Xia Tian must have hatred towards us in their hearts. And others, influenced by them, will definitely become our enemies! What can we do then? Hmph! Transfer classes? I'm afraid other classes are probably the same. Although I'm saying something far-fetched, we'll eventually face it."

  Li Shuangmu put down the knife and fork on the table, saying: "You're indeed pulling it a bit far. But what you said is also right. We will eventually have to face these problems. However, before that... I still hope that everyone present will think carefully about this. Let's have an open and honest discussion. Since the principal has already given us a glimmer of hope, no fool would go looking for death. So, can you all achieve absolute unity? Here, I'll take a stance first. I can! Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Because Li Shuangmu has never done anything harmful to himself. Also, if anyone cannot do so, they must be unconditionally expelled from the team. We can't let one person harm the entire team. Of course, if anyone's words and actions don't match, I will personally kill them. And I will make sure they can no longer stay in class 1204!"

  Li Fengmu, you've really gotten serious. As he spoke, the other nine people's hearts skipped a beat, and their gazes at Li Fengmu changed. They sensed a strong aura of danger emanating from him. At the same time, an intense energy radiated from Li Fengmu, making it hard for everyone to breathe. The few who had exchanged for enhancements were slightly better off, with firmer resolve. However, the female students looked down deeply, not daring to look directly at Li Fengmu.

  At this moment, Li Shuangmu became even more mysterious. However, who understood that at this time, Li Shuangmu was also extremely distressed? If he could, he would not bother to care about these trivial matters. He only cared about how to enhance his own strength. But at this moment, he had no choice but to stand up and use strong measures to bind everyone together! Because this also related to his own interests.

  Yin Kuang thought to himself, "Lei Shuangmu has indeed stood up. Good, just like that..." Then he said, "I agree with Lei Shuangmu's view and support him." Thus, Lei Shuangmu and Yin Kuang formed a group. Bai Jue chuckled and glanced at Lei Shuangmu, but his heart was gloomy as he said, "Who wants to die when they can live? I'll join too." Zeng Fei looked at Lei Shuangmu and thought to himself, "Maybe it's not bad to have someone lead everyone..." Then he said, "Count me in."

  Qian Qian, who was sitting next to Li Fengmu, shook her lower lip and said, "And...and me." Tang Rouyu looked at Li Fengmu with a smile and said, "To be able to fight side by side with the young master of the Li family, I, Tang Rouyu, feel extremely honored. Young Master Li, you are indeed famous for a reason." Her words were somewhat flattering, somewhat playful, but also had a hint of admiration. At this moment, probably only someone like Li Fengmu had the qualifications to stand up and speak, and only he could make people believe!

  Then, Tang Rou spoke to Ouyang Mu, Qi Xiao Yun and others: "This is after all a matter of life and death. So I, as your elder sister, cannot make the choice for you. You can only decide for yourselves. However, alas, I must declare that those who stay behind must be prepared to pay the price, otherwise...I won't be able to protect you either. You, think carefully about it." Ouyang Mu immediately spoke in a melancholy tone: "Elder sister, look at me now...I'd better leave. I can't save others, nor do I need others to save me, lest I become a burden to everyone later on."

  "Kokoro..."

  Bai Lian rolled his eyes, glanced at Li Shuangmu and muttered, "It's just a missing hand, what's the big deal? You're also strengthened by the Dark Night Spirit bloodline, are you that useless?" Ouyang Mu's face turned red with anger, "You... fine! I'll stay. Surname Bai, don't come crying to me for help later. Hmph!"

  Qī Xiǎoyún and the other two girls exchanged a glance, then looked at Lí Shuāngmù again, their eyes filled with intense fear and panic. Should they follow him? But they didn't want to risk their lives to save someone, only to be killed by Lí Shuāngmù in the end! If they left them behind, without anyone else's help, they would still be dead... Whether they went forward or backward, it was all death. What choice did they have?

  The three girls were anxious and almost in tears.
