She has hundreds of thousands of supernatural powers, but she always says she is weak.

"We're all going to die!" The shout was sharp and shrill, carrying unspeakable fear.

Zuo Xiuyan woke up suddenly.

I found myself standing in the corner of a restaurant box.

She looked in the direction where the sound came from. In front of her were more than twenty unfamiliar young men and women standing in the open space of the room. One of them pointed outside the door tremblingly: "It's coming again..."

People turned around one after another, there was a commotion and screams, and they moved away from the door like a school of fish making an emergency U-turn, and rushed into the house.

Now that there was no obstruction in sight, Zuo Xiuyan quickly looked towards the door.

A "person" stood outside the open door.

To be precise, it is similar to a human being, but it has no gender, no facial features, and no clothes.

The body is like a mannequin in a store, all grey. At first glance, it looks like the game has not loaded the texture, a three-dimensional humanoid shadow.

It stood at the door, twisting its head a little to the right, making a clicking sound, like a ticking clock.

Suddenly, red countdown numbers appeared on its chest.

【00:15】

【00:14】

"It's happening again! I don't want to die!"

"Don't pick me! Don't pick me!"

People screamed and began to push each other, trying to get closer to the inside and use the people around them as shields.

Zuo Xiuyan didn't have time to think about it. She stood in the corner of the room and made a prompt decision to move outward in the opposite direction. At this time, all the pressure will flow to the innermost part, and the deeper you are, the more likely it is to get into trouble.

【00:10】

Suddenly someone rushed to the large round table in the middle of the room, lifted the tablecloth and crawled under the table.

Inspired by this, others also rushed over like crazy.

The person who got in was pulled out by the people behind, and the people inside pushed him out.

"Go away!"

"Ah! Stop pulling me!"

The dishes on the table also fell in the collision, the plates broke, and some people were scratched by the debris. The splashing juice and blood made this small space even more chaotic and messy.

【00:05】

It was obviously unwise to snatch the table from others at this time, so Zuo Xiuyan hid behind a chair.

Judging from the reactions of the people around, it can be inferred that everyone is trying their best to avoid being seen by the strange thing at the door.

Seeing this, some people followed suit and stopped squeezing around the table, instead shrinking behind their chairs.

【00:00】

Zuo Xiuyan was counting down silently in his mind, and just as he reached zero, he heard two "clicks" at the same time.

One voice was outside the door, and the other was inside the house.

After thinking for a moment, she leaned over to look.

The faceless gray man outside the door had his head drooping on his neck, as if it was completely broken.

At the same time, the people in the room stopped pushing and shoving, and instead looked around. Amid the shouting, everyone's eyes were focused on a boy.

He still maintained his squatting position behind the chair.

But he was facing backwards, with his head turned almost 180 degrees and drooping on his neck, exactly the same as the faceless gray man outside.

The difference is that there is an expression on his face that is difficult for ordinary people to make.

He had an exaggerated smile, his mouth stretched to the sides, stretching it to the extreme.

But his brows were furrowed and his eyes were wide open, as if he was feeling unbearable pain.

Zuo Xiuyan's breathing stopped for a moment, his back felt cold, and his heart was beating wildly as if it was about to be pulled out of his chest.

The person who was alive just now died in a strange way.

The next second, the corpse began to fade like light and shadow, and then gradually disappeared, and the faceless gray man outside the door also disappeared.

There was a moment of silence in the crowd, followed by suppressed crying and cursing.

"Wuwuwu, I don't want to die, I want to go home, I shouldn't have gone out today..."

"Why, why did this happen to me!"

"It's all Dumb's fault. She chose this place, otherwise why would we come here!"

As soon as this sentence was uttered, it seemed to give everyone a reminder, and people began to respond as if they had just woken up from a dream.

"That's right..."

"It's her! She's the one who harmed us!"

Zuo Xiuyan found that people were looking at him one after another, their eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Dumb? Me?

She frowned. She didn't know these people at all. She didn't even know where this place was.

Zuo Xiuyan was thinking about the cause and effect, but was suddenly shocked.

This body is not yours.

Countless memories that do not belong to me are churning in my mind.

Before she could sort things out, the noise of the crowd brought her back to her senses.

"If you hadn't booked this restaurant, would we have come here for dinner?"

"You killed them, it's all your fault!"

There were dirty words mixed in, which was unbearable to hear. Some strong boys even started to approach, rolled up their sleeves, clenched their fists, and wanted to fight.

Zuo Xiuyan's heart was filled with alarm.

The shock of death makes people emotionally broken and confused. They need an outlet, a scapegoat.

In this situation, when someone takes the lead, no matter whether the reasons are reasonable or not, no one will think deeply and will definitely follow blindly.

You might be beaten to death, so you have to nip it in the bud immediately.

"Stop!" she shouted immediately.

The people around were shocked and stopped cursing. No one expected that the mute could actually shout out.

Zuo Xiuyan quickly picked up the broken pieces of the dinner plate on the ground and pointed forward: "Who dares!"

The people in front suddenly stopped.

"Want to do it, right?" She deliberately picked up a large piece, the edges of which were particularly sharp and even had traces of blood on them.

She slowly scanned the eyes of the people in the front row, looking at them one by one, and pointed the tip of the porcelain shard at them to move: "Let's see whether that weird thing just now kills you first, or my porcelain shard cuts your neck first."

The people in the front row stepped back.

Affected by the people in the front row, the people behind had to retreat.

Zuo Xiuyan looked at the whole place, alert to everyone's movements, and said slowly in a gloomy tone: "If I get hurt, I'll desperately drag someone to accompany me, and you guys won't have an easy time either."

She took a step forward.

The crowd retreated in panic, no one wanted to be at the front.

Even if it didn't cut the neck, it would still leave a big cut on the body. Especially the woman opposite, she looked like she would kill anyone she caught.

Everyone wants to beat someone up, but who wants to get hurt or die? Whoever wants to be the lucky one can be the lucky one.

As the crowd pushed and shoved, a piece of space suddenly appeared in front of Zuo Xiuyan.

Seeing the anger that had gathered among the crowd was shattered into pieces in an instant.

She took this opportunity to speak: "Think about it carefully!"

She spoke very quickly, not giving anyone a chance to interrupt. She digitized the situations in her memory one by one.

"From the 12th to the 20th, traffic control will be implemented in the area! This means that our range of activities is limited to 5 kilometers outside the university at most."

"There are nine large and medium-sized restaurants in the area, but only two large restaurants that can accommodate all the students in the class for dinner. One is a high-end restaurant with a per capita cost of at least 9 yuan, while this restaurant costs about 2 yuan per person."

"In other words, because of the class's financial situation, even if someone else were to book the dinner location, the chances of booking this restaurant would be 100%!"

After saying this, everyone fell silent.

Whether it was because the series of actions after the mute opened his mouth were too shocking, or because his well-reasoned analysis was too sufficient, at least it was like a rope that tied up some of their rationality.

Some people hesitated and began to think seriously about the cause and effect of this matter.

"Nonsense!" Suddenly, a voice of blame rose from the crowd, "If we don't come here, it doesn't matter if there are monsters. We won't be the ones to die!"

"Huh?" Zuo Xiuyan narrowed his eyes. People were obviously starting to calm down, but someone was stirring up trouble again? Who said such nonsense?

She quickly searched her memory, trying to find someone who matched the voice.

"Yeah, if you don't come, then nothing will happen. Besides, how can it be 100%? How can you guarantee that there are no restaurants that you missed?"

Zuo Xiuyan was so angry at these remarks that his head started to ache.

Obviously, the people were killed by a strange monster that suddenly appeared, but they are blaming their own kind.

It is normal to have resentful emotions, but it is also normal to lack rational thinking, to blame others without basis, and to fail to understand priorities.

At such a tense moment, instead of thinking about how to get out of the predicament, you still have time to worry about these trivial details!

"Shut up."

Zuo Xiuyan stopped him coldly, then looked directly at the person who had initially fanned the flames.

She knew who that person was!

"Shen Zhi, you are really something. Are you afraid of taking responsibility, so you push yourself away completely?"

"What the hell are you talking about! What does it have to do with me!" a boy in the crowd shouted.

"Isn't this a celebration party you held for yourself? You forced everyone to attend, and you also booked this restaurant. And I was just called out by you to run errands and confirm things with the restaurant." Zuo Xiuyan said.

At this time, people's eyes began to wander to Shen Zhi and Zuo Xiuyan: "That's right, he was shouting before that whoever didn't come was not giving him face, we gave him all the deposit."

Shen Zhi's face looked even worse.

People gradually realized that this incident could not be blamed on Zuo Xiuyan, but no one dared to scold Shen Zhi.

To put it bluntly, everyone was concerned about Shen Zhi's identity.

Zuo Xiuyan sneered in his heart.

"Shen Zhi, you see I usually don't talk, I'm a loner with no friends, and I'm easy to bully. You make me do all kinds of chores and treat me like a servant. And I haven't forgotten what your lackeys did to me in the past."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of several lackeys around Shen Zhi changed and their momentum weakened.

The moment Zuo Xiuyan pointed it out, they also felt guilty. They actually knew that what they did was wrong, but no one had ever lifted the fig leaf.

"At this time, I don't have time to settle accounts with you, but don't mess with me."

"What we should do now..." Zuo Xiuyan said in a deep voice, "is to find a way to get rid of the monster! Find a way to escape from here!"

She looked at the crowd: "If anyone dares to waste everyone's time, then they are deliberately causing everyone's death."

"Who has any objection?"

The scene was silent and no one dared to say a word.
