Don’t Play Games at Evil Spirit High-Chapter 47 : Survival

Chapter 47: Survival
In that instant, all the blood in the girl’s body seemed to freeze.
The warmth was instantly sucked away, leaving only a chilling coldness.
The next moment, the Evil Spirit lunged at Yu Mo.
Its eight arms flailed rapidly, like a giant spider, approaching the girl at an unbelievable speed.
Yu Mo didn’t even have time to scream before the Evil Spirit was already upon her.
At that moment, Death’s breath seemed to linger by her ear.
Suddenly, a strong hand forcefully grabbed Yu Mo and yanked her behind.
Because of Lu Feng’s movement, the one closest to the Evil Spirit was no longer Yu Mo but Lu Feng, and the Evil Spirit’s target also shifted to him.
At this moment, standing in front of Yu Mo, Lu Feng’s entire body trembled.
Sweat instantly poured out, soaking his clothes.
The tragic death scenes of Su Qi and Yin Jia kept flashing before his eyes, while his short eighteen-year life replayed in his mind like a lantern slide.
Could it be… was he really going to die here…?
Everything before his eyes seemed to slow down.
The rapid thoughts in his mind forcefully stretched the flow of time.
No, I don’t want to die!
But the way out… where was the way out…?
The answer to that question had actually always been right in front of him—
The game rules.
The first hint in the game rules:
「Certain special items can delay the Evil Spirit’s attack」
Special items…
…didn’t he already have two of those special items in his hands?!
Mary Shaw’s diary and Mary Jane’s diary were at this moment lying inside the inner pocket of Lu Feng’s coat.
In fact, when Liuli had specially mentioned these two diaries before, Lu Feng had already felt some suspicion—
Were these two diaries the “special items” hinted at?
But that had only been speculation.
Lu Feng had never thought of really trying it.
Yet, man proposes but Heaven disposes.
Who could have thought that at this very moment, whether he wanted to or not… he had no choice but to risk his life and try!
As the Evil Spirit was about to strike, Lu Feng pulled out the two diaries from his pocket with the fastest speed, raised them high in his hands, and finally closed his eyes, leaving it all to fate—
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
A long time passed, yet the attack never came.
In his ears, there was only the thunderous pounding of his heart and the heavy sound of his breath.
Lu Feng held his breath and cautiously opened his eyes—
Only to see the Evil Spirit’s sharp claws frozen less than an inch away from his eyes.
The Evil Spirit’s attack had stopped.
Its body stood still like a statue, those pupil-less eyes staring directly at the two diaries in Lu Feng’s hands.
In that moment, Lu Feng knew—he had bet correctly.
「Certain special items can delay the Evil Spirit’s attack」
This seemingly friendly hint was in fact perilous to the extreme—
A single mistake, and death came instantly!
Adrenaline surged wildly through his body.
Sweat ran down his forehead.
Lu Feng locked his gaze on the Evil Spirit before him, not daring to look away for even a second.
And after standing still for a long time, the Evil Spirit finally moved.
Its ferocious face gradually calmed.
Its pale, withered body slowly retreated, accompanied by the eerie creaking of twisting bones, and vanished into the darkness.
At the moment the Evil Spirit disappeared, Lu Feng could no longer hold on.
He collapsed to the floor, panting heavily.
Cold sweat dripped continuously onto the ground, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Yet as warmth slowly returned to his blood, he felt the relief of having survived.
Zhang Tong, pale-faced and dumbfounded, stared at the scene, while behind him, Liuli let out a heavy sigh and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead—
Fortunately, he understood…
However, they weren’t the only ones who had witnessed everything.
A pair of eyes hidden in the darkness had also clearly seen the entire scene, and the corners of their lips curled into a malicious smile—
Good.
He had already used that thing.
Feeling relieved, he silently slipped away.
The biggest variable was now gone.
No matter how clever you are, Lu Feng, this game is one you are doomed to lose.
…
When Lu Feng and the others returned to the room, they were still shaken.
“The Evil Spirit has left. It shouldn’t… attack again for now, right?”
Lu Feng nodded, but then thought of something and quickly shook his head,
“Not sure… the hint didn’t specify the duration. To be safe, we should assume the Evil Spirit has only temporarily retreated…”
Lu Feng had already fully experienced just how dangerous these rules were.
Aside from their vagueness, there were also many seemingly useless “nonsense” statements—
For example, the hint said “delay the Evil Spirit’s attack.” But exactly how long was “delay”?
Did it mean it wouldn’t kill them this time, or that it would return in a few hours, or even minutes?
It was all unknown.
“But at least this time… we survived.”
Lu Feng felt a lingering relief after a narrow escape and smiled bitterly as he spoke.
At that moment, Yu Mo tightly grabbed Lu Feng’s hand, bit her lip, her eyes slightly red as she looked at him,
“Thank you, Xiao Feng…”
If Lu Feng hadn’t risked his life to shield her just now, the Evil Spirit would probably have killed the girl on the spot.
He had saved me again…
She had promised to protect him, but in reality, she was the one being protected.
Lu Feng shook his head, lifted his hand, and ruffled the girl’s soft hair,
“Idiot, what nonsense are you thinking again? Don’t forget, I was blessed in disguise and got four days of absolute safety.”
He forced a smile as he spoke.
The third hint in the game rules:
The Evil Spirit would not attack the same player twice in a row.
That meant until the next attack after the next one, Lu Feng would not be targeted again.
During this period, he could do anything without worry.
However, at the instant she saw their intimate interaction, Liuli’s expression changed slightly.
“Lu Feng, I need to talk to you.”
Liuli suddenly spoke, then stood up and walked toward the door without looking back.
Watching her back, Lu Feng’s expression darkened, but he still let go of Yu Mo’s hand and followed Liuli out of the room.
They walked to a secluded corner before Liuli finally stopped and turned to look at Lu Feng,
“Those two diaries… do you still have them?”
Lu Feng nodded and pulled out the two diaries that had just saved his life.
But in the next moment, the diaries in his hands began to crumble into black ash and scatter onto the ground.
Lu Feng’s face showed astonishment.
His gaze toward Liuli grew increasingly suspicious,
“Liuli… who exactly are you?”
Liuli did not answer his question.
She lowered her head slightly, stepped closer to Lu Feng, and softly said,
“Don’t trust your first instincts.”
“…What do you mean?”
Lu Feng looked at her in confusion, completely unable to understand her words.
But after saying this, Liuli said nothing more.
She simply turned around and silently walked away without looking back.
Lu Feng stared at the girl’s departing figure, his eyes filled with a trace of gloom.
