My Deceased Childhood Friend is the Horror Game Boss - Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Every Player fell silent at the same time.

A glamorous girl, clearly a high-end Player, rolled her eyes. “Newbies again. So annoying.”

The guy next to her, a Blondie chewing gum, spoke with nonchalance. “The more newbies there are, the more fun it is. Killing them is such a rush.”

In a place invisible to the Players, a high-dimensional livestream began.

Dense clusters of livestream screens crowded together.

In some rooms, a thick fog drifted, revealing distorted figures darting through the gloom. In others, blood splattered everywhere as severed limbs littered the ground. In yet others, blood-curdling screams echoed out.

Among the countless screens, the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the Death High School dungeon was particularly eye-catching.

[Holy crap, this dungeon is open again?]

[Rubbing my hands in excitement! I thought I’d never see this instance again in my afterlife!]

[What do you mean? This just looks like a run-of-the-mill school instance. Not exciting at all.]

[Haven’t you heard? This is an unsolvable dungeon. The survival rate is 0%. No one has ever cleared it! That’s why the Infinite Game shut it down.]

[Damn, I remember now. Is this the one where the final Boss is a total psycho?]

[Exactly. The main quest requires Players to survive for 36 hours, but you have to realize, this school is-]

The livestream’s popularity skyrocketed, and that specific comment was quickly buried under thousands of others.

On the playground, the Players were assigned to different classes.

I was placed in the same class as the two high-end Players who had just spoken, along with two other newbies.

Zhu Jiao, the glamorous high-end Player, said with a giggle, “My name is Zhu Jiao. We’re classmates now. I look forward to working with you.”

Blondie curled his lips, his gaze landing on me. It felt slimy and disgusting, like a toad you couldn’t shake off. “What luck. We even got a real beauty.”

[Ooh, those two high-end Players are known as ‘Newbie Killers.’ Who’s the poor soul stuck in a class with them?]

[Tsk tsk, this girl is gorgeous. Too bad she won’t last long.]

[Let’s place bets on how she dies.]

[My guess: Zhu Jiao throws her to the Boss to be tortured to death.]

[My guess: Blondie rapes her, kills her, and then throws her to the Boss to be tortured.]

My heart sank. I could almost hear it pounding violently against my ribs. My palms were damp, and I struggled to maintain a facade of composure.

I had something more important to confirm.

We left the playground and entered the teaching building.

Class 1, Grade 12.

I stared blankly at the familiar classroom.

With a heavy thud, it felt as if a stone had been dropped into the lake of my heart; everything clicked into place.

The most secret, most painful memories hidden deep within me came flooding back.

This mysterious school appearing in the Infinite Game, possessed of supernatural power…

It was exactly the same as my old high school.

It was the high school I had attended with my childhood friend-the one who had once died for me.
