章節 36: Death Game

Even though I expected that these types of things will not eventually be seen, what I don't understand is, why does Alice look so terrified?

If we look back during our first day, a person was killed in front of everyone. Later on, the numbers kept on decreasing and they even mentioned items that are not something that should be given to a high school student.

"Alice, sit down beside that tree." Since I have decided to make an alliance with Alice for the time being, I can't let her go to waste even before she could be of any help.

"..." she didn't even look at me.

So, I took her hand and forced her to sit down.

"And now... what should I do with all this?"

Inside the crate was a silencer, a few used-up bullets, and a gun that was broken from the front.

Again? Why do I know all these things? Just by glancing at it, I could make out the name of the gun even though I am not a bit interested in guns.

That's not important now, I need to move out of these things.

Why?

Because if someone sees these things here there would be two possibilities. First would be the same as Alice, a person would be stunned. The second is that even though these items shouldn't be seen by a high school student but now that we have been inside a death game and above all, in this situation, some nasty thoughts might arise like, using a gun for their survival and all. It would be bad if more people thought of it.

Vicious thought only rises when it is introduced to them or seen.

That's why I can't let these things lie around here.

I picked up the silence and threw it in the branches of the trees thinking that it might get stuck up there somewhere.

"1,2,3 and... go!" I threw it at go but unfortunately, it didn't stick but it just went up and down in the same direction, onto me.

"Ek!" it came right towards me.

"Should I change direction?" I believed that if I threw it just straight up it would get stuck but it seems like I need to throw it somewhere else.

"1,2,3 and Go!" it went diagonally and towards the big branch of a tree.

"..." I saw it going between the branches and not getting stuck anywhere and it gradually after reaching the highest point it came down, because of the earth's gravity.

"Damn you Gravity." but who knew that instead of reaching the ground it would touch the branch before that.

It barely touched the side of a branch and changed direction.

"Oh, God it's coming down again." Why do I feel anxious? Because I want to remove these things before anyone else comes here and also I need to go back to my hotspot.

Fortunately, the change in direction was a blessing in disguise. At last, the silencer got stuck, and also it was almost hidden by the leaves.

"Now the gun." I picked up the gun.

"Huh?" it was not as heavy as I had imagined, I thought it would be much heavier.

Anyway, I need to hide this and for that, I need to dig a hole somewhere distant from the crate.

I moved in the opposite direction as Alice and started digging a hole. But I need something sharp to do that.

I picked a rock with a sharp edge and started digging.

"*sigh*, at last, it's done.`` After hard work I was able to make a hole big enough to hide the remaining things inside.

Why did I also put the silencer with the other things? That's because I can't put everything in the same place. In case someone finds this hole they might get all these things, even though any of it is not of use but sometimes we need to hide things for their benefit. I don't care about their benefits or safety, I just don't want myself to be in danger.

I made a couple of different holes and made them camouflage it with the surroundings.

"Now shall we head back?" I walked towards Alice to check whether her condition has changed or not but it looks like it hasn't changed a bit.

"Alice, get up we are going back," I said but it was the same as before.

"...." I pulled her hand forcefully to make her stand.

"Let's go." I pulled her hand and started walking. Almost an hour two must have passed by now and I think it's going to be night soon so I picked up my pace.

...

We walked back in the same direction through which we came.

Since Alice hasn't said a single word I could hear the rustling sound of dry leaves lying on the ground as we walked.

Now that I noticed I haven't seen a living animal since the last few days. Not a single sound of birds chirping nor a single sight of that three-eyed beast. Did they just vanish all of sudden?

"Huh?" I was just wandering around as we both walked but my eyes caught attention to something which was standing out alone.

"Hey, what's this? I didn't expect that something would grow in between all these trees..." It was a banana tree. I don't know in which weather bananas grow or which soil they grow. If Selene was here she must know about this.

It's quite suspicious, on our way earlier it wasn't here and now it's here, no tree can grow 7 feet tall within hours.

Is it a trap? There is a possibility, Mr. X must be knowing that now most of them would be desperate to eat food and he put a trap here so that many of us would eat it and get poisoned and will get disqualified. I can think of this as a possibility.

"I am not going to eat something from such a suspicious tree." I decided not to eat this and instead I walked past it.

As soon as I reached the hotspot...

"!?" I stopped a few steps back.

"H..... k." I heard a few voices from the front.

Who are they?
