All the red team members walked inside.
Yoo-Chun looked around and said: "I'm going to find my friends to play with."
The red team scattered.
At this moment, Player 453 was walking along the corridor outside a classroom, then entered one.
Player 131 came out of another classroom. Just as he was about to go down the stairs, he encountered Yoo-Chun. He immediately ran, and Yoo-Chun chased after him.
Meanwhile, Soo-Mi and Jung-Hyuk reached an office. Soo-Mi carefully opened the door and entered with Jung-Hyuk.
Just as they were about to sit down and catch their breath, their bracelet emitted a sound, startling them both.
From the bracelet, someone cried in terror: "My hand's been cut... please come save me. No! No!!!"
Then the voice was cut off.
The broadcast announced: "Player 91, eliminated. Player 157, cleared."
Hearing the sound from the bracelet, Jung-Hyuk angrily threw his own to the ground and stomped on it, cursing: "You bastard."
Soo-Mi was startled by his reaction.
After smashing the bracelet, he looked up at the surveillance camera.
The host was watching him at that very moment.
Suddenly, the door opened—Player 33 (Red Team), holding a knife, entered.
Jung-Hyuk shielded Soo-Mi behind him, grabbed a nearby chair, and smashed it toward Player 33.
Player 33 cursed: "Bastard!" and rushed forward.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Yan saw Player 129 (Blue Team) being stabbed to death in the distance, then entered a nearby room.
"Player 129, eliminated. Player 116, cleared."
As soon as Zhen-Yan entered, Yong-Jun happened to pass by the corridor outside. He spotted Player 225 (Blue Team) fleeing ahead and gave chase.
The time read 25:31.
Yoo-Chun walked to a row of cabinets, opening them one by one.
The scraping of the blade against the cabinets was ear-piercing.
When he reached the last one, he said: "Little darling, are you inside?"
He opened it—Player 9 (Blue Team) was trembling inside.
Player 9 begged: "Please let me go, I have a wife and children."
Yoo-Chun replied: "Like I give a damn!"
Then he plunged the knife viciously into Player 9's abdomen—once, twice.
"Player 9, eliminated. Player 239, cleared."
Yong-Jun caught up with Player 225.
Just as he raised his knife, Player 225 pleaded in fear: "Spare me, I beg you."
Yong-Jun couldn't bring himself to kill. Instead, he cursed angrily: "Damn it!" and let her go.
Elsewhere, Da-Qiang caught up with Yoo-Chun.
Da-Qiang asked: "You killed one?"
Yoo-Chun nodded: "Remember—whenever you see a blue team member, kill them. That way, we profit doubly."
Da-Qiang ran off.
Yoo-Chun removed Player 9's bracelet and wore it himself.
Leaning close, he whispered into it: "You'd better hide well, my little darlings~."
Player 99, hearing the piercing sound from his bracelet, wandered into the stadium stands. Just as he was about to move on, Bei-Bei's head popped up from below. Both were so frightened they collapsed to the ground. After calming down, they avoided each other.
Screams echoed sporadically around the school.
Player 78 had just gone upstairs when Player 370 appeared in his sight. Player 78 immediately turned and ran, with Player 370 in pursuit.
Zhen-Yan entered the cafeteria.
As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, Player 108 (Red Team) entered from the back door. Zhen-Yan tried to escape, but Player 15 (Red Team) blocked the front door.
The scene shifted—Player 81 (Blue Team) and Player 393 (Blue Team) were fleeing desperately, chased by Player 39 (Red Team).
Halfway, Player 81 tripped. Player 393 rushed to help, but Player 81 shoved him backward.
Player 393 fell to the ground, staring in fear at the approaching Player 39: "Wait, wait!"
But Player 39 stabbed him repeatedly in the abdomen.
Player 81 seized the chance to escape into a corner, listening as Player 393's screams grew fainter, until they ceased.
"Player 393, eliminated. Player 39, cleared."
Player 370 continued chasing Player 78. Cornered, Player 78 faced him.
Player 370 said: "Didn't I tell you not to let me find you?"
Player 78 clenched his fists: "Come on then, you loser!"
Player 370 lunged with his knife. Player 78 grabbed his arm and struck him with an elbow. Seizing the blade, Player 78 tried stabbing back, but Player 370 flung him away, then quickly locked his throat from behind.
Player 78 kicked against the wall, slamming both of them to the ground.
He scrambled up, reaching for a broom. Suddenly, Player 370 snatched the fallen knife and stabbed his back—once, twice, over and over in a frenzy.
From a distance, Player 99 watched the scene unfold.
Player 370 rose to his feet.
"Player 78, eliminated. Player 370, cleared."
Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Zhen-Yan stepped back and said: "If you both kill me, you still won't clear."
Player 108 sneered: "Then we'll just kill one more, won't we?"
Both rushed him. Zhen-Yan kicked a chair at Player 15, striking his knee and making him stumble. Player 108 lunged with a knife, but Zhen-Yan blocked with his arm and threw him aside.
As Player 15 struggled to stand, Zhen-Yan kicked Player 108 into him. The knife in Player 15's hand sank into Player 108's back.
Player 108 stared in shock at Player 15, who froze in horror.
Clutching his wound, Player 108 collapsed.
Zhen-Yan said: "The rules say red team can't stab each other. You're done for."
Player 15 froze. Zhen-Yan used the chance to escape.
The time read 19:48.
Player 68 entered an office, passing a row of desks. Suddenly, he stopped, backing up to check beneath—there was Player 221 (Blue Team), injured.
Player 221 wept: "Please don't kill me. I beg you, spare me."
Player 68 looked at him pitifully, then at the knife in his hand. As he hesitated, Player 221 lunged forward.
He tackled Player 68, but the knife pierced Player 221's abdomen. Player 68 pressed harder, driving it all the way in.
Player 221 collapsed on top of him. Player 68 gasped for breath.
"Player 221, eliminated. Player 68, cleared."
Meanwhile, Jung-Hyuk and Soo-Mi were fleeing. Soo-Mi panted as she climbed the stairs. Jung-Hyuk was about to follow when Player 453 appeared ahead.
Jung-Hyuk said to Soo-Mi: "Go ahead, I'll distract them."
He ran off. Soo-Mi watched him leave.
Elsewhere, Bei-Bei ran along a classroom corridor. He glanced inside—Player 33 spotted him and gave chase.
They ran from the first floor all the way to the fifth.
Cornered, Bei-Bei blocked Player 33's thrust with his hands.
Just as he was about to give in, someone grabbed Player 33's leg from behind.
Player 33 cried in terror: "No, no!"
With a scream, he fell from the fifth floor.
Bei-Bei looked down—Player 33 was shattered on the ground below.
Then he looked up—it was Zhen-Yan who had pushed him.
Zhen-Yan said: "Go, hide quickly."
Player 304 (Blue Team) fled into a corridor. As he opened a classroom door, Yoo-Chun burst out and stabbed him repeatedly in the abdomen.
Player 304 collapsed, blood pooling everywhere.
The time read 13:26.
Da-Qiang entered the gym, shutting the door. He looked up at Soo-Mi: "Hello there, fatty's friend."
Soo-Mi stared at him.
Meanwhile, Jung-Hyuk turned a corner and ran into Player 131. Both were startled, and Player 131 fled. Jung-Hyuk entered a nearby door.
Just then, Player 99 rushed up, chased by Player 453.
They raced into the playground.
As Player 453 was about to catch him, he stepped into a hole, tripped, and knocked his head against a stone, losing consciousness.
Player 99 cautiously approached.
Player 68 arrived from a distance, grabbed his hand: "Come with me."
They ran off together.
The scene shifted—Soo-Mi grabbed a badminton racket: "You... bastard."
He lunged, smashing the racket against Da-Qiang's knife. Da-Qiang winced in pain and stepped back. Soo-Mi swung again, but Da-Qiang dodged—the racket broke, leaving only the sharp handle.
Momentarily dazed, Soo-Mi was shoved into the gym equipment. Da-Qiang snatched his knife and thrust at him, but Soo-Mi blocked with the racket's broken handle.
Then, with his other hand, Soo-Mi crushed Da-Qiang's testicles.
Da-Qiang collapsed, writhing on the floor in agony, tears streaming.
Moments later, his face turned purple—he died from the pain.
Soo-Mi slumped: "I... I avenged you."
The time read 7:19.
Zhen-Yan said to Bei-Bei: "Stay here. I'm going out."
Bei-Bei asked: "Where?"
Zhen-Yan paused, then answered: "To avenge."
Elsewhere, Player 177 (Red Team) entered a restroom. Opening a stall, Jung-Hyuk burst out.
Player 68 led Player 99 into a stairwell.
He told him: "Go straight up to the balcony and lock the door tight. Quick! Red team is coming."
Player 99 nodded and ran.
The scene shifted—Yong-Jun still hadn't killed a single person.
As he walked, Zhen-Yan appeared before him.
Yong-Jun raised his knife and charged.
Meanwhile, in the restroom, Jung-Hyuk struggled for Player 177's knife. Player 177 flung him aside and stabbed—piercing Jung-Hyuk's hand. Blood dripped onto his face.
Player 99, hearing the surrounding screams, reached the balcony, locked the door, and crouched down in fear.
Yong-Jun knocked Zhen-Yan down and tried to stab him, but Zhen-Yan punched his face. Yong-Jun collapsed. Zhen-Yan kicked his head into the wall, dazing him.
Other side, just as Jung-Hyuk was about to collapse, someone grabbed Player 177 from behind, seized his knife, and stabbed his throat.
Player 177 fell. In Jung-Hyuk's eyes appeared Player 262 (Blue Team).
Player 262 helped him up. Jung-Hyuk said: "Thank you."
The time read 3:57.
Mounting Yong-Jun, Zhen-Yan pounded his fists down, shouting: "You're the bastard!"
Seeing Yong-Jun unable to fight back, Zhen-Yan grabbed a fallen knife and stabbed his arm, then pulled it out.
Yong-Jun screamed in pain.
Frightened by his own actions, Zhen-Yan dropped the knife and fled.
Yong-Jun picked up the knife and, leaning against the wall, slowly stood. His vision was blurred.
Time remaining: 56 seconds.
Jung-Hyuk and Soo-Mi met in a classroom, then left together with Player 262.
Outside, Jung-Hyuk saw Yong-Jun staggering, clutching his arm. He ran to him—Yong-Jun finally collapsed.
Lying in Jung-Hyuk's arms, Yong-Jun whispered: "I haven't killed a single person... and now I'm about to die."
Soo-Mi and Player 262 stood behind, listening.
Jung-Hyuk raised Yong-Jun's knife hand to his own throat: "Kill me—kill me and you'll survive."
Yong-Jun shoved his hand away, tossed the knife aside: "It's enough if you live."
Then he smiled faintly.
With a beep, the broadcast declared:
"Game over."
Jung-Hyuk held Yong-Jun tightly, while Soo-Mi wept uncontrollably behind them. Player 262 felt his heart ache at the sight.
With his last strength, Yong-Jun whispered: "Pl... Player 18..."
Masked men approached, pulling Jung-Hyuk away.
He struggled, crying: "No... Yong-Jun... No, Yong-Jun!!!"
A gunshot rang out.
"Player 56, eliminated."
