♂?，，

  These past few days, he had hardly slept a good nights sleep, and once he fell asleep, he would sleep until the sun was high in the sky. When he woke up in a daze, he suddenly realized that his brain was naturally emitting a cool gas, which was stimulating a special spot on his brow. From this spot, a strange energy flowed into his body, making Shi Ling feel refreshed and invigorated, as if he had an endless supply of strength.

  "Whats going on... Could it be Ghostly Strength?" Shi Ling hastily sat up in bed, waving his arm, and the joints of his arm made a "creaking" sound. His fist clenched, and the muscles of his entire arm tensed up, this kind of power, unprecedented.

  His heart skipped a beat as he jumped out of bed and tried to move a solid wood desk beside his bed.

  His house wasnt big, so there were a lot of things pushed into the room. This table had several large wooden boxes piled up on it. It was almost impossible to move this table with one hand, but today, when Shiling stretched out his right hand to the edge of the table, his palm exerted force, and the muscles in his right hand tensed up. He felt a surge of power pouring out, and the table was easily lifted an inch or two by him.

  Shi Ling put down the table, his heart was both shocked and delighted. He could now confirm that his strength had indeed increased by a lot. Conservatively estimated, it had at least doubled.

  "Ghost Skull... This must be the effect of that Ghost Skull, it seems to stimulate something in my brow point and then make my power grow naturally. Such a thing is simply unimaginable, no wonder that woman called Guide said this was the key to evolution. Now it looks like... maybe... theres some truth to it."

  Shi Ling got excited, for the first time feeling like he had joined that "murder game", and what he gained wasnt bad either.

  After he finished his breakfast, as expected, the police came knocking on the door.

  Seeing the police, Shi Ling was still a bit nervous, after all, he had killed that janitor in a hospital in Hangzhou, and although the sweet woman said she wouldnt leave any evidence, seeing the police made him somewhat uneasy.

  However, the polices intention of finding him was not for any Hangzhou murder case, but to ask about the details of that major traffic accident involving a Central Asian truck.

  Shi Ling brought out the same set of words he said to his parents last night, and the police didnt suspect anything. They just made a record, comforted him with a few words, and then stood up and left.

  After the police left, Shi Ling stayed at home and felt a little annoyed. Today was the weekend, his father was working overtime and not at home. Shi Ling said something to his mother and then left. He wanted to go to Lin Yangs house to take a look and clear his mind.

  His mother agreed and reminded him to be careful on the road.

  Now that summer vacation has officially started in all schools, the weather in July is scorching hot. Lin Yangs family also lives in "Dashang Community", which is very close to his home. He and Lin Yang have been inseparable since childhood, and he is familiar with Lin Yangs family members. Now that Lin Yang is dead, it is only right for Shi Ling to go visit them.

  Before arriving at Lin Yangs home, a heart-wrenching and ear-piercing wail could be heard from afar, which was the crying of Lin Yangs family members and relatives.

  Shi Lings heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable wave of discomfort surged up in her chest.

  Lin Yangs body had been brought back, and when Shi Ling saw Lin Yangs sunny portrait, tears flowed unknowingly.

  "Shi Ling ge..." A sobbing voice came from beside him, Shi Ling hurriedly wiped away his tears and saw that the one calling out to him was a very delicate and pretty girl, but her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, with tears all over her face.

  He recognized that the pretty girl was Lin Yangs younger sister, Lin Qing, two years younger than Lin Yang. She had excellent grades and was a high school student at Municipal No. 1 Middle School, about to enter her third year after summer vacation. Shi Ling had always treated her like a little sister.

  "Lin Qing..." Shi Ling called out, wanting to say something to comfort her, but his voice was already choked with emotion and he couldnt get anything out.

  Lin Qing heard Shi Ling calling her and suddenly burst into tears: "My brother... my brother is dead..." Her body shook, almost unable to stand.

  Shi Ling hastily supported her and said gloomily: "Brother used to be the most fond of, he must not want to see crying like this for him."

  "I know, I know—" Lin Qing cried even harder.

  Shi Ling didnt even know how she left Lin Yangs house, her heart felt as heavy as if it was filled with lead.

  For the next two days, Shiling hid at home, and the feeling of "ghost skull" in his mind became stronger and stronger. When he concentrated his consciousness on his brain, he could clearly feel the energy that was continuously released from his brain, which had a cool feeling and stimulated his body, making his physical strength gradually increase.

  The first days energy increase was the fastest, and afterwards, this growth rate gradually slowed down, but it continued to slowly increase, making him feel like he had endless energy inside his body at all times, with a spirit more vigorous than ever before.

  Before, Shiling had only a hundred or two hundred pounds of strength, but now, in just a few short days, he has grown nearly double that, and his body has at least two to three hundred pounds of power.

  Shi Ling had also searched the news online, but couldnt find any reports on the collapse of the "West Lake" stone arch bridge or the death at the Fourth Hospital. There was no information or news about these incidents, and he didnt know if it was because the authorities had covered them up or if it was due to the influence of some special power that the "guide" had mentioned. At least this made Shi Ling feel more at ease, as the police probably wouldnt come looking for him because of the Hangzhou hospital incident.

  After staying at home for two days, Shi Ling was ready to find a summer job. The university was on vacation, and it wasnt a good idea to stay at home for the two-month summer break. Especially when he calmed down, the scenes of his classmates tragic deaths would always appear in his mind, as well as the fact that he had smashed the janitor to death with a chair. The image of the janitors eyeball popping out of its socket had flashed through his mind countless times, and on several nights, he woke up with a start due to nightmares.

  Just as Shi Ling was about to go out and find a summer job, the device on his left wrist, which had been quiet all along, suddenly transmitted an unusual change. A faint red light flashed by, followed by the familiar sweet female voice in Shi Lings mind.

  "Shi Ling, the second round of Killing Game is about to begin. There will be one hour for preparation, and after that, the transmission will start officially. The countdown begins now."

  He suddenly stopped and raised his left wrist, the screen on the device on his wrist displayed the stunningly beautiful face of a woman, "The Guide" appeared once again.

  "Round two... the killing game..." Shi Ling took a sharp breath, and suddenly a surge of anger welled up in his heart. He grabbed the device on his left wrist with all his might, desperately trying to tear it off.

  Now, between his palms, with just a slight effort, there were two or three hundred catties of strength, directly pulling the arm bones to make a faint "crackling" sound.
