Chapter 4 Order 1 Wednesday, June 2, 4:10pm

After class, the grade tutor Mr. Shou, wearing a full set of indigo sportswear, stood in front of the podium and shouted vigorously: "Tomorrow is the sports meeting we have been waiting for for a long time! We must win the championship! Knock down Class 4!" "Oh! Defeat Class 4!" The students in the class shouted along with Teacher Shou. "Don't spread this word, because the teacher doesn't want to lose to Maeda-sensei from Class 4." "why?" "Simply put, he is my rival!" "If you say something, you don't say anything. Teacher, it's too early to wear sportswear today, isn't it?"

In the noisy and joyful atmosphere of the class, Natsuko said to Nobuaki in a cheerful tone: "When you hand over the baton to me, you must grab the first place in the lead!" "I know." "Well, but even if you are overtaken by others, I will chase you back. Anyway, in the end, you will definitely reach the finish line first." Natsuko stuck out her tongue and said with a smile. Both Nobuaki and Nazuko participated in the mixed men's and women's relay races, and the scheduled succession order is Seungri, Yuna, Nobuaki, and Nazuko. "Shin-kun, if you are overtaken and become the last one... I can't spare you."

"Don't worry! I am very confident in my physical strength and foot strength, and it is impossible to lose to others." After school that day, when Nobuaki was walking through the corridor, he saw two girls washing rags at the faucet with buckets.When Nobuaki walked behind them, he overheard their conversation. "I heard that Nazuko's parents have passed away, do you know?" "Never heard of it. Really?" "Hmm. Nazuko seems to have committed suicide before. Probably the sequelae of suicide and mental trauma. She can't remember her childhood memories at all. Now she lives with her grandmother."

"It's so pitiful..." "Don't tell others. Natsuko doesn't seem to want others to know about her past." Although she has a tragic past, Nazuko is living so cheerfully now, she is really strong.If there is no mother... I will really become a lonely person. Nobuaki left the campus with a feeling of sadness in his heart. Late that night, the phone rang unexpectedly. This text message is exactly the same as it was 7 months ago. Seven months ago, a mysterious text message came from a person in the name of "King", and everything started from there. The order in the text message, as if cruelly playing with the classmates in the class, asking them to compete with each other for survival, is an order that makes people shudder inside.

To obey orders?Still have to accept punishment?The students in the class must make a decision in the cracks of the final choice. Some people would rather sacrifice their lives in order to protect their loved ones, but there are also people who are in hatred and do not hesitate to kill their classmates. Even if you want to escape, you can't escape.Once the mobile phone number is terminated, or if you refuse to receive the king's text message, it is tantamount to violating the rules of the game and you will also be punished. There is no way to escape punishment... The classmates who used to get along with each other suddenly became hostile to each other, and the friendship was ruthlessly torn to pieces.

Nobuaki lost his classmates, best friend, girlfriend... He lost everything, and he was the only one who survived. This is the last order.In the final choice, Nobuaki chose to participate in the king's game again. "...After all, I received it. Although it is a bit self-willed to say so, I still can't help but hope that such a peaceful day can last one more day. This time...is the person named Nazuko?" He recalled the memory that seemed to be hollowed out by sharp claws. Nobuaki stared at the phone screen like this for a while.Then, he walked slowly to the bedroom where his mother slept.

Mother was fast asleep, snoring slightly.Nobuaki said in a small voice that almost didn't want to wake up his mother: "It's started." "...Although I have realized it a long time ago, it really started." "Ah! Mom hasn't slept yet?" Wrapped in a quilt, the mother turned over to Nobuaki, looking at Nobuaki with sleepy eyes. "I'm asleep, but not asleep. Come, come and sit here." Mother stretched out her hand from under the blanket, held Nobuaki's hand, and stroked it slowly. "Nobuaki has grown so much, he has really become an adult. Just like your name, your physique is constantly stretched and raised, and your personality is bright and cheerful. You look like your father. Dad must also want to see Nobuaki It looks like it grew up. The place we moved to is actually a place where my father and mother are full of memories."

"A place full of memories?" "Yeah. It's very peaceful and peaceful here, isn't it? I think this should make Nobuaki feel relieved." "...What a nice place." "From now on, my mother will cook every day, waiting for Nobuaki to come back. She will do it every day, and she will do a lot, so much that you can't finish it." Nobuaki said nothing.His hands trembled, tears rolled in his eyes. In front of his mother, he really couldn't hold back his tears, so Nobuaki hurried out of the bedroom. When I was about to walk out of the room, I heard my mother crying behind me, saying, "Don't leave Mom alone..."

The voice sounded a little hazy, probably because of the quilt covering his face and crying. The tears accumulated in the eye sockets poured out all at once. "I'm sorry, Mom." Nobuaki has decided to participate in the king game again.However, it was still too difficult for him.It was really too difficult for him to fight alone. Nobuaki returned to his room and was about to lie back on the bed when his cell phone rang suddenly. "Hey, can you hear me! I received a very strange text message just now!" "..." "The sender wrote 'the king', and 'the king's order must be fulfilled'! What's more, the content of the order is 'I want to kiss Mr. Shen'! Don't you think it's funny?"

"What kind of message is this? I don't understand what it means! Could it be someone playing a prank?" "That's right! But, the sender's number is weird..." "Don't worry about it! It must be some idiot sending text messages randomly. Just pretend you didn't see it." "That's right! Don't talk too much. There is a game tomorrow, go to bed early! Bye~~" "Good night." After the call ended, the only sound was a hollow electronic beep.
