A Flower Shop in a Horror Game

[Short Horror Stories in an Episodic Format]

Blood-red rules for a ghost story were written on the blackboard:

Rule 1: Everyone must remain quiet at their seats during class. If there is a sound at someone's seat, the teacher will randomly take one of that person's organs.

Rule 2: If the room stays quiet for more than five minutes, the teacher will randomly call on a student to answer a question. If they answer incorrectly, the teacher will randomly take one of their organs.

Organs: heart (losing it means certain death), liver, spleen, lungs (losing them means certain death), kidneys, stomach, intestines, brain (losing it means certain death), eyes, ears, nose, throat.

In the tiny classroom, which had only five seats, Lin Hao, Su Yang, Li Yue, Zhao Yu, and Ye Yao read the bloody rules on the blackboard, then glanced at the teacher, who had started lecturing nonstop at the front of the room.

It seemed this teacher was the monster in this horror game.

Zhao Yu didn't dare look at the teacher for long. His mind went blank, filled with just one thought: how could anyone live after losing an organ?

He was so frightened that his body kept trembling. The shaking startled a pencil inside his desk, and it accidentally rolled out. It hit the desk leg with a soft tap, a sound that stood out sharply in the classroom's near-unnatural silence.

The teacher's ghastly gaze swept over like a sword. Zhao Yu felt his heart suddenly race wildly, as if it were about to leap out of his throat. Fear quickly washed over him, leaving his limbs stiff and unable to move.

The teacher walked up to Zhao Yu and slowly raised a hand with a smile. His razor-sharp nails gleamed in the light, sending a chill through the room. "Student, please remain quiet during class."

The teacher's nails were sharper than a scalpel. In an instant, he took Zhao Yu's nose!

The pain was unbearable, and Zhao Yu let out a shriek of agony!

The teacher raised his hand once more, smiling. "Student, please remain quiet during class."

In less than five minutes, two people had died. Su Yang's expression turned terribly grim!

Time passed quickly.

One minute remained. Li Yue picked up an eraser from the pile of stationery in the desk, glanced at the clock on the wall, and stared maliciously at one of their companions.

With three seconds left until the next five-minute mark, the second hand pointed to the next tick

Li Yue and Su Yang raised the stationery in their hands at exactly the same time!

Game Setting

He had it bad enough going from a human to a little demon who spent every day in fear. After finally working hard enough to rise from a weak demon to a wickedly charming great demon, he seized a little territory and became its ruler, only to be struck down by justice from above. His home was destroyed, and he was taken prisoner!

Justice from Above: Demon, demon, become my butler and complete my tasks. I'll grant you one wish.

Him: Why would a god want a demon for a butler? What gave you such a bizarre idea, an anime?

Justice from Above: Are you doing it or not? If not, I'll kill you.

Him: At your command, wise and glorious God.

But the so-called butler's task was to collect and refine the unpleasant negative energy for the great God, turning it into the most perfect Flowers of Evil.

Demons couldn't walk among humans, so he created a horror game System, keeping a group of recently deceased people whose souls had not yet vanished, and making contracts with them to fulfill the god's demands.

As for him, he became a flower shop owner. Where the Flowers of Evil bloomed, he sent away the people who could no longer provide negative energy, wishing them a longer life in their next one.

Note: The demon only appears occasionally. This story is primarily a collection of short horror stories in an episodic format.

Theme: Those who do evil will come to ruin. The hymn of humanity is a hymn of courage.
