Chapter 2 - heartless children

    After the violent shaking of the world the bus we were on stopped moving, the driver hit his head and had been knocked out, we were 20 in total on the bus and most them were the elderly

    What the..... Is that a cat. That girl she has a cat with her,  for some reason cats loves me but the feeling aren't mutual, I loath them

    " stop panicking, I'm aware you all know nothing and aren't ready for this event so I got you covered" a voice of kid could be heard clearly at the back of the bus

    The boy was laying down facing up, talking with his eyes closed, he looked like he was seven years old, he had short gray hair, he was wearing black red hoody and a black trousers

    What's with that brat.... Wait his voice I've heard it from somewhere, his voice aside what is it with that menacing aura everyone has gone quiet despite him being a kid. I hope my sister is alright

    The moment everyone heard his voice they all looked him and no one moved except a man wearing a black suit who started walking up to the kid furiously

    " I hate kids especially bratty ones like you, you should learn to be respectful of your elders " the man in the suit said as he was about to hit the boy

    The who girl held on to me got embarrassed and am quickly let go of my hand, I didn't notice because I was paying attention to the scary kid in the back

    

    At the precise moment the guy hit the kid. The little boy slowly opened his eyes and looked at the guy who hit him I heard a cutting sound. his entire body started turn into small pieces like it was cut into a hundred pieces within a two seconds

    What the hell just happened....  w-was that old guy just cut down to pieces or what

    " I know what you're all thinking...yeah I cut him down or should I say he killed himself "

    The kid started to look around and everyone was moving away from him in fear then kid just smiled with a red glow in his eyes

    " That's more like it, hey everyone don't worry I know you are a bunch of idiots but I'm not here to kill but to guide you all in this new world, by the way you can call me Gui "

    With the expression of denial on my face I looked at the girl next to me and her stats appeared in front me including her name

    I finished reading some of her stats and I learnt her name. I heard a weird sound for a split moment and the blue window appeared this time with full details about the event

    [ Event A

    " I see the the first event is about to begin I guess there won't be time for a tutorial. Alright listen if if " 

    Gui stopped talking without finishing his sentence and he started walking towards a woman who was wearing a brown suit, she had short gray hair and a really attractive figure, she looked like a office type of lady

    " Huhhh I've finally found you after all this time "

    " W-wait.... who are you.... what do you want from me " the woman asked but Gui stayed quiet with a cold looked his eyes

    " You don't need to know because knowing won't change anything for me or you  "

    Gui said as he lifted up his hand and straightened his finger

    He pierced her neck and pulled out his hand, she fell down with blood flowing down her as she struggled to catch breath. Gui snapped his fingers and she disappeared

    He said that he not here to kill us but this kid is a freak show, if I try to get out I'll stand out and drag attention to myself  what do I do

    The new development of our situation left me at a loss for words and I started to freak out but I did my best not to let show or maybe I was just to scared to do anything

     " As I was saying... if you want to survive do everything listed on event window if don't want to..... then ignore it "

    After the fine explanation Gui started glowing as he slowly disappeared and everyone in bus started to panic since they had no clue about what will follow

    The place I choose Is full of losers and weaklings, one boy is a complete mess I can't even get a read on him, but who am i to complain

    " Since I'm so nice I'll give you a hint, each kill is worth 50 coins. So you know what to do right " Gui said after finishing his thought

    After Gui completely vanished I realized what he was telling us to do and I was sure everyone was thinking the same thing

    Time was starting to run out, 30 minutes were remaining and everyone on the bus was panicking some believed while others tried to use logic because they all failed to accept the reality of our situation

    [ Event updated ]

    Huh event update what does this mean I hope it's something useful or a clue to what we are suppose to do

    After finishing my thought I opened the event window to see how the event was updated and it was nothing like I was expecting

    [ Event A

THE BEGINNING OF THE END

Requirements: survive, earn 100 coins and kill 5 (0/5) bad people on the bus

Event details: survive the next 20 minutes and have 100 coins by the end of the event using any means necessary, you must kill five bad people on the bus without anyone realizing that you are culprit

Reward: 200 coins and gaining one special skill

Upon failure: death ]

    This is starting to get scary in an interesting way, so they are telling me to kill 5 people on this bus without anyone knowing that I'm responsible, talk about asking for the impossible

     After knowing what I was told to do, I wanted to freak out but for unknown reasons I was calm, I because so calm it started to scary me

    " Hey Rin what does your event window say "

    I asked Rin because I wanted to know if we all had to fulfill the same requirements or if we had different things we needed to do in order to survive

    " I-it says that I have to survive and have 100 coins by the end of the event "

    " Alright then so you just have to survive, stay close to me just to be safe since you already have fulfilled the other requirement"

    I know that if manage to find a way to kill some of these it won't be hard for me figure out who is bad or who isn't, I just have kill anyone since all humans are same what determines if we are good or bad is the situation and the point of view of others so anyone I see to bad will be if I create the right situation

    The people in the bus were starting to get hostile, time was running out and my phone keep ringing with notifications. I knew that it wouldn't take long before it turn into a blood bath

    This is starting to look ugly, if I don't do something I'll end up losing my life but it doesn't have to be this way

     " Everyone listen up, let's try to calm down and think this through. Try using your head just for a few seconds, we necessarily kill each other...killing anything else should be okay "

    After hearing what I said some of people started to calm or other got more hostile that I could sense their bloodlust from a distance but out the people one man wearing his pajamas stood out he was like leading the people who wanted to kill each other and he started to come near me

    " What is that nonsense you are barking, can't you see that's like gambling with our lives "

    The pajama guy agreed with 6 others that they should get rid of the elderly since they are easier to kill and I didn't like the idea so I tried to reason with them

    " Wait just think if you kill someone even if you survive you'll become a murderer and the law won't let you but if kill someone like an animal you'll survive "

    " That's bullshit, you saw the crazy shit that kid pulled and you think I'll risk myself for such a stupid reason I'd rather take the chance of being a murderer and survive " the man in pajamas said angrily

    There's that survival instinct that makes us humans so bad, when backed into a corner even a mouse will fight back and this guy just got In my trap. He will my ticket out this mess.

    The moment we stopped talking everyone  else had already started fighting the pajama man joined in the fighting, Rin held on to my shirt, my phone didn't stop ringing so I took it out my pocket to check and it said
