Without any hesitation, Zion took a bite of the apple.
After a while, he realized that he felt nothing. He had made the right choice.
The voice couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone looked around curiously at the surveillance cameras around. Something felt off about the operator on this floor.
"Now, Mr. Eason Grant, do you have a wish?"
The voice pointed Eason out again.
Eason pointed at himself and said, "Who, me? A wish? Send Joel back too, then."
As if the person was holding back their laughter, they said, "If I may ask, would Mr. Eason Grant dare to finish the remaining food on the table? From what I know, there's a high chance that the remaining food is poisonous."
Eason frowned, then turned around to look at Steven and I.
He grumbled, "Is this person crazy? Is he mocking me?"
Steven nodded solemnly.
"Yeah. He's looking down on you, but I don't know why you're letting him do it."
That was a very somber way to provoke somebody.
I couldn't help but laugh.
Steven stared at me in amusement for a while.
Provoked, Eason grabbed a bottle of milk from the table.
"If I die, I die. Everyone dies in the end, but I don't want to die."
And so, Eason took a sip of the milk with a straw.
To his surprise, he survived.
Steven looked at Eason as if he was an idiot.
Steven shook his head and whispered to me, "Do you see that? We're both students of the advanced class, but we're very different."
I nodded solemnly too.
Just as the voice was about to speak, Taylor, who had been "dead", gradually regained consciousness.
In a feeble voice, he said, "Water…"
Quinn hid behind Zion in fear.
"H-He's alive!"
Finally, the voice couldn't help but break out laughing. With the voice changer, it sounded eerie.
"He simply choked because he was being too greedy! None of the food is poisonous."
Zion frowned, finally realizing that something didn't add up.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie)
A very good thriller in the beginning ruined by unnecessary twist and unrealistic plots. Exaggerating the story just for the sake of it. Totally disappointed...
