The Ultimate Borer

Chapter 175 The Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony Begins, Cao Cao Draws Lots

"Dear students, your great principal was almost hurt a while ago!"

At this moment, in the school's celebration square, members of the guard were guarding the surroundings with real guns and live ammunition. Students gathered in the square to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven led by Dong Zhuo.

"But fortunately, I usually do good deeds and accumulate good karma, so of course I am safe and sound. But I still want to thank all my classmates for worrying about me!"

Dong Zhuo spoke hypocritically on the high platform. His pretentious face made the Five Tiger Generals feel sick.

"Everyone, no matter what the outcome, our great Principal Dong Zhuo was ultimately the victim, and we successfully captured the attacker, Cao Cao. Although he was once the student union president of Dong Han Academy, he violated the campus autonomy law and is still subject to the death penalty. However, our great Principal Dong Zhuo is kind-hearted and hopes to use the Divine Will Clause to give him another chance!"

Li Ru bowed to Dong Zhuo and then waved his hand.

"Bring it up!"

"go!"

"President!!!"

Following Li Ru's order, Cao Cao, who was tied up, was pushed onto the platform by two members of the guard team. His embarrassed appearance was displayed in front of all the classmates.

"Li Ru, I will avenge today's vengeance when I, Cao Cao, escape from this predicament!"

Cao Cao looked determined. His Cao family had been full of heroes for generations, but now his face was being trampled under the feet of Li Ru.

"Hey, you want revenge? Great! I want to see how you escape today!"

Li Ru gave Cao Cao a mocking look, then turned around and ignored him.

"The Eastern Han Academy's Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony is now underway. The six supervisory committee members sent by the entire school alliance are standing by. They will oversee the entire ceremony to ensure fairness!"

The students looked in the direction of Li Ru's finger, and sure enough, there were six men in suits and ties, who looked like they were in high positions, sitting under the eaves with serious expressions.

"Everyone, don't be impulsive!"

Just as the Five Tiger Generals were about to go on stage to rescue people by force, Sun Shangxiang came over from the side. Seeing her coming, the Five Tiger Generals stopped their restless actions.

"If you force your way to save him now, you can only escape for three days at most. After that, you will face the school alliance's dragnet. Besides, didn't I say I have a way to save Cao Cao?"

Ah Xiang's words were like a reassurance to everyone, and everyone continued to watch with peace of mind.

"Shoot him immediately!"

It is not known whether he wanted to scare Cao Cao or verify the fairness of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Before executing the God's Will Clause on Cao Cao, Li Ru first found a student who had sexually assaulted the school. After the student drew the death sign, he immediately asked the guards to drag him away. Finally, with a gunshot, half a minute later, two guards carried his body out.

"Classmates, as you can see, we have only prepared one lot for life and one lot for death. Those who draw the lot for life will be released on the spot, while those who draw the lot for death will be shot immediately."

Mei Niang's eyes rolled around, and then she spoke to Dong Zhuo in a flattering manner.

"However, since our Lord Dong Zhuo is open to reform, we will no longer use the lot that the student just used. For this year's Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony, we will use a different method!"

After saying that, Li Ru waved to the side, and immediately a member of the guard team came up with a box in his hand. Li Ru took the box and placed it on the table in front of him.

"No way…"

There was disbelief in Ah Xiang's eyes, and a bad thought suddenly arose in her heart.

"Today, the way we draw lots is different from the past. Previously, we used two lots, one for life and one for death, placed on the table for drawing. This would have allowed for cheating, so our guard team rushed to make this box overnight!"

Li Ru opened the box and found more than ten small black and white balls inside.

"There are 14 balls in the box, 7 black and white. Cao Cao will draw lots from the hole in the box. If he draws a black ball, he will die, and if he draws a white ball, he will live!"

Li Ru chuckled and unconsciously glanced at Dong Zhuo who was sitting above him.

"Cao Cao, don't blame our principal for not giving you a chance. There are seven white balls here. Whether you can pick one out depends on your luck!"

After Li Ru finished speaking, he handed the box and the ball to six supervisory committee members for inspection. After the six supervisory committee members checked, they announced in public that there was no problem with the drawing props.

"Oops!"

"What's wrong, Miss Sun?"

Everyone looked at the pale Sun Shangxiang and asked anxiously.

"I never thought that Dong Zhuo would suddenly change the way of drawing lots. What I told Cao Cao was the method of drawing the life and death lots!"

"what!"

Everyone was frightened and at a loss as to what to do. This meant that the method that Sun Shangxiang had explained to Cao Cao last night could no longer be used.

"Never mind, let's just rush over and save them!"

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, then said, immediately rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush to the platform, but a hand grabbed his sleeve.

"Fang Mu, what are you doing? Why are you stopping me from saving the president? He's about to die!"

Fang Mu had a cold expression on his face, and his eyes were looking at Cao Cao on the high platform. Cao Cao's face was also a little pale, but his determined look did not change.

"Even if the method Miss Sun gave me doesn't work, what does it matter? I, Cao Cao, have come this far not only by relying on scheming, but also by the courage that has been passed down through generations of my Cao family!"

Cao Cao stood defiantly, like a bamboo, standing straight on the high platform.

"Zhang Fei, even if you want to die, do you want to take your brothers with you?"

Fang Mu's words stopped Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei looked in the direction of Fang Mu's gaze and saw that all the guards had loaded their guns, as if they were waiting for someone to forcibly rescue them.

"But if we don't save him, we'll just have to watch the president die!"

"Not always!"

Fang Mu remained calm and tried hard to think of a way to break the deadlock.

"Sun Jian, Sun Jian, you have raised a wonderful daughter. If I hadn't been so cunning and secretly placed a surveillance camera in the confinement room, eavesdropping on the conversation between Sun Shangxiang and Cao Cao last night, I really wouldn't be able to be so at ease during today's Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony!"

At this moment, Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in the back, had a smile on his face, while Wang Yun, who was sitting next to him, looked very anxious.

"Vice Principal Dong, Cao Cao is certainly a capable man. He helped me many times before you came to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Why don't you do me a favor and let him make amends for his crime?"

After hearing Wang Yun's words, Dong Zhuo immediately put on a pitiful look.

"Little Yunyun, you know me well. When I was little, I was bullied a lot, and you always helped me get back at me. But now I'm different. I've been bullied a lot more. So, if anyone dares to bully me, I will definitely retaliate!"

Dong Zhuo gave a wicked smile and looked at the helpless crowd below the stage.

"Besides, it's not like I didn't give Cao Cao a chance. I even thoughtfully increased the number of balls. Before, you could only draw one out of two lots, but now you can draw seven out of 14. Am I not being very kind?"

Dong Zhuo's words left Wang Yun unable to refute. There was no way. After all, the Divine Will Clause was like that. Even if he was the principal of the Eastern Han Academy, he had no right to modify or deny it.

"Alright, everyone, be quiet. The drawing of lots for the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony will begin immediately!"

Li Ru counted the 14 small balls again in public, then covered the box under everyone's gaze and shook it vigorously. After shaking it for a minute, he carefully placed the box on the table.

"Student Cao Cao, please draw!"

Li Ru and Mei Niang smiled at each other. Only they and Dong Zhuo knew what had happened.

"This……"

Cao Cao walked to the table and looked at the black hole on the top of the box. The hole on the top of the box was only wide enough for one hand to reach in. Moreover, the makers of the box were very careful and painted the inside of the black box with black paint, making it impossible to see what was inside the box from the outside.

"If you don't draw, you'll forfeit your right to draw lots and be executed immediately!"

Seeing Cao Cao hesitating, Li Ru said with a sly smile.

"Of course I can!"

Cao Cao glared at Li Ru, then slowly reached into the box and began to grope around.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you want to draw, just do it now. Stop scratching around in there. There are only two colors, black and white. Do you expect to catch other colors?"
