Xavier adjusted his ''blindfold'', the eye mask, and jumped forward, hoping for the best. The others did


    the same, but they could avoid the Poison since they could see. Xavier could also grab someone to be


    his Scapegoat, who the champion could punish too. For his first jump, Xavier was lucky- although he


    did not jump to the Castle, he did not jump onto the Poison either. He jumped onto the Apple, which


    was neither good nor bad.

    Abby was the shortest there, and unluckily jumped onto the Poison on her first jump. Justin and Renee


    jumped to the Castle, while Leia, Jeffrey, and Adie jumped to the Apple. Each square was only a meter


    large, and the Apple square soon became crowded. Both Leia and Jeffrey held their breath in fear of


    getting caught by Xavier.


    However, Justin crossed his arms and teased Xavier. "Mr. Stuart, don''t you want to make me a


    Scapegoat? Come at me! I''m reaching out, so it''s easy for you to grab me." There was a Poison square


    between the Castle and Apple squares, so the people in the Apple square could drag the people in the


    Castle square to cushion their steps, but they needed to be strong... or have long arms.


    Xavier''s temper red, and he snarled fiercely at Justin, "Don''t test me, Justin! I''ll get you even if I have


    to crawl there."


    "Try it, then. I''m waiting for you!" Justin pursed his lips and smiled.


    Renee nced at the two grown men andined, "Hey, the both of you aren''t kids, you know.


    Look at Adie and Abby! They''re enjoying the game and not even making any noise."


    Both Adie and Abby were absorbed in the game. They squatted on the ground quietly, trying their best


    to avoid Xavier. Although Xavier was targeting Justin, they were afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.


    Xavier reached out towards Justin. His limbs were long given his tall height, and as he leaned forward


    with his arms outstretched, he almost touched Justin''s shoulders.


    The problem was that Leia was stuck between Xavier and Justin.


    The rule of the game was that people in the squares could move any body part except their legs. If they


    moved their legs, they would break the rules. They could avoid people by moving their bodies, as long


    as they didn''t move their legs.


    Xavier''s hands moved closer to Leia, who quickly leaned back to avoid him, cursing his name. He kept


    moving towards her despite there being plenty of space around him, and Leia tried her best to avoid


    getting caught by him, keeping her feet nted firmly all the while.


    Xavier started to get anxious, feeling embarrassed because he hadn''t caught his target.


    "I’m here. Be confident ande get me!" Justin called out cheekily from Leia''s direction.


    "I''ll get you, you pest!" Xavier quickly lurched forward and grabbed something. Excited, he yelled,


    "Yeah, I got you!"


    But... why had everything suddenly gone quiet?
