Chapter 33: Psychological Warfare
Then a second performer came in.
This time it's a butcher with a kitchen knife in his hand.
As soon as he got on the field, he bowed deeply to the crowd.
"The show begins. The host said.
When the butcher heard this, he waved his hand, and the neatly tied people were pushed out from behind the red curtain, and they looked at the butcher in horror.
Immediately after that, the butcher began to perform his own artistic performance.
......
When it was over, I looked at the ground as it was torn apart...... I almost couldn't help but throw up.
And the butcher wiped the blood from his face with a satisfied face, looking forward to the referee on the viewing platform to score.
"Judges, please, start scoring. The host took out a handkerchief and covered his nose, the smell of blood was too great.
I looked at the various observation stations, and some of the people had already shown their scores.
I took a look.
Two of them scored 7.8 and 7.5.
At a glance I was sure of the score.
Then a 7.6 score was written on the sign.
So that no matter what, I won't die.
The gameplay of this game is actually very simple, that is, don't be the first to show your brand.
In this way, as long as you can know the two rating numbers at the last moment of holding up the sign. Then write the number in the middle of them, then there will be no death.
Soon everyone's ratings came out again.
The highest score was 8.9, the lowest score was 7.4, and the average score was 8.2.
After seeing the score, the butcher nodded in satisfaction, obviously satisfied with the score.
However, he still picked up a chainsaw from the side and walked into the red curtain.
Immediately after that, the door of an observation deck was kicked open, and it was the man with the lowest score of 7.4.
This was followed by the sound of chainsaws and a cacophony of noises.
The man was out of breath, and the room was full of entrails.
Then the butcher went to the house of the man with the highest score.
Tied him to a shelf and took him away.
The second show ended, and then the third show began.
It's just a show one by one.
Batch after batch of people are constantly dying or being taken away, and many times the same minimum or maximum score occurs.
Gradually, there were only 11 people left in the stands, including me.
The rest of the people at the moment are people with thoughts.
They think the same way as me, and they also know that they can't miss the rating on the sign first.
"What should I do?" I started to get stuck because there were no more scores to refer to.
Then it's a bet on luck, and everyone is guessing how many points to score.
I began to think carefully in my head.
Wait! I seem to have overlooked something, and I suddenly thought of the key to the next scoring.
That is, people are afraid of death.
When I thought about writing a score, the first score I had in mind was an eight.
This score is the safest score in my heart.
Even if something happens, it's not the lowest score.
In this case, it will be the highest score at most.
It will not be killed directly in the viewing platform, but taken away, at least there is a chance to survive.
If it is not a mortal game, then no one wants to die first.
So is there a possibility that all people now think this way, and it will be higher at the moment?
Everyone has seen the scoring results of the previous games.
That is the low score, and was directly killed by the performer in the viewing platform.
Although the life and death of the high-scoring people are unknown, they are not directly killed.
If a person is asked to choose to die or a path that they don't know if they will die, most people will choose the latter.
Because at least there's a chance to live.
If everyone thinks this way, then the score will be higher this time.
The next show begins.
I thought about it for a while and put a pen on it with 8.1.
I'm betting that one of these eleven people will write an eight.
This off-stage performance is a clown.
He finished the show in no time.
Then it's time for grading.
When the host read out the scores, I was extremely nervous.
"Take out a maximum score of 8.3 points, remove a minimum score...... 8.0 points!"
I was relieved to hear the 8.0 score.
Looks like I guessed right.
This time, everyone's scores are generally higher.
"The average score is 8.2. The host announced.
Then he continued. "What I didn't expect was that there were as many as eight of the lowest scores this time!"
"There were eight of them. "Even I was taken aback, if I said this, if I was to remove the highest score, wouldn't it be that there were only two people left, including me!
Isn't this game coming to an end?
