A desolate highway runs between the mountains, a road that was built forty years ago. Now the 170-kilometre road has only four villages and less than 50 households.

The black sedan slowly pulled up to the steps of the temple entrance. Yun Yin got out of the car, and everything around was pitch black except for the light shining from the headlights of the car.

Yun Yin complained: "After driving for more than an hour, there is not even a rendezvous car. ”

Cao Yun looked at the environment, and he really didn't dare to come alone. The headlights went out late, and the two were completely plunged into darkness, at which point they began to discuss the question: "Do you bring lighting?"

The two looked at each other, experience! novice-level mistakes.

Yun Yin asked, "Let's go with the phone." ”

Fortunately, the mobile phone has a flashlight function, and the light is not weak, so the two borrowed the light to go up the steps. It was very quiet along the way, and I couldn't hear a sound.

"Grass!" Yun Yin first arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, and was startled at this look, and almost rolled down the steps. With Yunyin's warning, Cao Yun had enough psychological preparation, but when he saw the situation in the gazebo, he was still startled.

Seven people dressed in white robes, separated by three meters from each other, sat motionless on the ground against the stone wall. Cao Yun cautiously approached two meters and then retreated. My mother, this is paper clothes. The mask on the face is also cut out of paper, leaving only a pair of eyes and a mouth. They weren't tied, and there was no one nearby, they just sat there, motionless, no one spoke.

"What the hell?" Yun Yin stood beside Cao Yun and looked at the seven people. He didn't really want to get close to the seven paper-clad men.

Cao Yun shook his head: "I guess they have entered the game, but I don't know what it is." Do you hold your pee?"

There should be laughter at this time.

A man appeared on the steps above, and he threw down a light stick at Cao Yun's feet. Cao Yun looked up at him, he was wearing a black robe and a faceless male mask.

The faceless man said: "You're right, they're playing, but it's not holding their pee." Do you see a piece of pork in front of them? There are a lot of rats in this mountain, and whoever gets the first to get their meat taken by the rats will be the winner, and they will get a gold medal for avoiding death, and they don't have to participate in the next round of the game. On the contrary, at sunrise, all those who still have flesh in front of them will die. They were all injected with poison before the winner could get the serum.

As he spoke, a mouse burst out of the shadows, picked up a piece of pork and ran away. Paper Clothes Nameplate No. 4 stood up, and his leg was weak and almost fell. Two white-robed faceless men came down the steps, one tied Four's hands behind his back, and the other opened the box, took out a syringe, and injected liquid into Four's arm. Number Four was taken away as a winner.

The black-robed faceless man continued: "Now that the champion has been produced, the next game is to upgrade. Rats don't like bright lights, so each of you must light a candle. The candle is extinguished before it burns out as a loser and will be eliminated. ”

The two white-robed faceless men distributed candles and lit them in order, during which the six of them were silent and cooperated with them, as if they had given up.

Although it is halfway up the mountain, it is not very windy because it is surrounded by stairs on three sides. It is more difficult to let the mountain wind blow out the candle actively. At the same time, the contestants also have to block the light of the candles so as not to scare the rats who may come out to steal meat.

The black-robed faceless man said: "Let me remind you, you are wearing paper clothes, oil-paper clothes, which are very flammable clothes. If you ask if there is anything wrong with the paper clothes when they are set on fire? Will they be burned to death? I'm sorry, I don't know, and I don't have an answer, I hope you can give me an answer. Cao Yun, Yun Yin, came up to speak. ”

The location of the seven people is a three-sided circular platform, and the gazebo is still more than ten meters high. This platform is called the Drinking Fountain, and there is a natural mountain spring for the guests who visit the temple.

Cao Yun went up the side steps and quickly arrived at the pavilion. The black-robed faceless man sat in the pavilion and motioned for Cao Yun and Yun Yin to sit opposite him: "I'm just going to go cross, and I've admired Lawyer Cao's name for a long time." ”

Yun Yin asked, "Don't you dare to see people?"

The faceless man laughed: "No, I don't think you have the courage to see me for what I am." ”

Yun Yin wanted to say more, but Cao Yun spoke first: "I want to ask a few questions first, why do you think there are no police following us?"

He replied, "Like the mountain wind, the flowing springs, and the birds that fly, they are all regular." The police have the same rules, they just don't know it. I ask you, is the three-legged cat survivor game a big deal?"

"Of course it's a big case. ”

He asked again: "Li Mo, the section leader of the first search section, and Li Long, the chief of the Dongtang Police Department, will they particularly care about and take care of this case?"

"Yes. ”

"So as long as I keep an eye on them, I know if the police are moving." ”

"What if?"

Walk-Fork laughed: "What if? How can you be sure that the seven people are members of the three-legged cat team? How can you be sure that I am Walk-Fork? I just said that the law is that the police do things, and they have rules and regulations and restrictions. That means they can't win the game I've set. For example, if a police officer comes home from work, he meets a woman on the way who shouts for help, and when he sees her being dragged into an alley, he will definitely follow up. Lawyer Cao, you are different, if you encounter this incident, you will call the police, you will call a few passers-by to help, and it is basically unlikely that you will venture into the alley alone. ”

"When you understand what everyone thinks and does, and how they think, you can easily get enough information from your opponents." ”

Cao Yundao: "This is just a theory, and the actual operation is not so simple. ”

"That's right, so I'm thinking about the police group. I'm pretty sure the police won't be coming today. "The main reason is that the risk is too high, even if the assault is successful, there are still seven hostages in my hands." They want you to talk and peacefully free the hostages first. This is a typical fluke mentality that everyone has. ”

Cross: "Besides, although we are opponents, the police don't know me. The police also have a rule, they rarely act like gamblers without collecting certain information. This thing is called responsibility, Li Mo made a decision, the raid was successful, OK, he became a hero. And if it fails, he has to be responsible. Li Mo and Li Long don't know me, they have the courage to make decisions, but they don't have the confidence to make decisions.

Fork: "The above information indicates that the police will definitely not come tonight." But if we fail to negotiate and there is another opportunity like this, they will not let it go. Now that I've figured this out, the next operation will inevitably fail. ”

"Interesting. Cao Yun said: "You are not a liar, you are a politician." ”

"Hehe, what's the difference between them?"

Cao Yun said: "Let's start, what conditions do you have?"

"One million dollars per person, but there are provisoas, only one million per day." That is, I kill one person every day and release one person. The second condition is that it is not up to the police to decide who to let go, and they will draw lots by themselves. ”

Cao Yun asked rhetorically, "Is this game really interesting? ”

Fork: "What could be more interesting to see them entangled in various mentalities of contradictions and luck for the sake of their own lives?"

Cao Yun said: "Go fork, don't fool around, I know you don't care about whether you want to kill them or not." ”

"What else do you know?"

Cao Yundao: "Yunyin, you go down and watch, I'll talk to the fork privately." ”

"Oh. Yun Yin had doubts, but he still left the pavilion and walked down the steps to the drinking spring platform.

Cao Yun stood up, walked to the fork, and immediately heard the sound of a bullet loading in the bushes by the pavilion, and waved his hand: "It's okay, Lawyer Cao has something to say and chat with me privately, you withdraw ten meters away first." ”

The trees heard the sound of Suo Suo from near and far, and disappeared.

Cao Yun lowered his voice: "Go fork, you are willing to talk to me, mainly because I have a neutral attitude and will not cheat you for the sake of the police." At the same time, I won't cheat the police for you. ”

Cross: "This is where you stand. Looking at Yun Yin out of the corner of his eyes, a black shadow quietly appeared behind Yun Yin, and the black shadow gently pulled out his dagger.

Cao Yun didn't notice anything abnormal, and said: "The first point is that the three-legged cat team received a security code that the CA senior management may not know and went to a closed kindergarten. Second, meat is not all raw. The third point is that the idea of burning clothes is really good. ”

Walk the fork pondered for a moment: "Either Lawyer Cao are too smart, or am I too stupid?"

Cao Yun said: "Since you can't let people go, I'll ask for a favor and let them go." ”

Fork: "I mean, I don't quite understand what you're saying. ”

Cao Yun: "If you're going to fork the road, you'll understand. ”

Fork: "I'm fork, I don't understand. ”

Cao Yun sighed lightly: "Why do you have to say it?"

"It's better to say it. ”

"Okay. Cao Yun shook his head helplessly and said: "No. 4 is your spy, with his help, you control every move of the three-legged cat, so that you can calmly kill people and plant stolen goods." After getting the help of the shadow, you give the police a good look and capture all ten members of the three-legged cat. However, if there is the help of a spy among them, your prestige will be greatly diminished. You are always a magician, not a magician. ”

Cao Yun: "As a neutral clan, I don't know anything tonight. I want you to let them go. ”

Cross: "What if I don't let it go?"

Cao Yun: "I don't have any way. ”

Walked close to Cao Yun: "How do you know that No. 4 is not a spy that I deliberately arranged to make you suspicious?"

Cao Yun: "No, No. 4 must be a spy." Because I'm neutral. Whether you like it or not, I'll just tell the police what I saw happening. And will not tell the police what I speculated, inferred. ”

He looked at Cao Yun for a while, stood up, and walked to the pavilion to look at the Big Dipper: "How do I feel that you are not a lawyer, who are you?"

"Why do you say that?"

"You know you're taking a risk, and I'm likely to kill you." This kind of behavior is not in line with Cao Yun's character. You seem to be a face that treats money as your life, but now you are risking being killed by me in order to save a few people who have had a holiday with you. ”

Cao Yun said: "No, don't take risks. Since you told me through Sonny to keep me safe, then I must be safe. I know that. However, you are right, I am willing to take some risks to save seven people. If I were a unique, irreplaceable savior, I would not shirk this responsibility. ”

He turned to look at Cao Yun, walked in front of Cao Yun, sat down, and looked at Cao Yun quietly for a while: "You answer me honestly a question, I let them all go." If you don't answer my question honestly, I'll have three lives. The three fortunes are your reward. ”

Cao Yun: "I refuse to answer any questions. ”

Fork: "I haven't asked yet." ”

Cao Yun said: "But my intuition tells me that I can't answer this question. ”

Fork: "You were great just now, and you were willing to take risks to save people, but now you are not willing to answer a question in order to save people." ”

Cao Yun replied: "I am willing to take risks to save people, but I am not willing to sacrifice myself to save others." The fact that you take this question so seriously means that I will never be able to answer it. ”

Cross: "Okay, you can pick three people to follow you now." ”

Cao Yun: "I refuse to answer any questions, and I have not answered your questions dishonestly. ”

He thought for a long time: "Okay." I can put them, but I have no reason to let them go. ”

Cao Yun said: "The CA said that if you are willing to release people, they will abolish the three-legged cat plan. At the same time, it promised not to track down hyenas in an official form. ”

"I don't care. "Do you think a person like me cares who the opponent is? My life is to burn myself and look for the most gorgeous moment." This is my understanding of the meaning of life, since it is a negotiation, since you are a smart person, I hope you have the leverage I want. ”

Cao Yun pondered for a long time: "Is the Flame Five Judge Structure a bargaining chip?"

Walk the fork and savor it for a while: "It's hard to say." ”

Cao Yun said: "The original third judge of Flame, the last five judges, and the two new judges are Kaizi. It's okay to pay to watch the excitement, and if you have something to do, you'll be pulled out to make up for the crime. It is unclear whether one of the three judges is a wealthy man, one is a judicial officer, or whether one is a member of the law. ”

He thought for a while: "It's a little interesting, it's worth two lives." ”

Cao Yun said: "Uncertain information, the flame attendants are twins. ”

Cross: "Oh?"

Cao Yun: "Yes." ”

Cross: "Not sure?"

Cao Yun: "Not sure. ”

Cross: "Add a life." Anything else?"

Cao Yun stared at the fork for a long time: "You are stupid X." ”

Fork: "Lawyer Cao, it's not right to scold people." ”

Cao Yun: "I'm telling the truth. You take off the mask, if it's not stupid X, the front information is in vain. ”

Fork: "Haha, after seeing my true face, do you think you can still live?"

Cao Yun replied firmly: "Yes." ”

Cross: "...... But I don't want to kill you, I promised. ”

Cao Yun: "You better kill me." ”

Fork: "No, I'm going to keep my promise." ”

Cao Yun: "I can sign and beg for death." ”

Cross: "I won't kill." ”

Cao Yun: "If you have a kind, you will take off the mask." ”

Cross: "Don't take it." ”

Cao Yun: "Then do you admit that you are stupid?" "Damn Sonny, he actually wanted to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf in front of me.

He took out his mobile phone: "I'll answer the phone first." ”

The details of life can be seen in the person. has taste, the color of the mobile phone brand is the same as his own, and the hero sees it the same.

Walkfork stood up and walked to the side: "Hey...... Oh...... Grace ......"

Cao Yun watched the light of the candles that walked away from the pavilion, and the sound slowly grew from near to far, and then disappeared.

Kindness?

I've never seen such a shameless person.

Cao Yun looked around, and the white-robed faceless man and the others who were originally in the dark didn't know when they disappeared. Cao Yun took the candle and went down the steps, and there was only one person left on the drinking spring platform, and that was Yun Yin. Yun Yin was sealed with tape, his hands and feet were tied with tape, and he looked at Cao Yun sadly.

Cao Yun tore off the Yunyin sealing tape, and Yunyin: "Call Li Mo immediately, don't act." ”

"What the hell?" "Where's my phone?"

Yun Yin: "I, I, I sold you." ”

"Sell me, sell to whom?"

"Police. ”
