Chapter 39: Battle Royale Carnival
"Not long ago, a video of a live gladiatorial fight began to appear on social media, although the major social platforms deleted these cruel pictures at the first time, but there are still many people through this video to know an underground website called the gladiatorial arena......
"In order to confirm the authenticity of this footage, we specially invited the FBI's image identification experts today to verify the authenticity of this video for us on the spot......
"Hello Dr. Dweck, could you please ask which of the videos that appeared on social media not long ago are real?"
As the host asked questions to the guests at the scene, the camera feed began to switch to Dweck's face. Dweck thought for a moment, then began to make his point.
Regarding this issue, in fact, when these videos began to appear on social media, the FBI had already begun to pay attention to the gladiatorial arena incident. However, since I have not watched the video in its entirety so far, I can't make my own judgment on the authenticity of the whole incident. However, I've seen some of the videos on the Internet and social media, and I've studied some of them, and if I had to say, I haven't found any clips or post-processing on these leaked videos......"
"So, Doctor, you mean these videos are real, right?"
"Although this question is still to be confirmed, it is true that there are no traces of any processing in the videos I have seen. So, all I can say is that from the videos I've seen, I think the images recorded on the videos are real......"
"Oh, Doctor, it's unbelievable that such a cruel thing is actually happening......"
"Oh, these images are actually okay, I've been working at the FBI for so many years, I've seen more and more brutal things......"
Lin Xiuyi and Sean sat in front of the TV together, watching Dweck admit the authenticity of the video leaked from the gladiatorial arena on behalf of the FBI, and both of them couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"The F.B.I. experts really don't blink when they trick people! Why can't I see that Dr. Dweck is lying?"
Lin Xiuyi pointed to Dweck's serious appearance on TV, and joked with Sean about the FBI's chief image identification expert.
"Actually, I think what he said is true, in fact, I only showed him a little bit of the previous clips, which were not made with any special treatment...... Only an informed person like me understands that everything old Dweck said is true, and that this old fox is a true lie even if he lies for us......"
Sean patiently explained to Lin Xiuyi, and as soon as Lin Xiuyi heard the truth hidden behind Sean's words, he immediately felt even more that Dr. Dweck was a chicken thief who testified on TV.
"This time, even the FBI has come forward to confirm the authenticity of the gladiatorial arena, and we can be regarded as making our own name on the dark web, I think...... We can also continue with the following plans!"
Hearing Lin Xiu mention the new plan, Sean immediately turned his head and said with a comprehension expression:
"You mean, we can start building momentum on the Black Death website for the upcoming Battle Royale Carnival project, right?"
"Yes, this time we are going to disguise ourselves as a big customer and find out what the details of the Black Death were!"
The Battle Royale Carnival plan mentioned by Lin Xiuyi and Sean, as the name suggests, is to exile a group of people into a closed space and let everyone kill each other, and only the last person alive will be the final winner. The idea came from the well-known Japanese film of the same name.
Since there is going to be a battle royale-style game, the number of gladiators needed will naturally not be small, according to Lin Xiuyi's assumption, the gladiator website advertises that the number of gladiators participating in this event is 100, and the location is not announced to the public. To watch the tournament, each user will need to pay 0.3 bitcoins to the gladiator website.
With the announcement of the Battle Royale Carnival plan on the Colosseum website, related discussion threads have appeared on the Table.com and the Dark Web from time to time. However, compared to the ban on this related topic by relevant social networking sites on the Internet, the discussion on the dark web is much freer. Even on the website of the Black Death, the account of Nero registered by Lin Xiuyi would receive messages from other members of the Black Death from time to time. Many people are concerned about when the battle royale plan of the gladiatorial arena will start.
And Lin Xiuyi used the name Nero to release the news on the Black Death, saying that it would take about a month to prepare, mainly to select gladiators to participate in this battle royale carnival. At the same time, it is hoped that the slave owners on the Black Death can sell their slaves to the gladiatorial arena at a suitable price. As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted many members of the Black Death organization to come to consult. After all, the basic price of slaves sold on the Black Death is between 10~150,000 US dollars, and if someone wants to organize a 100-level slave fight, then the money spent on slaves alone is as high as 10 million to 15 million US dollars. That's a lot of business!
I don't know if it's because of the appeal of the battle royale carnival gimmick itself, or because the more than $10 million purchase plan has aroused great interest among the members of the Black Death. As more and more users followed, Lin Xiuyi's post on the news also began to attract the attention of the official Black Death administrators. Without consulting Lin Xiuyi, they directly put the discussion initiated by Lin Xiuyi in the most conspicuous position on the website. As a result, many users directly saw the official statement issued by Nero on behalf of the Colosseum as soon as they logged in.
"Sir, a lot of people are starting to leave us messages, asking how many slaves we really need. And how much we're willing to pay!"
Sean's subordinates stared at the latest news from the Black Death in real time, and then came over from time to time to report the latest situation to Sean. In fact, Sean was also a little strange, he wanted to know what Lin Xiuyi planned next.
"Have you ever been approached by anyone claiming to be an official of the Black Death......?"
"Not yet, sir! There are even those who are willing to kidnap specific targets at our behest. Shall we continue to ignore it like this?"
Sean's subordinate asked with some embarrassment.
"Yes, we just have to keep waiting......"
Lin Xiu said confidently.
