Chapter 3: Deathmatch and Mutation

All the laws of the previous world don't work here.

There is only one rule in this place: obedience.

I don't look over my head and don't look at Zhou Ling's eating appearance.

I picked up the cup on the tray, and in addition to the pale red water, there was also an eyeball, which sank quietly at the bottom of the cup.

I couldn't imagine myself being eaten by everyone, so I gritted my teeth, picked up the capsule and swallowed it, then took the water from the cup and swallowed it all in one gulp.

I could feel the sensation of the eyeball squeezing into my esophagus from my throat.

Just after I swallowed the capsule and the glass of water, the scoreboard on my right arm began to change, and the number on it went from zero at the beginning to eleven.

"How's it going, are you okay?"

Zhou Ling didn't know when she had finished her meal, leaned against the wall again, and slowly wiped the blood from her lips with her hands.

I sat on the ground, my back pressed against the wall, my head up, staring at the glare of the lights on the ceiling, and I didn't speak.

Zhou Ling sighed, "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't die this time, then your meals should be much more normal in the future, after all, compared to us, you already have a certain value to the Pope." ”

"However," Zhou Ling paused, and then said, "Even if we people really spent a hundred days eating this food and successfully saved enough points, it is estimated that it will be impossible to go back again." ”

"Why?"

"Do you think that the world of normal people will accept a person who has eaten people?"

Zhou Ling also followed my example, looking up at the ceiling, "Just after eating the first bite, it is estimated that it should be the only one who has lived here for the rest of his life, and if he mixes better, he may be able to get out of here, if he is not so good......" Zhou Ling raised her slender arm and gently stroked the transparent wall with her fingertips, "Lei Mu, in fact, death is not a particularly bad thing." ”

I can't answer Zhou Ling's question.

In this strange world, life itself may also be a kind of original sin.

……

About thirty minutes later, the Pope's voice began again.

"Dear diners," the voice came from the loudspeaker on the ceiling, "congratulations on how you have slowly adapted to life here. ”

There was silence in the hall, and after the lessons of the past few days, no one dared to agree and deny it.

God knows what you will say to annoy this moody pope?

The Pope paused, and then said, "I like the title of Pope very much, here, I am your Emperor, manage you, educate you, cough cough cough...... On the loudspeaker, the Pope coughed fiercely, "Okay, I won't say much about the rest, I think you should also know that today, it will be the first large-scale entertainment in our indoctrination field, so who will be the two lucky ones who will participate in the event, let me see ......"

"There you have it, the first one, the member of Seventy-Six!!"

In the room not far from my left, a middle-aged woman stood up in a daze, and the tray in her hand fell directly to the ground.

She stared blankly ahead.

After a while, several men dressed as mercenaries opened the room and carried the woman to the center of the hall.

"Then she will face the opponent of !!Lucky Fifty-Three!!"

I was stunned for a moment, why did this number sound so familiar, and immediately, several more mercenaries appeared and walked slowly towards my room.

Fifty-three!!!

My mind went blank in an instant, and I was Number 53!

I collapsed on the ground, and the moment I was carried away again, I suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhou Ling's mouth.

"Don't look at appearances!"

"OK! Let's give a round of applause to welcome the two warriors today!!" The Pope was the first to applaud on the other side of the loudspeaker, "As a gesture of friendship, I have decided to tell you a secret, among the three hundred of you, some of them are not actually here for the first time, on the contrary, they have undergone earth-shaking changes because of my potion, but human nature is originally greedy, and when you see the golden mountain, you will not be satisfied with the little money in your hands." ”

A couple of mercenaries threw me across from the middle-aged woman and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

I took a closer look at the opponent I was about to face.

Short hair, medium build, slightly fat, and a very friendly face, it is estimated that she is an ordinary housewife, cooking for her husband and children every day, and cleaning up the house.

But her expression was very stiff, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Suddenly, she looked up and saw that I was looking at her, and immediately took a few steps back and sat down on the ground with a look of horror on her face.

"Get ready, there are no referees in this fight, there are no rules, you can use any cold weapon, and there is only one condition for victory, which is to kill the opponent. ”

With the Pope's voice, several walls of the same transparent material slowly rose around me, enclosing me and the woman.

A small shelf rose on the wall behind her and me, on which were all sorts of killing tools, from small daggers the length of a palm to huge chainsaws that were more than half a man tall.

I watched her warily, slowly approaching my shelf, reaching for a Nepalese saber.

The middle-aged woman also stood up from the ground in a panic, leaning on the front of the shelf, looking at me with tears on her face, her lips moving slightly.

I read what she said, "Please, don't kill me." ”

"Ready, start !!"

Before I could react, the Pope shouted over the loudspeaker, "Within ten minutes, one of them must fall, or both participants will receive the same punishment." ”

The Pope's words directly crushed the last trace of luck in my heart.

There is no loss or win in this battle, only life or death.

I grabbed the saber, relentlessly, and slowly walked towards the woman.

"Please, don't kill me, please!!" The middle-aged woman knelt directly on the ground, tears gushing out of her eyes, kept kowtowing to me, and begged bitterly, "I still have two children at home!!My husband is gone early in the morning, they only have me as a mother, please, take my life, I will remember you, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!!"

I closed my eyes and shook my head vigorously.

I want to live, I can't die here!!

Suddenly, the moment I closed my eyes, an image appeared in my mind, the woman who had been kneeling on the ground stood up suddenly, and a dagger in her right hand stabbed me in the heart.

She stood next to my corpse, smiling all over her face, and gestured with her fingers in a V-triumphant pose.

I quickly opened my eyes, saying that it was too late, that it was too soon, and a silver light came at me at an extremely fast speed.

I remembered what Zhou Ling said to me before leaving.

Don't look at appearances!
