Chapter 84: It Is Human Nature That Kills Them (2)
The young man stood on the platform, took a few deep breaths, tried to calm himself, and then, with his eyes narrowed, he began to make his choice.
One meter away, people throw throwing knives at themselves, and if they want to avoid death as much as possible, they can only find those who are weak.
Soon, he fixed his gaze on an old man in his sixties.
The young man stretched out his hand and pointed at him, and said, "I choose him." β
Before the old man could react, a waiter had already brought a plate with various styles of throwing knives on it.
"The other party is just an old man, alas, you are really unscrupulous in order to survive, so okay, I will modify the rules just now, from the death must be stopped to the old man within six knives, unable to end the life of the person on the stage, judged as a failure, and the punishment is not extreme, just go to the stage and be a second gamer. β
Li Gengxin said calmly, and at the same time, he raised his head and looked at the young man.
"And you, if you don't die within six knives, even if you win the game, you won't be involved again, and in addition, you have a victory condition to choose from. β
"That's six people later, and you're still alive, and you're winning. β
"If you die, the verdict fails, and as for the punishment, I won't inflict it on a dead person, so you can rest assured. β
Li Gengxin cleared his throat and continued.
"The choice is up to you. β
β¦β¦
The old man's body trembled with nervousness, he trembled his hands, picked out a throwing knife, looked up, and stared at the young man with hatred.
Why should you choose me?
Is it because I'm older?
You want to live, so do you!
The more the old man thought about it, the more angry he became, and finally, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, threw out the flying knife suddenly, and ran towards the young man!
Sou!
The young man watched the flying knife coming towards him, but he didn't dare to dodge, because he understood that if he didn't hide, he would have a chance to live, and if he hid, he would definitely die.
Poof!
At this distance, there is no need to put any planks, tables, etc., behind the people on the stage, because 99% of the throwing knives can be thrown at people.
No, even the old man stabbed the knife into the young man's left shoulder.
However, because the strength was too small, it only pierced very shallowly, and after rubbing it, it fell to the ground.
"Ahh
The young man let out a miserable wail, and immediately covered the wound with his right hand, and the blood stained the piece of clothes and his palm in an instant.
The sharp pain made the young man suddenly angry, and he grabbed the throwing knife that fell to the ground and threw it at the old man!
The old man didn't have time to dodge, and the flying knife stabbed directly into his chest, and his whole body took a few steps back because of the impact of the force.
The people next to him gave him his place one after another.
Eventually, the old man fell to the ground, but the knife did not hurt his vital parts, and he slowly pulled it out and gasped for air.
"It's not over yet, and if you don't help with it, it's hard for me to guarantee that I'll make any crazy moves. β
Li Gengxin said in a cold tone.
The rich men standing next to the old man looked at each other, and after a moment of hesitation, they almost unanimously did something inhumane!
Originally, the old man in the twilight was bleeding from his chest and dying, which was already very pitiful.
But these people didn't look at it at all!
They clamped the old man and ignored his injuries, his despair, his emaciation, his helplessness, everything about him!
And just like that, they carried the old man to within a meter of the stage.
At this moment, it is very difficult for the old man to even stand.
But...
It doesn't matter.
These people who look dignified and have extremely high quality on weekdays.
They also showed the 'helpful' side, they clamped the old man on the left and right, the wound was tossed bigger, the blood flowed endlessly, and none of them wanted to treat it, not only that, they also put the flying knife in the old man's hand.
However, the old man was dying, and he could not hold the knife.
No matter how hard he tries, he can't hold it!
Of course, this does not bother our noble, intelligent upper class.
They grabbed the old man's hand, then held the throwing knife, and then threw it towards the stage, but naturally fell to the ground before reaching the edge of the stage.
The old man's eyes were full of despair and compassion, he longed for someone to help him, and he preached in an almost pleading tone.
"Please..."
"Help me... Don't let me keep playing..."
"I abstain... I'm next... Don't hurt that person... Please..."
This plea is so pale.
Instead of helping, they sneered at him.
"You old immortal thing, don't bother us if you don't want to live, hurry up and continue the game!"
"Please? Who the fuck are we begging to go? It's blame that you don't practice throwing knives on weekdays, and if you stab that person to death at once, you won't have to suffer such a crime. β
"People like you hurry up and finish the game, whether you live or die, it's a relief. β
β¦β¦
Someone picked up the throwing knife from the ground, ran over and handed it to the young man.
The young man touched the blade of the knife, and he was very happy in his heart, judging from the current situation, the old man could no longer pose any threat to himself.
There are five more people, and he can be liberated.
"Five, the last five. β
"I'll be safe with this damn meeting, old man, and you'll blame me. β
"If I don't kill you, you'll kill me, and after that, I'll give your family some financial compensation!"
The young man threw the knife at the old man with a fierce force.
Poof.
The young man stabbed the knife into the old man's chest, this time, it was obviously pierced to the vital part, the old man's brow suddenly furrowed, and then, he opened his mouth and vomited blood.
In just a dozen seconds, the old man's face was so pale that there was no blood, and his lips were even purple, he suddenly rolled his eyes, straightened his body hard, and after convulsing for a few seconds, his head tilted, and he was completely lifeless.
Several people beside him sniffed tentatively, and after confirming death, they threw themselves at the back of the crowd, as if it were not a person who had died, but an insignificant dog, or even a bug.
The game goes on.
After the young man tasted the sweetness of this time, he targeted a child again.
"This time, I chose him. β
The child looked like he was only five or six years old, and he was looking at his uncle on the stage with innocent, innocent eyes, and just now, he asked his mother, why did the uncle kill that grandfather?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, he was also involved!
"I'm coming, don't hurt my kids!"
A woman came forward, she brought her son this time, just to let him see the world.
When he heard that his son had been chosen, he immediately stood in front of him.
She is willing to exchange her life for her son's life.
But... The upper-class people around her, even this opportunity, are so stingy that they don't want to give it to him!
Fearing that this would be a way to 'interfere with the normal progress of the game', several people immediately came over and forcibly pulled the woman away, and the woman stretched out her hand to her son, crying and shouting.
"Let go of me... Don't hurt my child, don't hurt him! You devils! You are the devils! Run..."
The woman was finally pulled to the back of the crowd, and someone brought the blood-stained 'throwing knife' to the child.
The child looked at the 'flying knife' suspiciously and asked, "Uncle, why are you giving me this?"
The person next to him explained.
"Grab it and throw it at the guy on stage. β
The child looked at the young man in the stands and shook his head without hesitation: "In that case, it will hurt the uncle on the stage." β
In the face of the most sincere kindness of the child, these people were not touched in any way.
"If you lose it, you lose it, less fucking bullshit. β
"Yes, you kid, just do it quickly, I'll have to suffer with you if it's too late!"
"Grab him by the hand and throw him out. β
Someone had already walked towards him, and eventually, the kid threw the 'throwing knife' at the stage without knowing what was going on.
The result was naturally not lost, and the young man on the stage was unharmed.
For the child's care, not only did he not have the slightest gratitude, but he was also glad that he had found a weak person again and carried another round.
He picked up the throwing knife and looked at the child indifferently.
"That's just four people!"
Sou.
He threw out the throwing knife without hesitation, and the child wanted to dodge, but was pressed in place by those people, and could only watch the flying knife come towards him.
β¦β¦
In the live broadcast room, those who watched the live broadcast with excitement and kept brushing the 'barrage' have begun to be partially silent.
They didn't expect that this game would be so dark, desperate, and oppressive.
The old man's plea before he died, the kindness of the child, and the heartache of the mother were all deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience, like a shadow, lingering.
Is it exciting?
Is it fun?
Isn't it exciting?
It's obviously cruel!
It's apathy!
It's sarcasm!
"I'm a little... I can't stand it anymore... I don't know what's next... What more heart-wrenching things will happen..."
"He was just a child, until he was involved, he still maintained the kindness in his heart, but what did the world give back to him?"
"The person on this stage, why didn't he die earlier? Every time he chooses the person, he is so pitiful, why doesn't he choose a person who is about the same level of physical strength as himself to have a fair survival competition?"
"What do you say? It's not because of Li Gengxin? If he hadn't set these rules of the game, how could this heart-wrenching scene have happened?"
"That's right! In the final analysis, no one is to blame, blame Li Gengxin!"
"He is indeed a devil, who has brought pain, despair, darkness, depression, and death to every corner of his place, and he should have been cut by a thousand cuts. β
Li Gengxin looked at the barrage floating in the live broadcast room, his heart was like water, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a subtle smile, and after that, he immediately returned to calm.
Li Gengxin took a deep breath and looked at the crowd that was already close to madness.
"Don't worry. β
"Soon, I will show you what the real devil is. β
(My mood is still relatively heavy when I write these chapters, those helpless, frightened, and sympathetic eyes, expressions, seem to be right in front of me, this series is expected to be divided into seven or eight chapters, this party, will be a feast of death!)
