Text Chapter 1509 Killing Game
Lin Xiao suddenly felt that Zhao Yuanxiang in front of him was very humble, like a scholar.
As soon as he put away the cunning and slippery of the past, he looked calm, he held the cup and talked to Lin Xiao eloquently: "I can see that you are also a person with a story, when people first step into this society, they always think about what they lack, and use various methods to fight for and ask for it." When you have what you want, and even more, there is a responsibility to do things not only for yourself, but for others, for those who depend on you, to do what you want to do and what you don't want to do. People in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, in fact, they are all their own choices. ”
Everyone's destiny is the result of their own choices, and the result of the symbiotic interaction between mind and environment. If your heart is right, you will meet the right person, go the right way, do the right thing, and your mood will be smoother; if your heart is wrong, you will meet the wrong person at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and your mood will be full of obstacles.
But the two will also transform into each other, and if the wind is smooth, it will give rise to arrogance, complacency, disgust, and greed, causing demons to disturb the state of mind. After a long time in adversity, hard work, hard work, hungry body and skin, and chaotic behavior, you can be moved to endure. The so-called "demon" is "grinding", and anyone you meet is here to help you, some help you succeed, and some teach you to be a man.
Whether the encounter is right or wrong, the encounter is fate. The environment is born from the heart, and the heart can be transformed. A person, a thing, there is no right or wrong, it just depends on how your heart is. In life, the most important thing is to be able to keep your heart, be calm when you encounter things, speak fairly, be a pure heart, and act with a fair heart.
The two talked happily with each other, and when the plane landed, they were already old friends who hit it off at first sight and hated to see each other late. Zhao Yuanxiang still laughed, but it was definitely not pretended.
After getting off the plane, Zhao Yuanxiang made a phone call, and soon the car came, and Zhao Yuanxiang got in the car and said, "Go to the Central Park Scarleton Hotel." ”
When he arrived at the hotel and arranged Lin Xiao, Zhao Yuanxiang went out, leaving two bodyguards to protect Lin Xiao, the two stood outside the door, not leaving an inch, Lin Xiao also saw that where this is protection, it is clearly a guard. He figured he couldn't go anywhere anyway, so he stayed in his room and poured a glass of wine and admired Central Park in the distance.
Known as New York's "back garden", Central Park is not only a leisure place for New Yorkers, but also a popular tourist destination for tourists from all over the world. After journalist William Bryant's campaign to build the park in the New York Post in 1850, the park was built in 1856 by two landscape architects, Frederick La Olmsted and Calbert Vaux. Nestled in the middle of skyscrapers in Manhattan, Central Park is the largest urban park in New York and the first to be built entirely with landscape architecture in mind.
Central Park is a completely man-made natural landscape that can often be seen in movies and TV series, such as the movie "Love Story". The park is beautiful in all seasons, with bright green in spring, bright sunshine in summer, red maple in autumn, and silver and white in winter.
Central Park was not originally part of the 1811 New York City Plan, but between 1821 and 1855, the city's population quadrupled, and as the city expanded, many people were drawn to more open spaces (mainly cemeteries) to escape the noise and chaos of city life. Soon after, William Karen Bryant, editor and poet of EveningPost (i.e., the New York Post), said that New York needed a large park.
In 1844, Downing, the first landscape architect in the United States, also worked to promote the need for a park in New York City. Many influential New Yorkers also felt the need for a place where they could drive in the open air, like the Bloom Forest in Paris and Hyde Park in London. In 1853, the New York State Legislature designated 7,000 acres (2.8 square kilometers) from 59th Street to 106th Street as a site for the park.
The park was built in 1873 and lasted 15 years, and in 1851 the New York State Legislature passed the Parks Act, which promoted the development of New York City's Central Park, providing a leisurely place for people to live busy and stressful lives. Central Park is the largest park on the island of Manhattan. It covers an area of 340 hectares, occupies 150 blocks, has a total length of 93 kilometers of walking paths, 9,000 benches and 6,000 trees.
The park is equipped with light green acres of grassland, a small forest with lush trees, a courtyard, an ice rink, a carousel, an amphitheater, two small zoos, a lake where you can raft on the water, tennis courts, sports fields, art galleries and so on.
With a wide range of activities, from regular softball games to concerts on festivals, the park provides a much-needed retreat and a tranquil spiritual home for residents and visitors alike.
In the evening, Zhao Yuanxiang came back, and he brought Lin Xiao the arrangements for tomorrow's game.
Tomorrow's game, to be precise, is a live-action version of a CS game. In the first preliminary round, a total of 10 players were selected from each of the east and west regions, and a total of 20 players participated in tomorrow's game. The venue is on one of the islands of Qiandao Lake on the border between the United States and Canada, and the organizers have arranged in advance for 20 armed men to ambush on the island, they are equipped with guns, knives, arrows and other lethal weapons.
This game is life-threatening, the contestants must sign a life and death pact in advance, they can kill the enemies they encounter, and if they are killed, they will not be held accountable, and the gang will be responsible for compensation, and the organizer has nothing to do with it.
Zhao Yuanxiang said and took out a piece of paper, which was signed by the entrusting party and himself, and the entrusting party Zhao Yuanxiang had already signed it, he put the treaty in front of Lin Xiao, looked at him, and said softly: "I didn't expect the game to become a killing game, it's the same as going to the battlefield." You have the freedom to choose, to go or not to go, to make your own decisions. Lin Xiao knew that he didn't mean it, he wanted to participate in this game by himself, not for anything else, just to satisfy his curiosity, he would think the same.
It's not that Lin Xiao hasn't done anything to take people's lives, but it was a choice that had to be made at the moment of life and death, even so, when dealing with Guo Qingfeng, he still mercifully chose to only let him lose the ability to harm others, and did not take his life. He was not a murderous person, but how should he choose this matter now? Agreeing to sign means that he will face a life-and-death decision, which will inevitably hurt people's lives. In San Francisco, far away from New York, he still designed to restrict his freedom, and now he has taken the initiative to run to the center of his power, but he is afraid that even Zhao Yuanxiang will not be able to protect himself.
