Chapter 764: The Game of Life and Death

And at the same time that Yanjing and Heilongya were releasing the prisoners, there was also new movement in the banquet hall of the Meisden Hotel in Canglan City. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

As the minutes passed, the guests in the banquet hall were anxiously waiting for the good news to come, hoping that the government would release them as soon as possible.

But after more than half an hour, there was no movement outside, and the police did not communicate with the people inside, and the whole world seemed to be still.

Only Han Jing, the executioner, and their group were very calm, sitting at the top of the rostrum and monitoring everyone.

Ye Tian and Yin Ruo sat closest to the rostrum, the two of them are also one of the hostages now, but they are relatively special hostages, because the two of them have no handle in the hands of the "New World", so they don't have to worry about being the target of execution, compared with other hostages, the two of them can be regarded as sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Originally, Ye Tian had a stomach full of questions that he wanted to ask, but seeing the executioner's majestic and solemn expression, coupled with the tense and delicate atmosphere, he felt that it was not easy to ask questions at this time, and he could only silently watch how things developed.

There were only twenty minutes left before the first hour, and there was still no news from outside, and the guests began to panic, and in another twenty minutes, if the government did not release them, the first hostage would be executed!

The people began to talk quietly, but they spoke quietly, for fear of being heard by the executioners.

But the executioner still noticed that people were talking in private, and when he coughed, everyone shuddered, stopped talking, and looked at him nervously.

The executioner stood up, looked around at the crowd, then looked at his watch, and said, "Nineteen minutes left, the first hostage will be executed, I believe everyone must be very nervous, and I am sure that everyone must be very nervous, and want to know who this first person is to be executed?" To lighten up the atmosphere, let's play a game. ”

Everyone was stunned, game? When is this all and who is still in the mood to play games?

The executioner smiled and said, "Since it's a game, there are naturally rewards and punishments. The winner of the game will be free to walk out safely, while the loser will be the first to be executed! ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the people were stunned, it turned out that the executioner was going to choose the first hostage to be executed by playing a game, although it was a cruel game of life and death, but the winner was able to go out and regain his freedom, which was very attractive.

There are hundreds of guests here, and there is only one loser, which means that the chance of becoming the target of execution is only a few hundredths, which is relatively small.

Immediately, someone had the audacity to stand up and ask, "What are the rules of the game?" How many winners are there? ”

The executioner smiled: "It seems that everyone's enthusiasm is still very high, so I will start to announce the rules of the game, this game is very simple, I believe we have all played it, it is called grabbing chairs." Please all stand up, bring your chairs to the center of the hall, and form a large circle. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at each other, the game of grabbing a chair has been played by all people on the earth, and this kind of child's play is used to decide the life and death of people?

But now that the power of life and death is in the hands of the executioner, there is no choice but to listen to him.

Everyone stood up and walked to the middle of the hall with their chairs, and hundreds of chairs formed a large circle.

And when the guests were doing these things, Han Jing quietly said to Ye Tian and Yinruo: "You two don't have to participate in this game, just sit here." ”

Ye Tian and Yin Ruo nodded gratefully to Han Jing, it seemed that they really didn't have to worry about being the target of execution.

At this time, a few sharp-eyed people saw Ye Tian and Yinruo sitting still, and couldn't help shouting, "Why don't the two of them participate?" It's not fair! ”

"Could it be that Mr. Ridley is in the same league as them?"

"Ridley and that Han Jing are business partners, and most of them are in the same group!"

For a while, people thought that Ye Tianyinruo was also a member of the "New World".

Then the executioner shouted: "Quiet! ”

The people were taken aback, and then they fell silent.

The executioner continued: "These two are not our companions, nor our hostages, but our guests. After speaking, he beckoned to Ye Tian and Yinruo.

"Please come here, and please ask two to be the referees for this game."

Ye Tian and Yin Ruo were stunned, the current situation was very delicate, although the executioner announced in public that they were not members of the "New World", the special treatment of the two of them would definitely make people doubt their relationship with this group.

But now that the initiative is in the hands of the executioner, the two of them have no choice but to step forward.

The executioner smiled and pointed at the guests, and said: "Now everyone is calm, all retreat to a distance of twenty meters, and when the referee gives the order, the game will begin, the time limit is five minutes, please cooperate." ”

After saying that, the executioner walked up to the large circle of chairs, picked one at random, and after taking the chair away, this circle of chairs was exactly one short.

At this time, one of the people asked, "But sir, is there only one loser in this game, and everyone else is the winner?" ”

The executioner smiled at him: "Of course not, please turn around, don't look back, right now!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and then they all turned around obediently, not knowing what the executioner was trying to do.

Then the executioner took a grease pen from his hand, walked over to the pile of chairs, picked another one, and drew a mark under the base of the chair, and then walked back to the rostrum, all this which he did not be seen by the guests.

After doing this, the executioner nodded to Ye Tian and signaled that the game could begin.

Ye Tian took a deep breath and said loudly: "The game begins!" ”

With this order, hundreds of guests immediately turned around and rushed to the circle of chairs, everyone desperately moved forward, and what was in front of them was not a chair, but the hope of survival!

At this time, Ye Tian saw the crowd rushing over, and immediately understood some of the purposes of this game.

I saw that those people in the upper class, one by one, completely disregarded their identities, like a group of crazy people, they did not have the gentlemanly demeanor on weekdays, and they all rushed to be the first in order to survive, no different from the aunts and aunts who snapped up discounted goods in the supermarket.

These so-called superior people, who are well-dressed and dignified on weekdays, also showed the most primitive side of human nature at this time, grinning one by one, like berserkers who have beaten chicken blood, pulling and pushing each other, pushing and shoving, and some shouting and scolding, and even two men fighting.

The banquet hall instantly became a paradise for madmen, with a group of people looking like crazy, and it was watched by more than 100 million people under the condition of a global live broadcast.

At this time, Ye Tian saw an old man in his seventies, staggering towards the chair, he was on a crutch, and was staggered by the crazy crowd around him, but in order to survive, he had to fight for the chair.

But where is this old man the opponent of those in the prime of life? Even a woman could easily push him away, seeing that there were fewer and fewer chairs, he rushed left and right in the crowd, and could not grab a chair, and his face was suddenly full of horror, was he going to be the first to be executed?

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian frowned, he couldn't help but help this old man.

Just as Ye Tian was about to make a move, he saw a tall middle-aged man stand up, he struggled to push away the people around him who wanted to snatch his chair, and shouted at the old man, "Come to me!" Fast! ”

When the old man heard this, he suddenly saw the hope of life as if he had been reborn, and hurriedly squeezed from the crowd to the middle-aged man.

"Sit down." The middle-aged man was unpretentious and gave up the chair he had snatched to the old man.

The old man was first overjoyed, but then startled and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

The middle-aged man pressed the old man to the chair and said, "I have a lot of strength, I can grab another handful." ”

The old man was pressed against the chair, his eyes suddenly moistened, and he kept nodding and saying, "You are a good person, thank you, thank you." ”

The middle-aged man saw that there were fewer and fewer chairs, and he was anxious to snatch another chair, but as soon as he left the old man, someone immediately tried to pull the old man away from the chair.

The old man's strength is weak, if there is no one to protect him, he will be robbed of the chair in minutes, I saw his eyes looking at the crazy crowd in horror, trembling and said: "Young man, I can't hurt you, give this chair back to you, anyway, I'm old, half a foot in the coffin, it doesn't matter, you are still young." "With that, he had to give up his chair.

As a result, the young man was like a mountain, blocking the old man's body, and said categorically: "You sit down, I will protect you!" ”

The old man burst into tears, this middle-aged man who had never known him actually used his hope of survival to protect him, this is not as simple as giving up his seat on the bus, this man gave up a chance to live!

Seeing this scene, Ye Tian was also quite moved, he applauded the middle-aged man's behavior, and at the same time sighed that there is still a spirit of justice in this world. Although this earthly world is very impetuous, people often quarrel and even fight for a seat on the bus, but now facing the choice of life and death, there are still people who stand on the side of justice and justice, and there is still hope in this world!

"It's time!" Although Ye Tian was very reluctant to announce this result, this was the rule of the game.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the whole hall instantly returned to silence from the tumult, and everyone fell silent and looked at each other.

I saw that hundreds of chairs were full of people, and in the end, there was only one person left without a seat, and this person was the middle-aged man who gave up his seat!

The results are in, and the only loser will face execution.

But Ye Tian was shocked, although this upright and brave middle-aged man lost the game, he did not lose his character, why was such a person executed? The result of this game was difficult for him to accept.

The executioner frowned slightly, and said, "Referee, the game is over, and the results are clear at a glance, you should announce the results, right?" ”

Ye Tian's heart suddenly turned to the executioner and said, "Executioner, I think it is unfair to choose the hostages to be executed in this way, this man should not be executed!" ”

The executioner smiled lightly, but he was not angry, and said with interest: "But I am the maker of the rules of the game, you are just a referee, what do you want?" Disobey me? ”

Ye Tian looked at the man, the middle-aged man also looked at Ye Tian with a look of surprise, and everyone else also looked at Ye Tian in surprise, they didn't expect that Ye Tian would actually speak for an irrelevant person at such a time, and he didn't hesitate to offend the executioner, so they all felt that Ye Tian might really not be an accomplice of those people.
