Chapter 31 Class Contradictions
The scene is North Star City, and Su Mu plays the identity of a businessman, which is simply a true performance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info If you don't handle it well and lose this game, not only will you not get the help of Blackface and the Thieves Guild, but you will also be sarcastically ridiculed by Blackface. Blackface plays the murderer in order to target himself and expose the greed and hypocrisy of businessmen as a vulnerable group.
On the contrary, if you win, you can prove that you are completely different from those businessmen, so that Blackface can convince the public and help yourself.
And in this game, Blackface also took the opportunity to test Su Mu's reaction to see if he was helpful.
"So, is the victory condition a draw, or is it a designation?" Su Mu asked.
"Specify the conditions, the condition of the victory of the murderer is to discredit the merchant, and the condition of the victory of the merchant is to reform the murderer." The black face set this tricky rule, and looked at Su Mu's eyes with a sneer as he spoke.
Because he hated the businessman, Blackface would target Su Mu everywhere in the next process, digging pits and waiting for him to jump. When Blackface said the conditions for victory, Alec, as the referee, became worried.
If you want to influence a murderer who is eager to cut a businessman with a thousand knives, the difficulty can be imagined.
Unlike Alec, Su Mu was very calm at this time, and he was thinking about this victory condition. According to the blackface routine, the murderer will be set against the businessman in various settings, and he will not leave a chance for himself to be reformed.
Therefore, the businessman that this murderer wants to expose must not be the businessman he plays, otherwise the story will be very difficult to make up. If the two cannot reconcile, then the real-life cooperation with the Thieves Guild will also fall short.
"I need to add one condition, the businessman who the murderer wants to expose cannot be me." Su Mu said his thoughts smoothly.
"Yes." Blackface nodded, then looked at Fante.
Fante immediately understood, and placed the event cards and prop cards under the rules of the simple mode on the table in front of Su Mu and Black Face respectively. In the next match, the two of them will draw event cards in their respective rounds to play, and the use of item cards will be the icing on the cake of the game.
"The stage is set in the North Star City of Osland, in the central continent. Identity, black-faced murderer, Su Mu businessman. The conditions for both sides to win have been determined, and the game begins. After Vant repeats the final rules, a game duel that alludes to reality officially begins.
"So, I'll start first." As he spoke, Blackface had already pressed his hand on the event card.
"Okay." Whoever starts the tone of the story first is who decides, and if you let Blackface take the lead, you can know his strategy. In this way, Su Mu will also have more time to think about it.
Blackface smiled and drew an event card. According to the rules, the first person to draw an event card must draw an event card, and then each person can choose to draw an event card or an item card per turn, and each person's starting hand is 5 item cards.
"Conflict Events - Hatred." Blackface reveals the first event card.
"The story goes like this. Monte is a poor man in North Star City, and he has a family of three and a beautiful daughter. The son of the president of the Chamber of Commerce appears and breaks his peaceful life. The young master fell in love with Monte's daughter's beauty and wanted to play with it. And Monte, in order to protect his daughter, shot and injured the kid. The black face paused slightly, paying attention to Su Mu's expression, but Su Mu didn't show anything, just calmly looked at the narrator's black face.
Blackface continues his story: "Then tragedy happened, Monte's wife disappeared three days later, and finally her body was found in the deep alley, stripped naked, bruised, surrounded by filth, and her painful expression told of her tragic experience. ā
Since the beginning of the story, Fante, who is the referee on the side, seems to be holding back something. All this was seen by Su Mu, who was listening to the story, and Su Mu thought to himself, maybe the story of the black face was an allusion to the life and experience of their thieves union members? What did Fante go through? What's the story of blackface?
Monte knew that this must be the young master's revenge, and he tried to send his daughter away, but unexpectedly, the young master of the Chamber of Commerce with a grudge still found his daughter's hiding place and killed the beautiful girl. In order to avenge his wife and daughter, Monte tried his best to kill the brute, but after killing the two guards, he failed to succeed and finally became a wanted murderer. In the last paragraph, Blackface visibly elevates his tone, making it possible to feel his anger.
Not only was his face black, but Alec's eyes were also full of ash at this moment, and Fante was even more tearful. The story of Blackface is universal, and in an era where too many poor people are exploited and harmed by the rich, he is only one of many tragedies.
No matter what Su Mu thinks, and no matter how kind Wang Li is, Su Cheng's family is only a minority of businessmen, and these minorities cannot change people's general perception, especially these poor people who are desperate and live at the bottom.
Nearing the end of Blackface's first round story, he continued: "Thinking of how hard it would be to get this scum to pay for his life, Monte decided to expose the Chamber of Commerce for what it really was, to bring their crimes to light, and to ruin their reputation. However, in the process, the food business of the chamber of commerce exposed by Munters indirectly affected the interests of a fellow food chamber of commerce. And this peer chamber of commerce belongs to the businessman you play, Su Mu. ā
The black face ended his round, and he threw the question to Su Mu. He also had some contradictions in his heart, he wanted to see how Su Mu, a master adventurer, turned the tables in such a disadvantage, and he very much hoped that Su Mu could fail miserably, so as to humiliate the group of merchants.
After listening to the blackface's narration, Su Mu already had an idea in his heart. This seems to be a heinous bloody case caused by a rich young master who oppressed the poor. In fact, it sharply reflects the contradiction between the rich and the poor, and at the same time highlights the phenomenon of businessmen ignoring the lives of the poor for the sake of profit.
In the development of North Star City over the years, the phenomenon of "people eating people" has occurred from time to time, and the Lingzi Revolution has given North Star City a chance, and North Star City has also given many people opportunities. And under this tide, there are also many people who do not seize the opportunity and fall down, of course, this is good.
Many people are like Alec, who were born at the bottom since they were children, and the changes above have nothing to do with him, they steal and rob every day in order to survive, and are despised and oppressed by those above all the time, playing and abusing as they like. And this kind of social contradiction is especially obvious in the North Star City in the transformation of Lingzi.
Although the story compiled by the black face is infuriating, including Su Mu, he hates the rich young master in the story very much. But he understood that this was a permanent problem and contradiction in the class, and it was not something that could be solved by whims. If the Monte tragedy is to be prevented from happening again, businessmen should be committed to making rules and improving social trends.
"Young Master, it's your turn next. If not, you can throw in the towel, huh. Blackface was very satisfied with his story, he thought that this kind of story full of contradictions and intentions, a young master like Su Mu might not be able to handle it properly, even if he was a master of games.
However, after experiencing the catastrophe of life and death and disguise in the past few days, Su Mu has been different from before. His eyes became sharp at this moment, and he was bound to win this duel.
Su Mu began to act, he looked at the other three people, and blurted out a confident word.
"I will help you drive away the darkness in your hearts."
