Chapter 36 (II) The Manipulated Game
"Murdered." The voice said in a deep voice, with a hint of comfort, "Do you have these three words in your head?" Think you've killed someone, and you can't stand it? This must be the first real murder in your life, right? â
Tang Shuxing shook his head and looked at the source of the voice: "No, I'm just recalling what my predecessors taught me. â
"Why are you not excited, not scared after you kill someone, usually people will tremble all over, and they can't even hold the weapon in their hands tightly." The voice didn't seem to believe it, and while observing Tang Shuxing, he asked again.
"In other places, within the jurisdiction of the law, I would definitely be scared, maybe I would run away, but in the Gu Hunting Ground, I won't, because everyone who comes to participate in the competition knows that they may die in the next second, if I don't kill him, he will kill me, even if there is no enmity between us." Tang Shuxing shook the dragon blade and put it back into the scabbard, his face was calm, but when he raised his eyes, he found that Ji Kefeng and Ami were looking at him, and their eyes were very strange.
This kid...... Ji Kefeng pondered in his heart, and looked in the direction of the mysterious man's voice: Xing Er was not nervous at all? I killed someone for the first time and did psychological counseling for half a month.
"What's wrong?" Tang Shuxing asked, he didn't realize that along the way, he had never had such a serious expression as at this moment, as if he was holding red incense in the Buddha hall and worshipping the Buddha.
"Nothing." Ami shook her head slightly, barely squeezing out a smile, and also remembered the scene when she killed the first person, although she pretended to be strong, she cried silently in the middle of the night because she killed the man. I kept staring into each other's eyes, watching the light of life disappear from my eyes in an instant.
From that day on, Ami never looked directly into the other person's eyes, but looked at the part where his bullet was about to hit.
The three people in the jungle were silent for a long time, and one of them finally came out, holding a trekking pole, also wearing a mask, but it was a children's plastic mask Astro Boy, wearing a floral shirt. Flower shorts. Like the old men who were on the beach, the other two also walked out from the left and right sides one after another.
The old man who was holding the white trekking pole, that is, the one who taught Tang Shuxing to crack the knife, introduced himself softly: "My name is Sanguan, and I am a retired criminal policeman from Thailand. Chinese. â
"I'm Hongzhong. He is also a retired police officer in Thailand. It's just that I used to be a clerical worker. Said the man in a large-mouthed monkey suit, a black trekking pole and a Mickey Mouse mask. He pointed to the last person and introduced, "His name is Mi Ji, and he was a patrol officer before he retired." â
In the end, the man didn't take a trekking pole, and was wearing clothes like pajamas, and his clothes were full of big copper coins, like a rich man in the Republic of China, wearing a children's mask of Zhu Bajie, and after Hongzhong introduced himself, he just nodded silently.
"All three are retired Thai police officers? Don't be funny, you are absolutely Chinese. Tang Shuxing put on that grinning expression again, "Can a retired Thai policeman know how to use knives so well?" That's worth it! Besides, at such an old age, he still came to participate in the Gu Hunting Ground Competition, and he didn't have absolute strength, so he basically wanted to be buried in the Gu Hunting Ground after he died. â
"That's right! We have this idea, do you want to help us fulfill this wish? The chicken finally spoke, and the tone was full of mockery, "Everyone here is crazy, no brains, relying on what swordsmanship and knife skills alone, learning is useless, and he will die more ugly than anyone else, tell you a real example, in the second Gu Hunting Ground Competition, there is a girl who can be said to be powerless, with her own strength, she killed five strong teams with a knife, and that session was really a master, and when she entered the Gu Hunting Ground, there were 35 teams, which can be described as corpses all over the field." â
"Girls? On your own? How did she do it? Tang Shuxing slowly walked towards the old man.
"Use your brain!" The old man raised his hand and pointed to his head, "A person with a good brain is more powerful than a person with a unique skill!" Simple fighting and killing can't get on the big stage! â
Tang Shuxing walked up to the old man, his eyes were quick, he took off his mask, and shouted, "Master, I know it's you!" But after the mask was taken off, there was a strange old face inside, the old man looked at Tang Shuxing angrily, then put the mask on, stretched out his finger, pointed at Tang Shuxing, so angry that he couldn't say a word, and finally had to shake his hand and walk slowly towards the jungle.
The other two also shook their heads and followed the old man away, Tang Shuxing was stupid in place, scratching his head and muttering to himself: "It's impossible, the way of speaking, and the tone, including the content, are exactly the same as the master?" â
"Xing Er, who is your master? Why didn't you mention it? Ji Kefeng asked at this time, frowning, "What else are you hiding from me?" â
"There is a reason for this, my master said that I must not mention him as my master when I go out, so I didn't mention it." Tang Shuxing didn't think so, reached out to take the rifle in Ji Kefeng's hand, and found that Ji Kefeng held the rifle tightly and didn't let go.
"Hey, this is a gift from Madman Gu!" Tang Shuxing stared at Ji Kefeng, "Did you take the wrong medicine?" Do you have a bayonet? â
"Punishment two! I am when you are brothers, you are when I am what? Ji Kefeng stared at him closely, Ami felt embarrassed on the side, and it was not easy to interject.
"Here we go again! There's something wrong with you, isn't it? Tang Shuxing let go of the rifle, "I said, my master won't let me say it, my master is closer than my father, do you listen to your father?" â
"I'm just telling you, when I'm a brother and Ami is a companion, don't hide it!" Ji Kefeng pointed at Tang Shuxing, turned around and left.
Tang Shuxing grabbed Ji Kefeng's shoulder and asked, "Master Ji, what do you mean?" Pull Ami in? Did you take the wrong medicine? â
Ji Kefeng shook off Tang Shuxing's hand, and when he passed by Ami, he just whispered one word: "Go!" â
Tang Shuxing stood there, leaned over and grabbed his backpack, looking at the figure of Ji Kefeng leaving, he felt that Ji Ye had changed too much along the way, no, it should be said that since the death of Xue Ying in the underground city of Zhenyang City, his whole person will become unreasonable from time to time, could it be said that this kid has some kind of mental illness because of murder?
In the chaotic jungle on one side, Gu Huaiyi, who had secretly returned, looked at Tang Shuxing with a smile. But when his eyes looked at Ji Kefeng, his smile was put away, because in Ji Kefeng's previous actions, there were only two words he saw - jealousy.
At this time, Matcha suddenly scratched the back of Gu Huaiyi's neck with her claws, and Gu Huaiyi slowly turned his head and looked at the old man who called himself a chicken from the nursing home team standing among the bushes opposite him.
Under the mask, Gu Huaiyi could only see the old man's soulless eyes, you couldn't grasp anything, it seemed unfathomable. But I think he pretended it on purpose. It feels like looking at each other with Tang Shuxing.
Gu Huaiyi smiled at the old man, turned around and disappeared into the jungle.
"Big brother, the kid surnamed Gu is more powerful than he imagined." The next three cylinders said softly, "When he fought with Rong Chen of the winery team before. He used less than half of his energy. If you use ten. Rong Chen will be killed in seconds. â
"Yes, I know." Mi Ji nodded slightly, "I'm worried about Tang Shu's punishment." This kid was always involved, which was beyond my expectations. â
"With the three of us, it shouldn't be a problem to escape with him, but his other three companions can only be left here." Hongzhong looked around, analyzing the situation in his mind.
"No." Mi Ji raised his hand and said, "If there is no Tang Shu punishment, the rest of the people will have to die, this kid has always pretended to be confused, dressed as a mentally handicapped idiot, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, although sometimes the practice makes people feel disgusting, but that is also the way to survive." â
"But what exactly is the purpose of our participation in this Gu Hunting Ground Competition?" Sanguan was a little anxious, "Although we can definitely live, it makes me feel very uncomfortable to see so many innocent people dying." â
"Damn it, sooner or later, you're going to die." The chicken turned to look at his other two old brothers, pointed to the camera on his chest and said, "Don't forget, the people of the committee have been watching us, our every move, word and deed is under their control, and the purpose of adding the rules of the camera is just to facilitate surveillance." â
As he spoke, the chicken leaned over to the chest camera and said, "I'm starting to suspect that your original intention of holding the Gu Hunting Ground Contest is not just like killing!" As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the camera and stabbed him hard.
In the underground fortress, Zhu Weidong stared at the fingers of the chicken on the big screen, put away the hand supporting his cheeks, approached the screen with interest, rubbed his forehead again, and began to look through the information stored in the zĂ i computer, and at the same time rubbed the tobacco with his hand and rolled his own cigarette.
In front of Zhu Weidong's office, outside the large floor-to-ceiling sterilization glass, in a huge hall, dozens of people wearing chemical protective suits were busy, most of them staring at the computer screen in front of them, paying close attention to the various news conveyed inside and outside the Gu Hunting Ground, and at the same time broadcasting the game to the supporters of the various teams participating in the Gu Hunting Ground gambling game, as well as the audience who paid a high fee to watch the game, of course, more people from all over the world who placed heavy bets to participate in the gambling game.
In the peripheral gambling game, because of the annihilation of the three teams of Unicorn, Kimchi and Winery, there have been many inexperienced gamblers who have lost their money, from the so-called rich to poor eggs in an instant, drinking at home, waiting for the creditor to come to the door to kick themselves out of the house.
"The winery team is all wiped out, there are still 8 teams left, there is only 1 person left in the Ark team, the most unpopular 'Yifeng Punishment Team' picks up the enemy 7 times, no deaths, no serious injuries, after the end of the first round, their odds have risen from 1.5 to 10, but there are very few bets to buy them to win the championship or someone survives, there are less than 80 people in the world, but because of the various things that happened in the first round, many people have decided to throw the bet that the first round was thrown to the 'Yifeng Punishment Team', and the second round is all bet to' According to statistics, there are less than 10 people who still insist on betting on the 'Yifeng Criminal Team', a decrease of 70 people. In the computer, the voice of Zhu Weidong's administrative secretary in the Americas came out, and she made the simplest statistics.
Zhu Weidong looked at the rising amount of gambling on the computer, and did not show a satisfied expression, and then turned his eyes to the templates of the "Shangdu coins" designed by himself on the tablet next to him, lit the hand-rolled cigarette, took a puff and asked: "This time we rented the Americans' satellites to carry out illegal broadcasting, taking the current gambling money as an example, in addition to the lease fee and the risk-taking fee, how much do we have left?" â
"There's not much left." The secretary's answer was simple and straightforward.
"Then help the 'Wing Peak Punishment Team', let them do a better job in the second round, and give them some programs that can be handled." Zhu Weidong smoked a cigarette and straightened his back, "I want to keep their odds at this rate, and at the same time attract more people to place heavy bets, and then try to kill them in the fourth round, no, in the fifth round, maybe they can live longer, so that we can earn more, this time, I hope to get a net profit of at least 1 billion pounds after deducting all the expenses, otherwise it will be a loss." â
"Do you want to get rid of the money given to the committee?" The secretary inquired in detail, without any emotion in his tone, like a machine.
Zhu Weidong smiled: "Of course, it's just the money that fell into our Shangdu's own pocket." â
"Forgive me for saying more." The secretary said again, and after Zhu Weidong responded, the secretary asked, "How do Yaojin and Zheng Guoyuan deal with it?" It stands to reason that they are the ones who formed the committee, and they are very powerful, and the periphery of the Gu hunting ground is full of Yao Jin and Zheng Guoyuan's people, without them, this place would have been exposed a long time ago. â
"Patience." Zhu Weidong flicked the ashes of his cigarette, "Wait for our power to grow, and after the Shangdu National Defense Force is established, we don't have to be patient." â
"Executive Committee." The secretary added, "They won't let us build an army. â
"Who said I'm going to build here?" Zhu Weidong said with a smile, "The earth is so big, could it be that all the other organizations have to listen to the orders of Zheng Guoyuan and Yaojin, and they are all their allies?" Moreover, the drug market in the future will not be the world of No. 4, nor will it be the world of cocaine, and young people will pursue new drugs with high quality and low prices, just like luxury goods, no matter how they are sold, they will not be able to sell the beautiful cowhide bags in the hands of street vendors. â
"Executive Committee." The secretary began to pour cold water again, "Nowadays, the only thing in the world that is fully developing new drugs is Yaojin, and organizations in South America and North America are still following the old path. â
"So, sooner or later, they're going to die." Zhu Weidong approached the screen and said word by word, "This is the same as playing cards, if you want to win all the time, you must first pretend to abide by the rules, and secondly, you can go out of the way, and then you can destroy the rules, but you have no strength, you rely on the so-called card skills and luck, sooner or later the boat will capsize, what we have to do is to put a pistol full of bullets next to the card table, and tell the others at the table that if you don't follow the rules I set, you all have to die!" â
"I see." The secretary remained in his previous tone, "I'll do my best." â
"We're going to make it." Zhu Weidong took a deep breath and stared at the Shangdu coin template displayed on the tablet, "For our country!" With that, Zhu Weidong turned off the computer screen, stood up and raised his hands and shouted, "Long live Shangdu!" Long live President Zhu Weidong! â
Zhu Weidong walked back and forth in the office with his hands raised, and many people below looked back curiously, but because the septic glass was also completely soundproof, they didn't know what Zhu Weidong was shouting excitedly, just shrugged their shoulders and continued to be busy.
"It's nothing to blackmail a person, an organization, or a country." Zhu Weidong leaned against the glass and said to himself, "If you want to blackmail the whole world and succeed, that's called power!" (To be continued......)
