Even in Middle-earth, on the other side of the world, the name of "Saw" is almost universally known, let alone Europe, which is culturally connected with North America.

As this familiar and strange puppet face emerged from the black ball, many people subconsciously stepped away from the black ball in front of them.

It's an early warning of danger.

At the same time, the puppet in the black ball also opened its humble mouth, and a gloomy and hoarse electric voice slowly sounded:

"Fellow members of the White Ember organization, I'd like to play a game with you......"

This sound is simply no different from the jigsaw in "Saw Horror".

"My name is 'Gantz', and as some of you have said, I come from a combination of a comic book and a movie, and you can call me 'Gantz' or you can call me 'G', of course, I personally prefer the name 'Gantz'."

"You're the one who kidnapped us here?"

As the black ball sounded, several people began to come back to their senses, and they rushed forward one by one, and said inwardly, "Quickly let us go back, what do you want to do!" ”

However, these people were eventually stopped by the people next to them.

"Don't be impulsive, listen to him man!"

After a while, these people once again eased up from the excitement of the crowd.

"Very well, it seems that some people have calmed down from their hot-headed state."

On the black ball, the weird puppet chuckled lowly, "Very good, I like people who can think, because as long as they are not too unlucky, they often survive to the end, after all, the first to die are often those who like to be hot-headed." ”

With Heiqiu's words, everyone suddenly quarreled loudly again, "Wait, what do you mean by living to the end?" Do you want to kill us! ”

Seeing this, Fisher on the side glanced at a few people behind him, and then he walked directly to the front of everyone and said loudly, "Now that we are being imprisoned here, there is only one way to save ourselves, and that is to calm down!" ”

As he spoke, several people who obeyed Fisher's orders also walked to Fisher's side and blocked everyone.

Intimidated by Fisher's status as the leader, everyone was once again suppressed.

Heiqiu ignored everyone's quarrel, but spoke indifferently again, "Maybe you haven't figured out the situation yet, but I suggest that you still listen carefully, because every word I say next is related to your life and death......"

I only heard Blackball say slowly, "Among your group, except for some mercenaries and killers, most of them are from environmental protection organizations, among which the 'Voluntary Extermination of Humans' organization is the most. ”

"You take it as your responsibility to protect the earth, and under the banner of returning the earth to nature, you are constantly tricking others to stop having children, and you have wrapped yourself in the good name of 'altruism'."

"But I think that human beings and other beings are essentially egoistic."

"The meaning of life is to continue, and the most fundamental means of continuation of life is to collect energy from the outside world, which is an essential self-interested behavior, and this is true for all lives, without exception."

The two blonde women beside Fisher subconsciously wanted to refute, but the black ball continued to speak:

"I know that in your sociology books, it has been mentioned that human beings are the only creatures with 'altruistic behavior'—lower creatures are like wildebeests, ten times more numerous and a hundred times larger than predators, but they can only become prey, and they cannot turn over for thousands of years."

"Humans are different, since the age of the apes, humans have assisted each other, and even the top predators dare not attack the ape tribe rashly, because they know that attacking a single Homo sapiens will cause all the crowd to rise up and attack it, and this group of standing monkeys will not scatter like wildebeest......"

"The reason why humans are more able to help each other and face danger than those herbivores is that the brain has evolved a special empathy mechanism during this period, which can make humans feel pity for their peers in crisis and difficulty, and help them by giving them a helping hand."

"So textbooks always state that there is obvious altruistic behavior in human society, and this is because altruistic behavior is definitely beneficial to the whole population, and the members help each other to resist the crisis together, and the group will become stronger......"

Just as everyone was listening thoughtfully, the black ball's voice suddenly turned and said in a low voice, "However, all this is all an illusion. ”

Everyone's faces suddenly changed.

"I know that many public figures like to do charity, and the same is true for ordinary people, and it is easy to get positive feedback when you help someone in need, which is the gratitude and reward of others."

"This behavior is genetically enhanced, and the human brain also mutates the feeling of pleasure that comes from receiving gratitude, so it's not helping others that makes us happy, it's how others react to you when you help."

"However, if you give someone a helping hand and that person reacts coldly or even sneeringly at you, then the emotion in your brain is not pleasure, but anger......

"Huh."

"Therefore, any seemingly altruistic behavior between human beings is actually an act of self-interest, even if it is charity, it is also for the purpose of gaining social recognition, and it is ultimately the purpose of self-interest."

Hearing the words of the black ball, everyone exploded again, some loudly reprimanded this as sophistry, and some people couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.

Blackball didn't explain anything, just said in a deeper voice, "I know that many people don't want to agree with me, so I'm going to play a game with you, a game that tests human beings' 'self-interested behavior' and 'altruistic behavior'. ”

"The rules of the game are like this—"

"In five days, you'll be sent to a small, empty island." As he spoke, the picture on the black ball flashed, turning into a distant view of an unnamed island in the sea.

The island is covered with lush jungle and golden sandy beaches, while deep on the island is a small hill covered with trees and a faint view of the river.

"This island, which I named Gantz Island, covers an area of about thirty-five square kilometers, which is about the size of a PUBG island map, and there are at least a thousand of these unknown islands in the Atlantic."

"But don't worry, I'm not sending you here to kill each other like in a game, it's a very tasteless thing...... After five days, all the players will land on the island, and I will give each of you players a contact device, which will not only see everyone's location, but also have an electronic password map inside each contact. ”

"The purpose of this decoding map is to open the signal towers on the island."

Blackball began to explain the rules, "On this Blacklight Island, there are a total of 200 signal towers, evenly divided in every corner of the island, and you only need to find one of the signal towers, you can light them up with the electronic password map in your hand, and each map can only light up one signal tower once. ”

"But I warn you that this image has a special curse that will cause you to become tainted with this curse called 'filth' if you use it to light up the tower."

"Cursed?"

There was a flash of disbelief on the faces of many.

"It's a special curse."

Blackball explained, "After being infected with the curse, players will be reduced to ashes in a single day, and there is only one way to stop it, and that is from the top of the hill in the middle of the island. ”

"On the top of the island, there is a safe zone shrouded in metal statues, where the curse cannot spread."

"Of course, the Safe Zone can only stop the spread of the curse, but it cannot completely eradicate the curse, and if the player leaves the safe zone, the curse will continue......"

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed again.

"Of course, it's not actually that difficult for players to win if they want to win."

Ignoring the increasingly ugly faces of the crowd, Blackball continued, "There are only two hundred towers on the island, and as long as all the towers are lit up, players who don't use the liaison will be able to leave the island safely. ”

"Wait!"

At this moment, someone finally couldn't help it, and a middle-aged man with a hooked nose stepped forward and asked loudly, "What about those who lit up the signal tower?" Can't they leave the island? ”

"No, because they are already infected with the curse, which can only be stopped in the safe zone of the island, and once they leave the safe zone, they will all die in a day......"

Blackball replied decisively.

"What the hell is this bullshit rule......"

Hearing this, everyone fried the pot again, after all, how many people in this world would be willing to sacrifice themselves and willingly let others leave?

"This is what you call altruism."

Hearing everyone's frying, the black ball was still calm, "Your batch has a total of five hundred and fifty people, as long as you sacrifice two hundred people, you can let the remaining three hundred and fifty people survive, this is a good deal, isn't it?" ”

"In addition, the environment on the island is also very rich, there are countless seafood on the beach, and countless wild fruits in the mountains and forests, these foods can be satisfied, the only bad thing is that there are five special residents on the island."

Special residents?

Everyone was shocked again, and there was a faint bad association.

I saw that the picture on the black ball flashed again, and a man wearing a black trench coat with pale skin appeared on the screen.

The man was barely expressionless, but the muscles in his body were so well developed that even in a trench coat could not hide the perfect lines.

"Tyrant, tyrant?"

"Impossible!"

"Resident Evil monsters?"

Seeing this, there was another exclamation from the crowd, and countless people questioned it loudly.

"These five occupants are very hot-tempered, they have a deep hostility towards outsiders, and when they see you, they will quickly launch the most desperate pursuit, please believe me, without any thermal weapons, even a team of 100 people will not be able to defeat it in hand-to-hand combat......"

"The only good news is that these five natives will only kill one person at a time and then stop, they roam randomly around the island, and they will not set foot in the safe area at the top of the mountain......"

At this time, everyone was completely confused, and Fisher asked several of his subordinates to protect themselves, squeezed in front of the black ball, and suddenly asked, "This ...... Mr. Gantz, I would like to ask, is there a time limit for this 'game'? ”

"No, even if it takes you a year to light up all the towers, you'll complete the mission, but it's just ......"

Blackball said, suddenly chuckling in a low voice, "I almost forgot, there is a rule I didn't tell you, that is, if the player who lit the signal tower dies, no matter how he died, the signal tower he lit will fail, and the next liaison will need to light it." ”

"What?"

There was another wail from the crowd, and Fisher's pupils shrank, and he immediately thought that in this way, in order to ensure that the lit signal tower was not extinguished, it was necessary to ensure that all the people who lit the signal tower were alive, that is, they must be in the safe zone.

And those who are not cursed must feed this group of people, at least enough food for them before all the towers are lit up, to prevent them from starving to death and causing the towers to fail.

"What if we snatch someone else's liaison to light up the tower?"

Just then, another man asked, and the ill-intentioned words made the others frown.

"It doesn't make any sense."

However, Blackball replied, "Even if the player snatches someone else's contact to light the signal tower, it is still the player himself who is infected with the curse, not the owner of the contact, but the player who loses the contact will be the target of the five natives on the island until the player is killed, or the player escapes to safety." ”

Hearing this, Fisher's heart was cold again, because this basically put an end to the method of a person who sacrificed himself and used dozens of contacts to light up those signal towers.

Because not only will the people who light the towers die, but those who donate the liaison will also be in danger of being hunted down by the tyrant.

"That's all the rules for that game five days later."

At this time, the black ball re-spoke, "This is a game of 'self-interested behavior' and 'altruistic behavior', as you believe in altruistic behavior, will you let others sacrifice, huddle behind the hero, and become an egoist that you hate?" ”

"Or do you have the courage to search for all the truths of altruism at the cost of your life?"

"Everyone, you will be tested, your will will be tested, what no one says is born the truth, if you want it to become the truth, you can only keep practicing it, whether it is life or death, you have the right to choose for yourself......"

With Blackball's words, the entire huge Blacklight has begun to ride the wind and waves, sailing towards the exit of the Mediterranean.

Looking from the back of the Black Light, I could only see the end of the sea level, and a red sunset had already stained the sky, reflecting the entire Black Light into a huge ship full of blood......
