Chapter 243: Happy Carnival
"Barry is gone."
Ethan didn't know where to come from, and leaned against the door frame and said this thoughtlessly. Just as Qiu Xuan was still wondering whether "gone" meant that someone had done it or something else, on the third floor of the outer building, there was a sudden thunderous sound.
They are familiar with this movement, and they have just witnessed it in the morning, and it belongs to Qingbaichuan's ability.
"Who is it?"
Qing Baichuan hung his head and hugged a corpse, and the corpse's chest and abdomen still saw the bloody hole that had been broken during the confrontation with the Lyme villagers in the morning.
The rest of the contestants who were still there also came out, and Barry, who Ethan had spoken, stood there coldly with his arms crossed, and strangely the camera artist standing next to him trembled slightly at a subtle frequency.
"Why did you die suddenly...... Ethan recognized the corpse, it was the woman who was with Qing Baichuan, and he couldn't tell how he died a little far away, but the dense wounds on the corpse were shocking.
The people in the program team came and went, only vaguely saying something perfunctory such as "It's a pity that I didn't carry the wound repair period". And anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the wound is serious, it is not fatal, and she can only be deliberately killed.
"She hasn't offended anyone, and she hasn't done anything else to hinder the interests of others, so why kill her?"
The question quickly became a more accurate guess, as the home side announced the results of this round of popularity voting this evening, and Barton was at the bottom of the list.
Among those who are still alive, from bottom to top, are Lily, Abu, Barry, Mofang, Ran, Qingbaichuan, Qiuxuan, and Ethan.
When I first heard this, not only the people in the high-end league were full of surprise, but even the shock on Ethan's face was not like a disguise.
At the end of the game, Ethan said that he had sneaked into the staff team to take a look at the results of tonight's vote, and the last place was Barry, and the difference from the penultimate number of votes was quite large. Unexpectedly, in less than three hours, the voting results were updated, and the eliminated person became Barton.
"What did he do to make the audience feel different about him in just three hours?"
“…… It may not be the kind of change we have traditionally seen. Qiu Xuan thought for a while, "There may be another aspect, 'change'." ”
Ethan understood what she meant.
"But we don't have evidence, and even if we do, it's very likely that this kind of killing contestants on the show will not be convicted."
"But it can provide us with an opportunity to win over Qingbaichuan."
……
At the appointed time every day, each camera operator will return to the program team for a period of time to make adjustments and discuss meetings.
Qing Baichuan squatted beside Qiu Xuan with a cold face, and endured it for a long time before he said impatiently: "Why are you so sure that it was Barry who killed him?" ”
"He somehow knew that the person who was going to be eliminated today was him, and in order to keep himself, he couldn't help but take risks." Qiu Xuan said lightly, "Of course, this is just my guess, but even if we are wrong, we won't lose, right?" ”
Qing Baichuan snorted coldly, but did not continue to speak sarcastically.
"Here he is."
A mediocre-looking man walked out of the venue of the program group with a camera in his hand, although for some professional reasons, these shooting images are all silent and silent at ordinary times, but the man's facial expression at the moment is a little strange.
He seemed to shrink back with a little fear and nervousness, so much so that compared to the rest of his peers, he didn't seem to be very happy to go back.
Qing Baichuan straightened up and swept the long knife in his hand. "I'll go."
"Let's go together, you move quietly, it's best not to let others find out."
The woman snorted and glanced back at her, "Sick seedlings are ...... What do you do? ”
The man who was crouching behind the bushes with her suddenly leaned over and rushed like an arrow off the string, and she was so fast that she was behind the cameraman in a few breaths. The man turned around vigilantly, and in the next second, a miserable white and thin palm firmly covered his mouth and nose.
Of course, these videographers selected by layers are not vegetarians, and the man reacted to the fact that he pulled out a pistol from his waist and just wanted to press the trigger at close range behind him, and then the inner layer of his other hanging arm suddenly felt as if it had been burned by fire.
"I have no ill intentions, I just wanted to talk to you. You also have only one choice. ”
The man subconsciously raised his left arm, which seemed to have been burned, only to see that above the smooth skin, a strange and mysterious pure black totem spread to the inside of his entire forearm.
"This ...... What is it? ”
"Follow me."
The man is not an ordinary person without a little ability, so the plague virus does not work for him, even if he succeeds in planting it now, Qiu Xuan can't control him - it is quite effective to scare people.
Qing Baichuan originally wanted to take a shot just in case, but he raised his eyebrows when he looked at the situation in front of him. It was as if the treacherous figure holding the twin knives in her hands appeared in front of her again during the physical examination that day, and there was no need for a too gorgeous and dazzling energy release like theirs, and the man stood there with a short knife in his hand, which was itself the sharpest blade.
The red-lipped woman smiled and slung the long knife over her shoulder.
“…… What the hell do you want to do? ”
In the bushes not far away, the man looked at the two people in front of him and pursed his lips, but did not turn on the camera in his hand.
"The person was killed by Barry, and you, as his cameraman, should know best." Qiu Xuan's words are concise and to the point.
The man was silent for two seconds, "I can't tell you that it's against the rules...... Are you going to get your hands dirty?! ”
Qing Baichuan pressed the tip of the knife against his chest, and his red lips provoked as if he was sneering contemptuously. "What's the matter, even if you die here now, we can excuse the villagers from doing it. Find out who is in the hands of the initiative now, and get acquainted. ”
Qiu Xuan was as kind as a stream, "We are not unreasonable people, it seems that you should also be very dissatisfied with Barry." Think about it, if he can disappear or be eliminated, wouldn't you have to continue to be his follow-up photographer? ”
The man still shook his head, "What if I tell you, it's my job, I'm protected." ”
"Don't talk nonsense with him," Qing Baichuan sent some forward with his hand, and the black clothes on his chest immediately oozed a little blood. "I am familiar with the method of torturing people, give it to me, and if you don't believe him, he won't open his mouth."
Qiu Xuan waited patiently with his sleeves on, until the man began to moan uncontrollably before he slowly stopped Qing Baichuan's movements. "Oh, don't worry, let's give him a little time. Well, you show us the footage, and I promise Barry won't survive tomorrow night. ”
This is true, Ryder has already sent someone to target Barry and Ethan, presumably thinking about it for a long time.
"As long as you don't say it yourself, then no one will know about it. Besides, just a glance at the footage, which isn't a big deal compared to Barry's possible revenge later. ”
The two of them sing red and white faces together, although Qiu Xuan is not experienced, but the practical operation is still passable. What's more, there is an even more bluffing Elpis virus on his arm, and it is only a matter of time before he agrees.
The man finally sighed and projected the camera footage between the three of them.
The scene recedes to Barry sitting on the bed looking at his brain.
Qiu Xuan: "Why didn't he hand over the equipment, did he go through the back door?" ”
Qing Baichuan looked at her in disbelief: "Are you stupid?" There's a spare machine.,Is it really like this.,There's no way to contact the outside world? ”
Qiu Xuan: "......?" ”
Qing Baichuan: "But think about it, looking at the poor and sour appearance when you first came, it is estimated that you don't have the money to buy a spare machine." Oh yes, rest assured, this aspect is very strict, and all the backups of everyone except Barry are confiscated, and I don't know how he escaped the inspection. ”
The two stared at each other for a moment, then rolled their eyes away.
As if looking at something, the seated Barry stood up suddenly, and the expression on his face changed from disbelief to viciousness. For a while, he was silent for a while, staring at the camera with the resentful and cold gaze of the maggot on the tarsus.
The wrist of the person behind the camera seems to tremble.
Everything that followed seemed to be a logical thing, and Barry did it without the slightest intention of avoiding the camera, but instead did the opposite, showing all his gloom in front of the audience.
The woman lying on the hospital bed had just woken up, and on the projection screen, Qing Baichuan had just gone out with his front foot, and Barry went straight through the window in the next second. The woman raised her gun in disbelief, but her body, which was already at the end of the crossbow, was simply unable to resist the impending damage.
Qing Baichuan clenched his fists suddenly, and the expression on his face was terrifying, as if Barry in the video was a dead man.
Qiu Xuan sighed, and somehow suddenly remembered the first night they came here, when the woman waved her skirt and danced.
After a brief beating, Barry gently brushes the dagger off the camera and stands in front of the corpse, smiling at the camera and the world's audience.
"Like it? I know, even if you say it's disgusting, don't you just like to watch this kind of thing. He laughed hoarsely twice, "Let me tell you, I am such a person, and I will try to get rid of everything that stands in my way to victory." In the end, it's just me, the only one who can stand on the high ground and watch you cheer and chase down there. ”
"Join me."
Suddenly, Barry stepped forward, and his hideous face almost touched the mirror. It can be seen from the camera that he and the photographer himself were taken aback, but he took the initiative to reach out and pull the camera to his face. "All those who still have a desire for profit and blood, join me, pursue me, I can do everything you want to see."
"No rules, no constraints. Let's have a carnival and have a great carnival. ”
He threw down the cameraman, who seemed to have looked stupid, and fell from the windowsill with his arms outstretched as if he were embracing the world. reacted, the cameraman hurriedly wanted to chase after him, but the man had long since disappeared.
The things they wanted to know had been released, Qing Baichuan's face was gloomy enough to kill, and Qiu Xuan was also silent, but he was thinking about another thing.
She probably knew why, in just three hours, Barry's vote had suddenly surpassed Abu and Lily in sixth place.
This kind of thing may be unthinkable in other places, but it's normal for this to happen in this world.
The audience wants curiosity and excitement, not a boring contestant or those who are full of politeness and shame. I despise this kind of person who only uses bloody gimmicks to make a splash, but they prefer to watch this.
scolded again and again, "It's disgusting, it's really perverted, you can do this kind of thing", which not only satisfies the sense of self-superiority standing on the moral high ground, but also satisfies your own mentality of pursuing curiosity.
Barry, in a sense, is an embodiment of that part of the audience.
The most morbid desires buried in the depths of the well, the most daring to do and the most difficult to declare, Barry did for them.
Indulge in carnivals, indulge in pleasures, and sink into a society composed of entertainment supremacy.
“…… He was verbally warned. It seemed that the atmosphere was too oppressive, and the cameraman said dryly. Because some of the images violated the broadcasting law, a verbal warning was given. ”
"Verbal, warning?"
Qing Baichuan finally moved, she raised her head in disbelief, and repeated his words lightly. The man knew that there was nothing he could do, so he could only sigh again.
Qing Baichuan stood up, his eyes flashing with laser electricity again.
"Even if I owe you this time and pay it back later, now I have more important things to do."
Qiu Xuan knew her purpose, and for some reason, she still opened her mouth to remind her. "Actually, you don't have to do it, Barry is already being targeted, and he can only live until tomorrow at the latest...... Of course, if it were me, I would have done it myself, and I don't seem to be qualified to persuade you anything. So,"
"Do it cleanly and don't let people grab the handle."
"Don't worry."
The two squatted in place and watched the woman with the long knife on her shoulder leave, Qiu Xuan stood up and loosened her numb muscles, and saw the cameraman send his arm straight to her. "How can this be solved?"
"I won't touch it, depending on the physique, it should disappear in a week at most."
“…… Preferably so. ”
Saying that, he also picked up the camera and left, Qiu Xuan stood in place and put his tongue on the inner wall of his mouth, and began to think about what to do next.
Suddenly there was a big danger sensation behind him.
She didn't have time to turn her head back and plunged directly into the bushes next to her, and with the help of force, she unloaded most of the attack, and the knife in her right hand was unsheathed and stabbed straight at the comer.
It was the woman with the big belly.
