Chapter 14: Is This the End?
"I'm too old to drink." John replied faintly.
As soon as the voice fell......
A memory came back to me.
After a few experiences, I was able to get used to the feeling...... So John just snorted.
In my memory, John was embracing a woman.
"My dear...... You've got to hold on......" John said softly, but he knew it was useless, and a grief seemed to spread from the body of the man in his arms to his heart, and he couldn't even convince himself.
It is a kind of good life that is being built, and the moment the infrastructure is completed, the despair of collapse in an instant, and the future is also gloomy.
"One more thing, I have to tell you...... I had cancer, right in my brain, and there was no way to do it, and in fact, I seemed to have found a viable treatment, but the medical fund was all rejected, and I didn't get a penny, and the treatment I was talking about, I couldn't do it...... So ......"
These words echoed in John's mind, but he still didn't say them.
remembers that many years ago, he and his wife promised not to cheat each other and get through the difficulties together, but, looking at the woman in his arms, John finally chose to deceive.
He said, "Don't be sad, everything will be fine." ”
However, it will not get better anymore, one's life is a train of thought, if the despair brought by fate is inevitable, then why add another scar to despair.
He hugged the man in his arms tightly.
"Yes, it's going to be fine." The woman finally picked up the last bit of strength, and she looked up.
That face...... It's Jill......
John looked up in shock, he looked at the other side of the table, Jill who was still immersed in pain, trying his best to hide the shock in his heart...... This is the first time since the beginning of the game that John has shown something other than indifference.
She...... Is it your own wife?
......
......
At the same time, William's memory.
A dimly lit room with the smell of stale rust from everything around.
He remembered that he seemed to be fixed to a huge machine, his hands and ankles firmly handcuffed with steel and stretched in four directions into a large letter. His nose and mouth were covered by a medical respirator mask.
And not far in front of it, there is an old TV .....
"Where is this? Why am I here? In his memory, William began to panic uncontrollably.
At that moment, the TV in front of me turned on.
An old man over half a hundred years old, wearing a robe with a black exterior but a bright red lining, appeared on the television screen.
This person...... It was John.
"Hello, William, maybe you've thought about when we'll meet again....... Just today. John whispered, his face visibly paler than he had remembered in the previous episode.
"No———" William began to roar, he clearly knew what his situation at the moment meant, because he remembered that the killer [Jigsaw] who had caused the whole city to panic recently, was the person in front of him.
The sound in the picture continues.
"Over the years, you have to compensate for the probability formula, which has affected the fate of many people, the healthy people benefit, and the sick people have been unfairly denied claims, but your theory does not take into account the human desire to win, in the face of death, 'those who should live' and 'those who can survive' are two completely different concepts, today, your theory will be tested, because ...... I want to play a game with you......"
"No ———!!" William suddenly woke up, this short memory made him sweat, he would never have imagined that the old man who was rejected by himself and looked extremely weak turned out to be a murderous maniac who terrified the whole city!
Oh, my God!
An irrepressible fear sprung up in William's heart, and he scarcely dared to look John in the eye, for he wondered if John had already known what a terrible figure he was......
But fortunately, because he found that John's attention seemed to be locked on Jill at this moment...... Could it be that he and Jill have something in common?
No matter what, now is not the time to think about this, William just wants to hide this memory as much as possible. After all, it's stupid to make a murderer remember that he is a murderer.
"Do you guys remember anything?" Jill seemed to sense something strange in the air, and she asked, looking up.
"Oh, I remember some, but...... Just a little thing. John replied lightly, just like he remembered himself, he didn't choose to tell his wife about it.
William also quickly pretended to rub his head: "Mm-yes, it's just a little thing, I remember that I was swimming in the sea, and then there was a big wave." Uh- I mean, let's hurry up and start the next round. ”
John looked at William and was silent for a moment......
"Okay, now I'll talk about my rules." He said: "This game is over here. ”
"What?"
William and Jill were stunned for a moment.
"As I said, there is no point in this game, and believe me, if you play to the end, what you pay will definitely be much more painful than the wish that can be fulfilled. So, from now on, it's up to me to take over. ”
As he spoke, John turned his head to look at Jill, "You want to get out of this ridiculous game, do you?" ”
Jill nodded blankly.
"Okay, now, you and I join forces, follow my instructions, exchange William's organs one by one, we can start with the eyes."
"What!" As soon as these words came out, William was taken aback: "Why do you want to do this, if you are just for the insurance thing......"
"Quiet, I'm not done yet." John calmly interrupted William's words: "I don't want to settle the grudge between us with you, even if I want to settle the score, not in this way I don't like it...... Maybe you've figured out that now, our chips are the same. ”
William looked down, and sure enough, the number of chips, and the organs represented in them, were exactly the same. This can't help but surprise me incomparably, could it be that this old man has been calculating from the beginning, and this game has been playing until now, and he is following his established route?
John's words continued......
"From now on, I'll buy your organs one by one, and you, you can use your chips to offset them, so you won't get any damage, so we'll both use up all our chips...... According to the rules, when we don't have chips, we can't play cards, and those who can't play cards are eliminated, so when the next round starts, the game will end in a draw and everyone will leave safely. ”
"Of course, you don't have to take my word for it, after all, the reward of 'granting a wish' is still very tempting, but I have to emphasize that I am not asking for your opinion, but commanding, because if you break this rule when you are in a certain exchange, for example, you want to put your chips ahead so that you don't redeem your organs...... You're a smart person, and you should know what the consequences are. ”
