Chapter 438: Despair After Regaining Hope
Fortunately, Wan Yongcheng made a choice in time, so Ma Hui did not suffer any other injuries except for the strangulation marks squeezed out after the twisting and contraction of the iron cage.
After briefly checking the injuries on her body, Ma Hui responded to Wan Yongcheng: "It's okay, it's okay, thanks to you, I'm okay for the time being." ”
After confirming that Ma Hui was okay for the time being, Wan Yongcheng breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly his legs went weak and sat on the ground.
Ma Hui is okay for the time being, but Ma Hui's failure in the game is also a fact, if you can't think of any way to save Ma Hui, if the game mechanism will punish Ma Hui in the next round, I'm afraid there will be no such lucky thing, simply made a multiple-choice question, and directly saved Ma Hui's life.
So the top priority at the moment is to either find a way to completely save Ma Hui from fire and water, or find a clue to clear the customs as soon as possible.
Wan Yongcheng pondered, maybe as long as Ma Hui found a way to clear the customs before Ma Hui accepted the punishment, maybe Ma Hui would not need to accept the punishment.
Thinking so in his head, Wan Yongcheng became more and more helpless, and directly panicked from the ground, and without saying a word, he directly began to search for clues nearby.
This search took more than half an hour, and Wan Yongcheng still didn't find anything, but the most worrying thing happened again.
The cage that imprisoned Ma Hui actually began to shrink for the second time, and compared with before, the speed of contraction this time was significantly faster.
At the same time, the words suspended in front of Wan Yongcheng's eyes appeared out of thin air.
It's a multiple-choice question, and this time the time in Wan Yongcheng is only forty-five seconds.
In other words, after Wan Yongcheng reads the multiple-choice question, he may have to make a choice directly, which should be forty-five seconds, and there may not be much time for thinking at all.
After glancing at the countdown of the multiple-choice questions, Wan Yongcheng devoted himself to the multiple-choice questions.
But after Wan Yongcheng read the multiple choice items of this time, Wan Yongcheng was stunned instantly, because this time the choice items were: 1, do nothing, and watch his teammates accept the punishment moment; 2. Spend an hour of your own time in exchange for twenty minutes of freedom for your teammates; 3. Press this option to kill teammates directly and get an extra 10 hours of gameplay.
"This ...... What the hell is this? Wan Yongcheng couldn't believe the choice he saw with his own eyes, no matter which option he chosen, it was not the best ending.
The first two don't need to look at it, it must be a hundred harms and no benefits, whether you do it yourself or not, it won't do you any good, and the third brother's option is different, although if you press the option directly, Ma Hui will die on the spot, but he can disappear in many places.
On the contrary, if he saves Ma Hui, not only will it take him an hour, but Ma Hui can't enjoy the same time freedom, he can only exchange an hour for twenty minutes of freedom, if he can't find a way to clear the customs within these twenty minutes, then Wan Yongcheng's own hour will be wasted, and Ma Hui will still not be able to escape the fate of being punished at that time, so this is obviously not the best choice.
Standing in front of interests and humanity, in front of the short game countdown, Wan Yongcheng, who fell into deep thought, felt that he was being wrapped in darkness, and no matter which one he chose, he seemed to be sorry for his conscience.
At the same time, Ma Hui, who was trapped in the iron cage, was in a hurry, because the iron cage was constantly shrinking, and if Wan Yongcheng on the ground didn't make a choice quickly, he would be squeezed to death by the iron cage again.
In the face of death, Ma Hui couldn't hold back again, and yelled at Wan Yongcheng on the ground: "What are you doing? Isn't there an option? Either way, you might as well choose one! ”
However, Ma Hui didn't know that the current Wan Yongcheng is facing the test of interests and human nature, and the choice seems simple, as long as you press it lightly, but behind the choice, you have to go through how much mental journey.
Looking at the choice in front of him, Wan Yongcheng didn't do anything, but the beads of sweat on his forehead kept falling down his cheeks, and Wan Yongcheng, who was anxious, turned pale, and he didn't know what choice to make at all.
Time passed minute by minute, and the iron cage was once again stuck to the surface of Ma Hui's body, but the time left for Wan Yongcheng to choose was less than the last ten seconds.
"Wan Yongcheng ......" was constantly squeezed by the iron cage, Ma Hui couldn't even use the strength to shout loudly, and could only look at Wan Yongcheng on the ground, hoping that he could save himself.
However, Wan Yongcheng gritted his teeth and looked at the choice in front of him, anxious to call a gritted tooth, as the countdown was about to end, Wan Yongcheng slowly raised his heavy arm, raised his fingers between 1 and 3 choices, it was difficult to choose.
With the countdown returning to zero second by second, Wan Yongcheng's heart couldn't bear this huge pressure at all, and directly let out an "ah", roared, and waved his arm violently, pressing directly towards the selection in front of him.
“……”
At this moment, it seems that the world is quiet.
Immediately afterwards, the countdown time above Wan Yongcheng's head changed from the remaining 02:27:45 to 01:27:45.
At the same time, the iron cage that imprisoned Ma Hui also "boomed", returned to its original state, and slowly fell from the sky.
The iron cage also disappeared out of thin air the moment it leaned against the ground.
"Poof!"
Only Ma Hui was left with a confused face, and sat directly on the ground.
couldn't believe what was happening in front of her, Ma Hui even had a feeling of being in the environment, and hurriedly shaved her ear.
"Ah......h
Realizing that she could still feel the pain, Ma Hui's face was filled with an excited smile.
However, after a short period of excitement, Ma Hui immediately returned to reality, and her brain immediately began to analyze why she was rescued.
After a simple thought, Ma Hui knew that the game would never let go of any player who failed in the game for no reason, that is, after contacting Wan Yongcheng's difficult choice in the face of multiple choice questions just now, Ma Hui learned that the reason why he was able to regain his freedom was that Wan Yongcheng must have chosen an option that might compromise his own interests.
And in this level, time is the level of life, and the only thing that can be used as a quid pro quo may only be time.
In order to confirm, Ma Hui immediately walked in front of Wan Yongcheng, looked at Wan Yongcheng who was full of loss, and after seeing Ma Hui, he just grinned slowly and said, "It's great that you are alive!" After that, he sat on the ground with physical and mental exhaustion, as if just now, Wan Yongcheng had experienced a strenuous exercise, and his whole body was soaked.
"Wan Yong City...... Your time ......"
At the same time, after Ma Hui noticed the time on Wan Yongcheng's head, she suddenly felt her chest shrink suddenly.
It stands to reason that less than an hour should have passed after he was trapped in the iron cage, but now the time in Wan Yongcheng is less than an hour and a half, which means that the time in Wan Yongcheng disappeared for an hour for no reason.
"Do you mean ......?"
Ma Hui hurriedly touched her head, but she couldn't touch anything at all, because the countdown device on their head was absolutely untouchable to humans.
Just when Ma Huiren was puzzled, Wan Yongcheng sighed: "I'm sorry, an hour can only be exchanged for twenty minutes of your time, so in these twenty minutes, we must go all out to find a way to clear the customs, otherwise if this situation occurs again next time, I really don't know if I can make such a choice." ”
Ma Hui's whole heart was sour when she heard this, she didn't expect Wan Yongcheng to spend an hour in exchange for her twenty minutes of freedom, I'm afraid that except for Wan Yongcheng, there is no one else who can do this for others when they enter the game.
However, what Ma Hui didn't know was that not only did Wan Yongcheng spend an hour of his time in exchange for his twenty minutes of freedom, but Wan Yongcheng even gave up the gain of ten hours of game time as long as he killed Ma Hui.
Maybe Wan Yongcheng couldn't figure out why he did this, but Wan Yongcheng knew that if he killed Ma Hui here today, then even if he could successfully leave the game, he would be haunted by guilt for the rest of his life.
"Can an hour only be exchanged for twenty minutes?"
Ma Hui fantasized about looking at the countdown on her head from the third person, and it took an hour to find a way to clear the level here.
After all, twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and there were still many places in the huge iron cage that had not had time to be searched, and twenty minutes alone really didn't make any difference.
But even so, Ma Hui couldn't live up to the twenty minutes that Wan Yongxiang exchanged for an hour for himself, so Ma Hui still cooperated with Wan Yongcheng, desperately trying to cherish these twenty minutes and look for clues to clear the customs in the game.
But just when Ma Hui felt that her warm-up had just finished and was about to search with all her might, the disappeared brain sound actually appeared in Ma Hui and Wan Yongcheng's minds again.
"Ma Hui's playtime is over!"
The moment she heard the voice of her brain, Ma Hui suddenly felt a chill coming from all sides of her body.
After looking up at the countdown on Wan Yongcheng's head, Ma Hui found that the countdown on Wan Yongcheng's head had changed from the original 01:27:45 to 01:7:36.
The twenty minutes that Wan Yongcheng exchanged for Ma Hui had passed unconsciously.
Therefore, Ma Hui must be held in an iron cage again, waiting for the suffocating moment of punishment.
"Huh...... Hehe......"
If the first despair does not break a person, then the despair that is faced again after regaining hope can definitely break the strong will of a determined person from the root.
After being imprisoned in an iron cage for the second time, Ma Hui felt what is called despair in despair.
Ma Hui had never seen such a form of punishment before, maybe such a form of punishment, such a level, it might be customized for Ma Hui alone.
