Chapter 2: The Unpredictable Heart
The baboon man completely ignored my feelings, and said the first question evenly: "There is a pair of sisters who were kidnapped by gangsters, locked in a closed basement, and suffered for a long time, suddenly one day, my sister didn't know how to break free from the chains and escaped with my sister, but as soon as I opened the iron door, I bumped into the vicious gangsters, and in the end only my sister ran out, how did she do it?" β
I held my breath as I followed the words he had described, and a simulated image appeared in my mind.
"Closed basement...... Tortured for a long time....... Even if my sister is lucky enough to break free from the chain, how did my sister break free from the chain, and how did the iron door open......."
This question is not ordinarily difficult, but fortunately, I usually like to read all kinds of detective novels, so I quickly thought of a possibility after thinking about it, and replied categorically: "My sister didn't run out at all!" β
"Oh? How so? The baboon man made a deaf gesture.
"Both sisters are locked in a closed basement, and they have been suffering psychologically and physically for a long time, and if there was a way to break free from the chains, my sister would have done it a long time ago, in other words, all this is just a scene imagined by my sister, and it may be mentally abnormal to be subjected to inhuman abuse in this environment."
"When a person is afraid, he will subconsciously send a distress signal to someone close to him, and the closest thing to her is her sister, so it is her sister who saves her instead of her saving her sister, and then speculate in the dark, my sister may have been tortured to death by gangsters, and my sister was crazy at that time, only when my sister died, her body could leave the shackles of the chain, and my sister subconsciously knew that her sister was dead, so she was the only one who ran out......"
I don't know if I'm right or not, so I can only finish the possibilities I thought of in one breath within the allotted time, and then look up at him.
The baboon man was silent for a few seconds and then laughed rarely: "Very interesting explanation, you have studied psychology?" β
"A little bit of it, is that the right answer?" I smirked, it seems that this company should not trade organs at the moment, otherwise there is no need to make this show.
"There is no standard answer, as long as I feel right, that is the answer." The baboon man's words were a bit of a pretense, but I couldn't refute it.
"I am very satisfied with your answer, Mr. Zhang, congratulations on passing the first level, now, please close your eyes......."
When I opened my eyes again, I saw the white paper man and two other interviewees, one was a bucktooth man, and the other was a bald uncle, and their expressions were almost the same as mine, full of black question marks.
"There are three less interviewers, did you leave early?"
Noticing that there were fewer people around, I whispered to the interviewer, and the white paper man's eyes on his chin blinked strangely twice: "Those three people were eliminated in the first link and have gone where they should go." β
After saying that, his mouth on his forehead ripped out in an eerie arc.
"Where to go......." Seeing that three of the six white candles on the table had been extinguished, I instinctively felt that this candle had some connection to our bodies.
"Congratulations to the three of you for successfully passing the first level, the second part is very simple, watch your performance."
The white paper man shook his hand, and there were three more square water glasses in his palm, and he poured half of the green liquid into each of the three water glasses, which looked a bit like a matcha milkshake, but I knew that it was definitely not a good thing.
"One of these three cups is filled with venom, which is not very toxic, just enough to kill an adult, that is to say, one of the three of you will definitely be eliminated."
As soon as the white paper man's voice fell, the bald uncle's face sank, and he rudely spat on the ground: "Neurotic, do you really think of yourself as black and white?" Lao Tzu didn't have time to entertain you, so he withdrew. β
With that, he turned and was about to walk up the steps.
"Whew~"
There was no superfluous movement, the white paper man just blew lightly on a certain candle on the table, the candle flame was extinguished instantly, and the light of the space dimmed again.
"Humanβgone?" The bucktoothed man exclaimed, and his calves began to tremble, he didn't see the scene that had just happened, but I was engrossed in seeing some clues.
As the white paper man blew out the candle, a black object appeared from where the bald uncle was standing, wrapped around his feet, and pulled him under the black ground in the blink of an eye, as if it had disappeared into thin air.
"That black thing seems to be ....... One hand! β
Looking at the white candle that had just been extinguished, I remembered the story told by the old people in the countryside about the ghost blowing the lamp, and my heart was even more puzzled.
"It can't be a ghost, there are no ghosts in the world, it must be some kind of agency, these candidates may also be To, in order to scare me? I don't know there's a camera hidden in a corner. β
At the beginning, the blank paper man said that their company is engaged in movies, and it is not surprising that there are some special props, and maybe he wants to interview job seekers in this way, as the so-called there are no ghosts in the world, and there are demons hidden in his heart.
Thinking of this, I was relieved, and my nervousness gradually relaxed.
"It is necessary for me to remind that venom is not in a fixed cup, and the first person to drink it will be poisoned, that is, whoever drinks it first will die!" The man on the white paper took a cup: "You only have two minutes to decide who drinks first, and if you fail the interview overtime, you will bear the consequences." β
"No limit to the way, no limit to the means." The baboon man added a sentence in a strange tone.
The psychological quality of the bucktooth man is relatively low, his shoulders are high and low, he trembles faintly, his nostrils expand outward, and his teeth are clenched very tightly, these micro-expressions show that his nerves are very tight.
Once the nerves are tightened, the brain is prone to losing reason and basic judgment.
For example, he took out a 20-centimeter-long switchblade, and the tag on the handle was still there, presumably he bought it temporarily on the road.
At this moment, he pointed the tip of his knife at me: "Drink quickly!" β
"Brother, don't get excited, you have something to say." I also pulled out the German electric baton behind my waist and pressed the switch, and the blue electricity danced in the air like a snake letter, full of momentum.
"There are 50 seconds left."
The man on the white paper looked at us in front of him for a long time, and did not forget to remind us of the time.
"Listen to me, I have a compromise to make sure we're both okay." Seeing that the bucktooth man's green tendons were bulging, and he was in a posture of wanting to play with me, I hurriedly spoke out to appease me.
My method is simple, pour the liquid from the two cups together and then redistribute it, and finally we drink it at the same time.
The man on the white paper said that venom is only the dose that poisons one person, and it stands to reason that as long as two people divide the venom equally, no one will die.
"Good, good."
As soon as we finished drinking, the baboon man let out a weird laugh, and he was always in the center, and from this point of view, he was probably the boss of the white paper man.
"I've seen a lot of interlopers, some want to run, some kill each other, and some plot to hurt others, the dark side of human nature is vividly revealed in this link, you are not the first person to propose this idea, but you are the only one who dares to do so." The baboon man's tone was very appreciative to me, and after finishing speaking, he swept his empty eyes towards the bucktooth man: "It's so uncomfortable, spit it out." β
"Poofβ"
Brother Bucktooth's throat arched, and the green juice flowed to the ground, and when he saw that I was squinting at him, he gestured apologetically to me.
"The heart is sinister." I really didn't expect him to take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, I still have a high opinion of human nature......
