Chapter 7: The Killing Carnival (Part II)

In fact, the production level of the show "Killing Carnival" is not very high, compared with the judge's "trial show", the former has many flaws and clues in both the rules of the game and the live broadcast process; If the Federation really has the heart to investigate them, it will be able to solve the case in less than a week.

However, there is a reason why this show is more popular than the "Judgment Show...... In addition to the fact that the program is broadcast more frequently, more importantly, the "Killing Carnival" also opens a handicap to allow viewers to participate in the show through gambling.

In each episode of "Killing Carnival", the audience can bet on the outcome of this issue: you can choose one or more "prey" and buy him/them to survive in the end, or you can buy the total extinction ending; You can bet on the order in which the "prey" will die, and you can also bet on the specific time of death, for example, buy "who will die before what time"; In addition, the audience can even bet against the "Supreme One", for example, the Supreme One can propose a very bizarre method of death, and promise to execute it on such and such a prey before what time, and the audience can bet on whether they will succeed or not.

If "Xuduluo Mountain" is to let people get vent through narrow justice, then "killing carnival" is directly pleasing the darkness hidden in people's hearts.

It is the same as seeing others suffering, seeing wicked people who have nothing to do with themselves being punished, and seeing ordinary people who have nothing to do with themselves but are similar to themselves being toyed with...... That state of mind is naturally different.

The former, satisfying your conscience, and the latter, teasing your instincts.

Your conscience doesn't ask you too often, and it doesn't ask too much, but your instincts are different......

It's like watching a horror movie, when you see the characters in the movie being tortured and killed, your instinct will inevitably make you feel a little lucky, even a little happy; Because...... Human beings, as creatures, will feel more real when they witness the death of their own kind. The clearer, more real, and stronger this process of "witnessing" is, the more obvious that feeling will be.

"Killing Carnival" is to serve people's instinct, so it is undoubtedly a dark web murder show that is more in line with the public's taste.

…………

Coming down from the rooftop, Hull found himself in an abandoned apartment building.

The place where the building was located was very strange, and when he looked from the rooftop, Hull noticed that the building was surrounded by woods, and the lights of the city could not be seen at a glance; He speculated...... It may have been a staff dormitory building built near the site of a remote factory, but it is undoubtedly deserted now.

Not surprisingly, there was no electricity in the building, and Hull could only rely on moonlight through the hallway window.

Many of the doors to the adjacent hallways were open or hidden, but none of them were well lit, and Hull, who had no lighting in hand, did not intend to search the dark and strangely musty rooms.

Even if he could guess, he could know that there were several cameras watching him in the shadows around the corners, but in this environment, it was unlikely that he would find them one by one and remove them one by one, so he had to give up.

All Hull wanted to do now was get out of the building as quickly as possible, walk through the woods, find a road, and hurry back to civilization, away from this damn show.

In this way, he groped all the way to the stairs, and then walked down the stairs.

Just as he walked to the fourth floor, he suddenly ......

Tutu Tutu –

The sound of a motor suddenly sounded behind him.

Hel was startled and turned his head suddenly, and at that moment, with a "boom", a figure wearing a beast mask and holding a chainsaw appeared on the high steps only five meters away from Hull.

"Ahh When Hull saw this, his scalp was numb with fright, and he screamed, turned his head and ran.

Originally, he was cautious, not fast or slow, but at this moment he almost grabbed the handrail of the stairs and ran wildly.

When the masked "Supreme One" saw this, he just sneered and chased after him quickly; Unlike Hull, he has a night vision device under his mask that allows him to see clearly in the dark, so he can move quickly even with a chainsaw in hand.

Faced with this kind of hunt that seems to be a horror movie, Hull panicked like most ordinary people, only knew how to follow the instinctive action of fear, and fled in the direction away from the other party almost without thinking.

So, he inevitably ...... Caught in the trap.

"Ahh

When he reached the steps on the second floor, Hull felt a chill on the soles of his feet, followed by a palpable throbbing pain that made him groan.

He thought quickly...... He must have stepped on something like a triangular nail, and there was more than one, but the sound of a chainsaw approaching from behind him made him have no time to care about it, so he could only endure the pain and continue to move forward knowing that he couldn't see the way forward.

Finally, after seven or eight nails in the soles of his feet, Hull, who was already weak in his legs, could not bear the severe pain and rolled down the stairs.

The last step up the first floor, he had finished, and as he instinctively covered his head with his hands, his torso and legs had been pierced with a dozen wounds by triangular nails; These wounds are shallow and deep, light and severe, but fortunately they are not fatal, but they are not painful.

Regardless, the scarred Hull managed to make it to the first floor, where he could walk to avoid stepping on the nails, and it wasn't too far from the building's exit.

So, gritting his teeth, he got up from the ground, endured the throbbing pain of the soles of his feet, and ran out of the door of the building with quick steps, and came to the open space outside the building.

It was only when the moonlight sprinkled on his face and the fresh air poured into his lungs that he realized it...... The sound of chainsaws behind him was gone.

Even so, Hull ran into the grove on the edge of the clearing, glancing alarmingly at the exit of the building before proceeding to dispose of the nails on his body.

It took him three minutes to pull out the triangular nails that had been left on him; When you pull out those nails from the soles of your feet...... It was especially painful because the nails had been the deepest, and several had already hurt the bones.

Hull endured the pain and did not dare to speak, but the curse in his heart was loud and loud.

And with this anger comes ...... It's remorse.

He did regret that if he had been a little more guarded earlier, he would not have fallen into this situation if he had not let the woman get into the car, or drank two less sips of the drink given by the other party.

Because the other party is a woman, she let down her guard, because the other party is beautiful, she loses her square inch, and because the other party shows favor to herself, she thinks crankily...... Like most people who are not popular with women, Hull is easily deceived by women, but he never learns his lesson; He had suffered a lot of similar losses before, but this time the result was a bit too serious.

At the thought of this, Hull's remorse quickly turned into shame, which then turned into even stronger anger.

Unfortunately, as before, he could only be angry and could not do anything.

At this moment, Hull couldn't help but feel ...... Maybe he was wrong, all the thoughts of being superhuman in the past three days are just wishful thinking and self-righteousness, he is still the same Hel Schneider, an ordinary office worker...... No, now he is an ordinary vagrant.

Not even a clever ride-hailing scam can be spotted; In the face of violence, it is difficult to resist and protect oneself; I know that I am being played with as a "prey", but I can only do some struggles...... A series of frustrations and powerlessness made Hull psychologically beaten back to his archetype.

Just as he was sitting on the ground and feeling sorry for himself, suddenly! An unbelievable thing happened.

"Hull." A voice changer sounded from behind Hull.

Hull didn't even realize that someone was approaching him, but when he turned his head, a man in a red robe and a Peking Opera mask was already standing behind him.

"Judgment...... Judge ......" Hull was so surprised that he couldn't even say a word, he didn't even think that the judge would be here in person.

The judge didn't intend to listen to his stammering waste of time, and said directly: "There was a little accident...... he paused for half a second, "I have already arranged a game today, and I want to 'test' you, but I didn't expect it...... You guy was suddenly fired from the unit, and then he ran to the suburbs talking to himself, and happened to be caught by a group of very low-level guys. ”

"You...... Are you here to save me? Hull was so excited that she almost cried.

"Of course not." But the judge's answer made his heart sink again, "You're not my subordinate yet, besides...... None of my subordinates have the kind of waste that their first instinct is to turn to someone else. ”

Hull was speechless and unable to refute.

"However, my original plan fell through, which made me a little unhappy." In the next second, the judge changed his words, "Moreover, this show called 'Killing Carnival' has long been a little annoying to me, but because they have nothing to do with me, I ignored them." But today...... Whether intentionally or unintentionally, if they actually mess up my game, then I will naturally not be indifferent. ”

At this point, the judge took something out of his robe and threw it in front of Hull.

Hull looked down and saw that it was a translucent plastic box with a syringe inside.

"This injection can help you relieve pain, speed up blood clotting, and prevent most infections and tetanus, just stick it in your neck." Two seconds later, the judge continued, "By the way, I'll give you another hint - the more passive you are, the more you don't follow other people's train of thought......" he shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, "Huh...... Unless, of course, that person is me. ”

With that, the judge turned away, as if to leave.

"Wait...... Wait a minute! Hull was stunned for a moment, then quickly spoke, "You...... If you don't plan to save me, why do you want to help me? ”

"Think for yourself." Before the judge could finish his sentence, his figure had disappeared into the shade of the trees.

Hull didn't think about it for too long, and came to a conclusion - if you don't want to be treated as waste, then don't always think about letting others save you, and think about how to "save yourself" in advance.

"I still have a chance to ......," Hull began to hint to himself in his mind, "to prove myself by surviving the 'killing spree' and winning that big prize...... In this way, the judge will still consider letting me join, he must mean this! That's why he's going to help me! Even in the end, Xudu Luoshan still didn't accept me, for his own ...... I'm going to win too! ”

Determined, Hull immediately picked up the needle on the ground, turned his head sideways, pricked it into his neck, and pushed all the liquid from the syringe into his body.

He did not have any doubts about the "help" of the judge - to put it bluntly, there was no point in doubting.

At this moment, Hull has no choice, he carries this injury, not only will his physical strength and mobility be significantly reduced, but the constant blood loss will also leave traces along the way, and his consciousness will be blurred.

If you want to turn the tables in this desperate situation, this needle must be pierced, even if the judge now tells him that "there is a 50% chance that you may die if this needle is pricked", Hull will have to try, because if you don't pierce it, you will die 100%.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Hull, who had been injected with the potion, felt a noticeable change in his body; Although his wounds had not healed, those bleeding spots had condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the pain all over his body had been relieved to a considerable extent, and even his headache was better.

At this point, calming down a lot, he made a decision that surprised even himself a little - he wanted to go back to the building to get something.
