Two hundred and eighty chapters of the bloody matrix

Xia Fei put away the chasing light and slowly walked towards the Sky Hook, "I just want to know one thing, how much benefit did Li Mo give you?" ”

The voice is not loud but has full penetrating power, people are either depressed in the predicament, or they will fight hard, Xia Fei just belongs to the latter, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not choose to give up.

The hook smiled without saying a word, and one hand tapped rhythmically on the seat, "Speaking of which, the person who contacted me does have something to do with Li Mo, as for whether he is he or not, you should know better than me, you are a smart person, you should know who you offended." ”

Sou

Suddenly, hundreds of beautiful pulsed lasers burst out from around Xia Fei, surrounding him in the middle, Xia Fei had seen this situation, the scorching temperature of the laser beam was not something he could resist, and he dispelled the idea of rushing with a glance with his eyes.

"By the way, I've always liked to watch people fight to the death, I heard that you are a high-level speed ability, and I will arrange the best fighter to duel with you later, if you win, you may be able to live for a while, which can be regarded as your last chance." Hook said with a smile.

Xia Fei was silent for a while, this game had obviously been laid out a long time ago, and he couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he had to take one step at a time.

The beautiful white marble floor suddenly parted in all directions, revealing an independent secret room below, and there was no place to stay around, so Xia Fei had no choice but to fall into it.

……

The walls of the underground passage were also sealed by heavy alloy, which could not be broken even if he chased the light, Xia Fei tried to no avail, and then walked forward.

"What are we going to do now?" The ghost asked eagerly.

"This is a game that has been designed by people a long time ago, and now we can only take one step at a time, I don't believe that everything is in his hands, as long as there are any flaws, we will try to get out of here." Xia Fei said.

"Do you want to inform the Shadow Killing Sect, after all, you are also an agent of the sect, and you are a bearer disciple of Shadowless, if the Crane Shadow Master Ancestor can't figure it out, he will really sell you face and send someone over." Ghost Shadow Road.

Xia Fei said: "I have already informed you just now. ”

"When? Why didn't I find out? ”

"When I took the light from the wall, you were looking around."

The ghost nodded, with Xia Fei's hand speed, he could indeed transmit information in an instant without being detected.

"The Shadow Killer Gate can only be regarded as a backup plan at best, and it will not be easy for them to get here, because even I don't know where this is."

"And what did you say?"

Xia Fei smiled slightly, but did not answer him, the ghost shadow was slightly dissatisfied, and followed Xia Fei forward in this underground passage.

The passage was very long, and Xia Fei tried to break through the wall along the way, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful.

The distance gradually brightened, life was boiling, and I don't know why they were so noisy.

Xia Fei curiously walked a few steps to the end of the passage, only to see that this was a huge circular field, the ground was heavy alloy, and the top of his head was sealed by a net interwoven by a laser emitter, and two shirtless warriors were fighting bloodily, and tens of thousands of spectators were eating popcorn while watching this cruel and bloody fight, immersed in it.

Many people were still waving a kind of small golden piece of paper in their hands, Xia Fei guessed that it should be a bet they placed on the duelist, looking at their hysterical appearance, they couldn't wait to go up and bite the enemy twice, of course, they didn't have the courage to fight with the enemy but loved to watch others entertain themselves with their lives.

Xia Fei suddenly remembered the ancient Roman gladiatorial arena, which was just more advanced here, and they were all the same insane in nature.

Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei stood by the laser fence to watch the duel between the two fighters, there were many similar fences on both sides, but the one where Xia Fei was located could lead to the hook's lair.

On the right-hand side stood a middle-aged man with a cold gaze, his tall body was bronzed, and his body was covered with scars, he held a peach in his hand, and he clicked and ate fruit as he watched.

"The fat one is going to win." The middle-aged man didn't look at Xia Fei either, and said to himself.

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "That's not necessarily. ”

The middle-aged man turned his head curiously and glanced at Xia Fei, and then continued to stare intently at the fierce fight on the field, "I still insist on my opinion, that thin man's left leg has been injured, and his movement speed has been greatly reduced, and a person will be powerless if his legs and feet are inconvenient to defend, you see, at this time, he has fallen behind." ”

Xia Fei said: "If you fall down, you don't necessarily have to lose, the thin man's eyes are full of fighting spirit, while the fat man is fighting for the sake of fighting, the two have different attitudes, and the ending may not follow a fixed pattern." ”

The middle-aged man sneered: "The thin man was only sent to the Bloody Matrix yesterday, assuming that he can live a few more days, his gaze will become the same as that of everyone else." ”

"If that's the case, even if the skinny loses, it's a win." Xia Fei said.

"What is the reason for this?"

"What is the point of living if a person is hopeless and becomes a walking corpse? Suppose the thin man loses, then he can die while his fighting spirit is not exhausted, and it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, on the contrary, the person who survives will continue to live a life that is worse than death, so losing is also considered a win. ”

The middle-aged man frowned, "So, no matter what the outcome is, this thin man has already won?" What do you call that? ”

"Truth." Xia Fei spit out a smoke ring and said.

The middle-aged man laughed, "Bullshit truth, I think you're obviously a crooked reason." ”

With that, he laughed and held out his right hand, which he just shook hands as it was through the laser fence.

"Butcher."

"Xia Fei."

The two shook hands strangely in the air, and they knew each other, Xia Fei withdrew his arm and continued to watch the game, and the fat man with the hood stabbed the thin man's shoulder blades, so that the ending was already doomed.

The fat man raised his arms and roared loudly to the sidelines, and tens of thousands of people shouted "kill him, kill him" in unison at this moment

The thin man fell to the ground, his face as dead as ashes.

……

Like a rehearsed script, the huge warriors showed off their abilities to the fullest, exaggerated the posture of the victor, and then cut off the loser's head with a knife in his hand, and tens of thousands of spectators were satisfied and retreated with laughter in the spray of blood several meters high.

Xia Fei sat cross-legged on the ground, smoking cigarettes one after another, "That fat man is very excited, didn't he think that one day he would also be cut off by someone." ”

The butcher said disapprerovingly: "Everyone here understands, but if you can eat a hearty meal according to it, you have just arrived, and if you are hungry for a few days, you will know that a loaf of bread is far more important than a few human lives, and as for dignity and glory, it is all bullshit." ”

Xia Fei didn't say anything, in this kind of place, the bestiality of human beings was exposed, and any exposure of reason and morality was just a few useless empty words.

"We'll fight each other later." Xia Fei said lightly.

The butcher glanced at the chasing light and the space ring on Xia Fei's body, "Your things are good, I will keep them for you." ”

"Thank you." Xia Fei said: "I thought the butcher would be such a murderous guy just by listening to the name, but I didn't expect you to maintain your sanity in such a place." ”

The butcher shook his head, "Crazy people are long dead, it's because I'm sober enough to live today, of course, I'll be crazier than anyone else when I need to be crazy, it's just that it's time to rest, I don't need it." ”

The butcher looked up at the sun in the sky with longing eyes, and freedom was like a life-saving potion for him in deep confinement, out of reach.

"I also walked out of that passage like you back then, the hook room is very good, no one can escape from it, you are not the first to be lured here by him, but I haven't seen anyone framed for many years and still remain calm, maybe that's why I told you so much." The butcher said.

Xia Fei laughed a few times self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I am not the first to be yin, shouldn't I be happy." ”

The butcher said: "I don't care what you think, I only know one thing, tonight's will be a life-and-death duel, you and I can only have one person who can survive, I don't think anyone will give up the chance to survive, it's nice to know you, but now it should stop there, I promise, you will have a good ending, although not necessarily decent, but I will at least let you end happily." ”

With that, the butcher stood up and walked over to his bed, which was just a narrow alloy bed, slightly better than the others' beds, because of the green military blanket on it.

Xia Fei thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "I think you shouldn't be able to sleep now, I will die in your hands anyway, why don't you talk to me about hooks more." ”

The butcher turned over and turned his back to Xia Fei, "You're wrong, even if it's the end of the world, I can still sleep, besides, there is a monitoring system here, it's no good to talk more, you're going to die, but I still need to live." ”

Xia Fei lit a cigarette and said, "Isn't beer enough to make you sleep for a few minutes?" ”

The butcher was slightly stunned, "Hehe, I really can't refuse a bottle of beer." ”

……

It's ridiculous, a man nicknamed Butcher is as calm as a surgeon, and what's even more ridiculous is that two people who are about to fight to the death actually share a bottle of beer a few hours before the decisive battle.

Xia Fei had just been locked up, and the equipment and rings on his body had not yet been taken away, so there was still a lot of food, he opened a bottle of beer and then covered the mouth of the bottle with his hand and shook it vigorously a few times, and when he released a gap, the golden beer liquid would gush out.

The butcher grows his mouth through the laser fence, greedily devouring every drop of liquid, although most of it will be burned into a mist by the laser, but there will still be a small part of it that falls into the butcher's mouth.

Wiping his mouth with his sleeve, the butcher laughed and said, "I haven't drunk beer for many years, I didn't expect to be able to enjoy it today, is there any?" Come again"

……

The hook sat in his place, and Xia Fei and the butcher's every move was in his eyes.

"Master Hook, the butcher and Xia Fei seem to get along very well, do you want to separate them, if it affects the quality of tonight's game, it will not be good." Hook's subordinate said.

Hook smiled slightly: "What do you know, the better they get along, the more enjoyable it is to fight desperately, I like this taste of life and death, but it's a pity, if there is time, let them get along for a few more days, and then let them fight like their own brothers, then it's called enjoyable, but it's a pity that the above is a little urgent, otherwise it will definitely be a good show." ”

Hook's subordinates were speechless for a while, liking to watch brothers kill each other is really cruel enough, maybe it is because of this that Hook will be the boss, and he will always be just a small follower.

"Do you want to put away Xia Fei's weapon?" Hook's subordinate asked.

"No, you don't." The hook said disapprerovingly, "Can he still break through the laser defense array?" Just let him stay two more days. ”

"What Master Hook said is that our laser defense array was configured at a great expense back then, and the number of unjust souls buried under this defense array over the years is innumerable, and Xia Fei will not have this ability." The subordinates hurriedly patted their ass.

The hook glared at him fiercely, "Bullshit, Lao Tzu spent so much money to build this bloody matrix, and those guys died unjustly at all."

……

After a few bottles of beer, the butcher still looked a little unsatisfied, but unfortunately Xia Fei didn't have any beer in his hand, he licked his lips and said: "Drinking your beer naturally satisfies your curiosity, if you have any questions, just ask, but if you want my subordinates to be merciful, forget it." ”

Xia Fei said: "I'm not so uninteresting, and besides, it's not necessarily who wins or loses in a real fight." I just got here, and I'm interested in hook things. ”

"Hook is his nickname, everyone here calls him Sky Hook, as for what his real name is, no one knows, as far as I know, he should be the biggest drug and entertainment supplier in the Alliance, and the people who live on this planet work for him, helping him produce and process drugs."

"Entertainment providers?" Xia Fei asked curiously: "Why is a drug dealer still hooked up with the entertainment industry?" That's weird. ”

The butcher pointed to the huge field outside, "Isn't this just entertainment?" What could be more exciting than watching people kill each other? It's called the Bloody Matrix, and the audience you see are actually insignificant characters who exist to add to the atmosphere. ”

"As long as you have money, you can watch the real fight here through the star network, of course, the signal is through multiple relays and encryption, no one can find this place through the signal, it can be said that the hook on this planet is God, no one can leave here, even if he takes you here and lets you leave, you still can't find it next time."

Starlink is like a highway, the toll station is only responsible for charging and will not care about what is in the car, so the use of starline network to spread all kinds of **, violent information is repeatedly banned, although Starlink will also investigate some unconventional communication content, but advanced encryption technology makes operators helpless.

Today's encryption algorithms are as high as 1.28 million, and it takes decades for even the most powerful supercomputers to crack a single algorithm, and by the time the algorithm is cracked, the unscrupulous ones have already replaced the stronger encryption system.

"No one has tried to escape in all these years?" Xia Fei asked.

"Of course there are people trying, people doing it every once in a while, but I don't know of anyone who has succeeded." The butcher said.

Xia Fei said: "No matter how powerful the laser is, it needs to be shot from the laser emitter, even if it can't destroy the laser itself, you can also try to destroy the laser emitter, and such a large system will often need maintenance." ”

The butcher said: "It's not that simple, the laser emitters are all hidden in the building, unless someone can destroy the thick alloy walls, how can they threaten the emitter, the Bloody Matrix system is divided into many different units, and maintenance will be carried out every few days, but the maintenance is only one unit, and the other units are still on, and it does not affect the defense." ”

"I don't know which company produced this system, the quality is a bit excessive, I have been here for a few years, except for normal maintenance, I have never seen any failures."

Xia Fei was silent for a while, so it was not easy to get out of here.

"There is also one more important thing is that the hearts are not aligned, at most times, the bloody matrix once contained thousands of warriors, and it is said that it is already a super force, but these people are not united with each other, and no one is willing to lead everyone to escape."

"There is no way to get out of here except for sacrifice, there needs to be a group of fighters to defeat the defense system at the cost of their lives first, and the rest have the possibility of escaping, unless someone is really willing to give their lives for the freedom of others, there is no chance." Tu Ying said.

"Thousands of warriors? Where did Hook get thousands of warriors to work for him? Xia Fei asked.

"Don't you understand that you've been to the hook's house? He will use a high salary or other things as bait, yin* some freedom fighters work for him, and when these people arrive on this planet, they will never think of leaving, even if your cultivation is high, he will not be afraid, he will pretend to invite you to a banquet, in the living room where you came, there are several hidden laser systems in the living room, as long as you enter any of them, you will be sent to this bloody matrix, even if you don't want to participate in the duel, you can't help it, because your opponents have long been numb, they just want to live a few more days by killing. ”

The butcher's voice was a little hoarse, and his gaze wandered.

Xia Fei said: "What you said should be your own experience, right?" ”

Tu Ying nodded, "Exactly." He smiled bitterly: "If it wasn't for my greed for money and the hook contract, why wouldn't it be like this." ”

Xia Fei remained silent, his fingers lightly traced a few words on the ground, the martial arts practitioner's eyes were keen, and Tu Ying soon noticed this unusualness.

Xia Fei tilted his head, as if he was extremely bored and scribbled on the ground, the butcher glanced at the font written by Xia Fei with his eyes, and saw that Xia Fei wrote like this, "There is monitoring, what I want to say next is very important, you have to read carefully." ”A！ ~！
