Chapter 5: The Hive (Part II)

I paused the video and was covered in a cold sweat.

At this point in the video, I couldn't sit back in my chair anymore anyway - I had seen a murder alive, and it was likely to continue to happen!

What shocked me even more was that Xu Wen actually appeared in the video!

Could it be that everything that happens in the video is the so-called "mega jackpot man-wolf game"?

But why would I want to put a disc engraved with video content on it on my grocery store?

Things came so fast that for a moment I had to tell myself over and over again: you need to calm down.

If you think about it carefully, there are about three problems.

First, what is happening in the video, exactly?

Second, when was the recording time of the video?

Thirdly, why are the video discs being delivered to me?

I quickly glanced at the time, it was 2 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Yesterday morning, Xu Wen and I talked about the million dollar bonus game, and according to the information given to me by Xu Wen's parents, Xu Wen was still in the hospital from last night until the last round of the doctor on duty at 10 o'clock in the evening, that is to say, the time of video recording may be between the second half of last night and midnight today (the room in the video is dark, and the inference from the natural light source to judge the approximate time point cannot be carried out).

Obviously, except for the second question, which has a general period of time to speculate, the other two questions, with the current clues, I cannot draw any conclusions, and I do not even suspect the direction.

I could only keep watching the video, even if I didn't want to see Xu Wen or any innocent person harmed, because it was my only source of information at the moment.

I reined in my emotions, sat back down in front of the computer, moved my mouse and clicked the "Continue Playing" button.

The video continues to play.

……

"You're the last one, aren't you?" The man said, he actually sat cross-legged on the blood-stained concrete floor, he put the short knife in his hand on the ground, and the palm on the short knife swayed from side to side, "It's not time to be nervous yet, sit down." ”

"Sit...... Sit down? ”

"Why, do you want me to talk to you with my head up?"

"I didn't mean that...... Okay, okay. ”

Xu Wen sat down.

Since the only light source in the room was the flashlight that was lying flat on the ground, and the light column of the flashlight was always aimed at the girl's body on the ground, I could only see Xu Wen's back and half of the man's side face.

I used to think that the man would be older, but now it seems that he is only about 30 years old at most, but his voice is a little too vicissitudes. The man was wearing a gray shirt, navy blue jeans, short stray hair, dark skin, and fierce eyes.

Xu Wen seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still spoke: "You...... I just said that I was the last person, does that mean that I am the last person to join the game? After me, won't there be any new people joining? ”

"How many people are out there?"

"Three."

"That's it."

"So, you were voted in too? Because you've seen the four people out there, and I'm a stranger. ”

After Xu Wen's words were finished, the man's eyes looking at Xu Wen changed: "It's a little interesting." What else do you know? Let's talk about it. ”

Xu Wen swallowed and continued: "I noticed a loophole in the rules, or rather, found another way to end the game. ”

The man sneered, noncommittal.

"There were two rooms, ours and the outside. If you count the dead on the earth, there are six of us. The rule is that people in the outside room must elect one person at a time - if there is a tie vote, they will be re-elected, and if there is still a tie, all the people outside will be eliminated. Those who are voted out need to enter the room inside. Ten minutes later, the next round of voting begins. Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The rule is that the three people who survive in the end will be qualified as participants in the 'Million Dollar Jackpot Human Wolf Game' - however, there is actually another way to complete the game. ”

"Oh?"

"You're the first to be elected, aren't you? Once you've entered this room and found the murder weapon in it, you'll know right away that you'll have to kill everyone who enters the room until there's only one person left alive in both rooms, and the game will automatically end. This is a general logical reasoning, and it seems to be reasonable, and the game ends when only one person is left alive in the inner room, and two people are left in the outer room. But why do we in the inner room need to brutally fight each other, while those in the outer room only need to choose others to participate in the gladiatorial fight? Don't you think it's really unfair? ”

The man snorted, "So what? ”

"Actually, you already knew, didn't you?" Xu Wen suddenly laughed, "I'm too nervous when I see the corpse on the ground." I should have thought of it long ago - from the moment you asked me to sit down, I should have understood, and you actually already knew. ”

The man looked at Xu Wen for a while, and finally grinned and smiled.

"My name is Munro." He said, "Well, let's wait for the next lucky guy." ”

The two of them sat quietly on the ground and said no more.

Munro never touched the flashlight on the ground, and the light of the flashlight shone on the corpse of the girl on the ground......

The eerie atmosphere didn't last long.

"Click-"

The sound of heavy iron moving on the ground sounded again, and the door to the room was opened again!

"No, don't let me in, please!"

This time, she was the only girl among the three people outside.

The two boys, pushing and kicking, threw the girl into the room, and at the girl's screams, the heavy door closed again.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I quit, I don't want a bonus anymore! I don't want to die—"

The girl collapsed to the ground, screaming in amazement.

"Shut up, or I'll make you the next corpse!"

Munro let out a loud cry, and the girl covered her mouth and stopped crying, but her eyes were still terrified—especially when her eyes caught the corpse of the woman on the ground.

"My name is Xu Wen, and the one over there is named Munro." Xu Wen said, "Sit quietly, we've won the game." ”

"......" The girl's eyes widened, her face was incredulous, obviously, before Xu Wen spoke, she didn't notice that there was another living person in the room.

Munro muttered under his face, "Noisy woman." ”

After hesitating, the girl obediently obeyed Xu Wen's words and sat down with her back against the door, but she didn't dare to approach anyone in the room.

After a while, the girl timidly spoke, "I—my name is Xiang Beni." Excuse me, is it true that you just said that we have won? Only Xu Wen spoke softly in the room, so this sentence was also said to Beni to Xu Wen.

"The rule is that there are 3 people alive at the end, right? So, why is there only one surviving place in the room inside? ”

"But, but...... The rule is that you have to vote......"

"yes, vote. Let's go back to the voting rules. ”

"Voting rules? Ah, yes! Xiang Beni finally figured it out, "There are only 2 people outside, there will definitely be a tie, and if there are two ties, all the people outside will be eliminated!" Then we win! ”

Xu Wen nodded, but in fact he knew that there was not necessarily only such a situation, but even if someone was really willing to sacrifice himself, it was absolutely impossible for him to survive the 1-on-3 duel. Therefore, it will be your own three people who will win.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

There was a faint scream, and then the door opened.

The light spilled from the outside room onto Beni's body.

"They, they're all dead!"

Half of Xiang Beni's tone was the panic of seeing blood, and the other half was the excitement of the rest of her life.
