Chapter 3: Shock
In the early morning, the sun shines through the sparse foliage and sprinkles spots. The morning breeze came in from the window with fresh air, which made Ye Ye, who had not slept all night and was a little sluggish, instantly refreshed and regained his vitality.
Call!
"It's dawn, and it's time to go out and check out the neighborhood." Stretching, Ye Ye stood up and moved his muscles: "If you can, let's leave this island as soon as possible!" ”
At that moment, a low, contrived voice was transmitted over the entire island through a radio device.
"Good morning, everyone!"
The students, scattered across the island, once again heard the voice that they hated and hated.
Similarly, it also reached Ye Ye's ears.
(There are people on the island!) )
Ye Ye's expression froze, this was not a good thing for him, which meant that his plan to leave this island silently was likely to be frustrated.
"I'm your mentor Mimi Kamon, and it's 6 a.m. - everyone's in good spirits, right?"
"So, I'm going to announce the list of classmates who have died so far!!"
"Start with the boys."
"Boy No. 1, Yoshio Akamatsu."
"Boy No. 3, Oki Tatsu."
……
(Something is wrong, what's going on?) )
(Death list?) How could so many people die on a small island? And the guy who broadcast the list of deaths didn't have the slightest hint of grief or condolences in his tone. )
While listening to the radio, Ye Ye quickly turned his mind and thought: (His tone seems to be... Banter? )
The next moment, the words coming out of the radio confirmed Ye Ye's feelings.
"Everyone is working hard, and the teacher is very happy~"
(Is it a game like live-action CS, where death means exit?) The first speculation flashed through his mind, and was immediately rejected by Ye Ye himself. (If so, the previous passage doesn't make sense, and the military dispatch to evacuate the islanders is an exaggeration.) )
(Is it a real killing game?) )
A creepy thought suddenly popped into my mind, like a lightning bolt shattering the shackles, and a distant memory loomed into the air.
"Then, immediately after the teacher comes to inform the forbidden area and the time......"
The voice on the radio continued to reverberate.
The word forbidden area was like a catalyst that suddenly evoked Ye Ye's long-term memory, and a name that he had seen a long time ago blurted out from his mouth: "Damn, battle royale--!!! ”
How can it be!
Although there had been speculations before, the discovery that it was likely to be in a fictional world still made Ye Ye's heart waver, and he was speechless for a while.
“… After the report, then, everyone should also work hard today! ”
The male voice that echoed across the island with deep malice gradually subsided, and as the broadcast ended, the island fell silent for a moment.
Struggling to break free from the shock, Ye Ye temporarily put his doubts about the world behind him: "Anyway, the most important thing now is what to do next!" ”
Closed his eyes and searched from the dusty memories to find useful information from them, but unfortunately the time was too far away, many details and plots were blurred, and Ye Ye could only recall the general story synopsis and some impressive fragments.
Overall, this is a story in which a class of students are placed on a small island to kill each other, interspersed with elements of struggle, betrayal, friendship, love, and so on.
Then, Ye Ye found himself in a very embarrassing situation now.
On the one hand, the students who are contestants must have collapsed to the most nervous state under the sudden shadow of death and the fear of killing, but whether they choose to unite, betray or fight, the opponents are classmates who get along day and night. In this case, when Ye Ye, a stranger he had never seen before, came into contact with them, he would inevitably get the highest vigilance treatment.
On the other hand, for the government forces overseeing this killing game, an outsider who clearly shouldn't be in the game is necessarily an undesirable factor that needs to be eliminated. Even if he didn't act for the time being so as not to affect the progress of this game, at the end of the game in three days, Ye Ye didn't want to leave this island easily.
In a word, Ye Ye's current situation can be described as seeing the light and dying.
"It's tricky!"
Ye Ye thought hard while reminiscing, hoping to find a way out of the predicament in front of him.
"It's not that there is no solution, but there is still something that is indispensable." The plan in his mind gradually took shape, at least it was not completely lifeless, Ye Ye was a little settled in his heart, and looked up at the window: "It depends on your luck." ”
At that moment, another voice rang out through a megaphone.
"Students~Listen to us~"
"Everyone, stop fighting! Come to us~"
Looking in the direction from which the sound came from, in a very conspicuous watchtower on the top of the hillside not far from Ye Ye's bungalow, the two girls shouted hoarsely, hoping to quell the killing.
"Let's gather here~"
"Stop killing each other!!"
(Oops!) Two silly chicks! )
This thought flashed through Ye Ye's mind when he first looked at the top of the mountain. Although the foothills of the mountain are densely wooded, the area around the top of the hill where the watchtower is located is cleared of the trees for a wide view. This means that once someone makes a move, the two girls are the most conspicuous targets. With Ye Ye's current distance and eyesight, he can even roughly see the figures of the two girls.
"Everyone, stop it~"
Listening to the two girls shouting loudly with timidity, but still heartbreaking, Ye Ye sighed in his heart.
The two girls behaved bravely, but they were also naïve.
Although he doesn't remember this plot, whether it is from the plot trajectory of the story or from the idea of realistic human nature, Ye Ye can guess the next ending of these two girls.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Ye pushed open the door, and his figure disappeared into the woods when he came yesterday.
Bang!
At this moment, a gunshot rang out in the distance, interrupting the shouting on the hillside. But after a while, a crying voice came from the hillside again: "Everyone, stop it~"
Just as the two girls endured their fear and continued to cry out loudly on the watchtower with tears, an ominous black shadow quietly appeared on the trunk of the tree behind the watchtower.
The gunshots rang out again, but this time it was no longer a kind warning from before, but a call to death.
Under the effect of the loudspeaker that was not turned off, the sound of machine gun fire and screams echoed on the island as far away as the peace appeals of the two girls before.
"Friends... Beauty, vibrating... Cheer up a little."
"Hold... Deficient! Yukiko... I'm so stupid, if it weren't... I... If you propose to call everyone here..."
"It's okay... What we do... It's the right thing to do."
"Yukiko... Thank you, thank you... Run..."
Yukiko Kitano, who was shorter, tried to move her seriously injured body and hugged Yumiko Hisaka: "Let's run away together..."
The black shadow unhurriedly ascended to the lookout, switching ammo, unresponsive to the exchange of two dying girls in front of him.
"I, yes... It's great to be friends with Tomomi..."
The gunshots rang out again, interrupting the last words of the two girls.
Unmoved, not guilty, not a trace of feeling, Kazuo Kiriyama was silent, his handsome face was like a marble sculpture, as indifferent as ever.
Stooping down to pull open the package left behind by the two girls, one weapon is a useless dart and the other is a grenade.
Putting the grenade away, Kazuo Kiriyama quickly left the scene.
The scene was bloody, only the cold wind howled, witnessing the passing of two flower-like lives that had not yet bloomed.
----------------------------------------------
After a while, a sturdy figure rushed out of the woods, stretched out his hand and jumped by the lookout, and the man had already rushed in.
It's late!
The strong smell of blood filled the extremely sharp nasal cavity, Ye Ye looked down at the two girls who were hugging each other in a pool of blood, their eyes were gray and lost all luster, and they were silent.
Fear? Wrath? Regretful?
Strange to say, the first time he saw the scene of the murder at close range, Ye Ye did not feel the slightest discomfort, what he had in his heart was just a heaviness.
"Rest in peace!" Ignoring the blood, Ye Ye squatted down, reached out and closed the open eyes of the two girls, and said silently.
If you can be one step faster... Immediately shaking his head, Ye Ye threw this thought behind him.
Although he did have some thoughts of saving these two girls when he ran up the mountain just now, Ye Ye knew in his heart that this was not realistic.
I don't know them, I don't have time, I don't have the opportunity to persuade them to leave the top of the mountain, even if I come out, at best, I just give someone more target, but I expose my existence in vain.
Besides, this island is a huge Gu pot, and the tragedy that is about to happen is not limited to the scene in front of them, even if he saves them this time, they still can't escape the fate of death in the future. Perhaps, dying here together would be happier for them!
(No way, I, after all, am not a savior, in this killing game, all I can do is protect myself.) )
