Gail is a friend of Katneys' friends, and in Katniss's eyes, he is a confidante who can talk about everything, but there is no romance between the two. Whether it's a girl's reserved or dull, that's exactly how Katniss sees Gail. But in Gael's eyes, Katniss is not so indifferent to existence. Gail loves Katnis, or more accurately, he loves her.

In the original plot, there was only one winner of The Hunger Games, so even two players in the same district would inevitably kill each other. Under such cruel rules, Gail naturally does not take the initiative to participate in the Hunger Games. But now it's different, because of the intervention of the city battle system, there can be two winners! In this situation, Gail, after a struggle of ideas, finally decides to stand up and share the hardships with Katniss!

What a wonderful and innocent love this is, the boy is willing to follow the girl to the most dangerous place, even if he dies...... This kind of romance is enough to impress all adolescent girls, but it can't move the painful horse music.

If this place is snatched away by Gail, not to mention that the main quest will not be completed, and last night's efforts will be in vain! Therefore, Ma Le also shouted: "I am willing to go too!" Then he stepped out of the crowd and got in front of Gail.

Gail grabbed Ma Le's shoulder dissatisfiedly and said, "Hey, who are you?" Ma Le shook his shoulders and shook off Gail's hand: "Who do you care who I am?" Stay for a while! Gail was furious and was about to start playing horse music, when the host Effie patted the microphone and attracted the attention of the two: "What a wonderful moment, there are actually three volunteers in the 12th district at once, two brave boys don't have to argue, there is still a place on the stage!" With that, Effie approached Peeta, who was still crying, and asked him in a cheerful and gentle tone, "Son, there are two boys volunteering for The Hunger Games, and although I know that this will take away the honor that might have belonged to you, I still want to make sure that you are willing to give up your spot?" ”

Pita wiped her tears, looked at Effie, looked at Marle and Gale in the stands, looked at her own family in the crowd, and finally looked at Katniss standing in the stands, hesitated, and finally gritted her teeth and made a decision that surprised everyone: "I don't want to, I'm going to participate in The Hunger Games!" ”

This is a sentence that everyone expected, there are people who know Pita off the field and know that he is a gentle and kind boy. Even if you don't know him, you will never think that he has the courage to continue to stay when you see his unproductive crying. But Ma Le and Gnostic, who are familiar with the plot, know that this is also for love, this Peta, who also has a crush on Katniss. Although the two barely communicated, at most passing each other in the school hallways, Katniss had already lived in Pita's heart. Compared with Gail, who was originally brave and strong, the persistence of Peta's soft-footed shrimp is even more moving.

"Very well," said Ma Le, turning back to Gail, "See, Brother Pita is not willing to give way, so you can go home and cool off!" ”

Where was Gail willing to agree, he struggled to break free from the shackles of the security police, rushed to Ma Le and glared at him viciously: "Then let's have a try!" Although Gail's is not as strong as Ma Le, he is slightly taller, and at this time he looked at Ma Le condescendingly with his head held high, and his eyes were especially flaming.

"Competition?" Ma Le snorted, and then instantly grabbed Gail's neck, lifting the boy who was more than 1.90 meters tall from the ground with one hand. Gail struggled and punched and kicked Ma Le, he was considered strong among ordinary people, but in Ma Le's eyes, this bit of flower fist embroidered leg was similar to a lover's touch.

Gale made a fuss for a while, and soon died of lack of oxygen, and Katniss on the stage was worried about him and was about to rush down. At this time, Ma Le put down Gail, put his mouth to his ear and whispered: "I know what you are thinking, but you are still too weak now, and you can't protect anyone in this battle!" With that, he let go of his hand, and let Gail slump to the ground, not knowing if he had listened.

Ma Le raised his right hand in a triumphant gesture and shouted to the camera next to him: "Contestants from other districts, I don't care where you come from or how capable you are, but as long as you come to participate in the Hunger Games, then I'm sorry, your life has come to an end!" As he spoke, Ma Le stretched out his right thumb in a pretending b, and then turned down vigorously, looking at the incomparably coquettish look, which made people feel an urge to travel through time and space to flatten him.

After making the victory declaration, Ma Le ignored Katnis's resentful eyes and strode onto the stage, not forgetting to wave to the numb crowd below, who looked like a big star.

The event ended quickly, and the four contestants were escorted to the courthouse by the vigilantes, where they were each locked up in a separate room, and then each family member and friend had three minutes to visit and say goodbye. But in the identity arranged by the city war system, Ma Le and Gnosis are from the same family, so the two of them are locked in the same room.

There will be no cameras in this room, and as soon as he entered the room, Gnosis complained to Ma Le: "Why do you do such a conspicuous thing? This will make us the target of public criticism! Ma Le sat on the sofa and replied lazily: "I was originally a defense specialty, and it is common sense to pull hatred before the war!" ”

"What are you kidding?" Gnosis said angrily, "You think this is a game? No one in the city warfare system can win by taking a beating! Ma Le shrugged his shoulders and said: "Then what's the way, the cow has already blown out, besides, aren't you also quite confident, you were calm and relaxed when you first entered the world, why are you panicking now?" ”

Gnosis shook his head and said, "I'm starting to be confident because I saw your attributes, you are a strong martial arts system, and your own attributes are very high, if you match me, you should have an advantage." But now it's different, the adventurers in other districts are also elites, how can they stand this kind of provocation, and when the time comes, they will attack us in groups, no matter how strong the combination is, they can't withstand it...... No, I'll stay away from you when I get into The Hunger Games, you're too dangerous! ”

"Calm down......" Ma Le comforted her: "I'm not a fool, I naturally have my reasons for doing this, don't worry, it won't affect you!" Gnosis looked at the big man with a bit of a difference, and for some reason, she vaguely felt that she should believe him, even though Ma Le didn't even give him a clear explanation.

The visiting time passed quickly, and the four contestants were taken to the station and boarded the train to Kepit.

"200 miles per hour, but so smooth you can barely feel it's moving!" Effet Lynch explains. Following her guidance, the four of them entered a large hall that was very spacious, luxuriously decorated and more sophisticated than the richest people in the 12th Arrondissement, and the tables and shelves were filled with all kinds of tempting food, which was the most powerful temptation for the people of the 12th Arrondissement, who were starving all day. Katniss and Pita held their breath, barely believing that they were in the middle of a speeding train.

Effie arranges for the four to sit down and then go to their Hunger Games mentor, Hamidage. District 12 is a well-known poverty-stricken district, and the winning rate of participating in the Hunger Games is very low, and in the seventy-three years so far, only two winners have come from here, and Hammic is one of them, and the only one is still alive. It is worth mentioning that Hemic participated in the 50th edition of The Hunger Games, just in time for the 25th edition of the Extreme Race, and was the only one with 48 participants...... No, because of the adventurer's intervention in the rule change, there should have been ninety-six contestants that time, which is twice as many as in previous editions. In other words, Hammic should be the only victor who has hit a double enemy, a living legend, a true master.

Katniss was as taciturn as ever, just staring at Ma Le with some unpleasantness. Ma Le didn't care, he picked up the food and chewed it, although Gnosis was not hungry, but the girl couldn't resist the temptation of sweets after all, and she also took two pastries and tasted them. Of the four, only Pita is looking forward to Hemic's arrival.

Hemici arrives quickly, but it's a far cry from Peta's image of a tall and perfect one. This tall middle-aged man has long and disheveled hair, his clothes are crooked, his shirt is rolled out, and he has no shoes on his feet, and he looks extremely sloppy. As the scruffy ghost approached, a heavy smell of wine came, causing Gynsis to hide his nose.

Instead of paying attention to the four contestants, Hemic chose the wine in the room by himself, and finally found a satisfactory bottle, poured half a glass and sat on the sofa in front of the four of them.

Ma Le and Gnosis were prepared for what was going to happen, so they didn't say anything, just ate slowly. As developed in the plot, Pita first lost her breath and asked the "mentor" about the plan, but the irresponsible drunk only left a sentence: "With the consciousness that you may die, you know in your heart that I can't help you at all!" This sentence angered Katniss and Peta, and Pita almost made a move with Hammic, but was instantly subdued by this experienced fighter. I'm only here for refreshments, and if you're going to spill my wine, I'll go back to my room and drink it. With that, the drunk man left the dining car.

Pita chases after him, but Katniss tries to stop him, but without success, while Marle and Gnosis are still eating.

"Why don't you seem to care at all?" Katniss asked the two of them with a frown. Gnosis shrugged his shoulders and looked at Ma Le beside him with an innocent face, Ma Le stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, and said vaguely: "What is there to worry about, you can't run away from victory, just go over and get it." ”

This declaration of confidence did not encourage Katnis, but made her more anxious, and the seemingly calm but still immature girl left the two of them and went back to her room in a huff.

Ma Le swallowed the cake in his mouth and said to Gnostic: "Effie should provide video materials of the contestants in other districts, you go back to your room to study and study, I will meet that Hamikey, Pita kid can't get him!" With that, he also left the dining car.
