Chapter 11: Four-Cornered Love
"There's a girl I've always had a crush on, but I think ...... It wasn't until the moment I was recruited as a tribute that she didn't know there was such a person as me......" Peta's eyes darkened, and she slowly said the classic lines from the original plot.
Hearing this, Caesar showed a look of hatred for iron, and he encouraged: "Listen, Peta, win this game, and then return home, that girl will definitely be waiting for you at the station, and then you can ask her out, a handsome boy like you, no girl will not be impressed...... You say it's not true! The last sentence he shouted out to the audience, and the audience erupted in unison: "Yes!" "Expressed support for Peeta.
"She won't wait for my ......," Pita said heavily, bowing her head. Caesar tapped his shoulder with the back of his hand: "Don't be such a young man, be confident!" Pita shook her head and said, "There's no way she's going to wait for me at the station...... Because, she came here with me......"
Hearing this, a voice of regret sounded in the audience, Caesar stretched out his hand to signal the audience to be quiet, and then asked with concern: "Let me guess, your sweetheart is ......" "Burning girl!" Without waiting for Caesar to guess, Pita revealed the answer herself, which once again stirred up the audience. Although he also appeared in a flame suit, Gnostic, as an adventurer, has always been deliberately low-key, obviously not as eye-catching as Katniss. Therefore, this burning girl is the exclusive title of Katniss, the heroine of the plot, and the most well-known and popular title of the 74th Hunger Games.
But then, because the rules are different from the original book, two people can survive, so Caesar didn't feel too sorry, but just expressed sympathy and blessings, and wished the pair of bitter mandarin ducks to win the championship in the end.
After Pita's interview, Gnostic, the glasses girl with two ponytails, finally takes to the stage. But looking at her expression, it seems to be very gloomy and sad. Caesar introduced her name and got straight to the point: "Miss News, you seem to be ...... Don't you look happy? ”
Gnosis shook his head and said with a slight cry, "I'm sorry, I just ...... It's just that I just learned that the person I've always had a crush on already has a sweetheart......" After speaking, she actually lowered her head and sobbed.
I have to say that this girl with double ponytail glasses is really talented in acting, and her crying immediately aroused the sympathy of the audience. Caesar cared, "You mean, your sweetheart is...... Pita? Gnosis sniffled slightly, and nodded silently. Caesar suddenly realized: "So, you volunteered to participate in the Hunger Games during the selection just to fight side by side with your sweetheart?" Gnosis nodded again.
The audience was in an uproar, whether in training or evaluation, this girl with glasses did not have the ability to show her outstanding ability, and many people regarded her as an ordinary girl with a hot brain. But now Capit's audience is in awe of Gnostic, this weak girl, in pursuit of love, resolutely participates in the dangerous Hunger Games!
The Kepitt people lived in abundance and did not work, they only liked to be subservient and elegant, and pursued ostentatious art and beauty. Therefore, neither the tragic life experience nor the painful experience can move them, but the Capitians also have a weakness, and that is love! The poignant and pure love story is the one that resonates with the people of Capitus the most!
Gnosis walked off the stage with the encouragement of the audience and Caesar, and at this moment, everyone remembered this girl with glasses, she got a reputation on par with the burning girl, the glass girl who pursued love!
Then, out of all the 48 contestants in The Hunger Games, the last one to appear, Ma Le, took the stage.
Unlike the resentment of Gnosis when he appeared, Ma Le had a distinctly angry face. His hair stood on end, his eyebrows twisted and his eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and anyone who wasn't blind could tell that he was furious to the extreme.
"Uh...... Mr. Iter, is there any enemy of yours in our room? Caesar asked tentatively. Ma Le gasped hard, and it took a while to calm his breath: "There is no on the field, there is one off the field!" Caesar was confused by this answer, and the calm and shrewd host also looked puzzled: "Excuse me, what do you mean by this......"
Ma Le slammed the table, stood up, turned to face the pictures of the tributes arranged at the back of the stage, stretched out his finger on the penultimate one, and shouted, "Pita Myrak, I, I, I'm here to challenge you, I'm sure to beat you all over the ground in The Hunger Games and win back Miss Neuss's favor!" Then, he turned to the gnosis who had just walked off the stage and was still looking at him in a daze at the entrance of the stage, and bowed deeply: "Miss News, my goddess, I am your most passionate suitor, and I will prove with my strength that I am stronger and more protective of you than that cowardly fellow!" ”
After making the declaration of challenge and courtship, Ma Le sat down again. Before Caesar and the audience could react, it took several seconds before an incredible voice came from the audience, and Caesar was a little overwhelmed and asked, "This...... Mr. It, you mean...... You...... is Miss News' suitor...... And Mr. Pitta...... Is it your rival? ”
Ma Le nodded: "Otherwise, why do you think I would be volunteering?" The audience was in an uproar, this 12th district is really too exposed, three volunteers, four corners of the relationship, it's really exciting!
Caesar was a little incredulous: "Mr. It, please forgive me for being rude, but I have to wonder if this is a show made by the Twelfth District, and whether you have negotiated it?" Marle glared at him with angry eyes, then stood up again and said aloud to the audience, "You will understand when it comes to The Hunger Games, and I will prove to everyone that I love Miss News!" That's love that no one can stop! This final declaration once again brought a small climax, and Ma Le finally walked off the stage with the support and cheers of the audience and completed the interview session.
After Ma Le stepped down, Gnosis excitedly asked him: "What do you think, this kind of gimmick is good once, why is it so complicated?" The general public may still be deceived, but how can those high-ups and sponsors believe such a botched story?! ”
Ma Le just smiled faintly: "Don't worry, as long as you can incite the masses, it's enough!" After speaking, he pushed Gnossy: "There is a reporter interviewing you in front, you go first, and make a disdain to deal with me." Since you have started acting, you have to have a beginning and an end! ”
Sure enough, as soon as they came out of the backstage, the four donors of the 12th district were surrounded by a group of reporters, and people were very interested in their four-cornered love.
The gimmick of the four-cornered love can hide from the plot characters, but not from the adventurers, all the adventurers clearly know that these two guys are playing tricks, but no one can guess the true meaning.
At least one thing is certain, the two guys in Miracle City definitely don't plan to kill the plot characters. This made Helias very unhappy, although he did not expect to cooperate with Ma Le from the beginning, this blatant opposition to him still made him feel that his authority was being challenged.
And it's not just a matter of position, as the heroine of the famous dead world, Katniss's information has been touched by many adventurers. Although her strength is not outstanding, her agility and body are very high, and her perception is not weak, coupled with the physique honed by years of hunting life, this skinny girl has an additional talent that increases her health by 200. Of course, the deadliest of all is Katniss's bow and arrow, who was known for her sharpshooter in the Twelfth District, claiming that she can shoot any prey only in the eyes without damaging the fur. After the calculation of the urban warfare system, Katniss's bow and arrow proficiency is as high as 379 points, which can be said to be a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, even the elites, if they are hit by her cold arrow, they will not be able to bear it.
Now that Miracle City's actions are undoubtedly wooing the two plot characters, if Marle and Gnosis really form a friendship with Katniss, then it will definitely be a big threat to other adventurers.
In order to cope with this situation, many adventurers also began to show favor to the plot characters in the same group, and those who did not want to show favor also prepared early. Moreover, quite a few adventurers use Ma Le as the first imaginary enemy to formulate tactics, and Ma Le's taunt tactics seem to be quite successful.
Tomorrow is the day the Hunger Games officially begin, and on the final night, Katniss and Pita open up for the first time, while Gnosis is stuck in the room with a remote control god, and Marena runs away again......
However, participating in the Hunger Games is the main quest, and Shikijin can't replace it, so the next morning, Ma Le still has to come back obediently to make the final preparations.
Hamidage sent the four contestants to the airport, and the four of them got on four transport planes. A staff member with a thick syringe in his hand walked over and began injecting the tracker into each contestant's arm. During the injection, Ma Le again encountered the embarrassment of taking blood samples, and it was difficult for the syringe to penetrate his skin......
He had no choice but to repeat the old trick, pointing outside and shouting "flying saucer", taking advantage of the staff's distraction, a small slit in the skin of the wrist of the control zhì was cracked, and the needle was included. This is the ability that Ma Le has recently realized, and his frequent absorption and mimicry have made his prototype body talent more proficient, and now Ma Le can control his body freely, and can change his form slightly. At the moment when the tracker is implanted in his body, Ma Le receives a reminder from the Miracle Badge that he must not remove it until he completes The Hunger Games, otherwise he will be considered to have forfeited his rights.
Then, the plane took off and carried all the contestants to the Hunger Games arena. After the plane landed, the contestants were separated and randomly assigned to different rooms, changed into Hunger Games uniforms, and stepped into glass tubes. When the time came, forty-eight glass tubes rose at the same time, sending all the players into the arena.
The 74th Hunger Games are finally about to begin......
