Liu Bo's eyes widened when he heard this, and he felt that he was getting closer and closer to some strange unknown. Approaching the truth that is gradually being revealed, it is as if it will be burned by flames, and I want to dodge.

"There is a tiger in the heart, sniff the rose," Qi Yu muttered a sentence thoughtlessly, and then, entering the topic, "We were hesitating whether to participate, and when we were about to participate, the 'Scarlet Rose' sent a third email. This strange sender, in that letter, only a few words of pen and ink. Roughly speaking, let's participate in events hosted by the website. ”

Xinzi and Ah Cheng finally fiddled with the equipment, and the two of them sat on the small bed under the lotus lamp and listened to Qi Yu's story. Although they are the protagonists of the story, they still listen attentively, like bystanders hearing the story for the first time. Between the eyebrows, a strange light burst out.

After receiving his email, the three of us immediately made up our minds and signed up for the event. You must be curious, what the hell is that activity?"

Liu Bo didn't speak, and he had a bad guess in his heart. The muscles of his whole body tensed because of the confusion and horror in his heart, and the blue-purple meridians swelled out, revealing three-dimensional veins.

"The theme of the event is ......'Stepano'," Qi Yu obviously didn't remember the name, he tilted his head and thought for a long time before calling out the name, "The three of us haven't read any books, so naturally we don't know the meaning of this ghost name, and I don't know which celebrity name it comes from." ”

Xinzi interjected: "Maybe it's the name of the founder of the website." ”

"Anyway," Qi Yu raised his voice, a little dissatisfied with Xinzi's sudden interjection, "After we read the introduction of the event, we were very moved. In my words, 'Stefano' is an event that competes in the art of killing. How can you take a person's life with a sense of beauty?"

The two people behind him, Xinzi and Ah Cheng, were half-squinted with red eyes, and there was unusual excitement in their eyes. Qi Yu also had a look of yearning on his face, "We have watched so many videos, but few of them really kill a person with 'beauty'. They were always beaten and stabbed violently, as if the more blood they saw, the better. It's very clichéd, and it's not 'beautiful' at all. ”

"You ...... You're crazy...... Crazy, how can killing a person be beautiful, that's cruelty, that's ruthlessness, that's not beauty, madman!"

The boy's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he had heard that shocked the world. Such a reckless disregard for human life is actually for the ridiculous art of killing?

"Maniac...... Perverted ...... You're crazy...... Lose your marbles. ”

Qi Yu sneered, "How can murder be unartistic? When an artist cuts a few leaves for a bonsai, everyone clapps and admires, and they all call it 'beauty'; a painter can sell it for a very high price if he splashes ink casually." In my mind, the aesthetics of killing people are much more moving than those messy paintings and calligraphy. ”

"Maniac...... Madman......" The boy was still muttering, his eyes staring blankly at one place, looking a little blank.

Qi Yu didn't care about him, and said to himself, "In addition, there is another point that attracts us to this event: through the selection of the website, the group that wins the first place can get a reward of 500,000 US dollars. It's like a trophy made for us, and we won't let it go. ”

He changed his words and suddenly frowned, "Then, we ran into a little trouble. The first theme of the event was 'Carnival', but there were only three of us in total, so it didn't look like a carnival no matter how you look at it. What can I do about that? Apo, what do you say?"

The young man understood, his face wrinkled, he looked in a trance, and he only regretted not being at the beginning, "So...... You're ...... You've just found me. ”

"Exactly. We wanted to find friends who used to make small films together to make money, Yu Yi and Xiaoyu...... Those are indeed the ones we found. But, on the night of drinking in the bar that day, I saw you. If you are dragged into a carnival, dirty, and detached from then on, what a 'beautiful' thing it is!"

Qi Yu was a little crazy, he licked his lips, "A teenager who doesn't know the world has broken into the carnival of adults, stained with the blood of sin, the cold corpse, and the crazy party, so in line with the theme of 'carnival'. Apo, do you realize that you are wrong? Your presence has increased the artistry of our work. In the sour words of the literati, this is called 'singing the love song of life and death', and you are the most colorful stroke. You and that woman are the protagonists of our play. ”

Suddenly, goosebumps appeared on the boy's cheeks, and a chill snaked up from his lungs, and even the breath he exhaled seemed to become cold. He was washed away by the thought of remorse, and his body was completely weak, "That's why you killed people? Yes, I want money, so I follow you to do some dirty work, but I don't want to become your plaything." Monsters, you play with your life, you are not human, you are monsters!"

Qi Yu's face did not change, but he said that he was still a little happy, "That's right, Apo, the artist's idea is originally something that ordinary people can't read." Do you understand? To finish that, we had the medicine ready from the start. As long as Ah Cheng makes a fake proposal and tells everyone that it will be very profitable, those outlaws will 'volunteer' to become 'extras'. After that, the trap of 'accomplices' is set and no one will become a traitor. A perfect end to the scene. But you ......"

Qi Yu's voice suddenly raised, full of anger, "But you, you are the 'changeable factor'. From the very beginning, we have been keeping a close eye on your moves. As long as you control your movements, then we are foolproof. Do you really think we're going to just leave bodies in landfills? No, no. We wanted to create an illusion in front of you, take you to bury the body, dig it up at night, cut it up, divide it, and throw it in the various places that have been selected in advance. Originally, after the fact, if you repent, call the police, and explain the location of the burial, we can still have a way back. But I never thought that that night, when we went there to dig up the corpses, all we saw were a few mice. Apo, you can do it!"

Liu Bo listened to Qi Yu's confession and had nothing to say. He looked at the three men, his eyes glazed out, as if he were looking at a monster.

"Something went wrong, and the police could come and arrest us at any time. We had to plan ahead. Apo, you are the one who hastened all this. The theme of the event a month later is 'Born to Die'. We probably won't be able to wait for that day, so we've brought the day of the shoot to today. ”
