Chapter 285: Fake Match
Song Lan felt that this thin man might have learned a few tricks from Roger, and he was defeated so easily and quickly.
His arm was embedded in the gap in the baring of the iron cage, and after about ten seconds, the infirmary team was already carrying the stretcher and preparing to carry the man, but the thin man struggled to pull out his arm stuck in the railing, and he propped his hands on the ground, gasping for breath.
However, the strong man did not intend to leave him time to rest, and proved the cruelty of underground boxing with practical actions - before the thin man could get up from the ground, he landed a heavy punch on the thin man's back, as if he did not care that this punch might directly break the opponent's spine.
The punch bent the thin man's body so hard that the latter's widening eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The thin man fell to the ground in a distorted position, but at the same time caused the audience to cheer passionately.
Only Song Lan in the crowd shuddered for a moment, and her whole body was uncomfortable, "Director, I think I may still not appreciate this kind of exercise." ”
He suspected that the thin man had just been beaten and might spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed.
"I remember that this kind of game system is called the Iron Cage Match, and the iron cage will not be opened until one of the players is completely unconscious."
Lu Xiang said, "If he had pretended to faint just now, he might not have been hit by this punch." ”
This is no formal boxing event, and each participant enters the ring with the determination to finish off the other, and in the past month alone, as many as 13 competitors have died in the underground boxing ring in District 17.
In her opinion, this thin man is nothing special, and before he stepped on the stage, he should have signed "Life and Death".
And while the two were talking, the thin man who originally looked like he had his spine broken, gritted his teeth again and supported himself from the ground.
The audience in the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers, as if applauding the thin man's resilience.
In response to him, there was also a heavy kick from a strong man.
The thin man flew a few meters away and hit the cage again.
Lu Xiang, who witnessed this scene, sensed the clue, and she whispered, "The person you pressed has transplanted a prosthetic body, or has undergone physical transformation. ”
With the physical fitness of a normal person, it is almost time to faint when the first punch is taken, and even a person with strong willpower cannot surpass the limits of the human body with spirit alone.
She didn't know if it was good or bad for the thin man.
If he could have fainted in the first place, he would not have been mortally injured, and now the situation is getting closer and closer to the direction of the desperate match.
Rather than a boxing match, the scene is more like a one-sided beating by a strong man, the thin man is like a sandbag, no matter how heavy the beating, he can get up again, seeing this, the strong man is getting heavier and heavier, and after the thin man falls, he continues to pursue, and the fist falls on the thin man's body like a storm.
Until, finally, for a while, the thin man's right hand gripped the railing of the iron cage so that he did not fall to the ground in the beating of the strong man's head and face.
His face was covered in blood, his nose was sunken, and his facial features were barely recognizable.
After withstanding the baptism of fists, he finally made his first truly meaningful counterattack of the night—a fist that struck weakly into the chest of the brawny man with subcutaneous armor, as if the blow that had carried out his conviction did not shake the tall figure for half a minute.
The strong man stood in place, his eyes full of mockery.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and this seemingly weak punch made the underground boxing gym suddenly quiet.
People held their breath and watched the stalemate on stage.
About ten seconds later, the mountain-like body in front of the thin man collapsed, and the audience was stunned for a long time before bursting out into a burst of scolding again.
Match-fixing!
It doesn't get any more blatant match-fixing than this!
RMN, get your money back!
This thought did not disappear, but was transferred from Song Lan's heart to all the audience at the scene, even Lu Xiang turned his face sideways and stared at Song Lan with suspicious eyes, "Are you cheating?" ”
In her opinion, the thin fighter's punch might not even be an itch for the strong man, and the first thought that came to her mind was that Song Lan remotely used psionic energy to control the thin man and hit a blow that was enough to break the strong man's defense.
"How is that possible? We made a bet, so how could I cheat? ”
He admits that putting himself in the role of a skinny man because of the bet gave him goosebumps, but he never had the idea of artificially interfering in the boxing match.
In order to maintain a sense of mystery, he didn't even foresee the future of this match.
He does have the ability to change the trend of a certain game, but it is meaningless, even if he helps the thin man win against the strong man, at the level of the opponent, sooner or later he will have to die at the hands of the next opponent.
"That thin man put down the strong man with his real skills."
Although Song Lan didn't understand what happened on the field just now, this is the case, "Or that strong man may really be playing a match-fix, and the odds of 1:32 can make people make a lot of money." ”
Even though the audience vented their dissatisfaction, most of them were gamblers who wanted to eat the "subsistence allowance" but were upset and lost, but they could not influence the referee to read the results of the thin man's victory to everyone.
The medical staff came to the stage and carried the strong man down.
As the two walked out of the bar, a phone call came, and Roger's name appeared on the phone screen, as if he had heard the news that the game was over.
"Hello? Section chief, what do you think of the competition? ”
The moment it was connected, Roger's voice couldn't wait to come over.
"Confusing."
Song Lan could only think of these four words, he didn't expect Lu Xiang to have a time when he looked away, as for his suppression of the thin man purely because he believed in metaphysics, there was no basis for reality, in fact, when the game started, he didn't really believe that the thin man could win the game.
"I heard that the skinny man won?"
"Hmm."
"Do you know what nickname the audience gave him?" 'Cheater', that's what everyone in the circle calls him, and his last fight was somewhat similar to this one, where he was beaten up all the time, but he struck the last hit. ”
Unlike those classic counter-kill scenes, the thin man did not show any professional skills in the game at all, and from any point of view, he was no different from ordinary people.
Such a counter-kill will not usher in any applause for him, but will make people feel that it is a fake match.
"His opponent in the last game was also a ruthless character, and many people suspected that the opponent bought and lost, but I later found out some news - that person died on the way to the prosthetic hospital, but this may also be the word of the prosthetic hospital, they took the prosthetic body from them under the pretense that the patient was dead."
Most of the ruthless characters who can make a name for themselves in underground boxing still have some valuable prosthetics.
"That's why you gave us tickets, right?"
Song Lan reacted, if Roger directly asked him to help investigate the case, he would probably refuse, and would push the matter to the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
"Hehe, I just want to hear the opinion of the professional in charge."
Roger confessed his little calculations, "What does the director say?" Was it a match-fixing or did the skinny guy really kill his opponent by some means? ”
