Volume 3 The Nest Chapter 275 A stab in the back
The rules of the game for Ember are actually to ask the two forces to fight for the Ring and the Mirror, and they will lose both of them, so that they can get out of the way.
The game is like a fierce battle, and every decision can affect the final victory or defeat.
The faces of the participants were full of nervousness and expectation, their eyes showed greed and bloodthirstiness, and they knew that at this moment, the rule set by Ember was not just playing a game, but playing with life.
"Have you chosen them all? Please write your choice on a blank piece of paper, and we will vote for the highest number of votes, and you will get both things. ”
As soon as the embers finished speaking, there was an instant uproar at the scene, thinking that it would be some kind of exquisite game rules, but they didn't want to win by drawing lots, which was really cliché.
In fact, the ending of this game, Yu Huo already knew, and there would be no good results, because everyone's name written on a blank piece of paper will write themselves, not others, which is the so-called evil of human nature.
Yu Huo looked at everyone's surprised expressions, smiled and explained: "Drawing lots is the fairest way and the most reflective of your true wishes. Besides, it's not the outcome that matters, it's the process that you participate in. ”
Although everyone is a little disappointed, they think about it, and this way can indeed avoid many artificial manipulation and prejudice.
So, they all picked up their pens, pondered for a moment, and then wrote their names on a blank piece of paper.
Ember put away the note and placed it in an old incense burner, and said, "Now, we will vote, and everyone can vote for themselves and for everyone else, and the person with the highest number of votes will get both." ”
Everyone was talking about who to vote for, but in fact, everyone was making their own calculations in their hearts.
As a result, almost all of them chose to vote for themselves because they believed that they were the ones who were most likely to get both.
After the vote ended, Ember invited a strong man to publicly count the votes.
As the votes sounded, everyone's mood became nervous, they were both expecting and afraid to know the result, expecting to win and afraid that the result would not be their own.
When the last ticket was sung, Ember announced the result.
Surprisingly, the person who received the highest number of votes was not any one person, but everyone present.
This result was not surprising to Yu Huo, but the audience had already become a mess, and they began to question each other why they didn't vote for themselves.
This wave of hype by Ember not only escalated the contradiction between the two forces again, but also caused a rift within the two forces, and they began to complain to each other, which is exactly what Ember wants to see.
At this time, Liu Wusheng finally understood the subtlety of the operation of the embers, and leaned over and laughed in a low voice: "I didn't expect you kid, it's really bad enough, I really underestimate you, there will be a good show to watch next." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, be ready to find a chance to slip away, the bullet won't be long, you can relax yourself for a while."
Liu nodded silently, and the two tacitly agreed to leave this chaotic situation, and they used the cover of the crowd to sneak out of the field quietly.
As Yu Huo expected, the two forces once again had a fierce conflict, but this time, they didn't know that the two forces were fighting, but the inside and outside had already fought and completely messed up.
This conflict, like Mars hitting the earth, instantly ignited resentment and anger on both sides, and the original simple struggle between the two forces has now fallen into endless infighting.
"Let's go!"
The battle between the two forces, as well as the infighting between each other, made Ember see the gap between the escapes, reminded Liu Wusheng, and then, the two quickly left the broken temple and quickly disappeared into the night.
Behind him, there was the sound of gunfights and wails between the two sides, and Ember did not dare to stop, because he knew that he had not left the danger zone yet, and he had to leave here as soon as possible to avoid another change.
Besides, this is an isolated island, and if you want to completely get rid of the pursuit of these forces, you must find a way to get out of this isolated island as soon as possible.
Ember and Liu walked silently in the night, and the sound of gunfights and wails in the broken temple had gradually faded away, but their pace did not slow down.
They traverse dark trails and over low bushes, trying to avoid leaving traces.
It was a deserted island, with no lights and no signs of life, and they could only rely on the faint moonlight and their own instincts to find the possibility of leaving.
Suddenly, a gunshot pierced the night sky, followed by more gunshots.
Apparently, their escape had already attracted the attention of their pursuers.
"Quick, we have to speed up!"
Ember said anxiously, his eyes shining with determination in the night.
Liu Wusheng nodded silently, his face looked particularly solemn in the moonlight, and the two of them quickened their pace again, but the gunshots behind them were getting closer and closer.
At this moment, a pier on the beach appeared in front of them, and a small boat was moored on the pier, although it was simple, but it gave them a glimmer of hope.
Ember gritted his teeth and motioned to Liu silently, and the two cautiously approached the boat.
Behind them, the gunfire was getting closer and closer, and they had no way back.
Finally, they reached the boat.
Ember quickly untied the ropes, and Liu silently started the boat's engine, and just as they were about to leave, the group of killers appeared on the docks.
"There! Pursue! ”
The killer at the head pointed to the boat and shouted.
The boat raced through the night, gradually moving away from the isolated island, and the group of killers, trying to shoot, but the distance was too far for them to hit accurately.
Ember let out a long sigh of relief that they had finally gotten rid of the pursuit, however, Ember, not realizing that danger was on their side.
At this time, Liu was silent, the corners of his mouth were raised, and the sparse moonlight hit his face, which looked particularly sinister, and he took out the dagger on his waist, and was about to be ruthless to the embers.
Ember felt the cold wind behind him, and he turned around instantly, his eyes widened, and he saw the dagger in Liu Wusheng's hand.
His heart beat like a drum in an instant, deafening.
"You ......"
Yu Huo was just about to speak, but he saw Liu's silent dagger, like a meteor in the night sky, quickly stabbing at him.
On the side of Yu Huo's body, he dodged the knife in an instant, however, Liu Wusheng did not stop because of this, but attacked more fiercely.
While resisting Liu Wusheng's attack, Ember tried to find an opportunity to escape, but Liu Wusheng's offensive was like a raging storm, slashing one after another, leaving Ember overwhelmed.
At this moment, the willow in the moonlight was silent, like a fierce wolf, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, while the embers were like a wounded deer, struggling helplessly under his attack.
Just as he was about to make a move, the embers suddenly exerted his strength, pushing Liu Wusheng to the ground, and then he quickly got up and shot a few silver needles at Liu Wusheng.
However, Liu came silently prepared, he took out the gun on his waist, as for the gun in his hand, where it came from, it is unknown, there is no way to trace the source, but the black muzzle has been aimed at the embers.
Yu Huo knew that Liu Wusheng was originally a family slave with two surnames, and while eating the imperial food of the widowed nest, he also took refuge in the 'Five Immortal Guards'.
Inevitably the gun went off, and the embers did not move, but raised their hands in a gesture of surrender to show weakness, so that Liu Wusheng remained calm.
"Lose the silver needle, hand over those two things!"
Liu Wusheng shouted loudly, his ambition was exposed without reservation at this moment, Yu Huo knew that Liu Wusheng took the initiative to give the Underworld Ring, and he didn't have any good intentions, it was purely a weasel to give New Year's greetings to the chickens, but he never expected that Liu Wusheng would turn his face so quickly.
"Brother Liu, why are you in such a hurry, just out of the island, it's not safe here, those killers, they will definitely find a way to catch up."
Ember threw the silver needle between his fingers, and then persuaded him with kind words, hoping to make Liu Wusheng put down the gun in his hand so as not to go off, but Liu Wusheng didn't seem to want to sit down and talk calmly.
"Less nonsense, hurry up and hand over the things and put them in the middle of the boat."
Yu Huo knew that at this time, Liu Wusheng had been swayed by desire, and he couldn't listen to any persuasion at all, so Yu Huo could only put the Ring and Mirror in his hand in the middle of the boat according to his wishes.
The boat floated on the sea in the night, and in the silence of the night, only the sound of two people breathing, and the sound of the boat gently rippling in the water.
After Ember placed the Ring and the Mirror in the middle of the ship, Liu Silent's eyes flashed with greed and eagerness.
"Put your head in your hands, don't play tricks on me."
Liu Wusheng held the gun in one hand and aimed it at Yu Huo's head, while with the other hand, he went to take the Ring and the Mirror placed in the middle of the boat, and the corners of his mouth were already filled with an unconcealable smile.
Ember observed Liu Wusheng's movements, hoping to find a flaw, a flaw that could hit with one blow, and he must not let Liu Wusheng leave with these two things.
And at this moment, the whistle of the airship was heard in the distance, and Yu Huo's heart tightened, thinking that those killers had chased after him, but he didn't want Liu to swing his head silently, and motioned for the airship to hurry over.
The airship approached the boat, Liu Wusheng jumped directly on the airship, only to see him and the airship's connector, whispered a few words, then turned back to the embers and said: "If you want to blame, blame you for being too kind, you actually believe that I Liu Wusheng will be your revolutionary comrade-in-arms, naïve!" I'll keep the things for you first, Mr. Yu, I'll spare you a life today, oh no...... I almost forgot that you are immortal, but whether you can paddle this boat ashore depends on whether you can outrun the killers. ”
After Liu Wusheng finished speaking, he turned around and made a fake shooting gesture at the embers, and then motioned for the connector to start the boat, and with a roar, it disappeared into the sea in an instant.
Yu Huo's eyes widened, looking at the back of Liu silently leaving, his heart was mixed, Yu Huo stroked the boat, and there was some regret in his heart.
The boat floated on the sea, and Ember sat alone in the bow of the boat, looking at the place where the sea and the sky meet, as if looking for hope for life.
The killers, as Liu Wusheng said, quickly chased after him, and their figures loomed over the sea.
The killers are getting closer, their eyes bloodthirsty and merciless.
Ember took advantage of the situation and found the silver needle, he would not just sit back like this, and was ready to face the killers head-on, trying to make a last stand.
At the critical moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew on the sea, and from the other side of the sea, a huge ship appeared, and the intensive shooting on the ship directly killed those killers on the sea.
