Chapter 36: The Hand of Punishment
Chapter 36: The Hand of Punishment
The people in the living room began to relax a little after Luo Xi and Zhou Xinpeng left.
After all, the atmosphere just now was too tense.
Wang Tao observed everyone carefully. He pretended to sit on the bench over there, while Zhang the Butcher walked over and talked in a low voice with Liu Mao.
Liu Mao's wife hugged the two children and whispered to comfort them.
That woman Song Yan is still in a coma.
I don’t know if Zhou Xinpeng drugged him.
Wang Tao didn't talk to anyone. He was not good at talking, especially in this situation. What's more, he was very anxious and nervous.
"That Luo Xi must have bad intentions, but I have no choice. If Zhou Ya launches the killing time, I will not be able to survive. I no longer have memory cards. If I kill other people who have recovered their memories, there are too many people in this room. If I do it, I may not succeed and I will be targeted."
Wang Tao looked at Song Yan again at this time.
"This woman is easy to kill. If I kill her, I can get a memory card. Although there is a risk of it being stolen, Liu Mao and the butcher surnamed Zhang should not interfere. Wait a minute, I have an idea. I can kill Song Yan first, and then kill Zhou Ya immediately. This way, not only will I have a way to retreat, but once I succeed, I can pass the level and get more rewards."
"Yes, let's do this. I'll kill Zhou Ya and run away. Luo Xi just said that the administrator cannot leave this room. And because I killed Zhou Ya, there will be no killing time even at noon. Haha, perfect!"
The more Wang Tao thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was the best option. Most importantly, he subjectively believed that killing Zhou Ya would bring a very generous reward.
Because before this, Luo Xi had whispered to him that killing the 'cleaner' would definitely bring more rewards, far exceeding the rewards for killing an ordinary memory collector.
There is actually nothing wrong with this theory.
It kind of makes sense.
But if you analyze it carefully, you will find that there is no connection between killing the Memory Collector and killing the cleaner.
But now Wang Tao can no longer think so deeply.
Or even if he thought about it, he would still gamble.
Gamblers all know that when they sit at the card table, they either win or lose, and the possibility of losing is greater, but they still bet everything for the extremely small probability of winning. This is the "gambler's mentality."
Desire is like a little blue pill. It always makes people have unrealistic self-confidence and stubbornly believe that "I can do it".
Wang Tao seemed to be on drugs at this time. He stood up secretly, then quietly walked behind Song Yan's chair. When the time was right, he suddenly stabbed the woman's neck with the fruit knife in his hand.
He was afraid that the man would not die in one stab, so he stabbed him several more times.
Blood spurted out immediately.
On the sofa opposite, Liu Mao's family and Zhang the butcher were all stunned.
The incident happened too suddenly. No one expected that Wang Tao, who had been so obedient and invisible just now, would suddenly attack Song Yan who had no power to resist.
This woman died unjustly.
Seeing Liu Mao and Zhang the Butcher stand up, Wang Tao immediately raised the fruit knife in his hand: "It's none of your business, don't bother me."
After saying that, he immediately ran towards the bedroom.
It seemed that after seeing the blood, Wang Tao's inherent ferocity was aroused, or in other words, he became bloodthirsty.
All he had in mind now was killing Zhou Ya.
Because the results of Luo Xi's previous analysis were impeccable, and Zhou Ya always started the killing time at noon, then before that, the opponent should be an ordinary person and could be killed.
It just so happens that Zhou Xinpeng is not here, this is a great opportunity.
And if Zhou Ya is killed, there will definitely be tons of rewards.
With these thoughts in his mind, Wang Tao rushed to the bedroom door and turned the doorknob.
Can't open.
Wang Tao immediately banged on the door, banging on it with all his might.
This kind of bedroom door was not strong, and it was actually knocked open after he hit it three times.
Wang Tao couldn't even bear the force and fell through the door.
He immediately got up and stared into the bedroom.
The bedroom is not big, and it is obviously a little girl's bedroom. It is decorated in a very girlish style. There is a bed with many cute dolls on it, and a girl is lying on the bed.
The little girl was wearing a white dress and was covered in blood, with half of her body stained red.
The source of the blood was the little girl's chest.
There was a knife stuck in there.
If you look closely, you can see that the girl is actually still alive, but her breath is very weak.
It is also because the knife was not pulled out. If it had been pulled out, the amount of blood loss would have been greater and death might have occurred soon.
Wang Tao never expected this situation to happen. He was stunned, but he understood that the dying little girl on the bed was Zhou Ya.
Because he had seen the other person.
Yes.
He remembered that every time he was strangled to death by hair, he would see a girl in a red dress before he died, looking at him with extremely cold and resentful eyes.
It’s Zhou Ya!
Because it was the last scene seen in the near-death state, the memory is vivid but also very vague, and can only be recalled under certain circumstances.
"Yes, kill her, kill her, and everything will be over." Wang Tao had already heard Zhou Xinpeng's crazy roar behind him.
He knew that time was running out and he had to act immediately.
At this time, Wang Tao had nothing in his mind but one thought.
Kill Zhou Ya!
He pounced forward and stabbed Zhou Ya in the neck with a knife.
But at the same time, Wang Tao also felt like he was hit by a wild bull. He flew up and hit the wall hard.
After falling to the ground, Wang Tao felt severe pain all over his body.
Bones are broken.
And more than one was broken.
so what?
I already have the memory card and have killed Zhou Ya. In the next cycle, everything will be over and I can escape from this place.
Thinking of this, the pain didn't seem to go away, but his throat felt blocked. He was spitting blood, and couldn't stop. And because he needed to breathe, he choked on the blood, which flowed into his lungs, causing severe pain like a needle prick.
Wang Tao felt like he was being pulled up by someone with tremendous brute force, and the last thing he saw was Zhou Xinpeng, who looked like a ferocious ghost. The other party snatched two cards from him, one [Memory] and one [Plunder].
Afterwards, he felt a slap from the other party, and then he fell into complete darkness.
Zhou Xinpeng tortured and killed Wang Tao.
It was at this time that everyone realized that Zhou Xinpeng's strength and speed were far beyond that of normal people, because no normal person could smash a person's head into pieces with just the power of one palm, just like smashing a watermelon against the wall.
That's really messy.
"Ah, die, die!" Zhou Xinpeng was torturing the corpse.
Like crazy.
Or perhaps, he was already crazy and was only relying on his remaining sanity to maintain the appearance of a normal person. Wang Tao's behavior shattered his last bit of sanity.
Everyone outside was staring in amazement.
Only Luo Xi had a blank expression on his face, as if he had expected this to happen.
After killing Wang Tao, the bedroom was like a large meat grinder. It was like hell, with minced meat and blood all over the floor.
Zhou Xinpeng turned his head and looked at everyone with crazy eyes.
"You all must die!"
Everyone's heart was pounding, and Liu Mao's wife and children were so frightened that they couldn't cry anymore.
There's no way. This scene is not only inappropriate for children, any normal person would develop a mental illness. Moreover, Zhou Xinpeng obviously lost his mind because his daughter was murdered. Not only did he kill Wang Tao, he also took his anger out on other people.
"Luo Bo, you broke the rules!" Luo Xi said.
Then there was a look of anticipation on their faces, like audiences waiting for a play to begin, or like children waiting to open birthday gift boxes.
Zhou Xinpeng realized something.
His eyes widened, and after a brief moment of shock, he roared wildly and wanted to rush over to kill people.
But as soon as he took a step, his body froze.
That feeling was like being instantly stuck in extremely sticky glue, and the whole body switched between violence and stillness without any buffer.
Zhou Xinpeng tried to struggle.
But it was obviously in vain, as if he was being grabbed by an invisible hand.
Then, he floated up while stiffening and trembling slightly.
This scene has a supernatural feeling that is torn from reality, and it has a strong impact, especially in this environment.
No one in the living room dared to say a word.
At this time, Zhou Xinpeng no longer had the hostility he had before. His eyes revealed fear and deep reluctance. He tried to turn his head, but the invisible force suppressed him, so he couldn't even do the simple action of turning his head.
Tears flowed from Zhou Xinpeng's eyes.
He stared with unwilling eyes, as if he was fighting against fate, but his means of resistance was just to turn his head away.
What are you turning your head for?
Luo Xi realized something, but the next moment, Zhou Xinpeng was crushed to pieces.
It is not an exaggerated adjective, it means exactly what it says. A living person is like being crushed into meat paste by an invisible hand.
The broken limbs and head fell to the ground, followed by the squeezed internal organs and blood, which flowed all over the ground.
The scene was so horrifying that everyone stood there in a daze, as if they had forgotten to breathe.
Until the phone in the living room rang.
It was an old landline telephone on a table.
Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, it keeps ringing.
No one dared to answer it, or rather, everyone had not yet recovered from the shocking, bloody and horrifying scene that had just occurred.
Luo Xi walked over and picked up the phone.
"Hello, I'm the administrator Baicai. Since the administrator of Sega Apartment Building, Luobo, has violated the rules and has been punished, the Sega Apartment Building scene will be cancelled in the next round of the Day of Confinement. However, this time the scene will still proceed according to the original mechanism, including the rewards for clearing the level, etc. I would like to inform you and wish you a happy game!"
After that, hang up directly.
Dudududu~~
There was only a busy tone on the phone.
The next moment, the entire Sega apartment building began to shake as if there was an earthquake, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and stench.
Outside the window, the sky suddenly darkened, and there was an indescribable feeling of oppression.
Apparently the killing time has begun.
Luo Xi put down the phone, thought for a moment, and walked into the bedroom. He squatted down and picked up two cards from the blood and body parts.
【Memory】and 【Plunder】.
It was taken from Wang Tao by Zhou Xinpeng before he killed him.
There was a mirror in the bedroom, which was also stained with blood. Luo Xi looked up and saw Luo Xi, who was wearing glasses, with a look of horror on his face.
"Fuck, what kind of shitty world is this? Did you see it just now? Did you see it? That huge hand appeared out of nowhere and crushed Zhou Xinpeng alive. It's crazy. Did you see that hand?"
Luo Xi, who wore glasses, was somewhat incoherent.
Behind him, several figures were trembling, obviously frightened.
Luo Xi outside the mirror had a blank expression on his face. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture to keep quiet.
"Hush, calm down. You guys want to fight me, don't you? Are you scared by such a small scene? No way?"
"."
In the mirror, a low curse could be heard faintly.
"madman!"
"abnormal!"
"No wonder we lost to him!"
