Chapter 39 Cold Woman
Chapter 39 Cold Woman
Reception room.
There was still blood and broken meat on the ground. The four invited guests turned their eyes to the cold-looking woman, who began to speak slowly.
"Many years ago, the doctor told me that I had a serious mental illness and advised me to use medication as soon as possible. As for this matter, I think I have always been healthy and I don't think it is necessary to take medicine. After all, cutting off the mind is also a form of suicide in a sense."
"But I admit that this world is extremely boring to me. I think living is a boring thing to be outrageous."
"I used to be like other normal people, indulging in all kinds of pleasures, but as time went by, I was left with only disappointment. Nothing could appease my natural boredom. Even if someone said to me, 'Well, this game is super fun and will definitely make you addicted', I would not try it immediately. As long as I thought about turning on the computer, booting up, logging in, and loading, it would be boring as hell, like waiting before hanging myself."
"So for a while, apart from eating and drinking, I just lay on the sofa and fantasized, then cut off my thoughts one by one. If I had to work hard for a living, I might not have to do this. If I had wealth that rivaled that of a country, I could indulge in wine and women. It's boring that I'm just neither here nor there."
"But that changed because of an accident."
"It was one afternoon four years ago. An old lady was crossing the road. The traffic was very fast and she did not use the traffic lights. When she walked to the middle of the road, I happened to see this scene. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, I shouted loudly."
"careful!"
"That was basically it. She retracted her leg and turned to look at me. The nearest driver must have thought she was going back. Everything happened so suddenly."
"Do you think the old lady died like this? I'm sorry, she was fine. The driver swerved the steering wheel, the car ran over the guardrail and rushed onto the sidewalk, and people were rubbing shoulders on the street."
"Nine dead, eleven injured. I'm sorry you couldn't see it, but the car was like a rocket, and the driver was stepping on the accelerator with all his might. I even suspected he was just out for revenge."
"It was a big incident and the investigation was very thorough afterwards, but I didn't suffer any punishment. And because of my kind reminder, I became close friends with the old lady. She cried and told me that I saved her life and wanted to introduce her son to me."
"About three months later, a truck carrying grapes overturned at the entrance of the town where the old lady lived. The driver was very anxious and kept making phone calls on the roadside. I happened to see this scene when I was out visiting the old lady, so I mentioned it casually."
"What I didn't expect was that she controlled a large intelligence network. Forgive me for using this word rashly, because the news spread really quickly. A large group of people picked up all the grapes on the ground."
"The driver uploaded the video to social media, which brought a lot of pressure from the public and many accusations. The old lady's cousin had always had a bad relationship with her and knew her pain points best."
"The two of them had an argument, and then they started fighting. A few teenagers who were passing by saw this and started to take sides."
"I swear, the old lady just fell lightly."
"She's dead."
"Later, her son came back from another place and found me to ask about the situation. I explained it to him in detail, and then a well-known local family murder case occurred, with five people dead and two injured."
"These two accidents made me feel very happy, but please don't think it was just luck, because I put a lot of effort into it. In fact, I tried every day for three months until I finally got the hang of the murder case."
"And in the next three years, I succeeded more than a dozen times, and the death toll reached ninety-nine."
"But unfortunately, as my success rate kept rising, I felt bored again. Before I could find new fun, I received an invitation to the Death Cruise."
……
The reading of the crimes ends.
At the conference table, a middle-aged seaman complained: "It's too hellish. It's really unlucky for that old lady to meet you."
The veins on the burly man's forehead were exposed as he forced himself to suppress his anger. The phrase "taking human life lightly" could not describe the other party's cruelty.
"Do you dare to tell me your name?" The cold woman said indifferently: "Si Ning, when my parents were still alive, they called me Little Lemon, which means innocent and cute."
"Good good."
The burly man bowed his head and applauded, he had nothing to say.
Jiang He said nothing, feeling a little abstract.
Si Ning's expression was calm but a little excited as he announced, "This game is actually over. I don't think any of you are crazy enough to kill over a hundred people."
"And according to the clearance condition ①: the person with the heaviest sin dies, and the invited person passes. Clearance condition ②: the person with the heaviest sin commits murder, and he/she passes."
"If I commit suicide, I can satisfy both the death and murder of the most sinful person, and achieve a happy ending in the death game."
"Based on the time difference between cardiac death and brain death, in order for me who is suicidal to complete the level, there is a good chance that I can be rescued immediately on the Death Cruise. Of course, it doesn't matter if I guess wrong. My art just makes up for it with myself."
Si Ning reached out and grasped the handle of the gun, and the other four people made similar movements to prevent others from killing them.
Host Z1 said: "The right to use firearms has been issued."
Si Nian pointed the gun at himself without hesitation.
But someone is faster than her.
The host Z1 pulled out a gun and shot, hitting Si Nian right in the heart. She immediately let out an indescribable and horrifying whimper and fell heavily to the ground from her chair. Her limbs twitched slightly and she was in great pain. Blood spread on her clothes and she died in the blink of an eye.
The middle-aged crew member stood up and said angrily: "What right do you have to attack the invitees!"
Once there are no relevant regulations, they will become fish on the chopping board of the host.
Jiang He was a little uncertain and said, "If the ending is that the person with the heaviest sins and all the invited guests survive, then there will be no deaths in this game. According to rule ②, the host will die, but according to rule ③, the host can fight back, so he shot. In this way, the Death Cruise obviously does not support the cooperation between wolves and sheep in the game."
The burly man asked, "What if the counterattack is successful?"
Host Z1 sneered: "Then you can take my place, but don't get too complacent. The host also has to participate in the game regularly as an invited guest."
The burly man gave up the idea of risking his life. The reward was not proportional to the risk. If the host would always be in a position to decide his life and death, then it would be worth giving it a try.
Host Z1 said, "The game continues. Everyone return your guns. Next person clockwise."
The burly man looked stunned. "You mean, there are people who are more evil than that asshole woman?"
Jiang He frowned, he had many deaths on his hands, most of which were caused by Qingbing, but the invitation letter only detected 8 of them, which was not as good as Si Ning's accidental killings.
The middle-aged sailor was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't mean to do that."
The burly man was shocked: "Really? What kind of beast are you?"
