Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1912: The significance of puppet masters
1912
Lin Sanjiu couldn't even muster the strength to stand up. She sat dead on the chair and only glanced in the direction of the screams. Through a dazzling white light pillar, she could hardly see anything clearly, but she still understood rationally what was happening at this moment.
In fact, any evolver with a little experience will probably think of the same place when hearing the rules.
"Let go——"
The man started to speak, and then it turned into a scream. He didn't know what kind of treatment he was suffering. He couldn't even speak clearly next. There were only sounds of shouting for help, struggling and thrashing, which echoed in the huge stadium, pulling out long sound waves.
No one reached out to him, and even Lin Sanjiu was numb from exhaustion - he wasn't a real living person anyway, so what did it matter?
The chaotic sound of beating and begging for mercy went all the way up, passed through the seats on the stairs, and gradually approached the entrance to the auditorium. They were a certain distance away from the white light, and Lin Sanjiu finally saw clearly. In the auditorium on the other side of the stadium, half a distance away, there were indeed two entangled participants: one of them clearly had the upper hand, and was **** behind his back. There lived another man who kept struggling but could never escape. Although she was far away and could not see it, she thought that the latter must have a lot of injuries.
In less than twenty seconds, the ball will spin again, right? What does the guy who arrested someone plan to do...
The nearby woman who had been staring at the light beam suddenly took a few steps away.
Lin Sanjiu immediately caught her actions from the corner of his eye. When he followed her gaze, he understood immediately.
The time until the next rotation of the ball is very short. If you carry that person up and push him into the entrance of the auditorium, it will take a lot of effort and it will be difficult to ensure that you can escape; but those two people At this time, he was on a walkway. As long as he reached out and pushed, the victim would roll down all the way and fall right onto the edge of the stadium where a row of red words "No Stepping" were waiting with open mouths.
Obviously, the man who was caught also knew his future fate very well.
“No, please,” although he was not a real living person, his fear and sincerity were very real. His screams made Lin Sanjiu’s brows jump: “Don’t let him use it. I divert the target of the ball! Please, my ability is average, but I can see clearly——"
I don’t know what the person who caught him behind him did. His plea was interrupted by a scream.
When he struggled to speak again, his speech was slurred, as if he was holding a ball of blood and broken teeth. "As long as one person is used as a diversion target...you, all of you can't escape...you can't escape the fate of hunting each other..."
Lin Sanjiu raised his eyes and looked around.
There were figures dotted among the seats in the auditorium, but no one responded. In the empty stadium, the sound can easily travel far, and people must have heard it; they stretched their heads and looked around. People far away from the "no-go area" were motionless, while those close were still. Quickly moving outside, one side of the stadium was soon cleared.
If they were all real living people, in her current state, would she really lend a helping hand?
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to think further. She couldn't deny that there was indeed a faint feeling of happiness deep in her heart at this moment: Fortunately, the direction of the light beam falling next time was in the right direction - someone else's life could buy her thirty seconds of rest.
"You want them to save you?" The man who arrested the man gasped and laughed, "It's too late for them to thank me."
Lin Sanjiu lowered his eyes. If they weren't real living people, her scrutiny of herself would be meaningless... She thought as she looked up.
The distance is far enough, even if you don't get up and take a few steps, the ball's light beam will not touch you.
Her sore leg muscles seemed to be relieved.
"Get out of here!"
He shouted fiercely, raised his leg and kicked the prey; the man who was tied behind his back staggered, and just as Lin Sanjiu expected, he immediately rolled down the steps of the corridor—— Although he was shouting repeatedly just now, now he rolled down without saying a word. I don't know if it was for safety, but he was knocked unconscious long ago.
One person rolled down the steps, and the other person turned around and ran away. Everything must have gone as planned—except for one thing.
Their estimate of time was off by a second or two.
Seeing that the man was about to fall into the restricted area, the ball suddenly turned slightly and lifted the light beam from the auditorium.
Lin Sanjiu watched the ball swinging and turned his head towards her.
There was no point in escaping anymore; she suddenly slipped from the chair and shrank behind the chair in front of her - half of the chair was covered by the steps, and she was too tall. She just felt like an adult trying to get into the kindergarten tables and chairs, exposed to the eyes of the ball everywhere; this thought flashed through her mind, and under her closed eyes, a light suddenly appeared. There was a misty white.
She must have been photographed, otherwise why would her body be blank?
It wasn't until several gasps that Lin Sanjiu realized from the almost paralyzing fear that she was still alive.
This time, her prediction error was even greater: the direction where the ball finally stopped was exactly opposite her.
Many people who thought they were hiding in a safe zone just now were all hit by the beam of light; the snow-white beam of light stopped quietly in the stepped auditorium, like a white river breaking through the human world. On the contrary, the person who rolled down woke up in time just before falling into the restricted area. He hung one foot on the back of the chair and was twisting upwards.
Lin Sanjiu sighed deeply, climbed back on the chair and sat down. She couldn't miss any opportunity to rest and recover. She could continue to rest for another thirty seconds—no, I'm afraid it was a minute.
Because the man who arrested the person was walking back step by step, pushing a small cart that he found somewhere and selling hot dogs and drinks. He put his hands on the cart and stood at the top of the aisle, staring closely at the people below who were still twisting and struggling.
About twenty seconds later, his second attempt was successful.
The cart rumbled straight down the steps, quickly lost its balance, rolled several times in mid-air, and finally hit the tied man hard. He had already broken free from his restraints, but was hit so hard that he couldn't even scream. He fell down with a groan and rushed into the restricted area - the ball seemed to have been awakened, and immediately Turning around, the snow-white light beam passed through the dark rain curtain and fell on the man in the restricted area.
The light beam once again divided the stadium, dividing life and death.
The sturdy man who pushed the person down had just happened to hide in a few rows of seats near Lin Sanjiu. At this time, he popped his head out from between the seats and couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.
When Lin Sanjiu thought back later, he always felt like there was a curse that silently enveloped the stadium at that moment.
This is the first time since the beginning of the "game" that everyone avoided the light beam intact.
When everyone realized this, the slightly alert people in the auditorium opposite the stadium started to move. Their running this time was no longer to avoid the beam of light. Some of them were to get as far away from others as possible, and some were to catch up with others before they ran far away. For a time, the stadium was full of exclamations, curses and shouts, and some people shouted repeatedly like crazy: "There are enough people! I counted them before, there are enough people! As long as fifty-nine more people die, we will be left with It’s safe! Limited time opportunity, who can team up with me——”
"This is the way to clear customs..."
The strong man's muttering drifted into Lin Sanjiu's ears along the air. She glanced back and happened to catch the man's eyes - there were only Lin Sanjiu and another woman nearby. In his eyes, they must be no different than two pieces of tribute.
Lin Sanjiu stared at him and slowly stood up from her seat.
When he saw her height and figure clearly, the man's expression changed slightly, and he seemed to be a little hesitant.
"It's been a minute,"
A voice rang out suddenly, it was the woman who was always standing not far away. "As soon as you saw the light beam stop, you immediately fell into the chair. You didn't even stand up in this minute...Are you exhausted? No energy left?"
What her intentions were, Lin Sanjiu had already made up his mind the moment the words hit his ears. She looked untouchable, and the woman was afraid that she would become the next target - after all, weren't these people trying desperately to pour disaster on others?
Lin Sanjiu's first reaction was to look up at the sky.
Last time, we went back to the rain curtain in mid-air, and it didn’t stop there. Even though the black slab was still in Lin Sanjiu's hands, there seemed to be no sign of regrowth in the western corner of the city, but the rain curtain continued to sink without hesitation.
The Puppet Master only has a few minutes left; not only does she have no idea what the "key item" is, but her own safety is now in question.
What does stadium games mean to puppeteers? What can appear here must be something of great significance to him. Just using white light beams to kill evolved people and forcing evolved people to kill each other is another matter for him——
She heard the footsteps of the muscular man slowly walking towards her.
Lin Sanjiu’s thoughts were interrupted. With her current physical strength, this battle would probably be very difficult; but after thinking about it, she still faced him and slowly climbed up the stairs. If she ran away now, the whole stadium would know that she was a softie. This man must be used to scare the monkeys, so as to ensure that she can find the key items as undisturbed as possible.
"No!"
A shrill girl's voice suddenly tore through the air, causing Lin Sanjiu and the man opposite to tremble at the same time. The girl's voice came from the other side of the stadium. She was screaming, yelling and beating, and she was obviously caught. In the distance, someone shouted: "Brother, hurry up, there are less than ten seconds left!" ”
Lin Sanjiu and the muscular man were face to face, separated by three or four steps, and they both stopped. This time the tribute is available, and the fight can wait until the next time the white light stops.
"No, I have just evolved, I am only twenty-three years old, please——"
Her cries were cut off by a muffled sound ~IndoMTL.com~ leaving a silent stadium suddenly empty. Immediately, the sound of a human body hitting and rolling down the steps rang loudly, rolling further and further away. Finally, it was like a baby bird breaking open its eggshell, releasing a burst of white light.
The girl was immersed and melted in the white light.
The moment the white light beam stopped, no one dared to move. Even Lin Sanjiu and the sturdy man opposite were still glancing in the direction of the light beam with their peripheral vision and did not make a move; however, at this moment, a figure quietly approached the light beam.
Lin Sanjiu didn't dare to turn around and look, she just pricked up her ears and listened with bated breath.
The man sighed.
"Only twenty-three years old..."
The female host, who has been missing since the beginning of the game, is standing next to the light beam, her voice is deep, as if she is soaked in some kind of emotion. "There are so many things in the world that you can no longer see, so many joys and sorrows that you can no longer experience... You have been loved and raised by someone, but in the hands of another person, you are even worse than a piece of mud."
She lowered her head, buried her face in her hands, and said no more.
