Chapter 22
"can we start?"
Seeing that everyone has no problem, 0141 asked.
Crack clap clap clap clap-
suck-
Maybe mechanical eating is also a way to relieve psychological stress.
……
"By the way, you are not allowed to leave your seat during the screening. Leaving your seat for more than five seconds is considered a voluntary abandonment. Friends who need to go to the toilet can solve it now, and you have to bear it during the screening." 0141 reminded road.
It seemed like no one wanted to go to the bathroom.
Everyone just wanted to end this round of the game as soon as possible. When recalling the tension again, every minute and every second before the result announcement was suffering.
Three seconds later, Suth stood up.
She took the popcorn bucket and walked towards the door, refilled the bucket with a blank face, and stuffed a golden one into her mouth, walked back with a bucket full of popcorn, and sat down.
Crack clap clap clap clap-
suck-
……
"I think it's time to start." Finally, He Dongsheng replied instead of everyone.
"Then please prepare yourself."
The lights dimmed again.
"The second round of the furnace game——"
The text on the big screen disappears.
"Games start."
The screen appears.
0141 does not speak quickly, and the style of one sentence after another, combined with the change of light and picture, can easily arouse people's tension.
In times of extreme tension, small sensory stimulation can lead to huge psychological fluctuations.
Such an opening is extremely unfavorable for eight people.
But inexplicably, the tension at the beginning was eased a lot.
Because when 0141 was talking, when the lights and screens were changing, it was continuous and rhythmic——
Crack clap clap clap clap-
suck-
Ruan Zemiao, who kept stuffing popcorn into his mouth, felt that if he could go out, he would never want to see popcorn again.
Xiang Ming felt that he should drink a glass of Coke, so maybe he could successfully quit carbonated drinks.
10 minute later.
Conversation gradually died down in the auditorium.
Two 10 minutes later.
No more eating popcorn and drinking Coke.
Four 10 minutes later.
There was a faint sound of breathing.
after an hour.
I don't know who is sobbing softly.
two hours later.
The lights came back on, but no one stood up.
Until 0141 was born with a reminder: "Everyone can rest for 5 minutes, and the results of the game will be announced in the conference room after 5 minutes."
Then I heard the sound of someone moving their body.
Ruan Zemiao heard someone going out, one, two, three.
When Diao Shishi passed by, he stopped and glanced at Ruan Zemiao, sighed, and walked away without saying a word.
Ruan Zemiao thought that the content of the video would be very shocking, but he didn't expect every scene to be so shocking.
The video is shot from a person's point of view, and what's on the screen appears to be what that person sees with their eyes.
In the first 2 minutes, it was a scene of happy family and everything going well.
Then the video officially begins——
The first scene is a slow-motion playback of the parents passing away in a car accident in front of the protagonist of the video, the funeral, the farewell ceremony for the body, and the falling of the monument.
The second scene is a long shot of the bereaved wife being caught and raped on the bed. Another man on the bed seems to be calling the protagonist of the video by his nickname. It seems that the two are brothers.
In the third scene, the company went bankrupt, and the yelling and ridicule almost drowned out the people in the auditorium.
The fourth scene is when it is discovered that the property has been emptied, and the culprit is the best brother.
The room temperature gradually decreased.
The fifth scene is that he lives alone in a dilapidated basement. After repeated job hunting, he works as a security guard in a company in the suburbs, but his dream is not dead, and he is still working hard to contact various friends to start a business again.
The sixth scene is in a familiar private room.
"I have an idea!"
"Stop talking, drink and drink."
"...it really works!"
"The economy is tough right now."
People around the round table made excuses to leave the table one by one. He sighed and used the money he had saved for three months to pay for the meal. The only thing he got was the sympathetic and mocking eyes of the waiter.
The seventh scene is finally ushering in the return of the daughter after studying.
He tidied himself up in advance, washed his hair and shaved his beard, put on the most available but old clothes at home and treated his daughter to dinner.
Like him, the restaurant my daughter loved when she was a child has become old, outdated, and no longer brilliant.
The daughter, who was wearing a famous brand, was still as good-looking as he remembered, but she ate less and was busier, so she would be full after two or three bites, and had to rush to run errands.
The car is the latest model, bought by her mother.
"Dad, I won't give it to you. You take the money and take a taxi home." Before leaving, the daughter took another look at his clothes, took out a stack of banknotes from her wallet, and stuffed them into his hand.
The seventh scene is when I go home and see that the stray dog I raised as a companion was beaten to death in front of the house, and was fined 8000 yuan by the community.The reason is keeping unlicensed dogs.
Then Ruan Zemiao didn't know the whereabouts of this man, and his life in the video stopped at the ticket on the dog's corpse.
The ensuing scene is one of endless war.
There is no fixed perspective, and scenes of war and plunder are shown from all directions.
Flying limbs, weapons coming and going, expressions of pain, faces of despair.
The sound of soaring artillery fire and heart-piercing shouts stimulated everyone's eardrums, and the temperature seemed to start to rise slowly again.
The length of the war scene exceeds everyone's imagination, and those who want to escape have to be in it.
Ruan Zemiao even thought that the anger and despair in her heart would last until the end of the screening.
Maybe who gets the thrill of a carnage?
If this is the case, it should be the last scene that can cause his mood swings.
The temperature dropped again, but this time suddenly, Tian Jiashu even shivered.
The last scene let go of the eardrums of eight people, and the volume of the video dropped along with the room temperature.
It is a silent video, and it also intimately starts the countdown for everyone.
With only 10 minutes left, the screening is over.
The countdown in the upper right corner starts, and a familiar figure appears on the screen——
In the picture, Luo Manshan is slowly walking towards the capsule.
There was no sound, but all the conversations of the day began to automatically replay in everyone's mind.
Tian Jiashu in the projection room opened her mouth to stop Luo Manshan in the video, but she couldn't make any sound as if her vocal cords had been cut off.
The psychological pressure of silence will only make people more silent.
It was only when the close-up was pushed forward that everyone saw how scared and flustered Omanshan was at that time, her pupils shrank, her jaw trembled, and physiological tears overflowed uncontrollably.
Finally, the flame ignited, and Luo Manshan's beautiful face was completely distorted.
Showing terminated.
"Ruan Zemiao."
"Ruan Zemiao!"
"...Miaomiao?"
……
Ruan Zemiao heard someone calling her.
He came back to look at the source of the voice, it was the worried Xiang Ming.
"Yeah." He nodded in response.
But he didn't want to lift his head up, and escape from reality for even a second.
But Xiang Ming would not give him time.
Since the two of them met, Xiang Ming never pampered Ruan Zemiao's avoidant character, and the two had quarreled countless times because of this, but under Xiang Ming's urging, Ruan Zemiao was really quick and effective in doing things during that time.
At that time, Ruan Zemiao was not grateful to Xiang Ming at all.
Now too.
Just because you think it's wrong for me to do this doesn't mean you have to deprive me of the right to do it, even if you are my boyfriend.
"Get up, you should go out now."
Sure enough, Xiang Ming did not forget his old profession.
But at this time, Ruan Zemiao also knew that it was useless to escape in this game, and it might bring unfavorable consequences, so it was rare in a hundred years, and when Xiang Ming used the imperative sentence to speak to him, he obediently got up and went out Walk.
Xiang Ming was not used to it, but he was not so cheap that he missed the feeling of being choked, he just raised his eyebrows and walked behind Ruan Zemiao.
Walking behind them was Tian Jiashu, whose face was full of tears.
Eight people sat around the conference table, their faces were ugly and unified.
The most eye-catching one was naturally Tian Jiashu, whose eyes were red and her cheeks were flushed from crying to lack of oxygen.
Ruan Zemiao was also in a bad mood at this time. He even felt that his score this round was the highest. After all, he is a person who gets emotional easily. From the first scene, he couldn't stop thinking about it. Going to swear, go running, go to the gym to vent your anger.
There is something in my heart that cannot be expressed.
However, Ruan Zemiao's education from his childhood family could not let him ignore a crying lady by his side.
He felt in his pocket, but there was no paper, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and look at Xiang Ming.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Ming immediately caught Ruan Zemiao's gaze.
"Do you have toilet paper?" Ruan Zemiao asked, but not in a begging tone.
Fortunately, Xiang Ming got used to his dog temper early on, thinking that this man must have just recovered from his nerves, and he used the imperative sentence to him again, and was getting angry.
But he didn't do it on purpose, he was really used to it.
Touching the pocket of his trousers, Xiang Ming revealed a piece of squarely folded toilet paper from the pocket.
Ruan Zemiao opened it up and looked familiar, as if it was a tissue paper that everyone had in their bedroom, and after folding it in half twice, it became the same as Xiang Ming gave it to him.
"They don't seem to provide tissues in the carry-on bag," Xiang Ming explained.
Ruan Zemiao was unmoved, and gave Xiang Ming a "no need to explain, I understand" look.
Ever since I was in college, I’ve been squeamish like this, refusing to spend a little more money to buy small packs of tissue paper for my carry-on. Every day, I tear off the cheapest roll-wrapped toilet paper of the same quality, fold it up, and take it out with you. This is your habit. Not even a day or two.
It's just that after so many years, I have made a lot of money, and I haven't changed it yet?
Ruan Zemiao gave Xiang Ming another suspicious look.
He looked at Xiangming, as if he wanted to eat people.
He calmly turned his head to Tian Jiashu's direction and handed the toilet paper to Tian Jiashu.
"Miss Jiashu, wipe it off."
Ruan Zemiao suddenly stopped the "Are you okay" that was about to blurt out, and replaced it with "Care it".
He felt fortunate that anyone with eyes could see that Tian Jiashu's situation was not good.
Everyone is not well, and after the two hours just now, even the expression on the face of Su Si, who seems the most indifferent, is not very good.
She stared fixedly at the table, and although she didn't furrow her brows deeply like the others, she could clearly see that she had been hit.
He Dongsheng on the side seemed a little worried about his student's psychological condition, so he turned sideways and whispered something to Su Si.
"Thank you." Tian Jiashu took it gently.
But a tissue didn't seem to be able to wipe away the tears all over her face.
Ruan Zemiao looked at Xiang Ming again.
No more, Xiang Ming spread his hands.
Helpless, Ruan Zemiao lay back on the back of the chair, continuing to worry about herself.
It was clearly a motionless posture, but her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
This time the silence was also broken by 0141.
"Are you mentally prepared, everyone?"
"No." Diao Shishi said.
This is the first time what 0141 said was picked up so quickly, but 0141 didn't sound very happy.
"Any questions?"
"No." Diao Shishi just subconsciously wanted to delay the time, but if he turned his mind to think of a reason, he had no choice.Not only him, but He Dongsheng, Xiang Ming, Ai Wen and others with clear minds probably wouldn't be able to react as quickly as usual in such a highly tense situation.
"We have scored you according to the psychological values detected by the bracelet just two hours ago. The one with the highest score is No.1, who is also the knockout of this round." 0141 paused and said: "Next, please see Screen."
