The Game Show of Death: Demons of Reason

Nietzsche: We love life not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving.There is always a certain madness in love.As if there is always some rationality in the madness.

In the midsummer of the year when I was 18, I had just entered university at the end of the year.

The foundation of psychology started from Freud, and I yawned after listening to it.After finishing the notes with the ballpoint, he pouted his lips, clamped the pen between his upper lips, and looked out the window boredly.

"I see—I see—"

There is a faint sound of cicadas chirping, but I don’t feel it when I’m used to listening to it in China. In fact, the cicada chirping is very harsh, hoarse and exhausted, which makes people uncomfortable to listen to.The cicadas here are rare insects, so this cry is unavoidably abrupt.Nian Weiji followed the sound and found it was from a dying cicada on the asphalt road.The cicada fell to the ground on its back, singing intermittently, moving slowly, still struggling.

The male cicada sings to attract a mate, but it is still singing when it is dying, not giving itself a moment to breathe.Is it calling for love or for help?Nian Weiji stared at the cicada, and didn't notice a person walking from the sidewalk. A pair of white shell shoes came into Nian Weiji's field of vision, and he looked up.

The boy was wearing a light blue sweater, standing upright, and was smiling at him with a graceful smile, red lips and white teeth.The young man is very beautiful, so beautiful that after a long time, a kind of panic will arise spontaneously, as if chronic poisoning, there is no cure.

At the end of the year, he looked around and was sure that the boy was looking at him, so he couldn't help turning his head away with a warm face.

When I looked out the window again, the boy had already left.

The cicadas on the ground were trampled to pieces, torn apart, their juices flowing, and the transparent cicada wings shattered all over the ground, gradually giving off a stench under the scorching sun.

But Nian Weiji just thought blankly: It turns out that boys can also smile so beautifully.

Now, Wei Zixu was sitting opposite him, still smiling so nicely, but he didn't seem to know Nian Weiji at all, and was looking at him with completely unfamiliar eyes.

Nian Weiji had only been classmates with Wei Zixu for two years, but those two years left a deep impression on him and he vividly remembered them.It turned out that those memories were only cherished by Nian Weiji himself, and Wei Zixu had long since forgotten them, just like when he was a boy who crushed dying cicadas into meat, he didn't even think about it.I feel a little unhappy at the end of the year, but it is fleeting. After all, we have been separated for 11 years. It is normal not to remember, just get to know each other again.

Speaking of which, we still need to contact Lao Wang, Wei Zixu is not dead, he is alive and kicking, and can continue to serve the people like a cow or a horse.

Thinking of Lao Wang, at the end of the year, I remembered that Lao Wang mentioned DEATHSHOW, an international criminal gang, if it is the same as the current DEATHSHOW, it would be a coincidence.Lao Wang said that the victims died in the game almost without exception. If it is true, then his time is numbered. If you think about it optimistically, you can still be friends with Wei Zixu for seven days at most.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't matter anymore.

However, what puzzled Nian Weiji was that Wei Zixu was a criminal policeman by profession, so how could he become a director after missing for three years?The entertainment industry is so messy?

"Didi—" Nian Weiji was about to speak, but was interrupted by the time chime.

[The time is up, everyone has introduced themselves in great detail, and the atmosphere is harmonious, I believe you will become bosom friends soon. 】

[Before starting to form a team, let me explain the terminals for you.Please look at your right wrist. 】

The metal ring on everyone's right wrist was opened, and Nian Weiji looked down. There was a stitch scar on the skin of the wrist, and a faint blue light flickered under the skin.

[The terminal records your card information. After forming a team, it will also record all team points. There are more functions, which I will explain when I use them.Each terminal has one terminal. In order to prevent players from accidentally losing it, I embedded it in the gap between the radial and ulnar bones and connected to the radial and ulnar nerves. Please do not take it out without authorization. It will be very painful, and it may damage the nerves and lead to paraplegia. Please pay attention. 】

"Ahhh!" Hearing that something was embedded in his body, Ni Shang screamed, his face turned pale.

"Fuck! You are crazy!" Zhou Tong cursed, his chest heaved, and he seemed to be quite frightened.

Ni Shang got close to Nian Wei already, his ears rang from the screams, he frowned and shook his head.At the end of the year, I can't figure out why other people are so repulsive.The terminal recorded such important information as the card content, how to keep it became a problem. The director is very thoughtful, embedded in the body, waterproof and anti-theft, I feel very convenient at the end of the year, otherwise I have to bother to protect the terminal.

[Now untie all the shackles, please form a team freely. The first game starts after 15 minutes. 】

The metal rings were all opened, Chen Luyao immediately got up and looked for the exit, Mick followed, Song He hurriedly stopped the bleeding on his left hand, and then ran behind them.The three of them formed a party and walked along the walls of the chamber just looking for a way out.On the other side, Qin Guican and Zhou Tong watched coldly, not only keeping a distance from the three, but also not wanting to miss the opportunity to leave.The young lovers and the twins were doing their own thing, discussing something with each other in low voices.Miss Zeng's seat was vacant. It turned out that she hid in a corner early in the morning, with her head down, far away from everyone.

A table was more than half empty, only the mixed-race woman was indifferent, still staring blankly at the table, and didn't even say her name.

At the end of the year, he was not in a hurry to stand up, and first checked his body roughly, except for his right wrist, there was no external injury.The clothes were still the same as when he was kidnapped, the mobile phone and other communication equipment were confiscated, and the credit card and car keys were in the wallet.After checking, he stood up slowly while leaning on the armrest.Even so, there was still a sense of dizziness and lightheadedness.

"Those three are really hardworking." Nian Weiji muttered, starting from the cervical spine to do stretching exercises, twisting the waist, shaking the legs, and jumping, just like the relaxation exercises he did when he was working overtime.Although being watched by Zhou Tong, Jin Jue and others with unreasonable eyes, Doctor Nian was unmoved. The current situation is very strange, but it is necessary to take care of the body, and we cannot put the cart before the horse.

After tidying up from head to toe, feeling refreshed both physically and mentally, he walked straight to Wei Zixu.

Wei Zixu was originally watching everyone's actions, intending to join the group looking for an exit.But he seems to be confused by the status quo, he dare not approach others hastily, hesitating until now.When he was finally about to take a step, he was cut off by Nian Wei.

Nian Wei had already cut to the chase, and said with a smile, "Do you want to form a team with me?"

"Huh?" Wei Zixu asked, "Do you want to form a team with me?"

Nian Wei nods madly.

Wei Zixu kindly reminded: "But you don't know my cards, so you can't be sure if it is beneficial to you. Besides, we don't know each other, and we don't know if the other party is trustworthy. You don't think it's too imprudent to choose me as a teammate. ?"

I don't know him yet, when did this kid forget about his genius?Although Nian Wei has a thick skin, it is still a bit embarrassing to have a relationship with someone who openly declares that he does not know him, so he explained: "Anyway, I don't know anyone else, so let's stick to the principle."

"That's true." Wei Zixu thought it made sense, thought for a while, and made a request: "You tell me your card information first, and I'll think about it later."

His prudence has not changed.Nian Weiji generously stretched out his right hand, called up the card projection, and showed Wei Zixu the whole thing.Because the light is emitted from the subcutaneous area, the imaging is a little blurry, but it is barely enough to see. The thin layer of skin is penetrated by the light, and the microvessels are clearly visible.

"How about it, deep hypnosis, I still have a little use, right?" Nian Weiji said doggy.

"Hmm..." Wei Zixu squeezed his chin, and examined the "Devil" card with a picky look.

While he was thinking about it, Nian Wei had approached him and said, "I told you mine, why don't you tell me yours too?"

Wei Zixu looked at him and frowned: "Mine is 'The Hanged Man'. As for the specific content, I can't tell you yet."

At the end of the year, he let out an "oh", and suddenly found that there was another person beside him, Zhou Tong came uninvited, and was staring at Wei Zixu intently.

"You two have formed a team?" Zhou Tong said, "Add me."

"Miss Zhou, I am very glad that you are willing to form a team with me." Wei Zixu smiled habitually, and said politely: "But I hope we can get to know each other first before considering forming a team. The young doctor has already put his Show me the card information, would you mind telling me yours?"

"Did you tell him?" Zhou Tong looked at Nian Weiji suspiciously.This man behaved strangely and was very off-line. At first, she thought he was frightened and stupid, but now it seemed that he was simply lack of nerve.

Zhou Tong turned to Wei Zixu again, he was more eye-catching when he smiled.If this was the usual situation, she would have agreed to whatever he asked for first, but now the situation is special, and everyone is extremely vigilant. Zhou Tong is not stupid enough to show his hole cards to others.

Zhou Tong folded his arms: "You talk about yourself first."

Wei Zixu did not back down: "Ladies first."

Zhou Tong squinted his eyes, looked at Wei Zixu's expression, and then moved his eyes elsewhere, as if weighing the pros and cons.

"Okay, I can tell you, anyway, you can't use the functions of this card without me."

Zhou Tong slowed down and said clearly: "My card is 'High Tower', which can provide 6 different refuges outside the game time. It is an absolutely safe area and can defend against all dangers encountered outside the game. The location of the refuge Expressed in three-dimensional coordinates, I need to identify my terminal to open it, and then I will lead you there."

Wei Zixu waited for her to finish, and asked: "Now it's outside the game time, can you tell me a coordinate first so I can confirm it?"

Zhou Tong shook his head: "The coordinates are updated every 2 minutes, and I don't know the exact coordinates now. And checking the coordinates once is equivalent to using a shelter. There is no danger here, and I don't want to waste an opportunity."

"Oh..." Wei Zixu nodded slightly: "But, the three of us can't be together all the time outside of game time. For example, the two of you have advanced to the shelter, how can I find you? "

"It's simple." Zhou Tong shook his right wrist: "I saw that this terminal has a communication function. I can make the shelter open and send you the coordinates, and you can find it yourself."

"Can I find you with the coordinates you gave, in case I get there and find nothing..."

Zhou Tong interrupted him: "Hey, why should I lie to you with fake coordinates? If I don't give you the coordinates, it's over. But since we form a team, to put it bluntly, we want to use each other. With your help, only in this way can I ensure my own safety. I have made a long-term plan."

"No, Miss Zhou, you misunderstood. I'm not questioning your character." Wei Zixu hastily added: "What I mean is that the shelter may have moved secretly and changed its location before you noticed it."

"Ah? That's a big space, how do you move it?" Zhou Tong didn't expect this question.

"Because you said that the coordinates are updated every 2 minutes, but the location of the shelter is fixed, which confuses me..." Wei Zixu asked Zhou Tong hesitantly as if he couldn't figure it out.

Zhou Tong blinked and looked down at the terminal: "But that's what is written on this card? Three-dimensional coordinates...dynamic update...absolute defense..."

"Could it be that the coordinate system is changed, the coordinates change accordingly, and the uncertain coordinate system makes the location of the shelter more confusing?" Wei Zixu followed her words.

"Yes, it's very possible." Zhou Tong agreed, "Then I'll send you the coordinate system and the coordinates together, and you can definitely find it!"

"No need." Wei Zixu smiled and waved his hand.

"Specification is the most important point in military operations. The coordinate system used for positioning is universal and fixed. I guess the shelter is not your card skill, Ms. Zhou. You have explained too much to convince me, and you can't justify yourself. .I can't see your sincerity, please allow me to reject your request to form a team."

"Sincerity, are you telling me your sincerity?" Zhou Tong said harshly: "If you just ask someone to show the card content, a normal person would not say it. Although my skill is not a refuge, it is much more useful than that You will definitely regret it if you don’t form a team with me!”

Facing her harsh criticism, Wei Zixu replied politely: "Miss Zhou, I believe your skills are very useful, so you didn't tell me. As for whether I will regret it, that's not certain."

During their argument, Nian Weiji quietly watched the whole process, watching Wei Zixuan leave Zhou Tong.

Wei Zixu's performance is approachable and not aggressive at all. He uses a discussion tone instead of a questioning tone, as if communicating on the basis of trusting the other party, which invisibly relieves the other party of a lot of defenses and makes it easier to expose problems. "You still like to set people up so much." Nian Weiji couldn't help but say.

Wei Zixu: "What?"

"It's okay." Nian Wei has changed his words: "However, she said a lot of specific settings, I think at least half of them are true. Using dynamic coordinate positioning, 6 chances, very useful, guess what?"

Wei Zixu: "Maybe it's a special prop or something. It's meaningless to guess it, and it won't be used by me."

"Oh." Nian Wei has turned his head to look at Wei Zixu, pouted and said, "You said that he was not sincere, and you didn't want to tell me your card..."

"You can find someone else to form a team." Wei Zixu smiled.

"No, no, I didn't say I didn't want to."

"Besides, as far as you are concerned, I think this is very good." Nian Weiji smiled naturally, and the two pear dimples were full of air, which caught Wei Zixu's eyes, "You don't want to tell me, instead of making up lie to me."

"Being rejected by you is much better than being deceived by you." Nian Weiji said.
