Lonely Immortal
Chapter 5: You can get in but you can’t get out
At this moment, everyone stared at the pills in their hands. The two teenagers were so nervous that they were sweating. Should they take it or not? They were obviously hesitant.
They didn't know which of these pills were poisonous and which were non-toxic. They just picked one at random. Especially one of the teenagers, he hesitated for a while after taking a pill, then simply closed his eyes and stuffed it into his mouth with a bite of his teeth.
The other teenager holding the Yiqi Pill saw the teenager next to him swallow the pill, and he was even more hesitant. He just looked at the reaction of the teenager next to him.
At this time, the whole audience was silent.
The teenager who swallowed the pill stood stiffly, waiting for the judgment of fate.
Time passed bit by bit, and it was obvious that he was not poisoned.
"Okay, you can choose to leave or continue to take it."
The young man in green said to the teenager who took the pill.
Hearing this, the boy who took the pill was relieved, and then left without looking back. Obviously, he did not intend to try other pills. He did not want to try this kind of feeling of wandering at the gates of hell again.
The boy holding the Yiqi Pill saw that the other party left safely, so he dared not take it easily, because the two boys in front of him were not poisoned, so the possibility of his poisoning was very high.
This is a psychological reaction that normal people have, because the poisonous pills accounted for two-thirds, and the other boys stared at the pills in his hand. Their thoughts were similar to the boy. They thought that the boy could not be so lucky. The probability of three people not being poisoned was too low.
"What are you in a daze? Hurry up!"
The young man in green shouted coldly, frightening the boy and putting the Yiqi Pill back in his hand. He obviously thought that the pill was likely to be poisonous, so he immediately changed another one.
Seeing him like this, the young man in green shirt flashed a trace of contempt and indifference in his eyes, and then said lightly: "Have you chosen it?"
The young man hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Well, don't let me remind you again!"
The voice was not loud, but the young man seemed a little surprised. He thought that this was the young man in green shirt secretly reminding him, so he immediately swallowed the pill in his hand without hesitation.
After he swallowed the pill, the other young men stared at him intently. Zhang Zhiwen stood at the back and saw all this. He was relieved in his heart. At least the Yiqi Pill was temporarily saved.
But he didn't want someone to take away the Yiqi Pill again in a while. This was his life-saving straw. He secretly moved forward quietly, trying to get the Yiqi Pill first next time.
Just when Zhang Zhiwen quietly moved forward and everyone's attention was focused on the young man, the young man suddenly made a painful sound, and then the whole person fell to the ground with a plop, and then convulsed all over, foaming at the mouth, obviously poisoned.
Seeing this scene, the other teenagers were already terrified. They subconsciously retreated. The boy's screams kept echoing in the yard. He rolled on the ground like crazy, holding his throat tightly, his eyes wide open, white foam kept coming out of his mouth, and his whole body was twitching violently. This miserable scene was rare even for these teenagers who had long been accustomed to life and death.
However, the boy died not long after struggling.
The young man in green shirt asked someone to carry the body away, then glanced around expressionlessly and said, "Okay, continue!"
After he finished speaking, no teenager dared to come forward.
Zhang Zhiwen just moved forward a little secretly at this moment, and he didn't get close yet, but he didn't continue to move forward, nor did he move forward.
He knew that if he suddenly showed up at this time and got the Yiqi Pill accurately, it would definitely make people suspicious, and he would definitely not be able to hide the fact that he recognized this kind of pill from the young man in green shirt.
After years of struggling for survival, he knew one thing: don't show up casually for anything. Even if it's not a big deal to recognize the Yiqi Pill, and he can even get some recognition from the young man in green, but this will expose himself to everyone's eyes, and the risk factor will be greatly increased.
He knew that there were all kinds of people in this world, and only when you are inconspicuous in the crowd, you are the safest.
The young man in green saw that these teenagers didn't dare to come forward again, and he didn't care. He glanced casually and pointed at one of the teenagers: "You, come up!"
The teenager who was named was frightened and collapsed on the ground: "No, no, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
The teenagers here, no matter how much experience they have, are all teenagers after all. Seeing the person in front of them die tragically in front of them, they have been scared to death.
But the young man in green didn't care about that. He immediately asked two men with knives to carry the teenager over, and then he picked up a pill on the table and forced it into the teenager's mouth.
Zhang Zhiwen was still among the crowd. When he saw the young man in blue shirt stuffing the pill into the boy's mouth, his heart skipped a beat, because he seemed to recognize this kind of pill. Isn't this the Baji Pill?
Baji Pill is supposed to be taken by large livestock. It contains croton and euphorbia. Taking a small amount of these two things will cause mild poisoning such as diarrhea and vomiting. But swallowing such a large pill is definitely highly toxic!
The reason why he knew this kind of pill was because when he was a child, he saw a veterinarian next door feeding a buffalo with this kind of pill. At that time, he was curious about why the buffalo also took the pill. After asking around, he learned that the buffalo had constipation and food accumulation.
The pill that the young man in green shirt gave the boy was this kind of Baji Pill.
Zhang Zhiwen was sure that the young man in green shirt definitely knew what kind of pill this was, and that taking this amount would definitely kill people, but he still used it, which showed that the young man in green shirt didn't care about the lives of these teenagers at all, and even didn't hesitate to poison the teenager to deter others, so that others had to come forward to choose the pills by themselves.
Sure enough, the teenager who took the pill immediately reacted and vomited on the spot. The whole person was also quite miserable, and died quickly in pain.
This was the second teenager who died of poisoning.
All the teenagers present were completely terrified.
When the poisoned teenager was dragged away by the knife-wielding man, the young man in green looked at everyone again: "Why, you still want me to catch you?"
This time, these teenagers also knew that if they were caught, they would definitely die.
Two of the teenagers standing in the front walked out. Although they were still in shock and trembling, it was better than being caught and swallowing poison.
The young man in green glanced at the two of them, nodded, and said calmly: "Choose."
The two teenagers had to start choosing pills under the threatening gaze of the young man in green.
But how could they tell? They could only choose randomly, completely relying on luck.
At this time, Zhang Zhiwen took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on the two teenagers, and he quietly moved forward.
As long as it was not the first one to come out, the second and third ones would be better and would not attract attention.
Now that there are two teenagers in front, he can naturally choose to go forward in the next round.
Although he moved forward secretly, he also paid close attention to what pills the two boys chose.
The two boys randomly chose for a while, but did not choose the Yiqi Pill. Maybe they thought that this pill would bring bad luck. Didn’t the first boy who died die because he chose this pill at the beginning?
Since they were trying their luck, they must be taboo about things that dead people had chosen.
So, Zhang Zhiwen also breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he rushed forward in the next round and took the Yiqi Pill, he would be safe.
Soon, the two boys closed their eyes, stuffed the pills into their mouths like they accepted their fate, and then waited for the judgment of fate.
Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone stared at the two boys to see how they would react.
Zhang Zhiwen also took the opportunity to move forward secretly, and finally, he came to the front.
At this time, one of the two boys was poisoned and fell to the ground vomiting blood and died. The other one was better, but it seemed that he was also poisoned, but it was obviously not a severe poison, just a mild poisoning symptom. His face was covered with red spots and seemed to be itchy. He kept scratching with his hands and scratched his skin, but the symptoms were not obvious, just a little painful.
The young man in green asked the knife-wielding man to drag away the boy who died of poisoning, and then looked at the boy who was slightly poisoned: "Do you want to continue or leave? If you leave, the sequelae of your poisoning will ruin your face. If you stay and pass the test by luck, the medicine hall will still help you cure your disease."
The boy thought for a while after hearing this, then gritted his teeth and turned away.
What is disfigurement? It is not worth mentioning compared to life.
As for those so-called benefits, how can he, who has been struggling to survive on the edge of life and death for many years, not know the pros and cons?
Seeing him leave, the young man in green didn't care, but his eyes became a little colder.
Zhang Zhiwen had been paying attention to his expression. He had seen this expression before. It was the expression of the bandit leaders when they promised those who did not want to join the bandits to leave on their own outside the city, but those who left died afterwards.
So when he saw this expression, his heart couldn't help but tighten. It seemed that this place was in but hard to leave. How could there be such a good thing as leaving on your own?
Wuping Chamber of Commerce was conducting such an unscrupulous drug test here. If it was spread out, the reputation of Wuping Chamber of Commerce would be greatly damaged. In this case, how could they let people go easily? And the best way to prevent the news from leaking out was naturally to kill people to silence them!
Zhang Zhiwen couldn't help but stop moving forward. It was difficult for him to make a decision now. He planned to buy some time. He wanted to take a good look at the pills on the table and try to identify as many non-toxic pills as possible.
But at this time, the young man in green shirt spoke again: "Okay, continue!"
He looked at all the teenagers again. At this time, one teenager finally couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed the others away and squeezed forward, and even Zhang Zhiwen was pushed forward by him.
"Since we are all going to die, we might as well give it a try. Whether we live or die, it's all life!"
This teenager is obviously more sturdy. Although he is also very thin, he has a big frame. He is considered to be one of the stronger ones among these teenagers. He obviously knows that after coming here, there is no other way out except to become a member of the medicine hall.
This is a sober and courageous guy!
But this guy also pushed Zhang Zhiwen out. At this moment, the young man in green shirt rarely looked at the boy, and also looked at Zhang Zhiwen, nodded and said: "Well, very good, like a man! Okay, this round is up to you two!"
