Between life and death [unlimited]

Have you ever experienced the feeling of drowning?

As if isolated in a silent world, the oxygen in the lungs was gradually evacuated, the heart beat wildly and the blood pressure soared instantly, and it seemed that only the sound of water hitting the eardrum was left in my ears.

In the dimness, there seemed to be a sound of chainsaw cutting not far away, as if cutting some kind of hard object, sometimes accompanied by high-decibel human screams...

Jiang Li raised his head abruptly and pulled his head out of the water.

The cold liquid slowly flowed down his hair and cheeks, and he smelled a strange smell in his nose. He was just about to reach out to wipe off the running water on his face, but there was an inexplicable heaviness from his wrist, as if he had been caught by something. Things are falling.

Jiang Xun suddenly regained consciousness.

His eyes gradually focused, and Jiang Lai saw the strangers sitting around him clearly.Like myself, with their right hands and feet bound, everyone sat neatly on the edge of a ditch.

This is a dimly lit room with closed doors and windows, and the innermost side is the ditch where everyone is.Jiang Lai noticed the red liquid on the face of the stranger next to him.

It turned out that not only clear water flowed in the shallow ditch behind him, but also a large amount of fresh blood from unknown sources.

The voice in the ear gradually recovered, and the sound of the chainsaw that he heard just now in the half-dream and half-awake was not an illusion. Jiang Li raised his eyes and saw that someone was actually cutting the woman on the table with a chainsaw.

"what!!"

After a scream, the woman's right leg rolled from the table onto the concrete floor, joining together with the left leg that had been cut off a long time ago and was covered in blood and dirt.

The dazzling white and red form a strong contrast, constantly hitting the eyes of everyone in the room.

"I know... I've said it all... It's a tall man, wearing black clothes... I really didn't see his face clearly!" The woman lying on the table and being slaughtered replied weakly.

The man who was manipulating the chainsaw was facing Jiang Xun and his side. The man was wearing a black full-body raincoat and a strange pig-face mask on his face.

As if responding to Jiang Lai's questioning gaze, he raised the chainsaw in his hand high as if to show off, and then landed on the woman's slender neck accurately, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The head, which was separated from the body, fell to the ground, and a pair of black eyes stared forward in fear. The woman's face was facing exactly where Jiang Xun was.

The boy sitting next to Jiang Lai happened to be affected by innocence. Seeing such an exciting scene, the boy turned around without hesitation and vomited into the gutter.

Other girls who were tied up by the ditch witnessed such a bloody scene with their own eyes, and also screamed out of control.

"what!"

All of a sudden, the strong smell of blood and vomit, together with high-pitched screams filled the narrow room.

The weirdo wearing a pig-face mask suddenly turned off the chainsaw in his hand and placed it on the table beside him. He raised his index finger and gestured in front of the mask's pig's mouth.

"Shh."

The sound of his modal particles appeared insignificant in the high-pitched screams, but as if someone had strangled his neck, all the screams in the room stopped suddenly.

A pair of black eyes of the pig-faced monster quickly scanned everyone sitting on the ground, and he suddenly spoke: "...Congratulations, you have successfully entered this game..."

His voice was broken like it was scratched on glass.

"...Some of you are students, some of you have already graduated to work, and some of you are over fifty years old and are about to retire... And everyone doesn't know each other...Do you know why I kidnapped you here?"

No one dared to make any noise at this time, and the pig-faced monster did not stop, continuing to stimulate everyone's eardrums: "Look at that newspaper on the ground."

Jiang Lai had already seen an old newspaper scattered in front of everyone.The date above is December 12th of this year, and the newspaper's cover news reads in bold bold, "Sudden waves on Christmas Eve, bizarre tragedy in the town?" ! "

Seeing that everyone had read the newspaper, the pig-faced geek was immersed in his own memories and said: "Christmas, when all of you are reunited with your family... Have you ever thought that others will be happy because of some of your selfish actions? Lost true love?!"

"My girlfriend came all the way from abroad on December 12 just to spend the last Christmas with me."

"I have brain cancer, and I can't live long. Why, why, even the last chance to experience warmth, have to be taken away by you?!"

What Jiang Lai heard was clouded, and his mind was in a mess.

The pig-faced man just continued on his own: "Because of your insensitivity, the killer blatantly killed my girlfriend on the street, and then ran away... When you passed by, no one offered a helping hand , no one went to help her, not even a call to the police..."

The pig-faced monster suddenly became very angry, and his tone was so sharp that he was about to pierce the roof, "Why didn't you die, aren't you damned!!"

He suddenly raised the chainsaw on the table, and he could feel the strange man's strong smile through the mask.He said lightly, "Have you watched "Saw"? Anyway, I'm about to die. Instead of letting you trash live, it's better to let me do justice for the sky and save this inhumane society."

He glanced at the people who had been terrified and paralyzed on the ground, and gently wiped the blood on the chainsaw like a lover, "Of course, it's not like you have no chance of escape."

"I have captured the murderer and I am hiding among you. As long as you can catch the real murderer and avenge my girlfriend, I can let everyone else go."

Suddenly the tone changed, and the pig-faced monster approached the chainsaw and said quietly: "But I only give you one hour, and every 10 minutes I will randomly arrest a person. You people who ignore life don't deserve to live at all! "

"Liveordie, makeyourchoice."

After saying this classic line, the pig-faced weirdo picked up the chainsaw, walked out of the iron gate behind him with a strange smile.

At the same time, a disharmonious voice appeared out of nowhere in Jiang Xun's ear.It sounds like the virtual electronic synthesis sound commonly found on the Internet.

【Ding!Congratulations to player Jiang Shui for starting the game qualification test task! 】

[Mission background: On Christmas Eve, A's girlfriend was killed, and A also has a grudge against you passers-by who just stood by...]

[Task content: The player finds out the murderer hidden in the crowd and takes revenge successfully. 】

[Task duration: one hour.Note: A will randomly select a player for punishment every 10 minutes. In order to reduce the difficulty of the game, the chainsaw monster will not punish the real murderer. 】

[I wish the players have fun in the game and have a good time! 】

Before that, Jiang Xun was a firm believer in materialism. Due to the particularity of his profession, he never believed in gods and ghosts.

After hearing the system sound in the void, he immediately wondered if there was something wrong with his brain and auditory hallucinations appeared in his ears, but he quickly realized that he had not participated in what the pig-faced monster said just now .

It seems——I was really involved in an unknown field.

Jiang Lai glanced at the abductees with different expressions around him. He wasn't sure if they were all players like him, and there might really be a murderer hidden among them.

After the pig-faced geek left, the timid girl finally broke down and began to cry. The people who were closer to the table couldn't help it, and turned around and retched in the sink.

In the small room, the jittery and weird smell just now returned.

The first reaction of ordinary people to see such a bloody and violent scene should be extremely shocking or even vomiting, but Jiang Xun's performance was a little too indifferent.

Sure enough, the person next to him saw Jiang Lai's expressionless face and asked in surprise, "You... aren't you afraid...?"

This sentence can have many meanings. It can not only express concern for Jiang Xun, but also focus everyone's attention on Jiang Xun according to the strange man.

The person sitting next to Jiang Xun was a young boy wearing glasses, dressed in sportswear, and looked like a student who was still studying.At this moment, his face was still pale and his legs were shaking like sieves. Seeing that Jiang Xun hadn't responded to him for a long time, a bold idea came to the young student's mind.

He seemed to be involuntarily thinking out his thoughts, "Could it be...he killed that girl..."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence all around.

The few people who were closer to Jiang Lai also stared at him nervously, and slowly moved away from him.

Jiang Lai didn't have much contact with people. It wasn't because he didn't answer the boy's question on purpose just now, he was just not used to talking with people.But after the boy finished his conjecture, he could clearly feel that everyone's eyes on him were not friendly.

"If he is really a murderer, I'm afraid he won't be so obvious?"

A voice suddenly appeared to help him out.

Jiang Xun looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man hiding behind the crowd. Whether it was intentional or not, Jiang Xun, who had excellent eyesight, couldn't see the man's face clearly.

Will help him in this environment, is it someone you know in reality?

As soon as this idea came up, Jiang Xun immediately dismissed it.

How could it be that in reality, apart from the people in the organization, no one alive would know him, let alone anyone who wanted to help him.Is this mysterious man also an NPC in the game?Jiang Xun thought to himself.

The young student who was questioned immediately retorted: "Then why is he not as scared as the others when he sees such a scene?"

The man hiding in the crowd still refused to show his full face.He also seemed to be frightened just now, curled up and sat sideways on the edge of the ditch, and only people could vaguely see his side face.

The man's voice was very clear and pleasant, like the ding-dong sound of a stream that had just melted in early spring.

He said slowly: "Maybe it's a natural lack of emotional expression, or a profession such as medicine that is common in life, old age, sickness and death. Too much may make people indifferent to this kind of scene."

"The time given by the chainsaw monster is too short. We should make good use of the existing clues to deduce as much as possible to find out the real culprit, instead of making wild guesses here. Doing so will only make the scene more chaotic."

His words seemed to have an unknown power, inexplicably able to soothe people's hearts, the original manic atmosphere seemed to be calmed down by a hand, everyone began to calm down slowly, even the little girl who was crying just now stopped cry.

The little girl who was crying earlier said, "...then tell me, we... what should we do?"

"The first thing that can be ruled out is the woman at the scene," the man with a clear voice reasoned. "This is the clue provided by the woman who was killed just now."

"Tall man...in black clothes..." The young student slowly recalled, still a little aggrieved, "Then I doubt that the person next to me is justified?"

Jiang Xun twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly.

If he was really the murderer that the pig-faced monster said, he might have killed the child beside him several times by now.

The man still turned sideways, not showing his true face, and continued to reason: "I like to kill people on the street, and kill people in full view. It is obvious that this murderer has a strong performance. If the murderer is the person next to you , when you asked questions, he may have killed you countless times."

What he said surprisingly matched what Jiang Lai had in mind.

Jiang Lai couldn't help being curious, who is this person?
