Chapter 7 Killing Carnival (Part 2)

In fact, the production level of the "Kill Carnival" program is not very high. Compared with the judge's "Judgement Show", the former has many flaws and clues in both the rules of the game and the live broadcast; if the Federation really wants to investigate them, the case can be solved within a week.

However, there is naturally a reason why this show is more popular than the "Judgement Show"... In addition to the higher broadcast frequency of the show, more importantly, the "Killing Carnival" also opened a handicap, allowing viewers to participate in the show through gambling.

In each episode of "Killing Carnival", the audience can bet on the results of this episode: you can choose one or more "preys" and buy them/they will eventually survive, or buy the entire ending; you can bet according to the order of death of the "prey", and you can also bet on the specific time of death, such as buying "who will die before what time will be"; in addition, the audience can even bet against the "Supreme", such as the Supremes can propose a bizarre way of death and promise to execute a certain prey before what time, and the audience can bet on whether they will succeed.

If "Fengdu Luoshan" is venting people through narrow justice, then "killing carnival" is directly pleasing the darkness hidden in people's hearts.

It is also about seeing others suffer, seeing evil people who have nothing to do with you, being punished, and seeing ordinary people who have nothing to do with you, but are played with... that kind of mental state is naturally different.

The former is satisfying your conscience, while the latter is teasing your instincts.

Your conscience will not be asked from you frequently, nor will it take too much, but your instincts are different...

It’s like watching a horror movie, when you see the characters in the movie being killed, your instinct will inevitably make you feel a little bit of gratitude and even a little happiness; because... when humans witness the death of similar people, their feeling of "living" will become more real. The clearer, true and stronger the process of this "witness" is, the more obvious that feeling will be.

"Killing Carnival" is to serve people's instinct, so it is undoubtedly a dark web murder show that is more in line with the public's taste.

…………

After descending from the rooftop, Hull found himself in an abandoned apartment building.

The place where the building is located is very strange. When he was looking around on the rooftop, Hull noticed that the building was surrounded by woods, and he could not see the lights of the city at first glance. He speculated that... the employee dormitory building built by a remote factory near the site, but it is undoubtedly abandoned now.

As expected, there was no electricity in the building, Hull could only use the moonlight that penetrated through the corridor windows.

The doors of many rooms near the corridor were open or hidden, but the lighting in those rooms was not good, and Hull, who had no lighting equipment, did not intend to search in those dark and dark rooms that emitted a strange smell of mold.

Even by guessing, he could know that in the shadows in the corners, there were several cameras monitoring him, but in this environment, it was unlikely that he would find and remove the probes one by one, so he had to give up.

All Hull wants to do now is to leave the building as soon as possible, go through the woods, find a road, and then hurry back to the civilized world and stay away from this damn show.

In this way, he groped all the way, found the stairs, and then walked down layer by layer.

Just as he reached the fourth floor, he suddenly...

Twist

A sound of motor suddenly sounded behind him.

Hull was shocked when he heard the sound and turned around suddenly. At that moment, accompanied by a "wave" sound, a figure wearing a beast mask and holding a chainsaw appeared on the steps only five meters away from Hull.

"Ah!" Hull was so scared that his scalp was numb. He screamed, turned his head and ran away.

Originally, he was cautious and went downstairs either fast or slow, but now he almost grabbed the handrail of the stairs and rolled and scrambled to the ground.

The masked "Supreme" saw this scene and just sneered, then quickly chased after him; unlike Hull, his mask was equipped with a night vision device, which allowed him to see clearly in the darkness, so even with a chainsaw, he could move quickly.

Faced with this kind of hunt that seemed like a horror film, Hull was panicked like most ordinary people. He only knew how to follow his instinctive actions when he was afraid, and fled in a direction away from the other party without thinking.

So, he inevitably... fell into the trap.

"ah"

When he reached the steps on the second floor, Hull felt a chill in his feet, and then a noticeable pain came, which made him cry out in pain.

He quickly thought that... he should have stepped on something like a triangular nail, and there was more than one, but the sound of chainsaws gradually approaching from behind him made him have no time to take care of these, so he could only endure the pain and continue to move forward even though he knew that he could not see the way forward.

Finally, after hitting seven or eight nails on the soles of his feet, Hull, who was already weak in his legs, could not bear the severe pain and rolled down the stairs.

He finished the last step up the first floor. Because he instinctively protected his head with both hands, his torso and legs were triangulated by triangular wounds. These wounds were shallow and deep, light and heavy, but fortunately they were not fatal, but they were so painful.

In any case, Hull, who was scarred, successfully arrived on the first floor. When he returned to the flat ground, he could use a stroll to avoid stepping on nails. Moreover, it was not far from the exit of the building.

So he gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, endured the pain of the bone-burning soles of his feet, and quickly ran out of the building gate and came to the open space outside the building.

When the moonlight shone on his face and fresh air poured into his lungs, he realized that the sound of the chainsaw behind him was gone.

Even so, Hull ran into the woods next to the open space first, looked at the exit of the building alertly before starting to deal with the nails on his body.

It took him three minutes to pull out all the triangular nails left on his body; when he pulled out the nails on the soles of his feet... it felt particularly painful because the nails were pierced the deepest, and several of them had already damaged the bones.

Hull endured the pain and did not dare to speak, but the curse in his heart was clamoring.

And what follows this anger...is regret.

He really regretted that if he had been a little more precaution earlier, not allowing the woman to get in the car, or drinking less drinks from the other party, he would not have fallen into this situation.

Because the other party is a woman, he put down his guard, because the other party is beautiful, he loses his innocence, because the other party shows kindness to him, he thinks randomly... Like most people who are not popular with women, Hull is easily deceived by women, but he always doesn't learn from his lessons; he has suffered a lot of similar losses before, but this time the result is a bit too serious.

When Hull thought of this, his regret quickly turned into shame, and then turned into stronger anger.

Unfortunately, like before, he could only be angry and could not do anything.

At this moment, Hull couldn't help but feel... Maybe he was wrong. The various thoughts that he felt super-human in these three days were just wishful thinking and self-righteousness. He was still Hull Schneider, an ordinary office worker... No, now he is an ordinary unemployed vagrant.

Even a not-so-savvy ride-hailing scam cannot be seen; not to mention resisting, it is difficult to protect yourself; even though you know you are being played with as "prey", you can only struggle... A series of frustration and powerlessness made Hull psychologically beaten back to the prototype.

Just as he was sitting on the ground complaining, suddenly something incredible happened.

"Hull." A voice that was processed by a voice changer suddenly sounded behind Hull.

Hull didn't realize that someone was approaching him, but when he turned his head when he heard the sound, a man in a red robe and a Peking Opera mask was already standing behind him.

"Judge...judgment..." Hull was so surprised that he couldn't even say a word. He had never thought that the judge would appear here in person.

The judge didn't intend to listen to him wasting his time stammeringly, and said directly: "A little accident..." He paused for a moment, "Today I had already arranged a bureau and wanted to 'test' you, but I didn't expect... You guy was suddenly fired by the unit, and then ran to the suburbs talking to yourself, and accidentally got caught by a group of very low-level guys."

"You... are you here to save me?" Hull was so excited that he almost cried.

"Of course not." But the judge's answer made his heart sink again, "You are not my subordinate yet. Besides... my subordinates don't have the kind of waste that comes after encountering trouble, and they are the ones who seek help from others."

Hull was speechless and could not refute.

"However, my original plan was ruined, which made me a little unhappy." The next second, the judge changed his tone, "And, I thought this program called 'Killing Carnival' was a bit annoying, but because they had nothing to do with me, I ignored them. But today... whether intentionally or unintentionally, they actually disturbed my situation, so I naturally wouldn't be indifferent."

At this point, the judge took something out of his robe and threw it in front of Hull.

Hull looked down and found that it was a translucent plastic box with an injection in it.

"This injection can help you relieve pain, speed up blood coagulation, and prevent most infections and tetanus. Just pierce your neck." Two seconds later, the judge continued, "By the way, I'll give you another reminder that the more you are in a passive situation, the more you don't follow other people's ideas..." He shrugged and chuckled, "Ha...of course, unless that person is me."

After saying that, the judge turned around, as if he was about to leave.

"Wait... wait!" Hull was stunned for a moment and quickly spoke, "You... since you don't plan to save me, why do you want to help me again?"

"You just think about this question yourself." Before the judge finished his words, his figure disappeared into the shade of the tree.

Hull didn't think too long, and came to a conclusion that he didn't want to be treated as a waste. Then don't always think about letting others save you. Think about how to "rescue yourself" in advance.

"I still have a chance..." Hull began to hint himself in his heart, "Surviving the 'killing carnival' and winning that big bonus to prove himself... In this way, the judge will still consider letting me join, he must be like that! That's why he will help me! Even if Luoshan in Fengdu still doesn't accept me in the end, I want to win for myself... I will win!"

After making up his mind, Hull immediately picked up the needle on the ground, turned his head, pierced his neck, and pushed all the liquid in the syringe into his body.

He had no doubts about the judge's "help" and it was meaningless to doubt.

At this moment, Hull had no choice. With this injury, not only would his physical strength and mobility decrease significantly, but his constant loss of blood will also leave traces along the way, making his consciousness blurred.

If you want to turn the tables in this desperate situation, you must be stabbed. Even if the judge now tells him that "there is a 50% chance of stabbing this needle, you may die." Hull has to try it, because if you don't stab, you will die 100%.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Hull, who had injected the drug, felt a significant change in his body; although his wounds had not healed, the bleeding spots had condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The pain in his body dared to be relieved to a considerable extent, and even the headache was better.

At this time, he calmed down a lot and made a decision that even he was a little surprised that he wanted to go back to the building to get something.
Chapter completed!
