Chapter 74: What is His purpose? The hard-mouthed, soft-hearted neighbor!
【Teleportation starting, exiting soon...】
Opening his eyes again, Su Yang returned to cell 213.
He looked at the cells on his left and right and found no one.
"It's not over yet..."
Compared to a large-scale game, 5-7 days is a cycle.
He completed the game in three days, which was considered a fast pace.
The faster the game ends, the higher his ranking will be if the points are the same.
Su Yang took off his thick down jacket and thermal underwear and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
He hadn't showered for three whole days, and a lot of dirt had been rubbed off his body, dirty enough to be described as 'filthy'.
After washing, he felt refreshed, clearing away a lot of fatigue and sleepiness.
Under high-intensity play and mental pressure, Su Yang hadn't had a good night's sleep.
So he ate some bread and canned food and fell onto the bed, sleeping like a log.
In his dream, he saw the scene of artillery fire again.
The familiar scene became exceptionally clear, and the originally hazy human faces became concrete.
"What's going on? Aren't I sleeping?" Su Yang looked down at the automatic rifle in his hand, looking confused.
At this moment, a urging voice suddenly came from the front, "Su Yang, what are you still doing? Follow me and break out!"
He saw Lin Yang beckoning to him, turning and rushing into the battlefield of gunfire.
In just an instant, his arm was blown off by a grenade, and blood sprayed.
"Stop spacing out, cover me!"
Su Yang suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously rushed up to drag Lin Yang back.
But just as he grabbed the other's collar, a rocket flew toward him.
"Boom!"
The rocket exploded instantly, blowing him and Lin Yang into pieces.
"No!"
Su Yang suddenly woke up from his dream, gasping for breath.
Looking at the familiar cell, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.
"The second time..."
Su Yang felt the dream becoming increasingly real, like another him in a parallel universe.
Regardless of the firearms or the tactile sensation, it gave him the feeling of being in reality.
The last time he had such a dream was the day he came out of the second death game.
"How could Lin Yang appear in my dream? How absurd..." Su Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He thought it was probably caused by stress, after all, he had played several death games.
Who wouldn't go crazy?
Those who can maintain their original mentality are either mentally ill or super-male.
Su Yang looked at the time on the screen and found there were 6 days left until settlement.
That is to say, he slept for a whole day.
Looking at the cells on the second floor, very few players had returned.
"Are there still many who haven't finished?" Su Yang analyzed the point ranking while gnawing on bread.
According to past records, the top five hundred players have the same points, with only differences in ranking order.
That is to say, there is an upper limit to the achievements each player can unlock in the game.
"With a limit on point acquisition, players who end the game quickly will be safer." Su Yang felt the bread was a bit dry and took a sip of mango juice.
Unknowingly, he had adapted to life in the cell.
He had positioned himself as a 'prisoner'.
Except for not having to work and lacking time for outdoor activities.
He was a qualified prisoner who followed the rules.
He even occasionally felt that life here was not bad.
The space was large enough, no one was noisy at night, no need to attend class, no need to do homework, no need to worry about employment.
Food and clothing were thoughtfully prepared for the players.
Air conditioning when it was hot, heating when it was cold.
Unlimited hot water supply, and a bed to sleep on for as long as he wanted.
It couldn't be called comfortable, but at least it met basic needs.
This kind of subtle conditioning had conquered the vast majority of people.
Su Yang knew deeply that there must be a deeper purpose behind this 'captivity' style kidnapping.
"What is He plotting?"
Meaningless imprisonment clearly didn't fit the original intention of building the prison.
If it were just to simply enjoy the process of players playing the game, there would be no need to imprison everyone by cell.
Even if players were randomly selected on the street, it would be simpler and more convenient than this method.
Su Yang didn't understand the mastermind's thoughts for the time being.
"After settlement..."
He looked at the only door of this prison, thoughtful.
Kidnapping everyone in the world here, would they be released just because they played a few games?
Su Yang thought so at first.
But as time went on, he realized things were far from that simple.
"Perhaps it's a smoke bomb released to deliberately hang the players' enthusiasm?" Su Yang frowned.
This possibility was very high; to this day, he didn't know if the mastermind was human or ghost.
And the most important point—talent.
Looking at several games, it could be seen that this kind of 'transcendence' clearly didn't belong to the power that carbon-based lifeforms should have.
'Deception' itself was a concept.
And it was the definition given by humans to this vocabulary.
Including Guo Xiaoyun's 'Free Expansion'; Yu Yue's 'Eye of Truth'; Liu Wei Cheng's 'Clone'...
Truly calming down to think, Su Yang found that the prison itself was a game.
Every player in the cell was a 'character' available for selection.
Once selected, one could become a representative to participate in the game.
Those who performed well were rewarded, and those who performed poorly were executed.
"Survival of the fittest..."
Su Yang couldn't help but think of this sentence, his eyes showing shock.
If that were really the case, then out of tens of billions of people, the last ones to survive...
"No, I overlooked a crucial point." Su Yang cleared his mind of miscellaneous thoughts.
Calculated as ten thousand people per prison, with over ten billion people globally, there must be at least one million prisons.
Simple data calculation was enough to feel the magnitude.
Where would the one hundred people released from each prison be placed?
"Ending so soon?"
Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from behind.
Su Yang turned his head and found that the player in the cell on the right had returned.
He saw her beautiful face covered in knife wounds, some large and some small, and the freshness varied.
Besides that, her fair beautiful legs were also full of scars.
The T-shirt on her body was tattered, as if she had experienced a life-and-death battle.
"These wounds on you..." Su Yang asked curiously.
"Killed a few animals, any problem?" The girl said coldly.
Killing people wasn't hard to understand.
It was just that this sentence of hers could be interpreted in many ways.
Whether she killed a few people in one game.
Or one against many, killing a few people at the same time?
"No problem." Su Yang shrugged.
"That guy hasn't come back yet?" The girl didn't dwell on the injury issue but turned to care about Lin Yang.
Su Yang followed her gaze and said: "Probably another two days."
"You have such confidence in him?"
"You care about him so much?"
The girl was choked by these words and snorted: "Who cares about him? It's not strange for someone indecisive like him to die."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the bathroom, and then the sound of water came.
"Mouth is really hard." Su Yang chuckled. ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
