Paintings of Terror

"——Choose him! I choose him!" Liu Yufei stretched his arms emotionally and pointed directly at Mu Yiran.

Everyone looked at him with different expressions on their faces.

"Choose him! Everyone chooses him! Choose him surnamed Mu!" Liu Yufei's facial features were distorted due to excessive emotions. "Anyone who has been in the first two paintings knows that no matter who this person marries with, he will only come out in the end. What about his companions?! Have you ever thought about where all his companions went? Why did he come out alone? Listen-don't be fooled by his appearance, if we people die less and less, In the end, the remaining person is with him. What do you think will happen? He must leave alone, and all the remaining people will die in the painting! So choose him! We all choose him, let him first Die! Choose him!"

No one spoke, only Liu Yufei's roar echoed with the dust in the dilapidated room.

"What are you still hesitating?" Liu Yufei's expression was approaching madness, and both hands gestured sharply, "You forgot? You don't know, right? If you don't choose one person before nine o'clock, we will all Everyone will die! No time! Who can guarantee that the one who died randomly is not yourself?! Choose! Choose quickly! Do you want to delay until nine o'clock?"

Seeing everyone looking down and still reluctant to speak, Liu Yufei grabbed the front of the owner of the pancake stall next to him and stared at him with bulging eyes: "Say! Who do you choose?! Quickly choose! Otherwise, I will choose you! You know, You will die! You will die! Choose quickly!"

The pancake stall owner trembled, completely losing his will and thinking ability, but subconsciously listening to Liu Yufei's words, raised his finger to Mu Yiran.

Mu Yiran's expression was calm, his eyes swept over the people present, and he said lightly: "We all know that the rules in the painting are irreversible and irresistible. So Liu Yufei is right at least in one sentence. It is meaningless to drag it to nine o'clock. , Someone will die here, unless everyone doesn’t want to leave alive."

The doctor raised his eyes and looked at him: "Yes, whether we like it or not, we can only choose one person according to the rules. Although... morally, it can only be two evils compared with all deaths here. Whichever is lighter."

"Okay! Don't fake benevolence and morality here!" Liu Yufei interrupted violently, "Humanity is in this place, nothing is bullshit! I only know that I don't want to die, and no one's life is as important as my own life! Don't tell! I don’t think so in your hearts, how selfish people are, who doesn’t know who?! I’m not like you hypocrites, I’m eager for others to die, and on the surface I have to pretend to be forced and helpless. Who cares! Don’t say these just for your own private thoughts! Hurry up and say who you choose!"

The doctor didn't know if he was said to have broken his mind or didn't want to pay attention to the lunatic, he lowered his eyelids and stopped making a sound.

Liu Yufei became more irritable, and grabbed Wei Dong again, and forced him to ask, "Say! Who do you choose?"

Wei Dong was facing the six gods and no masters, and slid towards Ke Xun beside him.

Ke Xun also looked calm, and said lightly, "I abstained."

Wei Dong hurriedly followed: "I also abstained, no one will choose, whoever you like to choose will choose whom!"

Liu Yufei sneered and let go of him: "Heh, pretending to be a good Father, thinking that you can reflect your noble humanity by not choosing anybody? It is more despicable and shameless to put the burden of killing on others to take the initiative to choose someone!"

Ke Xun lifted his chin slightly and looked down at him faintly: "You are right, I am mean and shameless, you choose me."

Liu Yufei stared at him fiercely, then forced to ask the doctor: "Who do you choose? Don't talk about benevolence and morality, choose immediately!"

The doctor looked at him calmly: "Please let me think about it. After all, it's no different from killing."

Liu Yufei stopped pestering him, and went to ask the other two people again: "If you don't choose others, others will choose you. Everyone will die after nine o'clock. One is better than all. What else can you hesitate about? It’s already the best result that someone sacrifices for everyone. There must be someone selected. Don’t hesitate and choose quickly. Time does not wait for anyone. I choose the surname Mu, he is the most cunning. When it comes to personal interests, he will definitely hurt others first to protect himself, choose him! Choosing him is good for us!"

"Hey," Ke Xun narrowed his eyes and walked to Liu Yufei, "Don't go too far. Whoever is chosen by others must follow their personal wishes. You jump up and down here and interfere. I will not be convinced by the result of the vote."

Liu Yufei was half head lower than Ke Xun, and if he wanted to meet his gaze, he could only raise his face and sneered: "It doesn't matter if you are not convinced. As long as the result comes out, the painting will be recognized and passed, and you can How old is it?!"

Ke Xun also laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes: "You have finished the election just now, right? So now I'm knocking you out, it's not a hindrance to the rules, right?"

"You—what do you want to do!" Liu Yufei took two steps back in anger.

"I've made it very clear," Ke Xun raised his hand, "I'm an old man, you can give me a new evaluation after you have tasted my fist."

"You two--" Liu Yufei turned his head around and yelled at the other two, "Choose the surname Mu! Choose the surname Mu!"

"I have something to say." Mu Yiran suddenly spoke, and his eyes swept towards Ke Xun.

Ke Xun turned and walked back: "I just like to listen to you, just talk."

Weidong: "..."

Mu Yiran's gaze swept at the others again: "Since one person must be selected, then there is no need to say what is redundant. Everyone present may be the one selected, but we are human, not waiting. Lamb slaughter, the difference between man and sheep is that at least one should have the right to explain why he is worthy of his life. Others can decide who to choose based on each individual's reasons. I don't know what you mean?"

"I agree." Ke Xun said.

"I agree too." Wei Dong followed.

"I also think this proposal is very good," the doctor is calm and sensible, "at least it gives everyone a chance to fight last."

The other two also agreed that the owner of the pancake stall was still desperate and silent.

Liu Yufei was emotional: "I don't agree! The surnamed Mu wants to deceive, he wants to deceive!"

"Five people agree, one abstains, and the other opposes. The proposal is passed." Ke Xun said two steps and struck Liu Yufei's face with a punch.

This fist stayed strong, only beating Liu Yufei back three or four steps, with two strings of nosebleeds hanging on his face, and successfully interrupted his howl.

"Let's start," Ke Xun said.

Everyone stopped paying attention to Liu Yufei who had been beaten up, and only looked at each other a few times before the doctor asked, "Who will come first?"

One of the two people who were responsible for digging the grave last night said carefully, "I know, everyone wants to go out alive, and no one wants to be the one elected by the vote. It's human nature or something, in this case, don't mention it.

"I just want to say that I am an ordinary person. I have lived such a long time and have never done bad things. I live my life honestly every day. My wife divorced me two years ago and left me and The child ran away without a trace.

"My child is only three years old this year. My parents are old and in poor health. They spend half of the year in the hospital. If I die here, I don't know what will happen to my child...

"Perhaps I have eaten the last meal but not the next. Maybe I have my eyes wide open every day. I don’t know why I don’t have mom or dad. Maybe I’m sick and nobody cares. My body is so thin and so small, huddled in a corner alone and pitifully. ...

"I'm sorry... I don't want to sell my child to miserable lives, but I, I really don't want to leave my poor child to die here. I just hope that when you are voting for a while, you can, think about it a little bit. My situation, me, I thank you all..."

When this person spoke, tears were already streaming down his face.

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, the doctor said, "Then, let me say a few words for myself. I am a doctor. Although there are no tools and medicines in the painting, I can also treat the injured in some cases. Emergency treatment. I don’t know if there will be the next one or the next after I get out of this painting. If there are, I think my professional skills will always help everyone. I hope everyone will vote later. , Can consider my usefulness, thank you."

The other person in charge of digging the grave hurriedly followed the doctor’s words: "I am also useful, and I have it too. I am a private enterprise owner and I have money. As long as you are willing to let me live, I will give each of you ten. Ten thousand yuan, I promise! If you don’t believe me, I can write an IOU of one hundred thousand yuan to each of you now! No-two hundred thousand! I will give you two hundred thousand each!"

"...I'm tempted." Weidong whispered to Ke Xun.

At this time, Liu Yufei recovered from the state of being beaten up, and he couldn't help looking for Ke Xun for a punch, and shouted: "You don't want to choose me, I can't die. I am a PhD student from a prestigious Beijing university. I It is a key talent cultivated by the country, and I am useful to the country!

"Do you know how scarce the country’s talents are now? Do you know how difficult it is for the country to cultivate a talent? This country needs me, and social progress also needs me. Whether you can live a better life in the future, you all need me like this Talents!

"You should understand the survival of the fittest? Whether it is as large as the macro society or as small as a temporary group like ours now, retaining outstanding talents and weeding out useless and dragging mediocrities are all to ensure the healthy survival and efficient development of the group. The best way!

"So you can't choose me, you should choose people who are of no use to our group! Like him, like them! Use your brain to think about it!"

Liu Yufei pointed to the owner of the pancake stall and Ke Xun Weidong.

Wei Dong was very speechless: "Is this a prestigious doctor? It's fake?"

Ke Xun's face was expressionless: "There is no inevitable connection between education and quality."

"Then you guys are going to talk about what advantages and usefulness you can have that deserves to be left behind?!" Liu Yufei glared at the two men.

"Oh, I didn't have much to say at first, but after seeing your performance just now, I suddenly discovered my strengths," Ke Xun said. "At least I won't bite others for my own life, like a mad dog. dead."

As soon as the voice fell, everyone's eyes flashed with thoughtfulness.

Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun, his eyes slightly deep.

This kid is really unexpected from time to time.

His appearance in front of people always seems to be a little sloppy and meaningless, and it always gives people the impression of a bad boy who does his own way.

But what he said just now, without knowing whether it was intentional or unintentionally, revealed something that was not sharp and sharp, but was capable of a fatal blow... cunning.

Yes, one blow is fatal.

He doesn’t even need to use a word and a word to explain why he deserves to be left. He only needs to grasp the point that people most care about, fear, and taboo, and use a judgmental contrast to make himself. never fail.

——Compared with Liu Yufei's selfish madness, no matter how he chooses, others will not choose him, because below him, Liu Yufei is the bottom.

Thinking about it now, his abstention at the beginning might be a kind of foreshadowing?

... Is he so smart?

People have a thousand faces.

This Ke Xun...maybe he shouldn't be underestimated.
