Listening to Leyuan's words, the three people looked at each other.
Not long after, Xu Zhongxing punched the sign next to him fiercely: "This lunatic...!"
In exchange for his own existence, he would duel with the victims tied to the wooden horse, and then torture his opponents to death in the most cruel and heinous way in his dreams?
So disgusting!
When he thought that many people might have been forced to make such a choice before, Xu Zhongxing felt his heart burning with anger, and he could hardly suppress the urge to smash the head of "Paradise"!
Xiao Liu also gritted his teeth: "What kind of disgusting rule is this... It's irrational! After all, the owner of this theme park just wants to see people's screams and despair, and other things...!"
She hadn't finished her next words yet.
But Xu Zhongxing knew that what she meant was that this paradise was similar to most other alien species—all those monsters used human despair as entertainment! His fingers sank deeply into the flesh, leaving ten finger marks that looked like scars.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Zhongxing quickly forced himself to calm down.
No matter what, he was a specialist in the Execution Department who had been on many missions. He had seen similar situations many times, so after his initial shock and anger, he gradually calmed down.
Holding Xiao Liu, Xu Zhongxing said calmly: "The important thing now is what to do next."
Glancing at the broadcast next to him, Xu Zhongxing murmured, "According to the park, 'existence' is the most basic currency of this theme park. Then perhaps we can use this currency to exchange for more things that are beneficial to us. In any case, the more currency the better. The currency obtained by the winner may be able to bring us more benefits."
Pointing at the wooden horse in the distance, Xu Zhongxing said bitterly: "The loser's fate may be the same as that of the wooden horse, entangled in chains and floating around the pillar again and again!"
Following the direction of Xu Zhongxing's finger, Xiao Liu subconsciously swallowed.
The visual shock gave her a certain resistance, not to mention this seemingly extremely painful and almost endless torture. If possible, she definitely didn't want to lose here.
On the other side, Xu Zhongxing hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "So, the most important thing now is to find the person we need to face."
"Among these targets, the most convenient and most likely to win... are children!"
What? Listening to Xu Zhongxing's words, Xiao Liu's eyes narrowed slightly.
She grabbed the captain's clothes and lowered her voice: "Captain?!"
Xu Zhongxing struggled and said, "This is the best choice! If you really want to make someone despair, then the psychological quality and knowledge of adults must far exceed that of children. And sometimes despair is not just physical, the terror of the soul can also bring about a deep silence... So, this is what Paradise wants us to do!"
"Children's psychological quality and defenses are more easily breached. He is encouraging us to torture those children as much as possible!" Xu Zhongxing said hoarsely, "Paradise... He wants to see us like this."
This monster is undoubtedly a madman without any humanity.
This is also the reason why Xu Zhongxing was so angry.
There are men and women, adults and children hanging on the carousel. The park's requirement is to break through the enemy's psychological defenses as much as possible, which means that if you really have to choose, then children are undoubtedly the easiest and simplest!
After all, compared to adults, children are less experienced in the world, and often a small hint can make a child pick up a weapon and pull the trigger at the enemy.
Of course, this is not absolute. Just as there are adults with extremely fragile minds, there are also quite mature individuals among children. But considering the sample, it is obvious that the possibility of children having worse mental qualities is... greater! This is almost a blatant temptation, allowing those adults to climb on the children, and then use their heads armed with knowledge to do their best to make a slightly immature child fall into an irretrievable state!
Xiao Liu forced himself to calm down: "No, I can't do that!"
It's not just that doing so is immoral, but also that if they do these things, then everything they have been holding on to until now will probably fall apart in no time!
The purpose of the Countermeasures Bureau is undoubtedly to protect and monitor. This just goal is also the premise for attracting countless people to serve it. It can be said that many people who join the Countermeasures Bureau are people with a strong sense of justice. If such people do something that goes against their beliefs, then there is no doubt that their worldview will be shattered, they will be discouraged and lost! This is not the most important thing.
The birth of alien species is distorted from human will and legends. The more sinister and silent the place is, the more likely it is to become a breeding ground for these monsters. And people who once had strong beliefs are definitely the most suitable soil for the birth of alien species after their faith collapses! Therefore, Xiao Liu must not watch Xu Zhongxing break off his faith in front of him.
She knew very well that her captain was a good man in the traditional sense. If such a person really did this, he would probably suffer the same pain as today for the rest of his life. If he really survived by then, he would be twisted into a truly terrifying alien!
Looking at Xiao Liu with a determined look in his eyes, Xu Zhongxing grabbed his hair and said fiercely, "That's right! Absolutely not!"
"If surviving here requires sacrificing others, or even torturing compatriots, in order to gain a tiny bit of hope, then it would be better to die with the pride of faith from the beginning!"
Xu Zhongxing let go of Xiao Liu's hand, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "I will never accept anyone who climbs up from the corpse of a companion. This is a shameful betrayal. Even after I die, this sin will be stabbed in the spine!"
"That's right," Xiao Liu said loudly, "We absolutely cannot do this!"
Hearing his subordinate's voice, Xu Zhongxing nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, he said this to put pressure on Bering and make him move in the same direction as the two of them.
Even though they are now in an abnormal situation, the social concepts of the past humans have not changed. This kind of deep-rooted thing cannot fall apart in a very short time.
In situations like the present, the advantage of speech still exists. If two people are righteous enough, they will force the other person to follow suit. This is the product of a team gaining the right to speak, which is equivalent to a variation of the minority obeying the majority.
And in such an environment, no one is willing to leave the team and work alone, unless that person really wants to die, or is simply a lunatic.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhongxing glanced at Bai Ling beside him.
However, he did not expect this.
Bai Ling, who had been silent, stepped past the two of them and stood in front of the ticket counter.
He stretched out his hand with a large movement, lifting his black windbreaker to reveal an exquisite little box hidden inside.
Turning his head to look at the two people behind him, Bai Ling said firmly: "Sorry."
"Even if it means sacrificing other people's lives, I must do this," he pressed against the ticket counter, "If there is a chance to save Qi Luo, then I will never give up!"
"you?!"
Xiao Liu and Xu Zhongxing looked at Bai Ling in shock.
A wild laugh came from the loudspeaker: "Haha! That's right! No matter how righteous the gesture is, it is ultimately nothing more than the self-restraint and self-satisfaction of human society! In the final analysis, 'selfishness' should be engraved in the deepest part of the genes of intelligent life! Morality is a fragile thing, but a weak shackle that the weak use to bind the strong!"
"Little ghost, I have high hopes for you! How about this, I will add a code to your 'existence'. Now you can exchange it for 'currency' that is 1.5 times the amount of your existence!"
"So, continue to show me the bad nature of you humans! Let me see what kind of ugly mud and vile mandala you can burst out after breaking free from those fragile obstacles!!"
Paradise was probably very happy. If Bering heard correctly, he could even hear something crisp coming from the loudspeaker.
It's like someone is eating potato chips while drinking Fat Otaku Happy Water, and crying or laughing at the words and actions of the paper man on the computer screen.
But Bailing felt that what people in Paradise were drinking and eating now was probably not happy water or potato chips.
"After all, I can smell the blood coming from the speaker," Bai Ling wiped his nose imperceptibly, "What a lowly creature. Even the blue sky is more upright than Paradise."
At least when Lan Kong tortured people, he did it openly and blatantly, instead of hiding in a corner like Paradise, and running away in panic at the slightest sign of trouble.
Although they are all comparing the worst, there is still a certain deviation between the worst and the worst.
'Well, now is the time to look for it.'
Taking his hand away from the ticket counter, Bai Ling glanced at the "carousel" hanging by chains in front of him.
'The aesthetics are really shoddy.'
He sighed in his heart, then walked past these people one by one.
Of course, from the outside, Bailing's steps were extremely firm after entering the game facility, as if he had chosen the goal from the beginning, without a moment's pause in between.
This made Xiao Liu, who was watching from behind, extremely angry.
"Mad man, scumbag!" Xiao Liu cursed in a low voice, "I should have locked him up and made him unable to move!"
Xu Zhongxing smiled bitterly and said, "Well, it can only be said that it is a matter of personal choice. Perhaps in his heart, his sister is indeed more advanced."
However, Xu Zhongxing still felt something was strange.
To be honest, Xu Zhongxing had been paying attention to Bai Ling since he started speaking.
After all, he couldn't possibly intend to make someone act according to his wishes with words alone. When necessary, force was still trustworthy.
But what was beyond his expectations was that during the time when he explained the pros and cons, Bai Ling did not move at all.
After he and Xiao Liu finished their last words, Bai Ling moved. And even Xu Zhongxing didn't notice this movement!
Xiao Liu next to him probably didn't know this, so he just thought Bai Ling had a despicable plan. But Xu Zhongxing knew very well that Bai Ling's sudden action was completed in an instant without him noticing it! How could he be so fast? As the person who paid the most attention to Bai Ling at this moment, Xu Zhongxing was shocked to find that even though he never relaxed his vigilance against Bai Ling, he still didn't notice how Bai Ling stepped past him and went directly to the ticket counter.
You know, Xu Zhongxing was originally prepared to pin Bai Ling to the ground. Unfortunately, before he could even reach out his hand, the other party stepped past him, and just beyond the maximum distance of his fastest reach!
Is it a coincidence?
Xu Zhongxing didn’t know.
All he knew was that the white phosphorus seemed to have illuminated the merry-go-round he wanted to "ride".
It has to be said that the park is quite user-friendly in these aspects. For example, the carousel that Bering chose is relatively small, so he did not let Bering ride on the "horse" directly. Instead, he pulled a chain next to it and connected the "horse"'s neck to a real toy, which means that Bering can ride on this thing.
Without a moment's hesitation, Bai Ling rode on.
Outside, Le Yuan gloated, "Haha, it looks like your companions didn't listen to you!"
"But don't worry about it, you two. You don't have much time to worry about it anyway," Le Yuan said with a big laugh. "It won't be long before the fog will dissipate. By then, the 'tourist area' will expand to the entire theme park. Unless you have enough 'currency', you will probably die a very ugly death..."
Will the tourist area expand?!
Hearing this, Xu Zhongxing and Xiao Liu were horrified! They still remembered the definition of "tourist area" given by the missing Countermeasures Bureau Commissioner.
That is... a punishment countless times more painful than death!
Xu Zhongxing and Xiao Liu were not afraid of death, but if they had to be tortured after death, that would be the real horror! Thinking of this, Xu Zhongxing gritted his teeth and said, "There's nothing I can do."
He grabbed Xiao Liu's sleeve and said, "I will take all the responsibility! Now let's quickly exchange the currency and then enter the amusement facility! This amusement facility was not affected by the fog. I'm afraid it is independent of the tourist area. In other words, this is the best refuge!"
"We can exchange the currency but not spend it. We can just stay here!" Xu Zhongxing said, "until... the others arrive!"
Looking at Xu Zhongxing's face, Xiao Liu nodded heavily! The two of them quickly exchanged their "existence" as currency and broke into the carousel! Outside, the voice of Paradise was gloating: "Haha! That's it, human hypocrisy and self-righteousness!"
"After entering Paradise, you still want to maintain your pitiful and fragile morality?" His voice was filled with undisguised evil. "Have you ever asked me if I agree?"
"You must know that this is the graveyard of your morality. It is the beginning of the collapse of your beliefs, and it is also the nightmare that you are most unwilling to escape from for countless days and nights in the future!"
Amidst a creepy and cold laugh.
Bai Ling squatted in front of a little boy and patted his head gently: "Hello, little Wu Shiyuan."
Opposite him, a boy covered in bruises and blood looked at him blankly.
"Are you here to kill me too?" He turned his head and looked at Bai Ling.
And Bai Ling rubbed his head: "Of course not, in fact, it's just the opposite."
"I'm here to save you," he said, "and not just you, but the others who remain here, and your friends as well."
After saying that, Bai Ling let go of his hand: "But before that, I want to ask you a question."
"What is your relationship with the master of the Countermeasures Bureau and his lover?"
