Chapter 187: Death Game, a few Soul Hall elders?
Faced with this situation, Toru Amuro didn't know what expression to make.
He felt that the image of the person in front of him overlapped with the member of the organization he was familiar with many years ago, and all the years seemed to have lost their weight and fell lightly to the ground.
Sure enough, Punch is still Punch, the same Punch who enjoys taking pleasure in the death of others.
"Since you anticipated this, you must have made some preparations, right?" he asked calmly.
On the stage, Yuejiang Hemei's body quickly fell heavily to the ground, lying in a pool of blood. The guards rushed onto the stage and surrounded Yuejiang Hemei.
There was a faint mournful cry coming from Yue Jiangfeng, calling his sister's name.
The loss of his loved ones made him very emotional, and the attendants around him had to hold him back to prevent him from falling on the corpses.
Lin Xi nodded, then shook her head.
"I'm prepared, huh? Didn't I invite you along?" she said nonchalantly. "We'll just take the rest one step at a time."
Amuro Toru was speechless: "What can I do alone?"
The power of one person is ultimately limited. Although he appears to be a lone ranger within the organization, he has actually developed quite a network of contacts, and he has a large group of public security officers supporting him.
Besides, this wasn't familiar territory. Amuro Toru had only briefly explored the underground structure last night, and he couldn't help but be struck by its vastness. There must be many passages and mechanisms here. Mapping them all would take a long time, and with the deaths already occurring, they didn't have much time.
Lin Xi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the loud broadcast.
It was a hoarse voice as if there was glass in the throat. It was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. It was so unpleasant that one could not help but cover their ears.
"The Avenger from the Abyss brings you the sweetest death. Everyone, welcome to the Death Game."
The commotion in the audience grew even louder.
The sudden change frightened some guests. They hurriedly tried to leave their seats, but when they were about to step out of the arena, they received strong electric shocks and uttered painful cries.
This made the remaining people who wanted to leave stop in their tracks.
"Haha, the game has begun. No one is allowed to leave until it's over." The voice carried to everyone's ears through the countless speakers in the arena. "Your bracelets are equipped with micro-explosives. If you leave the designated range, they will explode."
“The winner takes all, the loser eats dust. Only those who ultimately triumph in this game can leave here alive and take away all the auction items.”
Lin Xi looked at the bracelet in her hand: "Another bomb bracelet? Too old-fashioned."
She's been through it twice.
"It looks like there's not only a bomb, but also an electric shock function." Amuro Toru said as he looked at the person who was electrocuted and groaning on the ground.
"What should we do next?" he asked Lin Xi.
"Of course I'm joining the game." Lin Xi snapped open her fan. "Bourbon, do you know who the suspect is?"
Amuro Toru said calmly: "It's just a guess."
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Your guess might be the same as mine."
They looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
"—I guess it's Miss Yuejiang."
"—It's Tsukie Kazumi, right?"
"This is the Yuejiang family's auction, and the venue is familiar only to them. They were the ones handing out the problematic bracelets to the guests," Lin Xi said. "If anyone could stage a 'death game' here, it would be them."
"As the Tsukie family's auctioneer, Tsukie Kazumi should have received professional training," Amuro Toru continued. "Before going on stage, she should have memorized the names, contents, and starting prices of the items to be auctioned. When she saw unfamiliar words on the list of items, she should have immediately realized that it was not the item she was about to introduce, rather than reading it out in public and causing a commotion before realizing something was wrong."
"This reaction seemed deliberate, designed to coincide with the announcement and signal the start of the game."
"There's something wrong with her body, too." Lin Xi touched his chin. "Judging from the amount of bleeding, it's coming from the large artery in her neck, but the blood isn't flowing with the necessary force. Theoretically, her blood should have sprayed far away, but the reality is that while it looks like a lot, it's actually just flowing around her."
"And her body was taken down not long after it was hung... Was she afraid she'd hang herself to death if she hung it too long?"
Amuro Toru looked at her speechlessly.
This guy has really bad manners sometimes.
Yuejiang Hemei's body was taken away.
Lin Xi and Amuro Toru knew that she was most likely not really dead.
Regardless of what they thought, the unpleasant voice continued:
"You will be divided into four groups, lettered A to D. The groups will be displayed on your monitors. Players from each region, please play in different places."
"Strive hard, don't let yourself be eliminated too early."
"Hehehe... For the sake of fairness, once cheating is discovered, it will be considered a violation, and the violator will be the first to be eliminated."
"As for the consequences of being eliminated, even if I don't tell you, you can guess it, right?"
And he was laughing like that... This guy scolded several Soul Hall elders and laughed like this?
Lin Xi complained in his heart.
After hearing these words, many people's faces turned pale.
The people who fell to the ground and suffered from electric shocks frightened them, making them involuntarily believe what the voice said.
"What should I do...I want to go home..."
"I still have a lot of things to do, and there are many people waiting for me outside. How could I fail in such a place!"
"Wow, husband, what should we do..."
"Where are the organizers? Such a big thing has happened, come out and give an explanation!"
"...What's the point of looking for them now? Can't you see that Miss Yuejiang is already dead?"
The suppressed sobbing sound reached Amuro Toru's ears. A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
"I was assigned to Area A. Which area are you from?" Lin Xi asked beside him.
Amuro Toru showed her the bracelet.
Also A.
Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. The division of the game was indeed unexpected. She had thought that everyone would work together to overcome the level, and then eliminate until the last person was left.
If she separated from Toru Amuro, she would not be able to directly see what was happening on his side.
However, Toru Amuro was not as relaxed as her.
Now they face two problems.
First, if Tsukie Kazumi participated in organizing the "Death Game", what was her motive?
Slaughtering all the guests here will not allow the Yuejiang family to rise again from a hidden family, but will only make them the target of public criticism and put them on the bounty lists of various countries.
Moreover, in the last sentence that Tsukie Kazumi read out, the word "revenge" was mentioned.
Who wants revenge? And against whom? These are things that cannot be inferred at the moment.
Second, they were all wearing bracelets and were in a situation where the bomb could be detonated and blown to pieces at any time. How could they escape with the USB flash drive of "Dark Night Baron"?
In addition to these two questions, there is a third question in Amuro Toru's mind that makes him very anxious.
That is the death game itself.
As a member of the organization, Bourbon does not have to worry about things other than the mission, but as a public security police officer, Rei Furuya must consider it.
There were hundreds of guests here, and judging by what the person behind the scenes had just said, only one of them would survive.
No matter who the people here are, even if there are vicious criminals among them, Toru Amuro cannot just watch them die.
How can we stop this game?
Punch was not to be counted on. She had seemed excited from the start.
Toru Amuro began to regret not telling the police yesterday.
There is no signal here at all, and he can't contact the outside world at all. His subordinates also know that he has gone to participate in a secret mission. Even if he disappears here now, it will take some time for the police to react.
The complex thoughts distracted him slightly.
But he quickly suppressed his excess emotions.
There is no use in overthinking. The only way to solve a problem is to take action.
However, the girl caught the thought in this moment. She patted Amuro Toru's shoulder and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, Bourbon."
"I brought you here, and I will definitely bring you back safely."
Amuro Toru was speechless: "It's a bit strange to use it here completely..."
The corpse can also be intact.
Shouldn't we use the complete and whole text?
He saw Lin Xi gulp down the red wine in the glass, pulled him, and followed the voice to find the players in the same area as him.
In fact, it is still a bit difficult to get people to follow the instructions in an orderly manner just by broadcasting.
But Yue Jiangfeng also stepped forward and mobilized his servants to help, so there was no chaos.
After the little boy experienced the death of his sister, it only took a while for him to wipe away his tears and take over his sister's affairs like an adult.
His purple eyes, which were exactly the same as his sister's, became the best proof of his identity, making the leaderless servants obey his command.
It was too far away, and Lin Xi couldn't see anything from his face.
Regardless of whether Yuejiang Feng had communicated with Yuejiang Hemei before and was now cooperating with his sister in acting, he made the right choice.
It's best to do what the person behind the scenes says before any guests are injured or killed.
Lin Xi found the players in the same zone as her and discovered that they were a group of acquaintances.
That's right, they were the same people I met at the dinner party yesterday, the man in a three-piece suit and an African wooden mask; the slender young man in a white fox mask and the chubby woman in a stuffed rabbit mask; Mrs. Mizutani's ex-lover and his wife; the burly man in a pure white full-face mask; and the short man in a metal half-face mask.
In addition, there is a tall old man with a goatee, leaning on a cane and wearing a goat skull mask. The hideousness of the mask offsets his kind eyes.
They are all old NPCs, Lin Xi thought.
