Chapter 86: Couple Butcher: The Best Solution

When Fang Rui woke up, he saw Mu Mian sitting opposite him, his hands and feet were tied up, and he was wearing a black electrode cap on his head.

His consciousness gradually became clear, and he found that he was also tied up, and he should also be wearing that strange thing on his head.

Those black wires were connected to computer equipment.

They were locked in a warehouse covered with iron sheets. The light was very dim. Judging from the sunlight coming in from the high windows, it was already morning.

Fang Rui found a table on his left hand side, with a laptop on the table, and Zhou Junwei's cold face on the screen.

"Officer Fang, you finally woke up?" Zhou Junwei showed a weird smile, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"What do you want to do?"

"Isn't it obvious? I want you to play a game. Because I want to know what love is like for autistic people. I hope you can satisfy me, otherwise your end may be more tragic."

Fang Rui understood that Zhou Junwei must have mistakenly thought that he and Mu Mian were a couple.

"Forensic Doctor Mu, are you still pretending to sleep?" Zhou Junwei looked at Mu Mian, "The dose of anesthetic we injected you is much less than that of Officer Fang. He is awake, so you should have woken up a long time ago, right? Or do you need me to wake you up with an electric shock?"

"No need. I'm already awake." Mu Mian hurriedly said. She originally wanted to pretend to sleep to delay some time, but she didn't expect to be discovered.

"You already know the purpose of my inviting you here. Next, I will announce the rules of the game to you. This is a very simple game. You each have a red button in your hand. The game is divided into six rounds. In each round, the person who presses the button first can make a choice: to electrocute yourself or to electrocute your lover. If neither of you presses the button or you press the buttons at the same time, both of you will suffer the electric shock of this round.

The voltage intensity of each round is random. I have set six voltage intensities: 30V, 36V, 40V, 220V, 300V, and 450V. They will appear randomly in each round of the game."

After Fang Rui heard the rules of the game, he suddenly realized that in this game only one person can survive or both people will die.

"You should have understood the rules of the game. Let's start the game first." Zhou Junwei announced, "Now is the first round of the game. You need to press the button and make your choice within one minute. There is plenty of time, so you can think about it slowly."

As soon as Zhou Junwei finished speaking, Fang Rui firmly pressed the button.

"Officer Fang, don't you think about it?" Zhou Junwei was a little surprised, "The other participants in this game will at least hesitate for a while, and then the ruthless and heartless person will make a selfish choice first."

Mu Mian looked at Fang Rui in a daze. She knew what the optimal solution to this game was, and she also knew what Fang Rui wanted to do.

Fang Rui said: "I choose to electrocute myself."

The countdown on the screen disappeared, and the voltage value appeared: 30V.

"Officer Fang, you are lucky. You drew the lowest voltage in the first round. You will not be hurt this round."

The second round began, and the countdown for pressing the button and making a choice became 20 seconds.

Fang Rui almost had his hand on the button, so he pressed the button faster.

"I still choose to electrocute myself."

This time the voltage intensity that appeared on the screen was 40V. At the same time, Fang Rui's body trembled slightly, and a painful expression appeared on his face, but he tried hard to suppress it.

"Officer Fang, do you feel the pain of the electric shock? I hope you won't make a decision so hastily in the next round."

"Fang Rui, why did you choose to electrocute yourself?"

"Mu Mian, if there is only one chance to survive, I want you to survive." Fang Rui smiled at Mu Mian.

"Why? Fang Rui, you are so young, you definitely don't want to die, why do you give me the chance to live?" Mu Mian couldn't figure out this question.

Why? Fang Rui thought it might be because he fell in love with Mu Mian.

When did he fall in love with Mu Mian?

Fang Rui was not sure. At first he thought Mu Mian was a genius, and he was nice to her so that she could help solve the case better.

Later his thoughts changed.

Maybe it was when he saw Mu Mian carefully disguising herself again and again and thought she was disguising herself well, he thought she was funny and pitiful, and couldn't help wanting to indulge her to be her true self.

Maybe when Mu Mian racked her brains to get his body. Sometimes he couldn't help thinking, why not just agree to her. But he felt that he couldn't agree, because if he did, he would no longer be important to Mu Mian.

Maybe it was when he sent the skeleton bride away, that day Mu Mian said that she liked him very, very, very much. At that time, he felt uncontrollably happy, even though he knew that Mu Mian's liking was no different from liking the skeleton bride.

"The third round has begun." Zhou Junwei reminded.

"Mu Mian, don't press that button." Fang Rui said to Mu Mian, "I promised to protect you."

"No!"

But Fang Rui still pressed the button faster than her.

The voltage of this round is 300V. Fang Rui twitched violently for a while and was almost unconscious.

Zhou Junwei's tone was a little excited: "The sixth round is about to begin. This time you only have five seconds to make a choice."

Before the game started, Mu Mian pressed the button and didn't let go.

The best solution to this game is for only one person to survive, and the best solution now is for Fang Rui to bear the last electric shock, and the person who survives should be Mu Mian.

But Mu Mian can't think rationally now. She feels that she should do something, even if she will die.

Mu Mian said sorry to her sister in her heart. She promised her sister that she would always be with her, but she may not be able to do it now.

The voltage value was displayed on the screen: 30V.

The expected electric shock did not come.

"Forensic Doctor Mu, congratulations on winning this game. You survived." Zhou Junwei looked at Fang Rui who had fainted, and sighed, "It's a pity that you lost your lover."

Mu Mian did not respond to Zhou Junwei.

She stared blankly at Fang Rui who was motionless.

Reason told Mu Mian that she should be very happy because she finally got Fang Rui's body - he died of homicide, and as a forensic doctor, she could follow the procedure to dissect his body.

But the sorrow swept over her like a huge wave and drowned her. She felt like she was drowning and couldn't breathe.

Mu Mian's mind was blank, she seemed to be out of touch with reality, and a message was clamoring in her ears: Fang Rui is dead.

No one will ever tell her that she can be herself; no one will happen to like the food she doesn't like and be willing to eat it; no one will be able to take her to and from work... Without Fang Rui, her life is missing a big part.

She got Fang Rui's body, but lost a piece of the puzzle of her life, and she can never get it back.

With a bang, the iron gate opened from the outside. The dazzling sunlight shone into Mu Mian's eyes, making her feel dazed.

Zhou Junwei and Zhang Ming walked in.
