Less than ten minutes after the "game live broadcast" began, guest number one Garrett passed away.
Hill, who has been in charge of personnel dispatch at headquarters for a long time, knows very well that unless the incident occurs very clearly and nearby, it will take S.H.I.E.L.D.'s support basically thirty minutes to arrive at the scene.
Thirty divided by three gives them ten minutes each.
But after two people died, the third one might be the one with the shortest life.
Because of this Jeff, it seemed that he enjoyed their mutual suspicion and attacks.
The last person left has no one to suspect or attack, and what may be waiting for him is perhaps the final ten-second countdown.
What kind of criminals are the most difficult to deal with? Those who are completely unaffected by the outside world are undoubtedly the best.
Ward said at the side: "I will let her live to the end."
Luke uttered an "oh" and grinned again, revealing two rows of white teeth. "Congratulations, Mr. Ward. Your bravery has activated the hidden brave mode!"
Ward and Hill's hearts skipped a beat.
Luke held up the button with a short wire in his hand and showed it to them: "See? There are actually two buttons on it. If you press the red one, everything will remain the same as before. If you press the black one on the back, the button in your hand will activate the judgment machine in front of you within ten seconds."
Ward and Hill's expressions suddenly became interesting.
The first time, see who kills the opponent first.
The second time, it’s about who is more willing to sacrifice themselves.
Hill was better off, he was just normally surprised at this kind of "suicide to save others" behavior. After all, few people would give up their lives easily.
At this moment, Ward's heart was filled with a thousand alpacas running through his head: WDNMD, Mr. Zha! Can't you afford to play
He had just said that when the psychopath opposite him suddenly did this.
Moreover, the front of the double-sided button is white with a red light. If you pay a little attention, you can find the bulge on the button, but the back is black electrical tape with a black button.
Most of the time, the black button was either hidden in electrical tape or blocked by Luke's hand, making it impossible to find.
Now that Luke is doing this, isn't it obvious that he has been waiting here for a long time
Are you decisive in killing? Then this time we will test your courage to sacrifice. You will be tested on your ability to sacrifice.
Luke smiled, turned his head and winked at the camera behind him: "Dear audience, you can start choosing the lucky guests. What if your wish comes true?"
Turning back, he pressed the button without hesitation: "Now, the game begins."
"Ten, nine..." the electronic voice sounded again, making the people watching in S.H.I.E.L.D. feel a chill in their hearts.
Hill's fingers hesitated.
The thought of pressing the button and the scene in which Jeff just said to her, "Promise me that you'll live, okay?" kept fighting in her mind.
It’s not that Hill is afraid of death, on the contrary, it takes greater courage to survive.
Because no one knows how psychopath Jeff will torture the last person after he can no longer play this two-choice game.
If I press the button now, everything will be over.
Pressing the button quickly can mean self-sacrifice, or it can mean giving up early due to lack of willpower. Of course, it can also be said to be accepting death calmly.
Coupled with the biological instinct for survival, Ward and Hill's expressions changed significantly.
Therefore, if people are just a little simpler and more straightforward, then they can decide whether to live or die without being so entangled.
The two male and female agents, who were deep-minded and experienced, fell into torment.
Ten seconds can be a long time, but at this moment it is undoubtedly very short.
The two of them felt that they had only hesitated for a moment when the electronic voice said: "Three, two..."
Bang!
Ward lowered his head with wide eyes and looked at his finger.
At the last second, it was suddenly pressed down by an invisible force, just a little bit before Hill, and successfully killed itself.
Ward's heart was filled with surprise, confusion and anger at this moment.
Then he suddenly understood and used up his last bit of strength to look at the psychopath in the purple suit: "You, are you kidding me?..."
Luke grinned, still the kind of "laugh" without laughter, only an exaggerated smile, gently raised his index finger and pressed it on his mouth: "Sorry, yes."
Ward's eyes gradually darkened, and he only heard the last sentence, which seemed to come from the distant horizon: "Just a joke."
Inside S.H.I.E.L.D., everyone was silent.
They saw everything that happened just now very clearly.
Hill and Ward pressed the button almost at the same time at the last minute, but Ward seemed to be a little bit early.
Just this little bit made him the second person to die.
Although Ward showed extraordinary ruthlessness and decisiveness in the choice between Ward and Garrett, this time it seemed to partially prove his previous words.
Maybe it was just because Garrett was living in too much pain that he chose to take action first
The consecutive deaths of two agents have made everyone a little confused.
Nick Fury spoke up: "How long will it take for the rescue team to arrive?"
Sitwell: “Five minutes.”
Nick Fury had a gloomy expression and said nothing more.
There's no point in urging it. The maximum speed of an ordinary Quinjet is just there, and it's impossible for it to suddenly reach the speed of light.
In the remaining five minutes, we can only wait and see what tricks this lunatic Jeff comes up with.
If he continues to be as ruthless as before, Hill will definitely not survive.
On the other side of the screen, Luke walked up to Hill and took the button from her hand: "Congratulations, Ms. Maria Hill, you are the only winner of this game."
Hill's mind was in a mess.
She didn't expect that it was Ward who died in the end.
Is it easy to grit your teeth and decide to sacrifice yourself at the last second
Now, what kind of fate will she face as the only one left
Luke reached out and touched her head, then slowly walked past her and behind her: “Don’t worry, the winner should be rewarded.”
Everyone at SHIELD was worried again: why did this posture look so much like the feeling before an execution
Then, Luke took out a needle behind Hill, grinned silently, and stabbed it into Hill's neck.
It's over! Everyone in SHIELD who saw this scene exclaimed in their hearts, and many people's breathing even stopped as the needle was inserted.
As he watched Hill's eyes slowly close and his head droop, this thought became even more obvious.
Then, Luke walked towards the camera with a smile on his face: "This game of Jumanji has officially ended. Friends who are interested, please stay tuned. The next episode will be available soon. Please continue to support us. Good night."
As he said this, he turned off the camera.
On the SHIELD side, many screens still showed that strange smiling face that was so close.
The pale skin of the smiling face looked like it was painted, the deep-set eyes were surrounded by a large circle of black eyelids, and the bright red lipstick was applied beyond the thickness of the lips themselves, forming a typical "bloody mouth" as the mouth grinned.
With his medium-length hair combed back into a slicked-back style and the purple suit, this final image was deeply imprinted in the minds of everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D.
