The famous name of "Chainsaw" is almost unknown to everyone even in Middle-earth on the other side of the world, let alone Europe, which is culturally interconnected with North America.
As this familiar yet weird puppet face emerged from the black ball, many people subconsciously stepped back and stayed away from the black ball in front of them.
This is an early warning of danger.
At the same time, the puppet in the black ball also opened its simple mouth, and a gloomy and hoarse electronic sound slowly sounded:
"Members of the 'White Embers' organization, I want to play a game with you..."
This sound is no different from the jigsaw in "Saw".
"My name is 'Gantz'. As some of you here have said, I come from a combination of comics and movies. You can call me 'Gantz' or just ' G', of course, I personally prefer the title 'Gantz'."
"You kidnapped us here?"
As the black ball made a sound, several people began to come back to their senses. They rushed forward one by one and said inwardly, "Let us go back quickly, what do you want to do!"
However, these people were eventually stopped by the people around them.
"Don't be impulsive, just listen to him man!"
After a while, these people calmed down again from the excitement.
"Good, it seems some people have calmed down from their hot-headed state."
On the black ball, the weird puppet laughed lowly, "Very good, I like people who can think, because as long as they are not too unlucky, they can often survive to the end. After all, the first to die are often those who like Hot-headed people.”
Following Black Ball's words, everyone suddenly started arguing loudly again, "Wait a minute, what do you mean by living to the end? Do you want to kill us!"
Seeing this, Fisher on the side winked at the people behind him. Then he walked directly in front of everyone and said loudly, "Now that we are being held here, there is only one way to save ourselves, and that is to calm down!"
As he said that, several people who followed Fisher's orders also walked to Fisher's side and blocked everyone.
Frightened by Fisher's status as leader, everyone was suppressed again.
Black Ball ignored everyone's quarrel and spoke indifferently again, "Maybe you haven't figured out the situation yet, but I suggest that you still listen carefully, because every word I say next is related to your life and death... "
Black Ball said slowly, "Except for some mercenaries and killers, most of you are from environmental protection organizations, with the 'Voluntary Human Extinction' organization being the largest."
"You take protecting the earth as your own responsibility, and under the guise of returning the earth to nature, you continue to persuade others to stop having children, and you give yourself a reputation of 'altruism'."
"But I believe that both humans and other life forms are essentially egoistic."
"The meaning of life's existence is to continue, and the most fundamental means of continuation of life is to collect energy from the outside world. This is an essentially self-interested behavior. This is true for all life, without any exception."
The two blond women beside Fisher subconsciously wanted to refute, but Black Ball continued to speak:
"I know that in your sociology books, it has been mentioned that humans are the only creatures with 'altruistic behavior' - lower creatures are like wildebeests, whose number and size are ten times and hundreds of times that of predators, but they can only be reduced to The prey will not be able to turn over for thousands of years.”
"Humans are different. Since the age of apes, humans have assisted each other. Even the top predators do not dare to attack the ape tribe rashly, because they know that attacking a homo sapiens will cause the entire population to attack. This group of standing monkeys will not disperse like wildebeests... "
"The reason why humans are better able to help each other and face danger than those herbivores is because the brain evolved a special empathy mechanism during this period. This mechanism allows humans to have feelings for their companions who are in crisis and difficulty. Show your compassion and help them."
Black Ball continued to state, "So textbooks always explain that there are obvious altruistic behaviors in human society. This is because altruistic behaviors are definitely beneficial to the entire population. Members help each other and jointly resist crises, and the population will Become stronger..."
Just when everyone was listening thoughtfully, Black Ball's voice suddenly changed and said in a low voice, "But, all this is an illusion."
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.
"I know that many public figures like to do charity, and so do ordinary people. After helping people in trouble, it is easy to get positive feedback, that is, gratitude and reward from others."
"Such behavior will be enhanced by genes, and the human brain will also mutate to produce the pleasure of being thanked. Therefore, what makes us feel pleasure is not helping others, but the reaction of others to you after helping others. .”
"However, if after helping someone, that person responds indifferently or even sarcastically to you, then the emotion produced in your brain is not happiness, but anger..."
"Ah."
"Therefore, any seemingly altruistic behavior among humans is actually a self-interested behavior. Even if it is charity, it is for the purpose of gaining social recognition, and ultimately it is a self-serving purpose."
After hearing Black Ball's words, everyone exploded again. Some people loudly rebuked this as sophistry, but some people couldn't help but look thoughtful.
Black Ball didn't explain anything, but his voice was deeper, "I know many people don't want to agree with my point of view, so I want to play a game with you, a game that tests human beings' self-interested behavior' and 'altruistic behavior' .”
"The rules of the game are like this-"
"In five days, you will be sent to a small and empty island." As he said that, the picture on the black ball flashed and turned into a distant view of an unknown island on the sea.
I saw that this small island is full of lush jungles, surrounded by golden beaches, and deep in the island is a small hill, which has been covered by trees, and the river flowing on the island can be faintly seen.
"This island, which I named Ganz Island, covers an area of about 35 square kilometers, which is about the size of an island map in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. There are at least a thousand such unknown islands in the Atlantic Ocean. So much."
"But don't worry, I sent you here not to ask you to kill each other like in the game. That is a very tasteless thing... All players will land on the island in five days, and I will give you players every A contact device is distributed to each person, and the contact device can not only check the location of everyone, but also contains an electronic password map in each contact device. "
"The purpose of this decoding map is to turn on the signal tower on the island."
Black Ball began to explain the rules, "On this black light island, there are a total of two hundred signal towers, evenly distributed in every corner of the island. As long as you find one of the signal towers, you can click on it with the electronic code map in your hand. Light them up, you can only light up a tower once per picture.”
"But I want to warn you that this picture has a special curse. Once you use it to light up a signal tower, you will be contaminated with this curse called 'filth'."
"curse?"
A look of disbelief flashed across many faces.
"It's a special curse."
Black Ball explained, "After being infected by the curse, players will turn into ashes within a day and die in a miserable state. There is only one way to stop it, and that is the top of the hill in the center of the island."
"On the top of the island, there is a safe area covered by a metal statue, where the curse cannot spread."
"Of course, the safe zone can only prevent the spread of the curse, but it cannot completely eradicate the curse. If the player leaves the safe zone, the curse will continue..."
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed again.
"Of course, if players want to win, it's actually not difficult."
Black Ball ignored the increasingly ugly expressions on everyone's faces and continued, "There are only 200 signal towers on the island. As long as all the signal towers are lit up, those players who are not using communicators will be safe. Get off the island.”
"etc!"
At this moment, someone finally couldn't help it anymore. A middle-aged man with a hooked nose came forward and asked loudly, "What about those people who lit up the signal tower? Can't they leave the island?"
"No, because they have been infected with the curse. This curse can only be relieved in the safe zone of the island. Once they leave the safe zone, they will all die within one day..."
Black Ball answered decisively.
"What kind of bullshit rule is this..."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked again. After all, how many people in this world would be willing to sacrifice themselves and let others leave willingly
"This is what you call altruistic behavior."
Hearing everyone frying, Black Ball remained calm and calm, "You have a total of 550 people in this group. As long as 200 people are sacrificed, the remaining 350 people can be saved. This is a good deal." It’s a deal, isn’t it?”
"In addition, the environment on the island is also very rich. There are countless seafood on the beach and countless wild fruits in the mountains and forests. These foods can satisfy your hunger. The only bad thing is that there are many fish on the island. There are five special residents.”
Special residents
Everyone was startled again, with a vaguely bad association.
The picture on the black ball flashed again, and a man wearing a black trench coat and pale skin appeared on the screen.
This man had almost no expression, but the muscles on his body were extremely developed. Even wearing a windbreaker could not hide his perfect lines.
"T-Tyrant?"
"impossible!"
"A monster from Resident Evil?"
Seeing this, the crowd exclaimed again, and countless people questioned loudly.
"These five residents have very bad tempers. They are very hostile to outsiders. As long as they see you, they will quickly launch a desperate pursuit. Please believe me, without any thermal weapons, Even a squad of a hundred people cannot defeat it in hand-to-hand combat... "
Black Ball said quietly, "The only good news is that these five aborigines will only kill one person at a time and then stop. They randomly wander around every corner of the island, except for the safe area on the top of the mountain, which they will not set foot in." …”
At this time, everyone was in complete chaos. Fisher asked several of his men to protect themselves, crowded in front of the black ball, and suddenly asked, "This... Mr. Ganz, I want to ask, is there time for this 'game'?" Any restrictions?"
"No, even if it takes you a year to light up all the signal towers, you have completed the task, but..."
Black Ball said, suddenly laughing deeply, "I almost forgot, there is a rule I didn't tell you, that is, if the player who lit up the signal tower dies, no matter how he died, the signal tower he lit up will be Failure, thus requiring the next contactor to light up."
"What?"
Everyone wailed again, and Fisher's pupils shrank. He immediately thought that in order to ensure that the lighted signal tower would not be extinguished, it was necessary to ensure that all people who lighted the signal tower survived, that is, they must be located In the safe zone.
Those who are not cursed must provide food for this group of people, at least provide them with enough food before all the signal towers are lit, preventing them from starving to death and causing the signal towers to fail.
"What if we steal someone else's communicator to light up the tower?"
At this moment, another man asked, and the ill-intentioned words made the others frown.
"Meaningless."
However, Black Ball replied, "Even if a player robs someone else's contact device to light up the signal tower, the player himself will still be infected with the curse, not the owner of the contact device. However, the player who lost the contact device will be the first to be infected by the curse on the island. The five indigenous targets will be chased all the way until the player is killed or the player escapes to the safe zone."
Hearing this, Fisher felt cold again, because this basically eliminated the possibility of one person sacrificing himself and using dozens of communicators to light up those signal towers.
Because not only those who light up the signal tower will die, but those who donate the communicator will also be in danger of being hunted down by the tyrant.
"Those are all the rules for that game five days later."
At this time, Black Ball spoke again, "This is a game between 'self-interested behavior' and 'altruistic behavior'. As everyone who believes in altruistic behavior, will you let others sacrifice and huddle behind the hero to become a hero?" An egoist that I hate?"
“Or must we have the courage to explore all the truth about altruism at the cost of our lives?”
"Everyone, you will be tested, your will will be tested. What no one says is inherently true. If you want it to become the truth, you can only continue to practice it. Whether it is life or death, you have the right to choose for yourself..."
Following Black Ball's words, the entire huge Black Light ship began to ride the wind and waves, sailing towards the exit of the Mediterranean Sea.
Looking from the back of the Black Light, we can only see the end of the sea level, where a bright red sunset has filled the sky, turning the entire Black Light into a giant ship filled with blood...
