Chapter 114: Ren Xue 13 ┃ Whoever lets go first can live

Views:

What will happen, no one can predict, but there is a way better than waiting to die.

The timer on the wall began to count down one minute to eleven, and the four people in Test Room C sat down against the wall, waiting for midnight to decide life and death.

Ke Xun and Mu Yiran were sitting farther away from Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan. In the dark, Ke Xun put his mouth to Mu Yiran's ear and spoke in a very low voice: "...Actually, I don't rely on this method at all. spectrum."

"En." Mu Yiran felt the heat blowing on the auricle, and remained motionless.

"A brother in my university dormitory was electrocuted," Ke Xun said, trying to use a volume that Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan could not hear. "He said that the whole person's consciousness was blurred during the electrocution process, and it was impossible to think, let alone Said to stare at the watch and wait five seconds…”

This unreliable method is just to comfort the two girls.

"I know." Mu Yiran finally spoke, and after the cold voice was lowered, there was a sense of abstinence, "But if this experiment is to test human nature or human will, then I think, the current that this machine can create Intensity, it’s going to be controlled at a level that keeps people awake, it’s both excruciatingly painful and awake enough to think about tradeoffs, and it’s a pretty brutal setup.”

"That being said, I might really be able to try my method." Ke Xun said, suddenly tilted his head and sneezed.

"Cold?" Mu Yiran asked.

"No." Ke Xun rubbed his nose and turned his head, not saying that it was his hair that actually got into his nostrils - if he said it, this guy probably wouldn't let him get so close.

"Although you can try your method, it's unlikely to succeed." Mu Yiran didn't notice it at all, and just continued to say in a low voice, "Let's not say everyone's reaction speed is fast or slow, even if the first few It was a fluke, and I don't think those 'researchers' would allow this experiment to go wrong again and again, and they would remove the problem in time to make the experiment go smoothly."

"So it's very likely that they will kill the phone?" Ke Xun thought thoughtfully, "Then we can just count to five with our mouths, or we don't need to count at all. One person calls to let go, and the others let go together."

"It's the same sentence, people's reaction speed is fast or slow, whether they can succeed or not depends on luck." Mu Yi said.

Ke Xun didn't say anything, and the two fell into a long silence.

After a long period of time, Ke Xuncai spoke again, but he told Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan of the remedy plan to let go of his hands with his mouth, and finally added: "If unfortunately even your mouth is blocked, your throat will always be blocked. If you can hum and your throat can’t make a sound, just count to five in your heart, although it’s probably not successful, but we’ve all tried our best to survive, and we’re not guilty of dying in one second.”

The sobbing voices of Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan came from the darkness.

Ke Xun's voice brought a smile: "Xiao Li, you can think so, maybe this time you will really wear it, and dress like a beautiful lady, your father will love your mother, eat delicious and spicy, and grow When you get older, the overbearing prince will love you to the death, and all kinds of beautiful boys will pester you every day if you are not married. Since then, your life has reached the peak, so hi, isn't it?"

Li Yaqing snorted twice and said vaguely, "I don't want to travel... let's be reborn..."

Ke Xun smiled, leaned his head against the wall behind him, tilted his face, and asked Mu Yiran, who was so close but couldn't see his face: "Do you have any last words to explain?"

Mu Yiran didn't speak, and Ke Xun didn't ask any more questions. The laboratory fell back into the terrible silence before death.

Time passed by every second, and death was approaching step by step.

Finally, the sound of footsteps came from the corridor, and they walked towards the door of the laboratory in a leisurely manner.

Ke Xun stretched out his hand, found Mu Yiran's hand accurately in the dark, held him tightly, tilted his head close to his ear, and whispered, "Yanran, I don't regret it at all. into the painting."

If you don't enter the painting, how can I meet you.

Is this... his last word? Mu Yiran's hands tightened, not knowing whether it was himself or Ke Xun.

The moment before the door of the laboratory was opened, Ke Xun flashed the screen of his mobile phone and placed it in front of the two machines.

The faint light was enveloped in the darkness, barely half a meter away, and it was impossible to see anything coming in from outside the door. The footsteps were clattering, accompanied by indistinct conversations that seemed to be far and near. Walking back and forth indoors sounds busy.

Ke Xun stared at the direction of the sound and tried his best to look, but he couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, a light flashed in my mind, and I wanted to take out my phone to turn on the camera, but I remembered that my phone had been lit and the screen was placed in front of the machine.

Just as he was about to signal Mu Yiran to turn on the phone, he heard a voice in those vague voices suddenly rising by a few decibels, and the sound of footsteps rushing towards the direction of the four of them.

When Ke Xun turned around, he suddenly stretched his arms tightly around Mu Yiran.

Mu stunned for a moment, frowning slightly - Ke Xun, this kid would not do such weird things at such a time, even if he was not in a tune, he must have a purpose for doing this - what did he think of? Could it be—

Mu Yiran could no longer think about it, but felt that an irresistible force pulled him and Ke Xun from the ground, and pushed the frame towards the direction of the two machines.

The machine was already powered on, and the red, yellow and green indicators glowed brightly in the dark. With the help of this faint light, Mu Yi saw Ke Xun being pushed to sit on the chair on the other side of the same machine as him. On top, a few things like belts were buckled, and the bodies and limbs of the two were firmly fixed.

Some "people" pressed their heads and kept their eyes on the long, illuminated electronic screen on the machine, which displayed a line of instructions for use.

If one side lets go first, the other side will die.

When he finally fixed his head, Mu Yiran saw that Ke Xun turned his face in this direction, smiled at him, blinked his curved eyes, and said two words to him with his mouth. Words: Goodbye.

Mu Yiran was shocked by a heart attack for no reason.

- Ke Xun is intentional! Intentionally hugging him "under the eyes" of these "researchers", Ke Xun must have guessed that the four people who were assigned to the C laboratory would be assigned to the same group in pairs based on what basis - the closer the person, the test. The higher the value of human nature and willpower, Li Yaqing was assigned to the same group as her best friend Zhao Youyi last night, so if these "researchers" consider it to be a romantic relationship, the possibility of being assigned to the same group will be even higher. high.

Why did Ke Xun want to be in a group with himself and accept this experiment that he could only survive by killing each other

Mu Yiran doesn't have to guess, he knows Ke Xun - he doesn't even know when he started to know this person - Ke Xun doesn't want him to die, if he is separated from any of the other two. In the same group, he must be Mu Yiran who died.

So Ke Xun wanted to team up with him, he wanted to protect him, and he wanted to force him to live with his own hands.

Even if he died, he would die in his hands.

this fool. Mu Yiran stared coldly and gloomily at the phone screen not far in front of him. The stopwatch had already started timing. He and Ke Xun had to see the time the moment the power was turned on, and wait for five seconds to let go at the same time—what a foolish method. , only this fool could come up with such a silly idea.

All the ideas were so stupid that he wanted to beat him to tears.

Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan still couldn't resist the fear in their hearts, and they were so frightened that they cried, but this did not cover up the prompt sound when the power was turned on.

Di-

An invisible fluid that was like electricity but not electricity rushed out from the end of the wire held in the palm of the hand and ran through the whole body.

As Mu expected, this current is not enough to cause confusion, and the pain it causes to the human body happens to be stuck between "unbearable" and "painful death".

It won't kill you, but you can't stand it either.

This is a kind of pain that makes people's whole body feel like being hammered, burned, needled and bitten by ants.

The screams of Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan sounded shrill, and Mu Yi heard Ke Xun roar: "If I say let go, let go together! One! Two! Loosen!"

Mu Yiran knew that Ke Xun had to shout, whether Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan cried so much that they could see the phone screen, let's not talk about it, listening to the screams of these two people, if there was no one to guide, I'm afraid they would immediately let go regardless.

Mu Yiran let go of Ke Xun's voice, but he was actually hesitant for a moment. He was afraid that Ke Xun would not let go, and that this guy would be stupid again.

But after a second thought, he felt that, rather than dying at his own hands, what this foolish guy wanted most was to work hard with him to live.

It turns out that he made the right bet. Although Ke Xun was impulsive at times, he was never reckless. He was actually a man of great ideas.

The crying of Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan continued, which was an excellent phenomenon at this time. The two let go at the same moment and were lucky to survive this time.

But the next time it made a comeback, the irresistible force pushed the end of the wire into the hands of the four people again, the electric current ran through the bodies of the two people on both sides of the machine again, and the screams of Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan shrieked again.

"I'm calling to let go!" Ke Xun shouted again, "One! Two! Let go!"

Once again, four people got away with it.

The stupid guy's idea was stupid, but it really worked.

Mu Yiran was not optimistic about this. This method would most likely not last for one night.

It turned out that this method only supported the four people for less than ten minutes. The "researchers" seemed to have discovered the problem, and they sealed the mouths of the four people.

Not only could he not speak, he could not even make a sound in his throat.

The direction Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan were in became extremely quiet, and they couldn't even make a sob.

At the moment when the current passed through again, Mu Yi stared at the time on the stopwatch on the phone screen.

This method is actually very risky. If the two of them are slow for one second when looking at the watch, they may die instantly because of the slow second when they let go.

But now Mu Yiran has no time to think about whether Ke Xun is slow or fast for a second, he can only choose to believe him, and can only face to kill him, or be killed by him.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

5 seconds.

let go!

I can't hear the voice next to me, I don't know if Ke Xun is dead or alive.

After a brief pause, the current was turned on again - he was still alive, so the experiment continued!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 5 seconds, let go.

After a short pause, the current is switched on.

Countdown. let go. pause. power ups.

Time and time again, in a room without any sound, the icy cruel process was repeated and continued.

Mu Yiran couldn't hear or see Ke Xun in the darkness, let alone imagine what he looked like at the moment.

But he knew that he had been working hard, trying to live with him.
