"—Choose him! I'll choose him!" Liu Yufei stretched his arms emotionally and pointed straight at Mu Yiran.
Everyone looked at him with different expressions on their faces.
"Choose him! Everyone chooses him! The surname is Mu!" Liu Yufei's facial features were distorted by extreme emotions, "Anyone who has entered the first two paintings knows that no matter who this person forms a group with, in the end, only he will come out by himself. Where's his mates?! Have you ever wondered, where did all his mates go? Why was he the only one out? Listen - don't be fooled by his looks, if we all die less and less in the end The rest are with him, you think, what will happen? He must leave alone, and the rest will all die in the painting! So choose him! We all choose him, let him die first Choose him!"
No one spoke, only Liu Yufei's roar and dust echoed in the dilapidated house.
"Why are you still hesitating?" Liu Yufei's expression was approaching madness, and he gestured with both hands, "You forgot? You don't know - if you don't choose one person before nine o'clock, all of us will They will all die! No time! Who can guarantee that the one who randomly dies is not you?! Choose! Choose quickly! Do you want to delay until nine o'clock?"
Seeing everyone drooping their eyes and still reluctant to speak, Liu Yufei grabbed the front of the owner of the pancake stall next to him and stared at him with bulging eyes: "Speak! Who do you choose?! Choose quickly! Otherwise, I will choose you! You know, You're going to die! You're going to die! Pick up!"
The owner of the pancake stall was shivering, completely losing his will and thinking ability, he just subconsciously listened to Liu Yufei's words, raised his hand and pointed at Mu Yiran.
Mu Yiran's expression was calm, his eyes swept over the people present, and he said lightly: "We all know that the rules in the painting are irreversible and irresistible. So Liu Yufei has at least one sentence that is right. It is meaningless to drag it to nine o'clock, no matter what. , someone will die here eventually, unless everyone doesn't want to leave alive."
The doctor raised his eyes and looked at him: "Yes, whether we like it or not, we can only choose one person according to the rules, although... It's not morally acceptable, but compared with the death of everyone here, we can only choose between two evils. Its light."
"Okay! Don't fake benevolence, righteousness and morality here!" Liu Yufei interrupted irritably, "Humanity is in this place, no bullshit! I only know that I don't want to die, and no one's life is as important as my own! Don't tell me I don't think so in your heart, how selfish people are, who doesn't know who?! I'm not like you hypocrites, who clearly want others to die, and pretend to be helpless on the surface. Who cares! Don't talk about these excuses for your own private thoughts! Hurry up and say who you choose!"
The doctor didn't know if he was out of his mind or didn't want to pay attention to this lunatic, so he lowered his eyelids again and stopped talking.
Liu Yufei became even more irritable, grabbed Wei Dong again, and forced him to ask: "Speak! Who do you choose?"
Wei Dongzheng had no masters, and glanced at Ke Xun next to him.
Ke Xun also looked calm, and said lightly: "I abstain."
Wei Dong hurriedly followed: "I also abstain from voting, and no one chooses, you choose whoever you like!"
Liu Yufei sneered and let go of him: "Oh, pretending to be a good holy father, thinking that you can show your noble human nature if you don't choose anyone? It's more despicable and shameless to pass the burden of murder to others than to choose someone!"
Ke Xunwei raised his chin and looked down at him lightly: "You are right, I am despicable and shameless, you choose me."
Liu Yufei glared at him, and then forced the doctor: "Who do you choose? Don't talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, choose immediately!"
The doctor looked at him calmly: "Please let me think about it. After all, this is no different from killing someone."
Liu Yufei stopped pestering him, and went to press the other two: "If you don't choose others, others will choose you. After nine o'clock, everyone has to die. It's better to die one than the whole, so what is there to hesitate? It is already the best result to have one person sacrifice for everyone. There must be such a person to be selected. Don't hesitate, choose quickly. Time waits for no one. I choose the surname Mu, he is the most cunning person. When it comes to personal interests, he will definitely harm others first to protect himself, choose him! Choosing him is good for us!"
"Hey," Ke Xun narrowed his eyes and walked in front of Liu Yufei, "Don't go too far. Whoever is chosen by others, you have to follow the personal wishes of others. You jump up and down here and interfere, and I won't be convinced by the result of the vote."
Liu Yufei lowered his head more than Ke Xun, and wanted to meet his gaze, he could only raise his face and sneer: "It doesn't matter whether you are convinced or not, as long as the result comes out, it will be recognized and approved by the painting, and you can How old are you?!"
Ke Xun also laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes: "You have already finished your selection just now, right? So now I knock you out, it's not a violation of the rules, right?"
"You—what do you want to do!" Liu Yufei took two steps back in shock.
"I've made it very clear," Ke Xun raised his hand, "I'm an old man, you can re-evaluate after you have tasted my fist."
"You two—" Liu Yufei turned his head in panic and shouted at the other two, "Choose the surname Mu! Choose the surname Mu!"
"I have something to say." Mu Yiran suddenly opened his mouth and glanced at Ke Xun.
Ke Xun turned around and walked back: "I just like to listen to you, talk about it."
Wei Dong: "… "
Mu Yiran's eyes swept to the others again: "Since one person must be selected, there is no need to say redundant words. Everyone present may become the selected one, but we are human beings, not waiting When slaughtering a lamb, the difference between people and sheep is that at least people should have the right to explain why they deserve to be left alive, and others can decide who to choose based on each person’s reasons. I don’t know what you mean?”
"I agree." Ke Xun said.
"I agree too." Wei Dong followed.
"I also think this proposal is very good," the doctor said calmly and rationally, "at least it gives everyone a last chance."
The other two also agreed, and the owner of the pancake stall was still in a trance and didn't say a word.
But Liu Yufei was emotional: "I don't agree! The surnamed Mu wants to cheat, he wants to cheat!"
"Five people agreed, one abstained, and one objected. The proposal should be passed." Ke Xun said as he took two steps forward and punched Liu Yufei in the face.
This punch kept his strength, and only beat Liu Yufei back three or four steps, with two strings of nosebleeds on his face, and successfully interrupted his howling.
"Let's start." Ke Xun said.
Everyone ignored Liu Yufei, who was bewildered by the beating, and only looked at each other a few times before the doctor asked, "Who will come first?"
One of the two people who was in charge of digging graves last night thoughtfully said: "I know, everyone wants to go out alive, and no one wants to be the one who was voted for. Human nature or something, don't mention it in this case.
"I just want to say that I am just an ordinary person. I have lived such a long life and have never done anything bad. I live my life honestly every day. My wife divorced me two years ago and left me and me behind. The child ran away without a trace.
"My child is only three years old this year. My parents are old and in poor health. They spend half of the year in the hospital. If I die here, I don't know what will happen to my child in the future...
"Maybe I haven't had the last meal, maybe my eyes are wide open and confused every day, I don't know why I don't have a parent, or maybe I'm sick and no one cares, such a thin and small body, lonely and pitiful curled up in the corner …
"I'm sorry... I don't want to sell my child to be miserable, but I, I really don't want to leave my poor child to die here, I just hope, I hope you can, think about me a little while you are voting. The situation, I, I thank you all…”
Tears flowed down the man's face as he spoke.
Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, the doctor said, "Then, let me say a few words for myself. I am a doctor. Although there are no tools and medicines in the painting, I can also treat the injured in some cases. Emergency treatment. I don't know if there will be another painting after this painting is taken out. If there is, I think my professional skills will always be able to help everyone. I hope everyone will vote in a while. , can consider my usefulness, thank you."
Another person in charge of digging the grave quickly followed the doctor's words: "I also have uses, I have them, I am a private enterprise owner, I have money, as long as you are willing to let me live, after I get out of the painting, I will give each of you ten 10,000 yuan, I promise! If you don't believe me, I can write an IOU of 100,000 yuan to each of you right now! No—200,000! I'll give each of you 200,000!"
"...I'm tempted." Wei Dong whispered to Ke Xun.
At this moment, Liu Yufei recovered from the state of being beaten, and he didn't care about finding Ke Xun first, and shouted: "Don't choose me, I can't die, I am a doctoral student in a famous school in Beijing. It is a talent that the country focuses on training, and I am useful to the country!
"Do you know how scarce talents are in the country now? Do you know how difficult it is for the country to cultivate a talent? This country needs me, and social progress also needs me. Whether you can live a better life in the future, you all need me like this. Talents!
"You should understand the survival of the fittest, right? Whether it is as large as a macro society or as small as a temporary group like us now, retaining outstanding talents and eliminating useless and mediocre people who will hold back their legs are all to ensure the healthy survival and efficient development of the group. Best way!
"So you can't choose me, you should choose people who are useless to our group! Like him, like them! Use your brains and think about it!"
Liu Yufei pointed at the owner of the pancake stall and Ke Xun Weidong.
Wei Dong was very speechless: "Just this quality is still a doctorate from a famous school? Is it fake?"
Ke Xun was expressionless: "There is no necessary connection between education and quality."
"Then tell me, what advantages and uses do you have to be left behind?!" Liu Yufei glared at the two men.
"Oh, originally I had nothing to say, but after seeing your performance just now, I suddenly discovered my own strengths," Ke Xun said, "At least I won't live for myself by biting others like a mad dog first. die."
As soon as the voice fell, everyone's eyes suddenly flickered with a bit of thought.
Mu Yiran looked at Ke Xun, his eyes slightly deep.
This kid is really unexpected from time to time.
The way he shows in front of people always seems to be a little sloppy and meaningless, and it always gives people the impression of a bad boy who goes his own way.
But what he said just now, whether intentionally or unintentionally, revealed a hint of cunning that was not sharp, but could be fatal in one blow.
Yes, one hit kills.
He doesn't even need to use a word or a sentence to explain the reason why he is worthy of being left. He only needs to grasp the point that people care about the most, fear the most, and taboo the most, and use a high-level comparison to make himself never fail.
—With Liu Yufei's selfish, crazy, clambering and biting as a comparison, no matter how he chooses, others will not choose him, because below him, Liu Yufei is at the bottom.
Now that I think about it, his initial abstention might be a foreshadowing
...is he that smart
People have a thousand faces.
This Ke Xun... Maybe he really shouldn't be underestimated.
