"Hey? Boss Snake, why are his odds so high? He hasn't capped them yet? Aren't you afraid of losing a lot of money?"
Customers looked at the 'Death Penalty Betting' in the local channel and found that the odds for the 'popular player' were 1.65, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised - according to past experience, the odds for the popular player were at most 1.0001 or even lower, and there was a cap on the betting and a limit on each person.
Because everyone can basically tell who will die in each trial by looking at the information of the death row inmate, so Boss Snake will naturally not give away money in vain.
The popular bets in gambling are often on highly unpredictable topics such as 'What is the difference between the highest and lowest votes', 'Can the highest vote exceed 150,000 votes within 15 minutes', and 'Will there be a fight among prisoners within 5 minutes'.
The snake owner next to the bar stuck out his tongue and hissed, "Yeah, I'm losing a lot. If you all bet on him, I'll be in trouble. Hiss~"
The customer laughed and said, "Hey, I don't want to make money from the snake boss. I want to play with a loss. Hey~ I just want to bet on the one with the lowest odds and a limit."
Lawrence looked at the gambling game on the screen and wondered whether he should give it a try. He had been in Broken Lake Prison for more than a year and hadn't gambled for a long time.
Almost anyone can open a local gambling game like this without any restrictions, but there is a prerequisite: the dealer must first deposit a large amount of deposit into Kaimeng Commercial Bank, otherwise the bank will not provide money betting services for the gambling game, and it can also effectively prevent the dealer from suffering heavy losses and refusing to pay debts.
After browsing the odds of the 'highest votes' of the eight death row inmates, Lawrence knew who would most likely be the redeemed in this Blood Moon Trial.
The one with the lowest odds is naturally the one that everyone thinks is bound to die.
Generally speaking, the one with the lowest odds is often the "favorite player" that can be judged from the data. But this time...
"interesting… "
Lawrence smiled and raised the bet to the candidate with the lowest odds.
…
…
Ash finally understood.
Why is Harvey so sure that he will be chosen randomly tonight with a high probability? It turns out that the so-called random choice is the audience voting!
The death row inmate with the most votes will receive the first prize, a trip to heaven!
The executioner will send you straight to heaven!
Then why is it that as long as the audience votes, Ash is doomed
Because Ash has been a hot topic in the news in recent days!
He is the 'Popular Player of the Month' and 'News Cover Person'!
The news in recent days has been all about the glorious history of Ash Hiss's rise to fame in a cult. The story was explained in an easy-to-understand and eloquent way, and even Ash himself enjoyed reading it. It is conceivable that most viewers are now familiar with Ash.
What is audience appeal
This is called audience appeal!
Since you look so familiar, I'll choose you!
He watched as his number of votes grew rapidly, and the scarlet 'executioner' in front of him grew larger and larger, almost occupying most of the platform, squeezing Ash to the edge of the platform, with both of his heels stepping out.
Every cell in his body was roaring, shouting at him to run away!
Just when Ash was about to collapse, a scream suddenly came from the side!
“Ahhhh!”
The ogre prisoner next to him howled like a little girl, as if he had been touched by a branding iron!
The ogre was burned by the blue flame on the thin executioner's body, and he retreated to the edge tremblingly, holding the steel wire with both hands. He looked pitiful, weak and helpless!
At this time, the other prisoners also screamed, each one in excruciating pain.
There were clearly no scars on the surface, but it looked as painful as if a nail had broken off and was stuck in the flesh.
There was even a goblin death row prisoner who took advantage of his light body to walk directly on the steel wire.
They would rather risk falling into the sea than stand with the executioner!
Does it hurt so much
Although he always knew that they were death row prisoners, Ash did not have a clear understanding of this because the chips restricted the prisoners' behavior.
It was not until this moment that he felt a sense of superiority.
Ouch, you guys are screaming so miserably, so scary, death row inmates, unlike me, I don't feel any pain at all~
“Violation… Violation!”
A death row inmate whose lips were bitten by the flames of purgation roared loudly: "This is a violation of human rights. The Blood Moon Trial cannot harm us during the voting process!"
"You are torturing us, trampling on our dignity, and using torturing us as a means of gain!"
"Human rights organizations and members of the city council are also watching the Blood Moon Trial. Hurry up and file a complaint against them and stop them!"
"Yeah, shouldn't we be safe during the voting? Broken Lake Prison violates the rules of the Blood Moon Trial!"
"Stop this trial! Quick!"
Ash also found it strange, because judging from information from all sides, in most cases only one person would die in the Blood Moon Trial, and the other seven could return to prison safely.
In fact, most of the prisoners Ash had met were survivors of the Blood Moon Trial, and some were even regulars who had been on the brink of danger many times.
What's more, the Blood Moon Kingdom attaches great importance to racial rights and human rights (it seems), and will never allow any punishment that uses torture as a means.
Even torture was uniformly changed to "memory retrieval".
Criminals will not be subjected to any torture or forced confession from the time they are arrested to the time they are imprisoned.
You can say it or not, we will not infringe on your human rights in the slightest.
Of course, whether "memory retrieval" is a violation of human rights is another matter.
Therefore, the death row inmates' doubts about Shattered Lake Prison have some legal basis. There is no doubt that their current situation is pure torture, which is inconsistent with the spirit of redemption of the Blood Moon Trial. It is a blasphemy against the Blood Moon Lord and a reversal of the equality of all beings!
“No.”
Nagu shook his head. "The rules of this Blood Moon Trial have been recognized by the parliament, human rights organizations, and various ethnic rights organizations. There are no inhumane arrangements. Although your current situation seems dangerous, as long as you stay where you are and do nothing, you will not be harmed."
"Ah!" At this moment, the executioner of the orc death row prisoner suddenly grew a little bigger, and the flame of the flame of purifying sin burned the orc's skin, causing this burly and strong orc who looked like iron to scream like a little girl.
"You mean you won't get hurt?!" The condemned prisoners were so angry that they were shaking all over. "You... you are a born bastard of an ogre and a goblin. Are you just as good at spewing shit as those green-skinned trash with boar tusks?!"
"A despicable bastard who grew up eating shit in the Lower City Nursing Home!"
"A slut raped by a goblin whore!"
Only then did the death row inmates remember that they had freed themselves from all the shackles and were no longer bound by rules such as racial equality and language politeness. They instantly burst out with vigorous fighting power, as if they wanted to spit out all the dirty words that had been held in their throats for the past few days at once. In one sentence, they could actually include regional discrimination, racial discrimination, and gender discrimination, which made Ash couldn't help but listen attentively.
Until he heard Harvey next to him shout out -
"Fools who believe in the Four Pillars of Deity!"
Ash looked at Harvey. Even though he was not a necromancer, he still felt like he was being scolded, so he also shouted, "A stinking necromancer who likes to sleep with a corpse in his arms!"
Harvey glared at him, and Ash glared back, then he heard the other party ask in a low voice:
"How did you know?"
"ah?"
The executioner didn't push Ash into the sea, but this sentence scared Ash so much that he almost took three steps back and fell into the sea.
