Survivorship Bias

Chapter 57: Judas reward

Views:

A few seconds before the incident, An Wujiu was almost unconscious.

It wasn't until I heard the sound of water drops and saw the blood falling on the floor that the extreme pain spread to my whole body, like a piercing scream that was supposed to be short but actually spread to this day.

The chip value above his head changed from 12,000 to 10,000.

Just when An Wujiu lost part of his own body, celebratory music came from the hall, and on the big screen, the rankings of several members of Zhou Yijue's group jumped up to 10,000 more, and Zhou Yijue himself won 2,000 chips .

In this way, the purple team surpassed the red team and became the new team number one.

"Brother Wujiu! Brother Wujiu..."

There was a buzzing in his head, An Wujiu could hear Wu You and the others' voices, but they seemed to be covered with a layer of frosted glass, indistinct.

He held his bleeding shoulder, and the pain intensified under his strength.

Fujido Sakura was also flustered seeing this scene, but suddenly, she discovered a strange thing.

The skeleton exposed from An Wujiu's shoulder section is not a human skeleton.

Since the system directly recovers the chipper's body, the cross-section is very smooth and clean, even the fastest and fastest knife can't achieve such an effect.

A small section exposed from the flesh and blood is silver-gray with a metallic luster.

Wu You reacted quickly, and spent a lot of money to buy a medical kit. First, he handed An Wujiu the painkiller, let him swallow it in a hurry, and then sprinkled the medicine powder on An Wujiu's wound.

The wound was too big, Wu You's hands trembled for no reason, a lot of medicine powder was sprinkled, and sweat oozes from his forehead.

Nan Shan at the side saw it and wanted to reach out to help him, but she didn't expect Shen Ti to come back.

Nan Shan had never seen such an expression on Shen Ti's face.

For a long time, even in the most dangerous moments, this person who likes to make jokes and relax at any time as if he has no weaknesses will show such a frightened expression.

"I come."

He pressed An Wujiu's injured shoulder with one hand, took the medical bag in Wu You's hand with the other hand, found the tourniquet, and put the tourniquet around An Wujiu's neck, trying to stop the bleeding from the cut.

An Wujiu felt a little weak, the rapid flow of blood and the pain of the broken arm made him almost unable to concentrate, he glanced at Shen Tie, and saw that his brows were wrinkled, and the hands that bandaged him were shaking.

This was the first time he saw Shen Ti so nervous.

Inexplicably, An Wujiu felt a stabbing pain in his heart, more violent than losing an arm.

He didn't want Shen Ti to worry, for fear that he would worry.

"I'm fine..." He raised his bloody hand and touched Shen Ti's wrist, the blood also remained on his wrist skin and leather glove, "It's okay."

"How could it be okay!"

Shen Ti's emotions were a little out of control, and he regretted it a bit after he finished speaking, he shouldn't have said so loudly, "...it's really dangerous, An Wujiu, as I said, don't use it as a bargaining chip."

When An Wujiu made such a decision, he expected such a thing to happen, so it was not surprising.

He tried his best to hold Shen Ti's wrist tightly, letting him know that he was really fine and not afraid.

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Zhong Yirou came over temporarily from some table and bandaged it with a tourniquet. The movement was very skillful, "Now we must stop the bleeding quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if the blood loss leads to shock."

"How did you come here?" Wu You asked.

"I heard someone talking about that the red team who had no casualties has been injured." Seeing the blood gushing out from the section, Zhong Yirou's heart was beating like a drum, fearing that the blood would not stop, "I didn't expect to wait What I came to see was innocent."

"Who lost?" Fujido Sakura asked Guan Qiao, "How many people are betting now?"

Shen Ti turned his head and saw that Noah was still on the table. She hadn't finished the round just now, so it couldn't be her.

"Erci is also there, but she didn't lose. I'm right next to her. Her round is not over yet."

Fujido Sakura understood, "Then there is only one person."

Nanshan raised a possibility, "Could it be that I accidentally lost?"

"Not too possible."

Such denials and speculations would come from anyone in the past, except An Wugui.

However, at this moment, An Wujiu's face was pale, but he was very determined.

"It won't be an accident."

"He is a timid person. If he really doesn't have confidence in a gamble, he won't bet 2,000 chips in one go. This number is more than twice his own chip value..."

Coincidentally, at this time, Shen Ti, who had been searching among the crowd, saw Chen Yu's back. He was like a fish that had escaped from the school of fish, and he passed through the crowd in the opposite direction. At this moment, he was hurriedly walking towards the other door of the hall. .

His condition was indeed wrong.

He turned his head and said to An Wujiu in an almost commanding tone: "Turn off your chip authority."

After speaking, he disappeared.

An Wujiu's vision began to blur, and the side effects of blood loss appeared one after another, making him almost unable to stand, so he could only sit down on the spot.

"This method of hemostasis is too slow. We have to try to open the venous access." Zhong Yirou tried to buy a tool for blood transfusion in the game store, but he still couldn't find it in the end.

"It's okay." An Wujiu said, "I don't feel so much pain now... My physical strength is not the same as that of ordinary people, I should recover after a while."

Zhong Yirou thought of his previous wrist injury, indeed, An Wujiu was much faster than ordinary people in terms of pain tolerance and recovery ability.

Wu You couldn't accept it, "But this time you have a whole arm, the wrist injury can't compare with this!"

Nan Shan looked very uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do. She turned her head to look at Shen Ti, but found that he was gone.

The blood soon soaked through the gauze and tourniquet, and there was still no sign of stopping the bleeding.

"As long as I can last till the end," An Wujiu said expressionlessly, "it doesn't matter."

He raised his eyes, and there were two hours and twenty-three seconds remaining in the countdown suspended in the air.

An Wujiu looked at Zhong Yirou, "Will I die within two hours?"

Zhong Yirou knew that he couldn't let it go like this, "I can only do my best, and I have to see how your condition is after the bleeding is stopped. No fault, heavy bleeding will really kill people."

Of course An Wujiu knew.

He felt an eerie familiarity, as if he had experienced this kind of thing countless times.

"It doesn't matter, even if you die..."

He stared at the big screen with pale lips, "As long as we get the first place, I can be resurrected."

Chen Yu walked all the way alone, feeling uneasy in his heart. The moment he lost the bet, he saw An Wujiu's arm disappearing out of thin air in the distance, and blood almost gushed out. He will never forget that scene in his whole life.

He walked down the dim corridor, his mind full of what the guy from the purple team had said before.

[Even if the whole group can win, go out together, can you get the most points? You must be short of money to come here to fight your life, don't you? ]

[Think about the plan we gave you, you only need to lose once, use An Wujiu as a bargaining chip, you don't need to kill him, just mutilate him, so that he can't participate in the next game, how much do you bet chips, we will give you half of the equal amount as a reward for your cooperation. ]

[Think about it, is he really as kind and benevolent as he acts out? If you don't believe it, you can see if he will share the chips he won with you after he returns from the underground exchange area. If not, prove that he is a hypocrite! He can obviously give it to you. After your chips increase, even if you really lose and lose a part of your body, you will not die so easily. But with your current chips, you only need one game, and you will die without burial. place! ]

[Look, he will definitely not give it to you, we have already tried it, the chips can be converted to other people with points, even if An Wujiu knew about it, he would not tell you. You just need to try it at the gaming table to see if the value of the chips on top of your head has changed after he comes back. ]

[You only have 900, do you know what 900 is? If we are harming you, you just need to find someone to use you as a bargaining chip and deliberately lose to us, and you will die. ]

[Try it, just try two thousand, break his arm at most, if you can't die, you can't lose anything. After the completion, go directly to the exchange area on the first floor, and we will give you 1,000 on the spot. ]

These words appeared repeatedly and staggered, speaking faster and more complicated, just like his footsteps. Chen Yu kept looking behind him, afraid that An Wujiu or other people in the same group would appear behind him.

He knows that once this road is gone, there is no turning back.

But for his children, he had to do this!

Suddenly, he seemed to have stepped on something, slipped and fell directly on a corpse. Chen Yu hurriedly got up, his body was covered with the blood of the corpse.

This corpse is the same as An Wujiu, with no arms, two arms, like a damaged human body mold, with a pair of slack eyes open.

Chen Yu's legs were so frightened, he grabbed the handrail of the stairs to support himself, and continued to go down with a limp step, and finally left the dark stairs. Ignoring what was behind him, he went straight to the exchange area, and the door moved, as if it was about to open.

But the next second, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness instantly.

When he woke up again, Chen Yu was in a daze, and it was very difficult to open his eyes. He only felt a shadow in front of him, thin and dark, like a ghost. His vision gradually changed from blurred to clear, and he finally saw clearly.

The person standing in front of him was Shen Ti.

The corner of Shen Ti's mouth curled into a smile, holding a gun in his hand.

"Why do you see me as if you saw a ghost?" His finger was hooked in the trigger guard, and he turned the gun in his hand around, looking very careless, but Chen Yu knew in his heart that he He had already heard other people's comments in the casino, and he already knew that the man in front of him had a close relationship with An Wujiu.

"You..." Chen Yu tried to change the subject, "Why are you tying me up, I... I was cheated just now, I was cheated! Really, I didn't expect to lose, I really didn't expect!"

Shen Ti sneered, "Did I ask you? Is it just so self-inflicted?"

He took a step closer, and he held the rotating gun backhand, and the muzzle directly hit Chen Yu's chest, "You better tell me the truth, my hands are not stable at all, and my fingers tremble a lot. I don’t want to hear what happened. Accidentally, the trigger was pulled.”

Chen Yu's legs were weak, he begged for mercy, but he still refused to admit it, "I, I really don't know, I don't know what you want me to say, I really didn't mean it..."

"Really?" Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, and moved the gun away.

Just when Chen Yu thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, a gunshot fired, and the bullet penetrated his knee!

Amidst the screams, Shen Ti smiled gracefully, "Look, I said it."

His voice was soft and low, "My hands are very unstable."

Just as he raised his hand and made an aiming gesture, Chen Yu begged for mercy in pain, "I said... I said, I, I deliberately used him as a bargaining chip and deliberately lost..."

The smile on Shen Ti's face cooled down, "It's Zhou Yijue?"

Chen Yu didn't expect to be spotted by Shen Ti all of a sudden, so he had to admit, "It's...it's him, he sent someone to find me..."

He told Shen Ti everything, including the chip remuneration that the yellow hair of the purple team said.

"Oh?" Shen Ti seemed to have heard something interesting, with a smile on his face, but it made Chen Yu feel even more creepy, "How can I not get the reward that I earned after spending so much time betraying my teammates? "

He raised his foot and kicked Chen Yu's intact knee, "Fortunately, he only kicked one leg, so he can still pretend to walk over."

Shen Ti untied the rope on him, and pulled him away from the pillar, "Go to the exchange area now, and get back the chips they promised you."

"Don't worry, I will accompany you."
