Survivorship Bias

Chapter 79: Knowingly committing crimes

Views:

The efficiency of the money-changing machine is too slow for a product of this century.

Standing in front of the machine, a member of the yellow team secretly complained.

Maguire, the captain of their yellow team, accepted Zhou Yijue's proposal and was willing to give him another chance to cooperate with him. After all, before Zhou Yijue explained the real rules of the game to him, he did not get out of the misunderstanding.

Zhou Yijue asked him to lead all members of the yellow team to the exchange area, and in order to avoid accidents, both teams exchanged their chips in advance.

Maguire agreed, but on the condition that the people of the yellow team exchange first.

Zhou Yijue had few people, so if he wanted to carry it, he needed more people, so he had to agree.

So the two teams were trapped in the exchange room on the first floor, and fell into a long wait. Maguire was naturally the first, and then the yellow team went down one by one, waiting for the gears of this huge gold-pushing machine to belong to Their gold coins were pushed down little by little.

The members of the yellow team exchanged all the points and kept them separately. A gold coin is worth 500 chips, and some people have worked so hard that they only have one or two.

"Come on." Maguire stepped aside and asked Zhou Yijue to exchange.

While waiting for his gold coins to be exchanged, Zhou Yijue talked to everyone about his next sticking plan. Under the operation of the machine, many gold coins fell from the pipe, which made Maguire a little jealous.

This kid is now the second highest-stakes player in the audience. Seeing that his points are getting more and more, Maguire can't help feeling uncomfortable.

These points may be the reward points for the end of the game...

Zhou Yijue collected all the point coins, and suddenly heard a movement, turned his head, and saw the person who had arranged to keep an eye on An Wujiu hurried back, shouting at the door of the exchange room: "People are coming, they are coming down!"

Several other members of the purple team suddenly became nervous, "What should we do? We haven't exchanged it yet!"

Zhou Yijue frowned, and then let go, "According to the plan first, and then change."

"But… "

"No but." Zhou Yijue decisively blocked the thoughts of the team members, "I said, catch An Wujiu first."

Under Zhou Yijue's arrangement, the two teams purchased the necessary equipment and set up a good game. Zhou Yijue exchanged for a gun himself. When he came, he saw bloodstains that had not been cleaned up on the ground, and guessed that Shen Ti must have used a gun.

That being the case, then treat the person in the same way as the person.

An Wujiu really did what he thought, and planned to exchange the points in his hands when the exchange room was empty, because he must have understood the purpose of the game.

Every smart person likes to think he's smart.

No one is immune.

Especially smart people like An Wujiu who are conceited and kind are often defeated by superfluous kindness.

In a quagmire like the altar, why bother to burden yourself more and be the savior of the world.

According to Zhou Yijue's plan, they sneaked up on An Wujiu after he exchanged points, then separated the two and hung them on the ceiling to ensure that they could not touch.

After doing all this, Maguire almost wanted to celebrate their victory in advance.

A thick and long rope was tied around An Wujiu's back and waist, hanging from the ceiling, shaking slightly.

Zhou Yijue looked up at him, as if watching a dead butterfly tied to the window lattice, beautiful, but powerless.

Everyone was curious about An Wujiu, but Zhou Yijue was not.

He seemed to have seen through this person at this moment and lost interest.

"It's solved for him, everyone else is just a small problem." Maguire sneered, and he felt a little pity in his heart, but it's a pity that An Wujiu had such a beautiful face, but he was going to be hanged here, even he The points exchanged for the chips should also be owned by them, and I am afraid that there will only be a dead end in the end.

It's rare to meet such a good skin at the altar, and the other party will die before he can try it.

The Jinshan machine was still making the sound of operation. One gold coin appeared from the round hole at the top one after the other. Dingling fell down, and the falling route was changed by obstacles one by one, zigzag downward.

An Wujiu was awakened by this sound.

The back of his neck hurts, and he also knows that the other party knocked him unconscious by sneak attacking the back of his neck. The right shoulder was strangled by the rope, the wound that had managed to stop the bleeding was squeezed again, the severe pain caused An Wujiu to wake up from the coma very quickly.

So far it's expected.

An Wujiu tried to move his legs, but it was useless. Zhou Yijue and Maguire obviously just wanted to make him powerless to watch and let him do nothing, so they tied him with a rope, even the only remaining hand. tied behind.

The blindfolded An Wujiu was in the darkness, so his hearing became extremely sensitive.

He could hear their conversation, the taunts of calling himself a "caught fish," and the sound of gold coins falling.

The sound of the gold coins was so close, at least it meant that he was hanging in the exchange room at the moment and did not leave. The sound of the machine was behind him.

An Wujiu recalled the scene he saw when he entered this exchange room for the first time. Apart from the huge Jinshan machine, the decoration of this room was also very different. of this large machine.

So now he is being hung by them under the steel bars in front of the exchange machine.

When choosing to exchange, An Wujiu deliberately chose a number as large as possible to prolong the exchange time. If he guessed correctly, Zhou Yijue and Maguire should have not taken his point coins at this time, otherwise, they would There must have been a dispute over the division of spoils.

What about Shen Ti

There was no wind in the room, and there were many people and noises. An Wujiu thought of Shen Ti, and the uneasiness in his heart continued to magnify and spread until...

Until he heard the sound of earrings colliding.

Shen Ti is near him!

He must have been hung up by these people too, but it is not known whether he has regained consciousness.

An Wujiu felt a little comfort in his heart, at least now Shen Ti is still by his side.

In the dark field of vision, the red coral earrings are like a spark, concretizing the blurred distance into a point that is not near or far, and the blindfolded An Wujiu seems to be able to see that point.

That was Shen Ti's position.

"This thing is too fucking slow." Maguire couldn't help kicking the exchange machine, and the machine made a rumbling sound, "How much did you exchange?"

But just after he kicked, suddenly, the whole room went dark.

"How is this going?"

"Why is it dark? Is there a power outage?"

"Is something wrong?"

Maguire felt a little uneasy, did he really kick it like this

Zhou Yijue's full attention was on An Wujiu and Shen Ti at the moment, and he guessed that it was the trick they used to escape.

However, the darkness did not last long. Soon, the lights came back on, and the exchange machine once again returned to its previous golden glow.

Zhou Yijue stared at the two, squinting slightly, but they did not flee.

At this moment, An Wujiu heard an annoyed voice.

"It's noisy."

Maguire was stunned for a moment, then looked up, it was Shen Ti who said it.

He was also blindfolded and hung in the air, but he seemed to have come to his senses, and he let out a long sigh.

"It's really hard for you to raise me so high. My head is stronger than the ladder you use."

Being ridiculed by him, everyone in the yellow and purple teams was also a little upset and talked aloud. It was just such a sound that convinced An Wujiu and Shen Ti that they should have gathered all the people in the team.

It is to monopolize the exchange area.

"What are you proud of?"

Maguire sneered, "It won't be long before you know what it's like to be busy for nothing!"

"So that's how it is," Shen Ti smiled, "You guys are really cunning. You knocked us out while we were exchanging chips, and hung them all up so that we couldn't get in touch. We could only let the chips be exchanged for point coins. Take it away from you again."

"is that so?"

Shen Ti revealed the whole process, Zhou Yijue was not surprised either.

"So what?" Maguire smiled, "Regret? You have to wait for ten minutes just for one exchange. I'm afraid you have exchanged all the chips of the two of you. Are you afraid that you will go bankrupt all at once? "

He knew that Shen Ti couldn't do anything to them now.

Even the gun on his body has been taken away by them.

Shen Ti dangled from above, "Of course I'm afraid, but I just don't understand, why didn't you just kill us?"

The people below were silent for a moment, and after a while, An Wujiu heard Zhou Yijue's voice.

"We don't want the game to end in such a boring way."

"Excuse." Shen Ti quickly interrupted Zhou Yijue, and smiled, "Zhou Yijue, Zhou Yijue, you are such a profitable guy, you only want to save An Wujiu's life because you know he has an easter egg card on him. That's all."

Zhou Yijue froze when he heard this sentence.

Easter egg card

Maguire immediately asked back: "What did you say?!" He turned his head suddenly, holding back the anger of being deceived and asked, "You know he has an Easter egg card, so you don't kill him?"

"I don't know at all." Zhou Yijue retorted, but no matter how he refuted at this moment, it was already in vain. Maguire didn't believe him in the first place.

Zhou Yijue's heart was turbulent, but he acted very calmly, "You don't need to waste your time playing tricks here."

He somehow had a bad intuition, feeling that Shen Ti was delaying time, but he couldn't be sure.

If there is, and if the rare resurrection card can be drawn, his greatest wish of entering the altar may be fulfilled.

He just wants to resurrect one person.

But Zhou Yijue still couldn't believe the scheming two people in front of him.

"Whether An Wujiu has an easter egg card or not is not important to me."

"Yeah?"

An Wujiu smiled, he took the scene Shen Ti handed him, and asked, "If my easter egg card has a chance to draw a rare item card, do you think it's not important?"

After speaking, he summoned Shengyin with his voice and asked to show the easter egg card he was holding.

An Wujiu did not expect that Shen Ti would try his best to save his life.

He obviously didn't need to accompany him for a walk, and he didn't need to be in danger for him, but at this moment, all he could think of was to find a reason for himself to get out of the crisis.

In the next second, a virtual easter egg card projection appeared in front of An Wujiu, three of which were neatly suspended in the air.

But no one has the right to dispose of these three cards except him.

Originally, there was no reason not to kill An Wujiu, but now there really is.

Maguire snorted coldly, "Can't we grab these three cards directly?"

Shen Ti smiled, "Snatch it? This is a card given by the system. If the holder dies, the card will be invalidated. How do you snatch it?"

"And..." He swayed again, as if watching the fun is not a big deal, "You? How do you divide the three cards?"

With a clatter, a large number of point coins were pushed down, and new point coins appeared from the round hole at the top.

An Wujiu thought in his mind, this is probably the last batch of point coins.

His only remaining left hand was tied behind his back, but his arm would be broken in defeat, and his arm would be broken in success.

There is only one arm left, which cannot be tied as firmly as a person with both arms.

Enduring the severe pain, An Wujiu tried to move his bound arm, tried to reach the knot they made with his fingers, the rope rubbed against the wound of his severed arm, the pain became more and more clear, like a blunt knife slowly sharpening Flesh.

Shen Ti's words widened the rift between the two below, but Zhou Yijue was sober, and said to Maguire: "He is disputing, if you want, Mr. Efron, I can give you two, I will give you two." Just keep one."

"Hello."

Shen Ti's tone was full of teasing, "When you discuss other people's belongings, show a little respect."

"Did I say I would give it to you?"

Zhou Yijue chuckled, "I'm afraid Mr. Shen can't make the decision."

"Yeah!" Maguire sneered, "I really think I'm An Wujiu's concubine, and I can say anything? A guy like you has slept with a lot of people, so he must have no feelings for you either. You are all of the same kind, mutual benefit, don't make it so hypocritical."

Knowing that he was malicious, Shen Ti still couldn't help getting angry.

It started when he was sure that An Wujiu had no intention of treating him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Maguire continued, "Why, was it right?" He deliberately called An Wujiu's name, "Hey, An Wujiu, I think you like him more, but this The boy saw in his heart that he didn't have you, otherwise how could he have all the things about your easter egg card... "

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside.

As if... many people came down the stairs, the overlapping footsteps were unusually loud.

Here they come.

Hearing the expected voice, all the anxiety in An Wujiu's heart disappeared, as if he had taken a reassurance, he vigorously shook his merged legs back and forth, trying to swing himself up.

once.

twice.

"Look what's going on outside!"

"Is everyone here?"

Three times, An Wujiu finally swayed his whole body, like a pendulum, swinging from front to back, the knot moved on the steel bar, moving backward from the initial position.

Should be enough.

An Wujiu tried his best to swing backwards, his feet touched the glass cabinet of the exchange machine in time, kicked hard, borrowed force suddenly, and his whole body swayed forward!

In an instant, the rope around his shoulders fell from the severed arm and loosened. An Wujiu quickly broke free from the restrained left arm, and the moment he bumped into Shen Ti, he wrapped his left hand around his shoulder.

In the precarious state, An Wujiu embraced Shen Ti with his remaining arms, and gave him an extremely incomplete hug.

He knew that such a touch would be enough.

"I regret it." An Wujiu didn't know whether he said this sentence to the exchange machine or to himself.

He clearly knew that with just one touch, he could give up all the previous promises.

The gold coins have been withdrawn, and the machine has been restarted.

That's enough.

The turbulent crowd outside poured into the corridor uncontrollably and broke into the exchange room.

"No fault."

Shen Ti tried to hug back, but his hands were tightly bound.

"Shen Ti, the favor you owe me..."

"I can cash in now, can't I?"

Blindfolded An Wujiu lowered his head, kissed Shen Zi's face, forehead, eyelashes, nose bridge in the turbulent darkness, he groped along the mistakes, like a child learning how to love, finally stumbled and found a way out.

Finally kissed him.
