Chapter 165 I Want to Play a Game with You
Jiang Shuzhou sat in a chair, a puppet beside him served him tea, and the butcher frog squatted at his feet like a little dog.
Before him were surveillance cameras in each room, showing the figures of Katniss and others.
"It's time to add new variables."
Katniss and Gale walked cautiously, feeling their way forward little by little, not daring to run.
"What kind of hellish place is this?"
"And what's the deal with that Navis?"
Why did he disappear?
Gail had a series of questions.
"Stop arguing, okay? I think the most important thing right now is to find other people."
"Others?"
It's clear that Gale only asks questions; he never thinks.
"That puppet—it's obvious he wasn't just talking to us, but has we really arrived at the actual game arena?"
"Moreover, who exactly is that undercover agent?"
"Neither you nor I are likely to be, as for Navis..."
After a pause, Katniss continued in an uncertain tone.
"I don't think so. No undercover agent would expose themselves at the beginning. Perhaps he triggered some mechanism and was teleported to another location?"
"Maybe, but I still think there's something wrong with him."
Gale was clearly not satisfied with this explanation.
A silence spread between them.
It was supposed to be a reunion of old friends, and they should have had plenty to talk about, but both Katniss and Gale found themselves speechless.
"roar!"
A sudden roar broke the awkward silence, and the atmosphere became incredibly tense.
Immediately afterwards, a monster with exposed muscles all over its body, resembling a hunting dog, charged towards them.
"run!"
With no other option, Katniss and Gale had to run for their lives in hopes of escaping the monster's pursuit.
However, how could they possibly match the speed of the hunting dogs?
"here!"
Just as Katniss was about to be caught, she heard a shout.
Then she saw a door open on the left not far away, and a woman waved to them.
It's obvious that they're being asked to come in.
What if it's a trap?
Katniss's mind raced for a moment, but seeing the hounds closing in on her, she had no choice.
If you don't want to get bitten to death, you have no choice but to take a gamble.
"Gale! Come inside!"
Katniss yelled, then adjusted her pace.
Just as the hounds were about to pounce on them, Katniss and Gale entered the house.
Bang!
The door was closed, and Katniss and the others successfully entered the house.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh."
They were panting heavily, sweating profusely, not so much from exhaustion, but from lingering fear.
If it had been any later, they would probably have lost their lives.
"Thank you."
Katniss thanked them.
"No need to thank me, we're all trapped here, helping each other is only right."
The woman said nonchalantly, as if it were all to be expected.
Katniss observed the room and found that it appeared to be a conference room with a total of fourteen seats, and a puppet in the very center.
Almost every seat was already occupied.
Apart from the puppets next to and opposite them.
Everyone's eyes were on the puppet, except for the woman from before; without exception.
"What's going on?"
Katniss asked, puzzled.
"This puppet...it moves!"
"If no one is watching it, it will start moving and then snap a person's neck."
"I almost fell for it before. Luckily, someone was talking to me, so he saw the puppet, otherwise I would have been finished!"
No wonder no one wants to sit next to or in front of the puppet. The closer you are, the higher the chance of being attacked, if someone looks away or something happens.
"Hurry up and get on!"
"A man said."
"If time runs out and no 13th person sits down, we're all going to die!"
"You two are the last two, hurry up!"
Katniss had no choice but to sit opposite the puppet.
Although it's a bit scary, at least sitting opposite the puppet allows you to directly stare at it, which gives you some control.
It's at least a bit easier than just watching from the sidelines.
"Very good, everyone, we meet again."
The eerie sound rang out again.
"As I said, there will be an undercover agent among you, but that's not the point. The point is to find him before you escape."
"I've never liked favoritism. You're too weak; how can this be acceptable?"
"Come on, everyone, take a look at the table in front of you."
Soon, the lights went out, and except for one bright spot that shone on the puppet, the rest of the place was as dark as ink.
It seemed that no light could penetrate the dense darkness.
Then the light came on.
On the table in front of everyone was a pistol and three magazines.
"Three magazines, 42 bullets, that's enough for you to kill each other."
"But don't worry, the bullets are for voting. Each person gets one vote. Once someone has more than half the votes, they will be eliminated."
"Bullets can attack people or monsters, but in any case, as long as that person doesn't have half the votes, nothing will happen except pain."
"Gentlemen, I'll teach you a good method. Everyone shoot at each other until everyone has six votes. That way, if someone is discovered to be an undercover agent, they'll die with just one shot."
"What, are you tempted?"
"Then let's put it into practice! Hehehehe."
Accompanied by eerie laughter, the strange sounds returned to silence.
"What should we do?"
"What should we do as he says?"
"This won't do! Each person getting shot six times, not to mention the pain, the most important thing is that we'll run out of bullets—those are meant to be used to fight the monster!"
"One less shot could mean death!"
"But the undercover agent only has one vote, and he can't kill us by shooting us."
"However, if someone does it his way, that shot from the undercover agent could decide our fate!"
"Are you an undercover agent?! Otherwise, why would you trust that person?!"
"I'm not!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"..."
The once relatively calm meeting room erupted into chaos as everyone began attacking each other.
"bump!"
A gunshot rang out; it was Katniss.
She blew the puppet's head off with a single shot.
"Bang bang".
Then four more shots were fired, severing the puppet's limbs.
"You guys keep going, what are you looking at me for? Keep arguing!"
Everyone fell silent.
"You believe whatever that voice says?"
"Besides, the undercover agent only has one vote; we can completely ignore him!"
"As long as we find the mole before we escape, we can vote to execute him!"
Katniss addressed the crowd.
wonderful.
Jiang Shuzhou, who was in the monitoring room, couldn't help but applaud.
I wonder what their expressions will be when they find out that there isn't actually an undercover agent among them. That must be quite interesting.
