Global Collapse

Chapter 820 Little Bengbeng Finds Louis
“Let’s forfeit! I’m not like that 1868. If you forfeit, I will definitely forfeit too, really!” At this moment, on the second level from the top of the pyramid, one contestant was gesturing wildly to another contestant.

It is 1003 talking to 1766.

The two of them were in the same group, and they were the second group to appear.

Based on the previous individual rankings, the person ranked higher in the group will be the adjudicator.

Since 1766 is before 1003, 1766 is the arbitrator in this group and must first designate the activities for 1003.

After witnessing the horrific scene on the roller coaster, 1003 dared not attempt any more rides and immediately sought out the adjudicator to discuss abstaining together.

But 1766 was also frightened by the horrific scene on the roller coaster. The previous abstention was still a lesson to be learned, so how could he dare to repeat the old path of the previous arbitrator?

His face was ashen, and he wouldn't agree no matter how much 1003 begged.

The arbitrator is actually the safest; as long as they abstain and don't hand over the right to choose a project to someone else, they will always be in an invincible position.

Of course, it is possible for the executor to successfully pass the project selected by the adjudicator, but the possibility is very, very small.

Thinking about 1766, he turned his gaze to the roller coaster in the distance. The tattered human figures on it made him even more determined to ignore the people next to him who were pleading with him to give up.

"Oh dear, it seems the trust between everyone has collapsed. The previous group was so harmonious and friendly, but they decided to forfeit together..." Teacher Killer said in a malicious tone, "Now, let's invite our second group—1766 and 1003—to the stage."

"Please abstain, I beg you." Until they reached the top of the pyramid, 1003 was still pleading with 1766, but 1766 remained unmoved.

When the contestants are divided into two identities, an insurmountable gap emerges between them.

The adjudicator is high and mighty, while the enforcer is utterly humble.

As Mr. Green watched the second group reach the top of the pyramid, he worried about his own future: "According to these advancement rules, there should be enough people to advance before it's our turn to play. I wonder what will happen to those of us who didn't get to play after that."

He worried that once enough people advanced, those who didn't get to compete would be sent to the amusement park rides to entertain the upper class.

007 in the audience was also worried about this.

If Gu Mian and Mr. Green were in the earlier groups, they could have both forfeited and advanced together.

Of course, she wasn't worried that Gu Mian and Mr. Green would repeat the mistakes of the first group. Mr. Green practically wanted to be attached to Gu Mian right now; he still needed Gu Mian to get him out of this place. If Gu Mian died now, Mr. Green would definitely cry even more sadly than Fatty.

Gu Mian was even less likely to choose a project for Mr. Green. If he wanted Mr. Green dead, he could just pull out a saw and saw off his neck. There was no need to go to such lengths.

Unfortunately, their group was last in line, and they had to wait until everyone else had finished before it was their turn.

However, according to the advancement rules, the top ten have already been decided within the top ten groups.

“If things go normally, Gu Mian has absolutely no chance of advancing to the next stage. If he is eliminated before even taking the stage, can he still stay here?” Because the upper-class person next to him was acting strangely, 007 lowered his voice when speaking to Chu Changge, not wanting to attract the attention of the person next to him.

“We don’t know where Louis is right now.” Chu Changge looked at the pyramid-shaped stage in front of him. “If Louis were here, Gu Mian could easily activate the key and take us away.”

They were sitting in the front row of the audience, very close to Gu Mian, and the area covered by key number 108 was more than enough to cover them.

“If we were on the scene, that would be the only place to hide someone.” 007 also looked at the pyramid stage.

There seems to be a lot of space under the stage, so it's possible that Louis could rise directly from there.

"So, to determine whether Louis is inside or not, the host definitely knows." 007 looked at Killer Teacher, who was hosting the program on stage with an excited expression.

"With 1766th place ranked first, you are the arbitrator in this group. So, what event will you choose for your dear teammate next? Or... a friendly forfeit?"

When he said the word "abstention," Teacher Killer glanced maliciously at 1868 in the audience.

1868 truly brought a dramatic turn to the show, but unfortunately, there won't be another 1868. The judges are now on guard and won't abstain again, putting themselves in danger.

Under 1003's pleading gaze, 1766 made his choice. "Ferris wheel, I choose the one that's submerged in water." He didn't dare look at the person opposite him when he made his choice, only turning his head to look at the nine-square grid next to the Killing Teacher. In fact, he didn't recognize the words on it, he just picked a project that could be fatal, but seemed relatively mild.

The lower half of the Ferris wheel is submerged in water and rotates extremely slowly. Once one of the cabins sinks into the water, it takes more than ten minutes for it to rise from the other end.

This means that the person inside will not be able to breathe for at least ten minutes, which will definitely lead to death.

But at least it's gentler than a roller coaster, he thought to himself.

Upon hearing 1766's choice, 1003's eyes dimmed completely.

Like the previous person, he didn't want to leave, so the staff used the same trick again, putting a noose around his neck and pulling him away.

1003 is smarter than the last person who was taken away.

He knew that resistance was futile, so he might as well save his energy for the Ferris wheel.

You can take in more air as you sink... Once you sink, the water won't rush in so quickly, and there's still a little space to breathe when you first sink...

He stopped struggling when the noose was put around his neck. He tried to calm himself down and obediently followed the staff downstairs, constantly encouraging himself.

Seeing that he wasn't too flustered, the teacher was somewhat surprised; this calm expression wasn't what the audience wanted to see.

But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He must be delusional right now, thinking he can survive on that Ferris wheel. I wonder how interesting his expression will be when death comes.

The teacher felt it was a pity that he wouldn't be able to see 1003's struggle when he died. If someone dies underwater, no matter how much they struggle, the audience above won't be able to see it.

Follow cameras cannot be used for filming underwater, as they will malfunction if water gets inside.

"It's a pity, a pity. Although this Ferris wheel is very creative, the audience can't see what's underwater. Maybe we can modify it in the future and add a waterproof glass cover to each cabin so that a camera can go in and film it. Or we could simply build an underwater exhibition hall so that the audience can watch it through the glass."

Thinking of killing the teacher, he nodded in satisfaction.

1766, standing beside him, felt uneasy. He watched 1003 calmly walking towards the Ferris wheel with the staff, and a sense of worry crept into his heart.

However, I am not worried about the safety of my dear companions.

Why does he look so calm? Does he have a way of surviving in the water for ten minutes? This water-filled Ferris wheel seems to be the easiest to get through of all the rides. What if the room he chose is too well sealed and the water can't get in?
1766 became increasingly frustrated. He shouldn't have chosen such a mild option because of his guilt; he should have chosen something that would surely kill him! The roller coaster the previous person rode was much better; it was clearly a death sentence.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the killing teacher, hesitating and wanting to take back his choice. He wanted to choose an easier project for 1003 to die, but he didn't dare to say anything to change his mind. When facing the superior, he didn't even have the courage to speak up.

At this point, 1003 had already been brought to the Ferris wheel's boarding gate.

The boarding gate is built on the shore of the artificial lake, which is higher than the lake water.

Normally, once you get on a Ferris wheel, the cabins go upwards, but here the Ferris wheel's boarding gates are built in the direction of going downwards.

Because the audience doesn't have much patience to watch the lower class go through half a circle on the Ferris wheel before getting into the water; it's better if people sink into the water as soon as they enter the cabin.

"Choose your cabin, see which one you want to sit in." The staff member holding the rope stood impatiently to the side, urging 1003 to choose quickly.

Li San was also nearby. He looked down at the Ferris wheels that were rotating downwards one by one. After boarding the cabin, you would sink down with it, and in less than ten seconds you would sink into the lake below.

The water looked bottomless, like the gaping mouth of a man-eating beast. He panicked and took two steps back, wanting to get as far away from the water as possible.

1003 forced himself to calm down and carefully looked at the hatches of each cabin at the boarding gate, trying to find a well-sealed cabin that could preferably keep out the water.

But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these cabins all had windows covered with wire mesh. Once the ship sank, water would seep into the cabins through the mesh and into his mouth and nose.

"Hurry up, stop wasting time by dawdling." The staff member next to him was already very impatient.

Haha, Gugu is here again, Gugu is gone again, Gugu comes every day!
