Game of Death: Pretty Crazy

Chapter 4 Motivation

Nietzsche: "The more he wants to reach high places and bright places, the more violently his roots stretch into the earth, and the lower he goes, the more he enters into darkness, into the depths,—even into the evil in."

If his mother hadn't reported for a theatrical performance without telling him, Wei Zixu wouldn't know what it was like.

Standing in the spotlight, in the center of everyone's eyes, he hides in a fake persona, performing public-pleasing antics.He must be very talented, and he won the enduring applause of the audience just by virtue of his fabricated flesh and life.After the show, a lot of adults came up and praised him for a job well done and for the hard work he had put into it.Mother was also very proud. She held Wei Zixu's small face and said:

"You are the best, other children are far inferior to you."

Of course.Because they are too honest, they have told you the original self without reservation.So Wei Zixu discovered that playing someone else would receive far more compliments than playing himself.

It is very common for children to want to be praised by adults, right?

Nothing could be more ordinary.

The morning was uneventful.Everyone explored inside and outside the mansion, and occasionally greeted each other in a hurry, as if it was just a group of strangers who happened to live in a hotel during their travels.This kind of friendly and alienated atmosphere dissipated a lot of the tension in the early morning.Everyone went back to their rooms one after another to tidy up their things.

The mansion has three floors plus an attic. The attic is not locked and is used to store sundries, and everyone can enter and exit at will.The first to third floors are a circular structure, the corridor goes around a circle, and the hall in the middle is vacated. The north is a wooden ladder, and the red carpet is laid down on the ladder.The height of the entire three floors makes the hall look very empty. Standing on the ground floor of the first floor, you can see the wooden doors of all the rooms, as well as the largest round table hall at the end of the stairs, where they first woke up.

As a single-family building on this vast green land, the mansion is not too big, but it is more than enough to accommodate the thirteen of them.There are many rooms evenly arranged on each floor, the ones with names engraved on the handles are used as personal bedrooms, the unlocked ones are public rooms, and there are some dark rooms that cannot be opened.Each room is randomly distributed, Zhao Lun, Lin Shanzhi, Xiao Hanqing, Mo Wanxiang, Lu Yu and Han Xiaona live on the first floor, Liu Jing, Wei Zixu, Chang Huaijin, Li Zhen, Zhu Yu and Peng Min live on the first floor. On the second floor, Luo He lives alone on the third floor.It is worth mentioning that the identification system for residents on each floor is different. The first floor is for password identification, the second floor is for facial recognition, and the third floor is for retinal recognition.The identification system on the door has been refurbished to varying degrees, and I don't know what strange attempt the director is making again.

The whole interior of the mansion is a simplified Gothic Revival design style. The reliefs are not exaggerated. The extended part of the colonnade meets the dome. pleasing to the eye.The fireplace is all built with blue-gray bricks and stones, and two oil paintings must be hung on both sides, with gilt photo frames. The oil paintings are impressionist, with floating light and shadow.There is a display stand every few steps in the corridor, displaying porcelain or enamelware.Separated by a door, the decoration in each bedroom is very modern, and the price is to reduce the price.

However, the most conspicuous thing in the hall is the glass terrace hanging opposite the round table hall on the second floor.The upper and lower sides of the terrace are bounded with pure white granite, and a circle of Greek-style fat angels is carved on the top.The terrace is a hexagonal prism with no doors or windows.There are sixteen armchairs on the first floor, symmetrically facing the terrace.

Peng Min took a shower, changed into clean clothes and went downstairs.

I used to do a complete set in the gym, and my upper body was as wet as if it had been in the rain. Anyway, I have a good figure and I am not afraid of people looking at me.But the young man in the morning, obviously the first impression was the approachable type, why did he show an unreasonable interest in his chest, his eyes were straight, more thorough than a CT scan, it made him feel hairy, the first I showed my timidity once.

It's embarrassing to think about it.

He saw that the armchair in the corner of the hall was empty, and planned to sit in it for a rest, but turned around only to find someone in the armchair opposite.The man was lying on his side, with his head resting on the arm of the chair, and he was writing quickly with a notebook in his hand.It turned out to be the young man in the morning.

Peng Min had already walked in front of them, it seemed impolite to turn around and leave without saying anything, so he tentatively said, "Excuse me?"

The young man glanced at him and said, "Don't disturb, you can sit down." Peng Min sat down and saw the young man's pen writing line after line without stopping. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be a program code with numbers and English alternately, "Hey, What are you writing code for?"

The young man sighed: "This is a big project I just joined recently, and the deadline is half a month away. Who knows that this kind of thing will happen to me. I searched all the rooms and didn't see a computer, so I can only start It is written in the notebook, and it will be run after going out. I hope to catch up."

"Oh..." Peng Min sighed in his heart, it's really hard to eat with his brain, "I didn't expect your handwriting to be pretty."

"Pfft." The young man stopped writing and looked at him with a smile: "You actually think that a programmer's handwriting is beautiful, do you still want to say that the '#' and '&' I wrote have Wei and Jin legacy?"

Peng Min choked, and people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties didn't need to write code, which is incomparable.And the young man was probably just out of ridicule, and didn't force him to answer.At this time, he put the notebook on his stomach, put one hand on the back of his head and faced him, smiling with crooked brows and rolling eyes.He is obviously a man, but he has thickly colored eyebrows and lips, which are not as deliberate as those made by cosmetics, and are very docile and suitable.Bright face and black hair, tired and lazy like smoke, like an empty stage washed away by lead, can still drag people into scenes of joy and sorrow.

it's beautiful.

Peng Min quickly put an end to this thought, how could he use "beautiful" to describe a big man?When he introduced himself, this young man was so invisible that he couldn't remember his name so far, so he could only ask embarrassingly, "What's your name?"

The young man was about to answer. "Dang-dang-dang--" The heavy bell rang, it was an ancient carved clock deep in the corridor on the right side of the second floor.They both looked up.Dome window/a ray of sunlight coming in, amidst the floating dust.The sunlight is projected onto the pure white terrace, and the little angels seem to be awakened by the light, waving their wings and pointing to all living beings where the paradise is.The bell struck twelve.Peng Minze's eyes fell on his undulating profile.What kind of fate made him meet this man here and now.Until the end of the play, the hoarse and dispirited end, he still couldn't figure it out.

The young man said, "My name is Wei Zixu."

So Peng Min also said, "My name is—"

"Peng Minze." Wei Zixu smiled lightly, and could plant a few lotus flowers, "I remember."

"Hey, the coach and pretty boy over there, come over for dinner." Liu Jing came out of the kitchen and called to them.He has changed into a pink sweetheart sweater now, like a male star in a yogurt commercial.

Hearing Liu Jing's address to Wei Zixu, Peng Min thought at ease: So there is nothing wrong with his aesthetics.

Zhu Yu and Lin Shanzhi walked over arm in arm, both of them were over 170 in height, generous and charming, which made men feel quite seductive.When passing by Liujing, he touched Zhuyu's butt very naturally, and the latter yelled reproachfully: "Oh, where are you touching!"

He smiled and raised his hands: "I'm used to touching cars and BMWs, but when I see expensive things, I can't hold back my hands. I should hit them."

"Hey..." Wei Zixu sat up, turned his back to Liujing, put his left hand around his mouth to form a horn, and whispered, "He doesn't feel like a serious person?"

Peng Min was speechless. Are you a serious person who stared at the man's chest?

They also went to the kitchen.Wei Zixu walked behind Peng Minze.I just enjoyed the scenery of the isolated island in the morning, but I didn't expect that there are still behind-the-scenes scenery to enjoy.Wei Zixu stretched his entire back muscles and gluteus maximus, and felt a stage slowly rising in his heart, and the bald host sang on it and read out: "Start scoring—" Then the lights crackled and exploded in the audience, and the big screen finally Displays a shiny "100 points!"

Wei Zixu knew that the guests could no longer hold back.

The lunch was very sumptuous, with braised pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, Hang pepper beef tenderloin and other top dishes on the table.Chang Huaijin was wearing an apron and serving rice for everyone.Her hair was tied loosely, and her face was not pretty, but her relaxed and homely appearance made her look very comfortable.Mo Wanxiang was busy helping her with the dishes, throwing the used pots and pans into the dishwasher.It seems that after working on this lunch together, the two of them are in a much better mood.

"Come and taste it, my senior sister's handicraft, but it has made many male gods in the department never forget it!" Mo Wanxiang couldn't wait to show off as soon as everyone arrived.She wore a half-length ponytail, her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, she didn't wear makeup, her eyebrows were light, her eyes were lively, and she was full of student spirit.

"Sister! There's no such thing." Chang Huaijin hurriedly stopped her from talking, and sat aside with a blushing face.

With chopsticks in hand, Zhao Lun was the first to join in the applause: "Gao, this craftsmanship!" Everyone started to move, all admiring the meal.

After drinking and eating, Luo He wiped his mouth, looked around, and said: "I went back to the room to check, and all the communication tools were confiscated. The pad provided here cannot contact the outside world. Peng Min confirmed that there is no gap in the high-voltage power grid. And we don't know where the switch is. In this case, unless the director lets us go, we won't even be able to wait for rescue."

These words were like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing everyone's enthusiasm for chatting after dinner.

Chang Huaijin: "Didn't the director say to let us go after ten days?" Since everyone didn't like the director, they were dubious about this promise.

Liu Jing: "It's not just the communication tools, the Swiss Army Knife I carried with me is also missing. The money is not missing. And all the furniture here is welded to the floor. I wonder if you noticed, the wine bottles here are not glass Yes, it is tempered resin, which cannot be broken by brute force. The metal products are all smooth and curved, with hemming at the top. Except for the props in the hands of wolves, everything here is very safe—in other words, there is nothing that can defend itself.”

There was a moment of silence as everyone pondered whether the situation was good or bad.Peng Min frowned and said, "So our threat only comes from wolves. Everyone, I don't know which of you are wolves, but I sincerely beg you not to hurt others, and we all get through these ten days in solidarity, and then put this paragraph together." Forget about the horrible experience and go home happy."

"I don't think the point is that you beg." At this time, Lu Yu, who had been taciturn, spoke.His appearance and clothes are very ordinary, but his black and white eyes are impressive.His sclera was bluish white, the cleanest sclera that adults rarely have. "The key is motivation. If the wolves want to act, what is their motivation? I remember the director said before that the winner will be rewarded."

【Ah, ah, finally someone brought it up!I have endured for a long time without reminding you. 】

Director's voice sounded, it turned out that he had been there all along.This feeling of being watched made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

Luo He: "You did. Now, can you tell me what the reward is?"

[Rewards vary from person to person.As long as you win the game, I promise to deliver what you most want.That is definitely something that cannot be obtained through normal channels, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wish.Killing irrelevant people and fulfilling unattainable wishes is a good deal, right? 】

"Oh?" Luo He raised the corner of his mouth, "How do you know what we want most?"

[Chi Chi Chi, in the next time, you will gradually understand how much I understand you. 】

Noise interruption.Everyone was trapped in their own thoughts, in a trance, silent.

Is there something you risked your life to get?
