Translator: 549690339
The man with the Golden crying face mask was obviously not easy to deal with.
He had already picked up some clues from the host’s words, so he used the prerequisite of “the current us” when asking the question.
In fact, many people had not realized it yet … There was also a prerequisite in the host’s words, which was “In other words, before you become his “thing,” he would still treat you as a human. As for ‘people’, he would naturally keep his promise.
However, once you choose to accept the host’s “protection”, or …”Enslavement”, then you have to be prepared for the next step.
The so-called “losing all the rights of being a person” was not just a saying.
!!It’s already good enough for you to go kill people …
Not only could he “make” you do anything, but if you don’t do it, he could also “do” anything to you.
No one would save you, just like no one would save something that belonged to someone else.
“Is there any meaning in asking about killing people? You lack imagination. ” Two seconds later, Feng bujue spoke again. He yelled at the host on the second floor,”I just want to ask … If you are willing, can you turn us into human centipedes? Or make us film a hardcore movie with other species, or kill us and then sell our organs?”
Before he could finish his sentence, the crowd in the venue was already in an uproar.
Even though Feng bujue’s tone was relaxed when he said that, he managed to cause a small panic.
“Ha …” The host laughed again. In just a few minutes of brief contact, he had a strong feeling that the man wearing the crow mask was a similar person to himself, a lunatic.
“Yes, I am.” A few seconds later, the host used a calm tone and enunciated each word clearly to answer brother Jue’s question.
With this, the crowd below completely exploded, and the whispers turned into a clamor.
“It’s my freedom to use these ‘things’ however I want. ” However, the organizer immediately said,”but … I can guarantee that the examples this gentleman mentioned … Have never happened before.” He paused for a moment.”In fact, I didn’t ask anyone who failed to kill anyone in this game.”
The host spread his hands and said in a calm tone,””If I want someone to die, I’ll hire a professional to deal with it. I have no reason to find someone who has no experience or relevant skills to do this kind of thing.” As he spoke, he slowly turned his face and made a gesture of looking around the audience. He continued,”everyone … Has something they are good at. Without a doubt, all of you here have outstanding talents in a certain field, and what I want is none other than your ‘talents’.”
He was lying.
Not everyone could see it clearly, but there were some people who could see it …
Feng bujue understood it very well. The host’s words were half-truth, and the main intention … Was to pacify and fool this group of people, in Case No one would choose to accept his ‘protection’ later.
“Of course, I won’t be too polite.” The host was a person who was well aware of the changes in people’s hearts and had a strong ability to speak. After some comforting words, he continued with a rather cold content,”if you think that you can get a salary and leave after receiving my ‘protection’… Then you’re thinking too much. What’s waiting for you … Will only be dark work and a basic guarantee of survival. Until you ‘pay off what you owe me’, there will be no way to escape. ”
“What I owe you …” At this time, the short and fat man in the Beijing Opera mask asked again,”… Do you mean the money you used when you were under your protection?”
“Hehe … This gentleman understands so quickly.” The organizer smiled and replied,”in this world, more than 90% of things can be solved with money. So … Be it debt or crime, no matter what you do outside, as long as you are willing to accept my ‘protection’, I can solve it for you with money. From then on, all of your debts will be transferred to me. ” At this point, he began to guide her further,”and as a creditor … I’m also reasonable. After a few years, if you have successfully paid off your debt to me, you can regain your freedom … Of course, the exact number of years depends on the amount of debt you owe and the efficiency of your ‘labor value’.”
“Hmph … Is this equivalent to undergoing reform through labor here?” “Hmph!” Another man in a white opera mask snorted in the crowd.
“Hmph … Reform through labor?” The organizer also responded with a disdainful snort.”Can the reform get you out of your current predicament?” He asked,”I’ve said before that what I want is your talent. I will let you shine in a position that suits you, not let you do some simple work that anyone can do. If I want to find a group of people who are suitable to work in a sweatshop, I will start another game and draw up a guest list. ” He chuckled.”Ha … There are plenty of people who are in debt and know that they can’t pay off their debts in their lifetime …”
The host’s words were like candy and a whip. He gave the group of people a sense of superiority, but it was also realistic. Most importantly … He gave them “hope.”
This group of people were the type who had no other choice and were desperate.
Under such guidance, they would easily lean towards “luck.”
That’s right, it’s scary to accept the host’s “protection.” But … So what if he returned to the shore?
When they returned to shore, they would face huge debts, jail time, or even both.
He lived in the shadow of debt day after day, or spent a long time behind bars, and after he was released from prison, he became a person on the edge who could not integrate into society …
Dragging down his family, being abandoned, being discriminated against, life … He no longer had a chance.
As a group of people who had once occupied a certain amount of social resources, they knew more about how the world worked than those who had never been at a high position. They had seen more darkness and understood the so-called human nature better …
They knew that falling wasn’t scary … What was scary was losing the chance to climb up again. In this world,”opportunities” had always been in the hands of a few people. Most people just went with the flow. Even if they saw a ray of light from the top, it would be easily snatched by those who already had more resources.
Therefore, they knew very well that leaving this ship … Was equivalent to giving up their last “chance.”
Compared to the ‘clear despair’, perhaps the ‘vague abyss’ provided by the host was more attractive to them.
…………
“I can do it,”
“I’ve been through so many storms, this is nothing. ”
“It’s just working day and night, like a high loan with labor …”
“No matter what, it’s still better than me going out to work at the bottom and being forced to pay a debt every day.”
“I’ll grit my teeth. If it’s me, I’ll be able to pay it off in ten years … No, five years. By then, I can return to Dong mountain and start again.”
“Besides …”
“Besides …”
“Besides …”
“I … Might not lose!”
“Yes, as long as we win …”
“If we win, not only will we be able to pay off our debts, but we’ll also have a surplus.”
“There are a total of eight spots.”
“How can such an outstanding person like me not even make it into the top eight?”
…………
While the host was speaking, the guests were also struggling in their hearts, weighing the pros and cons of the two choices …
Under the double illusion of “I can win” and “I can still turn things around even if I’m protected”, most people were inclined to the second choice.
“Alright … I think everyone has understood these two ways out after failure.” The host didn’t let them think for too long. He said,”I don’t want to waste any more time answering all kinds of specific details …”
When he said that, he purposely glanced in Feng bujue’s direction. Even though he was wearing a mask, brother Jue sensed this gaze and sneered back.
“Anyway, the choice is in your hands. I won’t force you to accept my ‘protection’. If you want to leave the ship after failing, feel free to do so.” The host shrugged.”But … Before I announce the rules of the game, you must make a choice.”
Before he could finish his sentence, several entrances on the first floor were opened one after another. Some men in suits and sunglasses pushed their carts out expressionlessly.
The things on the carts were the same kind of pen, contract, and cash.
“Everyone, I will only say what I’m about to say once, so please listen carefully.” When the host said this, the men in suits had already pushed the carts to several designated positions and stood there.”Today, we will play more than one game, and each one will require ‘chips’, and these chips, I will ‘lend’ to you.”
At this time, the crowd’s attention was basically attracted by the small “mountains of banknotes” around them. The carts were all filled with US dollars, and at a glance, each cart was piled with more than five million US dollars in banknotes.(In Feng bujue’s universe, in order to lower the crime rate to a certain extent and remove the obstacles in the implementation of negative interest rate policies, the evil M Nation had removed the 100 and 50 dollar bills many years ago. Therefore, the carts were all filled with 20 dollar bills.)
“Every guest can borrow from the staff. The loan amount is limited to 20000 to 100000 dollars.” The host’s explanation continued,”please don’t borrow in units of ‘ten thousand’ or less. That will waste too much time. After the loan is completed, the amount you receive will be used in the game … Of course, you have to return the money. ” At this point, he paused for two seconds.”Needless to say, the winner of the game is the winner. This amount of money is nothing to you. You can return it in the future. As for the losers … Those who choose to accept my ‘protection’, you don’t have to care about that. The part that you can’t pay back will be added to the money ‘you owe me’; However, for those who choose to leave the ship after failing … You better be mentally prepared. I don’t buy the ‘don’t worry about your debts’ trick. Once you get off my ship, you’re no longer my ‘guest’. At that time, I’ll only give you a month to pay back the money. After a month, I’ll use a more effective way than any usury you know to make you pay off your debts. ”
The ‘method’ he mentioned was actually known by many people in this venue …
Putting aside gender and appearance, every healthy adult could be worth at least 500000 Yuan.
According to the exchange rate (in this universe and the current era), it was about 100000 US dollars.
Of course … The result of this kind of ‘exploitation’ usually meant death.
“I’ve prepared two types of loan contracts. One is for ‘those who disembark after game failure’, and the other is for ‘those who accept protection after game failure’. Please consider which one to sign and … How much money to fill in.” As the host spoke, he waved his hand, signaling to the men in suits who were holding the glass cabinet to leave.”You have 15 minutes to make a decision, and then exchange the contract for cash.” After he said this, his tone changed slightly and he added,”Oh, right. Please don’t sign any random names on the contract and try to take advantage of the situation. When you borrow money, you will need to hand over the ‘keycard’ of your room. Your identity will not be mixed up … Signing randomly will only bring humiliation to yourself. ”
After saying that, the host paused for a second, took half a step back, and said very politely,””Then … Everyone, please excuse me for a moment.”
…………
After the host left the main hall, there was a depressing silence.
Those small groups of people who had been chatting happily and seemed to regret not meeting each other earlier were now silent.
Everyone was struggling with their thoughts, calculating their own debts.
No one would discuss it with others … Because in this place, no one would truly trust others.
Hualalalalalalalalala
At this moment of silence, the sound of paper flipping suddenly came from somewhere.
At this moment, everyone’s attention was naturally attracted by the sound.
When they heard the voice and turned around, Feng bujue had already picked up the pen and filled in the amount of 100000 on the contract. Then, he signed the name ‘Jiang daode’ cleanly.
“Give me the money.” After signing, brother Jue passed the contract and his magnetic card to the men in suits and stated the two words clearly.
In order to prevent people from taking advantage of the situation, three men in suits stood next to each cart.
“Er …” The group was stunned for three to four seconds before one of the men in the suit reacted and accepted Feng bujue’s contract and access card.
He glanced at the amount and signature on the contract and then read,””A … A hundred thousand …”
Then, he turned to look at his colleague and nodded.
The other man in a suit nodded in response. He then picked up a plastic bag that could be sealed and began to put money in it.
