Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Death Game

"ah!"

In the darkness, there were screams.

"Anyone there?"

"Help! Where is this place?"

There were both male and female voices, and their tones were filled with fear.

On the ceiling, rows of headlights lit up one after another, illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime.

Below, many people covered their eyes; the dazzling light made it difficult for them to adapt for a while.

Jiang Yu woke up from a deep sleep. Similarly, he squinted his eyes, looked around through the gaps between his fingers, and took in the surrounding environment.

This is a large space of several hundred square meters, like the interior of an abandoned factory, but except for the bright and dazzling headlights overhead and a high platform, it is empty.

There was only one spiral staircase that seemed to lead to the second floor. There were large speakers installed in the four corners of the ceiling, and an extra-large electronic screen hung on the wall.

But there are a lot of people.

There were dozens of people lying on the ground in all directions. Only a few were still unconscious. Most of them were awake. Like Jiang Yu, they looked around curiously.

Everyone was wearing the same green sportswear with a number in a red circle and white letters on the front and back of their chests.

They all wore a metal collar around their necks that flashed red light and had strange numbers jumping on it.

Jiang Yu looked down at his clothes and saw the number ⑥ written on it.

Likewise, he wore a heavy metal collar around his neck.

He tried to take it off, but was unable to do so. It seemed to be made with some advanced craftsmanship and was a complete body.

Jiang Yu sat on the ground at a loss. He was just a failed horror online writer. His last book performed so poorly that he only earned a few dozen yuan.

As a result, his wife Zhou Qingqing, who is also a thriller novelist, had a big fight with him and returned to her parents' home with her lovely five-year-old daughter Yin Yin.

As usual, after waking up from a nap, he racked his brains on the computer and wrote two thousand words, then went out to buy two meat buns, which was his dinner.

After finishing his meal, he fell into a deep sleep in front of his computer. When he woke up, he was already at this place.

"Where the hell is this?"

A yellow-haired young man nearby looked confused, cursed, and asked the others.

"I don't know, but we should have been captured..."

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl with a ponytail said with a frown.

"Who dares to do this? In Dragon Country, is there anyone who dares to kidnap dozens of people at the same time? Aren't you afraid of the death penalty?"

A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses in the distance said angrily.

In the corner, a young man with silver hair was leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets. He seemed indifferent to all this and just waited quietly.

But no matter what, most people were very nervous. The unfamiliar environment and weird atmosphere made it difficult for them to adapt for a while.

Jiang Yu pricked up his ears to listen to what others were saying, trying to gather as much important information as possible.

At this moment, an excited voice came from behind: "Jiang Yu! Why are you here too?"

Jiang Yu turned around, eyes wide open, somewhat incredulous. The extremely familiar face in front of him was none other than his wife Zhou Qingqing, with whom he slept day and night.

Why is she here? Didn't she go back to her parents' home?

She was wearing the same green tracksuit with the number 16 on her chest and a metal collar around her neck that made a beeping sound.

"Honey, I'm so scared..."

Zhou Qingqing changed her usual hot temper and threw herself into Jiang Yu's arms like a weak girl, crying non-stop.

"Why are you here? Do you know where this is?"

Jiang Yu touched her head, patted her back, tidied her messy long hair, and comforted her.

"I don't know. Yinyin was drawing in the living room. Mom went out to the park. I was sleeping in the bedroom. When I woke up, I was here."

Zhou Qingqing sobbed incessantly.

"It's okay, I will protect you."

Jiang Yu said gently.

The two men held hands tightly, wearing rings of the same shape on their hands. These were silver rings that the two men had made for each other personally.

Although the two of them often had small quarrels, and Zhou Qingqing even went back to her parents' home this time, Jiang Yu still loved her deeply. The two of them had walked through seven years together and their feelings were extremely deep.

"There's a door here! Come help!"

A man's loud shout was heard in the distance, and many people crawled and rolled to their feet and rushed towards the direction of the voice.

Jiang Yu took Zhou Qingqing's hand and followed the crowd until they saw a huge iron gate, but it was covered with iron chains and locked tightly with several large iron locks.

Many people pulled at the door desperately, some pounded on it, and some tried to find something to break the lock...

But there is no doubt that it was all in vain.

At this moment, the sound of a door opening was suddenly heard on the platform behind them. Everyone was attracted by the sound and gathered under the platform.

"Da Da Da"

On the high platform, the sound of leather shoes walking was heard, coming from far away. A man wearing a black suit and a pig-face mask appeared in front of everyone.

He put his hands behind his back and looked down at the people below through the mask with cold eyes, like a god high above.

Behind him, in a triangle shape, stood several men, all dressed in special forces-like uniforms, with strong muscles and bull-head masks on their heads.

However, they all held a gun in their arms.

"Who are you?"

"Let us out of here!"

"You are breaking the law! Aren't you afraid of going to jail?"

There was an instant uproar from the audience. Many people looked angry. Some even wanted to rush to the stage, while others remained silent and waited.

The man with the pig-face mask stretched out his right hand, and a man next to him immediately and respectfully handed him a small black remote control with both hands. The man took the remote and pressed a switch.

In an instant, the electronic screen on the wall lit up, showing the portraits of fifty people. There was a corresponding number in the upper right corner of the portrait, filling the entire screen.

"Welcome everyone! You must be curious about why you are here. That's because I want to invite you to participate in an interesting game. By the way, here, I am God. Rules come second, and I come first. I like quietness. Now, please shut up."

The man with the pig-head mask took a microphone and held it to his mouth. His voice was immediately amplified dozens of times through four speakers, and everyone could hear it clearly.

The voice was so cold and indifferent that it made people feel cold in their hearts.

Below, right in front of Jiang Yu, a hot-tempered bearded man pointed directly at the pig-faced masked man and cursed: "You dead pig head, let your grandfather out quickly, do you know who I am? I f*****g..."

The number on his back is 46.

Before the big man finished speaking, the man with the pig-faced mask looked indifferent and gently pressed the remote control in his hand.

The next moment, the collar on the big man's neck issued a shrill alarm sound, and a huge explosion occurred instantly, and half of the big man's body was directly blown to pieces.

In an instant, the crowd burst into screams, cries, and shouts for help, and everyone's face was filled with fear.

Jiang Yu's face was covered in blood, which was dripping down his face, from the corners of his nose, mouth, and earlobes. His clothes were also stained with blood.

He stood there blankly, his mind blank and his whole body shaking uncontrollably.

This is called a fun game?

The pig-faced masked man's cold voice sounded again.

"I've already told you to be quiet. Next, I'm going to give you an example of how to play an interesting game. This will determine who will leave here alive in the end. Please watch carefully."

This time, no one dared to speak. Everyone was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard clearly.

Zhou Qingqing was standing on Jiang Yu's right. Even though she was extremely scared, she still wiped the blood off Jiang Yu's face with her sleeve and hugged him gently.

"Next, I will randomly select three lucky players to play a game."

The man in the pig-face mask laughed strangely and pressed the remote control in his hand.

An avatar selection box appeared on the electronic screen, scrolling rapidly across all the people's avatars. Soon, three people's avatars were fixed.

"Congratulations to No. 6, No. 16, and No. 34 for being selected. Please stand in the open space on the left, and the rest of you stand on the right. If the selected players refuse to participate in the game, they will be eliminated directly like No. 46!"

The Pig Face Mask said excitedly.

Jiang Yu looked down and remembered that he was number 6 and was selected to participate in the next game.

Wait, No. 16, isn't this the number on his wife Zhou Qingqing's clothes?

"Honey, I'm scared..."

Hearing what the pig-faced masked man said, Zhou Qingqing hugged Jiang Yu tightly, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

"It's okay. I'm here."

Jiang Yu patted her back gently and comforted her.

Then, a little boy about twelve or thirteen years old looked down at the number on his chest and confirmed that it was number 34.

He came to Jiang Yu.

The rest of the people automatically moved to the right to make room for the three people. They all saw that Jiang Yu and Zhou Qingqing had a special relationship and became more curious about the direction of this game.

They didn't know what the pig-faced masked man was going to do, but the trick of killing the chicken to scare the monkey made everyone realize that the man on the stage was a complete lunatic.

He really can do anything...

Jiang Yu, Zhou Qingqing, and the little boy stood in a triangle, looking at each other, and everyone's body couldn't help but tremble.

"Next, let me reveal the game. It's rock, scissors, paper! The rules are very simple. When I count to three, you all punch at the same time, and then continue the game. The last one to lose will be eliminated. Oh, by the way, if you punch late, you will be eliminated directly!"

The Pig-Faced Mask seemed a little impatient, and his voice was trembling with excitement.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. They had originally thought that this was a complicated challenge game, but they didn't expect it to be such a simple game.

The rock-paper-scissors game is when three people throw their fists at the same time, paper is bigger than fist, fist is bigger than scissors, and scissors is bigger than paper.

If it is a tie, the next round of punches will continue until the winner is determined.

Without giving Jiang Yu time to think, the man with the pig-faced mask started counting.

"one!"

The little boy suddenly raised his head, opened his bright eyes, and looked at Jiang Yu with sincerity: "Brother, can you let me go? I don't want to die... I will use the scissors."

Jiang Yu looked at the little boy in front of him and felt a chill all over his body. At this moment, he could no longer tell whether the other party was telling the truth or a lie.

His mind was racing. Without considering Zhou Qingqing for the moment, the little boy said this to induce him to punch, because the other party would most likely believe that he would not let him, so the other party might use cloth to kill him.

If you punch, it's dangerous.

"two!"

The voice of the man with the pig-face mask sounded again.

Jiang Yu broke out in sweat. If he played cloth, what if the other party was telling the truth and really played scissors?

It is still very dangerous to take out the cloth.

"three!"

The voice of the man with the pig-face mask sounded again in a regular pattern.

Jiang Yu didn't have time to think and directly chose the scissors.

As a result, Zhou Qingqing used the scissors, Jiang Yu used the scissors, and the little boy used his fist.

The little boy looked up at Jiang Yu, blinked his eyes, and said, "Thank you, brother. You are so kind."

Jiang Yu felt a chill run up his spine to his neck and shivered all over.

At this moment, the cute little boy in front of him looked like a devil to him.

"Okay, there are two left. Number 6 and number 16 continue the game."

The pig-faced masked man nodded with satisfaction.

The little boy stepped back into the crowd and stood next to No. 20, a middle-aged man with dark skin.

Jiang Yu and Zhou Qingqing stood face to face, Jiang Yu looked dazed. How could such a bizarre thing happen?

He is just an ordinary person, who was abandoned by his biological parents when he was a child.

The only mark is the butterfly mark next to his belly button.

He should have lived an ordinary life, experiencing birth, old age, sickness and death, but misfortune always visited him and his adoptive parents died early in an accident.

He was fortunate to meet Zhou Qingqing, the person he loved the most. The two met in college and got together because of their common interest in writing. After graduation, they lived together.

Once, the two of them were on the rooftop together, enjoying the breeze, drinking beer and talking loudly.

They both boasted that sooner or later they would become famous horror online writers, and when the time came, they would have to hold the other tightly, otherwise it would be too late to regret.

At that time, Zhou Qingqing laughed and scolded him, saying that the things you wrote were rubbish and no one would read them. You'd better wait until I make money to support you.

Thinking back on the little things that happened between them, it was so heartwarming. And now, in this weird and terrifying environment, they were fighting to see who would win.

Jiang Yu didn't dare to think about what punishment those eliminated would receive, nor did he want to think about it.

"one!"

The man with the pig-faced mask squatted down, looked at the two people below, and read out the numbers with interest.

Jiang Yu recovered from his memories, looked at Zhou Qingqing affectionately, and breathed a sigh of relief. He was relieved, smiled at Zhou Qingqing and said, "Qingqing, I'm leaving, you have to live well, try to live, and promise me that you will take care of Yinyin until she grows up."

"two"

The voice of the pig-faced masked man sounded again, like the countdown of death.

Zhou Qingqing covered her mouth with her hands, two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks, her eyes were filled with despair and pain, and her whole body began to tremble.

"three"

The pig-faced masked man read out the last number indifferently.

They both reached out their hands at the same time.

Jiang Yu came out of the cloth.

Zhou Qingqing threw out his fist.

Jiang Yu looked at Zhou Qingqing in disbelief.

Why is this happening?

Why did she throw her fist?

He was ready to die.

Even if you have to continue to participate in the game, the hope of survival is slim.

He also wanted to leave this opportunity to Zhou Qingqing, hoping that she could live with his will.

Zhou Qingqing slumped to the ground, raised his head and looked at Jiang Yu desperately, stretched out his hand, and opened his mouth to say something.

The next moment, Jiang Yu watched his wife explode in front of him...

Once again, blood splattered all over him and dripped from his face.

He wanted to cry, but he couldn't.

A feeling of despair and anger filled his mind, and he stood there like a zombie.

There was silence all around, as quiet as death.

Everyone understood that it was just as they thought. Elimination meant death, and the collar around the neck would explode directly, taking the person's life.

This is a death game between fifty people.

"Very good, perfect.

The first game has ended successfully.

Everyone should have a preliminary understanding of the game I am going to host.

This game is just a warm-up, mainly to let everyone understand how severe the punishment for losing the game is.

The following games will be more exciting.

Next, I will announce the rules of the game in detail."

The man in the pig-faced mask stood up, smiled and clapped.

At this moment, Jiang Yu below suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. He held his head with both hands and closed his eyes in pain.

Then, he saw a golden seed floating quietly in the air in his mind.

Jiang Yu was stunned. At this moment, he seemed to feel the information of the seed being instilled into his consciousness.

[Seed of God's Gambling]: A mysterious golden seed that only absorbs the energy generated by the host in the death game.

Eventually, it can grow into the God of Gambling Tree.

As the seeds grow, they will continuously strengthen the host's physical fitness, intelligence, strength, memory, combat effectiveness and other attributes, helping the host win in the life-and-death game.

Note: The host must continue to obtain energy to water the seeds. Otherwise, the seeds of the gambling god will quickly wither and the host will die.

Jiang Yu felt his head buzzing. This gambling addict was like a parasite, forcing him to play games every day.

Once he chooses to stop, only death awaits him!

Moreover, every game is a gamble of life!
