Chapter 9 It's Just the Beginning

Send 9 dead?

Karen is the murderer?

Jason, who was flipping through the book "How to Properly Participate in the 'Crazy Game'" (one for the Survivor and one for the Berserker) just exchanged, raised his head in amazement after hearing the news broadcast on the TV. , looking at the news that was suddenly broadcast.

A fight between families?

Or a struggle between the heirs?

still……

Some hostile force?

Almost instantly, Jason thought of this subconsciously.

Any family, although powerful, must be intertwined with the passage of time.

Fights are, of course, inevitable.

After all, no matter how big the family is, the resources are limited.

If you want to obtain resources, you must strive to be upstream.

Perhaps it is a family, and it is also peaceful on the surface.

secretly?

You die and I live.

And the enemy is the same.

In order to obtain more benefits and resources, the enemy will never disappear, but will only appear in a steady stream. Either the enemy will be swallowed up and become its own nutrients, or it will be destroyed by the enemy and become fertile soil in the enemy's back garden.

However, no matter which one it is, Jason definitely doesn't believe that it was Karen's hand.

It's not that Jason has absolute confidence in Karen.

Instead, I feel that Karen's strength is not enough!

"Has it been used?"

Jason muttered to himself.

Sender 9, Jason has seen.

In this apartment not long ago.

At that time, Sender 9,

Arrogant and domineering, eyes with disdain.

But the other party has the confidence to do so.

Jason's perception is beyond ordinary people's perception, and he can clearly perceive that even in this 'heavy defense' apartment, two lines of sight have been firmly locked on him.

It didn't exist before. It came out with the appearance of Sender 9 and left with the departure of Sender 9.

Obviously, Sender 9 has enough arrangements.

With bodyguards, and the strength is quite good.

In particular, the other party is so cautious when seeing him, the 'person in the cage', will Sender 9 have no arrangements when he sees Jialun?

it's out of the question.

Even if it is a temporary initiative, there will definitely be safe measures.

So, someone must have arranged it.

Using Jia Lun as 'bait', he lured Sender 9.

Or this 'inning' can be extended a little bit forward.

For example, when you came to see him, was it also a precursor to this 'game'?

Thinking of this, Jason still doesn't know the whole process of the incident, but there is one thing that Jason can be sure of.

The person in this layout is quite familiar with Sende 9, not only understands Sende 9's habits and way of doing things, but also has insight into Sende 9's character weaknesses.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to assassinate Sende 9 so simply, and a 'scapegoat' was just launched.

"Professional!"

Jason commented.

Then, Jason glanced at the news again, and after finding nothing, he quickly retracted his attention.

Since it is a professional, naturally it will not leave more clues.

Relying on such news to find clues is really a fantasy.

And dig deep?

He is no longer 'Detective Jason', just a 'masochist'.

What's more, with the power of the Sende family, there is no need for him to dig deeper, and some people are willing to come forward.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

As long as there is enough compensation, there are more people who are more professional than him willing to investigate everything.

In fact, it is.

Moreover, it came sooner than Jason imagined—

Whoa, whoa.

As the pages turned, Jason's attention was again attracted by the book in his hand.

"There are so many maps?"

"Sure enough, to be able to become a 'game' that is popular in this world, except for some accidental factors, all necessary factors are indispensable."

Looking at "How to correctly participate in the 'Crazy Game'" in his hand, Jason couldn't help but admire.

He compared the 'Survivor' version with the 'Murderer' version.

This is not his habit, but advice given by the author of the book How to Properly Participate in 'Mad Games'.

Although it does not rule out the suspicion that the other party wants the buyer to pay more points, Jason believes that it is worth the money.

At least, the more than 30 'game maps' have already made a lot of money for Jason, not to mention the battle of wits between the 'survivors' and the 'masochists' on these maps. ‘

Survivors, use all available items, or set up traps, or attack the west, or simply rely on the strength of the crowd to fight back against the 'Murderer'.

This is what impressed Jason the most.

In the preliminary round of a 'game', a 'survivor' gathered the strength of 30 people, and after setting up a trap, used himself as a bait to lead the chasing 'masochist' into the trap, and then relying on the advantage of the number of people, The 'masochist' was piled to death.

Of course, most of the 'survivors' were killed and injured, and even the planned 'survivors' were not spared.

However, the death of the 'Murderer' has brought the number of viewings of that game to an extreme.

It was also because of that match that more favorable conditions for the Survivors appeared.

For example: reward!

For example: treasure chests!

The former is as Jason knew it before.

And the treasure chest?

It is hidden in the map.

There may be weapons, drugs, food, or other miscellaneous things in there.

This is also one of the reasons why Jason thinks the book in his hand is worth the money-because, on the book in his hand, the locations where these treasure chests once appeared are marked in detail.

Although not 100% accurate, it is enough for Jason to make certain inferences.

And with the emergence of 'rewards' and 'treasure boxes', the previous situation of absolute victory for the 'masochists' was broken.

The 'Survivor' and the 'Murderer' became connected.

Even, for a period of time, the "survivors" became the most victorious party.

Until the rules of the 'game' change again.

The 'Murderer' can enter the field with his own 'handy' weapon.

After that, the two sides became in touch again.

"Balance?"

Jason looked at the nature of the rules of the 'game'.

Of course, he is very clear that such 'balance' is not for 'fairness', but just to make the 'game' more attractive.

A one-sided victory is very refreshing.

But not for long.

It's like playing a game with a cheat device.

The game ends with cheats.

Only the 'evenly matched' confrontation with each other is the most attractive.

The best thing is that one side has a slight disadvantage, but clenched its teeth to catch up, and made a comeback at the last minute.

This is what the 'viewers' want to see.

So, the 'game' does just that.

And because of this, Jason can guess that his next 'game' is definitely not that simple.

After all, he had already 'crushed' in the last game.

this one?

The 'game' planning will also make some adjustments to make the game more attractive.

As a result, Jason turned to the maps more intently.

Although most likely it won't be used.

But among them, the 'survivors' set up traps at key positions, and the 'masochist' chased at inconspicuous places, but he could learn something.

Just when Jason flipped through the wonderful example of a 'Survivor' using a reading wooden box to push a wooden board to smash the 'Murderer', footsteps were heard again in the corridor.

It's for two people.

One is 'Contact' Pells.

The other is an unfamiliar footstep.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Can we open the door?"

After the knock on the door, it was Pells' question.

The wood color faded from the glass door until Jason nodded.

Although this may seem like an extravagant move, Pells does it anyway.

As a qualified 'contact', he abides by everything in the 'contact' manual.

Including, should be vigilant against the 'masochist' while 'respecting' the other party.

Single quotation marks are marked in the manual.

As for how to understand?

That is a personal matter.

Pells chose to give "as much respect as possible".

Just like just now.

How about the others, I don't know.

At least, Jason doesn't hate this kind of behavior, and his gaze towards Perls is softer.

However, looking at the person beside Peres, he was not so polite.

indifferent.

That was the only meaning in Jason's eyes.

Not only because Jason and the other party met for the first time, but also because the other party's eyes and expressions were always tentative and malicious.

Maybe the other party thought it was well concealed, but under Jason's perception, the other party was completely invisible.

"Hello, Jason Player."

The other party greeted politely on the surface, and at the same time bowed slightly.

A black suit, a white shirt, and a pair of cheap leather shoes made the other party look like a door-to-door salesperson.

However, the salesman can't match the sharp eyes of the other party.

When greeting Jason, the strange visitor's eyes were fixed on Jason.

Jason's every move was not spared.

Although Jason wore a hockey mask, the exposed eyes were enough for the other side to examine.

It's a pity that Jason maintained that indifference from start to finish.

There was not the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.

This disappointed the unfamiliar visitor, but he was not discouraged. The other party straightened his back and turned to look at "Contacter" Pers.

"Mr. Pells, I'd like to talk to Jason player alone."

The other said so.

"Can."

"But please follow the rules."

Perce didn't stop him, just warned him, and after gesturing to Jason, he turned and walked towards the end of the corridor.

Automatic door, open and close.

Perce's figure disappeared behind the door.

The strange visitor then looked at Jason again.

"Player Jason, I'm Beard, the security advisor of the Sender family."

The other party introduced his identity.

Jason was not surprised by this.

After the death of Sende 9, the Sende family must first send their own people.

This is a must for a large family.

If something goes wrong, hiring outsiders directly will only make everyone think that this family is just a fake.

"Player Jason, there must be some guesses about why I came."

The Sender family security adviser pointed to the TV that was still playing.

At this moment, it is natural that the assassination of Sender 9 is playing on TV.

Even the live broadcast and replay of the 'game' were suppressed at this time.

Heat is a topic that is forever pursued.

"Master Sende 9 is a good young man. Although he has some problems that are unique to young people, most of the time, he has done a good job, at least he has done everything a young man can do."

"Therefore, he has high hopes."

"As a result, his accidental death will cause very bad things."

"Including the Jason player, is also in the scope of this influence."

"So, Jason, is there anything you want to tell me?"

After a period of 'challenging' that Jason thought was completely unnecessary, or even nonsense, Beard suddenly asked without end, and during the questioning, Beard stared at him again. Jason's eyes.

There is no doubt that this is a questioning technique.

Jason has seen quite a few people use this technique.

Inside the "city that never sleeps".

In the copy world.

For his own safety, Jason had already started training himself so that he would not show any unexpected expressions at any time, including his own eyes.

So the result was a disappointment to Beard.

He got nothing.

Beard did not give up, however.

"Maybe Jason player forgot something."

"I can give you a reminder."

"In Jialun, yes, it is the murderer who was announced to kill the young master of Sende 9. When he participated in the preliminaries of the previous 'game', Mr. Jason, you helped him."

"I exchanged 1 point for a lighter."

Beard explained in detail as if to remind, and as if to say that I know everything.

But Jason, still looks like that.

His face was covered by a hockey mask, his eyes were emotionless, and there was no movement.

Beard stared into those eyes.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

After a full ten seconds, Biddle took a deep breath.

"You know it doesn't do you any good to hide."

"Karen is just a scapegoat who was pushed out."

"And you?"

"Don't want to be similar, do you?"

Beard looked good for Jason.

Then, seeing the opponent who was useless to coerce, immediately began to lure him.

"'Wild Hunter' needs to win the finals to be free, but if you are willing to help the Sender family, the Sender family can make you free in advance."

"Maybe you need a makeover, but what's nothing compared to freedom, don't you think?"

With that said, Biddle looked at Jason expectantly.

But again, the security consultant was disappointed.

Jason is still the same.

This time, the security advisor frowned.

Jason was tougher than he thought.

But, one thing, the security consultant is certain.

Jason's calm eyes must be hiding something.

Related to Sender 9?

Or something else?

The security adviser is unknown.

However, he can already make a difference.

Thinking of this, the security consultant chose to leave.

After saying hello to Pells in the hallway, the security consultant returned to the car, picked up the phone in the car, and dialed a number.

"Your Excellency, I confirm it."

"Jason has something to hide."

"But I don't know if it has anything to do with Master Sende 9."

"check!"

"Whether it's related or not, you have to check it for me. Master Sende 9 is dead, so don't think about it for others."

A slightly gloomy voice came from the receiver.

Beard's heart froze.

He knew exactly what the words meant.

He knew better what would happen next.

Immediately, the security advisor of the Send family began to pray silently for those innocent people who might appear.

One thousand kills by mistake, but one is not spared.

That's what the Send family does.

It is also the practice of most 100 big families.

Fairness, mercy?

No.

Whoever believes there is is a real fool.

With a silent sigh in the bottom of my heart, the security advisor of the Sende family said loudly.

"clear."

Then, the phone hung up.

After sitting in the car and thinking for a while, Biddle was about to go to see Karen. This 'direct' murderer should have more clues.

The car started.

As an old driver, Biddle drove the car quite steadily and drove into the road.

But at the next moment, a heavy truck that merged from the fork went straight into the car that Biddle was driving.

boom!
