Chapter 289 Ending This Game
Okay, let's briefly review the current relationship between the characters.
First of all, Gil is a mother waiting for the birth of her child, while Cisse is an addict. After a brief encounter, the latter destroyed the new life that the former had longed for.
After Jill learned about this memory, she burst out with hatred, which directly led to Cisse's elimination. Of course, before he was eliminated, he also left behind a tongue, a pair of eyes, and a pair of ears.
These organs were stripped off alive.
Although Jill was full of regret for her actions afterward, she still let these things happen after all.
Some people may say that Gil did the right thing, because Cisse deserved all this.
Some people may also say that what Jill did was wrong. After all, this kind of thing is too cruel and should be handed over to the law.
Well, these words all seem to make sense. People always have emotions and desires. When faced with hatred, everyone will want to take revenge, and people are always rational. We know how to use the law to restrict ourselves. Otherwise, the world would have been in chaos. .
But these rules only apply to our daily lives. In this game, there is no need to consider these things. Everything here has to be done with chips.
Revenge when there is a grudge, complain when there is a grudge, throw a few chips, and the other party can be punished.
under this rule.
As an old man who was deprived of medical funds and could only watch himself die, John could do anything.
So at this moment, William was trying his best to comfort John, who seemed expressionless, but no one knew in his heart whether he had been eroded by hatred. At the same time, he also secretly calculated the chips on the table.
At this moment, the chip in John's hand is similar to his own, except that he has two [noses] and no [mouth], while the chip in John's hand is very lucky, and has all five organs.
In other words, if he wants to take revenge on himself, he can't keep his mouth.
However, Jill has a mouth among her chips, so can I exchange it with Jill?
What should I do if I can't exchange it, Jill doesn't want to exchange it with me, or the price is raised?
So, should we first show goodwill to Jill and reach a front?
William is indeed a master who has spent half his life in the insurance industry. He is extremely familiar with the methods of dealing with people. Therefore, these problems and the corresponding solutions have gradually taken shape in his mind. .
However."
"I don't need it," John said calmly.
At this time, not only the others, but also the bartender were a little stunned.
"Oh? Are you saying you don't need me to do anything for you?"
The bartender asked, and he deliberately emphasized his tone, as if to remind him. This memory was recalled by the two of you at the same time. If you don't do something, William will probably strike first. After all, no one wants to have someone who has feelings for him in this situation. Resentful people are on the field.
"Yes, I don't need any help from you." John responded again: "So, if you are not ready to let us leave, then let this game continue quickly."
"Hey, that's interesting, as you wish." The bartender said with a smile.
I have to say that in the eyes of the bartender, this old man named John is indeed very interesting. The bartender has watched games like this many times. In the face of hatred, almost everyone will lose themselves more or less. Choose revenge.
Of course, there are also many people who choose to do nothing, but most of these people do it because of cowardice, fear, or simply being scared. But John was very calm, as if he could still maintain the mentality of a bystander when facing someone who had cut off his hope of survival.
The most important thing is that from his words, the bartender seemed to realize that he was always there. It seems like he has been enjoying this game.
"Then... next round." the bartender said.
With these words, the first person to pick up the cards and put them on the table was Jill. She didn't even look at what cards she picked up.
In fact, the only thing this woman wants to do now is to get out of this game quickly. She doesn't want to play anymore, and she doesn't want any chance to realize her wish. She just wants to lose the few cards in her hand quickly, and then leave.
William, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and looked at the other two people as calmly as possible, hesitating on his own cards.
Then John moved.
He casually picked up a card in front of him and threw it on the table.
This action once again shocked everyone, including the bartender.
Because what he produced was stones.
Well, yes, he played a stone, and what surprised everyone was not the card he played, but the fact that he just so casually threw a card onto the table with his clenched fist. It appears clearly in front of everyone's eyes.
a brief silence
"Hehe -" the bartender chuckled: "Mr. John, I think it is necessary for me to ask, have you decided to play this card?"
"Yes." John replied.
"Okay, but I still have to remind you that this card is face up."
John nodded: "I know, the rules don't say that the cards played must be upside down, right?"
"certainly."
"Then, I won't change it anymore." John confirmed his behavior again. .
William and Jill looked at each other, both a little at a loss when faced with this "clear" behavior.
Therefore, they did not notice that the bartender's expression changed for the first time from the beginning of the game until now. He no longer smiled, but frowned slightly.
"Hey - I'm sorry, but can I interrupt you?" Suddenly, the bartender asked: "Do you want to give up the game by doing this?"
John was silent for a while: "Before answering your question, can I also ask you a question?"
"Sure, that's fair."
John raised his head: "What's the point of this game?"
The bartender hesitated: "Meaning?"
"Yes, at least until now, I haven't seen any meaning. Although it is a bit absurd, I have undoubtedly confirmed that you have a power beyond our knowledge. So if you just want to play with or kill If you want to kill us, then you don’t have to use this method, it’s too troublesome.”
The bartender smiled: "Haha, no, no, I will not take the initiative to kill anyone here. I am just following the requests you have made. In fact, it may be a bit rude to say it, but the lives of you humans, It's really not worth the effort to 'capture'. I design these games simply because I need hate."
"Hate?"
"Yes, hatred. Although you humans are not strong, your accumulation of hatred is better than many other creatures. Sometimes, even a little bit of resentment, nourished in your heart, will turn into a It’s growing at an astonishing rate. So, I’m just collecting hatred. As for the reason, I personally feel that I don’t need to explain it to you, because you have no way of understanding it.”
"So, are we just guinea pigs in some kind of experiment for you?"
"Oh, please don't say that. I am a person who abides by the principle of equivalent exchange. You know, at the end of this game, I can realize the winner's wish, so if you look at it from another perspective, you should be grateful I’m right.”
"So that's it." Jigsaw nodded and said calmly: "Sure enough, this game is different from what I thought."
The bartender raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Although I don't know why, as soon as I heard your explanation of this game, I seemed to lose interest in this game, and even got a little bored. Originally, I thought you wanted to change something, or to prove something to Let’s see, but I seem to be thinking too simply. For a being like you, our human emotions, or human nature, should not be able to arouse your interest, right?”
The bartender still smiled and didn't answer.
"Okay, let me answer your question just now. I don't think this game is fun, so I don't want this game to follow your established route."
John said softly.
"I want to end it in my own way."
