Chapter 328: 156: Breaking the Deadlock and Going on the Offensive_2
Everyone thought you were living in misery, so you went to work part-time.
In fact, that was true, you went to Songjiang City's notorious bad school—Lin Nan Secondary School, and became a little punk.
Your scholarly appearance, combined with your graceful and amiable demeanor, as well as those nerdy glasses, made you seem like a lamb in such a school where even teachers bought accidental insurance for their classes, and disputes were happening everywhere.
But you liked it there, many people were deceived by your appearance, and you were always able to beat someone half to death under the guise of self-defense, that feeling of blood spraying out from the skin, just like when you stepped on a caterpillar as a child.
When you felt you had had enough fun, you would take out a mirror, then slowly wipe off the blood on your body, put on your glasses, comb your hair into the look of a good student, bow your head, and show a timid expression.
Then you became the good student everyone saw again. You returned to school, continuing to play the role of a bookworm.]
This memory upload stunned Zhou Baiyu.
"Damn, is it not that I'm not twisted enough to fit in with you, but that I think you're not twisted enough to fit in with me?"
So the newcomer was such a twisted character?
After these memories flooded in, even Zhou Baiyu's flamboyant side almost persuaded himself to choose D.
But after taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed the impulse.
"I can't let myself fall, maybe my choice is about shaping another side of this newcomer..."
Option C was unquestionably his choice. But option D seemed to also have a lot of possibilities.
"What a lunatic."
Zhou Baiyu eventually chose C, while feeling a sense of being "tricked."
He had already exchanged memories with a very twisted individual, and now here came another one, and although this newcomer wasn't as twisted as the previous, he still felt somewhat tainted.
It seemed like a certain mark.
Thinking about how this place was related to "the god of games and amusement," Zhou Baiyu always felt that the moment he chose the newcomer, he might have been noticed by this god turned into rules...
At the same time, he quickly received news of an emergency.
...
...
The scene shifts to Xinkui the honest person.
Xinkui was also gradually receiving his memories.
It is worth mentioning that the parents of the honest person Xinkui played were truly very honest and decent.
Xinkui's own parents were the same.
Xinkui chose the honest person, and somehow it was similar to someone choosing an overly sane person, both wanting to choose a character that matched their own personality.
As memories continuously loaded, Xinkui realized that the honest person was actually no longer honest.
But it was different from those who had deviated from their true nature from the start, the honest person was truly very decent before.
Just that time and again getting frustrated in life made him realize... the universally praised trait of honesty, was a weakness.
He grew to despise his own honesty, wanting to become evil, to become slick.
As choices continued to appear, Xinkui really found that... this person was not really bad.
He also sensed that evil game.
And in the first round of this game, as the honest person confessed the worst things he had done to his parents, he had almost nothing to say.
For the honest person, his embarrassing moments were never a secret.
But as the game deepened, he gradually felt toyed with.
Until the night of many people, when the honest person discovered that woman he greatly adored...
He started to become angry, he increasingly felt that this was just a story of a rich person, taking fun in poor people's expense.
He subjectively considered the femme fatale to be a pitiful woman.
Being obsessed with the femme fatale wasn't scary, the scariest part was, he started feeling sympathy for her.
So at the next meeting, Xinkui saw that hidden option—honest person's anger, directly killing the supervisor.
Luckily, Xinkui did not choose that option, because by then, he had not yet been influenced by the honest person's memories.
And as for the so-called meetings.
They were meant for the supervisor to calm everyone down and to inquire about everyone's needs. In this process, the supervisor would also recap the other choices everyone had made.
To keep revisiting those shameful past events and to congratulate them for finally breaking through human limits to become more noble beings.
Every choice in this evil game was destroying various boundaries of these people.
Ettiquette, humility, morals, dignity, worldviews...
And these meetings were there to further brainwash them to accept such things.
So when Xinkui chose to work overtime and attend these meetings, these people who had experienced the night with multiple people and were about to start the sixth round, their humanity hadn't completely perished, their moral values had declined.
So when newcomer swung a slap, their moral values actually increased.
The honest person was actually the one with the highest moral baseline among everyone.
So fundamentally, everyone was a bit wary.
But when the honest person chose to indulge in beauty, that wariness lowered.
A kind person has two potential ways to fall, one is struggling while falling, continuously falling and struggling.
The other is suddenly realizing it, drowning in desires and giving up struggling.
Some feared that the honest person once showing a tendency to kill might explode prematurely and end the game...
After all, apart from the honest person, there were indeed a few people enjoying the game.
The challenge ahead was the sixth round, the prize, three million two hundred thousand.
For these poor people, three million two hundred thousand was basically more money than they could ever earn in a lifetime.
