[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Chu Liuxiang always thought that he was a very gentle person. There were few things that could make him angry, let alone make him so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

You know, even when facing someone who wants to kill him, Chu Liuxiang will still respond with a smile, and sometimes even respond with sympathy.

But when he saw several men teaming up to bully a woman for no reason, and the people around them not only did not stop them but also played and had fun, he was so angry that he wanted to chop off the hands of those worse than beasts!

As he thought of this, a wine bottle appeared in his hand. With a shock of his internal force, fragments flew out and accurately pierced the palms of those people. As a result, the people who were laughing loudly the previous moment, screamed miserably like pigs being slaughtered the next moment.

In fact, he didn't want to take action right away. Even if he wanted to make these people suffer, there should always be a "negotiation" process. Especially in a world where social order is completely chaotic, what he has to do is to restore order, not become a part of the order struggling in chaos.

But how could Chu Liuxiang just stand by and watch as the poor woman was crying and struggling hysterically?

The current situation was that the woman he rescued had not yet figured out the situation. She was trembling and hiding behind a tall man, looking around vigilantly. He was standing on the outskirts of the auditorium, with people all around him. They looked at him in surprise as an uninvited guest. Some of them pulled out knives, and some pulled out guns. The reason why no one had taken action yet was because the man sitting in the first seat had not spoken yet.

The auditorium was in chaos for a while, then gradually quieted down. Soon, even the people who had injured their hands stopped howling. They stared at him with tears on their faces and cold sweat. The woman was still crying, and Chu Liuxiang tried his best not to look at her, because whether it was pity or anger, it was a distraction to him.

"You are the one with special powers." The man sitting in the first seat put down the cutlery in his hand. Perhaps he wanted to make himself look very elegant and like a big brother. However, he had only been the big brother for a short time, and his sitting posture was not as imposing as Chu Liuxiang who was surrounded by guns.

"I was lucky enough to let you get away that night, and I scolded the brother who was in charge. I didn't expect you to come to my door so soon. I thought you were a smart man." The man wanted to call you an idiot, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was incompatible with his status, so he swallowed the words back.

The man wiped his mouth, stood up, and walked towards Chu Liuxiang leisurely, his voice could be described as brisk: "You came to see me at this time, it seems that you have mixed up with that kid named Zhang? Are you here alone?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "One person is enough."

The man smiled grimly, and saw that Chu Liuxiang's expression showed some appreciation. When he walked in front of Chu Liuxiang, he already had a wine glass in his hand: "Want a drink?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "No wine, no fun."

"Beer or white wine?"

This was Chu Liuxiang's blind spot. He glanced at the table, frowned, and said, "But I didn't come here to drink today."

A glass of wine had been handed to him. When the man saw Chu Liuxiang didn't take it, he felt embarrassed and his slightly friendly smile became a little cold: "You're not here to drink, are you here to fight?"

"I'm here to reason." Chu Liuxiang said calmly.

Laugh out loud.

A gun was pointed at Chu Liuxiang's head, and the bullet was already loaded: "You are here to be a policeman? Come on, tell me, tell me!"

The muzzle of the gun was poking again and again, and the surrounding was filled with sounds of teasing and mocking.

"Alright, alright." The man still had the wine glass in his hand, and he spoke slowly in a tone of a superior using both kindness and force: "I know you were forced into a corner, otherwise you wouldn't have come here alone to die, and you came in openly. For this reason, I admire you. I also love talent, and I think you have some skills. So, you drink this wine and stay to be my bodyguard, and I will let Zhang go. I remember there are two large supermarkets in his area? I'll give them to you, and we'll write off all the grievances in the past. What do you think?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "I'm sorry, I can't accept this arrangement. Do you want to listen to me?"

"You said."

There were about a hundred people gathered in the auditorium, and more than a hundred pairs of eyes were looking at Chu Liuxiang. Some looked arrogant, some looked numb, and some looked uneasy. He looked around at everyone, his eyes turned cold again, and he said slowly: "I want the murderer to pay with his life, I want those who bullied others to pay the price, and I will also take away those who were enslaved and bullied by you."

The man had a ferocious look on his face and slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground. With a bang, the wine splashed everywhere!

"I know what you're here for. You're here to get fucking killed!"

At the same time, the man who was holding the gun against Chu Liuxiang's head moved his finger. As long as he pulled the trigger, Chu Liuxiang's head would be smashed. The man had even prepared in advance to avoid the splashing liquid.

Just at this moment, no, it was shorter than a moment, as if it happened at the same time, the gun in that person's hand disappeared!

He was still holding the gun and pulling the trigger. When he found that his hand was inexplicably empty, the gun was already in Chu Liuxiang's hand.

Chu Liuxiang had stood behind the man opposite him, but the gun was not pointed at the man's head. Instead, Chu Liuxiang was holding it in his hand and playing with it, with his index finger on the trigger and spinning it in circles, as if he was ready to randomly shoot a lucky spectator.

The entire auditorium fell silent. Everyone who saw this scene couldn't believe their eyes. This plot, which seemed to only happen in TV dramas, actually happened in reality, right before their eyes!

Especially the young man whose gun was taken away in an instant. His eyes almost popped out, his whole body was trembling, and his calves were cramping. "I said, I'm here to reason. Do you want to listen?"

The gun in his hand was finally pressed against the man's head. The muscles on the man's face twitched and he said, "You say!"

"My philosophy is: evil will never prevail over good, power will never prevail over justice, darkness will not last long, and there will always be light in the world!"①
It's a very simple truth, almost a cliché, but when Chu Liuxiang said it, it became magical. It's no longer a rigid dogma, but an iron law of the world.

"What do you want to do?!" The man finally showed a panicked look on his face. He stepped back, looked around in panic, and shouted hysterically: "What are you all standing there for? Why don't you shoot him to death? You are standing far away, so he can't take your guns even if he flies!"

Seeing that no one moved, the man panicked even more. His years of experience in killing had given him a bad feeling. He turned around and ran back, grabbing a short girl with makeup on her face. He pulled out a gun from his waist and pointed it at the girl's head: "Put down the gun! Get out! Count to three, or I'll kill her! One..."

He was answered by the sound of a gunshot.

Blood splattered on the girl's face and she screamed in fear.

The man's head was smashed, half of his skull was shattered, only one eye was intact, and his eyes were full of fear.

Chu Liuxiang fired the gun himself.

In the place where he lived, situations like today happened almost every day and every moment. Killing someone was as normal and ordinary as eating and drinking for the people in the underworld. He had lived in this environment for thirty-five years. He had created a great reputation, but this was the first time he killed someone with his own hands.

Chu Liuxiang thought that he would never kill anyone in his life. Even before talking to the man, he had never thought that he would kill him with his own hands.

It's not that he doesn't dare, but human life is at stake. He doesn't think he can decide a person's life or death casually, even if that person is an unforgivable criminal.

However, the end of the world has come, and the violent institutions no longer exist. If the wicked do not die, how can ordinary people live? Who will convict the wicked? Who will judge?

So Chu Liuxiang decided to kill him.

——I will establish order, I will judge, and I will punish evil!

This was undoubtedly a heavy responsibility, a spiritual shackle, and a heavy burden. After Chu Liuxiang carried this burden, he immediately felt as if he could not breathe.

The corpse on the ground looked extremely miserable, and the one intact eye was still staring at him. Chu Liuxiang turned his eyes away and stopped looking at the corpse. He felt his stomach churning, his hands and feet were cold, and even the wound on his back was burning with pain.

There was silence in the auditorium for a moment, but soon it became chaotic. Some people were pinned to the ground, not knowing what to do, some screamed, some tried to escape in the chaos, and some had bloodshot eyes, hid in the crowd, and fired four or five shots at Chu Liuxiang's position!

How could Chu Liuxiang make the same mistake again? When the gunshots rang out, he disappeared, and his place became a thick wooden table for eating. The bullets hit the table, flashing a series of heart-pounding sparks.

One or two screams were heard from the crowd. Several people who had just fired the shots were already lying on the ground wailing, covering their arms or thighs, which triggered more sharp howls and cries.

A group of people rushed towards the door. In their eyes, the elusive Chu Liuxiang seemed more terrifying than the zombies outside.

The door was shut.

Chu Liuxiang stood at the door, trying his best to look kind, and at the same time, his tone of voice was unquestionable.

"I haven't finished what I want to do yet, please stay for a while."

No one dared to ask him what he was doing, because everyone looked at him as if they were some kind of monster instead of a human being, including the woman he rescued at the beginning.

"In today's world, it's already hard to survive. I don't want to kill anyone, and I don't want to see anyone die in front of me. But I said when I came here that I want the murderer to pay with his life, and the bully to pay the price. Now the main culprit has been killed, and several people have been seriously injured. I don't intend to care about more. I just hope that you can remember that in the end times, the survivors should stick together for warmth and work together to rebuild a safe home, not to satisfy the selfish desires of some people."

"Even though the world is difficult and chaotic, since we are born as human beings, we must never let ourselves become beasts. Humans are always much better than beasts. This is all I have to say. You should think carefully."

Chu Liuxiang finished speaking and cast his gaze towards the women present. As his eyes swept over them, a faint smile appeared on his face: "I can still accommodate a hundred or so people at my place for the time being. Is there anyone willing to go with me?"

After thinking for a while, he added: "I only take in humans, not wild animals for the time being."
