Chapter 339 Points Value
The radio broadcast another announcement:
"The arrest was successful."

"Ghost's current score is 7."

"The target score is 159."

"The trial continues."

……

Inside the Temple of the Seven Sins, Ah Qi nodded with satisfaction and said, "See! This is fair. No one has any immunity or right to suspend. Once the trial begins, it can only end with victory."

Mori Mu Yalan's eyes fell on the TV screen in the corner, and the camera was facing Yuan Yuzi's panicked little face.

After the broadcast sounded, she and Fujiwara Hō wanted to slip away, but Asahara Shoko obviously would not let them go easily. He brought the two of them into the auditorium and sat them together with many believers.

Senmu Yalan retracted her gaze and turned to glance at Ah Qi: "What's the difference between what you do and the crazy people in the cult?"

"We are more pure and treat everyone equally." Ah Qi said proudly.

"Then would you participate in this kind of trial? Just sitting here and watching, what's the difference between you and the Aum Shinrikyo?" Morimu Yalan scolded coldly.

"of course."

Ah Qi paused and added: "Of course we will participate."

Hearing this, Morimu Yalan cursed inwardly, she finally understood the difference between a designer and the Aum Shinrikyo cult - the former was crazier and more reckless than the latter.

Ah Qi leaned forward slightly, pointed at the screen, and continued: "Now Miss Yuzi has stayed. I won the bet. According to the agreement, you have to stay too..."

"Hey, did you forget something?"

Mori Mu Yalan crossed her arms across her chest. She also sat in the audience chair, crossed her legs, and the side of her high-slit dress revealed the lines of her fair and slender legs: "What I said before was: 'If no one stops her, she will definitely choose to leave'... Isn't this a prerequisite?"

"Oh!"

Ah Qi pretended to understand and said, "So, what you mean is that Miss Yuzi must make her own choice, right?"

Senmu Yalan nodded, but then she realized that there was a logical trap in this sentence: 'making your own choice' does not mean 'not being blocked'. She wanted to change her words, but saw Ah Qi clapping his hands, indicating that the bet was updated and the game continued.

As the two men talked in low voices, all the participants around them fell into panic - there was no cell phone signal, satellite phones were also interfered with, and no one could contact the outside world.

People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.

Without the guarantee of safety, after the excitement and novelty fade away, only the most primitive fear remains.

There is no emergency exit in the Temple of the Seven Sins, and the only way out is the elevator, but they pressed the button for a long time and there was no response.

At this time, the giant screen standing in the center of the square switched the picture.

「Rule Update」

「Participate in the trial to get points reward」

"Participants must redeem their points for 'tickets' before they can leave."

「The following is the points price list」

……

Senmu Yalan looked up and found that the most common items on the price list were strings of numbers. She couldn't help but ask what they were. Ah Qi explained, "Those are the participants' numbers... You are not considered a participant, so you are not on the list for the time being."

"What do you mean? Use points to exchange for human lives?" Senmu Yalan was confused.

"That's too vulgar, and it doesn't show the scarcity of points," Ah Qi shook his head and said, "Points are everyone's 'worth'."

As he spoke, he pointed to the screen. Currently, everyone's points were 0, except for participant number 9527, who had a score of 7. "Here, everyone starts from the same point. The higher the points you hold, the higher your worth."

"Oh, what's the use of being rich?" asked Senmu Yalan.

"I would like to say that people with high net worth can call the shots and do anything outside... but unfortunately, only on this island can we realize the utopia of equality for all."

Ah Qi rested his hands on his head and said, "'As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded'. This is the iron rule here. If you have enough points, you can buy the lives of other participants according to the price list... It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to start your life over again."

"What do you mean?" Senmu Yalan didn't understand.

“It means to replace it.”

Ah Qi pointed at a pot-bellied man in the crowd and said, "Did you see him? He is a current congressman. He is powerful and influential outside, and he must have a lot of stolen money. If you plan to buy his life with points, we will send people to torture him to find out the details of his life, and all his secrets will be revealed..."

"If you want, we can develop a weight-gaining plan, a cosmetic surgery plan, and a sex-change operation for you, so that you can completely change into his appearance and replace his original life."

"If you don't want to, that's fine. We can dig out his eyeballs, make a mold of his face, cut his fingerprints, and restore a real leather suit one-to-one. You can wear the human skin disguise or resell it to someone else."

"Of course, if you are in a high position and like beautiful bodies, and want to use points to buy a living person, it is not impossible. We can put a special collar on the person and keep him on the island. You can come anytime you want to play. No take-out." "It is worth mentioning that if you want to avoid being bought by others, you can only continue to participate in trials and gain points. After spending points, your value will decrease, and there is also the risk of being bought by others, so I suggest you spend rationally and don't spend all your savings on impulse."

……

After listening to his long speech, Senmu Yalan discovered a blind spot: "According to what you said, I am not a participant yet. Does that mean I can leave at any time?"

"Of course." Ah Qi nodded.

"How to leave?" asked Senmu Yalan.

"That's your business." Ah Qi teased.

The next second, Mori Mu Yalan pulled out the broken piece of milk can and pressed it against his throat. The sharp porcelain cut the skin and a drop of blood slid down his Adam's apple.

Ah Qi leaned back and quickly raised his hands to show his surrender; Senmu Yalan leaned over and interrogated him, asking him to lead the way and leave, but unexpectedly, this guy actually refused.

"I'm sorry, I'm a principled person. The game isn't over yet, how can I pay the bet in advance?"

"Your bet is the chips, not leading me out," Senmu Yalan grabbed the other person's collar and said coldly: "Besides, this is also part of the bet."

"Huh?" Ah Qi was stunned.

"There's no rule that I can't use violence," Senmu Yalan pulled him up and pushed him, saying, "Lead the way!"

"I can't leave. Didn't you see? The elevators are out of service." Ah Qi seemed to have given up.

"You're a designer, so you can always find a way," Senmu Yalan tried to sound more aggressive, and said viciously, "Otherwise, I'll chop off your fingers... For every five minutes you delay, I'll chop off one finger!"

"You are totally unreasonable..."

"Who's going to reason with you!" Senmu Yalan slapped him in the face.

"Don't force me. Believe it or not, I will resist..."

"Lead the way!" Senmu Yalan slapped him again.

"Hey! It doesn't hurt! I'm wearing a mask! I guess you hurt your hand?"

"Does it hurt?" Senmu Yalan threw an uppercut, pinned Ah Qi down on the chair, and punched and kicked him: "Does it hurt? Huh? Speak!"

"Beat me to death if you're brave enough! I won't leave even if you kill me!" Ah Qi shouted while holding his head.

After beating for a while, Senmu Yalan's hands were tired, and she leaned on the back of a chair to rest, panting. When she saw Ah Qi's true face, she realized that he was quite young, at least ten years younger than her, and quite cute. Seeing him, she had a cuteness aggression and couldn't help but kick him twice more.

Ah Qi was really fair and just. He didn't call for the bodyguards to leave, nor did he ask for help from others. He just took the beating and refused to agree no matter what.

Senmu Yalan had no choice. Even if she killed the man, it would not do her any good. Instead, she would lose a relatively reliable source of information... Ah Qi probably knew this, so he was so unscrupulous.

Seeing her stop, Ah Qi raised his head and asked, "Have you had enough?"

Morimu Yalan didn't say anything, so Ah Qi stood up, dusted himself off, straightened the collar of his suit, and put on his mask again with great pride: "Everything is as I expected!"

"..."

"Don't stare at me like that. You can't do anything to me. This is the difference in intelligence. Do you understand? Violence alone cannot solve all problems."

Ah Qi sat back in the chair, pointed his finger at his temple, said a few words, and then invited Senmu Yalan to continue watching TV. His actions and tone were just like a child inviting his friends to watch his favorite cartoon together.

Senmu Yalan sat back in her original seat, thinking about how to leave.

She knew in her heart that with her own abilities, she would definitely not be able to save Yuan Yuzi and the others, and it would be good enough if she could not be a drag!
She couldn't help much by staying here, and could only escape and call for help.

The TV screen was still playing the surveillance footage. After confirming that they could not leave, everyone calmed down and began to watch the trial and learn from the experience.

They are the elites among the elites, and have realized the role of points. Risks and opportunities coexist, and they can make their first pot of gold while other participants are worth little - and the "ghost" on the TV is currently the participant with the highest points.

The camera focuses on the auditorium, where the core members of the cult have already gathered. Most of them do not take this trial seriously, including Asahara Shoko himself. He is still worried about investors withdrawing their capital and does not care about the "ghost" that catches people.

"This is outrageous! Only Mr. Asahara can be the leader!"

"That's right! The leader is a person favored by the true God!"

"I am only loyal to the leader in my life! If the pagans dare to seize the position of leader, they will have to step over my dead body!"

Asahara Shoko relayed the original words of the investor and asked his subordinates for their opinions. The auditorium suddenly became a performance meeting. All the backbones were filled with righteous indignation, and some even cried and said things like "I can't live without the leader" and "The leader is the real sun of this world"...

The surveillance camera captured it clearly. Several key members were sitting in Asahara Shoko's blind spot. They couldn't help grinning for a moment, but then they realized something, quickly restrained their smiles, and forced out a few tears.

“Master… wuwuwu…”
