Excessive ferocity due to caution

At this moment, Liu Ganzi, a player in the room behind Zhao Yi, was deathly pale.

He nearly despaired after learning that the person in the room in front of him was Zhao Yi!

Who is Zhao Yi?

He's a ruthless killer who doesn't even blink an eye!

If his options included chopping off the hands and feet of the person behind him, would he hesitate?

In other words, his toes really couldn't be saved.

Slumped to the ground, the man stared blankly at the third option.

Should I...do this myself?

His breathing suddenly became rapid.

If Zhao Yi were to chop off his toes, and he then chose to chop off his own fingers, the loss would be too great!

His parched throat felt like it hadn't been moistened by saliva in a long time; he kept swallowing, and his heart pounded even harder.

Otherwise, how about choosing the third option?

Anyway, I think everyone would choose this one, right?

Liu Ganzi sighed.

A bitter smile.

He felt it was wrong to harm someone behind him for no reason, but he didn't have the courage to cut off his own finger.

Therefore, Liu Ganzi chose option three.

do not care.

So be it.

He let out a long breath, trying to convince himself.

Soon, all the players had made their choices.

Only a very small number of people did not choose option three.

On the projection screen, after the countdown ended, everyone began to settle accounts.

Without exception, everyone had to cut off one of their toes.

The moment everyone picked up the knife, they were filled with fear.

When they swung their knives, their inner fear, catalyzed by pain, transformed into anger and resentment.

Why?

I have no grudge against that damn guy in front of me, yet he tries to harm me.

Why is he so selfish, blaming others for his own suffering?

At this moment, almost everyone reached the same ideological consensus—to resent the person in the room in front of them, and to be wary of, even fearful of, the person in the room behind them.

They were afraid that the people in the back rooms would find an opportunity to retaliate against them.

Of course, they also wanted to find an opportunity... to get revenge on the people in the room in front of them.

Zhao cut off his toe and entered the third room.

This time, no one was eliminated.

The red light in the room remained unchanged.

However, the game in the third room became increasingly... bizarre.

The task's projection screen still offers three options.

Option 1: Cut off one of your fingers.

[Option 2: Place your palm over the candle flame for 5 seconds]

Option 3: ??? (Hehe, you know what I mean)

This time, Zhao Yi made a very decisive decision.

The third option was not viewed at all.

He picked up the small knife on the table and heated it over the candle.

Do the same.

He cut off the ring finger of his right hand.

The reason why the ring finger was chosen to be cut first is because Zhao Yi uses the ring finger the least among all the fingers.

It is not as flexible and delicate as the little finger, nor as strong as the index and middle fingers, nor as wide-ranging as the thumb. Therefore, the ring finger is the least useful in comparison.

After treating his wound, Zhao Yi went to the coffee table in the corner of the room, sat down, and poured himself a glass of water.

Next... it's time to verify my second hypothesis.

...

Room 005.

"Grass!"

Zhang Xinzhi angrily cursed.

Another finger-cutting incident!

Another finger-cutting incident!!

He took a deep breath; the pain in his left hand and left foot was beginning to significantly affect his mood!

"No rush...no rush, there's a third option..."

Zhang Xinzhi stared at the third option, which was filled with question marks, and prayed inwardly, "It must be the one to deal with the person in the next room, it must be..."

Option 3: Chop off the hand of the player in the next room. (Hehe, this is no joke!)

"!"

The moment Zhang Xinzhi saw this option, her breath caught in her throat!

Chop...chop off the hand?

His expression froze, and his incredulous gaze slowly fell upon his palm.

The red light shone on his face.

It hit his eyes.

This made his fears nowhere to hide.

No way...

if so……

Zhang Xinzhi swallowed hard, and the sweat on his forehead slid down his nose and fell to the ground with a thud, startling himself!

He looked down and saw that the sweat on the smooth tiled floor had pooled into a small puddle.

Adorned with red light... it resembles blood.

His face was reflected in the blood.

Her face was also red.

He suddenly smiled.

Startled, Zhang Xinzhi screamed, took a half step back, bumped into the coffee table, and fell to the ground.

"Don't cut off my hand!!"

He screamed hoarsely at the front door, then got up from the ground and frantically pounded on the door, pressing his mouth to it and shouting loudly.

"Please!!"

"Don't cut off my hand!!"

He pounded on the door frantically until his hands ached before he came to his senses and realized that the room was completely cut off from communication; no matter what he did, the person on the other side of the door couldn't hear him.

But Zhang Xinzhi was unwilling to give up so easily.

He smashed the coffee table.

Then they used sharp shards of glass to scratch the walls and doors...

He worked until he was so exhausted that he collapsed to the ground, leaving no trace on the door or the wall.

"He definitely will...he definitely will cut off my hand..."

Zhang Xinzhi stared blankly at her reflection on the ground, her eyes glazed over.

The blood-red light, somehow, gradually entered his eyes.

"Then cut off the hand of that person in the back room too..."

"so……"

"Isn't that fair...?"

A strange sound suddenly entered his ears, startling Zhang Xinzhi. He looked around in terror and shouted:

"Who?!"

"come out!!"

"I would never do something so heinous!"

"I won't!!!"

He shouted at the blood-red world around him, appearing as if he were insane.

But he had unknowingly arrived in the mission area.

"I wouldn't do such a thing!!"

"I won't!!"

Zhang Xinzhi gritted her teeth and spoke loudly to the empty room.

It was a resounding statement.

then……

He chose the third option.

"I just want fairness."

Zhang Xinzhi laughed.

P.S.: If it were you, what would you choose? (I'm quite curious)

good night.
