There is no fear more intuitive and more shocking than this.
There were a few guys present who were planning to revolt, but they stopped their thoughts and sat back down. They felt as if they had collapsed. Their faces were pale, their bodies were trembling, and they were surrounded by endless fear. got them.
There was also a thankful thought that surged through my heart repeatedly. Fortunately, fortunately, that guy took the lead and became the scapegoat.
If I were just one step faster than that unlucky thing, the flesh and blood residue stuck on everyone's faces would be 100% my own.
The scene suddenly became extremely quiet, and even the gasps of fear were deliberately suppressed, as if they were afraid that breathing too hard might lead to death.
This is what Jiang Yue wants.
He glanced around calmly: "Who else?"
This look didn't look sinister, but it was particularly intimidating given the situation in front of him.
Some timid people have been scared to death. He fell to his knees with a plop and shouted: "I surrender."
"I surrendered too."
"Surrender, surrender, please forgive me and not kill me."
Plop, plop, a large area fell to their knees in the blink of an eye.
There were a total of twenty-four people in the six gates. Apart from the unlucky guy who exploded, there were twenty-three people. Sixteen people knelt down on the spot. The remaining seven people were slightly braver. Although their faces were pale, they were also He was shocked and confused, but he still did not kneel down and reluctantly sat on the chair, as if there was a war between heaven and man in his heart.
Is he going to rebel violently, or is he surrendering?
Or it may be a case of hypocrisy and compromise, and stabilize the other party first.
Jiang Yue said to the prisoners No. 3 and No. 5 beside him: "There are seven more brave ones. Remember their faces. Let's enter the next round of the game."
Next game round?
The seven people were confused and looked at Jiang Yue in confusion, vaguely feeling that something might be wrong.
There seems to be some conspiracy.
"Introduce the situation to them, and tell them our attitude towards the recalcitrants." Jiang Yue ordered prisoners No. 3 and No. 5.
"Everyone, first of all, I have a piece of news for you. The wizard has been killed by this big boss of the human camp."
What?
The wizard has fallen? Is this person from the human camp? Has the human camp actually invaded the guardian formation?
These two consecutive big news shocked all the six volunteers present. They had always thought that it was the Zhenmen people who were doing harm to them and plotting against them, but they didn't expect that it was actually the human camp!
"Everyone has defected to the Strange Tree. Many of them may not be willing to do so, right? Many of them are forced to do so, right? Now, the human boss will show mercy and give you a chance to turn back."
"There's only one chance."
"If you can't catch me, or are uncooperative like the guy just now, you should all know the lessons from the past."
"Yes, don't doubt it. This big boss wants to kill you all, just in the blink of an eye."
After saying this, the seven guys who didn't kneel down suddenly felt uncomfortable sitting on their chairs. My butt is as awkward as if there were needles sticking into it.
They don't kneel because these guys are the kind of people with unruly personalities who are easily unwilling to compromise. They are the kind of people with relatively hard bones and high spirits.
But having a high heart does not mean that there is no fear of death.
The impact of the way that guy died just now was too strong. The bloody and fleshy residue of the explosion was still on his face, the residual warmth was still there, and the fishy smell had not been washed away.
Lessons from the past?
This made the seven people somewhat trembling. But it would be too shameful to kneel down at this time. I was a little undecided for a while.
"Boss, these die-hards seem to be reluctant. Boss, please give me permission."
Jiang Yue nodded: "Seven, killing four is not too much, right?"
Prisoner No. 3 hurriedly said: "It's not too much at all. Your Majesty is kind-hearted. In fact, these die-hards should be killed."
The faces of the seven people suddenly turned dark, and two of them immediately slipped from their chairs and fell to their knees.
"Boss, wait a minute, I'm going down too."
"I surrender too, please forgive me, boss."
When the other five people met, they were already somewhat vacillating and became even more unsteady.
However, Jiang Yue obviously would not give them another chance.
Killing is not the essence, but killing to establish authority is very necessary for these guys.
"Old rules, vote." A strange and cold smile emerged from the corner of Jiang Yue's mouth.
When the four prisoners in Zhenmen heard about the vote, the psychological shadows from before could not help but reappear. But they soon became excited.
This time they are no longer the ones suffering, they can watch the fun as bystanders, which is like seeing the mentality of a funeral director who is not afraid of big funerals.
Soon, the rules were made clear.
The seven people who do not kneel down and surrender at the first time will be selected for four places, and these four places will be executed!
This time it was made clear that the four selected people would be killed.
The people who voted were the sixteen people who had knelt down and surrendered immediately.
The two people who had knelt down and surrendered before seeing an unexpected opportunity were not pardoned and were still included in the voting list.
The two people couldn't help but beg: "Boss, we have already surrendered, why are we included?"
"Yes, boss, we were obsessed with things before, but we have come to regret it. Now we are sincerely trying to bring order to the chaos and return to the human camp. Please give us a chance, boss."
Pleading obviously doesn't work.
Their little cleverness can only increase Jiang Yue's resentment.
"If you say any more, we will put them on the must-kill list first, and then choose two of the remaining five."
After saying this, the two of them immediately shut up, but they were wailing in their hearts. If they had known it, they would have knelt down earlier. So many people have surrendered, and it is not embarrassing, so why bother to save face.
Now it's better, 4 out of 7, and the probability of winning is more than 50%, which is simply terrible.
But they really didn't dare to say anything more. If someone really put the two of them on the must-kill list, it was a 100% chance. It’s also giving others a free advantage.
The sixteen people who were the first to kneel down and beg for mercy and surrender were all secretly grateful at this moment.
At this juncture, as long as the person who dies is not you, what does it mean to vote? You won’t feel tired after investing all day long.
Some people even find it particularly exciting and energetic. Even getting excited about being able to decide the life and death of others.
They are from the same sect but not from the same sect. They are strangers to each other in the first place. It is just because the strange trees are put together. People from the same sect are more or less acquaintances. They are not from the same sect, and they don't even know each other very well.
In this case, who would have any sympathy?
Moreover, the current situation is very clear, and we must be honest and uncooperative. Those who don't cooperate will surely end badly.
The voting began, and the seven guys were sitting on pins and needles, like condemned prisoners on the execution ground, waiting for the moment when the axe-hand chopped them off.
It’s not like no one among these seven people thought of resisting.
But this idea has come up, but it is just an idea after all, and no one can really muster the courage to take action.
Firstly, they asked themselves that they were not capable enough, and even if they resisted, they would probably die. Secondly, the way the man died just now was too scary, and if they resisted, they would probably end up with the same fate.
Of course, the most important point is that if seven people shoot four, doesn’t that mean there are three left? Although the probability of survival is less than 50%, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Until the last moment, who is willing to be the first to jump up and resist?
It was precisely these many factors that led to the fact that although these seven people were dominated by fear, they never rebelled.
The voting process is not complicated, and the voting results will come out soon.
The faces of the four people who were hit suddenly turned pale, while the three people who were lucky enough to escape the net had happy expressions on their faces, and their moods could be described as ice and fire.
"Congratulations to you three, you can sit over there."
Jiang Yue pointed to the sixteen surrenderers. The three of them smiled happily and swooped into the group of surrenderers as if they were afraid that Jiang Yue would regret it.
The four selected people looked at each other, their eyes filled with despair and resentment.
One of them shouted: "I don't accept it, this is not fair at all!"
"Why should I let these bastards decide my life?"
"I don't believe that in Master Shuzu's territory, we can still be manipulated by mere humans?"
"You useless weaklings, betraying Master Shuzu and living an ignoble existence, do you really think you can survive?"
The four people seemed to have the same mind and rushed out the door one after another.
But this time, Jiang Yue did not let them explode. Instead, he slowly shot out the divine light and locked the four of them.
Every move of the four people had actually been predicted by Jiang Yue, so as soon as they started to flee, they were shot by Jiang Yue's slow divine light and fell to the ground.
The limbs of the four people suddenly became extremely slow, even slower and more comical than the sloth's movements.
This is another method that shocked those who surrendered.
This is all some weird magic. I didn't even see how the other party used it. Why are these guys suddenly unable to move freely?
"Since you have surrendered, isn't it too much to hand over a certificate of surrender?"
"These guys, I leave it to you. One stab for each of them, isn't that too much?"
Killing someone with a borrowed knife is not Jiang Yue's purpose. What Jiang Yue wants is to cut off all escape routes for these guys.
Lest they have any unrealistic illusions.
Having their hands stained with the blood of their companions means they have no way out.
After surrendering, these people actually understood that the moment they knelt down and surrendered, they had lost their way out.
At that moment, someone was the first to jump out and express his determination: "I'll go first."
After saying that, he walked up to the four people, picked up his personal sword, and stabbed one of them in the chest.
Soon there were guys who were not willing to be outdone and followed suit.
Puff puff, the knife pierced the fatal waist and abdomen.
After nineteen people took their turn, the four people had long since ceased to be human and turned into a pile of mud.
After killing their companions, the nineteen people knelt down in front of Jiang Yue again, expressing their determination to surrender.
Jiang Yue's face was indifferent, as if he was a judge.
"I'm sorry that some of you are still trying to be clever. Just now you each used a knife, and most of you aimed the knife at the vital point. This is good. I see your determination. But unfortunately, some people are still perfunctory with me, right? For people like this, I can only say that you have lost your chance of survival."
Someone in the team suddenly changed their expressions.
And those who were determined to use the sword naturally roared: "Who? Who is trying to be clever? Isn't this intentional to harm everyone?"
"If you want to die, take the initiative to stand up and don't drag everyone down! We sincerely return to the human camp anyway, and we are incompatible with you bastards!"
"That's right, who is it? Come forward for me!"
Before Jiang Yue could grab anyone, these surrenderers were in chaos.
There were a few guys in the crowd who looked a little unnatural, and they were quickly noticed.
Jiang Yue came to the corpse and said with a faint smile: "I don't want to accuse anyone unfairly. This wound is on the sternum to the right of the heart. And this knife avoided the kidney..."
Jiang Yue pointed out every opportunistic move he made. Every time he pointed out a sword, he glanced at the person who drew the sword.
With Jiang Yue's insight and photographic memory, he would naturally not wrong anyone.
Every time he pointed out a knife, someone's face would turn pale and their eyes would dodge.
Soon, these five people were picked out.
Jiang Yue sighed: "It turns out that your submission is just a word, and you have other plans in your heart."
"Let me guess, your so-called surrender is just a false shot. As soon as you get out of trouble, you will immediately notify the strange tree and rebel again, right?"
The five people stammered and their eyes wandered.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I don't know how to use a knife, and I'm not familiar with the structure of the human body. That stabbing was purely casual, and I had no intention of rebelling again."
"Yes, the boss can't doubt our sincerity with this knife."
"We are not convinced if our sins are punished in this way."
A trace of ridicule escaped from the corner of Jiang Yue's mouth, and he said to the others: "Can you accept their rhetoric?"
"Don't accept it!" someone shouted immediately.
"I think they are at the opposite end of the spectrum and have other plans. If I work with them, I'm worried that they will plot against me later."
"Yes, it is a small matter that they are plotting against, and it delays the big plans of our human camp, and it becomes a big deal."
Good guy, this guy is also a smart guy and has already started calling himself our human camp.
But who would have the heart to find fault with this at this time?
Jiang Yue smiled lightly and said, "Did you see it? Even your companions don't accept your statement."
The five people were naturally dissatisfied, and someone shouted: "I think you just deliberately want to kill people, and you don't sincerely want us to surrender."
"Killing to establish power, you have already killed four. Now it's five of us. What excuse will you come up with to kill others again. Anyway, I don't think anyone can escape in the end."
"In that case, you might as well kill us all in one go. Why do you have to be so pretentious?"
Not to mention, these guys were very eloquent, and their words made the people before them uneasy.
Jiang Yue smiled sarcastically: "I'm very eloquent, but my cleverness is too much. I want to kill people, why do I need to be pretentious?"
"However, there must be no restless elements left in the team. This is my responsibility to others. So, don't blame me for being cruel. If you want to blame me, blame yourself for being too clever."
