With the push of a button, you can get a million worth of gold bars without any liability.

The only possible consequence is that a stranger who he doesn't know will die unexpectedly in this world.

As long as such conditions are stated, I believe most people will say without hesitation after listening to them:

"I can press this button to explode!"

"Actually, I don't want money. I mainly like to push buttons."

"It's time to show off your real hand speed!"

"..."

Yang Yangyang also saw a lot of comments like this in the comment section of that movie.

Countless people are dying every minute and every second in this world. What does it matter if there are just one or two more?

The worst thing you can do is not be so greedy and just press it a few times less.

Of course, some people may just be telling a joke.

If this opportunity is really placed in front of them, they may not necessarily press it.

After all, people are always wary. Even if there is no danger and there is no need to take responsibility, when you see this pie-in-the-sky thing before your eyes, you will inevitably have some doubts.

For example, is this a bomb detonation button.

Or after pressing this button, will I be cursed by some kind of devil?

Of course, there will be a small number of people who are sincerely kind and unwilling to press it, but the number of such people will definitely be quite rare.

What Yang Yangyang needs to look for is this kind of person.

Yang Yangyang knew that such a move would greatly increase his workload, but he did not regret doing so.

He always feels that the most important thing for a person is his character and principles. If he can even discard his own principles, then after gaining power, he may gradually expand and lose himself.

Since ancient times, Xia has used martial arts to rebel against the ban. Yang Yangyang is currently the oldest person in the Light Blue Department. He does not want such a thing to happen to the Star Alliance, especially he does not want such a person to be recruited into the organization by himself. .

At this time, Zhang Nan faced a major test in her life.

After being guided by the mysterious voice at the beginning, she basically believed what was happening in front of her. That seemingly ordinary little button could really bring her immeasurable wealth.

But she didn't do that. She just sat on the chair and looked at the red button on the table with some helplessness.

The reason why this happens is very simple.

That means she doesn't want to kill anyone.

Zhang Nan is a very delicate and beautiful girl. There is a saying that good looks come from the heart, but in fact this is a Buddhist saying, "Collected Treatises of Zunpo Xumi Bodhisattva", with some fantasy colors. .

But in fact, the opposite is true. The true scientific statement should be that the mind is born from each other.

In other words, a person's heart is determined by his appearance.

According to the observations of scientists, when a person has an ugly face, the way he acts will naturally be more inclined to the no-taboo type.

Quite a bit like "I'm so ugly, wouldn't spitting everywhere be appropriate?"

And a very beautiful person will subconsciously avoid similar actions before doing some low-quality behavior.

This is also because of the logic of "too beautiful, spitting does not match my appearance".

Moreover, good-looking people are often praised by others and receive more preferential treatment in life. These also gradually change their personalities and habits, making them appear more confident.

In the same way, ugly people will feel more inferior because of unfair treatment by others.

Therefore, appearance will really affect a person fundamentally.

From a biological point of view, men want to work hard and find a beautiful wife, thereby changing the genes of the next generation. This is also to make their children's lives more open. It cannot simply be said to be lustful, but It is a biological instinct.

Of course, these can only be said to be statistical results based on big data, not all.

There are also some ugly people who are kind and have high qualities, and among the beautiful people, there are also many people who are like snakes and scorpions.

After all, there are too many factors that affect a person's personality, and one cannot judge by appearance alone.

But the protagonist of this recruitment, Zhang Nan, is a typical representative of a person with a beautiful heart and a kind heart.

In her opinion, no matter whether the button in front of her is real or fake, there is no benefit in pressing it.

If it is fake, then there is no need to press it. On the contrary, you may even suffer pranks from some roommates and best friends.

But if it were real, wouldn't he be killing someone once he pressed it?

Regardless of whether the person knows it or not, and in what manner he dies, it is all caused by himself.

Therefore, she was absolutely unwilling to press it.

Of course, these are only one of the reasons, but there is actually a more important reason, that is, Zhang Nan is actually an orphan.

The place where she lived once suffered a huge natural disaster.

Both her parents died in the disaster, and in the end she was the only one left trapped in the collapsed house, unable to see the light of day.

In the end, it was the disaster relief soldiers who dug her out, and kind people donated money to her. Only then did she grow up safely and study until she graduates from a key university.

For this, Zhang Nan has always been grateful.

She is grateful for everything this society has done to her and those who have saved her.

Therefore, for such a girl, she would never press the red button no matter what, even if she would miss a huge opportunity because of it.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Nan looked away from the button. His whole body seemed to have been relieved of some kind of burden, and he suddenly felt an indescribable relief all over his body.

She found an exquisite cosmetic box from the drawer. She carefully put the red button into the box, closed the lid, and carefully pulled the lock. The whole process was extremely cautious, for fear of touching the button.

Yang Yangyang was hiding aside, watching her actions with some curiosity. He had vaguely guessed what the girl was going to do next, and there was a trace of surprise and expectation in his eyes.

He was really in disbelief now.

I originally thought that with my current test method, it would be very difficult to find someone who could pass it.

For this reason, he was even prepared for setbacks.

What I didn't expect was that I had just started to officially implement it, and I suddenly met a girl like Zhang Nan.

She is just an orphan and does not have a luxurious family background. It is really incredible that she can not be tempted by such huge benefits.

Following the girl out of the dormitory door, the two came to a small forest in the school one after another.

Taking the small shovel borrowed from the man outside the door, Zhang Nan began to dig a hole under a big tree.

She wanted to bury this small box. Since it would kill innocent people, if she didn't use it, she couldn't let others get it.

Zhang Nan is not stupid. If she can be admitted to such a university and successfully complete graduate school, she is naturally very talented.

She is well aware of the power of this thing and its temptation to people's hearts.

I don't want to see innocent people die miserably, so if I let others get it, it will inevitably lead to the same result.

Other methods were unreliable. Whether it was handed over or destroyed, it might lead to unpredictable results, so she simply decided to bury the thing once and for all.

Of course, this burial method is definitely not perfect. This is just a temporary burial spot for her. She plans to wait until she leaves school in a few days, return to her hometown, and bury this thing in an inaccessible mountain. .

The reason why I buried it in the picture now is because I was afraid that my roommate would accidentally find it and press it down.

Secondly, I am worried that I have been living with it day and night these past few days, and will eventually be unable to withstand the temptation and make a big mistake.

Zhang Nan majored in science, and his physical fitness was not that good. After digging under the big tree for a long time, he finally dug a small hole less than thirty centimeters deep.

Just as she was about to put the box in, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her. The sudden movement startled her.

Standing up hurriedly and hiding the box behind him, Zhang Nan watched the figure walking out of the woods with vigilant eyes.

She looked at the man in strange clothes in front of her with some confusion, and began to murmur in her heart.

"Why is this person dressed so strangely? Is he a junior from the COS club in school... No, no, no, I have to leave quickly and hide this box again!"

When Zhang Nan was thinking this, he saw the man walking straight towards him. It was obvious that he was coming towards him.

This scene immediately made her feel a little uneasy, like a little thief who stole for the first time, her heart was filled with tension.

"He, when did he come...did he discover the secret of this box? Oh my God, what should I do..."

Yang Yangyang moved very quickly, and in the short time it took for the girl to think about it, he was already in front of her.

Before the latter could react, he reached out his right hand and already had the small red button in his palm.

"Ah! You, what are you doing! Return the things to me quickly!"

the girl said angrily.

Yang Yangyang was in a happy mood, glanced at her with a half-smile, and then deliberately stretched out a finger to press the button.

Seeing this, Zhang Nan suddenly screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Be careful! You, you, you... don't press it! That's a landmine, it will explode if you touch it randomly!!"

Yang Yangyang was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this girl would make up such a weird excuse to deceive him from touching the button.

The little button in front of me doesn't look like a mine.

He smiled and said teasingly:

"Oh? Since it's a landmine, shouldn't it be handed over to the government? What do you want to do by burying it here? Do you want to trick your ex-boyfriend into coming here and blow him up?"

Zhang Nan was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She took advantage of the other party's conversation to suddenly attack, trying to get the things back by surprise.

But how could her movements be so fast that Yang Yangyang, who was a transcendent person, was easily dodged by him.

"I, I don't have an ex-boyfriend! Don't touch it. This thing is very dangerous. If you mess with it, you will really die!!"

She wasn't lying. In her perception, this thing was indeed like a Pandora's box. As long as she pressed it, even she had no confidence that she could suppress the devil deep in her heart.

However, Yang Yangyang didn't seem to be affected by her warning. He pressed the button in front of the girl with a little force of his fingers.

"don't want!"

Zhang Nan screamed, covering his eyes and squatting on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, there was a period of silence.

Zhang Nan knew that the person in front of him must have discovered his secret, otherwise he would not have come directly to the small box.

Maybe when he was talking to the mysterious person, he happened to be overheard by the other party.

She felt extremely regretful. Maybe she should have been more decisive and destroyed the box.

It's just that it's too late to say anything now. Things have already happened. If the box is real, then another person may have died because of it.

He may be the son of a certain mother, the father of a certain child, the husband of a certain wife, or the backbone of a certain family.

He may also be a hero who has put out fires, a soldier guarding the border, or a doctor who is saving people.

Maybe in the eyes of others, it is just an insignificant number "1".

But in the eyes of those close to him, this is their heaven and everything to them.

But now, such a vivid life has disappeared, and all that is left in exchange is the gold bar lying on the ground.

A gold bar, in exchange for a human life, is this kind of transaction worth it?

This is a bloody gold bar!

Can he really use it with peace of mind?

And this is just the beginning.

There were tears in Zhang Nan's eyes.

She had already seen the gold bar lying quietly on the ground in front of her.

This means that everything I have experienced is real!

The mysterious man didn't lie to himself. The small box with buttons in front of him was really a Pandora's box.

Likewise, this also made the last bit of luck left in her heart disappear.

"Haha, it is indeed a good thing. Do you want it? As long as you help me keep the secret, I can give you countless gold bars. How about it?"

Yang Yangyang's bewildering voice came over.

Zhang Nan raised his head and looked at the man in front of him angrily.

Although she wanted to resist and snatch the box back.

But she also knew that judging from the agility shown by the other party just now, she was no match for him at all.

And he seemed to be in a very dangerous situation.

Faced with such endless wealth, if you don't agree to the other party, no one knows what he will do.
