After Feng Sheng's round of games, the shadow that the Island Master had brought to everyone was getting bigger and bigger. Gradually, it formed an irresistible impression.
Moreover, after seeing Feng Sheng's death, it was estimated that no one would take the risk for the time being. After all, if they stayed in their place, they could at least wait for rescue and find other ways to leave. If they took the risk and killed someone, it would be fine if they were not found. If they were found, no one wanted to experience Feng Sheng's ending again.
The next morning, the island master's broadcast rang again. However, this time, the island master's broadcast wasn't to wake us up and tease us, but to talk about serious matters.
" According to the rules of the game, I will give a reward to the person who contributed the most. The reward may be random or specific. In the previous round, An Haoxuan contributed the most, so the reward for this round will be given to An Haoxuan. Let's give him a round of applause.”The Island Master's words didn't receive any applause. Everyone's gaze was on me. I was also very curious about the Island Master's reward. Thinking about the huge reward for opening the third level, what kind of reward would the Island Master give out in this round of the game? As for the Island Master calling out my name, I wasn't surprised. We had already proved that the Island Master was constantly monitoring our every move, so it wasn't strange for him to know my name.
"The reward this time is that An Haoxuan and the others will be exempted from the punishment.”However, the reward given by the Island Master was beyond everyone's expectations.
"What punishment? I didn't do anything wrong.”I was a little baffled. I clearly didn't do anything, but I was punished for no reason.
"You have damaged public property, so you will be punished. However, since you have successfully found the murderer, the punishment this time will be offset. If there is a next time, unless you can find the murderer again, you will die.”The Island Master's voice was filled with cold killing intent, causing everyone present to not dare to speak. It was only after a long time that the Island Master's voice was no longer heard that everyone heaved a sigh of relief. However, their backs were drenched in cold sweat. I could imagine that if the Island Master's nerves went wrong, it was completely possible that he would kill everyone present.
"An Haoxuan, what did you do? You wasted a good reward just like that. You might as well give it to me.”A person stood at the side and complained.
"Oh, if you're so capable, why don't you go find the murderer?”A girl looked at the complaining boy and retorted.
" Oh, I forgot to mention that An Haoxuan's damage to the public property is a little troublesome to repair. I'll just say it directly. After the third floor is opened, anyone who survives will be rewarded with ten million yuan. Of course, if you kill someone, you'll also be rewarded with ten million yuan. Then, I wish everyone here a happy game. Hahahaha." The Island Master's sudden voice shocked everyone present, and my heart was in my throat.
I didn't expect that the Island Master would actually announce this news. Moreover, he revealed the fact that I was hiding the news in front of everyone. Although I wasn't the only one hiding the news, I was clearly the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone's gaze was focused on me.
"An Haoxuan, why did you hide this information?”Someone started questioning me.
"Do you still need to say it? He definitely wants to keep it for himself. If we keep such a person alive, he will make a move on us sooner or later.”Some people started to fan the flames.
"We might as well kill An Haoxuan. That way, not only will we not have to worry about An Haoxuan attacking us, but we can also get 10 million.”Some people even started to have ideas about the 10 million yuan.
I looked at the restless people and my heart sank. I knew that once this news was exposed, it would cause chaos. However, I didn't expect that I would become the center of this chaos.
"Let me see who dares to make a move!" Wu Sheng stood in front of me. The class monitor, Xiong Diqing, and the others surrounded me. Even Lin Lin came over with a few girls. Xia Mengting also stood beside me.
"Haoxuan, I believe you. You must have your reasons for doing this.”Xia Mengting looked at me, her gentle smile almost melting my heart.
"Thank you, Mengting." There was a moment when I wanted to tell Xia Mengting about my feelings for her, but the current situation wasn't the time to do anything else.
"You don't have to thank me. If it weren't for you in these few rounds of the game, we might have already died. Therefore, if you want to thank us, you should be thanking us for trusting you.”
"I'm also doing this to protect myself. We're all in the same boat. In the future, I'll do my best to protect you. And everyone." Of course, this did not include those who repaid kindness with ingratitude. Only those who truly cared about me would be protected with everything I have. Whether those ingrates lived or died had nothing to do with me.
"If you protect him now, he might bite you back at any time. Why don't you kill An Haoxuan with us?”Some people were leading the way, while others were blinded by desire.
However, no one dared to make the first move. They were not in the city now. There were no laws or moral constraints here. Anyone who made a move could be killed. The two sides were in a stalemate.
"Listen to me. I didn't want to keep this news for myself, but I didn't want you to be tempted by the Island Master. Think about it carefully. After knowing that you could get a lot of money by killing people, could you still restrain your impulse? Even now, you might be hostile to the people around you. Once such a piece of information is seen by a certain person or a few people, it will not only bring about the death of one person. As long as we hide the clues better, we will face a disaster. "The murderer will continue to kill people during this period of time because every person he kills will be rewarded with 10 million yuan. Every person he kills is the money that ordinary people earn in their lifetime. Think about it carefully. What you will face is not a murderer, but the birth of a serial killer.”
I finished my sentence in one breath. Everyone was shocked, including those who were on my side. They might still have a trace of rationality in their hearts or their families were especially rich. However, no matter how rich a family was, they could not resist the temptation of money. If they were not moved by the temptation, it was only because the amount of money was not large enough. Money could make the world go round. This was not just a saying.#
