Chapter Wushi II: What is the price?
At this time, No. 4's face turned red, his lips were trembling involuntarily, and he seemed to be spitting out something in his throat, but was stopped abruptly.
The puppet was lying on his side on his seat, his eyes were distracted, and he raised his hand, with a hint of laziness in his tone: "Then, let's start voting... I believe you don't need to hold a vote.
Excellent argument.”
"No! How, how can it be possible!" No. 4 seemed to be going through a series of struggles, "I'm obviously innocent! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't! No. 1! It's this man, yes! It's this man -"
"Noisy." Houston sneered, "A real man has to be responsible for his own actions, you know. Besides...my purpose...has not been achieved."
"It's you!" No. 4's eyeballs were protruding and bloodshot, with a ferocious look on his face, "You've harmed all of us!"
"Wait a minute!" Barbatos seemed very happy with this situation, but he had to stop this unreasonable man. "Back to the original topic, I always feel that everything that needs to be said has been said before.
, there is no need to argue..."
"If it weren't for your own trouble, we might not have found any clues." Sheldon said coldly, "This is your own problem, no wonder others, there are obviously still remaining guest rooms and time, but you have to choose
This is a way to exit early."
"We will not forgive." Martin blinked and said loudly, "You deserve it."
Bang! A bunch of pale lights hit everyone's heads, then a second beam, a third beam... Just like last time, scattered light tubes slowly stretched out from nowhere,
Finally it hovered in mid-air. Except for No. 4, everyone's eyes were cold.
This represents a rupture of trust between everyone. An alliance has become undesirable. Of course, the relationship between Sheldon and Merlin is still as close as before. After all, this is his son.
"It's not fair! Why do you have to suffer this! You will die too, you will all die, and it will be more painful than me!" No. 4's voice was already hoarse, and the voice in his throat was intermittent. He was sweating profusely, and his hands were
Holding the wooden handle tightly, he kept spitting out some curse words, "It's all him, it's him! It's not me!"
"Then -" Barbatos's eyes flashed red, he clapped his hands, and the white light above his head gradually dimmed, turned yellow and rotten, "let's start making a decision and choose one person to be the murderer you think.
.”
"No! No! Don't choose!" No. 4 shouted loudly. He looked feebly at the pointed fingers of everyone around him, "You! You will all--"
"——Okay, okay, everyone has made their choice, right?" Barbatos waved his hand, and the same light curtain as before appeared on the trial stage, "Then we will unveil it?"
[Congratulations everyone! The murderer in this case is: No. 4]
Number 4's eyes widened with anger, and he watched helplessly as purple runes flashed out of thin air and surrounded him. He wanted to do something, but the magic light that appeared in his eyes was suddenly drowned and disappeared.
"So, everyone's views are surprisingly consistent... no forgiveness." Barbatos' voice was frivolous, like an ant looking down at the soles of his feet, "Please enjoy, the execution moment...
"
[Fire wrapped in spider silk]
"You all go away - ugh!!" Although there was nothing in front of him, No. 4 felt as if he was wrapped in something! From top to bottom, from his mouth to his throat, and then from his chest to his waist and abdomen, it was wrapped around him.
Finally, keep your legs tightly together.
In an instant, all the white lights turned into a dazzling red. When everyone was dazzled, their bodies involuntarily spread out from the center of the trial platform, automatically clearing up a large area for No. 4.
The space trembled, and the red light flying all over the sky gradually turned from bright to black, and finally turned into chaotic filth. No. 4 was horrified to find that no matter how hard he struggled or howled, he could not shake off the silk threads wrapped around him.
The magic power was somehow squeezed into little bits of gray dust, slowly leaking out from the gaps in the threads.
However, in the eyes of others, No. 4 was just suspended out of thin air. Looking at his frightened and twisted face and the angry eyes, Merlin seemed a little confused.
"Obviously there is nothing, why can't he even say a word..." Merlin muttered quietly, looking at Sheldon aside, "What is he doing?"
"I... don't know." Sheldon frowned, he also had no idea what this was all about.
Bang! Barbatos, who was floating on the high platform, raised his hands calmly, snapped his fingers, and a red light suddenly lit up. The area around No. 4, which was originally empty, was suddenly filled with shiny silk threads, and the silk threads appeared out of thin air and spun.
Tangled, I don’t know what color it is under this heart-stopping red. And No. 4 itself is wrapped in the center, twisting its body crazily.
"Uh--! Uh-huh--!" No. 4 also just discovered this scene, and he was even more frightened. The magic power around him poured out, but it dissipated powerlessly. In the end, big beads of blood welled up from the corners of his eyes.
Large teardrops slowly dripped down along the red-dyed spider silk, and finally hung at the bottom of the silk thread, unable to fall off.
Viewed from a distance, this is indeed like a spider web where the prey is tied tightly and cannot escape no matter what. No matter how hard No. 4 struggles, he cannot pull his body out half an inch. He seems to be trapped in
The more the drowning person struggled in the mud, the more he fell down and couldn't pull it out. No matter how he screamed and asked for help, those threads had no room to give in. On the contrary, they became tighter and tighter.
It's so boring...so boring! No...No. 4 wants to use a little more strength, but the surrounding waves of silk threads that are stronger than the last wave will not let him do so at all. Now
His body had been squeezed into a ball, and it was impossible to move.
His eyes rolled up, and the great pressure from his chest made it difficult for him to breathe. The pain from around his body also made him almost unconscious.
In the eyes of others, round after round of silk threads were still wrapping around the big cocoon, but it had not gotten any bigger. Sheldon's heart shuddered, silently thinking about how much pressure No. 4 would bear.
.
Consciousness... is almost lost. No. 4 is in a semi-awake, semi-fuzzy state. He can only open his eyes slightly, vaguely feeling the impenetrable blackness in front of him. If he tightens his eyes a little more, he will
His lungs will not be able to squeeze in any air, his body will be starved of oxygen, his brain will stop thinking, and his consciousness will disappear.
No. 4 closed his eyes and waited quietly.
However, this was not what he expected. Even the people watching at the scene frowned slightly, because the silk thread suddenly stopped winding, and under the red light, a large cocoon hung out of thin air, with small handfuls
The silk thread is connected to the boundless abyss above the head, which cannot be seen or invisible.
The fire wrapped in spider silk cannot survive without fire.
Poof! The whole space was shaking violently! The blazing flames were like a huge and unbridled monster, mercilessly swallowing up the large milky white cocoon in the air.
"Ah - ah!!" The scream from the cocoon was even louder than before. It seems that human potential is unlimited. Hope is generated in certain despair, and finally this hope is twisted into
More decisive despair will bring greater pain.
"Tsk tsk..." Houston smacked his lips sanctimoniously and turned to Merlin with a warm smile on his face, "This man shouldn't be mean, especially his mouth, otherwise he will be burned to death. Do you understand?
,kid?"
"I know!" Before Sheldon could stop him, Merlin immediately replied with a smile, "Uncle is great!"
"Number 13...ignore him..." Sheldon looked embarrassed and rolled his eyes at Houston, "Indeed, so you have to pay attention too."
The screams continued, and the timid No. 8 was so frightened that transparent tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he whimpered softly. His face was pale, making people feel like he would faint in the next second.
No. 4 always felt that his body was about to vaporize. He wanted to pass out but couldn't. The burning pain all over his body did not paralyze his nerves. On the contrary, he got a better posture. After the skin was peeled off, there was still flesh, but the flesh was rotten.
There are tendons, and when the tendons are broken, there are bones, and when there is bone marrow, there is even deeper bone marrow... From the outside to the inside, it goes deep layer by layer, but this damn silk thread is so strong, why is it even in such a fire?
Not even half melted?
"Ah——!" No. 4's scream has become thinner and turned into a small flame that jumped out of the flames, but was immediately engulfed by more blood-red flames.
The pain... it hurts so much... it's more unforgettable than having my whole body broken into pieces. It's like... I've been squeezed into juice alive. But why am I still alive?
The fire stopped.
People, but not dead.
After the extreme heat, all that is left is the dead coldness.
No. 4's eyelids have been rolled up from the heat, and his left eye has fallen out of his socket. His eyelids have been rolled up and shrunk from the heat, and his tears have dried up.
Huh... He exhaled a mouthful of ash-laden air. This ash was the embers turned into by everything in his body.
Click! It was too late, but it was faster than that. All the lines in the air seemed to have lost control, and they straightened as fast as the naked eye could observe, until this big cocoon turned into a perfect sphere.
The lamp fell. Thick blood seeped out from the cocoon made of dense silk threads, dripped to the ground, and quickly solidified.
Merlin's eyes had long lost the original fear and panic.
"Are you okay?" Nightmare asked Marquez again.
"It's okay." Merlin blinked and replied. His eyes were sometimes blurred and sometimes focused.
"Then..." Sheldon didn't know what to say at this moment. He was only filled with guilt and nothing else.
Houston once again preemptively rejected the possibility of leaving, earning everyone's glare.
But...if there were no Houston, would everyone choose to sacrifice one person and go out...
