There is only a dark background in the picture of the flamingo, and you can barely tell that he is covered with a white cloth or sheet. No part of his body is exposed.

Flamingo Declaration: "What you like most is to play games live. Your favorite game is to kill everyone. I believe today's game will be very enjoyable for you."

The player in charge of the police live broadcast computer was Helen. Liang Xi took some black tea and sat near Helen with Bobby. The reason why Kent asked Liang Xi to return to Brighton was because Helen recommended asking Liang Xi to help him break through the level. Liang Xi was not interested in this type of game.

His curiosity lies in the identity of the flamingo.

Johnson is rich and well-connected, and there are many desperadoes in Europe. It makes sense for Johnson to hire people to transport Internet celebrities, install bombs, install cameras, and arrange everything. But if Flamingo also hires people, what is the point of Johnson kidnapping eight Internet celebrities?

?It's better to just hire thugs to kill them. Flamingo should be the person Johnson trusts and control the game according to Johnson's instructions. But Johnson is in the Fairy Tale Hotel, with police detectives around him, and his phone has been monitored. How can he pass on his instructions?

What about conveying it to flamingos?

The image of the flamingo appears on nine monitors, which are the surveillance videos of the police and eight hostages. The hostages have a number taped on their left and right shoulders and backs, representing their numbers.

The voice of the flamingo came: "Now the game starts. The first level of the game: three-minute voting. It is known that the police have learned the location where the two Internet celebrities were detained, and now they will vote. The voting rules are the top two with the highest votes.

If the Internet celebrities are already discovered by the police, they will die immediately. If the two Internet celebrities with the highest votes are not Internet celebrities who have been discovered, no one will survive the first level with no casualties, successfully gaining 15 minutes for the police.

Time. Turn on voice No. 1, No. 1, and you have 15 seconds to canvass votes from other hostages."

Number 1's horrified voice: "Please don't vote for me. There are policemen near me. Once I get the highest number of votes, I will definitely die."

Flamingo: "Open Wheat No. 2."

Number 2: "Don't vote for me, there are police around me."

Flamingo: "Open wheat No. 3."

No. 3 had time to prepare his lines and spoke very quickly: "Everyone, please listen to me. I swear to my mother that there are police around me and they have found me. Please don't vote for me. I have two children.

Please, I can’t die.”

So a very strange situation occurred. All eight Internet celebrities said that there were police around them, and they cursed and swore in various ways, hoping that other hostages would not vote for them.

Flamingo said: "Then the question and answer begins. You have 5 seconds to tell the number you want to vote for, otherwise the vote will be your own. Number one."

No. 1 said anxiously: "No. 9."

Flamingo: "Sorry, there is no number 9."

Number 1: "No..."

The flamingo said regretfully: "The time is up, No. 1 has one vote. No. 2 please answer."

No. 2: "No. 1."

Flamingo: "No. 3, please answer."

No. 3: "No. 1."

Bobby curiously asked: "Why did they all vote for number one?"

Liang Xi said on the side: "This is the smartest vote. If No. 1 votes for himself, it means that he is in danger of death. Others vote for No. 1, one reason is to protect themselves, and the other reason is to protect themselves.

It is to reduce the risk of hostages. The death rate of No. 1 is only 25%, so there is no need to add another person to bear the risk. The longer the hostages survive, the greater their hope of survival."

After speaking, it was time for No. 7 to speak, and No. 7 said: "No. 4."

Flamingo said, "Interesting choice, please choose No. 8."

No. 8 said angrily: "No. 7."

The flamingos applauded: "The time has come to reveal the answer to the mystery. Let's count down by 3, 3, 2, 1..."

After the flamingo finished counting, the screen of No. 4 was filled with snowflakes. The flamingo regretted: "No. 4 has left us forever. After a fifteen-minute break, we will start the second round of the game."

Liang Xi then clarified his doubts: "From their tone of voice, it seems that No. 7's vote against No. 4 was a personal grudge. No. 8's behavior was angered by No. 7 and dragged No. 7 to the execution platform. No. 7's irrational behavior will become

The public enemy of the hostages, if there is a vote next time, the person who will be eliminated will definitely be No. 7." There is no way, you can't make everyone so smart, you can't require everyone to be so smart all the time.

The policeman on the side hung up the phone: "Bomb No. 4 detonated. No police officers were injured or injured. It is confirmed that No. 4 is dead." In addition to No. 4, there is another person identified by the police as No. 3, because no one surrendered to him.

ticket, so he survived.

Liang Xidao: "If I guess correctly, the second round of the game is for netizens to vote. The first round is to hand the knife to the hostage, and the second round is to hand the knife to the netizens. One of the reasons why Johnson's wife committed suicide was cyber violence.

Seven will pay for his actions."

The job of Helen and Liang Xi is to prevent the hostages from dying as much as possible, clear the customs as much as possible, and buy as much time as possible. If the voting rights are given to netizens, one person will die, because there will definitely be netizens who vote.

Liang Xi wore a mask and waved to the camera. Flamingo turned on the No. 9 voice and asked: "Is something wrong?"

Liang Xidao: "You play games like this, which makes us police officers feel very uninvolved."

The flamingo asked: "What's your proposal?"

Liang Xidao: "Let's make a bet. If I win, you release a hostage. If I lose, you kill a hostage."

Flamingo: "You policemen are just supporting roles, just stay here." After that, the voice was cut off.

The police officer reported: "We found two more hostages, No. 1 and No. 2."

Five minutes later, the police officer reported: "We found two more hostages, No. 3 and No. 5."

In addition to the death of No. 4, the police have found five hostages 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8. Only the remaining 6 and 7 have not been found. On the other side, the technicians have good news and bad news. The bad news is the flamingo

The server used was hidden very deep. Technical staff were unable to locate the server location in a short period of time. The good news is that through the pictures and sounds, it was confirmed that No. 7 is not far from the train station, and the sun's shadow is currently being measured to obtain a more accurate location.

Liang Xi asked himself: "Where is No. 6?" The background of No. 6 is different from that of other Internet celebrities. The live broadcasts of other Internet celebrities can be seen outdoors. No. 6 is completely indoors and there is no noise. The indoors are very simple.

A shabby sofa, two white walls, a half-new refrigerator, and the ground is a slightly uneven concrete. It has no characteristics and no direction.

At the same time, No. 6 is different from everyone else. No. 6 is wearing a black sweatshirt, a hood, a mask and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Based on the elimination method, No. 6 should be the Croatian battle royale king Anderson.

However, because he was wearing loose and tight clothes and did not show his face, the police never confirmed his identity. He was also the only person whose identity the police could not confirm.

…

The case is currently in the hands of Assistant Director Downer, the top person in charge of the frontline police department of the Metropolitan Police Department. Downer immediately faces a very difficult problem. No. 7 will be found soon. Now let the second round of the game start, or give up 6

No. 6 to rescue other hostages? Or continue the game until No. 6 is found? Because the live broadcast of killings is particularly eye-catching, it has attracted the attention of officials from various countries. Many civilians have expressed disgust with live broadcasts of killings.

Faced with the problem of the orbital game, Donner is now under great pressure. He hopes to quietly ignore the game he is facing, but Flamingo has no intention of letting him go.

Flamingo: "Welcome back to the second round of the game. I will now report the specific situation. The police have successfully grasped the whereabouts of the seven hostages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8. Excluding the dead No. 4

, the police have the ability to cut off the signal together and defuse the bombs on the six hostages. The price is the life of hostage No. 6. But if they continue to play the game, other hostages who could have been rescued may die."

Liang Xi felt very bad, as if he was watching Johnson play an Internet celebrity festival. All events were proceeding according to Johnson's rhythm. Johnson and Flamingo were like prophets, fully prepared for what happened.

Flamingo said: "Since the British police are so incompetent, it is up to the mentally retarded netizens to decide. You can vote in the voting area of ​​the live broadcast website, and the hostage with the highest number of votes will die. The voting time is five minutes, and the timer starts. I am here

As a reminder, if everyone votes out No. 6, this hostage crisis will end. At the same time, don’t forget that it was No. 7 who killed No. 4. Is No. 7 to avenge No. 4, or to help the police?

No., how about resolving the hostage crisis? The power lies in the hands of you, dear brain-dead netizens, please vote."

Bobby asked in Liang Xi's ear: "Who will be eliminated?"

Liang Xidao: "No. 7. Judging from Flamingo's wording and attitude, what he hates most is not Internet celebrities or police officers, but netizens. It seems to be an extreme mentality that has been subjected to Internet violence."

Bobby said: "Every day, people suffer from online violence. Many trolls are not brainless, they just don't want to use their brains, and they don't care about the truth. For many people, it's enough to feel comfortable. For example, there is a video saying: A Northern Ireland man

Littering was stopped by the English, and Northern Irish people used violence and were beaten by the English. Netizens in Northern Ireland will make excuses for Northern Irish people littering, saying that the trash can settings in England are unreasonable. They will focus on attacking the self-righteousness of the English.

, there are verbal provocations, etc.”

Poppy said: "On the other hand, if an Englishman litters and is beaten up by a Northern Irishman, netizens in Northern Ireland will collectively applaud and spray the Englishman into a sieve. Internet violence includes various factors such as position and class."

There is considerable research on comparing network ecology.

Liang Xi entered detective mode. It is known that Johnson organized the Internet Celebrity Festival. It is known that Flamingo kidnapped eight Internet celebrities who participated in the Internet Celebrity Festival and Johnson's brother-in-law Jesse. The first question is, is Johnson related to Flamingo?

?Yes, there must be. There is a contradiction. The Internet Celebrity Festival organized by Johnson was stolen by the flamingo killing live broadcast. The Internet Celebrity Festival that attracted the most attention yesterday was deserted today. The question is: Why did Johnson want to hit himself?

’s signboard?

The second contradiction is that Johnson could hire someone to kidnap eight Internet celebrities with the cooperation of Jesse and arrange them. But is Flamingo the person hired by Johnson? It doesn’t look like that. In other words, there should be three Internet celebrity killers, Jay

West, Johnson and the Flamingos. Johnson will definitely participate in dominating the Flamingos game, and at the same time he also has to protect himself.

The biggest problem is that hostage No. 6 cannot be identified, and he is being held in a different location from the other hostages.

Based on all the clues, No. 6 should be the theme of Internet Celebrity Festival and flamingos. The question comes back, what is the meaning of Internet Celebrity Festival? Johnson can let all the Internet celebrities set off together, kidnap eight Internet celebrities midway, and then explain

Because an Internet celebrity disappeared, the Internet Celebrity Festival was postponed. Is it to mock the police? Is it to insult the Internet celebrity? Or is it just to prove that I am not a flamingo?

Currently, the Flamingos are attacking three camps, the kidnapped internet celebrity hostages, the police and the majority of netizens. In the case of Johnson’s wife’s death, all three camps are responsible. The most unjust ones are the internet celebrity hostages who became hostages.

The reason is that they had an affair with Johnson's wife, and the internet celebrity who broke the news about Johnson's wife's affair was also the King of the Battle Royale.

Therefore, Liang Xi believes that hostages are the least important camp. Since Johnson can hire people to kidnap, why can't he hire people to kill his wife's partner and the whistleblower? There are many answers to this question, maybe Johnson doesn't want to do anything to them for the time being.

Perhaps Johnson believed they were less responsible for his wife's death.

There are a large number of netizens, and they don't care about being used. Even if they are used, they don't feel ashamed. Even if Johnson uses their votes to kill a hostage, netizens will not feel any guilt. After all, netizens belong to the righteous camp.

So there is only one answer. The target of the flamingo is the police. Game No. 6 is the problem that the flamingo gave to the police. The flamingo did not deliberately hide the locations of the seven hostages, but only deliberately hid the location of the hostage No. 6. This is similar to the famous

The same type of rail game, and even worse. In the rail game, if you don't change the track, five people die, but you didn't kill those five people. If you change the track, you save five people and kill one person at the same time.

.

The flamingo's game is that if the railway track is not moved, the remaining 7 hostages will die. If the railway track is moved, only No. 6 will die and six people will be rescued. The police may build a new railway track during this period and find the hostage No. 6, then they can

Everyone is happy, and there is a possibility of luck. But betting on luck must use the lives of other hostages as chips.

Liang Xi was still thinking, and Flamingo spoke up: "It's time to vote, let's take a look at the votes. The third place is No. 1, congratulations on your escape. The second place is No. 6, the same

Congratulations. Number one is No. 7, who won a one-way ticket to hell with twice as many votes as the second place."

Flamingo said: "Next, we give No. 7 one minute to give his last words. By the way, the police are right next to No. 7. They have the ability to rescue No. 7, but they can only watch No. 7 turn into powder. Haha.

Ha ha!"

No. 7 was very excited after the votes were announced and kept shouting. After Flamingo opened his voice, everyone heard an extremely vicious curse: "Curse all those who voted for me to be abandoned by God. You and your parents and children will be

Go to hell with me. Every night when you fall asleep, you will see me crawling out of the soil and grabbing your neck, suffocating you, so that you will always remember my shattered face."

For one minute, No. 7 was very excited. He shouted at the top of his lungs and made hysterical accusations against all the netizens who voted for him. It was like a cold wind from hell, which made Liang Xi feel chilled. Then everyone saw him explode.

The camera was particularly good this time. It only shook a few times. No. 7 was missing in front of the camera, but there was a bloody corpse with many parts missing.
Chapter completed!
