41. Offering sacrifices
As expected, this addict always says something that seems so profound, but in fact most people seem very stupid.
But Wang Yao's opinion, this guy is simply a personal spoiler. He says something specious but very close to the truth.
"You mean there is danger in the lake?" Wang Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with interest.
"I just can't swim." Martin said something that made Wang Yao speechless, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the dazzling sun.
A little bit of coolness splashed on Wang Yao. Wang Yao looked over and Ke Te slapped the water and shouted, "Come down, friend, don't tell me you can't swim."
"I can't do it." Wang Yao replied with a smile. Although he was wearing a pair of underwear, he really had no plans to get into the water.
"Please, come down." The others in the lake also shouted.
"If you don't know, I can teach you." Julie gave Wang Yao a glamorous look at the dock. Her upright and streamlined body, coupled with her unique oriental appearance, is extremely lethal to women.
"Hey, I'm still there." Cote complained "unhappy". Anyone could hear the joke in his tone. After getting into the water, everyone's resentment that had been bumpy in the car for a whole morning was wiped out, and their mood improved one after another. They became familiar with Wang Yao, the consignee.
Dana went to invite Jesse, but unfortunately she shook her head and said she would not be able to refuse.
"Okay... Wang Yao had no choice but to trot a few steps and plunged into the lake.
As soon as he emerged, a wave of water sprinkled. Wang Yao fought back decisively. Everyone in the lake started to play.
Martin narrowed his eyes and smoked a cigarette, not knowing what he was thinking. At the dock, Jesse, who was kicking water, looked at the people playing with a smile.
Zhang Meng was very aware of the water and kept slapping into the bottom of the water, catching strange things. Seeing this, Wang Yao's pupils shrank, asking him not to do this again.
Who knows if what he caught next time would be the relics of the sacrificer of the wave?

Underground of the forest hut-console hall
"Engineer, someone has changed rooms. Scholars have changed from No. 4 to No. 2, Virgin 2 to 4. Did you hear it? We need to adjust it." The middle-aged Hadley sat in front of the console, blocking one ear to reduce noise and disturbing, and lazily approaching the communication channel.
The console hall is very lively today. This kind of lively moments are just a flash in the pan, and there will only be one day in a year.
On the large screen in the center, the avatars, information, and electrocardiogram of the five people are displayed on it.
Behind the rear, employees from various departments gathered in the hall and moved to the middle table to put money on. For a moment, this place looked more like a casino.
"Okay, the last time. The start time is up. Place more bets, and the betting time is about to end." Sidson walked to the table loudly, took the money handed over by the employee, and did statistics.
"Let me see who hasn't bet yet. Engineers, R&Ds, and electricians are there too." Sidson turned around and handed the note of betting to the middle-aged man Hadley, who was writing the betting note.
"Did you see who they bet? It's just a waste of money." Hadley laughed.
"Aren't you, mermaid?" Sidson smiled. Hadley's expression suddenly became resentful and asked him what he meant. Sidson ignored it and took the betting note handed over by an employee.
Freddy
"We have such things?" he asked with the note.
"Zoologists say we have."
"They are professional." Sidson shrugged and put the note away.
Zombie Family
"No, someone has already suppressed this." Hadley walked up to everyone, took a note, looked at it and shook his head.
"What? Who is pressing it?" The employee's smile became stiff.
"Maintenancer."
"Maintenancers? They press the same every year." The bets they made were made by others in advance. The employees were very discouraged.
"How do you want me?" Hadley looked at him squintly. "If they were creative, they wouldn't be in the maintenance department. Even if you win, you would have to share the bonus equally. Do you want to change it?"
"Ah...I don't know. What do you think?"
"I just hope you get an idea as soon as possible."
...
"Don't you bet?" The female researcher leaned on the fence and turned to the new security captain Daniel.
"I don't need it. Thank you." Daniel stood straight and watched the group of turbulent employees below with a cold look in his tone. He was holding people thousands of miles away.
Lin chuckled and walked to Daniel: "Do you think it's a bit cruel? It's just that everyone is venting pressure." She took a deep breath: "This job is not easy, but those guys can stand it."
Daniel's expression was a little loose, and he tilted his head slightly and whispered: "Senior Supervisor... Do you know the following?"
"The senior supervisor doesn't care about these things." The low-level supervisor Hadley passed by here with a cash collection and said to him, holding a bag of bets in his hand. "As long as the things above go smoothly, the people below can follow the command."
"But the results are all destined."
"No, no."
Daniel pursued and followed Hadley to the front hall of the console and said, "Since you can control the results, how can you participate in the betting?"
"We just lead them to the basement, and behind them is their own business." Hadley counted the money and walked to Sidson, who answered, "They can choose freely, otherwise the system will not work. Just like that prophet, the gloomy prophet, tells them: You will die without a doubt."
"Why arrange him there? That's what the system needs. They choose to ignore him, they choose to come to the cabin, and then enter the underground in a few hours. Although we will also do some necessary measures, everything is their own choice."
"What about those ordinary people? They are not part of the sacrifice."
"They...I think these people come in for a purpose."
“We have no evidence.”
"I didn't say I wanted to kill them," Hadley glanced at him. "Closed them in the cottage No. 5, and when the sacrifice was over, let them come out."
Hadley gesturing, "This group of young people will scream and get into the RV that offers sacrifices, and then drive out of the cave and return to the city. Maybe they will call the police. The police said they will investigate and bring the murderer to justice. But the fact is that they are all our people there, and this matter will be left unresolved. Maybe they will also mention it to their relatives and friends, but who cares? A group of young college students disappear in the mountains and forests, and there are hundreds of incidents in the United States every year."
Hadley said: "How about Daniel, have you bet? Time is coming."
"Forget it." Daniel still couldn't accept it, and said indifferently.
"Okay." Hadley didn't care about the money. He turned around and walked to the guardrail. There was a dark employee under the console hall, and there was a noise.
He shouted, "The fence is closed."
