Chapter 525: Death Has Arrived
During the interrogation, Jiang Ran still hadn't revealed his conjectures and judgments to the police.He wasn't some kind-hearted busybody and naturally wouldn't go looking for trouble for himself.
Unless it was something he wanted to do.
Or something that was beneficial to him.
This was the biggest difference between the complete version of the main personality and the main personality that only possessed kind memories.
The main personality with only kind memories, after all, only had those kind memories, which led to his thoughts and actions being somewhat saintly.
Of course, at least he wasn't a hypocritical saint.
"If this killing was planned because of a grudge, that's one thing."
"But if it was a random killing on a sudden whim, then that's much more interesting."
That's just how this world is, which is why everyone needs to stay vigilant.
It's not about fearing your own foolishness, but fearing someone else's insanity.
Staying vigilant at all times is the true way.
From the current data, in developed Western countries, those with antisocial personality disorders make up about four percent of the total population.
In the East, it's relatively lower, between 0.3 and 3 percent.
Just as Jiang Ran was thinking this.
The Danger Warning System suddenly sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Dangerous individual detected! Points +1! Points +1! Points +1...]
"Hmm?"
Standing at the entrance of the police station, Jiang Ran glanced sideways and saw a man in his thirties who had just walked out beside him.
He was also someone who had been at the safety island at the crime scene, just like him.
He should also have been cleared of suspicion, released, and regained his freedom.
But...
"Is he the culprit?"
Jiang Ran turned his head to stare at this man.
This man also seemed to notice Jiang Ran's gaze. He glared viciously at Jiang Ran.
Then he turned and walked in another direction.
"None of my business."
Watching the man's receding back, Jiang Ran thought to himself and walked in a different direction.
He didn't know how long he walked before reaching a very long bridge.
On the bridge, traffic flowed.
Below the bridge, waves surged.
As Jiang Ran was walking forward, he suddenly saw, about ten meters away from him.
A young woman, standing there alone.
She was looking down at the turbulent water under the bridge.
Then, as if she had made up her mind.
She actually climbed over the bridge railing in one go, her small figure letting out an "ahhh" sound as she fell into the river.
At that moment, on the electric bike lane, several owners saw this and immediately pushed their bikes up.
They stuck their heads out one by one, looking down at the river below in horror.
Jiang Ran had already leaned over to look when the woman jumped.
He saw that after the woman fell into the river, she was immediately swept away by the current, flowing downstream.
And soon, there was no trace of her, completely swallowed up, a life just vanished like smoke.
"They all say death is the most terrifying thing, but I think sometimes, living is more terrifying than dying."
"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many suicides."
"They all say Hua Country people have strong stress tolerance, but I'm not so sure."
Jiang Ran wasn't unfamiliar with seeing suicides.
It's just that he didn't expect to encounter two dead people on such a short journey home today.
This luck was truly unmatched.
Because of that young woman's act of jumping off the bridge.
A crowd began to gather at that spot.
Jiang Ran passed by.
His gaze quickly focused on a man among them wearing a black tracksuit.
That man was strange, holding a handheld video camera in his hand, continuously filming something.
The man turned around, and the camera in his hand also pointed at Jiang Ran.
But he quickly turned away again.
Jiang Ran said nothing and continued on his way.
What he didn't know was that he had already appeared in a live stream room twice.
The Black Software, Death Has Arrived game live stream room.
In this world, do you have someone you hate to the bone, someone you want to kill?
You do? Then why not kill them?
Is it because you're afraid of bearing legal responsibility, eating prison food, eating peanuts?
What if you encountered a difficult situation where you desperately needed money, and killing one person could get you one million, would you go and kill that person you hate to the bone?
That's exactly what the Death Has Arrived game live stream room is like.
One game round lasts a month.
There are 20 lab rats per round.
This game is extremely different from other live stream games.
From the start to the end of the game, the 20 lab rats will never encounter each other.
Because they are in completely different cities.
So, what is the live stream content of this game?
Very simple.
During the game period, killing one person earns one million.
These lab rats will all have cameras installed and attached to them.
As well as the men with handheld black video cameras that Jiang Ran discovered.
These follow from a distance, providing a third-person perspective.
Although, for the viewers of the Death Has Arrived game live stream room, the viewing experience isn't as good as other games set in fixed locations with cameras everywhere.
Yet, this unique game mechanism is also what keeps the popularity of the Death Has Arrived game live stream room consistently high.
As for the man in his thirties who pushed someone that Jiang Ran encountered at the police station entrance, and the woman who jumped off the bridge, they are both lab rats in the current round of the Death Has Arrived game live stream room.
First, let's talk about the man in his thirties who pushed someone to their death.
The reason he was approached and signed an agreement by the recruiters of this live stream room game was very simple.
He needed money.
From the start of this round, he hadn't killed a single person.
He ultimately lacked the courage.
Finally, his mind became somewhat dazed. At that moment when he was crossing the road and reached the safety island.
His own mind went blank, his right hand turned into a demon's hand. He himself didn't know why he pushed the young man in front of him out.
The result of pushing him out was that the young man died.
After that, this man in his thirties would face two possible outcomes.
The first, being caught by the police.
His game round would then be — game over.
One million would be transferred to his designated account.
The game organizers wouldn't clean up this mess for you; your life would end there.
This is also one of the highlights of the Death Has Arrived game.
The second, lucky, not caught, released.
The game continues.
The man in his thirties was the lucky one.
During the time he unleashed his demon hand.
The surveillance camera on that section of the road happened to be broken, under maintenance.
Additionally, there were no other eyewitnesses who saw his demon hand.
So he was safe.
As for the second, the young woman who jumped off the bridge.
During the game period, she also lacked the courage and resolve to kill anyone for money.
But for her sick son who was only a few years old, to gather the medical fees, a mother's strength emerges for her child.
She ended her own life to exchange for one million. Of course, her choice to end her own life was also because she was suffering from incurable cancer, so she chose to give the chance to live to her son.
This is also why the Death Has Arrived live stream game's highlight is observing human nature.
Observing the myriad aspects of life.
And Jiang Ran, by pure coincidence, appeared in the live stream room twice.
This also attracted some attention from the viewers in the live stream room.
Death's Dad: [Hey now, this young guy has some luck, huh? Actually encountered two lab rats? Next time, let him become a lab rat too! Such fate!]
