Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 459: Dark Killing Intent — Live-Streamed Game Begins

After eating the ice cream, he took his medicine.He discovered that the few bottles from last time were almost finished.

Jiang Ran then transferred 50,000 yuan to Wang Qingzhao, asking her to buy two more bottles for him.

Twenty-five thousand per bottle. When Jiang Ran made the transfer, it was downright painful.

However, thinking that he would be free once he gathered 50 million points, he felt he could hold on a little longer.

After taking the medicine, he lay back down on the sofa and opened the high school classmate group chat that Hu Xiaofei had added him to.

The class group was very lively, everyone discussing tomorrow's treasure hunt activity.

"If I can just find a Fruit Phone, it'll be worth it," Jiang Ran thought.

...

The next day.

The weather was as sunny and bright as yesterday.

Jiang Ran woke up in bed a little after 6 AM, habitually reaching for his phone, planning to scroll for a bit before getting up.

But seeing the several missed call notifications on his phone and the frantic @ mentions on WeChat, he immediately rolled over. His bleary, sleepy eyes widened in an instant.

He only then realized something seemed to have happened last night.

Opening his phone, he carefully read through the messages.

Only then did Jiang Ran fully grasp what had occurred last night.

Last night at 11 PM, two men had secretly slipped into Alice Apartment.

They had poured large amounts of gasoline and diesel onto the walls of the Alice Apartment building, the surrounding areas, and even inside the building itself.

They were preparing to set the entire apartment building on fire.

If it weren't for the timely discovery by the administrator, Mao Li Zhishu, and the security team,

probably everyone in the entire apartment building would have become roast suckling pigs by now.

Currently, the two arsonists had been taken away by the Police and were being interrogated about their motives for attempting to burn down the apartment building.

Jiang Ran's right hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

Holy crap, he almost got burned to death last night?

He found it somewhat unbelievable. He got out of bed, left the bedroom, and opened the security door.

Poking his head out to look, he saw the third-floor hallway floor and the walls on both sides of the hallway were covered in a greasy, oily mess.

Judging by the amount of fuel poured, if it had really ignited last night, the consequences would have been truly unimaginable!

Damn, who harbored such deep hatred that they wanted to burn down the entire apartment building?

He couldn't understand it.

Jiang Ran closed the security door.

His heart still pounding with fear, he finished washing up and ate breakfast.

After getting dressed, he tied a plastic bag around each of his sports shoes and stepped out the door.

8:00 AM.

Black Software.

Dark Killing live stream room.

The viewer count in the live stream room was fluctuating around 160,000.

Unlike the "Neighbors Over Distant Relatives" game and the "Treasure King's live stream room",

there was no host here.

Only a solitary screen was displayed in the live stream room.

The solitary screen kept flashing with crimson, bloody text.

"Dark Killing Game, Round 3, officially begins!"

"The game is divided into Explorers and Hunters!"

"The Explorers for Round 3 are as follows."

"Explorer No. 1: Little Black Black, male, 27 years old."

"Explorer No. 2: Zombie Tyrannosaurus, male, 35 years old."

"Explorer No. 3: Never Forget the Original Intent, female, 22 years old."

"Explorer No. 4: Seeking Defeat in the West, male, 19 years old."

"Explorer No. 5: Kaitou Kid's Older Brother, female, 25 years old."

Explorers in Dark Killing didn't have to use their real names;they could choose any name.

Simultaneously, as each person was introduced, their corresponding photo appeared.

"Next, introducing the Hunters for Round 3."

"Hunter No. 1: Iron Hook Maniac, male, a deranged serial killer from Mexico."

"Number of victims: up to 77, mostly homeless people and prostitutes."

"Hunter No. 2: Andro, male, from Big Fur Country, nicknames: Forest Zone Killer, Rostov Butcher, Red Ripper, etc."

"Number of victims: at least 53, all women and children. He would lure women and children into the forest before killing them."

"Followed by acts of necrophilia and corpse mutilation."

"Hunter No. 3: Armored Man, male, mixed race from Hua Country, Cherry Blossom Country, Korea, and other nations."

"A madman who enjoys making and wearing armor while committing murder."

Accompanying the three Hunters were photos of the three Hunters.

At this moment, in the Dark Killing live stream room chat area:

Dark Glory: ["All ten Explorers from the first two rounds died. There's something wrong with this game's setup."]

Invincible Bro: ["What's wrong with it?"]

Dark Glory: ["Dark Killing adopts mechanics from Dead by Daylight and Identity V."]

["But in those games, each match has one killer or hunter."]

["The player count is also four escapees or four survivors."]

["But this Dark Killing has five Explorers and three Hunters. How the hell are you supposed to play? The power balance is clearly off."]

["Even Identity V's double hunter mode has two hunters and eight survivors."]

Invincible Bro: ["The power balance is indeed off, but did you watch the first two rounds?"]

["If the five Explorers hadn't been scheming against each other, all trying to screw over their teammates to get more money, they wouldn't have lost at all, okay?"]

The final objective of Dark Killing: escape the location after finding ten keys.

The Explorers who survive split 50 million equally.

If all five Explorers escape, that's 10 million each.

But if only one Explorer escapes in the end, that person gets the entire 50 million alone.

Under the temptation of money,

human nature manifests in countless forms.

Pineapple Bleeds: ["Alright, let's just watch the stream."]

The live stream room screen.

Text continued to appear.

"Introduction of the five Explorers and three Hunters for Dark Killing Round 3 is complete."

"Please, all viewers in the live stream room, place your bets."

The betting for this Dark Killing live stream game

allows you to bet not only on Explorers but also on Hunters.

Each person can only bet on one Explorer or one Hunter.

Victory condition for betting on an Explorer: The Explorer successfully escapes.

Victory condition for betting on a Hunter: All Explorers die.

Judging by the victory conditions for both sides,

betting on an Explorer is actually easier to win.

After all, you win as long as the one who finally escapes is the one you bet on.

For Hunters, all Explorers must die.

So in the first two rounds, many people bet on Explorers. Unfortunately, the Explorers were disappointing, fighting amongst themselves, sabotaging teammates, and screwing themselves over in the process.

Soon, the total betting amounts were summarized.

"The betting amounts for Round 3 Explorers and Hunters are as follows:"

"Explorer No. 1: Little Black Black, betting amount: 33 million."

"Explorer No. 2: Zombie Tyrannosaurus, betting amount: 23.9 million."

"Explorer No. 3: Never Forget the Original Intent, betting amount: 17.2 million."

"Explorer No. 4: Seeking Defeat in the West, betting amount: 18 million."

"Explorer No. 5: Kaitou Kid's Older Brother, betting amount: 10.01 million."

"Hunter No. 1: Iron Hook Maniac, betting amount: 56.1 million."

"Hunter No. 2: Andro, betting amount: 54 million!"

"Hunter No. 3: Armored Man, betting amount: 88 million!"

"The total betting amount for Round 3 is: 300.21 million!"
