Bizarre Survival: Starting from the Fake Human Community
Chapter 20 I want you to choose
"But you're too late!"
After saying that, Li Mo's body began to contort, and the faces on his face kept changing. Each face was writhing, blinking, and opening its mouth to scream silently.
The crowd could even see Scarface Liu's ferocity and the despair of the nameless players who died on the first night.
"This..." Wang Mang was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground. "This is not human...this is not human! Haha, haha, this game won't stop until it has played us to the very end, will it?" He was somewhat desperate.
Wen Wan's hand gripping the dagger trembled, but she stood firmly in front of Su Ming. The burning sensation in Su Ming's throat hadn't subsided; his voice was hoarse: "Don't panic... if he could kill us directly, he would have already done it."
"If he doesn't do that, he must have some other purpose in mind!"
The fake King Li Mo tilted his head, and the ever-changing face finally settled on a familiar face, Li Mo's own face, but his eyes had become completely black, with no whites.
"Su Ming, you're right!" The False King's voice whispered like a hundred people at once, "But I didn't say I wouldn't kill you all!"
He gripped Wang Le's neck with his left hand, and with his right hand, he held a shard of broken glass, lightly slicing it across Wang Le's cheek, leaving a bloody mark. Wang Le trembled, biting his lip, afraid to scream.
Zhou Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white: "Then what exactly do you want! Can't you just give me a straight answer? Are you going to keep toying with us until you're satisfied?"
Li Mo smiled. This time, the smile was calm, even carrying a hint of compassion.
"It's no fun doing it myself! Besides, do you think I'm the final boss and therefore the strongest of all the fake humans? Wrong! I'm just the most human-like fake human!"
"So... I want you to choose!"
"What should we choose?" Su Ming asked Li Mo.
Li Mo loosened his grip on Wang Le's neck, instead grabbing her hair and turning her face towards the crowd. Wang Le finally broke down in tears: "Zheng-ge...save me...I don't want to die..."
Seeing this, Zhou Zheng's heart was breaking. But now he was at the mercy of others, and he dared not act recklessly. His lips were bleeding from being bitten, and he glared at Li Mo with resentment.
"The rules are simple." Li Mo remained unaffected, smiling as he tapped Wang Le's temple with a shard of glass, his eyes full of mockery. "Heh... Of the seven of you, besides me, there are six left."
He pointed at Zhou Zheng with his other hand: "You... you have the prop, the paranormal notebook, right?"
Zhou Zheng's expression changed. He had just publicly revealed this prop.
"Didn't I say that if you want it, I can give it to you, as long as you let Wang Le go!" Zhou Zheng took out a black notebook from his pocket and showed it to Li Mo.
"Don't be nervous, I won't steal it, and I don't need your things!" Li Mo, the fake king, said with a hint of mockery. "Listen carefully, I'll give you two options."
"Option 1: Zhou Zheng, come here and trade your life for Wang Le's. You die, she lives."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng's face, already pale from the excessive blood drain on the notebook, turned even whiter: "You're a madman! A madman!"
"What a nice expression!" Li Mo smiled, his mouth almost reaching his lips. "Let me finish. Don't you humans have any manners at all?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Su Ming glared at him.
Li Mo continued, "Option two: You choose one person to die. Anyone can do it. It could be you, Su Ming, Wen Wan, Wang Mang, Chen Chao, or even Zhou Zheng and Wang Su."
"No matter who it is, as long as one person is willing to stand up and die, I will release Wang Le, and then... I will let you pass the level."
"You have...five minutes."
Silence, and more silence...
The air in the underground parking garage seemed to freeze. It became thick and heavy, but no one moved.
Wang Mang was the first to speak, his voice trembling with hysteria: "This...this isn't fair! Why should we have to choose? Couldn't you just release Wang Le yourself?"
The fake king tilted his head: "Fairness? You're talking to me about fairness? Are you kidding me!"
Chen Chao clutched his wounded waist, his face pale, but he still cursed, "You son of a bitch, I'd rather die than choose you!"
Li Mo ignored him and looked at Zhou Zheng instead: "You love her very much, right? I said, the first option is always valid."
Zhou Zheng's lips trembled. He looked at Wang Le, thinking that if all else failed, he would give his own life in exchange! Wang Le seemed to see his resolve and shook his head, crying, "No... Brother Zheng, please don't..."
Su Ming was thinking quickly. He stared into Li Mo's eyes, those completely black eyes held no murderous intent, no anger, only a kind of... playfulness and curiosity.
He's watching to see how humanity will choose.
But whatever the outcome, he achieved his goal of manipulating people's hearts, and that's good enough.
"Su Ming..." Wen Wan called him softly, "Can we go together and give it a shot?"
Su Ming shook his head and replied in a low voice, "If he dares to let us choose, he's not afraid of us taking action. Besides, Wang Le is in his hands, and Zhou Zheng won't agree to take action."
"And another thing, you idiot! Have you forgotten what happened with Chen Chao just now? Even though he talked about himself that way, there's a possibility he was hiding his true strength!"
With Chen Chao's example right before his eyes, Su Ming dared not gamble on that chance!
"Heh... I had no choice but to go for it... Haha, in the end, not only did you outmaneuver me, but you even managed to get your hands on the paranormal notebook! Haha, I'm going to die, are you satisfied now?"
Zhou Zheng was both crying and laughing, and had already taken a step forward. When he destroyed the fake monster in the underground parking garage, he thought the prediction in the Supernatural Notes had failed. After all, he hadn't died at the hands of the fake monster king, had he?
Unbelievable! Unbelievable! In the end, he was completely outmaneuvered by Li Mo, this real fake human king!
"Wait!" Wang Mang stopped him. "Are you really going to your death? Even if you die, she might not survive! Can you trust what that thing says? Li Mo isn't human!"
"Then what do you suggest we do!" Zhou Zheng roared, his voice hoarse. "Are you expecting me to just watch her die?!"
"I absolutely cannot do it!"
Wang Mang was speechless for a moment; he was rendered speechless by Zhou Zheng's words.
Wang Su, who had been watching the whole thing unfold, stepped out from behind a pillar and sneered, "If I had to choose, I'd pick the second one. If one person dies, everyone lives. Why should everyone have to be buried with that woman?"
"You're all so weak-willed! I'll do the dirty work!"
His red hair swayed with his roar, bringing a chilling coldness to everyone present.
"Shut up!" Zhou Zheng turned around and glared at Wang Su.
"Did I say something wrong?" Wang Su shrugged. "She's your girlfriend, not ours. If you want to commit suicide for love, that's your own business. Don't drag us down with you."
"Wang Su!" Su Ming shouted, stopping him. "If you say another word, I'll burn you!"
Wang Su snorted and stepped back, but the calculating look in his eyes was obvious to everyone. Something was wrong; he really might pick someone to attack!
Li Mo watched all of this with great interest: "It was all worth waiting for. Friendly reminder, there are still three minutes left."
Wen Wan gritted her teeth and suddenly stood up: "Stop arguing! I choose myself."
Everyone was stunned. No one could have imagined that someone would sacrifice themselves for someone else!
"What did you say?" Su Ming grabbed her wrist, his eyes filled with shock.
Wen Wan didn't look at him, staring at Li Mo: "I choose option two, I'll switch with Wang Le. You release her, I'll die."
"Wen Wan, are you crazy! You've only known each other for a short time! Is it worth it?!" Wang Mang shouted.
"I'm not crazy," Wen Wan said softly. "I'm serious."
Su Ming was furious and pulled her back, his strength causing her wrist to ache.
"Are you fucking stupid?" He leaned close to Wen Wan's ear and whispered, "You fucking dare to kill one of you and see what happens."
Wen Wan's eyes reddened: "Su Ming... I know, but someone has to..."
"Shut up," Su Ming interrupted her. "That's none of your business."
He turned to face Li Mo, meeting his insincere smile: "I'll do it!"
"Su Ming!" Wen Wan cried out anxiously, "Don't do anything foolish!"
