Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

While everyone else was terrified, you were the only one who didn't waver at all.

People like you either have something to rely on or are completely scared.

But I can see that your eyes are calm, neither stupid nor crazy.

Tell me, you don't think that people who have fallen into such a place can escape. "

The old man muttered...

At the same time, warn him not to try to escape.

No one captured by Spike (the name of the slave owner) ever escaped.

And you don't want to know what happens if you try to escape and get caught.

If you still have hope against the cruelty of the slave owner...——

Old man: "Someone will pour buckets of snakes onto the iron cage from a high place.

Guess what the reaction of the people hiding inside would be?

The cage was not locked.

The difference between humans and wild beasts and animals like lions is that humans have wisdom and intelligence and are good at using tools.

The lion tried to open the iron cage for a long time but failed. Now it can easily get out by pulling the chain from the inside.

certainly--

The iron cage is a restraint but also a protection.

But even though he was bitten by poisonous snakes and crawling all over his body, he still chose to walk out of the cage.

These demons don't leave you any choice."

The old man became more and more frightened as he spoke, his eyes flashed with fear, and his whole body was trembling.

At this time, Ye also realized that the other party was not so much chatting with him as releasing his inner fear through chatting.

But unexpectedly——

The other party actually knows so much.

And sure enough, as the night went on, changes had already occurred on the field.

Someone poured a bucket of poisonous snakes from a high place, and soon countless poisonous snakes fell from the sky and instantly filled the iron cage.

The dense swarm of poisonous snakes instantly made the people in the iron cage scream in panic and fear even more than when they were facing the lion's gaze before.

The male slave in the cage turned extremely pale and almost fainted from fright.

This is a chilling scene. Not to mention ordinary slaves, even Ye would never want to face it.

I'm going to have trypophobia, not to mention animals like snakes, which are naturally frightening to people.

Compared to the King of Beasts, although it may not be as destructive in terms of power,

But it is more vicious and more difficult to guard against.

The venomous snake is vicious and good at lurking.

And an enemy who deals you a fatal blow at a critical moment is far more frightening than a visible strong enemy.

I always feel like I've heard of this game somewhere before.

It must be something that those perverted nobles in the barbaric Middle Ages liked to play.

I continued to watch that night.

at this time--

Faced with a double threat, when the first snake fell and hung on the male slave's arm,

The male slave screamed, finally unable to bear the dual pressure of physical and psychological pressure, and suddenly pulled the chain, then opened the cell door and rushed out! !

Old man: “He chose to open the prison door and become food for the lions.

What a stupid decision.

But... who says it isn't?

This is also an unavoidable decision.

No matter who encounters that situation, it is difficult to make a third choice. "

Ye suddenly said, "Maybe he can defeat the lion with the weapon in his hand."

Old man: “No, no no!

Even if he has powers comparable to the heroes in ancient Greek mythology,

Even if he defeated the lions, he would not be able to survive.

See the other areas?

The slave owner's men would force him into those areas.

Only after you get through them all can you... survive?"

The tone of this question is very spiritual...

Ye instantly understood what the old man was thinking.

I mean slave owners can't be trusted at all.

Even if someone could get through all those terrifying areas.

In the end, the slave did not die successfully, which made the audience feel unhappy.

Is it really possible for such an angry slave owner to give freedom to the slaves?

I'm afraid that either a new and more terrifying trial is waiting ahead, or I'll be captured and tortured to death.

However, Ye also grasped a key factor in the old man's words.

He mentioned ancient Greek mythology...

Obviously this is not another world, but most likely Western Europe after the Greek era, considering its medieval appearance and the barbaric and bloody atmosphere that resembles a gladiatorial arena.

Ye thought of a country that inherited ancient Greece.

Ye: ——I won’t come to ancient Rome.

The old man was still muttering, trembling all over as he spoke: "He can't get through.

Behind it there are crocodile ponds, elephant riders, and even mountains of swords and forests of fire.

Each of these trials is a death sentence for ordinary people.

How can a mortal body withstand the malice of these demons?"

"Come on, young men, let us pray to the twelve gods together.

It’s best not to choose us.

I think after seeing this scene, the courage in your heart should have disappeared.

Don’t feel ashamed. Anyone facing this scene would find it difficult to muster the courage to resist.”

Without responding to the old man, Ye suddenly asked back: "Do you know ancient Rome?"

The old man was slightly stunned, and then he subconsciously said: "Isn't this Rome?"

Ye’s heart became calmer—as expected!

At this time, he roughly knew which twelve gods the old man was referring to.

Led by the god king Jupiter,

It is almost a replica of the background story of the twelve main Greek gods, but with a changed name, and the gods are covered with the skin of Roman mythology.

Those twelve main gods are still the most powerful gods in Rome.

But now there is no time for Ye to think so much,

——Something new has happened on the field.

The male slave who chose to escape from the cage didn't last even two minutes.

He was soon surrounded and knocked down by the lion pack, and then torn to pieces while screaming and howling in pain.

The lions, already starving, didn't care about the howling of their prey at all.

Hearing the wailing, the wild beasts became even more ferocious, and even the crowd on the stage above became more excited.

Chapter 38: If I can’t even produce offspring, why should I be afraid of dying for my freedom?

"Hahahahaha!! Wonderful! Exciting!

Spike, you are a genius!

They actually came up with this new way to play with (torture) people."

"If you don't escape, you will be bitten to death by a poisonous snake. If you escape, you will be attacked by a group of lions and become their food.

This is so exciting.

I could see the despair growing exponentially on that slave's face!"

"It's a difficult question for human nature...!"

"Kill him, that's it, hahahahahaha! Tear up his flesh and eat this dirty rat!"

In the audience seats on the platform, many people cheered excitedly.

Screaming hysterically, singing loudly,

At this moment, blood and money seemed to be the only things that could stimulate their nerves.

They began to throw handfuls of coins into the square below.

The slave owners couldn't stop laughing when they saw this scene.

This reversal of tactics really worked very well.

While these distinguished guests are in high spirits,

The slave owner immediately announced loudly:

“Everyone, do you want to see how other kinds of ‘farm tools’ would react if they were trapped to death in an iron cage?

If any distinguished guest is interested, he can come to us to purchase various slaves.

Proceed to assign players for the next game.

Whether it is a strong gladiator, an old man, a child, or even a beautiful young girl,

We have options here.

As long as you are generous enough to donate, we will definitely provide any service, no matter what it is.

certainly--

The prices of different slaves are slightly different. The prices of high-quality slaves will also be a little bit more expensive. I hope you can understand. "

However, when the slave owner finished speaking,

But few people stood up.

Obviously - even if the nobles were rich, they were not stupid enough to spend money to buy slaves just to watch a show.

It's a show that everyone can enjoy.

They are not reluctant to spend the money.

But maybe some people will choose to select slaves. Then they don’t have to spend any money, and they can watch a good show with their girlfriend for free. Why not?

I saw the distinguished guests above were discussing and whispering, but no one was willing to pay.

The slave owner's face suddenly turned purple.

Hum~! ! !
