Star of Civilization

Vol 2 Chapter 222:

"You organized a competition? That's great!"

Joyner couldn't hide her inner joy and nodded repeatedly. She can fully understand the fear of these people. After all, everyone is afraid of death. In order to get out alive, these people are willing to gamble everything.

"Say it, I will never break my promise, and I will definitely let you leave this prison."

"No-!"

"No?" Joyner raised her brows, but she didn't react, her face was full of doubts.

The old man suddenly crawled forward a few meters, came to Joyner's feet, and tried his best to straighten his rickety body.

With an infinitely humble attitude, he shook his head and said, "You want my son to leave, if you can do it... Please, I am an ordinary person, and everything will return to dust in a few days."

"Are you sick?" Joyner asked in surprise.

"Yes, there is no cure for my illness. It's been a long time. Anyway, I can't survive. No matter how hard I struggle, I will die soon."

The old man gritted his teeth and raised his right hand reluctantly, and gently took off his ragged clothes with his left hand, revealing his bony body.

Joyner saw that the skin from his left rib to the back was dark purple, with blood veins radiating out, bumps and bumps on the surface of the body. The wound didn't look like a spot, but a rotten sore that penetrated deep into the skin, and it really had been terminally ill for a long time.

Joyner gasped, and her mood became extremely complicated. She didn't know what kind of disease it was, so naturally there was nothing she could do, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will take your son out of this prison."

"Thank you," the old man nodded gratefully, turned his head, grabbed his son's shoulders with his skinny fingers, and shook his son violently, "You must get out alive for me, do you hear me?"

"Father! I, I..." The young man's throat was choked up, and he couldn't continue.

The eyes of the father and son were red at the same time, filled with tears, and they hugged each other tightly.

Others seem to be used to this kind of thing, no one speaks but sighs, and Joyner is silent, the meaning of life - can only be found when facing death.

An idea suddenly popped up in Joyner's mind. Why don't you just take all these people away!

Next, the old man explained the details of the ten-penalty game to Joyner in detail.

The reason why the game held every three years is called the Ten Penalty Challenge is because the contestants must win ten games, that is to say, they must kill ten opponents and ensure that they survive in order to win.

In fact, killing one or two opponents can be done by many people. After all, everyone risked their lives, or they could do it with some despicable means. But the competition will become more and more difficult, cruel and exciting. No one can predict which more terrifying enemies will be encountered later.

Especially if you encounter mutants - also known as demihumans, then the scene is another matter entirely.

These monster-like guys are basically pets raised by powerful families or chambers of commerce. The purpose of participating in the competition is to represent them to win bounties and set up gambling games. Everyone knows this, but there is still nothing they can do about them.

Mutants are surprisingly strong, with rough skin and thick flesh, extremely ferocious, and difficult to control once they enter the arena. They don't care about multiple injuries at all, because bloody, painful and exciting battles will make them extremely crazy!

Although their intelligence is low, their strength is overwhelming. They can also use a variety of deadly weapons, tearing apart opponents with sharp claws, biting the opponent's throat with venomous fangs, and crushing opponents into flesh with their huge bodies.

Even if ordinary people fight hard, both of them will die in the end, and there is no winner.

In short, as long as they can continue to fight, they will stop at nothing to kill each other to the last drop of blood.

Because they want to kill, because they have fun doing it!

However, this is also the scene that everyone wants to see most in the ten-penalty game.

Stimulation of the senses, cruel, bloody, **** screams and roars, only in this way can arouse everyone's shouts, and be overwhelmed by their master's god-given power. Whether the person in question is an angel or a demon.

After listening to the old man's explanation, Joyner suddenly realized that she still underestimated the ten-penalty competition created by Nova and its deep meaning.

From a small point of view, the ten punishments are to show off the regional force, to show the unique order and violence here, to help Nova establish a powerful force across the western region, to raise the prestige of the hidden sandcastle to the highest level, and to stand firm .

It aims to entertain the public, unite people's hearts, and win people's trust. At the same time, it magnifies fear and suppresses people's hearts, so that everyone has an illusion-individuals must always maintain sufficient martial arts, otherwise, they will never be able to survive in such a situation. Alone in the world.

In the end, there must be a stronger force to subdue the winner.

From a large perspective, the ten-penalty challenge maintains Nova's dream and the lifeblood of the entire Hidden Sandcastle. In fact, the competition is the most powerful publicity tool, a real show, and a savage entertainment event for everyone.

In this jungle world, it is necessary to use violence to control violence and use force to balance the interests of the top forces, and the arena where life and death are on the line has become a place where universal "values" are exported. At the same time, the venue of the game is controllable, which also ensures the basic security needs of the underlying forces, and it is no longer a random killing on the **** streets.

The competition rules formulated by Nova are actually the most basic form of society, and it is the fundamental difference between human beings and wild beasts. There is no other reason to use strength to compete.

The competition system is very simple and rude, but it is currently the most suitable method to establish the prestige of the ruler, because it is much better than random killing without any rules.

There are also some potential rules, and the old man also said it.

For example: the winner can choose whether to kill the opponent, or let the opponent die. If the loser admits defeat and obtains consent, the other party can directly win.

But this kind of thing rarely happens, the reason is that the audience is too fanatical ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ prefer to see the **** massacre, to see one side of the game lying in a pool of blood.

"Shh, wait a minute."

Joyner suddenly interrupted the old man, her face turned serious. Her sense of hearing is more than ten times better than that of ordinary people, and she felt light footsteps coming from the end of the corridor, and there were more than one!

"It's the jailer," Joyner quickly reacted, and whispered, "Someone must have heard what happened before and moved in to rescue the soldiers."

"ah-!"

"This is how to do?"

"This is the end!"

"We are all dead!"

Hearing what she said, all the prisoners panicked and trembled. Like a group of rats in the dark, they all swarmed into the corner behind Joyner.

Joyner stood up abruptly, quickly approached the iron gate, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I told you, I will take care of it!"
