Chapter 132 Internet Celebrity Festival ([-])
There is only a dark background in the picture of the flamingo, and it is barely discernible that he is wearing a white cloth or a quilt.No body part is exposed.

Flamingo Declaration: "Your favorite is to play games live. Your favorite game is to kill people. I believe today's game will make you very enjoyable."

The player in charge of the police live broadcast computer was Helen. Liang Xi took black tea and sat near Helen with Bobby.Kent asked Liang Xi to return to Brighton because Helen recommended Liang Xi to help him break through.Liang Xi is not interested in this kind of game, his curiosity lies in the identity of the flamingo.

Johnson is rich and well-connected, and there is no shortage of desperadoes in Europe.Johnson hired people to transport Internet celebrities, install bombs, install cameras, and arrange everything to make sense.But if Flamingo also hires people, what is the point of Johnson kidnapping eight Internet celebrities?It's better to hire a murderer to kill them directly.Flamingo should be someone Johnson trusts to control the game according to Johnson's instructions.But Johnson is in the Fairy Tale Hotel, with police detectives by his side, and his phone has been monitored. How can he convey his instructions to Flamingo?
The picture of the flamingo showed nine monitors, which were the monitor videos of the police and the eight hostages. The hostages had a number on their left and right shoulders and backs, representing their serial numbers.

Flamingo's voice changed: "Now the game begins. The first level of the game: 3 minutes to vote. It is known that the police have learned the location where the two Internet celebrities are detained, and now they are voting. Voting rules, the top two with the highest votes If the Internet celebrities belong to the Internet celebrities who have been discovered by the police, they will die immediately. If the two Internet celebrities with the highest votes are not the Internet celebrities who have been discovered, no one will be injured or injured. Time. Turn on the number one voice, number one, and you have 15 seconds to solicit votes from other hostages."

The terrified voice of No. [-]: "Please don't vote for me. There are policemen near me. Once I get the most votes, I will definitely die."

Flamingo: "Activate No. [-] microphone."

Number two: "Don't vote for me, I have the police by my side."

Flamingo: "Activate No. [-] microphone."

No. [-] had time to prepare his lines, and spoke quickly: "Everyone, please listen to me, I swear to my mother, there are policemen around me, they have found me. Please don't vote for me, I have two children, Please, I can't die."

So a very strange situation appeared. The eight Internet celebrities all said that they had policemen around them, and swore with various curses, hoping that other hostages would not vote for them.

Flamingo said: "Next, start the question and answer. You have 5 seconds to say the number you want to vote, otherwise the vote will belong to you. Number one."

No. 9 said anxiously: "No. [-]."

Flamingo: "Sorry, there is no number 9."

Number One: "No..."

The flamingo regretted: "It's time, one vote for the 1st. Please answer the [-]nd."

Number Two: "Number One."

Flamingo: "Please answer number three."

Number Three: "Number One."

Bobby asked curiously, "Why do they all vote for No. [-]?"

Liang Xi said from the side: "This is the smartest vote. If No. 1 votes for himself, it means that he is in danger of death. Others voted for No. 1. One reason is to protect themselves, and the other reason is to vote for himself. It is to reduce the risk of hostages. The death rate of No. 1 is only 25%, there is no need to add another person to take the risk. The longer the hostages survive, the greater their hope of survival."

After finishing speaking, it was time for No. [-] to speak, and No. [-] said: "No. [-]."

Flamingo snorted: "Interesting choice, please choose number eight."

Number Eight said angrily, "Number Seven."

The flamingos applauded: "It's time to reveal the answer, let's count down to 3, 3, 2, 1..."

After the flamingos finished counting, the screen of No. 15 was covered with snowflakes.Flamingo regretted: "No. [-] has left us forever. After [-] minutes of rest, we will start the second round of the game."

Liang Xi clarified again: "From their tone, it should be a personal grievance for number seven to vote for number four. Number eight is angry at number seven's behavior and drags number seven to the execution platform. Number seven's irrational behavior will become The public enemy of the hostages, if there is a vote next time, the person who will be out will definitely be No. [-]." No way, you can't make everyone so smart, you can't ask everyone to be so smart all the time.

The policeman on one side hung up the phone: "No. 4 bomb detonated, no police casualties, confirm No. 4 is dead." In addition to No. 4, there is another person who was identified by the police as No. 3, because no one voted for him. vote, so he survived.

Liang Xi said: "If I guessed correctly, the second round of the game was voted by netizens. The first round was to hand the knife to the hostages, and the second round was to hand the knife to the netizens. Because one of the reasons why Johnson's wife committed suicide was cyber violence. Number Seven will pay for his actions."

The job of Helen and Liang Xi is to prevent the hostages from dying as much as possible, pass the customs as much as possible, and buy as much time as possible.If the right to vote is given to netizens, one person will die, because there must be netizens voting.

Liang Xi wore a mask and waved to the camera. Flamingo turned on the voice number 9 and asked, "What's the matter?"

Liang Xi said: "You play games like this, which makes us police have no sense of participation."

Flamingo asked, "Any suggestions?"

Liang Xi said: "Let's bet against each other. If I win, you release a hostage. If I lose, you kill a hostage."

Flamingo: "You policemen are just supporting roles, so stay away." After speaking, the voice was cut off.

Police report: "Two more hostages were found, No. 1 and No. 2."

After 5 minutes, the police reported: "Two more hostages were found, No. 3 and No. 5."

除4号死亡之外，警方已经找到了1、2、3、5、8五名人质。只剩余6和7没有找到。另外一边技术人员有一个好消息一个坏消息。坏消息是火烈鸟使用的服务器被藏的很深。短时间内技术人员无法定位服务器位置。好消息是通过画面和声音，确认7号距离火车站不远，目前正在测算太阳阴影，以获得比较准确的位置。

Liang Xi asked himself: "Where is No. 6?" The background of No. 6 is different from other Internet celebrities, and the live broadcast of other Internet celebrities can be seen outdoors to some extent. Number 6 is completely indoors and does not make any noise.The interior is very simple, with a dilapidated sofa, two white walls, a half-new refrigerator, and the floor is a bit bumpy concrete.No character, no direction.

At the same time, No. 6 is different from the others. No. 6 wears a black sweater, a hood, a mask and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.According to the method of exclusion, No. 6 should be the Croatian battle royale king Anderson, but because of his loose and tight clothes and his faceless, the police have not confirmed his identity.He was also the only person police were unable to identify.

……

At present, the case is under the charge of Assistant Director Downer, who is the top head of the frontline police department of the London Metropolitan Police Department. Downer immediately faces a very difficult problem.No. 7 will be found soon, should we let the second round of the game begin now, or should we give up No. 6 to rescue other hostages?Or keep playing until number 6 is found?Because the live broadcast of killings is particularly eye-catching, it has already attracted the attention of officials from various countries.Many folks expressed disgust at the live broadcast of killings.

Facing the difficult problem of the track game, Tang Na is under a lot of pressure now.He hoped to quietly ignore the game he was facing, but Flamingo did not intend to let him go.

火烈鸟：“欢迎回到第二轮游戏，我现在通报下具体情况。警方已经顺利掌握了1、2、3、4、5、7、8七位人质的下落。扣除已经死亡的4号，警方有能力一同切断信号，拆除六名人质身上的弹炸。代价是6号人质的生命。可是如果继续玩游戏呢，其他本可以获救的人质有可能死亡。”

Liang Xi felt very bad, as if he was watching Johnson playing the Internet celebrity festival, and everything was going on according to Johnson's rhythm.Johnson and Flamingo were prophets, fully prepared for what happened.

Flamingo said: "Since the British police are so incompetent, it is up to the mentally handicapped netizens to decide. Everyone can vote in the voting area of ​​the live broadcast website, and the hostage who gets the highest number of votes will die. The voting time is 5 minutes, and the timer starts. Here I am Just a reminder, if everyone votes for No. 6, this hostage crisis will end. At the same time, don’t forget that it is No. 4 who killed No. 7. Should you vote No. 4 for revenge for No. 7, or help the police vote for No. 6? How about lifting the hostage crisis? The power is in the hands of you dear brain-dead netizens, please vote.”

Bobby asked in Liang Xi's ear, "Who will be out?"

Liang Xidao: "No. 7. From the attitude of Flamingo, what he hates the most is not Internet celebrities, nor the police, but netizens. It seems to be a kind of extreme mentality that has suffered from Internet violence."

Bobby said: "People are subjected to cyberbullying every day. Many trolls are not brainless, they just don't want to use their brains, and they don't care about the truth. For many people, it's enough to be happy. For example, there is a video saying: A Northern Irishman The littering was stopped by the English, and the Northern Irish were beaten by the English for using violence. Netizens in Northern Ireland will make excuses for the littering of the Northern Irish, saying that the setting of trash bins in England is unreasonable. They will focus on attacking the English for being self-righteous , there is language provocation and so on.”

Bobby said: "On the other hand, when Englishmen litter and are beaten up by Northern Irishmen, and Northern Irish netizens applaud collectively, they will spray Englishmen into sieves. Internet violence includes various factors such as position and class." Bobby said. There is quite a lot of research on the network ecology.

Liang Xi entered the detective mode. It was known that Johnson organized the Internet celebrity festival, and it was known that Flamingo had kidnapped eight Internet celebrities participating in the Internet celebrity festival and Johnson's brother-in-law Jesse.First question, is Johnson related to flamingos?Yes, for sure.There was a contradiction. Johnson's Internet celebrity festival was robbed of the limelight by the flamingo killing live broadcast.Yesterday's Internet celebrity festival, which received the most attention, was deserted today.The question is: Why did Johnson smash his own brand?

The second contradiction is that Johnson can hire someone to kidnap eight Internet celebrities with the cooperation of Jesse and arrange them.But was Flamingo someone Johnson hired?not like.In other words, there should be three Internet celebrity killers, Jesse, Johnson and Flamingo.Johnson must be in the game of dominating the Flamingos, but he also has to protect himself.

The biggest problem is hostage No. 6, whose identity cannot be confirmed, and where he is being held is different from other hostages.

Based on all the clues, No. 6 should be the theme of Internet celebrity festival and flamingos.The question is back again, is there any point in the Internet celebrity festival?Johnson can let all the Internet celebrities set off together, kidnap eight Internet celebrities halfway, and then explain that because some Internet celebrities are missing, the Internet celebrity festival will be postponed.Are you mocking the police?Is it to insult Internet celebrities?Or just to prove you're not a flamingo?
At present, the flamingos are attacking three camps, the kidnapped hostages of Internet celebrities, the police and the majority of netizens.In the case of Johnson's wife's death, all three camps are responsible.The most wronged are Internet celebrity hostages. The reason why they became hostages was that they had an affair with Johnson’s wife. The Internet celebrity who broke the news that Johnson’s wife had cheated was also the battle royale king.

Therefore, Liang Xi believes that the hostages are the least important camp.Since Johnson can hire someone to kidnap, why can't he hire someone to kill his wife's partner and whistleblower?There are many answers to this question, perhaps Johnson does not want to do anything to them for the time being.Perhaps Johnson saw them as secondary responsible for his wife's death.

There are so many netizens, they don't care about being used, and even if they are used, they don't feel ashamed.Even if Johnson used their vote to kill a hostage, netizens would feel no guilt.After all, netizens belong to the justice camp.

So there is only one answer, the target of the flamingo is the police. Game No. 6 is the problem given to the police by the flamingo.Flamingo did not deliberately hide the location of the seven hostages, but deliberately hid the number 6 hostage.This is the same genre as the famous game on the rails, and arguably worse.In the rail game, you don't change the track, and five people die, but you didn't kill these five people.Changing tracks, you save five people while killing one.

Flamingo's game is to not move the rails, and the remaining 7 hostages must die.Only No. 6 died when the rails moved, and six people were rescued.The police may build a new railroad track during this period and find hostage No. 6, so everyone will be happy, and there is a possibility of luck.But betting on luck must take the lives of other hostages as chips.

Liang Xi was still thinking, and the flamingo said: "It's time to vote, let's take a look at the number of votes. The third place is No. 1. Congratulations on your escape. The second place is No. 6, the same Congratulations. The No. 7 ranks first, and he won a one-way ticket to hell with more than twice the number of votes of No.2."

Flamingo said: "Next, we will give number 7 1 minute to explain our last words. By the way, the police are right next to number 7. They have the ability to rescue number 7, but they can only watch number 7 turn into dust. Haha Ha ha!"

No. 7 was very excited after announcing the number of votes, and kept yelling. After the flamingo turned on his voice, everyone heard an extremely vicious curse: "Curse all those who voted for me to be abandoned by God, you and your parents and children will die!" Go to hell with me. Every night you go to sleep, you will see me crawling out of the earth and choking you, so that you will always remember my shattered face."

In 1 minute, No. 7 was very emotional, yelling at the top of his voice, making hysterical complaints to all the netizens who voted for him, the cold wind like hell, and Liang Xi felt chills when he heard it.Then everyone saw him explode.This time the camera is very good, it only shakes a few times, the number 7 is missing in front of the camera, and there is a bloody corpse with many missing parts.

Countless viewers who watched the live broadcast faced the impact of the video head-on, with exclamations, vomiting, guilt, and anger.
