Devil's Doom Row

Chapter 258 The Hunger Games!

"Lord Luo Ming, I ask for your help!"

When Luo Ming and Jill came out of the training ground, Birch's voice suddenly came from his heart!

Hearing this voice, Luo Ming immediately felt a little strange. He didn't expect that Birch would contact him so soon; because the two had just experienced a mission together before, and there was only one mission in between, but it was only ten days It took only half a month. Under such circumstances, how could Birch find himself again?

Luo Ming had already signed a contract with Birch with a clearly marked price. Although this contract gave him the right to summon Luo Ming, it also let him know exactly what price he would have to pay once he summoned Luo Ming. There is a welfare clause in the book that asks Luo Ming to help Birch once for free, but it is precisely this time that the free help is extremely important. If Birch does not encounter some problems that cannot be solved, he should not easily contact him.

However, although it was unexpected, Luo Ming was also very happy that Birch could contact him, because now Birch is not just a simple transaction partner for him, just like what Leo said at the beginning, and Birch, who Luo Ming signed the contract with, is now more like his spokesperson in the Doomsday Residence. Through Birch, Luo Ming can not only learn more about the Doomsday Residence, but also get considerable benefits from it!
Previously, Luo Ming was too busy to think about this matter, and when he was free, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. After all, his status in Birch's mind was quite high. It was also inconvenient to take the initiative to contact, so Birch's summoning of Luo Ming this time gave him an opportunity, allowing Luo Ming to use this opportunity to further expand his understanding of the doomsday residence through Birch.

"what's up?"

Under such circumstances, Luo Ming naturally would not refuse Birch's call, and replied quickly.

"Master Luo Ming, I need your help!"

"Oh? Of course." With a slight smile, Luo Ming continued, "But Birch, you should know that there is a price to pay for asking me for help."

"My lord, I, I hope you can fulfill the third clause in the contract you signed with me."

The clause Birch mentioned was exactly the agreement on impermanent assistance in the contract he signed with Luo Ming, and since he asked Luo Ming to fulfill the terms of the contract, he had to accept it no matter whether Luo Ming agreed or not.

"Okay, wait for me."

Without any hesitation, Luo Ming immediately agreed, followed by him and Jill and disappeared into the territory with a bang!

After being in a daze for a while, Luo Ming and Jill saw everything in front of them clearly again. At this time, the two of them were already in a dilapidated cabin. The light in the room was very dim, and only a table in the distance There is an oil lamp on top, and there is a faint flame dancing inside the lampshade, flickering on and off, swaying from side to side, and besides, there is a musty and rotten smell in the air, just like the smell emitted by wood rotten in the damp. The smell of decay.

Looking around, this room is very small, with an area of ​​only a dozen square meters. Apart from a broken table with an oil lamp, there is a small bed, a wardrobe standing in the corner, and nothing else; here It is obviously not hell anymore, but another new mission world. It was after Luo Ming and Jill looked around that they saw a pair of figures leaning on each other. One of them was sitting with his back against the wall, and the other One was curled up in his arms, looking through the dim light, Luo Ming smiled, these two people were none other than his old friend Birch, and the silly girl Aini.

"Birch, Enny, long time no see."

"what!"

Hearing Luo Ming's voice suddenly, Aini, who was curled up in Birch's arms, was startled and screamed, while Birch beside him immediately hugged her at this moment, while stroking her. Nodding to appease, he immediately looked around.

"Lord Luo Ming! You're here?!"

"of course."

After a sentence, Luo Ming and Jill appeared directly in front of Birch and Aini, and after seeing him, especially Jill, Aini, who was frightened before, was not so scared. The silly girl obviously still remembered The two of them, especially Jill, spent a lot of time alone together during the Starship Troopers 2 mission.

Compared to seeing Jill, Birch was obviously happier after seeing Luo Ming. Before, he looked lifeless and full of frustration, but after seeing Luo Ming, he became much better, as if he had hope again. Same.

Just such a change in his expression actually explained a lot of problems. Although Luo Ming didn't know why Birch was looking for him, it seemed that the matter was not small, otherwise he could be regarded as Boqi who had experienced troubles with him. It's impossible for Qi to become what it was before!
"Lord Luo Ming!"

Seeing Luo Ming, Birch was very excited, and immediately took Aini's hand and stood up together, but Luo Ming on the opposite side directly waved his hand, signaling that they don't have to be so polite, and then asked: "Biqi, What's going on, what's the matter with me?"

"Lord Luo Ming, please fulfill the third clause of the contract..."

"Wait, wait, don't worry."

Seeing that Birch said this in a hurry as soon as he came up, Luo Ming hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt him. He knew that Birch must be very anxious now, but being anxious can't solve any problems, and since Luo Ming has already planned to focus on developing him into his own The spokesperson of the doomsday residence will not be perfunctory like treating other survivors, but will still help Birch sincerely, so seeing that he is so restless, Luo Ming directly interrupted him:

"Birch, don't worry, since I signed a contract with you, I will definitely abide by the terms in it, so if you want to fulfill one of them, I will definitely agree, understand?"

"En, en."

"So, tell me first, which mission world is this?"

After letting Birch calm down slowly, Luo Ming asked without haste.

"Lord Luo Ming, this mission world is the movie version of the Hunger Games!"

"The Hunger Games...I see..."

Hearing these four words, Luo Ming glanced around again. Indeed, the environment here is indeed somewhat similar to the style of the Hunger Games. It turned out to be this mission world!

The Hunger Games, this is a famous movie, but it is not just a movie, because it is adapted from a best-selling novel, but the movie basically restores the story of the novel, so whether it is word of mouth or box office They all achieved success, and Luo Ming also has a certain understanding of this movie.

As an adapted movie, The Hunger Games is very good, and it is a rare masterpiece. The movie completely follows the world view of the original novel. The story takes place in North America, which has become wasteland due to disasters or wars. In this wasteland On this day, people established a new homeland called Panam.

The Panam Kingdom divided the entire country into a capital circle and thirteen districts. This new country established on the land that had been abandoned for many years by war and natural disasters undoubtedly represented a kind of hope. These difficulties led to complete disorder and barbarism, and the establishment of the Panam Kingdom did prove this point, but that was all, because this country built on the ruins did not allow people to live a good life that they yearned for.

The country of Panam, which divides the country into thirteen districts, except for the people living in the Capitol in the capital circle, does everything possible to squeeze the people in the thirteen districts, or in other words, the people living in the capital circle It is not an exaggeration to oppress them. Therefore, except for the extremely wealthy capital circle, the lives of people in all other areas have degenerated to the original state of slash-and-burn farming. The establishment of the new country not only did not allow them to live a good life, but even made life worse Once upon a time.

Under such circumstances, the life of the people in the thirteenth district is extremely difficult and the resources are severely lacking, but the people living in the capital circle are singing and dancing, making everyone who sees them have an illusion of prosperity and peace. This is obviously a It is a beautiful and colorful whitewash, and under this whitewash are poor people who have had enough of cruel exploitation and are ready to revolt and riot anytime and anywhere.

In the end, the riot finally happened. Among the thirteen districts, the No.13 district broke out the rebellion first, and took the lead in rebelling against the brutal rule of the Capitol in the capital circle. They won in the end, but the metropolitan area is more than just winning. They completely destroyed District No.13 with atomic bombs!Only after the No. 13 area and the life on the No. 13 area were completely wiped out, the victory was won.

Not only that, after the capital circle completely wiped the No.13 district from the map, it was not willing to give up. In order to prevent similar wars from happening again, the high-level officials decided that every year after the end of the rebellion, the remaining [-] districts would be removed from the map. Select a pair of young men and women to serve as tributes. There are twelve teams in twelve districts. Let these twelve teams of men and women participate in a terrifying duel. The only rule of this duel is to kill each other, and the only purpose is to create fear. The people in the second district dare not rebel, and there is only one survivor, the one who survived after killing all the opponents. The name of this confrontation is - The Hunger Games!
This is the world view of the Hunger Games, which is very in-depth and intriguing. The starting time of the whole story is during the fourth Hunger Games of No.70. District No.12 got a 12-year-old in the tribute draw. Prim, who has just reached the age of the lottery, but in order to prevent his sister from taking risks, Prim's sister, the heroine of the story, Katniss, took the initiative to act as a volunteer to replace her sister and participated in the No.70 Fourth Hunger The game, the first part of the story revolves around No.70's four Hunger Games. Of course, the original book is not just about one Hunger Games, and this part of the plot is just the story of the first movie.

After Burch told the mission world they were in, Luo Ming quickly recalled everything about the Hunger Games in his mind, and then asked: "So, now is the eve of the start of the No.70 Fourth Hunger Games gone?"

If this is the mission world of the Hunger Games, then according to the story line, it should be the eve of the start of No.70's fourth Hunger Games, but Birch shook his head directly after Luo Ming finished speaking!

"It's not...it's the eve of No.70's third Hunger Games..."

"what?!"

Hearing this, Luo Ming frowned fiercely. How could it be No.70's third Hunger Games?This is a full year ahead of the original story!
But Birch, who was opposite him, nodded again at this time, proving that he was right, and now they were indeed a year before the original story happened!And since this is the case, Luo Ming was a little confused, but he followed him and asked:
"What's your mission? The Hunger Games?"

The world view of the story of The Hunger Games is very deep, but at least in the content shown in the first part, except for some bridges showing deep thoughts, the main line is the Hunger Games itself, and Birch and Ernie, who are survivors, since Appearing in such a mission world, then their mission must be to participate in the Hunger Games.

If this is the case, then Luo Ming has probably guessed why Birch is looking for him, presumably not for himself, but for loving you!

Because the so-called Hunger Games in this world may sound scary at first glance. A group of young people are forced to gather together and fight each other. Only the last survivor is the winner. This kind of rule sounds simply inhumane It makes people's hairs stand on end, but in Luo Ming's view, it is nothing. Isn't this kind of lifestyle just the normal state of hell?He seems to have done something similar just a few days ago, right?And in the same way, this kind of thing is nothing to the survivors. To put it bluntly, isn’t it the survival of the fittest? Let alone Luo Ming who lives in hell, even the survivors don’t care about this so-called horror at all. game!

So no matter for Luo Ming or Birch, the so-called Hunger Games is really just a game, they don't care, but it is different for Aini, because once she also participates in the Hunger Games, then it is The identity of the contestant has been changed, and she will become the target of other players. In addition, this girl is not very smart, and her attributes are not high. It is difficult for Burch who participated with her to protect her 100%, presumably because of In this way, Birch will find the one on Luo Ming's head, right?

Thinking of this, Luo Ming felt a little helpless. Originally, Birch still had some skills, but it was a pity that every time he asked him for help, it was because of Aini, and it was the same last time. I really don't know if it helped him or hurt him.

However, when Luo Ming thought of this, Birch's next words made him miscalculate!
"Lord Luo Ming, I am not participating in the Hunger Games this time. My identity in this mission is the tribute mentor. The one participating in the Hunger Games is Aini!"

"Ah..." Hearing this sentence, Luo Ming was completely stunned, and then involuntarily looked at Aini: "My God..."
