Staring directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

"I assume this face is familiar to you?"

While he was looking at it before paying, the voice behind him sounded again.

"Like I said before, you could have just left and not had to deal with these worries."

"Unfortunately, the nature of some things changes the moment you see them."

"You mean the thing above?"

Fu Qian stretched out his hand and pointed to the top of his head.

The first thing he noticed was that there was a familiar metal mesh on the ceiling directly above the bed.

It was very similar to the net that greeted me below when I fell.

The difference is that the spikes on this web are more than twice as long, and they can be called sharp little daggers. Abnormally ferocious.

At this moment, the net was hanging from top to bottom, and it looked like it was hung there by something. It obviously completely covered the entire bed.

Once it falls, even if the spikes are not poisonous, the person on the bed will be killed instantly.

"Yes, her life and death are now completely under your control."

"Also I thought you might be curious about the circumstances under which this net would fall down."

Jigsaw Brother on TV affirms the problem before payment.

Before he finished speaking, a corner of the bedroom ceiling suddenly opened, and a ladder fell from inside.

"It's very simple, just climb up and take a look."

Are you so well prepared?

Fu Qian was not polite, he stepped forward and tugged on the ladder, while secretly admiring in his heart.

In fact, he could probably guess what was going on above without even looking.

The reason why I am relatively satisfied at this moment is because from the question and answer just now, one thing can almost be confirmed, that is, what is on the TV is not a video, but a real person talking to me in real time.

Although he didn't think he could find this guy and kill him just by relying on this, it was always a good habit to seize every opportunity to get more information.

Soon, Fu Qian climbed up to the ceiling easily along the ladder and found that the space between the two-story building had already been penetrated.

And on one wall of the upper room, you can indeed see the small window.

Meanwhile, not far from that window, a mark spray-painted in bold paint can be seen pointing to a metal box standing in the middle of the house.

Above the metal box is a glass bottle no bigger than a thumb, filled with light blue liquid.

As if he was afraid that he would not know what it was before paying, there was even a special note with paint on the side - [Antidote]

So under normal circumstances, if you climb out of that window, you will undoubtedly see this immediately.

According to normal thinking, this bottle of medicine is undoubtedly aimed at the toxins in his body.

Fu Qian did not rush to get the antidote, but while talking to himself, he searched carefully around and found no cassette or anything like that.

It seems that no matter what choice I make, after the second test, it will change from recording to live connection.

In the absence of other information, at least one hand was disabled and he was poisoned. He would undoubtedly take the antidote when he saw it.

Although the door to this room didn't seem to be locked, it was as if he had escaped.

But normally, the remaining time should not be enough to rush to the hospital for help, so whether the antidote is real or not, you must drink it.

"There is no doubt that this is indeed the real antidote."

And at the next moment, the TV in this room lit up, Brother Jigsaw's puppet mask appeared, and he let out a string of weird laughter again.

"And its dose is just enough to relieve your poisoned state."

"But at the same time, underneath the bottle is a pressure-sensing device."

"If you take away the antidote, a certain mechanism will be triggered instantly."

"And the final result is that the person downstairs will be killed by a sharp blade falling from the sky."

Is that really the case?

Fu Qian sighed without surprise. When he saw the way the antidote was placed, he had almost guessed it.

His antidote is indeed linked to the life of the person below.

"So now you have to face a choice."

"That's whether you want to move the person below to a safe area before you take the antidote."

"Originally, you wouldn't have had this trouble at all. You wouldn't have been aware of this secret killing at all."

"So now, do you want to save the person below?"

"I know this may cause you some trouble. For example, what is your motivation for saving people? How much influence does this person's gender and identity play in it?"

"To make it even more fun, I can tell you something else."

"This person is also one of your secret admirers. Due to her lack of experience, your reptile-like style was easily misunderstood by her, and she became madly obsessed with you."

"In order to have more contact with you, she even managed to convince her parents to allow her to rent a house here on her own."

"However, no one knows that she lives not far from your building, neither her parents nor you."

"And after a period of observation, she even arranged her place to look like your room."

"Of course, she was so guarded that you never knew what she was saying until this moment."

"After listening to this, is it more difficult to make a decision? Hahaha——"

"Excuse me, can I ask a question?"

Fu Qian unceremoniously interrupted the laughter that was exaggerating the atmosphere and pointed to the bed.

"Speaking of so much, who is she?"

…

Jigsaw on the TV was silent for a few seconds.

"Your classmate Trika, don't you remember?"

This person's tone seemed to have changed a bit. He was no longer as enthusiastic and excited as before, and even had a faint sense of powerlessness.

"Not familiar."

Fu Qian said casually, then shook his head.

"Also, isn't this test too easy? Although I don't have any good virtues, it doesn't matter if I save a life, right?"

"Of course it's okay to drag it, so there's another point. Trika was also poisoned."

Um?

"Yes, it's the same poison as yours, but she was poisoned earlier. If she can't get the antidote, her life will reach its end at sunset."

Sunset, that’s not even ten minutes!

Fu Qian subconsciously glanced out the window and found that the sky was getting darker.

So this is why the mission requires you to come back before sunset?

At the same time, he naturally thought of another point.

Can’t you see that the essence of this mission is to save others?

"So there is no point in simply rescuing her from the knife. Her life is at stake."

"And considering that the antidote in front of you is only for one person, if you want to save Trika, you have to give her the only antidote."

"So tell me, what choice will you make?"
