Infinity: Kill your way through the movie world

"Father, are we doing the right thing?"

Bob asked with some fear.

He felt that he might have to leave his name in history. He created a program with such a high mortality rate, and he didn't know how it would be evaluated by future generations. It would most likely be infamy.

Executioner, madman, or doomsday worshipper?

"Bob, according to the world population clock, about 4.2 people are born every second on this planet, and about 1.8 people die every second. You should know these statistics!"

"Even if we expand what we do ten times, we cannot increase the number of deaths to 1.9 by one decimal point."

"But what we did was to successfully prevent the 4.2 newborns per second from turning into 0. You will save hundreds of millions of people!"

"Bob, do you think you did the right thing?"

Wu Heng's eyes changed a bit. He didn't like repeated comforts and explanations. What he needed was execution.

"Father, I understand."

"This is not an aggressive war, this is a worthwhile and necessary sacrifice."

Bob's eyes became firm again. When watching the broadcast content, it was as if he was flipping through a Bible. This was the Bible he formulated.

‘Lord, Amen! ’

Fortunately, Bob is a person who listens to advice, although it takes a little effort from Wu Heng.

"Yes, Bob. There is no need to worry about which one is more serious. The Lord knows how to judge!" Of course, the Lord will probably kill you. If the Lord really exists, Wu Heng added in his heart.

He stopped watching Bob and looked at the Omaha broadcast.

The camera's view is filled with people, all of whom are contestants.

"Get out, get out of here, quickly!"

"GO, GO, GO!"

Amidst the noise and curses, a group of contestants who were screened out were driven out of the competition site by armed police. The helicopters hovering overhead prevented them from being too presumptuous.

As for the idea of ​​whether the police dare to shoot, someone has already tested it just now.

It's just that the person doing the test can no longer make a sound.

"Ah, I give up, I give up!"

Some people had collapsed and left the scene as if running for their lives.

Because of the large number of people here in Omaha, the punishment for screening is not too severe. At least there is no life-threatening risk. This kind of screening is not even the first round. After the screening is completed, the "firewood man" in Kearny City will be carried out. But some people were still scared.

Just because it hurts!

Just looking at this screening item makes people feel like their bodies are breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Now, for a new round of screening!"

"Those who are afraid, please raise your hands immediately and leave the scene."

"Once you go on stage to participate in the competition, you are deemed to have given up your right to withdraw. According to the contract, you must continue the competition to the end."

"Countdown to five seconds, four seconds, three seconds."

On the stage of the competition, a hot blond host in black professional attire was counting down. As the countdown ended, about 300 people raised their hands, and they all chose to give up.

"Fake Squid, what kind of pervert came up with this!"

Amidst the curses, a group of people voluntarily abstained and were screened out.

Without any dissuasion or retention, he just let them go so easily.

This is a rule set by Wu Heng. Killing is not the purpose, but a relatively quick method. The world has never lacked people. What he needs are ruthless people who can overcome all kinds of fears and even fear death, rather than forcing them to stay. of survivors.

Because death itself is the greatest fear.

Those who are forced to stay have flaws in their hearts and will only become food to strengthen the clown.

"Since you are so insistent, please invite new contestants to come on and enter their respective positions according to their own numbers."

The female host's sweet voice sounded, and a hundred people walked onto the stage at once, all holding their respective numbers in their hands.

In order to meet Wu Heng's requirements, the selection competition could only be accelerated, directly screening a hundred contestants each time, and at the same time dissuading those who were timid in the crowd.

There are hundreds of people on the field, divided into groups of four.

The rules are simple: after drawing four cards to decide the order, they play a game similar to Minesweeper.

Everyone was ordered to take off their shoes.

Then hundreds of staff came on stage, wearing masks and gloves, to take out the toothpick boxes they carried with them.

"Oh, your feet really stink!"

A staff member picked up a rough man's dirty feet, which were covered with dead skin, severe athlete's foot, and long nails full of black dirt, and made a comment.

"Hehe, these are standard size 43 male feet. Most people can't stand it." The rough man grinned, and then turned into bared teeth, "Hey, slow down, don't insert it so deep!"

I saw toothpicks stuck in the nails of the rough man's ten toes. The toothpick tips were only slightly inserted, so it didn't hurt.

There are 25 groups on the competition field, each group of four, similar to the "walking machine" fitness equipment used for walking exercises in the park. They form a square from four directions.

In the middle of the square is a steel cube.

The rough man was urged to stand on one of the machines. His feet were tied to the pedals, and the pedals were pulled backwards by 60 degrees by the thick springs at the back.

The rough man's body also tilted 60 degrees, and his arms supported the iron pole in front of him to maintain balance, as if he was half lying in the air.

"All kinds of things, out of every four of you, only one can win, and three of you will be injured. It's too late to quit now. Now that everyone has drawn the cards and arranged the order."

"Then...it officially begins!"

After the host finished speaking, a countdown appeared on the screen in the arena: 4 minutes and 59 seconds.

If the time ends and the contestants’ Minesweeper game has not yet been decided, they will all be judged to have failed and receive punishment.

"ah--!"

A wild scream sounded, indicating the appearance of the first loser.

The screen played back and saw only ten toenails of a middle-aged man with toothpicks stuck in them. After being eliminated, the spring holding his pedals was released, and his feet were quickly bounced back. The toes with toothpicks stuck in them, Kicked hard against the iron wall of the cube.

"Pfft!" There was a meaty sound.

Ten toothpicks completely penetrated the toenail, even passing through the cortex of the first joint, penetrating the skin, and pricking out.

"ah!"

"Tao, no more playing, surrender."

Only those who are immersed in the situation can feel the fear inside. The first scream is like turning on the player, and then a song called "Hooting in Pain" is sung by everyone.

This scene caused all the current contestants to feel phantom pain.

They all felt that their toes were aching!

The most important thing is that the success rate is only one-quarter, which means that 75% of people must endure this kind of pain.

On the field, many people were once again persuaded to leave.

This is exactly in line with Wu Heng’s screening expectations.

It can be predicted that the people left at the end of the game will definitely be top ruthless people, the kind who are ruthless to themselves. This is the kind of person Wu Heng needs.

Wu Heng, who was at the TV station, was silently watching the selection.

Everything currently meets his requirements and is proceeding as expected.

People selected in this way should be more likely to face Pennywise the Clown than the protagonist group, right?

Wu Heng took out the turtle shell and gently folded it in his hand.

The turtle shell was gently moved by him and quickly turned around on his index finger.

He originally wanted to support the protagonist group,

To enhance their spiritual strength, help them face their fears, and shape them into truly strong people.

Use this to enhance your chances of winning when facing Pennywise the Clown.

But Ben's performance after experiencing two illusions can only be said to be somewhat unsatisfactory.

After all, they are just ordinary normal people.

Although they have been the most successful in terms of timing and probability in this world for millions of years.

But this probability

If averaged to a timeline of one million years, it can actually be said to be very low.

The probability of winning the jackpot is lower than buying a lottery ticket.

Especially after Wu Heng's butterfly wings flapped, and the source of the lottery had already learned that someone knew the winning numbers, the probability of winning was really uncertain.

In his previous life, Wu Heng read a novel, but there was a funny story about the protagonist being reborn to buy lottery tickets, but not winning.

Facing this kind of existence whose ontology is the source of the universe, we absolutely cannot gamble.

initial,

When Wu Heng came to this world, he had no intention of starting trouble. He was a little worried.

Because this world has consciousness, it is Ma Zhuling.

Wu Heng didn't feel relieved until he got the turtle shell and figured out the function of the turtle shell because of the clown, and determined that it came from Ma Zhuling and came from an investment similar to the consciousness of heaven.

Since Ma Zhuling also chose to invest in him when he changed his mind, it proves that he acquiesced in his behavior.

Destiny is mine!

That's it, so what's there to be afraid of? Just do what you want.

Wu Heng believed that Ma Zhuling would not care about some sacrifices. It had already seen the birth and destruction of trillions of lives, and it would not sacrifice even a little bit for human beings who might be completely transformed by taking a nap.

The only thing it cares about is the clown, only "it", this natural enemy of the same weight as it.

Wu Heng looked at the selection process at the broadcast station. According to his request, everything must be completed within a week and a specific candidate should be selected.

Because the plot had already begun on the day he came into this world, and there wasn't much time left for him.

"Dingling!"

Wu Heng's cell phone rang.

In this world, mobile phone calls were born in 1975. Two years ago, we got rid of the square brick mobile phones and started to reduce weight.

In Wu Heng's life box, there were mobile phones produced in different eras. He plugged a phone card into an almost old-fashioned mobile phone. Although it was still backward, it was enough to defeat the mobile phone manufacturers in this world.

If Wu Heng was just an ordinary time traveler, he could become a wealthy businessman just by relying on this.

He answered the phone and found that it was Ben Hanscom calling, so he sensed Ben's location and found that he was still in the inner state of Alaska, but had left Hemington City.

According to sensing, Ben's current location should be on the highway, but he stopped moving.

Before Wu Heng separated from Ben, he asked Ben to sign a red paper asking for his name. This has become a must-do for him when facing the protagonist of the plot. He then gave Ben an old-fashioned mobile phone for easy contact.

In a sense, Wu Heng gave Ben a mountain of gold, as long as he took apart the phone to study it.

But he didn't care about this.

"Father, hello, can you hear me?"

As soon as Wu Heng answered the phone, Ben's slightly urgent voice came over, as if he had experienced something.

"I can hear you. Speak slowly, kid. I can feel your panic."

Wu Heng's voice is like a soothing Zen sound, if you ignore his true identity.

"I contacted everyone and they all experienced hallucinations, hallucinations related to Pennywise. The most important thing is that we felt a call in front of us, as if something was urging us to return to Derry quickly. town."

"I originally wanted to persuade them to come to Hemington City together, make preparations with me, and then choose the time to return to Derry Town. But after I made the call, unknowingly, it turned out that I decided to return to Derry town quickly, and even after I hung up the phone, I immediately packed up my greetings and drove off."

"It wasn't until the call suddenly weakened that I suddenly woke up. Why did I do such a strange thing? Everything was different from what I wanted to say. I even agreed on a time to meet with them. When I contacted them again When they went there, they found that everyone had this situation.”

"Father, this is not me!"

Ben finished talking about what he had experienced in one breath, then sat on the slope outside the highway fence and shook his head, trying hard to adjust his emotions. He wanted to stay calm and throw away his fear.

"Did you suddenly wake up just now?"

"Yes, Father, I intend to return to Hemington now."

Ben suddenly had the urge to have a fight with someone and then go to jail to stay for more than ten days, so that he might be able to control himself and not run around.

But after thinking about Beverly Marsh, he stopped this idea. Maybe he should go find her.

"Since it's okay now, you can go back first. If there are any changes, call me at any time. I can feel your trajectory."

After Wu Heng finished communicating with Ben, he hung up the phone.

He was thinking about what Ben said. Regarding that strong summons, Wu Heng even suspected that it did not come from Pennywise the Clown, but was related to the turtle Ma Zhuling.

Especially what Ben said was that just now, he suddenly woke up on the highway.

Just now, it happened to be the time when the first round of screening of the "Fearless" competition was almost over.

This made Wu Heng have some associations.

Earlier, Pennywise the Clown once said that it was the last survivor of an extinct species and the only survivor on a dying planet.

I don't know if this last survivor refers to the only one left among the six demon elements, or to the alien planet where the clone is located.

As for the turtle Ma Zhuling, there are many legends about it, and it is even said that it is dead.

If the turtle dies, then the Ma Zhuling consciousness in this world is probably just a subconscious mind, or a legacy consciousness, and is not that intelligent.

Ben Hanscom and other protagonists will be affected and seem to be summoned back. It is probably the subconscious hand of Ma Zhuling, which is urging the protagonists to return to Derry Town and eliminate the clowns.

Instinct suddenly regained consciousness and was able to get rid of the summons. It may also be that Ma Zhuling saw hope in "The Fearless" and changed his attention.

If so, this is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that if he finally selects the people who need it and face Pennywise the Clown, these people are likely to get bonuses similar to those of the protagonist.

But Ma Zhuling's summoning influence ability revealed this time also made Wu Heng wary.

He wasn't sure if he was immune to this psychological effect.

If, when facing the Joker, he was suddenly influenced, out of his control, and went to fight Pennywise to the death, wouldn't he become an involuntary puppet?

Wu Heng has always been opposed to being a puppet who can't help himself and is manipulated by others, whether it is in the lighthouse or in the plot world.

This was a dangerous thing and he had to be prepared.
