Silence.
After Yang Feng finished his self-introduction, the room fell silent once more.
Everyone looked left and right, no one spoke, no one wanted to be the first to introduce themselves. They all wanted to observe others first, listen to their self-introductions, and make initial judgments from them.
Whoosh, whoosh—
The countdown sound from a mobile phone seemed a little abrupt.
Finally, someone spoke. The slightly overweight man with sparse hair sitting on the far left began.
“Time is limited. If we keep wasting it, it will be disadvantageous to us.”
“So, let’s go in order from left to right. If anyone doesn’t cooperate or delays, then he is very likely to be a scumbag, and we will kill him together.”
At this, he paused slightly, his expression cold as he looked at the other five people, instructing:
“If you want to live, don’t worry about the law.”
“In this room, there is no law. To be precise, there are only rules, and that rule is Yang Feng.”
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, the man with sparse hair nodded in satisfaction and continued:
“My name is Wang Lei, I’m 29 years old, from Jiangnan City, and I’m a lawyer.”
“I’ve been kidnapped for… I’m not sure… but it’s been quite a while, so long that I’m almost used to it.”
“I vaguely remember I was kidnapped on the day summer just began.”
The other five were slightly stunned, recalling the season they were kidnapped, calculating with their fingers. Then, they all looked at him with complex expressions.
This complex look was mainly pity.
Because this guy was truly miserable!
He had been kidnapped for so long!
Wang Lei noticed the complex expressions of the other five, unnaturally touched his nose, and asked, “Why are you all looking at me like that?”
“Looking at the others’ reactions, it seems our kidnapping duration is not as long as yours.” The middle-aged woman in a short-sleeved shirt, sitting to Wang Lei’s right, said to Wang Lei, “From my clothing, you can tell I was kidnapped in the summer, and summer had already begun for some time.”
“My name is Du Wanjun, I’m 30 years old, from Beijin City, and I’m a head nurse.”
Wang Lei was surprised, “You’re from Beijin City? No, no, do you live in Beijin City?”
Du Wanjun was also a bit confused. She initially thought everyone kidnapped was from the same area. “That’s right, I live in Beijin City. Beijin City and Jiangnan City are quite far apart, spanning several provinces and cities.”
“Haha, then mine is even further. Beijin City is on the northern border of Great Xia, and I’m on the southern border!” A strongly built man in a long-sleeved shirt with a tattoo on his neck pursed his lips, then reached into his pocket and rummaged around a few times, saying in annoyance, “You all look like damn good people!”
“And me, I look quite like a scumbag.”
“However, we can’t look at people with colored glasses, or the situation will truly get chaotic.”
“I don’t want to kill, but that doesn’t mean I can’t kill!”
“My name is Li Xiang, I’m 26 years old, from Tianfu City, and I’m a… coach.”
“I’ve been kidnapped for… less than two months, probably a month and a half.”
It became quiet.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Li Xiang.
To be honest, since the game began, everyone had been paying attention to this muscular man named Li Xiang.
Because he truly didn’t look like a good person; he looked very much like someone involved in gangs.
However, due to his very strong build and somewhat fierce appearance, no one said anything.
After all, this game was not just a reasoning and analysis game; one could act directly without thinking!
And now, everyone grew suspicious of Li Xiang because he hesitated when introducing his profession.
This indicated that his profession was very likely fake!
Yet, no one dared to act, but they began exchanging glances, as if waiting for an opportunity.
The atmosphere also became subtle.
Meanwhile, Yang Feng, who was watching the show, subtly curved his lips upward.
The game was getting interesting!
According to psychology, in extremely tense and oppressive situations, people usually prioritize first impressions.
And Li Xiang’s first impression was clearly not very good.
Everyone began to suspect Li Xiang.
A free-for-all was about to erupt!
Li Xiang clearly felt the atmosphere was off, and his brow furrowed, which also made him look somewhat fierce and sinister. He burst out at the woman to his right, “What are you looking at, damn it? Keep introducing yourself!”
“If you keep dragging your feet, I’ll suspect you’re a scumbag, and I’ll directly attack you!”
“Don’t… don’t… I’m sorry…” A plain-looking middle-aged woman said with a panicked expression, “My name is… my name is Bao Ning… from Xijin City, and I’m a rural person…”
At this, Bao Ning began to sob, “I… I don’t even know what happened. I just finished gathering firewood on the mountain, and on my way home, I was knocked out. When I woke up, I was in a dark room!”
“I don’t even know how long I’ve been kidnapped. I still have children at home!”
“I’m so worried about my children!”
Hearing this, most people’s eyes dropped.
Bao Ning’s words also tugged at their hearts.
Because they all had families.
This also made them miss home.
Gu Qingling wiped the tears from her face, her eyes became firm, and she began to calm down, muttering to herself,
“Jiangnan City, Beijin City, Tianfu City, Xijin City…”
“This… it’s spread across various regions of Great Xia…”
“Why did he kidnap us from various regions?”
“What is his purpose?”
“What are you muttering about? Hurry up and introduce yourself! After you’re done, we’ll move on to the next round of questions! Don’t you dare waste time!” Li Xiang, seeing the next person hadn’t introduced themselves, stood up directly and roared impatiently.
Gu Qingling came back to her senses, pursed her lips, and didn’t voice the doubts in her heart. Instead, she began to introduce herself.
She could feel the atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive, like the moment before a storm.
She didn’t want to get involved; she just wanted to live, so she could only go along with the general consensus for now.
“My name is Gu Qingling, I’m from Shangjing, currently a student at the University of Science and Technology, majoring in Business Administration.”
“I’ve been kidnapped for nine days.”
“The night I was kidnapped, I was celebrating with my classmates, and I was drugged on my way home.”
Everyone looked at Gu Qingling but said nothing.
Only Wang Lei sighed.
He had figured it out; the seating arrangement had a pattern.
From left to right, the number of days kidnapped was decreasing…
He was the unluckiest one!
“Hahahahaha!” Suddenly, a burst of laughter erupted.
Hearing this laughter, everyone was bewildered.
Who had such a big heart?
In this situation, how could someone still laugh? Were they sick?
The source of the laughter was the young man with a sunny disposition, sitting on the far right.
He noticed everyone’s puzzled gazes, waved his hand with a smile, and said:
“Sorry, I really couldn’t hold it in.”
“I originally thought I was unlucky enough to get involved in this kidnapping business.”
“But, compared to all of you… haha!”
“I guess I’m not that unlucky after all!”
“I was only kidnapped for one day! And that was yesterday!”
Everyone: “…”
This young man’s brain seemed to have a problem…
Just because he was kidnapped for a short time… he was this happy…
With Li Xiang’s fiery temper, he certainly couldn’t let him continue to be happy. He directly pounced over, grabbed the young man’s collar, and asked, “Are you wasting time? Are you a scumbag?”
The young man smiled slightly, “Why do I feel like your brain isn’t very smart? Why do you think everyone is a scumbag?”
“Or do you think you’re very strong, so you can do whatever you want?”
Li Xiang’s veins bulged on his forehead, and he grinned menacingly, raising his fist, just about to smash it towards the young man.
But the next second, the world in front of Li Xiang began to spin.
Bang—
The young man directly performed an over-the-shoulder throw, making Li Xiang see stars.
“Sorry, I’m from a sports school; I practice judo.”
“Hello everyone, my name is Ying Lei, and I’m from Shangjing.”
Immediately after, Ying Lei looked at Yang Feng, gave a thumbs-up, and said with an admiring expression:
“Brother! You’re awesome!”
“To actually cross so many provinces and cities to kidnap people from various places.”
“And kidnap seven people!”
“Anyone who didn’t know would think you were summoning a divine dragon here!”
Yang Feng adjusted his glasses and smiled faintly, “Basic operation.”
Ying Lei grinned, “Brother, can I ask you a question?”
