No one can predict what will happen, but there is a way better than waiting to die.

The timer on the wall began to count down one minute to eleven. The four people in the C test room sat down against the wall, waiting for the midnight to decide whether to live or die.

Ke Xun and Mu Yiran sat farther away from Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan. In the dark, Ke Xun put his mouth close to Mu Yiran's ear and spoke in a very low voice: "...Actually, my method is not reliable at all. Spectrum."

"Yeah." Mu Yiran felt the heat on the auricle without moving.

"A brother in my university dormitory was electrocuted," Ke Xun said, trying to use the volume that Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan couldn't hear. "He said that the whole person's consciousness has been blurred during the electrocution process, and it is impossible to think. Don't say staring at the watch for five seconds..."

This unreliable method is just to comfort the two girls.

"I know." Mu Yiran finally spoke. After the cold voice was lowered, he felt a kind of abstinence. "But if this experiment is to test human nature or human will, then I think the current intensity that this machine can produce , Will be controlled to the extent that it can keep people awake. It will not only make people suffer extreme pain, but also keep people awake enough to think about trade-offs. This is a very cruel setting."

"That said, I might really try my way." Ke Xun said, suddenly tilted his head and sneezed.

"Cold?" Mu Yiran asked.

"No." Ke Xun rubbed his nose and turned his head back, without saying that it was actually his hair that got into his nostril-if he said it, this one would probably refuse to let him get so close.

"Although you can try your method, the possibility of success is unlikely." Mu Yiran didn't notice it, but continued to say in a low voice, "Let’s not say that everyone’s reaction speed is fast or slow, even the first few times. Luckily, I don’t think those “researchers” will allow this experiment to have problems repeatedly. They will eliminate the problems in time so that the experiment can proceed smoothly."

"So it's very likely that they will destroy the phone?" Ke Xun thoughtfully, "Then we just count five with our mouths, or we don't need to count at all. One person shouts to let go, and the others let go together."

"It's still the same sentence, people's reaction speed is fast or slow, whether they can succeed or not depends on luck." Mu Yiran said.

Ke Xun said no more, and the two fell into a long silence.

After a long period of time, Ke Xun spoke again, but he told Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan of the remedy plan to shout to let go, and finally added: "If unfortunately even your mouth is blocked, it will be in your throat. If you can always hum, but can't speak out, just count five in your heart. Although it may not be successful, we have finally tried our best to survive, and we will not die in one second."

Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan whimpered in the dark.

Ke Xun’s voice made a little smile: "Student Xiao Li, you can think about it this way, maybe you will really wear it this time, dressed as a beautiful and beautiful girl. When you grow up, there is a domineering prince who loves you to death, and various types of beautiful boys haunt you every day if you do not marry you. Since then, your life has reached the peak, so hey, right?"

Li Yaqing grunted twice in his nose, and said vaguely: "I don't want to cross... or rebirth..."

Ke Xun smiled, raised his head against the wall behind him, tilted his face, and asked Mu Yiran who was close at hand but could not see his face: "Do you have any last words to confess?"

Mu Yiran didn't speak, Ke Xun didn't ask any more, and the laboratory fell back into the terrible silence before death.

Time passed by, and death approached step by step.

Finally, there was a torrent of footsteps in the corridor, unhurriedly, walking towards the door of the laboratory.

Ke Xun stretched out his hand, found Mu Yiran's hand accurately in the dark, and held him tightly, tilted his head close to his ear, and whispered: "Yiran, I don’t regret entering at all. In the picture."

How could I meet you if I didn't enter the painting.

This is... his last words? Mu Yiran's hand tightened, not knowing whether he was trying hard or Ke Xun was trying hard.

Immediately before the door of the test room was opened, Ke Xun had already illuminated the phone screen and placed it in front of the two machines.

The faint light was engulfed in the darkness, barely shining half a meter away, and it was impossible to see anything coming in from outside the door, the sound of footsteps clattering, accompanied by vague and vague dialogues that seemed far and near. Walking around indoors sounds very busy.

Ke Xun stared at the direction of the sound, but couldn't see anything.

Suddenly, there was a flash of light in my mind. I wanted to take out my phone to turn on the camera, but remembered that my phone had been highlighted and the screen was placed in front of the machine.

Just as he was about to signal Mu Yiran to turn on the phone, he heard one of those vague voices suddenly increase by a few decibels, and the sound of footsteps clashed towards the direction of the four people.

Ke Xun turned around and suddenly stretched his arms around Mu Yiran tightly.

Mu Yiran paused, frowning slightly-even if the kid Ke Xun didn't care about it, he wouldn't do such a strange thing at such times. He must have a purpose in doing this-what did he think of? Could it be--

Mu Yiran can no longer think about it anymore, only to feel that an irresistible force pulls him and Ke Xun from the ground, and pushes the frame toward the direction of the two machines.

The machine was powered on, and the red, yellow and green indicator lights glowed in the dark. With the help of the faint light, Mu Yiran saw Ke Xun being pushed to sit on the chair on the other side of the same machine. , A few belt-like things were buckled up, and the two people's bodies and limbs were firmly fixed.

Some "people" pressed their heads and kept their eyes on the long electronic screen lit on the machine. A line of instructions for use was displayed on the screen.

If one party lets go, the other party will die.

When he finally fixed his head, Mu Yiran saw Ke Xun turn his face hard to this side, smiled at him, blinked his crooked eyes, and spoke to him twice. Word: Goodbye.

Mu Yiran was shocked by an unprovoked heart.

——Ke Xun intentionally! Intentionally hug him "under the nose" of these "researchers", Ke Xun must have guessed, based on what basis the four people assigned to the C laboratory will be assigned to the same group in pairs-the closer the relationship is, the The higher the value of testing humanity and willpower, last night Li Yaqing was assigned to the same group as her best friend Zhao Youyi, so if these "researchers" consider the relationship as a lover, the possibility of being assigned to the same group will be higher.

Why does Ke Xun want to be in a group with himself and accept this experiment that can only survive by killing each other?

Mu Yiran doesn’t need to guess carefully, he knows Ke Xun-he doesn't even know when he started, just like that-Ke Xun doesn't want him to die, if he is split up with the other two Anyone in the same group must be Mu Yiran who died.

So Ke Xun wants to be with him, he wants to protect him, he wants to personally force him to live.

Even if he died, he would die in his hands.

This fool. Mu Yiran stared coldly at the phone screen not far in front of him. The stopwatch had already started to count. He and Ke Xun had to see the time as soon as the power was turned on, and let go after waiting for five seconds-what a silly way , Only this fool could think of such a silly idea.

All the ideas were so stupid that he wanted to beat him up.

Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan still couldn't resist the fear in their hearts and were so scared that they cried, but this did not cover the beep that sounded when the power was turned on.

Beep--

An invisible fluid that resembled electricity but not electricity instantly rushed out from the end of the wire held in the palm of the hand and penetrated the whole body.

As Mu Yiran expected, this current is not enough to cause confusion, and the pain it causes to the human body happens to be stuck between "unbearable" and "pain to death".

It won't let you die, but you can't stand it either.

This is a kind of pain that makes the whole body like being hammered, burned, acupuncture and ant bite, swelling, stinging, ants eating meat, and hammering bones.

The screams of Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan sounded sorrowfully, and Mu Yiran heard Ke Xun yell: "I let go and let go together! One! Two! Loosen!"

Mu Yiran knew that Ke Xun had to yell, Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan were so crying that they could see the screen of the phone and let them go. Listening to the screams of the two people, if no one was to guide them, they would immediately let go.

Mu Yiran released his hand after Ke Xun's voice. He actually hesitated for a moment. He was afraid that Ke Xun would not let go, and that this guy would be stupid again.

But after another thought, he felt that instead of dying in his own hands, what this stupid guy hopes most is to live with him.

It turns out that he was right. Although Ke Xun was occasionally impulsive, he was never reckless. He was actually a very thoughtful person.

The cry of Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan continued, and it was an excellent phenomenon at this time. The two let go of their hands at the same moment and luckily survived this time.

But the next time it made a comeback, the irresistible force squeezed the heads of the wires into the hands of the four people again, and the current passed through the bodies of the two people on both sides of the machine again, and the screams of Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan also screamed again. .

"I call to let go!" Ke Xun shouted again, "One! Two! Loosen!"

Once again, four people survived by chance.

The stupid idea is silly, but it really worked.

Mu Yiran is not optimistic about this. This method may not last overnight.

It turns out that this method only supported four people for less than ten minutes. The "researchers" seemed to have discovered the problem and they sealed the mouths of the four people.

Not only could he not speak, but he could not even make a sound in his throat.

The direction where Li Yaqing and Cai Xiaoyan were located became extremely quiet, and they couldn't even make the sound of sobbing anymore.

The moment the current ran through again, Mu Yiran stared at the time on the stopwatch on the phone screen.

This method is actually very risky. If the two of them look at the watch one second slowly, they may die instantly because of this slow second when they let go.

But right now Mu Yiran has no time to think about whether Ke Xun is slow or fast for a second. He can only choose to believe in him, and can only meet and kill him head-on, or be killed by him.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

5 seconds.

let go!

I can't hear the voice beside me, I don't know whether Ke Xun is alive or dead.

After a short pause, the current was switched on again-he was still alive, so the experiment continued!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.5 seconds, let go.

After a short pause, the current is turned on.

Countdown. let go. pause. power ups.

Time and time again, in a room without any sound, the cold and cruel process was repeated and continued.

Mu Yiran couldn't hear or see Ke Xun in the dark, let alone imagine his appearance at the moment.

But he knew that he had been working hard, trying hard to live with him.
