[KOREA, 3….2…..1…..go]
Ray Lee leaped forward, his gaze dark and determined, and his jaw set all over.
- What the fuck is wrong with you, Kang whispered.
- You'll be next, our old man whispered.
- Not sure, Kang breathed.
It really wasn't a game anymore, was he doing it for the money?, for the fame, for ego, or just because he could do it?
- Come on, boss, everything is settled, Seo Hwan whispered, almost amused.
But Ray Lee didn't pay him any attention, his footsteps landed heavily on the platform, each time making the metal vibrate with each step, he caused death.
- Damn, he wants to kill himself, Kang whispered, his jaw clenched.
40 seconds
He plunged his arm into the trapdoor, his veins bulging with the effort.
30 seconds
First box, he opens it….
Wrong item, but instead of gently replacing it, he roughly threw it forward with a nonchalant gesture, making the bell ring the whole time.
BANG!
The box exploded into a thousand pieces with a single gunshot.
25 seconds
- This guy is crazy, whispered Viper.
20 second
Second attempt, sweat had already covered his face and slipped a few strands of hair into his eyes, the collar of his coat was completely soaked.
15 seconds
He took out not one but 10 box , opening them one after the other, at a speed and his eyes suddenly widened
A glass of wine
He had found one
Bingo
- This is cheating, cried viper, he has no right
- No joke, we can get more than two boxes out, F-01 whispered.
A wicked smile played on his lips, he gripped the glass in his hand and stood up.
10 seconds
He walked with a heavy, provocative step, glass in hand.
5 seconds
- Hey, come back quickly, Kang yelled.
- Shut your mouth, Ji-yunwoo finally whispered, who glared at him.
- More-
BANG!
A red hole burst in Ray Lee's shoulder, he staggered
[STOP MOVING, YOUR PACKAGE HAS EXPIRED]
3…2..1
Before the timer resets to zero
An icy silence fell over the arena, Ray Lee, his eyes bloodshot, panted, trapped in time.
- Ray…., mumurmura kang
- Stop your nonsense, don't act like you're worried about everyone, it's annoying me, Ji-yunwoo whispered
- I remind you that we are a team and that we represent our country.
- This is our country, well said, I am moved and suddenly taken by a desire for patriotism, the less we are, the more we will have, breathed Ji-yunwoo
- He's not entirely wrong, our old man whispered.
[NEXT ROUND: FRANCE]
Ray Lee stared sternly at the group, but his eyes only saw one, Seo Hwan, the little bastard.
For France it was something else, it was the moment to choose the sheep that would go to the slaughterhouse.
[IN 3…. 2…..1…GO]
everyone avoided each other, no one looked at each other anymore, who would take responsibility.
Ray Lee took the opportunity to withdraw from the platform without incident.
- MOVE, GO GET THAT BOX FOR ME, shouted viper, MOVE YOU ASSHOUSE, YOU GO MOVE,
He lunged at F-01 and pushed him forward
- MOVE YOU FUCKING MORONS
Silence
person
No volunteers
They had all lost their tongues
Viper threw his arms up in the air, exasperated.
- But what are you doing, you want that money, don't you, you dirty bastard, go get it?
He started stamping his feet, picking up each little stone and throwing it at their faces, mad with rage.
K-10 hurriedly walked over to Seo Hwan and leaned over to his ear.
- What do we do? He's mad as hell... It didn't work... You-
He breathed with difficulty, his hands shaking, as Ray Lee got closer with each step.
- Walking? My boss brought us victory, what talent, Seo Hwan whispered, a smile on his lips.
Ray Lee had red eyes, and didn't even bother to respond to his comment, he moved closer to him and smashed the glass on Seo Hwan's head with a gesture.
- You thought you were smart, didn't you? I almost played your game, very well done in any case, shouted Ray Lee.
- That's the game, "boss," I didn't do anything wrong, you just trusted me like I did back then, Seo Hwan whispered.
He stood there, glaring at himself.
- HAAAAA!, roared Viper, his face turning red, what are you waiting for, there are only 10 seconds left
The seconds that passed were a real turtle in his eyes, it stretched like centuries, viper looking around him, ready to explode at the slightest contact, his teeth clenched, his fists bleeding
The rest of his team remained behind, paralyzed despite the large sum that awaited them.
Above everything, the cameras, the scenery, where it all began and where it all continues, the owners, in their beautiful ivory tower.
- I thought humans would do anything for money, one of them muttered.
- Not necessarily all of them, there are cowards and hypocrites, and then all the rest, I fear that death will discourage them, easier games could make them take courage and entertain us more
- You can also kill them all and choose a new, more interesting turn.
- And what else, leave them, each of them entertains me in their own way, I prefer it that way, breathed the only one in front
Silence fell instantly in the room and the game was lucky to continue without incident.
But within Korea the tension was not the same, the opinions were not the same.
- Give me your watch, Ray Lee ordered.
- We're not in middle school anymore, it's not right to steal from your classmates, Seo Hwan whispered, holding Ray Lee's stern gaze.
- Don't piss me off and give me that watch, Ray Lee shouted, and lunged at Seo Hwan.
Seo Hwan pushed him away with a simple gesture and he was immobilized by K-10.
[TIME OUT, FRANCE IS PENALIZED AND 15 SECONDS ARE DEDUCTED FROM THEIR MINUTE]
- Fuck, I don't care, I'm not going to pass by anyway, Viper breathed, throwing his last stones.
[LET AMERICA PREPARE]
But all attention was suddenly pulled away to another world, all eyes were on Korea and at that moment you could say that Kim Young had completely lost his mind.
