In less than ten minutes from the start of the game livestream, the first guest, Garrett, passed away.
Hill, who had been in charge of HQ for a long time, knew very well that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reinforcements would take thirty minutes to reach the scene unless the scene was very close.
Thirty divided by three, each of them would get ten minutes.
But after two of them died, the third might be the one who lived the shortest.
That was because Jeff seemed to enjoy their mutual suspicions and attacks.
There was only one person left. Without a target to attack, what awaited him was perhaps the last ten seconds countdown.
What kind of criminals were the most difficult to deal with? Those who were completely unaffected by the outside world were undoubtedly the best of the best.
Ward, however, said on the side, "I'll let her live to the end."
Luke gave an "oh" and grinned again, revealing two rows of white teeth. "Congratulations, Mr. Ward. Your bravery has activated the hidden Brave Mode! "
Ward and Hill's hearts skipped a beat.
Luke raised the button on the short wire in his hand and showed it to them. "Do you see this? There are actually two buttons on it. If you press the red one, everything will be the same as before. If you press the black one on the back, the button in your hand will activate the trial machine in front of you in ten seconds. "
Both Ward and Hill's faces lit up.
The first time, it was a competition to see who could kill their opponent first.
The second time, it was a competition to see who was more willing to sacrifice themselves.
Hill wasn't too surprised by Luke's "suicide to save someone." After all, few people would give up their lives so easily.
At that moment, ten thousand alpacas were galloping in Ward's heart. F * ck you! Are you a sore loser?
He had just said those words, and this lunatic had suddenly done this.
Also, the front of the button was white with a red light on it, and there was a black button on the back with black electrical tape.
Most of the time, the black button was either hidden in the tape or blocked by Luke's hand. It was impossible to see it at all.
Now that Luke was playing this trick, wasn't it obvious that he had been waiting here for a long time?
You're decisive? This time, it's a test of bravery to sacrifice!
Luke smiled and winked at the camera behind him. "Everyone, you can choose your lucky guests now. What if your wish comes true?"
He turned around and pressed the button without hesitation. "Now, the game begins."
"Ten, nine …" The electronic voice sounded again, making the hearts of the onlookers in SHIELD chill.
Hill's fingers hesitated.
Pressing the button and the scene of Jeff telling her, "Promise me that you'll live on, okay?" were fighting in her mind.
It wasn't that Hill was afraid of death. On the contrary, he needed more courage to survive.
Because no one knew how the psycho Jeff would torture the last person if he couldn't play this game anymore.
If he pressed the button now, everything would be over.
Pressing the button quickly could mean sacrificing oneself for others. It could also mean that one lacked the willpower to give up early. Of course, it could also mean that one was calmly accepting death.
Coupled with the instinctive desire to live, Ward and Hill's expressions changed significantly.
Therefore, as long as a person was a little more pure and simple, they would be able to live or die in a straightforward manner. They would not be so conflicted.
Just like that, the two experienced and thoughtful special agents fell into a torment.
Ten seconds could be a long time, but at this moment, it was undoubtedly very short.
The two of them felt that they had only hesitated for a moment before the electronic voice said, "Three, two …"
Bang!
Ward widened his eyes and lowered his head to look at his finger.
At the last second, it was suddenly pressed down by an invisible force. Just before Hill could, it had successfully killed itself.
At this moment, Ward's heart was filled with astonishment, confusion, and anger.
Then, with a flash of inspiration, he suddenly understood. Using the last of his strength, he looked at the lunatic in the purple suit. "Are you playing with me? … "
Luke grinned, but it was still an exaggerated "laugh" without a laugh. He raised his index finger and pressed it to his lips. "Sorry, yes."
Ward's eyes gradually darkened, and he only heard the last sentence, which seemed to come from the distant horizon, "Just … Just … Just …"
a
joke。”
Everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. was silent.
They had seen everything clearly just now.
Hill and Ward pressed the button at the last moment at almost the same time, but Ward seemed to be a little earlier.
Just this little bit had made him the second person to die.
Although Ward had shown extraordinary coldness and decisiveness when it came to choosing between Ward and Garrett, this seemed to partly prove what he had said earlier.
Perhaps it was because Garrett's life was too painful, so he chose to make the first move?
The deaths of two agents in a row left everyone a little confused.
Nick Fury, however, said, "How long will it take for the rescue team to arrive?"
Sitwell said, "Five minutes."
Nick Fury's face was gloomy, and he didn't say anything.
It was useless to urge him. The limit of a regular Quinjet was there, and it was impossible for it to suddenly reach the speed of light.
In the remaining five minutes, they could only see what this lunatic Jeff was up to.
If he was as straightforward as before, Hill definitely wouldn't be able to survive.
On the other side of the screen, Luke walked to Hill and took the button from her hand. "Congratulations, Ms. Maria Hill. You're the only winner of this game."
Hill's head was a mess.
She hadn't expected Ward to be the one to die in the end.
Had it been easy for her to grit her teeth and sacrifice herself at the last second?
What kind of fate would she face now that she was alone?
Luke touched her head and slowly walked behind her. "Don't worry. The winner deserves a reward."
Everybody on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s side was on edge again. Why did this look so much like an execution?
Then, Luke took out a syringe from behind Hill and stabbed it into Hill's neck with a soundless grin.
It was over! Everybody on S.H.I.E.L.D. exclaimed inwardly. Many of them even stopped breathing when the syringe was inserted.
Seeing Hill slowly close her eyes and drop her head, the thought was even more obvious.
Then, Luke walked to the camera with a smile. "This is the end of this Game of Bravehearts. Please stay tuned if you're interested. The next episode will be with you very soon. Please continue to support us. Good night. "
Saying that, he turned off the camera.
On S.H.I.E.L.D.'s side, the weird smile that was right next to them was still on a lot of screens.
The smile was so pale that it looked like it had been painted. His sunken eyes were surrounded by black circles, and his bright red lip gloss was beyond the thickness of his lips. As he grinned, he formed a classic "bloody mouth."
Coupled with the middle-length hair that was combed back and the purple suit, this final image was deeply imprinted in the minds of S.H.I.E.L.D.
