Chapter 286: The Lab Mouse, Amir — Dead
The white man raised his crossbow again, aiming it at Amir.
Amir kept backing away. If there had been a third person present, they would have noticed that Amir's legs and arms were trembling violently.
Especially his hands - as he gripped the baseball bat, it kept shaking with exaggerated movements.
He was terrified.
Because he knew that just one arrow would probably end his life.
Even though he had never used a crossbow before, at 39 years old, he still had that basic understanding.
"Please, don't kill me, don't kill me, okay?!"
"I have a wife and two children to support! If I die, their lives will become unimaginably terrible!"
Between resistance and begging for mercy, Amir chose to beg for mercy.
This might be related to his strategy of always playing it safe, never having fought back against any of the deranged criminals. But unfortunately, does begging for mercy work?
It might work with someone who still has a conscience, but it definitely wouldn't work with the person before him.
Seeing that the white man in front of him hadn't lowered his crossbow,
Sweat poured from Amir's forehead like rain, droplets pattering down his face, some dripping onto his clothes, others splashing onto the balcony floor.
"Please! I came here just to make money! Enough money! To take my wife and two children to immigrate to the UK, to give them a better life!!"
"I'm really begging you! Spare my life!"
"You look about my age, you must have a wife and children too, right? If you have a family, you should understand that losing a father would be catastrophic for them!"
Amir knelt down and began kowtowing frantically to the white man before him.
At the same time, he tried to play the empathy card.
After all, he felt the man looked about his age.
Sure enough, the white man who had shown no reaction until now suddenly responded.
He still didn't lower his crossbow, but said:
"Yes, I have a wife and a son."
Hearing this, Amir thought there was hope and intensified his kowtowing and begging.
But then, the white man's next words chilled his heart completely.
"But they're both dead, they died a long time ago."
"And they died at the hands of you damned Asian devils!!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
An arrow whooshed through the air.
Aimed at the kneeling Amir, who quickly rolled to the side upon seeing it.
The arrow blasted into the balcony concrete, with only the arrow's tail visible outside the cement.
The arrowhead and other parts had already penetrated deep into the concrete.
Amir was horrified by the arrow's power - if it hit his body, even if it wasn't a vital spot, he would definitely suffer serious injuries.
And now, with this arrow fired, he immediately had to think about what to do before the next arrow came.
How to escape?
Oh, damn! If only he had requested a lower-floor room when changing rooms earlier!
That way, he could have jumped from the balcony.
But now, his new room was even higher than the previous one!
A full 50 floors!
If he climbed over the balcony railing and accidentally fell,
He would absolutely die without question!!!!
Since he couldn't escape, there was only one choice left!
That was! To fight!
Amir made up his mind.
For himself, for his wife, for his son, for his daughter!
He would fight!!!
"Ahhhhhhh!"
He roared, psyching himself up, turning around and getting up, ready to fight the white man with his baseball bat!
But what he never expected was that just as he turned his head,
An arrow shot toward him at blinding speed.
Moving faster than he could possibly react, the arrow pierced straight through his head.
As the arrow penetrated his skull, it carried his head and body backward.
Then, the arrow embedded deeply into the balcony concrete.
Amir's head was pinned along with it, fixed in place by this arrow.
"How... is this... possible..."
Before dying, Amir's mind held only disbelief.
Because he never expected this third arrow to come so quickly.
Clearly before, he had watched the white man handle the previous arrows very slowly!
The preparation time had been quite long!
Amir died with his eyes wide open.
Even in death, he didn't know that the white man was using a military repeating crossbow.
As for why three arrows were fired in total,
And why the second arrow had such a long preparation time,
That was because the white man had done it deliberately.
Even though there were still arrows in the magazine, he didn't use them, instead taking arrows from the quiver on his back and loading them in front of Amir.
This was to create a false impression and cause misjudgment.
As for whether this misjudgment would be useful later,
Well, today it definitely came in handy.
After killing Amir with the arrow, the white man didn't bother to dispose of the body.
Instead, he chose to turn and leave.
Of course, when leaving, he definitely closed the door behind him.
As for why he didn't dispose of the body, it was because someone would do it for him.
Those professional cleaners.
After Amir was confirmed to be thoroughly dead,
The beautiful host from A San Country in the Neighbors Over Distant Relatives live stream room
Announced Amir's death and that his betting amount of 500 million USD would all be transferred to the final prize pool.
After the announcement,
In the live stream room, a group of people from A San Country went wild.
The one making the biggest fuss was
That lizard.
A San—Whoever Mentions Lizards Again, I'll Get Angry: 【Rigged! Absolutely rigged! Damn Neighbors Over Distant Relatives, damn Alice Apartment, damn Macedonia Island!! This is clearly targeting our A San Country! Three lab rats died in one day, and two of them are from A San Country - if this isn't blatant targeting, then what is?!】
Hua—Middle-aged Uncle fired back strongly: 【Three died in one day, with two from A San Country - that just means your two lab rats in this special live stream aren't skilled enough.】
Because the lizard from A San Country couldn't comment for an hour after his post,
Other people from A San Country argued with Middle-aged Uncle instead.
【Not skilled enough? This is obviously rigged! In one day, both of our A San Country participants encountered deranged criminals, while your two from Hua Country? Not a single encounter! If this isn't rigged, then what is? It's clearly deliberately eliminating our A San Country participants!!!】
Actually, whether there was really targeting or not,
Everyone in the live stream room knew the truth in their hearts.
They had watched who knows how many rounds of broadcasts from Alice Apartment, including special live streams.
This show had absolutely no behind-the-scenes manipulation or deliberate targeting.
These people from A San Country making such a fuss in the live stream room today were purely unbalanced in their hearts, wondering why their country's two lab rats had been so unlucky?!
Dying so quickly...
