The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 980 - 377: Interstellar Survival Livestream (Part 1)_3

He began to become cynical, drinking heavily, gambling, and picking up many bad habits.

His wife couldn’t endure it, and for the sake of their children, resolutely divorced him.

Separated from his wife and children, He Hongtian’s already somewhat paranoid nature became increasingly distorted.

Ultimately, he brutally killed his ex-wife, and nearly caused the death of his own children.

In the interstellar era, things might be different from the Blue Star era, where power began to dictate.

But there are still laws, and murder must be paid for.

Not to mention He Hongtian’s methods were too brutal, having a terrible impact on society.

Through the trial in the Royal Family court on Empire Star, He Hongtian was sentenced to death.

Before the execution of the death sentence, he was temporarily detained in this prison specifically for serious offenders.

If nothing unexpected happens, in another month, He Hongtian would be executed.

But just at this time, an opportunity arrived.

"Yes! I want to participate!" He Hongtian looked around, but couldn’t find any device like a loudspeaker in this metal-filled cell.

He raised his head, shouting at the only visible camera.

"Adventure live streaming is extremely dangerous, the elimination rate for participants is over 99%."

The same voice, very cold, even slightly disdainful, yet dutiful in reminding: "And being eliminated in the live stream actually means death!"

Which means, among those who participate in the adventure live streaming, only one out of a hundred can survive.

Even if they survive, they may not be whole.

For example, last year’s adventure live stream had 300,000 participants.

No more than three thousand survived to the end, and among these three thousand, only five were uninjured and intact.

The others were either seriously injured or directly disabled.

After being injured, it was nearly impossible for them to receive timely treatment.

Even if they completed the task, having enough money to access a healing chamber, it would be too late, with no chance of full recovery.

Such a brutal adventure game means that ordinary people who join are almost certainly dead.

Although He Hongtian is a condemned murderer sentenced to death, he truly lacked combat power.

The only knife he was skilled with was probably the Lancet.

And what use is a Lancet against unknown dangers, and the vicious criminals, outlaws, and interstellar fugitives?!

So, for someone like He Hongtian, going meant one thing - death!

Perhaps he would die horribly.

You must know, some people who participate in live streaming are twisted psychopaths, thugs at heart.

They are brutal, relish bloodshed, and even deliberately kill others for thrills.

On the Star Network, there are also enthusiasts who in real life might not dare to show it, but in the adventure live room, seeing such "violent aesthetics", cannot help but get excited.

Support and rewards naturally wouldn’t be lacking.

Living off rewards and popularity, those thugs can live a few more days.

If they are luckier, they can survive to the end, then receive "amnesty".

So, this is not just a live stream, but about your life and death.

And so, it is genuinely hard to predict the carnage that those true brutal killers may commit for a chance to live!

He Hongtian, a surgeon who only plays with surgical knives, would be others’ prey if he went, likely unable to last even a day.

"Going means I might die! But not going, I will definitely die!" He Hongtian said calmly.

The cold voice paused for a moment, compassionately reminding one last sentence: "In the live room, you might be tortured to death. And our Empire Star’s death penalty is merely lethal injection, basically not that painful!"

If death is inevitable, dying comfortably might be a kind of blessing.

"I want to live! Even if there’s only a one percent chance, I want to try; this is my only chance!"

Even ants strive to live, let alone humans.

Don’t look at He Hongtian who could cruelly kill his ex-wife and even attempt to "die together" with his children.

But when all was past, alone in this cold, lifeless prison, a strong will to survive suddenly arose in him.

I don’t want to die!

I want to live.

Although as a traditional surgeon, I’ve been abandoned by the era.

However, it’s not completely hopeless.

The healing chambers are too expensive, something the poor simply cannot afford.

If they get injured or sick, they still see ordinary doctors.

I just can’t stand atop the cloud, to be someone admired by all.

But, unable to regain glory, I can still live.

This was the most instinctive thought, until today, for He Hongtian.

But today, he seemed to have a change, even another voice emerged in his mind—

You scum! Bastard!

Being sentenced to death is what you deserve, and you still want to escape death?!
