Saw Volume 4 Chapter 80: Vicious Cycle
Zhang Fengyu also started to cut up the body at this time. Although it was difficult for him to do the inhumane thing of dismembering the body, he had no choice. If he didn't do it, he would be the one to die.
Zhang Fengyu suppressed his nausea and pushed the electric saw to saw the body carefully, but he could not control the force. After a few saws, the body was sawed into pieces of meat of varying sizes. When Zhang Fengyu wanted to reduce the area of the pieces of meat, the light on the electronic scale suddenly lit up.
At the same time, the preparation time appeared on the electronic scale: "20, 19, 18, 17..."
Seeing that time was running out, Zhang Fengyu quickly cut up the larger pieces of meat with the electric saw again. When there were only 5 seconds left, Zhang Fengyu put his bloody hands and some residue on the electronic scale.
Zhang Fengyu glanced at the electronic scale, which showed "1.8 kg!"
Zhang Fengyu was quite satisfied with the weight. His goal was to keep the weight of the meat at around 1.5 kg each time. He would never exceed 3 kg because the penalty was only 3 kg. If he put more than 3 kg of meat, wouldn't it be equivalent to being punished every time? 1.5 kg was the middle value of 3 kg, which was neither too little nor too much. His goal was not to be the one with the least weight.
When Cheng En put the piece of meat on the electronic scale, the number displayed on the scale was 2.5 kilograms. Cheng En was quite satisfied with this number. His idea was the same as Zhang Fengyu's, both of them wanted to keep the weight of the meat at around 1.5 kilograms. Although there was one kilogram more, at least he felt that this time he would not be the one who was punished for the smallest weight.
Li Xuan's idea was the same as Zhang Fengyu and Cheng En's, which was to ensure the mass was below 3 kilograms. The mass she weighed was 2 kilograms.
As for Qiao Yan, because her hands were shaking so badly, the pieces of meat she sawed out were relatively large. Qiao Yan had no choice. If she didn't saw faster, she might saw herself. In the end, the weight weighed by Qiao Yan was 4 kilograms.
This time, Chen Ping chose to test it first, so he only put in one hand and some leftover meat, which together weighed 0.9 kilograms.
As for Juedai, they just put a head on it weighing 8.5 kilograms!
When Juedai put the human head on the scale, all the pieces of meat on the six scales disappeared. Li Xuan sighed when she saw this scene. Obviously, her previous idea had been verified. The pieces of meat on the scale could not be recycled. Li Xuan had not said before that she was going to take advantage of the loophole, but after seeing this scene, there was naturally no loophole to take advantage of.
About 2 seconds after the piece of meat disappeared on the electronic scale, Chen Ping's name appeared on everyone's electronic scales. Chen Ping was the person with the least weight this time.
Seeing that the weight he weighed was the least, Chen Ping roughly figured out what the others were thinking. Without any hesitation, he put the pieces of minced meat on the scale one by one. Until the number on the scale showed "3" kilograms, the piece of meat on the electronic scale disappeared, and a new 20-second countdown appeared on everyone's electronic scales.
After testing once, Chen Ping vaguely guessed what everyone was thinking. In his mind, no one would put more than 3 kilograms of meat. If they put more than 3 kilograms, it would be like punishing themselves, so no one would be stupid enough to do that. Of course, Juedai's thoughts were naturally different from theirs, and the 0.9 kilograms he put in was actually not a small amount. He was testing whether everyone would put in very little each time, but the result was that he put the least among all of them. Therefore, he could infer the range chosen by everyone, which was between 1 kilogram and 3 kilograms, and he only needed to take an average value of 2 kilograms and then there would be no problem.
After speculating this, the piece of meat Chen Ping put on the electronic scale this time was 1.9 kilograms.
Although Cheng En didn't know how much others had put in, he thought that as long as he didn't get fined 3 kilograms, it would be fine. He found one that was about the same weight and put it in. This time the weight was 2.6 kilograms.
Qiao Yan looked at the pieces of meat she had sawed onto the ground, and she finally couldn't help but vomit. She didn't think about it anymore and just put a piece that looked almost done on the ground. This time, the weight she put on was 5 kilograms.
Li Xuan did the same as before. She also selected a piece of meat weighing about 2 kilograms and put it on. This time the weight was 2.3 kilograms.
This time Zhang Fengyu felt something was wrong. He thought the weight of the meat he put in would not reach 2 kilograms, but it turned out to be 2.4 kilograms.
As for Juedai, he still didn't think about anything. This time he just threw over an arm weighing 6 kilograms.
After this round, Chen Ping still had the smallest mass.
This time Chen Ping's expression became ugly. The piece he put in was 1.9 kilograms, which was the smallest. That meant that everyone put in more than 2 kilograms each time. The higher the weight, the more difficult it was to estimate. Chen Ping thought about it and decided to put a piece of meat close to 3 kilograms or slightly larger than 3 kilograms next time. This is much better than the possibility of being punished.
Because of Zhang Fengyu's miscalculation, Chen Ping's analysis changed. It was also Chen Ping's change that greatly accelerated the time it took to consume the corpses.
This time, Chen Ping learned from the previous two lessons and put a piece of meat that felt like it weighed about 3 jin, but when it was actually weighed, it was 3.2 kilograms.
The mass that Li Xuan placed this time was 2.8 kilograms, and the mass that Cheng En placed was 3.3 kilograms.
Because Chen Ping had the smallest mass for two consecutive times, Zhang Fengyu was afraid that Chen Ping would suddenly increase the mass, so the mass he put on this time was 2.5 kilograms.
Qiao Yan was also afraid that she would use up the corpse too soon, so this time she put a smaller one than the previous two times, 2.9 kilograms.
And Juedai remained the same, putting on another thigh, weighing 12 kilograms.
When the results came out this time, Zhang Fengyu's 2.5 kilograms had the least mass. With this result, Zhang Fengyu felt that because of Chen Ping's changes, the overall mass had increased, but he couldn't tell everyone, so he could only increase the mass he put out.
As everyone was unable to communicate and were afraid of being punished, in a vicious cycle, everyone's weight kept increasing. In a blink of an eye, it increased from about 3 kg to 4 kg, and then immediately from 4 kg to 5 kg.
After repeating this several times with the bottom line being 5 kilograms, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation, that is, the corpses were almost completely consumed by them, and Chen Ping was planning to take advantage of the loophole and deliberately put in the smallest mass, so that even with the 3 kilograms penalty, it would not reach 5 kilograms.
However, everyone at this time came up with the same idea as Chen Ping, and they all deliberately reduced the weight. In this way, everyone thought that whoever would be fined would be the most appropriate, and they all rushed to minimize their weight and then pay the 3-kilogram fine. However, after a few times, everyone found that the overall weight had dropped again, and as a result, everyone naturally increased the weight to avoid being fined.
After doing this several times in a row, there were only a few corpses left. As for Juedai, who spent the most, he completely consumed all the corpses. However, Juedai's face was still very calm. He glanced at the darkness behind the fence and moved the chainsaw towards the fence. Juedai's idea was very simple. He would die if he sawed himself down anyway, so he might as well fight the ghost before dying.
Soon the railing was sawed off by Juedai, and Juedai flashed into the darkness.
