After successfully telling everyone who the boss is, they proposed what game to play next. How about playing the King's Game? No one objected. Of course, the game is very simple: there is a box with some ice balls inside. If you draw a ball with "King" written on it, you become the King. Besides that, there are also balls with numbers 1 to 7 written on them. If you draw the ball with "King" written on it, you become the King, and you can order anyone who draws one of the numbers to do anything. The first time, the person who drew "King" was number 5. Number 5 said that before the next round of the game, everyone had to hold hands. Then, numbers 2 and 5 were drawn, which were Ah Lou and Lou 6, meaning two men had to hold hands. Okay, the second round was Lou 4's turn as King. Lou 4 said that numbers 6 and 7 had to kiss. Then, numbers 6 and 7 were Lou 5 and Lou 1. The man who was Lou 5, who was very thirsty, went to Lou 1. However, it seemed that holding hands and kissing were not very popular with the audience. They only gave them an hour and a half of game time. Okay, the third round, Ah Bai Lou's turn as King. He said that numbers 3 and 2 had to fight. The drawn numbers were 2 and 3. Bai Lou said, "Oh, that's right. I also think it's not interesting for Lou 2 and Lou 3 to fight. Let's change it. Let the person who drew number 2 fight with Lou 2." The person who drew number 2 was Lou 6. Both were strong, but finally, they started to play a violent game. Lou 6 was the big guy Ah Su, and Lou 2 was the delivery guy. The two finally started fighting. At the beginning of the fight, the delivery guy was at an advantage because he had been eating congee for two days. However, do you remember that when they played the palm game earlier, his right hand was injured? So, Lou 6, the big guy, grabbed Lou 2's right hand and attacked him. Finally, Lou 2 was beaten to a pulp by Lou 6, almost to death. This fight earned 50 hours of game time. Okay, since this incident happened, everyone started discussing. "Hey, this is not good. If someone dies, what will we do?" Is there any way to do something like "Truth or Dare"? If you don't want to tell a secret or execute the King's order, is there an alternative? Can you do something else to replace it? Lou 4 thought of a way: "Let's use electric shocks as punishment. If you don't listen, I'll shock your neck. You've seen people being shocked on TV. It shouldn't kill anyone." Okay, that's it. Everyone agreed. "Okay, that's fine." Ah Bai Lou also said, "Great! I can't wait. I really want to be shocked by electricity." Okay, quickly, it was the next day, and they started playing the King's Game again. This time, Ah Bai drew the King again. Lou 8 said, "This time, I want the person who draws number 4 to touch the person who draws number 5, and they have to touch each other's private parts. The one who draws number 5 to be touched is Lou 5, and the person who draws number 4 is Lou 3." Wow, Lou 5, who had been waiting for a long time, was happy. "Ah, finally, someone is going to touch me." But Lou 3 refused. I don't know if he was reluctant to touch or if he was really a virgin. You can judge for yourselves. Since Lou 3 didn't execute the King's order, he had to accept the punishment. He had to be shocked. He had to stand in front of the electric chair and wait for Lou 5 to execute the shock. At first, everyone thought it would be a light shock. Unexpectedly, when the shock was applied, Lou 3's body convulsed, and then all the fluids flowed out. Because it was an electric chair, it flowed down, all over his face and mouth. But because Lou 3 was already immersed in the fluids, everyone realized how powerful the electric shock was. Lou 3 was shocked unconscious. This incident earned 60 hours of game time. After waking up, Lou 3 felt very ashamed, as if he had been violated. Do you remember that in a previous episode, we mentioned the author's point that the most painful moment for a person is not when they fail, but when their self-image collapses? Why is shame sometimes more terrifying than death? If you feel humiliated at home, at most you feel embarrassed. But if you are under the spotlight, with a large number of cameras filming you, you have no choice but to imagine what you will become in the eyes of others. Because humans are social animals. We want to appear important and powerful in the eyes of others. So, if we expose our most vulnerable and unbearable side, many people cannot bear it. Therefore, the author mentioned that shame is a powerful form of control. This is also why punishments like being whipped, having your head shaved, having your neck hung, or being tattooed on the face were so effective in history. They instilled fear and made people obey voluntarily, even without the need for further violence. So, what is called social death is what we often call social death today. We see many people in society who are in debt but refuse to seek help from others, who are afraid to call the police, who are deceived and lose their entire fortune, who fail in business and jump off buildings, who are sick and refuse to see a doctor. These are all related to us. So, after everyone left his room, Lou 3 cried in his room. He told himself, "Alas, next time, if you ask me to touch private parts or do anything, I'll do it. I don't want to endure this kind of shame." Okay, quickly, it was the next round of the King's Game. This time, Lou 4 drew the King. He said that numbers 1 and 2 had to play rock-paper-scissors. Alas, it's Lou 6. Who made the dice with the characters on them? It's a conspiracy. The loser has to accept the electric shock. Finally, Lou 4 lost and had to accept the electric shock. Alas, his face was already bruised, and he still had to be shocked. Of course, it was. Wow, it was the third day. Ah Bai Lou drew the King again. He said that numbers 1 and 7 had to exchange intestines. The drawn numbers were 2 and 3. Everyone thought Lou 3 couldn't bear it because Lou 2's face was already bruised. So he said, "I give up. I give up. I give up." So, Lou 3 was once again defeated and once again suffered. Lou 3 has already gotten used to it. That night, Lou 1 went to talk to Lou 6 and Lou 2. Because Lou 1 was the clown, he discovered that there was a problem with the game. Especially when they played with their palms, when they used their palms to catch the balls, and after Lou 2 and Lou 6 announced whether they chose heads or tails, they opened them. During this time, Lou 4 had enough time to flip the balls. And because they used their palms to touch the balls, they could recognize the patterns on the balls, whether they were heads or tails. If it was the back of the hand, they couldn't do it. Lou 1 said that these were just simple magic tricks. The whole thing must have been manipulated. And during the game, because no one could come out, Lou 4 secretly tampered with the ice balls. By touching the ice balls, they would feel a sticky sensation. So, you could know whether the ice ball you touched was the King. So, Lou 4 and Lou 8 conspired and manipulated the game. So, you would always see either Lou 4 or Lou 8 as the King. Therefore, Lou 1, Lou 2, Lou 3, and Lou 5 decided to expose this scheme. But on the spot, they couldn't do it. They had no evidence. So, after catching Lou 4 tampering, they threatened him to continue playing in their usual way. I've thought for a long time about how they usually tamper with things. Because the ice balls are mixed together, even if you stick something on them, someone else might draw them. How can you ensure that one of them will draw the King? I've thought about it for a long time. It's like this: someone is in cahoots, and the drawing is random, with 8 people drawing together. How can Lou 4 stick the glue on the ice balls, and how many should he stick to ensure that one of the three conspirators can draw the King, and the other two are not punished? I can think of a reasonable way. It's not as simple as sticking a drop of glue. He should mark the ice balls. They are originally smooth. After you apply glue, their surface will become rough. For example, a cross. For example, if you touch a cross, you draw the King. The person who draws the King will definitely not draw these two numbers. And the drawing is strictly controlled. As long as Lou 4 and Lou 8, as a team, draw in the top three in a round, and the first person must choose the King, meaning they must choose the cross mark. The second must choose the one-character mark, and the third must choose the equal sign mark. Then, there's no fear of mistakes. I think this is how cheating is done. So, what will Lou 7 do after catching Lou 4? He only needs to tell Lou 4 to be the first person to draw the ball the next day, but he cannot draw the King. The King also cannot be marked with a cross. It should be changed to other marks, such as a circle. And the two safe balls will continue to be the one-character and equal sign marks. Let Lou 6 and Lou 8 continue to draw these balls. Lou 1 will be the fourth person to draw the ball. He will definitely be able to draw the ball with the circular mark, which is the new King ice ball. And he already knows what balls Lou 8 and Lou 6 drew. If Lou 6 draws second, he will definitely choose the ball with the one-character mark, and Lou 8 will choose the ball with the equal sign mark. This is how it happened. So, on the second day, Lou 1 drew the King and drew number 6. Lou 1 said, "I also want to play the coin toss game. Then, the person who draws number 4 and number 6 will have to guess. The one who guesses wrong will be punished by electric shock." The person who drew the ice ball number 4 was Lou 5. The person who drew the ice ball number 6 was Lou 8. Because of the coin toss, Lou 1 was shocked. Lou 1 is the clown. Lou 6 lost. Finally, Lou 6 had to accept the electric shock. Because Lou 7 was another participant, he was responsible. The whole thing was arranged by them. Lou 8 was ready to accept Lou 7's punishment. At this moment, Lou 6 kicked Lou 7 in the waist and knocked him down. He picked up the electric baton that fell and went to shock Lou 7. Of course, Lou 7 was shocked. This episode ends like this. What does this episode want to express? What I see is the attempt to improve the revolution by using gentle methods to reform, then the collusion of violent institutions and the elite to suppress the reformists, and to hold the revolution in the cradle. When Bai Lou rides on everyone's heads, everyone knows it's terrifying and unbearable. So, Bai Lou has become the common enemy of the lower class. And the games are becoming more and more excessive. Lou 2 was injured, and Lou 3 was electrocuted. You even manipulated the game and cheated for others. Lou 7 also used his intelligence to investigate this matter. So, Lou 3 and Lou 7 formed an alliance to some extent. And Lou 7 is a reformist. He analyzed early on that if we directly expose their evil deeds, they will definitely not admit it, and they will make more excuses, and even hide in a room again and refuse to let us eat. So, you cannot directly confront them. We can only use a way to lure them out. So, what did Lou 7 do for everyone? Do not confront them directly. Do not have direct conflict with Lou 8 and them. Instead, use their own tactics to counter the system by exploiting its loopholes. So, we will find that reformers usually believe that the cost of reform is far lower than the cost of revolution. Everyone has nothing to lose. Throughout human history, we have seen such figures. I almost wanted to shout through the screen, "There's a bad guy!" On the other hand, we find that the elite group represented by Lou 8 colludes with the violent institution of Lou 6. Once the elite institution and the violent institution form an alliance, they no longer need to play superficial pleasantries with you. All pleasantries are legalized. Lou 5 and them followed the game rules and sent Ah Bai Lou to the guillotine to be executed. But at this moment, Lou 6 appeared to protect the master and kicked Lou 7 in the waist. What does this kick represent? That kick represents the failure of reform. Let you know the truth. Who is in charge? I am in charge. Even if you know it's cheating, you should still go along with it. You shouldn't come out. Thus, the revolution is deceived in the cradle. This episode also shows how the law is trampled upon. On the surface, the game still has rules, but having laws and rules does not mean you still have a just society. Ah Bai Lou even said, "Wow, I'm looking forward to being shocked by electricity." But he was just saying that. It's like an angel breaking the law is the same as a commoner. We are all following the rules. We are very law-abiding. We are very much in line with the spirit of the constitution. But is that really the case? The rules have always been made by Lou 8 and them. I follow them when I want to. When I don't, you shouldn't take it too seriously. Having laws and rules does not mean having justice, righteousness, or fairness. Of course, you can refuse to play the game. You can refuse to execute the King's order, but your refusal has a price, and there are consequences. You will be shocked, and you may not have food to eat. So, do you agree or disagree? Under these circumstances, everything becomes normal, but freedom has quietly left them. And from this episode onwards, the country formed by these 8 people will begin to normalize violence. So, how will the plot develop? We will have to listen to the next episode. Okay, my time today is almost up. I'll see you in the next episode. Goodbye.

[Singing] It's too far to go back step by step. Time flows, and people [Singing] change, [Music] and we [Singing] why are we standing here? Living different lives in the same space, someone is laughing. [Music] Someone disappears, leaving behind [Music] time. [Music] [Singing] Was I originally like this? [Music] Or did I create this place? The rules are quietly laughing, [Music] and we look at each other. [Music] Believing that the enemy is always [Music] nearby. [Singing] Time flows, and the past is forgotten. [Music] All that remains is the world of numbers. [Singing] If you have a little more, you will be happy. [Music] I am alone.
