Chapter 255 Selection of Tributes

"I like this very much..." The old goblin dressed in purple looked particularly satisfied with enjoyment. "Now, it's time for us to choose a brave young man and woman to represent the honors of the 74th Annual Hunger Games 12."

The bell in the square rang twice.

"Let us be as usual, ladies first!" The old fairy named Effie Terrin twisted her butt and walked to the large glass ball used to draw lots.

In fact, no matter whether in the videos submitted or Effie Terrin’s clever words are like a spring, in Chen Yihan’s opinion, there is only one meaning:

Look, we can take your children away and let them play games with their lives, and you can do nothing. If you dare to have a little opinion, we will destroy you, not one, just like destroying District 13.

"This is an opportunity to repent, and an opportunity to be grateful." Effie Terryn walked to the glass ball containing the girl's name, reached in, stretched her hand to the bottom of the ball, and then took out a note from it.

After Effie Terry took out the note, the noisy sounds below suddenly disappeared, and the crowd held their breath. At this time, even a needle fell to the ground, they could be heard clearly.

Chen Yihan turned his head and looked at the people around him.

Looking at their pious appearance, I guess these people's hearts are churning, and they desperately hope not to be themselves, and never draw themselves.

The only thing that is completely opposite to them is Chen Yihan.

Chen Yihan looked very relaxed because he knew that the note with the male surname would definitely draw him.

Effie Terryn walked back to the podium and glanced at the poor people in the 12th district below with a condescending look. She enjoyed the atmosphere at this moment and the expressions of the crowd below.

After pausing, she finally leveled the note and said in a clear voice: "Primros Everding."

There were dissatisfaction whispers in the crowd. As before, everyone thought that a twelve-year-old child was drawn was unfair and was simply going to die.

Chen Yihan also followed everyone's eyes and looked at the little girl who was not too far away from him and was not tall.

Chen Yihan knew in his heart that this selected little girl is the sister of the heroine Katnis in this movie.

"Dear, where are you?" Effie Terrin yelled, twisting her body, "Come on, come on."

Chen Yihan saw that there was no trace of blood on the little girl's face, and her clenched fists hung on both sides of her body.

Her body was stiff and her steps were difficult, and she walked towards the podium like a soulless corpse.

"Plim, Prim!" A hoarse, but sharp voice came from the crowd.

A freckled woman with hair tied in a floral dress squeezed out of the crowd, and the other children all gave her a way to the podium.

Two soldiers intercepted the woman who suddenly rushed out and did not allow her to approach the podium.

There was a curve that was difficult for others to check on the corner of Chen Yihan's mouth. The girl who suddenly rushed out was Katniss, the heroine in this movie.

Katnis was stopped tightly by two soldiers and could not get close to Primros Everdin. She was anxious and shouted loudly: "I want to be a volunteer, I want to be a volunteer!!!"

The two soldiers were pushed away by Katnis and shouted: "I volunteer as a tribute!"

There was some chaos on the stage.

District 12 has not had volunteers for decades, and this regulation has almost been forgotten.

According to regulations, if a child, no matter the boy or girl, has a name drawn, another candidate boy or girl can replace him or her.

In other areas, it is a very honorable thing to be selected at the Harvest Festival ceremony. Many people are willing to risk their lives for this, and the voluntary participation procedure is very complicated.

But in Area 12, "tribute" and "corpse" are almost synonyms, and volunteers have also disappeared.

Effie Terryn was also confused by the sudden situation. She reacted a few seconds later and said in surprise and surprise: "We have a volunteer, this...this is great!"

Effie Terling paused for a moment and said, "But I think that after introducing the winner, there was a volunteer again. This is a little problem. But if someone really volunteers, then we... um... Mr. Mayor?" Her voice stopped and she looked at the mayor sitting next to her.

She wasn't sure of this herself.

"Is this a big deal?" The mayor looked at Katniss, "let her come in front."

Katnis broke through the defense of the two soldiers, ran to Prim, squatted on the ground, put his hands on Prim's shoulders like pliers, and said seriously: "Plim, you have to leave here immediately, go quickly!"

"No, no!!" Prim yelled loudly.

"Go to find mom!" Katniss sternly: "Plim, now go to find mom, go to find mom, Prim, go!!!"

"No! No! No!!" Prim felt a huge force pulling her up and carrying it on his shoulders.

Seeing that Gale who suddenly rushed out had already carried Prim away, Prim waved his arms excitedly, resisting his voice trembling, and loudly instructed: "Plim, go find mom!"

"That's great! Oh, it's amazing!" Effie Tranchi said loudly, "This is exactly the spirit of the hunting game!" She was very happy that something special happened in a district.

"There has been a change in the Drama surname in District 12. The first volunteer in District 12 history has appeared. Take her up!"

Katniss saw Prim being carried to his mother by Gale, and then followed the soldiers and came to the top of the podium.

"Come on, my dear." Effie Terrin welcomed Katnis to the podium and asked loudly, "What's your name?"

Chen Yihan saw that Katnis's shoulders were trembling slightly, and said nervously: "Katnis Everding."

"That girl must be your sister, right?" Effie Terryn handed the microphone to Katniss.

Katniss nodded and replied, "Yes."

"Come on, everyone, let's give the warmest applause to the first volunteer, Katnis Everding, this latest 'tribute'!" Effie Terlin said in an excited voice. After saying that, he took the lead in applauding.

Out of the maintenance of the permanent reputation of District 12, no one applauded, and even the gamblers who usually care the most indifferent to people did not applaud.

Maybe they met Katniss on the black market, or maybe they met Prim, the girl they loved.

Anyway, no matter what, there was no applause in the huge square at this time.

Chen Yihan just saw Katnis standing there motionlessly. The people next to him were expressing their inner dissatisfaction in the boldest way.

There was silence below the stage, which showed that they did not agree and would not forgive the Capitols.

This is not the end, just in the next second, something unexpected happened.

One man raised his left hand, placed the three middle fingers on his lips, and then pointed at Katniss.

Then another, another...one after another, and finally almost everyone raised their left hand towards Katniss, they placed the three middle fingers on their lips, and then pointed at her.

Chen Yihan knew that it was an ancient gesture in Area 12. It meant thanks, respect, and saying goodbye to the loved ones.

At this moment, Katniss seemed to have become a very cherished person in District 12.

"What an exciting day!" Effie Terlin said in a soft voice while tidying up her hair in order to control the situation, "But the even more exciting time has come, our male tribute is about to be produced!"

Effie Terryn quickly walked to the glass ball on the other side and reached one hand into the glass ball on the boy's list.

Effie Terryn did not procrastinate this time, and directly touched a note and took it out. Then she quickly walked back to the podium, opened the note, and pronounced the name.

"Chen Yihan!"

Everyone's eyes looked at Chen Yihan.

Chen Yihan didn't know how the main god arranged it, but he knew that the main god must have added his name to the memories of everyone in District 12.

Moreover, in the impression of people in District 12, he seems not that powerful.

Because all the eyes looked at him seemed to be a little sad, as if he would never come back after he went there.

Chen Yihan kept calm, walked out of the crowd, and followed the soldiers to the podium.

When Chen Yihan walked onto the podium, Katnis looked at him.

Medium figure, relatively strong and strong, with black hair hanging on the forehead.

But why can't there be a trace of shock and fright on his face?

Could it be that he is doing his best to remain calm?

Katniss didn't believe that the boy named Chen Yihan, who usually didn't talk to anyone, could look at this matter so plainly, and tried to look into his eyes, as if he wanted to find his little uneasiness before he could give up.

But to Katnis' disappointment, the boy named Chen Yihan just turned his head, nodded at her, and smiled slightly.

There was no trace of horror in his black eyes, and there was not even a slight uneasiness.

That expression was calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Or, can he describe his expression at this moment, being confident?

"Just now, in District 12, a miracle happened." Effie Terling said, holding the microphone, "Will there be another miracle happen this time? Is there any boy who is willing to become a volunteer like Katnis?"

Effie Terryn waited for a while but received no reply.

"Okay!" Effie Terlin tapped the microphone with her fingers, "Kateniss, Chen Yihan, the two of them are the tributes of our District 12!"

As Effie Terrin finished speaking, Chen Yihan heard the "ding" prompt sound from his main god medal... (To be continued.
