Chapter 65: The Team Behind It
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
This time, the live broadcast of death used a composite scene from two different movies. In addition, Jack also used soundproof cards, signal blocking cards, and a series of prop cards. In total, he used 300 judgment points. He had designed it in a complicated way just to get an excellent evaluation. In the end, he didn't get it.
But fortunately, the commission was still relatively high.
This month's live broadcast commission, plus the salary, was definitely more than tens of thousands of dollars. Even if he was in New York, he could still live a decent life.
But now that he had quit his job, Jack was wondering whether he should live on the live broadcast commission or find another job to cover his live broadcast. If he didn't have a source of income but had money to live on, he would be easily targeted by the police because that would be suspicious, and that was a problem.
However, Jack did not consider this for the time being. There were more important things waiting for him to do.
Before Adalind died, she repeatedly mentioned that she would use all her connections to kill him.
This was not just a clamor. There was indeed someone else behind her. It was just that she was not qualified to deal with Jack.
The corners of Jack's mouth rose slightly. He already had a target for the next execution. He was in a somewhat happy mood and did not need to expend any effort to find a target.
Meanwhile, in the office of the New York Police Department's Special Task Force Zero...
Ross glanced at the people in the office after the horrifying scene of Adalind's chainsaw death. A human body had just been cut open on the big screen, and it caused a brief moment of fear.
"Adalind is already dead, but according to the judge, she has killed more than one homeless person. Adalind did not deny this. She killed so many homeless people, not only to satisfy her perverted psychological desires, but also to remove the organs and sell them. But she was not a doctor, so how could she have sold the organs that she removed? And how did she find the source of the goods? How did she find the buyer? There must be someone else behind her. There has to be a professional team working behind her. From the live broadcast, I can tell that Adalind is not a professional doctor. She only knows some surgical techniques. This must have been taught to her by someone else. Therefore, there must be a surgeon in her team. We'll start with the major hospitals in New York. We have to catch the person behind her as soon as possible! If I'm not wrong, these people will be the targets of the Death Judge's next live broadcast. It's time for us to compete with him again!"
Anthony said, "Sir, give the order!"
"Willie, take a few people and continue to investigate and find any clues concerning Adalind. First, locate the scene of death. The rest of you, move separately. Each of you will be responsible for a section of the hospital. Thank you for your hard work tonight!" Ross said.
"Yes, sir!"
Under the pitch-black night sky, a few police cars drove out from the New York police station. The entire task force was on the move.
Outside the New York City Hospital, a black car ignored the security guards and drove directly to the entrance of the emergency building. Two strong men in black suits got out of the car and rushed into the emergency building.
"Who are those two people? Are they looking for trouble?"
"They should be looking for Dr. Gardner. Look at that bald man. I've seen him chatting with Dr. Gardner before. Oh right, isn't Dr. Gardner on duty Tonight?"
"These two don't look like good people!"
"You can't judge a person based on their appearance. Look at that Adalind. She was not very pretty, but who would have thought that she was such a scumbag!"
The two young nurses on the first floor of the emergency medical building chatted in low voices. The night was too long, and there weren't many patients. They could only rely on chatting to pass the time.
The two of them went straight upstairs and came to the surgery department.
"Big Brother Gardner!"
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come over!"
The man who was smoking before doing his work had a very ugly expression when he saw the two of them. On his badge was his name: Gardner.
"Brother Gardner, don't be angry. Isn't this an urgent matter?" the bald man said with a smile.
"I told you to call me doctor in the hospital!"
"Yes, Dr. Gardner. The boss asked us to come over and ask how the child is doing. How long will it take? If it really doesn't work, the boss said we can increase the money!"
Gardner shook his head and said, "Children are not like vagrants who can be found anywhere. There is no suitable match among the children we can find now. If your boss is anxious, I can refund the money. You must know that illegal channels are not easy to do now. If you really can't wait, you can go to the hospital channel."
"Dr. Gardner, the hospital is really too slow. The boss can't wait that long. Is it because of the Death Inquisitor? All the gangs and police in New York are looking for him now. He must be busy running away!"
Gardner sneered, "Busy running away? It hasn't been long since his live broadcast of the murder. Are you telling me that he is busy running away? Are you blind?"
The two people's faces darkened after hearing this.
Gardner said, "Go back and tell your boss that if I find a suitable match, I'll inform him. If his son's condition can't wait that long, I can refund the money! But before that, don't contact me again, and don't send people to the hospital to look for me. People will think that I'm some kind of black-hearted doctor! Are you afraid that the police and the Death Inquisitor won't be able to find me? !"
"Yes! We understand!"
"Get lost quickly!"
The flesh on their faces twitched, and there was a hint of viciousness in their eyes. But in the end, they didn't say anything. They just nodded, turned around, and left.
As soon as they left, Gardner took out his phone and opened an encrypted chat app. It had a group of seven members.
"No one is allowed to act on their own these few days. All of you, be good and don't do anything until the Death Inquisitor is caught by the police!"
"Are you worried that the Death Inquisitor will target us? What if the police can't catch him? These police officers are useless. The Death Inquisitor has killed so many people live, but he himself hasn't been caught yet!"
"If the police can't catch the Death Inquisitor, then we'll just disband. After all, the money we earned in the past is enough for you to live on for the rest of your lives!"
"But we just received a sum of money. What about him?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Leave it to me."
"All right. I have no objections."
"I don't have any objections either. I'll listen to you."
"Oh right, I've brewed some human meat soup. Who among you wants to come over and have some?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you've brewed some human meat soup? I happen to be a little hungry. Wait for me!"
The moment they started talking about human meat soup, Gardner's appetite was aroused. He was also a little hungry and really wanted to go over and have some.
At that moment, with a bang, someone pushed the door open and rushed in.

Chapter 66: Monica Came Again
It was a young couple who came in. They were dressed in very simple clothes. In New York, other than some homeless people, it was rare to see people dressed like that. The woman was holding a child in her arms. The two of them ran to Gardner.
"Doctor, please save my child!"
Gardner looked at their clothes. He had made a preliminary judgment in his heart. Then he asked, "What's wrong? Don't cry. Tell me slowly."
"Look at my child. He seems to be dying."
The child in the woman's arms looked to be about one to two months old. He was in a coma, and his entire body was covered in a thick yellow color. He looked like an Oscar statuette.
Gardner took a look and tentatively said, "Judging from his condition, this is jaundice in children, but he still needs to be checked. You two go downstairs and hand in two thousand dollars for a comprehensive check-up first."
When the husband and wife heard this, they stood there in a daze.
When Gardner saw their reaction, he said, "This illness is grave, and he needs to be hospitalized for blood exchange treatment. The treatment is more troublesome, and the follow-up costs are relatively large. It may reach hundreds of thousands of dollars. You'd better pay more money, but the survival rate of this illness is relatively low, and there may be sequelae. You have to be mentally prepared. But no matter what, I will do my best as a doctor, and as parents, you have to do your best to treat this illness for the sake of your child!"
Gardner's words startled them. The woman's tears flowed down, and the man's expression was a little conflicted. He subconsciously took two steps back. This child was an accident to him.
Gardner glanced at the man and said, "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and pay for the check-up!"
"We don't have so much money. Let's not treat this illness for now." The man lowered his head and pulled the woman away.
"What are you talking about? This child needs to be examined and treated as soon as possible. Contact your family and borrow some money. This is a life we're talking about. The child is still so young. Don't be like some parents. Some parents just leave their ill children at the hospital and run away. That's too irresponsible. You are fortunate to have discovered this disease as early as now. Otherwise, your child wouldn't be able to recover, and it would be hopeless."
"Thank you, doctor. We'll go back and collect the money now. We'll bring the child here for treatment tomorrow!" The man nodded at Gardner and then pulled the woman out of the department.
As soon as the couple left, Gardner sneered. He lit a cigarette, stood in front of the window, and opened the blinds with his fingers to look down.
Soon, the couple walked out of the building and appeared in Gardner's field of vision.
Then, they began to argue. Not long after, the man placed the child in the flower bed. The woman could not bear to keep looking back, while the man pulled the woman and walked away without looking back.
Seeing this, Gardner revealed a sinister smile.
"These two idiots. They don't know that treating jaundice doesn't cost much. I didn't expect to get a decent child so easily. I'm really a genius!"
With that, Gardner took a black bag and went out.
Meanwhile, Jack directly slept until dawn. The days without work were indeed comfortable.
After getting up and washing up, he was about to go downstairs to eat when there was a knock on the door.
"Huh?"
Jack frowned. He didn't know many people in New York, and even fewer people knew that he lived here, aside from Thompson and Aisha.
But the person who came was Monica from the police station.
"Officer Monica? Why are you here?"
"I just got off work and passed by here. I came to see you. If you have time, I'd like to treat you to lunch to make up for the disturbance we caused you that night," Monica said with a smile.
How smart was Jack, really? No matter how hard Monica pretended, Jack knew what she was up to. He was sure that Monica came to him for a purpose, but as for what purpose, Jack didn't know yet. It wouldn't be bad for him to know more about his opponent, so Jack agreed.
The two went downstairs from the apartment, and Jack said, "Why are you off work in the afternoon? Did you work overtime last night?"
"That's right. If we can't catch the Death Inquisitor for a day, we have to be ready to work overtime at any time."
Jack smiled and said, "Is the Death Inquisitor really that difficult to catch? Although he is indeed very powerful in the live broadcast, you are the police and have so many people, yet you still can't catch him? Is it because you deliberately didn't catch him? Why do I feel that the Death Inquisitor is someone from your police station—someone who kills for the government and is not easy to kill!"
Monica laughed a little and said, "What you said is very interesting. Unfortunately, you guessed wrong. The Death Inquisitor is not as simple as you think. But now we are making progress with the investigation. It won't be long before we arrest the Death Inquisitor.
Jack realized that when Monica said this, the corner of her eyes had already locked onto him. Her action instantly let Jack know her true purpose of coming here.
Jack appeared very relaxed and said, "To be honest, in the hearts of others, besides the senator who is running for president, you police officers are even better at bragging."
"..."
Monica had been trying to answer a question that she had hypothesized for the past few days. If the Death Inquisitor had come to the New York police station on the night of Hitler and Graham's death, who could it be?
She had searched through all the people who had been to the police station that night, and she was left with only Jack, which led to today's visit. In fact, in her heart, she had already ruled out Jack as a suspect. After today's conversation, in addition to Jack's performance, she felt that the trip was a waste of time.
Since it was so simple to confirm that Jack was not the Death Inquisitor, Monica was not in the mood to eat.
Just as she was about to think of an excuse to leave, her phone rang. It was Judy.
"I need to take this call." With that, Monica walked to the side.
"Judy, what's wrong? What's the matter?"
"Well, Monica, come with me to the bank and check this bank statement I found."
"Sure. Where are you? I'll go there."
"I'm at the police station."
After taking the call, Monica apologetically said, "Sorry, there's another mission at the police station. I'll treat you to a meal another day."
Jack nodded and indifferently said, "Okay. You go. The mission is important."
After Monica left, Jack's face became much colder. Have they found a bank statement?
Could it be that they wanted to check the flow of gifts and rewards in his live broadcast room?
"It seems that they have indeed made progress. In that case, they will need to use cash exchange cards for the next live broadcast," Jack muttered with a smile.
Cash exchange cards were also a kind of prop card. After using it, the rewards and gifts in the live broadcast room would not be transferred to the bank card. Instead, they would be directly exchanged into cash and given to Jack.
After lunch, Jack was about to head back when a Rolls-Royce blocked his way.

Chapter 67: Job Offer
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Jack stopped, took a look, lit a cigarette, and waited for the person in the car to come down and talk to him.
The driver got out of the car. He was wearing a black suit. He was tall and strong, and he walked with great power. It was obvious that he was a difficult person to deal with.
Jack looked at the man in the black suit and opened the system panel.
—
Brady:
Evil points: 50 (maximum of 56)
Physical Strength: 50 (maximum of 51)
—
Jack was surprised that the man's physical strength had reached the same level as his.
Jack frowned. This was the strongest opponent he had ever met in terms of physical strength. Willie's physical strength was only slightly higher than this man's.
"Friend, seeing that you smoke, can you lend me your lighter?" Brady walked over with a cigarette in his mouth.
Jack obviously knew that he was not here to borrow a lighter. He casually threw the lighter out. Brady reached out his right hand and caught it. At the same time, he held a dagger in his left hand and quickly stabbed at Jack's chest and heart.
Jack was very fast. He grabbed at his wrist with one hand and locked it so that his left hand could not move.
Brady loosened his left hand that held the dagger, and it fell down. Brady caught it with his right hand and stabbed it at Jack's heart again.
Jack lifted his leg and kicked.
When the dagger in Brady's hand touched Jack's clothes, he was kicked several meters away by Jack.
Brady quickly put away the dagger in his hand, dusted off his clothes, lit a cigarette, and said, "Thank you for your lighter." Then, he threw the lighter back.
Just then, the rear door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and an elegant woman walked out. It was the boss, Jennifer, who had been with Bonier the day he resigned.
"Hello, Mr. Jack. We meet again. Let me introduce myself. My name is Jennifer."
Jack coldly said, "This way of meeting is really unique. There's no need to be polite. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Jennifer smiled and did not care about Jack's indifference, so she continued, "I'm really sorry. What happened just now was a little offensive. I hope you don't mind. I came to look for you because I saw you when you subdued the thief that day. I thought you were very skilled and wanted to ask you to be my daughter's bodyguard. Of course, you're not my personal bodyguard. You don't have to work that long. You just have to be responsible for driving her to and from school. You'll have a special car and a monthly salary of 60,000 yuan. By the way, you should know how to drive, right? If you don't, it doesn't matter. I can get a chauffeur. You just have to protect my daughter."
Actually, this offer was very good even in New York standards. Even Jack couldn't help but be tempted. After all, he only needed to be in charge of driving to and from school. A day wouldn't take more than a few hours, and he didn't have to work on weekends. His monthly salary was also very high. As long as he didn't buy a house in New York, it was enough for Jack to live a rich life in New York.
However, could a person who could offer such a generous condition be an ordinary person? Such people must be very influential in society. As a bodyguard for the children of such a person, the other party would definitely investigate his background. Perhaps he had already done so in the past few days. Jack didn't like the feeling of being stared at.
Therefore, Jack still refused.
"I'm sorry. I'm not interested," Jack said coldly, then turned around and left.
"If you're not satisfied with the salary, you can still increase it. How about this. Give me a number!"
Without turning his head, Jack answered, "I'm not a rich man, but I'm not short of money either. Goodbye."
Watching Jack's cold and distant back, Brady shook his head and said, "Forget it. It's normal for such an expert to not like to be tied down. In the future, I'll take Aisha to school."
Jennifer sighed and shook her head, feeling very regretful.
Returning to the apartment, Jack opened the system and opened the personal attributes panel.

Death Judge: Jack Norton
Age: 22
Personality: calm, rational
Combat Power: 50
Judgment points: 3,800
Currently unlocked scene: snowy train, fatal joke
—
Up until then, he had broadcasted a total of five times. After deducting the cost of each broadcast, he still had 3,800 judgment points left. This made Jack quite satisfied. Then, he opened the host ability on the right side of the panel.
Basic speed, basic strength, and basic agility—these three basic abilities were permanent after exchange. However, each purchase required 100 judgment points.
Without thinking much, Jack used 300 judgment points and exchanged one of each of the three abilities.
"Use!"
He then gave the order. Basic speed, basic strength, and basic agility—all three abilities were used. In an instant, Jack felt a burning aura flowing through his body. Then, he started to sweat profusely, and his body also felt much more relaxed.
He then looked at his personal attributes.
—
Combat Power: 51
—
Jack had a helpless expression on his face. He had used up a full 300 judgment points, yet his combat power had only increased by 1 point!
Jack did not know what to say.
Following that, Jack used another 1200 judgment points to increase his combat power to 55.
At this moment, his body was covered in a layer of black sweat. He looked as if he had just been fished out of crude oil. However, Jack could clearly feel that his body seemed to have been cleansed, and he felt very relaxed. It was a very strange feeling. It was as if there was a huge force sleeping in his body, and he could awaken and release this force at any time.
Although his combat power had only increased by 5 points, these 5 points of combat power had definitely improved his overall stamina. His strength was completely different from before.
After raising his combat power, Jack turned off his personal ability and opened the live broadcast screen.
In fact, the live broadcast evaluation this time did not reach "excellent," which was something that Jack did not expect, so he prepared to exchange for another scene. He wanted to exchange for a more challenging, exciting, and terrifying live broadcast scene.
After browsing through the live broadcast scene for a while, Jack's gaze stopped on a scene.
"Fatal Magic."
In this live broadcast scene, the judge could transform into a death magician and set up all kinds of fatal magic. One use of this live broadcast scene would cost 200 judgment points.
Jack closed his eyes and thought carefully. The despair of the tortured man appeared in his mind, so he directly exchanged for a "Fatal Magic" scene card.
At this time, a piece of news attracted the attention of many people on Twitter, and it was a top trending topic on the platform.
"The corpse of a baby is found in a trash can. After a hundred years, the primitive, barbaric, and cruel human ways have returned!"

Chapter 68: Cannibal
The news was posted on the Internet around 7 AM this morning. There were also a few photos of the scene, but they were all heavily pixelated. However, there was still a sense of horror that made one's hair stand on end.
Sharon was a small white-collar worker in a financial company. For a financial practitioner, paying attention to the news every day was a basic professional accomplishment,
She had just finished a form that day, so she opened her phone to look at the news.
"Baby Soup? What is this? Soup for babies? Can babies drink soup?" As a mother-to-be, Sharon immediately clicked on the news. She would read anything baby-related because she was preparing for her baby, who would be born in a few months.
It was a video of a reporter interviewing a sanitation worker. The sanitation worker was standing in front of a trash can.
"These scumbags are too inhumane. They're really animals. When I saw them, I was so scared that I almost fainted. Look, my hand is broken. That baby is only about one or two months old. There's also an adult's head! The flesh on my body was all eaten up. At first, I thought it was an abandoned pet, like a cat or dog. But when I saw the small hands and feet, and the two human heads that had been boiled, I almost fainted. It's too scary. This is cannibalism! What kind of scumbags can do such a thing!"
When the video was played here, blurred pictures appeared on the screen. Sharon was stunned. This was completely different from what she had imagined, and for a moment, the image of a human's head being boiled in a pot and being eaten as human meat soup appeared in her mind.
"Urgh...Wah wah..."
Sharon bent down and started vomiting violently.
"Too cruel! Too inhumane! Is this still human?!"
Soon, in less than an hour, there were more than 10,000 comments under the news article.
"F*ck! Who did this? Is he even human? People like him should be run over by a car!"
"Is there any humanity in this? Is there any bottom line? I can't believe that someone would do such a thing! Why do they have to eat people? I'm so angry!"
"Let's beg the police to catch the murderer. I really want to see what kind of person would do such a crazy and abnormal thing! If I catch him, I'll chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"
"Even dogs wouldn't want to eat that kind of scum!"
"It would be better to beg the Death Inquisitor for help directly than to beg the police. Last time, when the case of organ trafficking was brought up from the abuse of the homeless, wasn't it solved by the Inquisitor? This crime is about eating human flesh. Shouldn't the Inquisitor make a move?"
"Yes, I also beg the Death Inquisitor to make a move!"
"Petition the Death Inquisitor to take action!"
"Only the Death Inquisitor can truly uphold justice in this city!"
"Don't be anxious. Perhaps the Inquisitor has already taken action!"
...
The matter continued to ferment. After another two hours, it was already a trending topic on various major online platforms.
Because of this matter, the members of Task Force Zero, who had originally been off work and resting, all returned to the police station. Ross, who had been a police officer for many years, told them that he had an announcement and that this matter was related to the case they were currently investigating.
"Have you eaten lunch? I'll order takeout. Do you want to eat pizza?" Bowman asked.
"Don't include me in the count. I can't eat," Judy said.
Monica said, "Don't include me too. I can't eat either!"
"Even if I eat anything, I'll probably just vomit it out. Don't buy for me. It'll be a waste of food," Hart said.
"Willie, what about you? Do you want to eat pizza?"
Willie covered his stomach and said, "Don't count me in. I ate earlier this morning. I just went to the toilet and threw up. I have no appetite now."
"No way. You're so strong and mighty. People who don't know you would think you're a felon. Why did you throw up?" Bowman widened his eyes and asked him in surprise.
Willie helplessly said, "I'm strong, but I'm not a forensic doctor, and I'm not a pervert. I'm relatively normal. The police psychiatrist said that I'm very healthy."
"..."
Everyone in the office looked helpless and didn't know what to say.
Ross said, "Don't say so much. Hurry up and investigate whatever clues you have and continue trying to solve the case. I have a feeling that the Death Judge will start broadcasting live again."
"I have the same feeling!" Anthony said. Besides Ross, he had been working in the front line for the longest time. It was not strange for him to have the same intuition as Ross.
Anthony explained further. "But I was thinking of another thing. Could we have gone into the wrong area? You should know that the Death Inquisitor is best at confusing people and muddling their minds. I think it is very likely that the Death Inquisitor is not one person, but a group of people!"
Ross answered, "It's possible. It would be very difficult for just one person to complete such complicated tasks in such a short time. It's very likely that they are a group of people working together. Moreover, they are very tacit and efficient, which is why they are always one step ahead of us! I hope that this time, we can be ahead of him or them! Immediately search all the houses and buildings around the crime scene. It would be impossible for them to go so far at night just to dispose anything they have used in the broadcast. They must be near a garbage disposal facility!"
"Yes, sir!"
At that moment, Gardner, who had seen the news on his phone, was completely flustered.
He opened the encrypted chat app on his phone:
"F*ck! Didn't I tell you guys to behave yourselves and not do anything! How did you guys throw the rest of the soup in that trash can! It's not something that you can just casually thrown into a trash can! You guys are a bunch of idiots! Idiots!"
"It's my fault. After tasting the human flesh soup last night, Madeleine kept it in the toilet. If I had waited a little longer, this wouldn't have happened. But I didn't throw it downstairs. I walked two rows south. There were no cameras around."
"Is that kid sick? I had diarrhea after eating it last night. I'm responsible."
"Don't say so much. You guys just move and get on it immediately. Don't stay there. Leave New York City now. Don't come back until the storm is over!"
"What about you? What will you do?"
"I'll wait and see. If there's danger, I'll leave New York too. This discussion group will be disbanded from now on!"
Gardner sent the last message and directly uninstalled the software.
Meanwhile, in Jack's apartment...
Jack was sitting on the sofa with a cold expression on his face. In front of him on the system interface, information on seven people was popping up on the screen.
As he was reading through their crimes, Jack's expression became even more sinister.

After carefully reading this disturbing information, Jack's expression became even more unsightly. He was furious.
Even the most vicious words could not be used to describe these seven scumbags.
"Since morality cannot restrain you and the law can not punish you, then let me play a game with you," he muttered.
...
Gardner had just deleted the group chat from his phone.
Just as the others were about to delete any traces of it from their phones, a notification suddenly sounded off. A person had joined their discussion group.
Everyone was frightened when they heard the voice. Could it be that the police had already started investigating?
When they looked down at their phones, their faces instantly turned pale. They looked like patients who were about to die. A fear that they had never experienced before entered their hearts.
Death Judge!
It was the Death Judge who had joined their group chat!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A total of six notification sounds rang off, and the Death Judge sent six messages in a row.
—

Death Notice!
Subject: Trevishan
Crime: Trafficking of human organs, murder

Execution Date: May 5, 2021
—
There were a total of six death notices in this format. The six of them looked at their own death notices. Their faces were frighteningly pale, and their bodies were trembling.
"We're doomed! We're doomed! We're doomed!" They all started sobbing.
"What are you crying for! Things have already come to this point, so what's the use of crying!"
"What's the date today?"
"Today is May 5th!"
"F*ck!"
"Stop talking! Hurry up and pack your things. Run as far as you can! We should get out of here as fast as we can. I'm leaving first!"
"I wonder if Gardner has received his death notice? Should we call him to inform him?"
"There's no need to tell him. If the Death Inquisitor found us, don't you think he would have found the leader of the group too?"
"Let's run! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
They packed their things in a panic and prepared to run away. However, none of them felt the danger that was following closely behind them.
It was 2 PM.
At the Thomas Residences, a high-end residential area in New York City...
The trash can where the baby's body was found earlier that day was in the northwest corner of the residential area.
"You two, guard the exit here. The rest of you, follow me!" Willie was the first to rush up with a gun.
Although the murderer had avoided the surveillance cameras, after investigating the nearby residents, they found that the lights were often switched on in the middle of the night in one of the floors of that building. The tenants in the building would only come out at night and slept in during the day, so Ross ordered Willie to bring people up to investigate.
Willie quickly brought people up to the ninth floor, only to see that the door of the ninth floor was only half-closed.
"Be careful. Follow me in!" Willie said in a very low voice as he gestured to his companions.
Willie was the first to walk up and gently pulled on the door.
Creak...
The door made an ear-piercing sound. Willie directly kicked open the door and rushed in.
The room was very quiet. There was no sound, and there was no trace of any person.
Willie quickly checked the surroundings.
"Search all the rooms!"
They searched the rooms one by one. Willie checked the dining room. There were a lot of messy things on the dining table. The cutlery had not been cleaned, and there was some leftover soup in the bowl with golden oil floating on it. Willie felt nauseous and wanted to throw up.
"Could it really be those scumbags?"
Willie put on his gloves and picked up the bowl. He placed it in front of his nose and sniffed it. He did not know if it was a psychological effect or not, but Willie felt a little nauseous and wanted to throw up.
Willie put down the bowl that contained the soup and went to the kitchen. There was still soup in the big pot, and there was a layer of oil floating on the surface of the soup. He had heard the forensics doctor, Bowman, say that most of the oil used in cooking would float on the surface in circles, but that oil from a human body would be in semicircles. When he saw the semicircular-shaped oil floating on top of it, his stomach felt uncomfortable again.
"F*ck!"
Willie turned his face to the other side. He didn't want to look at these disgusting things. He saw a refrigerator.
He opened the top layer. There were vegetables, fruits, beer, and some medicine.
Willie frowned. There was still some anesthetic in it.
Willie opened the bottom layer of the freezer. As soon as he opened it, he saw the body of a man. He was missing a head and a hand. In the corner, there was the body of a baby. His eyes widened in shock.
Willie was so scared that his legs went weak. He was furious. There was still some flesh on the body of the man. The baby looked like it was only one or two months old!
"These scumbags! Animals!"
Willie immediately ordered his men to lock down the crime scene and then called the office of Task Force Zero.
"Captain, I'm sure it's those people. We found a baby's body and a mutilated adult man's body in the refrigerator. But those people have already left. I'll deploy immediately and bring those scumbags back."
"No need."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"The live broadcast of the Death Judge has just started. They were captured by the Death Inquisitor."
"What?"
"Continue to lock down the scene. It's very likely that the Death Inquisitor took the people away from their residence. He might have left some clues."
Willie looked helpless and did not know what to say. They had searched the room thoroughly, and they had entered and exited the rooms several times. They hadn't thought that far ahead, and the floor was full of their own footprints. If it was really as Ross said, then any clues left behind by the Death Judge might have already been covered and destroyed by them.
Just as they sealed off the scene, major live broadcast platforms on the Internet were already brimming with millions of viewers.

Chapter 70: Teamwork
Viewers were used to watching the death broadcast at night, but this time, it started during the day. It was both surprising and a pleasant change for the viewers. The crimes of the seven people were being publicized, and their horrifying crimes ignited the anger of all the viewers in the live broadcast room.
"The judge is really good. The whole world has long been looking for these human-eating scumbags. And there are actually seven of them!"
"Quick! Judge, hurry up and kill them! I can't stand these scumbags who eat human flesh. They can't continue living in this world. Judge, hurry up and do it!"
"I suggest that we slice open their stomachs like in the previous episode and dig out their internal organs. Let them see if their hearts have rotted!"
"People like them should die slowly. Use knives to slowly cut off their flesh, cook everything in a large pot, and let them eat it themselves!"
"Right! I agree. Don't they like to eat human flesh? The Death Judge should let them eat their own flesh!"
At this moment, the number of people in the live broadcast room instantly reached two million. Countless bullet comments floated past the screen, covering up the scene in the live broadcast room. Even people on Twitter were in a frenzy.
"Good news! The Death Inquisitor has made his move! The cannibals that the whole world has been looking for have all been captured!"
"Live broadcast! Live trial! Everyone, quickly go to the Death Inquisitor's live broadcast room and take a look!"
"Where are you watching the live broadcast from? Give me a link!"
"Open any live broadcast software and the front page will be filled with news and anything related to the Death Inquisitor!"
Very quickly, people who heard the news about the cannibals being captured rushed into Jack's live broadcast room. In less than a minute, another two million people poured into the live broadcast room, and the number of people online instantly exceeded four million. This was exceedingly large, and it was shocking even to professional streamers who were used to having millions of viewers.
At that time, even some well-known streamers also made way for the livestream of death. After all, competing with the Death Inquisitor for popularity was not easy. It was like courting death.
"The Death Inquisitor has started live streaming. Now I'm going to switch to the livestream of death to watch the Inquisitor execute the scum. After the Inquisitor is done, we'll continue to dance!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Hurry up and push down the defense tower. The death broadcast room has started streaming. If we don't push down the base, we'll surrender immediately. We're anxious to watch the judge's live broadcast!" At this moment, having just taken down a triple kill, a professional player and streamer who was also live broadcasting anxiously shouted to his fellow players.
"Everyone, listen to me. I'm not going to sing anymore. The death broadcast room has started live broadcasting. The cannibals who just appeared on the news today have all been captured and are about to be executed. Everyone, come and watch with me. However, the judge's live broadcast is very bloody and terrifying. Those who are timid shouldn't watch!" said one singing host. He immediately switched the scene to the death broadcast room.
On the other side of the city, in the New York City Hospital, meanwhile...
From doctors to nurses to patients, everyone in the hospital was crazily discussing the death broadcast.
"How can Gardner actually do such a terrifying thing! It's unbelievable!"
"He didn't just eat people! The crime announced by the judge included murder! He killed several homeless people and children!"
"Could it be that the judge made a mistake? Dr. Gardner usually seems very nice!"
"What do you know! That dog Gardner is a wolf in human skin. He is a beast. I have long known that he is not a good person! The director actually gave up on me and let him be the director!"
"That hospital is too scary. After watching the live broadcast of the judge, let's hurry and get out of that hospital! Who knows if there are such perverts in this hospital? I don't feel safe here now!"
"Me too! Why do I feel like no one in this hospital is a good person?"
"You guys keep watching. I had just asked to be discharged from the hospital. I won't dare to stay here anymore. I'll watch the live broadcast on the way!"
"Wait for me. I want to be discharged too. Let's do it together. I won't dare to wander around alone!"
At that moment, Jack was quietly watching the livestream as the viewers kept pouring in. He was not surprised to see the number of people in the live broadcast continuously increasing. After all, it was a terrifying case. It was beyond the understanding of ordinary people and had been fermented by the news. It had long aroused the anger of the entire nation.
Five minutes passed quickly, and the crime announcement ended.
The scene in the live broadcast flashed, and a closed room appeared in the camera.
In the picture, seven iron brackets were placed side by side in the middle of the room. On the brackets were seven iron cages in the shape of eggs.
Seven people were curled up and kneeling in the iron cages. However, the size of the iron cages was different. The larger people's iron cages were larger, and the smaller people's iron cages were smaller because the iron cages were custom-made. They all seemed to have been cramped inside. It didn't look like there was much space for each of them.
Suddenly, the seven criminals woke up.
They were struggling to get out of the cage, but it was impossible. It wasn't something that could be broken by merely human strength.
"F*ck! What is this place! Who locked us up! Come out!"
"It's The Death Inquisitor! It must be the Death Inquisitor! He has his eyes on us! It's over! We're finished!"
One of them started crying. "Are we going to die here? Help! Is there anyone there? Can anyone come and save me?"
"Don't waste your energy. It's not like you haven't watched the live broadcast of the Inquisitor before. No one will come and save us. Those useless policemen will never find us while we're alive. If we want to leave this place alive, we can only rely on ourselves!"
Gardner looked around and said, "From now on, if you want to live, listen to my commands. As long as we work together, we will definitely get out alive!"
"Gardner, we know you are smart. I'll listen to you!"
"I'll listen to you too!"
"I can listen to you too, but Gardner, you have to bring me out alive!"
"That's right! I can sacrifice a part of myself, as long as you bring me out alive!"
Under Gardner's promise, the seven of them quickly reached a consensus and promised to work together.
Jack's lips revealed a cold smile. Then, his cold and hoarse voice rang out. It sounded as if it came from hell.
"Hello, everyone. I am your host, the Death Judge. Welcome to today's live broadcast. Today's victims have already been introduced at the beginning. The cannibal organization is led by this Doctor Gardner. They sold human organs and used all kinds of cruel methods to kill vagrants, including children. In just half a year's time, they have taken nineteen lives. After they removed the organs and drained the corpses of their blood, they turned them into human meat soup."
Hearing this, the live broadcast viewers were enraged. They knew that the seven criminals were guilty of cannibalism, but they were shocked and disgusted when they heard the horrifying details from the Death Judge himself.

Chapter 71: Murder Magic
"Ahhh! Judge, please stop talking. Hurry up and start the execution. I just want to see them die!"
"I'm going to die from anger! If these scumbags' parents were still alive, I wonder what they would think about this! Would they still acknowledge them as their children if they knew that they were guilty of this horrendous crime?"
"If that's the case, their parents would definitely regret giving birth to them back then."
"These scumbags have completely lost touch with humanity. Aren't they afraid of doing such things? How can they sleep at night?"
"What animals! How can these scumbags do such things! Judge, I really feel like killing them!"
The audience's bullet screens once again covered the live broadcast.
At that moment, Gardner spoke. "Out of those nineteen people, four of their children were abandoned by their own parents. Ten of the vagrants were mentally ill or drug addicts who were abandoned by their families. Aren't those parents' families cruel? How much better are they than me? You're all a bunch of hypocrites!"
"Yes, Judge, stop pretending. You're not a good person either. Not only did you kill people, you even killed people live in public. Aren't your methods cruel and bloody? You're the one who deserves to die!"
"Death Judge, come out if you dare. What right do you have to judge us!"
"That's right. What right do you have to judge us? You don't represent the law, so you can't represent the people. You're a pervert. You're a murderer. If you are brazen enough, release us and let the law punish us!"
The audience was once again shocked by what the scumbags were saying. These people were so cruel and completely inhumane. Viewers were shocked that they were blaming the Death Judge and making him look like the bad guy instead.
The viewers all went in a frenzy.
"You're wrong. The Death Inquisitor can represent me! I also want to execute you scumbags!"
"You're right. He can also represent me. It's just that we can't do what he does. Otherwise, I would also want to arrest you. I don't even want to give you a chance to live. If it were me, I would directly torture you to death!"
"The Death Inquisitor can represent all the kind people in the world to eliminate you scumbags!"
Jack's cold eyes revealed a trace of viciousness as he said, "I don't represent anyone. I just want to play a game with you. The name of this game is called Killing Magic. Do you see the collars on your necks? You can use your hands to touch them. There is a mini bomb inside your collars. It is enough to break your necks. You have thirty minutes to find the final exit. There are many devices that can touch the collars around your necks, but there are many mechanisms in the room. Every choice you make will require you to make a small sacrifice. Now let me see how much you want to live."
Madeleine knelt in the cage. His face was completely twisted. "F*ck! F*ck your mother!" Red lights were flashing on the collar around his neck.
Gardner had noticed the bomb collar from the beginning. He had seen it on the live broadcast of death, but he did not expect that it would be used on him one day.
Gardner's face was full of malevolence. He coldly said, "What do you want? Just say it. We'll play with you to the end."
Jack answered, "Do you still remember the magic tricks you saw when you were young? A person would be put into a box by a magician, then he would be covered with a black cloth. The middle of the box would be cut open, and the box containing the person would be pulled open. Finally, the black cloth would be taken off, and it would be revealed that the person inside was still intact. He would be safe and sound and unscathed. Wasn't that trick amazing? As you can see, the egg-shaped iron cage you are in is connected by two semicircular iron cages, but the middle is locked, so you can't open it. The only thing that can open the egg-shaped iron cage is the chainsaw above you. After a while, the chainsaw will start and then slowly descend, cutting down from the middle of the egg-shaped iron cage until the iron cage is completely open. Of course, before the chainsaw cuts you, you have five minutes to prepare. Avoiding the chainsaw and performing an exciting escape—those are what you need to do. I just don't know if you will succeed or have the courage to face such a situation. Let us watch quietly. Now, the game officially begins."
Just as Jack finished speaking, there was a timer in front of the seven of them.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The timer sounded off, and the countdown officially began.
At that moment, a huge explosion was heard.
The seven large chainsaws above them were instantly activated. The sawtooth rotated at a high speed while it slowly descended.
"F*ck! What should we do!"
"How can we escape? He just wants to cut us in half!"
"Fuck you! Death Inquisitor! You're a pervert! You're the Devil!"
"What are we going to do? Gardner, do something! You promised to let us out!"
The others started wailing in despair.
As they listened to the ear-piercing roar of the chainsaw above them, the seven people were almost scared to death. Tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room, however, were very happy to watch. They had joined the death broadcast room just to watch these scumbags die in pain.
"That's great. Cut them off."
"Judge, if this is how you want to torture them to death, I'll give you a gift!"
"I remember a book saying that people don't die immediately after being cut off. They can still live for a period of time. They will watch their lower body slowly die in pain. I can't think of anything better for these seven scumbags."
"That's great. How long would they live until they die completely? It would be best if they can live for another day or two. After all, there is no way to save them after being sawed off. It would be fine even if the police found them!"
"It is impossible for a human to live for another day or two after being sawed off from the waist. How long they can live depends on where they are cut. If they are cut above the waist, they will die faster because it's closer to the chest. If they are cut below the waist, they will die slower, because it's closer to the buttocks. However, they will only live for ten minutes, at most. However, watching the lower half of their body slowly die, ten minutes will be torture enough!"
"I also want to see them die immediately, but since we already know how the Death Judge executes, these seven people will not die so easily. There are still many levels to go. This game will not end so soon."
"That's right. I just searched online. There are already people discussing how to break the Death Judge's game. People are betting that they will survive if they move to the other side."
"That makes sense! There are indeed many experts on the Internet!"
"But how to move to the other side? The Death Judge would not allow them to move about so easily. II think it's impossible!"
"If you want to move to the other side, you have to chop yourself into meat paste first so that you can pass through the gap."

Chapter 72: The Hidden Rules of the Game
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Task Force Zero was getting busy in their office at the New York Police Department.
Hart took a sip of coffee and said, "The Death Judge has changed the way of the game again. However, the rules of the game this time look very simple. It's just prolonged killing."
"Isn't it better this way? It's simple and direct. Everything is obvious. The public also wants to see these scumbags die,"Judy added.
"That's not right. If it was just a simple massacre, then the Death Judge wouldn't even bother to broadcast it live. He could have killed them directly in the dark. That way, we wouldn't be able to find him. But what he wants is to play with the criminals. In other words, he doesn't want them to die just die. What he wants is the torturing process. Every time he broadcasts, it's a show of technology. He's showing off to us and to the audience. He is satisfied when he gets everyone's admiration."
Monica returned her gaze to the live broadcast screen then said, "The reason why you think the rules of the game are simple this time is because the Death Judge has hidden the true rules of the game. In the previous games, he would clearly tell you what to do, but this time, he only said what the outcome would be. This time, not only is he testing the courage of these people, but he's also testing their intelligence."
"I agree with that. Do you remember what he said? There are many traps in the room. Every choice they make requires a small sacrifice. This time is no exception."
"Do you see the bracket under the egg-shaped iron cage? There is a device there. It seems to be a glassware. Unfortunately, there is no close-up, so I can't see what it is. But I guess the key to cracking the game lies there. But this time, they have to find it themselves."
They returned their attention to the screen of the live broadcast room.
Gardner and the others were very anxious in the iron cage.
"F*ck! There's so little space in the iron cage. How can we avoid the chainsaw? Do we have to squeeze into one of the two semicircles? Is it possible?"
"Even if it's impossible, we have to try!" Kanasan thought that she was relatively small and could try, but when she squeezed her body to one side, she realized that no matter which angle she used, she wouldn't fit. Unless she folded her body or took her head off, it was impossible for her to pass through.
"Ah ah ah! It's impossible! The size of this iron cage is not big enough for people to squeeze to one side!" Kanasan looked up in despair. She glanced at the chainsaw that was slowly descending. The sawtooth was spinning rapidly. It was very scary.
Beline was sobbing loudly. "I'm really going to die here. What should I do? I don't want to die!" Belina curled up in the iron cage.
"F*ck! What are you crying for? Stop crying because you're not dead yet!" Ajay, who was beside her, cursed angrily. Then, he said, "There's another way. We should try our best to squeeze our bodies to one side of the iron cage and put our legs on the other side. At most, we can have our legs cut off, but at least we won't die!"
"Ah!" After hearing what Ajay said, Belina cried even harder.
"This is too painful. I don't want to cut off my legs. I don't want to!"
"F*ck you! Don't cry anymore. You're making my head hurt with all your crying!" On the other side, Madeleine, who was far away, also began to curse angrily.
It was a time-limited escape, and everyone was feeling muddled and very fearful.
However, compared to their irascibility, Gardner was very quiet. He was kneeling quietly in the iron cage. He did not struggle or speak, as if he was thinking about something.
"We can definitely escape."
Gardner took a deep breath and his gaze fell on the device under the iron cage. Then, his gaze moved to the metal cage. His brain had been thinking at high speeds.
Then, Gardner stretched his hand out of the iron cage and reached down to the glass container, but he quickly withdrew his hand. The corner of his mouth moved and he snorted.
"Stop arguing," Gardner roared. The other six people were stunned and kept quiet.
"Gardner, I don't want to die. You're so smart that you became a doctor. Quickly think of a way!" Belina said while wiping her tears.
Gardner sneered and said, "We won't die in this round, but we will be injured. Look carefully at this iron cage. It's just below. The two iron bars in the middle can actually be pushed to both sides. However, these two iron bars are now welded together. As long as we break the welded part and push the iron bars to both sides, we can get a large space at the bottom. Then, we can squeeze all of our bodies underneath so that the chainsaw doesn't hit us."
The others quickly looked at the two iron bars and shook them with their hands. At that moment, the camera in the live broadcast room switched to a clear close-up.
"The welding seems to be very strong. How do we open it? We can't open it with just our hands." Ajay slapped his hands hard twice, but it didn't work at all. He even slapped his hands so hard that it hurt.
"Yeah! How do we open it? We can't use our teeth to open it, can we?" Trevishan asked anxiously.
With a very serious expression, Gardner said, "The Death Judge has already prepared it for us. There is a groove in the part where the two iron rods are welded. Do you see the glassware under the cage? I just stretched my hand over to feel it. There is a stream of hot air on the glassware. I guessed that the glassware should be filled with strong acid. Now you understand. The Death Judge wants us to use strong acid to corrode the part where the iron rods are welded so that we can escape from the chainsaw."
"Ah? But that is strong acid! How do we use strong acid to get the iron rod?"
"What do you think? Our shoes are gone. What do you think the Death Inquisitor wants us to use?"
Madeleine's face was heavy. With a trembling voice, she said, "Hand...The Death Inquisitor wants us to use our hands to get it."
"Use our hands? Then our hands will be dissolved by the strong acid? I don't want to!" Belina widened her eyes in horror. She had used strong sulfuric acid to dissolve the body of a homeless man in the past. After the strong acid was poured on the body, blood bubbles would instantly appear on the body. Then, white smoke would rise, and the flesh eventually decomposes and dissolves. As she thought of the horrifying scene of the body dissolving, tears immediately flowed down her face.
"Amazing! Judge! You even thought of this!"
"In that case, what's next is strong acid hand washing?"
"Strong acid hand washing? I won't even dare to wash my hands anymore. In the future, whenever I see a soap dispense, I'll wonder if it's strong acid that will flow out!"
"Strong acid? I wonder how scary the scene will be. Just thinking about it gives me the chills!"
"It's all right. Although strong acid is highly corrosive and can melt human flesh, if they move faster, only a thin layer of their flesh will be dissolved."
The audience was becoming very excited and was busy sending their theories on what could happen in the following moments.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 73: Dissolved Hand
"No, it shouldn't be concentrated sulfuric acid. The reaction between sulfuric acid and metal will result in a passivation reaction. The dissolution will be very slow or even stop directly. If that's the case, they will die immediately. This couldn't be what the judge wants. Since this thing can dissolve metal and the dissolution speed can't be too slow, I think it is Wang Shui."
"I didn't expect to learn chemistry in the judge's live broadcast. Wang Shui is a highly corrosive acidic liquid that emits yellow smoke. It's a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated nitric acid with a volume ratio of 3:1."
At the NYPD, in the office of Task Force Zero...
"Chemistry class gave me a headache when I was in school, but I think I'll never forget what I learned in the live broadcast for the rest of my life!"
Looking at the comments from the audience, Anthony looked at Ross and said, "You're right. The key is indeed that glassware!"
"The mystery has been solved, but what I'm thinking is, do they really need to use their hands to load Wang Shui onto the iron rod? Is there some kind of thinking trap that we haven't thought of yet?"
When they heard this, they immediately thought of the previous live broadcasts, and their minds began to think quickly.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
In the sealed room, the sound of the countdown was very sharp and ear-piercing. It constantly stimulated the nerves of Gardner and the others. It was as if the timer was a death knell, and there was someone standing there continuously ringing it, waiting to take their lives.
Gardner's face twisted strangely. No matter how calm and composed he was, he did not have the courage to face the terrifying strong acid in the glassware. He widened his bloodshot eyes and stared at the glassware. He wanted to find a way to escape without getting hurt. For a moment, he felt very dizzy, as if he was about to fall into the strong acid.
"F*ck! Damn Death Inquisitor!" Gardner punched the iron cage.
He thought he would be very brave, but he found himself so weak that he did not have any courage in his heart.
"Please let me go. I'm a surgeon. I can't lose my hands. I still need to use my hands to perform many surgeries and save many people. Please, I'll give you 20 million. No, I'll give you all my money. 60 million dollars is enough for you to use in New York for a lifetime. I'll also give you all the money I earn in the future. As long as you let me go, I'll agree to any conditions. I can be your slave."
Gardner, who had always been very calm, was now crying like a child, his snot and tears flowing non-stop.
Seeing his disgusting appearance, the audience in the live broadcast room could not help it.
"F*ck you! You know you are a doctor! As a doctor, you have caused the death of so many people! You are an animal! SCUM!"
"Now you are afraid? Where is the courage that you had when you ate human flesh?"
"Hehe! And now you want to bribe the judge? You have the nerve to offer 60 million dollars? If the judge could be bribed with money, he would have been a billionaire a long time ago!"
"You did bad things yourself, and now the consequences are coming. Even if you cry, you have to finish it yourself!"
"An adult crying like a dog. Don't cry. You don't have much time left. If you don't act now, you will be sawed into two halves by a chainsaw!"
"The judge seems to like using chainsaws recently!"
"I like chainsaws too. It's best to cut these scumbags in half!"
At this moment, Jack's face was very cold, but his eyes revealed some fanaticism. He looked like an artist admiring a perfect piece of art.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The crazily rotating chainsaw had already decreased by 30% .
Ajay looked up, then his gaze fell back on the glassware. He gritted his teeth hard, as if he wanted to break them. Then, he reached his hand out of the iron cage and slowly reached out towards the strong acid in the glassware. Suddenly, a wave of hot air gushed out. When it blew on his hand, Ajay's entire body trembled, and all the hair on his body stood on end.
"F*ck your mother!" Ajay shouted loudly to boost his courage. Gritting his teeth, he directly extended his hand into the strong acid solution of the glassware.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
In an instant, a close-up shot appeared in the live broadcast room. The strong acid solution seemed to be boiling for a moment. Then, it was continuously bubbling. A surge of irritating gas made Ajay's throat and eyes feel hot. The skin and flesh on his hand had directly melted, and blood bubbles burst one after another. Then, the skin and flesh on his hand quickly dissolved.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Ajay's shrill cry sounded, and his throat seemed to be hoarse from shouting. He was screaming so terribly that to the many who heard it, it felt like an iron nail fiercely piercing into their hearts. A deep chill quickly spread throughout his body. He trembled uncontrollably.
"F*ck! Why are you shouting so f*cking loudly? ! Are you going to die? Isn't that just one crippled hand? Look at the previous torturers! What's one hand!"
"Indeed! He was shouting too loudly, and it gave me a fright. But this Wang Shui is really amazing. The effect immediately came out, and my hand started to hurt just from watching it."
"It's really exciting. This can't be done with special effects. Watching a live broadcast of death is even better than watching a movie!"
The audience was both terrified and very excited.
But for Gardner and the others, it was an endless nightmare.
In just a few seconds, the flesh and blood on Ajay's hands had melted. It was almost impossible to tell if it was bone or flesh. The skin had turned charred black and was very uneven. A few of the fingernails had already been dissolved. It looked like a devil's hand. It was particularly disgusting.
"F*ck!"
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
"No! No! I don't want to become like this, I don't want to!"
"Why us? Why? I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please, let me go!"
Gardner and the others were so scared that they almost fainted when they saw what happened to Ajay.
It was too bloody!
It was too scary!
Gardner's lips and teeth were trembling. They kept knocking against each other. He was too scared, and his heart was broken. He recalled the first corpse that he learned to dissect. He recalled how he personally cut open the stomach of a living vagrant and removed his organs. He recalled the times when he could calmly eat a feast of human flesh and drink beer. It has been such a long time. He had never been so terrified. His entire body felt as if it had fallen into a frozen lake, slowly losing its temperature.

Looking at Gardner who was about to collapse, Jack's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold and proud smile.
Ajay had successfully knocked the strong acid solution into the groove where the two iron rods were welded.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
The strong acid solution quickly reacted with the iron rods, and the weld continued to decompose, bubbling non-stop.
Ajay raised his rotten and bleeding hand and laughed. He shouted, "It's reacting, it's reacting! It's already dissolving. I'll be able to escape soon!" Pieces of flesh that had been dissolved by the strong acid solution kept falling. It was as if the corpse had rotted and turned into blood.
But no one took notice because his words brought hope to the other six people.
After all, these were all Gardner's guesses at the beginning, but now it was proven that the strong acid solution could really dissolve iron rods. It was like lighting a bright lamp in the darkness.
But to step out of the repressed darkness, one had to pay the price of blood.
Beline cried and said, "Kanasan, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of pain. What should I do if I don't dare to use my hands?" Belina wiped her tears and cried harder, shouting at Kanasan.
Kanasan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm scared too, but I don't want to die. If you don't want to be cut in half by the chainsaw, you'd better put your hands in as well. Otherwise, you're dead."
After saying that, Kanasan took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She clenched her teeth and reached her hand into the glass container.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
It was like a splash of cold water on a piece of red-hot iron. The reaction was very intense. In just an instant, pieces of her flesh fell off his hand, and her blood was dripping.
"Argh! F*ck!"
Kanasan screamed shrilly. The pain was almost unbearable that her brain was almost numb. Cold sweat kept flowing down her forehead. Then, she quickly poured the strong acid solution in her palm into the groove where the iron rod was welded. She quickly wiped the remaining solution on her hand with her clothes.
"Ah!"
With a scream, her whole body kept twisting and rolling in the narrow iron cage.
The flesh on her hand was directly wiped off by the clothes, as if the rotten flesh had been wiped off from the body for a long time, leaving only bloody bones.
"F*ck! It's so disgusting! I can't stand it after watching so many live broadcasts! It's too disgusting!"
"She really thought it's just like washing her hands. She even used her clothes to wipe them off after washing them with the acid! This idiot!"
"This idiot! She used her clothes to wipe her hands when there's no water on them. It's obvious that she hasn't studied chemistry before!"
"It's true that she hasn't studied chemistry before. If your hands come into contact with a strong acid solution, you should continuously wash them with clean water. You can also use an alkaline solution to wash them. However, I'm not too sure about that. It's definitely not wrong to use clean water!"
Seeing that one of Kanasan's fair and delicate hands was instantly corroded by the strong acid solution and that her bones and flesh were separated, Belina, who was watching from the side, was so frightened that her entire body trembled, and she burst into tears again.
"Kanasan! Kanasan! You can't just wipe it with your clothes. Are you stupid?" Ajay, who was at the side, scolded Kanasan loudly.
But Kanasan couldn't hear anything. Her mind was completely blank. The intense pain caused her body to continuously tremble and convulse.
Frightened by Kanasan's reaction, the courage that the remaining five people had just mustered up vanished in an instant. All the hair on their bodies stood on end. They were so scared that they were about to pee their pants. That deep fear was directly rooted in their brains, and it stimulated every nerve in their bodies.
"F*ck you! Death Inquisitor, you pervert! Madman! Murderer!"
"Come out! I'll kill you!"
"If you dare, come and kill me with one shot!"
"You pervert!"
Madeleine, Trenishan, and Weston were cursing loudly, while Belina was crying non-stop. Her entire person was almost drowned in tears.
"What should I do? Can someone come and save me?"
"Stop shouting! The time is almost up. If we don't act now, it will be too late!" Kanasan endured the intense pain, and she spoke in a trembling voice. At this moment, the cold sweat on her body had completely soaked her clothes. Although the most intense pain had passed, she still felt like there was another needle in her body, constantly stimulating her nerves.
"Kanasan." Belina was calling her between fits of crying.
"F*ck! Can you stop crying! I'm sick of listening to you! You only know how to cry!" Madeleine cursed loudly. Then, she kept taking deep breaths and reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his head.
"F*ck! If one hand is crippled, so be it. It's better to cripple one hand than to die!"
As he spoke, he suddenly reached his hand into the strong acid solution.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
"Ah!"
Madeleine's entire face was distorted from the pain. His entire hand was rapidly decomposing at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. He felt that his bones were about to melt.
Listening to his mournful wails, Trevishan, Weston, and Gardner all swallowed hard and slowly reached their hands down.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
It was like a fried chicken being thrown into a pot of oil. Blood kept popping up on their hands, and their skin and flesh fell off piece by piece then completely dissolved.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
"F*ck! Ah!"
Seeing the flesh on his hands quickly dissolve, Gardner's brain suddenly hurt, and his face was full of snot and tears. To him, to a certain extent, his hands were his life. Without them, he could not perform surgery. His life was ruined.
"Ah! My hands!"
Just as he was screaming in pain, Trevishan also inserted his hands into the glassware.
"Ah!"
The intense pain made Trevishan scream loudly. His hands trembled. He instinctively wanted to pull his hands back, but he bumped into the glassware.
Bang!
The glassware was knocked to the ground.
Crack!
The glassware was smashed into pieces. Immediately, the strong acid solution flowed onto the floor, making sizzling sounds and emitting white smoke and bubbles.
Trevishan was stunned. However, in the next second, he suddenly realized that he had no way to dissolve the iron rod without the strong acid solution. The fear of death welled up in his mind.
"F*ck! What do I do? What do I do now? How did it get knocked down!" Trevishan was panicking. His face turned pale and his voice was trembling.
"Impossible! It's not like that. It's definitely not like that. Death Judge, where are you? I beg you! Can you give me another strong acid solution? I'm willing to use both my hands to reach into the solution, Please!" Trevishan kept looking around. He faced the sealed room and pleaded with the Death Judge, but he did not receive any response.
Seeing his flustered appearance, the audience in the live broadcast room were all very happy.

Chapter 75 : Selective Blocking
"Hahaha! Another stupid one. Why do you think he would give you another glass with acid? Just wait for your death!"
"It was obviously something that could be accomplished by losing one hand, yet you easily gave up your life, idiot!"
"I think it's very good. He probably wants to make the live broadcast more exciting!"
"That's right. If everyone else had left, we wouldn't see the chainsaw cutting people in half. Now, it's good that he sacrificed himself to entertain us!"
Jack glanced at the comments of the audience in the live broadcast room and sneered. He then glanced at Trevishan, and then his gaze fell on Belina. He only saw Belina looking at the glass container that Trevishan had smashed onto the ground. Her gaze was fixed on it, as if she was thinking of something.
"This glass container isn't fixed!"B elina said.
"What did you say? What do you mean?" Kanasan frowned.
Belina didn't answer. She just lay on the bottom of the iron cage and stretched out her hands. What she did next made Gardner and the others want to kill themselves.
Belina picked up the glass container with both hands and moved it up. Because the bottom of the egg-shaped iron cage protruded outward, when the glass container moved to the top, the welding part of the iron rod was directly submerged in the strong acid solution of the glass container.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
The strong acid solution and the welding part of the iron rod reacted quickly, and a large number of bubbles kept surging up.
"F*ck! Why didn't they think of that earlier!"
"F * ck! It's so simple that we didn't expect it!"
"It's like this again. Every single time, the judge comes up with seemingly difficult tests. In fact, it is very simple! He always succeeds in fooling these idiots."
"It's over. Belina is courting death. The other people's hands have been corroded, but now she's not injured at all. I dare say that her actions have caused the others to hate her!"
"Pay attention to the looks in those people's eyes. I can say with certainty that the next person to die is Belina!"
At that moment, in the New York Police Station, in the office of Task Force Zero...
Ross and the others had not expected that the Death Inquisitor's trap would be so simple. In the end, everyone had overlooked such a simple solution.
"The selective shielding of the brain is a kind of thinking defect. Everyone should have experienced this before. You can't find something no matter how hard you look, but in a few days, this thing will appear on the table by itself. Actually, it has always been on the table, but when you see it, your brain selectively blocks it. Sometimes, you keep looking for your phone, but the phone is actually in your hand. It's all the same. Right now, the Death Inquisitor has used this flaw in human thinking to make everyone block out the inconspicuous details in front of them. I have to admit that he is really amazing. He is simply a top-notch master of human psychology. His thinking is so advanced that it's hard to be one step ahead of him!"
Monica explained to the people present. Her heart was very unsettled. Her admiration for the Death Inquisitor had become deeper. She even felt that if this continued, she might even choose to follow the Death Inquisitor.
He was cunning.
He had an extremely high IQ.
He is a top-notch master of psychology.
The people of Task Force Zero were deeply shocked once again.
They knew clearly in their hearts that the more simple things appeared, the more they could show a person's talent. The Death Inquisitor was like this. Every time, he could exceed everyone's expectations, making simple tricks become magical. He played with everyone's brains time and time again, yet he was also successful every single time.
Perhaps the others were simply not smart, but was it possible that all the viewers of the broadcast were actually dumb?
The five-minute limit was quickly reduced to less than a minute.
Some of the viewers even started the countdown on Jack's behalf.
"Thirty-nine, thirty-eight, thirty-seven, thirty-six..."
At that time, except for Trevishan, the other six people had successfully dissolved the welding on the iron rods. They pushed the two iron rods completely away, and a large space appeared at the bottom, which could completely seat a person's buttocks. However, they found that in order to put their buttocks down, they had to first push away the glassware. They understood why the glassware was not fixed. If they had thought one step further at the beginning and thought about what would happen after the iron rods were dissolved, they might not have been so stupid as to put their hands into the strong acid solution and suffer such torture.
The six people pushed away the glassware in front of them and then turned over to sit inside. In this way, the chainsaw could cut through the middle of the egg-shaped iron cage without slicing them in half.
"Phew!"
The six people sat inside and breathed heavily. They let out a sigh of relief and temporarily saved their lives.
Meanwhile, Trevishan was like a fish that had fallen to the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
They crashed into the iron cage again and again, but the space in the iron cage was narrow. They couldn't use their strength and couldn't break it open.
The chainsaw was already very close. The high-speed rotating sawtooth blew on Trevishan's body with the cold wind. It was like the touch of the grim reaper, causing Trevishan to completely collapse.
"Ah Ah Ah!"
"Help!"
"Come and save me! I beg you!" Trevishan shouted, looking at Gardner and the others.
Ajay shook his head and said, "Trevishan, it's useless. We can't get out by ourselves now. We can't save you. There's nothing we can do. You can only die."
"F*ck your mother. You can only die. The ones who deserve to die are you!"
Ajay's expression turned extremely ugly as he said, "Trevishan, I say that there's no point in you doing this. We deserve to die. Don't you deserve to die? Since you think that you don't deserve to die, then why are you the one who has to die and not us?!"
"Ajay, f*ck you! You damn beast! Death Judge, they're the ones who deserve to die. Please don't kill me! You must like watching us fight! As long as you let me go, I'm willing to help you kill them all!"
At this moment, the five-minute time limit was up. The chainsaw came into contact with the egg-shaped iron cage, and the speed of the chainsaw's descent was suddenly much faster.
For a moment, the chainsaw's teeth rubbed against the iron cage, and the sharp and ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing rang out, splashing a large number of sparks. The top lock was sawed open in a few seconds.
"No! No!"
Trevishan hurriedly turned his body and lay in the iron cage. His eyes were fixed on the chainsaw's rapid descent. His face no longer had the appearance of a human, and his facial features were completely distorted.
"Help! Please, save me, Gardner! Ah!"
Trevishan's pants were already covered with his own feces and urine.
The next second, the chainsaw landed on his waist.
Buzz Buzz Buzz...
Chapter 76: The Lock of Death
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
In an instant, thick blood mixed with minced meat was thrown out. The chainsaw directly entered Trevishan's body. The scene zoomed in and gave a close-up shot. The audience felt as if they were already at the scene of the execution.
"F*ck! It's been cut in half!"
"This scene is too strong! I thought the blood had splashed on my face. I even touched it with my hand!"
"This idiot doesn't know how to move his body. If he moved his body, he wouldn't have been sawed into two pieces. Sawing off one leg is better than dying!"
"Move his body? This person is so scared that he has already lost control of his bladder and bowels. When the chainsaw came down just now, his body had already lost consciousness, and he couldn't move even if he wanted to!"
"The human body does have such a mechanism. If you suffer great pain in a short period of time, your body will lose consciousness, and your death will be a little easier!"
"Although it was a little bloody just now, this kind of person is really a damn beast! Support the Death Judge!"
"I support the Death Judge too! Kill the remaining six!"
"F*ck! You scared me to death! I don't dare to watch anymore! I've watched so many episodes, but I still can't get used to it!"
The audience in the live broadcast room started to launch bullet comments. In less than five seconds, Trevishan's entire body had been cut into two halves by the chainsaw. Then, the chainsaw rose up and went back the way it came. Then, they looked at Trevishan again. The internal organs mixed with blood and minced meat all flowed out and hung on the steel cage that had been cut open by the chainsaw. Blood kept dripping down.
Trevishan didn't die immediately. He was still conscious, and the loss of blood made his face pale. He stared blankly at his sawed-off body. Blood continued to flow, and his internal organs and minced meat splattered everywhere.
The smell of blood and stench filled the air.
"F*ck!"
Trevishan's body twitched, and he died.
Meanwhile, Gardner and the rest had also escaped. Looking at Trevishan's tragic death, their bodies trembled in fear.
Ajay spat at Trevishan's corpse and cursed him. "F*ck you! You deserve to be cut open by a chainsaw. You deserve to die the most and you still want to kill us!"
Suddenly...
Kacha!
A sound was heard and the lock on the large iron door of the room automatically opened.
They looked at each other and Gardner said, "We only have a total of thirty minutes. It has already been a little more than five minutes. Let's hurry up. We don't have much time. Let's go."
The others nodded and walked towards the large iron door.
Creak!
The iron door opened, and behind it was another sealed secret room. The structure and size were similar to the previous room, but the layout was not quite the same. In the middle was a strange device that looked like a lock core. That device was directly connected to another large iron door.
This was the second mechanism.
When they saw it, they frowned at the same time.
Trevishan died in the first trap. What about this trap? What kind of game would it be? How dangerous would it be? Would people die? Who would die?
No one could answer these questions.
With even more uncertainty, they felt more afraid.
They couldn't help but tremble, but they had no choice. Their lives were already in the hands of the Death Judge. If they wanted to live, they had to find the exit in thirty minutes and leave that place.
The six of them walked into the room and looked around. The walls were a little dilapidated, and the air was very humid. There was a musty smell in the air, which was even more depressing than the sealed room.
The few of them slowly walked towards the strange device. They only heard a click, and the door behind them closed, frightening all of them.
"F*ck! What's going on!"
"What's this thing again?"
"It looks like a lock."
While they were thinking, Jack's cold and deep hoarse voice rang out once again.
"Congratulations. The six of you have passed the first level of the game and successfully arrived at the second level. However, because of Trevishan's death, your situation at this level will become more difficult because each of you will have a greater burden. As you can see, the device in front of you is called the lock of death. Your quest is to open the large iron door, find the key, and open the lock of death. You will be able to leave this place and arrive at the last room. Remember, the key is on you. You only have ten minutes. If you can't open the iron door within ten minutes, the iron door will be locked forever. When the thirty minutes are up, your heads will explode like ripe watermelons. Your brains will explode and blood will splatter. It's like an oil painting. Isn't it beautiful? I'm really looking forward to seeing such a scene."
"You lunatic! In your dreams! I definitely won't die here! You pervert!" Ajay scolded loudly.
Jack sneered and said, "Whether you want to live or die, it's up to you."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of a timer sounded off.
Hearing the countdown, their nerves tensed up again.
"Gardner, the Death Judge said that if it's on us. What does that mean?" Kanasan walked over and asked.
"Is he asking us to search our bodies? Could he have hidden something?"
"It's possible!"
They searched their bodies, but they didn't find any keys or clues on them.
"What's going on? Is the Death Judge lying?"
Gardner shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. Let's look around and see if there are any clues."
"Okay. Let's look around."
Everyone agreed and began to search in the sealed room.
"The smell in here is so bad!" Belina fanned herself with her hand.
No one answered her. Only Kanasan glanced at her. Her eyes were very cold with some hatred, and then she turned her head away.
It was only then that Belina realized that from the moment she was freed until now, everyone had looked at her with a cold and hostile gaze filled with hatred. She suddenly realized that she might have been isolated, and a sense of crisis arose in her heart. This was because she knew very well that in such an environment, being isolated was very terrifying. It was almost equivalent to dying. She had to find an ally.
"Kanasan, thank you. If it wasn't for you, I might not have survived until now. I will definitely listen to you in the future." Belina acted very obedient and came over to please Kanasan with a grateful look.
"This idiot finally realized that she was being ostrcized!"
"You still want to please others. Don't you think that others can only get out of this because they are in so much pain? You are fine. Who would want to work with you!"
"She's not injured, but the probability of her death has increased!"
The audience in the live broadcast room sent their opinions in the bullet comments.

Chapter 77: The Consequences of Being Isolated
Hearing Belina's fawning, Kanasan's expression was cold and indifferent, and she was unwilling to pay attention to her. She coldly said, "Don't listen to me. If you had listened to me, your hands would be the same as mine now. Look at how good you are now. You're not injured at all. You're all white and tender. How good-looking!"
As she spoke, she raised her rotten left hand. There didn't seem to be much flesh left, and it carried a stench.
Belina was startled. She couldn't help but wrinkle her nose when she smelled the stench on her hand, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Kanasan, you're too strong. Let me bandage you up."
Kanasan scoffed. "You looked at my hand and think it's disgusting, so you're asking me to bandage it up!" Kanasan glared fiercely at Belina. "Don't follow me. I think you're disgusting too!"
Belina froze on the spot. The first ally she tried to reel in had rejected her. Then, she looked at Ajay, Madeline, Weston, and Gardner. Just when she was looking for the next target, Madeleine suddenly shouted, "Gardner! I found a medical box."
She saw Madeleine standing in the corner, holding a white box with a red cross in his hand. However, the box was dirty, as if it had not been used for a long time.
"Bring it over for me to see," Gardner said.
Six people surrounded him. Gardner opened the box and saw that there were surgical instruments inside: scalpels, surgical scissors, vascular pliers, right-angle pliers, triangular needles, abdominal retractors, and even some surgical instruments for craniotomy. There were also some simple antibiotics.
"Gardner, what are these things for?" Ajay looked at Gardner.
Gardner revealed a crazy and twisted smile and said, "At this time, I know what the Death Inquisitor wants to do. If we want to open the lock, we have to take something out of our bodies."
"Ah? What do you mean?"
"It won't be like the last live broadcast, where she was forced to dissect herself, right?" Madeleine widened her eyes and asked in horror.
"That's not the case. No one will die in this round. What we need are things that won't kill us, such as eyes, ears, nose, gallbladder, appendix, nipples, teeth, and so on," Gardner said. He looked at Belina.
Belina lowered her head in fear.
Weston asked, "Gardner, is what you said true or false? Will no one die in this round?"
"Why would I lie to you? You can go over and take a look yourself. That is a human body password lock. After placing the various organs of the human body into the corresponding shape, the lock can be opened. I have seen this thing in a magazine before. I did not expect it to really exist. Now, it is used on us."
Gardner had a twisted smile on his face. As he spoke, he kept shaking the retractor in his hand.
A few people immediately surrounded him. At this time, the camera in the live broadcast room gave a clear close-up. Sure enough, on that lock, there were really many grooves of different shapes. Some were like a nose, some were like teeth, and some were like eyes. Under the grooves were various mechanisms. Only by putting in the matching parts could one unlock the human body lock and finally open the door.
"The judge can always find something new that we don't know about!"
"This prop is so cool. It looks like something out of a sci-fi novel!"
"Why do I feel like Belina is going to die?"
"Hahaha! I have the same thought as you. Belina is dead for sure!"
"Belina is dead for sure 1!"
"The judge's design is too amazing. Either the hand is disabled, or he is waiting to be hated by others!"
"What if they don't knock down the glassware? What then?"
"Even if no one can get their hands on the glassware, after they push away the iron rod, they will have to move the glassware away if they want to sit down. When all their hands are corroded, they will realize that they don't need to cripple their hands at all. Do you think their spirits will collapse?"
"That's right. The design of the judge is completely flawless unless they can find that the glassware can be moved away from the beginning. Unfortunately, no one can do it! They can't compete with the judge's strategy of psychological misdirection!"
"The Death Inquisitor is definitely a top-notch master of psychology!"
While the audience in the live broadcast room were discussing how powerful Jack was, they had already begun to predict the next situation.
In the office of the New York Police Department, Task Force Zero...
Ross and the others had the same opinion as the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Belina found the loophole of the Death Inquisitor in the first round. I don't know whether it's good or bad, but she's now isolated and hostile. She's even more dangerous than the others. I'm afraid she's really going to die!"
"If she's really dead, then I guess the others will all die in the third level!" Monica said.
"You mean the third level will be a large-scale team-cooperation game?" Ross asked.
"Yes, it must be. Don't you think the game in the second level is like a trap? Even if the game in the second level has no loophole, it's not that difficult. At most, one person can sacrifice a little to get through it. But do you think they will share equally with such a group of people? This is the real trap that the Death Judge designed in this round of the game! They would definitely focus their attacks on one person, and now that Belina is isolated, they would want to attack Belina. Belina is dead for sure!"
Ross sighed and said, "Then we can only hope that they are not too selfish. Otherwise, there will be no survivors this time!"
They looked back at the big screen.
At this time, the six people in the live broadcast room understood the rules of the game.
Gardner said, "On whom should we start?"
They looked at each other, and their eyes quickly focused on Belina.
"Belina, right now, you're the only one who isn't injured. Your condition is better than ours. Why don't we start with you?" Kanasan said.
Seeing the five people staring at her, Belina felt like she was a piece of meat waiting to be butchered, but she didn't dare to refuse.
"Okay. A human body lock requires a total of seven items. There are six of us. You guys choose five items first, and I'll do the remaining two. Is that okay?" Belina suggested.
Kanasan smiled and said, "You're really great. You're so selfless. Why don't you donate all seven items?"
"Hehe..."
"Hehehe..."
All of them laughed. Their laughter was very dark and very strange. They sounded very sinister and sarcastic.
Belina was so scared that she took a step back. The expression on her face became stiff and scared. Their eyes and their laughter made her feel very uneasy and scared. She felt like she was being stared at by a group of hyenas.

Chapter 78: I Want to Watch From the Beginning to the End
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Not only Belina, but even the audience in the live broadcast room could also feel the deep hostility through the screen.
"It's over, it's over, Belina is going to be killed by them!"
"How pathetic! They're even willing to sacrifice two things in their bodies. These people aren't really going to kill her, right? Just because her hands weren't corroded by the strong acid solution?"
"If you continue to endure, your opponents will only see your weakness and will bully you even more fiercely. Just like the school bullying case, you must not tolerate it and fight them to the death!"
"I suddenly pity Belina."
"Aren't you stupid to pity her? Think about the way she eats human flesh. Do you still think that she's pitiful?"
"That's right. Don't forget that Belina is also a scumbag. The reason why she's there is because she has eaten human flesh and killed people with her own hands!"
While the viewers in the live broadcast room were intensely discussing their opinions, Gardner took out a scalpel and looked at Belina with a gloomy gaze.
Weston and Ajay quickly held Belina down. With her body size, she could only kill and fight against a weak homeless man. It was completely impossible for her to resist the two fierce men, who were still strong even though they had already crippled one of their hands.
Belina started sobbing. "Gardner, I'll give you another one. I'll give you three more. For the sake of our many years of friendship, don't make things so difficult for me. Please, Ajay, I'm usually nice to you. Please help me out. Weston, please help me out. The next level is likely to be a multiplayer game. Yes, it's a multiplayer game. If you kill me, it won't be good for you. You can't kill me!"
Belina's face was full of tears as she cried and pleaded. However, her companions' faces were cold, and none of them spoke up for her.
Gardner's cold face revealed a trace of a cold smile as he said, "Belina, what's wrong with you? What nonsense are you talking about? How can we kill you? We are now a community of fates. Just like you said, the next level is very likely to be a multi-player cooperative game, so you can't die. Even if you want to die, I won't allow it."
"Thank you, Gardner! Thank you!"
"Okay. Do any of you want to offer your eyeballs?" Gardner glanced at the others.
The others shook their heads. Then, Gardner looked at Belina. It was clear what he was planning to do.
"In that case, Belina, we will take an eyeball from you first. However, there are a lot of optic nerves connected to the brain on the eyeball, so it might be very painful. Bear with it."
As Gardner spoke, he held a scalpel in one hand and a pair of surgical forceps in the other. He opened Belina's left eye, and a large round eyeball was revealed. There were red blood vessels around the pupil, and the scene looked very horrifying.
Gardner's left hand had been dissolved and had already rotted. At this moment, it was no longer flexible to be used, and it was also trembling slightly.
Gardner laughed a little and said, "This is going to be my last surgery."
Looking at his charred left hand that looked like burnt bones, Gardner's expression became very complicated. Then, he cut the scalpel into the corner of Belina's eyes.
"Ah!"
Belina's scream shook everyone's eardrums. Her limbs flailed wildly. It was unknown where her strength came from. Weston and Ajay almost couldn't hold her down. Madeleine and Kanasan immediately went to help hold her down.
The four of them held Belina tightly.
But her body continued to twitch, and her mouth kept on taking deep breaths.
"Ah! Ah! It hurts so much!"
Soon, a warm eyeball appeared in Gardner's palm. The eyeball was still bleeding, and when he looked at Belina, the opened eyelid couldn't close anymore. It looked like a pitch-black hole. Streams of blood flowed down from the corner of her eye. It was even more terrifying than the female ghosts in horror movies.
"F*ck! I'm scared to death! It's getting more and more terrifying!"
"I didn't expect this level to be so simple and yet so terrifying!"
"A living person digging out an eye! It looks even more terrifying than the last time! The last time, the eye was crushed by a hand. It looked fine. This time, the eyeball is still intact. It looks really terrifying!"
"What a big eyeball! This is the first time I've seen a complete eyeball that isn't broken!"
"It's really exciting. I feel like I'm eating lychee!"
"You're really ruthless! After seeing this, you still dare to eat a lychee! Don't tell me you're also a pervert!"
The audience in the live broadcast room felt extremely shocked and horrified, but in their eyes, all this torture was what these scumbags deserved!
They removed organs, drained people's blood, and cooked them in soups.
Compared to what they did to the homeless, digging out their eyes was nothing.
Gardner then placed his eyeballs into the grooves of the human body lock.
Kacha!
The sound of a mechanical bite came from inside the human body lock.
"There's a reaction!"
"It's working! We can get out!"
"Great! We can get through this stage!"
"Stop talking. There are seven minutes left. Hurry up and get through! There's still another stage to go!"
Gardner glanced at Belina, who was trembling non-stop. He then looked at the others and asked, "We have eyes. Next is ear. Who is willing to contribute their ears?"
Everyone still shook their heads. No one was willing to have their ears cut off. In a trembling voice, Belina said, "Gardner, let me do it."
"Sure. Anyway, the ear is useless. Cutting off one won't make much of a difference. It's just a little ugly." After Gardner said that, he picked up the scalpel and quickly cut off Belina's ear.
"Ah!" Belina cried loudly.
Gardner put the ear that he had just cut off into the human body lock.
Kacha!
There was another mechanical sound.
"Oh right, you said that you were willing to offer three, right? Then I'll choose a simpler one for you. How about nipples?"
After Gardner said that, Ajay's big hand grabbed onto Belina's clothes and directly tore it open, revealing the black lace hollow bra inside.
Then, Ajay pulled with his big hand, and the bra flew out. Belina's big white breasts popped out.
"F*ck! Tens of millions of people are watching this restricted scene!"
"Didn't you notice that this Belina is really big and white? These scumbags won't take the opportunity to f*ck her, right?"
"From today onwards, I won't miss a single episode of the judge's live broadcast. I'll watch it from beginning to end!"
"That's right. I will watch it from the beginning to the end too. Otherwise, I don't know when I will miss out on something good!"
"Why did the style of the live broadcast suddenly change? I feel that the title can be changed to something like those in Pornhub!"
"I have already finished. Women are boring."
Seeing this scene on the popular platform, the audience instantly became disrespectful.

Chapter 79: The Third Level of the Game
Gardner's large hand grabbed onto Belina's body. It felt very nice, but time was of the essence, so he wasn't in the mood to think about anything else.
He raised the scalpel and slashed again. Belina screamed in pain and almost fainted from the pain.
Kacha!
It was another mechanical sound.
Gardner said, "All right, Belina has already contributed three of her parts. Who is willing to contribute their nose?"
The others did not speak. After three seconds of silence, Kanasan said, "Belinya, you are so great. You have already contributed three parts. Why don't you contribute one more? You have no eyes or ears anyway. Why would you need a nose? When we get out of here, I will earn money to support you!"
Belina sneered. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If I give you my nose, you would then want me to give you my wisdom teeth, appendix, and gallbladder! But don't forget, there's still the third level. If I die, there will be one less person in the group. Without me, are you sure you can pass the next level?"
Their faces turned serious. They didn't care whether others were dead or alive, but when it involved their own interests, they had to consider it.
At this moment, Gardner said, "I said from the beginning that these seven body parts are not essential. Our bodies will not die without those parts. Even if these seven things all came from one person, that person will not die."
"Hehe..."
"Hehehehe..."
They felt relieved after hearing Gardner's words, and all of them laughed sinisterly.
"Ah! You bunch of scum! You can just kill me!"
Belina screamed shrilly as her body was ruthlessly pressed against the cold ground. The intense pain stimulated every nerve in her body, and her entire body grew numb due to the intense pain.
Soon, the smell of mold enveloped her. She felt that her body had become moldy and smelly. Disgust, fear, and death were slowly approaching her. She felt her body becoming heavier and heavier. She felt like she was about to fall to the ground.
In her blurry consciousness, she vaguely heard the laughter of a few people talking.
"There's still a use for you. How could we kill you?"
"Hold her down tightly. Don't let her move."
"Wow. This is her gallbladder? It's so small?"
"The gallbladder is this big. It's not like you haven't seen it before."
"Move it aside a little. Look at her kidneys. They must be very perfect and very healthy."
"Stop looking. Prepare to cut out her appendix."
"Madeleine, take the forceps and pull out her back molars. You need to pull out two of them."
The five of them surrounded Belina. The floor was like an operating table. At this moment, the camera zoomed in to give a close-up. Tens of millions of viewers seemed to be watching the scene. They only saw that Gardner's technique was very skilled. He removed and sewed. His actions were swift and precise. Everyone could not help but imagine him removing the organs of those homeless people.
"F*ck! These people really don't have any humanity left! They're so cruel to their own people. I can already imagine what they're like to those homeless people!"
"How bloody! This is practically dissecting a human body!"
"I already guessed that this would happen. It doesn't matter who dies. They're all a bunch of damn scumbags anyway!"
In the office of the New York Police Department's Special Task Force Zero...
Looking at the bloody and brutal scene in the live broadcast room, the police officer's faces were very gloomy.
"A bunch of selfish and stupid guys!"
Bowman shook his head and said, "Not exactly. Just like Gardner said, once those things are taken off, Belina won't really die. She can only be considered a little crippled."
"But they're so cruel to Belina. Will Belina still be willing to go through the third stage with them?"
"It's hard to say. It's hard to say for sure. But survival is a biological instinct. Moreover, she can't fight against four people alone. Even if she doesn't want to cooperate, I'm afraid she won't be able to resist."
Monica said, "She is destined to be a victim."
Ross sighed. These people showed him the ugly side of human nature. Even though he had been a police officer for many years, he had rarely seen such inhumane scums.
Putting aside the case, from his personal point of view, he wanted these people to die immediately. However, what he needed now were survivors—people who had survived the live broadcast of death and people who had been in close contact with the Death Inquisitor.
At this moment, in the sealed room.
Kacha!
Kacha!
Kacha!
The sound of mechanical bites rang out one after another.
Then, the machine turned, and the three iron bars on the large iron door all retreated.
"We did it!"
"That's great! We can survive!"
"We're not injured in this round. We can definitely get out of here alive!"
"Gardner, you're really the smartest!"
The five of them were very excited now. Without paying any price, they had passed the second round. Now, there was only one last round left. With just one step, they would be able to step out of hell and walk back into the world of light, achieving rebirth.
Their success in the second stage filled them with confidence. They felt sure of their survival.
Gardner laughed and said, "Take Belina with you. We will go to the last stage."
At this time, Belina was lying on the ground. She looked like she would die at any moment. Her entire body was covered in wounds and blood kept dripping down. Although the wounds had been closed, her flesh was torn, and a lot of blood flowed out from the sutures.
Ajay came over and lifted her up like he was grabbing a dead dog.
"All of you will die miserably! You bunch of scum! Gardner, you are an animal. This matter actually happened because of you. Don't think that I don't know that Adalind was your little lover. If it weren't for her, the Death Inquisitor wouldn't have found us at all!"
Belina whispered with a weak breath. At first, no one paid much attention to it, but when it came to Adalind, they all looked at Gardner coldly.
Gardner also coldly responded. "Why are you looking at me? It's not bad that Adalind was my lover, but if it weren't for you guys randomly throwing human meat soup outside, would we have been noticed by the Death Inquisitor?"
"All right, all right. Things have already come to this. What's the point of saying so much? No one can blame anyone. Don't let this little bitch sow discord between us. Let's finish the next level of the game properly and escape from here. Surviving is the most important thing," said Kanasan.
"Kanasan is right."
"Let's go."
The big iron door opened, and a very dark room appeared in front of them.
"It's so dark!"
"Why isn't the light on?"
They walked in, but they didn't dare to go too far inside. The big iron door creaked and automatically returned to the distance.
At that moment, Belina suddenly used all her strength to break free from Ajay's restraint and directly rushed back to the second secret room.
Kacha!
The big iron door closed.

Chapter 80: The Coffin of Death
Ajay had a blank look on his face. He did not know what had happened. He only reacted after two seconds.
"F*ck! Open the door!"
Bang bang bang!
Ajay knocked on the door hard and tried to pull it open again. However, there was no movement from the door.
"We all deserve it now. Our hands have been stained with too much blood. Each and every one of us deserves to die. The sins on us are too great. If we go out and get caught by the police, we will die. I don't want to leave this place. I want to die here. I want to use my life to atone for my sins. I believe that all of you will die here just like me!" Belina knelt on the ground. She had no nose and lost one of her eyes. Her eyes were empty, and her face was full of blood. She looked extremely hideous and terrifying.
"She actually turned back? Isn't she dead for sure?"
"She just doesn't want to live anymore! She wants to drag these people down with her!"
"I didn't expect Belina would do that! She actually had a trick up her sleeve!"
"Actually, Belina did the right thing. These people were so cruel to her, so why did she have to be their sacrificial lamb? Since she's going to die anyway, why not repent before she dies and use her life and these people's lives to atone for her sins!"
"Her face is actually quite pretty, and her figure is also not bad. What's wrong with being so young? If she had to do such a thing, even going out to be a prostitute would be better than doing such a cruel thing. She deserves this ending!"
With Belina's unexpected decision, the audience in the live broadcast room started to fire up the bullet screen, directly covering up the live broadcast.
Even Ross and the others in the NYPD office were shocked.
"Belina looked so timid before. I didn't expect her to make such a choice in the end. I'm afraid Gardner and the others will have a hard time getting out of there alive," Anthony said.
Monica explained, "Psychologically speaking, the more timid and cowardly a person is, the greater their psychological potential will be. When such a person is angered, they become unpredictable. Consequences are hard to imagine. Such cowardly people shouldn't be pushed to the edge. If they are pushed to the limit, they actually become very dangerous. Many famous psychopathic killers exhibit cowardly behaviors before they are discovered."
"I wonder what the third level is. The room is pitch black and I can't see anything. Why aren't the lights on? What is the Death Judge waiting for? No matter what, we can only be sure that it's not a good thing."
Ross had just finished speaking.
Ka! Ka! Ka!
The lights in the third sealed room were all lit up. The intense white light was very dazzling and unsettling.
Compared to the two rooms in front, this room was much smaller and cleaner.
At a glance, one could only see a crystal coffin standing diagonally in the middle of the room. At the two corners of the coffin's top, there was a steel cable pulling each and connecting it to the gears below the ground.
Other than this device, the room was empty. There was nothing else.
There were no complicated props.
There were no terrifying devices from before.
But the people there were more terrified than ever before. They felt uncertain because Belina had run away again, and their group had one less person.
Just as the five of them were at a loss, Jack's cold and hoarse voice sounded again.
"Congratulations, the five of you. You have arrived at the final stage of the game. You have successfully completed the final stage of the game. You will be able to take off the bomb collar around your neck and regain your freedom. However, due to the death of Trevishan and the departure of Belina, your next mission has become extremely difficult. You will be facing the most severe challenge because this is a team rescue type of game. As you can see, the crystal coffin in the middle of the room is called the 'rebirth coffin.' You will need to select a person to be rescued and put in the coffin. The rest of you will be responsible for rescuing him. When the person lies in the coffin, the lid of the coffin will automatically close. The air inside will be continuously sucked out. In about five minutes, the air inside will be sucked out into a vacuum. During this time, ten buttons will be pushed out from the ten circular holes on the surrounding walls. In five minutes, you will have to press a button at the same time to open the lid of the coffin and complete the rescue. At that time, the Iron Gate will automatically open. You will obtain the key. Use the key to open the collar, and you will be able to regain your freedom. However, I would like to remind you that if you can not complete the closing and opening of the coffin cover within five minutes, the lock on the iron door will not be electrified. At that time, the door will not be opened. In other words, if you cannot complete the rescue, everyone will be buried with you. This room will become your tomb, and everyone will disappear from this world forever. The bomb collar around your neck will explode in ten minutes. That means you have nearly five minutes to consider who will be the one to be rescued and who will be buried in the coffin. Make your choice quickly."
In the office of Task Force Zero of the New York Police Department...
Hearing this, Ross's expression turned serious. He was writing down as he listened, and he had to stop because of his shock. He had written down all the important points that the Death Inquisitor had mentioned.
"The third level is really a team cooperation game, and it's also a game of salvation. In the last game, they killed their companions, but this time, it's to save their companions," Monica said.
Ross looked at the notebook and said, "Actually, the Death Judge has already sentenced them to death. There are a total of ten buttons on the wall. If one person lies down, there will only be four left. Four people, eight hands, but there are ten buttons. What about the remaining two buttons? Who will press them?"
Anthony shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. It depends on the position of the ten buttons. If the positions are placed closer together, they can use their heads or other parts of their bodies to press down. But if there is a greater distance between them..."
Monica gently pursed her lips and said, "I don't think the Death Judge will design such a simple game. They will definitely give a close-up. We will know when the time comes. But I hope that they will be the first survivors."
"I don't think they can survive," Judy said.
"The Death Inquisitor shouldn't have deliberately designed such a simple game to let them survive. If they can't find the trap at this level, then they definitely won't survive. However, this way, I have a few more corpses to study," Bowman said from the side.
Although they were already used to this forensic doctor's ways, everyone still felt a little horrified.
Around that time, as soon as the viewers in the live broadcast room understood the rules of the game, they began to send bullet comments to express their opinions.

Chapter 81: Four People with Ten Hands
"Guess who they will choose to lie in that coffin? I bet it will be that Kanasan!"
"I'm sure it will be Gardner. You should know that Belina revealed that it was because of Gardner that they ended up there. The other four people will definitely hate him to death and will unite against him."
"After all, Kanasan is a woman. It will be easier to push her in. The four men will probably join forces."
"Let's not worry about that for now. Do you have an intelligent analysis? Where are the traps in this level?"
"There aren't any traps in this level, right? The rules of the game are very clear. This is a rescue type game. They just need to rescue people from the inside. To be honest, this level is a little too simple."
"That's simple? If Belina were there, the game would be very simple. They would definitely get out. But now there's one less person. They're in big trouble!"
Meanwhile, in the sealed room, Gardner and the others looked at each other.
"Don't look at me. I definitely won't go in that damn coffin!" Ajay said coldly.
Kanasan said, "I won't go in either. I'm actually the biggest victim. That night, I didn't even drink that pot of human meat soup. I also didn't have a lover who exposed us. I'm accompanying you guys in the torture!"
Madeleine's expression became very ugly. That night, he, Ajay, and Weston had eaten the human meat soup, but it was absolutely impossible for him to lie down in that coffin.
They turned their gazes to Gardner.
Actually, from the moment Kanasan opened her mouth, Gardner realized that he was in trouble.
"Are you guys going to make a move on me?"
"Gardner, go in. We'll save you."
"Yeah, Gardner. You're just going in to lie down for a while anyway."
Gardner sneered and said, "Don't you need my technical support?"
"The rules of the game this time are very simple. What kind of support would you need?" Ajay said.
Gardner snorted coldly and said, "Then have you ever thought about how the four of you will press ten buttons with eight hands when I'm lying down in there?"
"Yeah! How could we forget about that?"
"F*ck! What should we do?"
"It's over! It's over!"
They were stunned. Gardner laughed sinisterly and walked to Kanasan.
"Have you thought about it?"
"Me?" Kanasan frowned.
"I've thought about it." Gardner raised his right hand quickly and a cold light cut towards Kanasan's throat.
"You..."
Kananshan only felt a cold hand touch her neck, and then a large amount of blood spurted out, splashing a meter away.
"F*ck!"
"How accurate. He died with one cut. If the judge didn't say that he was a doctor, I would have thought that he was a professional killer!"
"Is this Gardner crazy?"
"Did he kill her simply because she exposed him?"
Looking at the crazily gushing blood in the camera, the audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned. They didn't know what Gardner was going to do.
Ajay, Madeleine, and Weston were also stunned. They had a puzzled look on their faces. No one had expected Gardner to be so ruthless as to kill Kanasan with just one cut.
Until then, they still didn't know what Gardner was going to do.
The carotid artery was severed, and in less than ten seconds, Kanasan was completely dead.
"Are you crazy? There's one less person now!"
"F*ck! You don't want to live anymore? I still want to live! F*ck you! I'll kill you!"
Ajay and Madeleine were instantly enraged, and the blood vessels on their faces bulged out. Fortunately, Weston was there to stop them, or Gardner would have been in trouble.
"Quiet down. Do you want another person to die?"
At this moment, Gardner looked at Kanasan's body. He sneered and said, "Kanasan is the one who lies in the coffin. The Death Judge didn't say that the one who lies in the coffin must be alive. Most importantly, we now have ten hands."
Gardner threw the scalpel on Kanasan's body.
"Cut off both of her hands."
Ajay, Madeleine, and Weston immediately understood what Gardner wanted to do.
"Gardner, you're so smart! What a good idea."
"I told you, Gardner's IQ is the highest. This bitch actually wanted to let Gardner lie in the coffin!"
"Who cares about her? At this critical moment, we all have to rely on Gardner!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Jack shook his head. Gardner was really too stupid.
At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room once again launched bullet screens.
"F*ck! These three people are really chameleons. Just now, they said that they wanted to let Gardner in, but now they're on his side again!"
"People who have no humanity are like this. This kind of people are the most disgusting. They can betray anyone, and only their own interests are their eternal friends!"
"Yeah, but Gardner will kill anyone who threatens him at any time."
Kanasan's two hands were quickly cut off from her wrists, and blood was still dripping on the ground. It looked very terrifying.
"All right. Now that we have ten hands, throw her into the coffin."
Ajay grabbed Kanasan's clothes and directly lifted her up, throwing her into the crystal coffin. The moment Kanasan's body was thrown into the coffin, a circular iron device could be seen on the coffin. With a crack, it rotated ninety degrees, the coffin lid was locked.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
There was a timer under the coffin, and the five-minute countdown began.
Click!
At this moment, a total of ten buttons appeared from the holes on the surrounding walls. In the live broadcast room, a close-up shot was shown.
The ten buttons were distributed on the four walls, and each pair was divided into five groups. The two buttons in one group were 50 centimeters apart, while the one in the other group was more than two meters apart.
In the office of Task Force Zero of the New York Police Department...
Looking at the distribution of the ten buttons in the close-up lens, Ross's ugly face froze.
"This design only allows everyone to press two buttons. If Belina were there, they might have won this game easily."
"Unfortunately, there are no ifs," Monica said.
"But don't they already have ten hands?" Hart asked.
Monica spoke with a bitter smile. "You overlooked a problem, and many people have overlooked it too. How do you press the buttons on the wall with the two hands that were cut off from Kanasan? You would need someone to hold those two hands! They're dead!"

Chapter 82: Late Discovery
Those present widened their eyes and mouths.
This question was so primitive and simple.
They felt that they were too stupid.
What would Gardner and the others do with a pair of lifeless hands? Their capacity to make sound judgments had apparently been stunted.
In the live broadcast room, at this time, Gardner and the other three finally realized this problem.
"Gardner, it doesn't seem to be of any use if we look down at Kanasan's hand." Ajay held Kanasan's hand with a blank look on his face. He didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the audience in the broadcast room also started to send their bullet comments.
"I didn't think that I'd be laughing this hard one day just by watching the live broadcast. t I couldn't stop laughing that I had to stop watching the death broadcast for a while."
"It's over. Their IQ had just made their situation hopeless!"
"Let's not talk about them. I feel that our IQ is hopeless too. I actually didn't notice anything wrong until now!"
"Me too! It seems that our IQ is about the same as theirs. When Gardner first revealed his plan, I even thought that they were going to get out alive!"
"It seems that Gardner's not as smart as they believe! Could it be that he simply paid for his degree and license?"
"I don't know if Belina in the next room is dead. If she saw this scene, she would probably laugh out loud, Hahaha!"
Gardner blinked his eyes and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. After a while, he opened his mouth.
"F*ck!"
He realized what he did was stupid. Even he could not believe it.
"How about this? Let's see if we can fix Kanasan's hand to the wall." Gardner's mind was running fast. He was a little anxious because time was running out. If they could not successfully open the door lock., then the only option waiting for them to save them was death.
They swarmed near the group of buttons. They found that these buttons were made of iron, and the wall was also made of iron. It was a sealed iron room.
Ajay tried to press the button calmly. It was hard to navigate. A child would not be able to easily press the button at all.
After trying a few times, Ajay's face became very ugly. His face was frighteningly pale.
"No! What should we do?"
"F*ck! If only Belina didn't run back just now, we would all be able to get out alive! D*mn it!"
"Don't talk about those useless things. It has already been two minutes. Quickly think of a way!"
"What else can we do? Don't tell me we have to split the person in half!"
They became very depressed. Gardner, on the other hand, kept taking deep breaths. His brain was working at a high speed. He was only one step away from surviving. He was not willing to die there.
This was a gang. The audience in the live broadcast room began to discuss.
"Is there anyone with a high IQ? Let's see if we can think of a way. Did the judge leave a trap?"
"No need to think about it. Things have reached this stage and there's no way to solve it. They're dead!"
"Let's prepare to see their heads explode in a while!"
"How tragic! It's better to be in a coffin just now. It's better to suffocate than to see their heads explode!"
"They deserve it! They're all a bunch of damn scumbags! I can only be at ease after seeing them die!"
Meanwhile, looking at the live broadcast room, Ross began to think. He was drawing something on his notebook.
"What will happen if they can't complete the rescue?"
"The iron door will be locked forever, the collar on the neck will explode, and their heads will be blown up," Anthony said.
Ross said, "Do you still remember what the Death Judge said? That room will become their grave, and everyone will disappear from this world forever. What does the Death Judge mean by disappearing?"
"It means that people are dead. It's not really an important matter, though, right?" Judy said with her eyes wide open.
Bowman said, "The most important thing now is how four people will get to press all those ten buttons."
The corner of Ross's mouth twitched slightly. He had been thinking about the matter for a long time, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Actually, there were five of them."
"Yes, but didn't one of them have to lie in the coffin?"
"Then, have you ever thought that since a dead person lying in a coffin can also trigger the mechanism, other things can also be put in? Although the Death Judge did not specify whether the person lying in the coffin would be a living person or a dead person, he did not say that it had to be a person!"
"Ah?"
"Oh my god!"
For a moment, the entire office was filled with gasps of surprise and shock.
"That's right. The Death Judge deliberately emphasized that the air in the coffin would be sucked dry within five minutes. In fact, he deliberately instilled in everyone the idea that the person who would be rescued had to be a living person. But if we think about it carefully, if this game is an exercise that we usually conduct to rescue the hostages, the hostages are just a signboard with the word 'hostage' written on it. They could have just thrown all their clothes and heavy items into the coffin. I guess there is a pressure sensing device under the coffin. It can only detect the weight, but not whether they are alive or not. This game is a huge trap."
After Monica finished analyzing for everyone, her face turned red for some reason, and her heart beat faster. She was once again conquered by the Death Inquisitor's meticulous thinking and perfect psychological misdirection.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
"Fifty-nine..."
"Fifty-eight..."
"Fifty-seven..."
Everyone silently chanted the last-minute countdown in their hearts.
"F*ck! Quickly think of a way! If we can't think of a way, we really won't be able to get out once the time is up!"
"F*ck! You still have the cheek to say that? If it wasn't for you not keeping an eye on Belina and letting her escape, we would be fine now!"
"Are you blaming me? Why didn't you watch her yourself?"
"If you were watching her, she couldn't have escaped!"
Ajay and Madeleine started arguing. Weston was so anxious that his head was covered in sweat, and his face was very pale. Gardner kept hitting his head, sometimes closing his eyes and sometimes narrowing them.
"F*ck! We've been deceived!" Gardner suddenly shouted.
"Gardner, what's wrong now?"
The flesh on Gardner's face twitched a few times, revealing a very angry and ferocious expression.
"Since that coffin can let the dead in, why can't it let other people in? We didn't need to put a human inside. F*ck! Why didn't I think of this at that time? Ahhh! We have been fooled again. We could have gotten out of here alive! Ahhh!"
Gardner was devastated. He had never been so devastated. Even when he found out that he had been captured by the Death Inquisitor, he had been the calmest of them all. He had thought that he could get out of here on his own.
But at that moment, he was completely devastated.

Chapter 83: Hamburger Ingredients
Gardner had never been so devastated. If the design of the game itself made it impossible for them to survive, then he was dead. The Death Inquisitor had not given him a chance. But now that he had connected the rules and traps of the game, he realized what a huge mistake he had made. He realized that he had been led step by step into the trap by the Death Inquisitor, the situation that he could have survived had been completed by him. He was in total despair.
This was what made him break down the most!
"Why! Why did this happen! Why did I make such a low-level mistake? I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"
Looking at Gardner kneeling on the ground wailing and crazily hitting the ground with his hands, Ajay, Madeleine, and Weston were dumbfounded. The viewers in the live broadcast room were also dumbfounded. They had no idea what he was doing.
"Is this guy crazy?"
"He just realized that he won't survive and there's nothing he can do about it at this point. His mental capacity had just failed him!"
"No, he's not crazy. He just realized what the Death Judge did. He just realized that they could have put other stuff into the coffin. If they had done that, they would have had enough hands to press the buttons, and they could have easily passed the level."
"I understand now. He's broken because of his mistake!"
"You're right. This bunch of idiots still want to compete with the Death Judge in terms of intelligence. It's already pretty good that they've discovered the loophole of the game and know how big of a mistake they've made."
Soon, Ajay and the other two also reacted. Looking at Kanasan who was lying in the crystal coffin, the three of them gritted their teeth and roared in anger.
"F*ck you! It's because of your arrogance that we're going to die with you!"
"F*ck! Let's kill this bastard first!"
"I want to watch you die before I die!"
Ajay kicked out, sending Gardner flying.
Weston sighed and said, "All right, it's useless to hit him. This may be our fate. We can't blame Gardner entirely. We didn't realize that as well. If Gardner didn't say it, I'm afraid we wouldn't even know how big of a mistake we made."
"F*ck!"
"Ahhh! How could this be!"
Ajay flew into a mad rage.
There were only ten seconds left in the countdown.
"Ten."
"Nine."
"Eight."
...
The time was up.
Kacha!
A sound was heard.
The crystal coffin shook a little, and the gears that were biting each other started to spin. Then, the crystal coffin slowly descended to the ground.
Ajay, Madeleine, Weston, and Gardner looked over, their faces full of confusion.
But in the next second, the walls on both sides began to move.
Buzz Buzz Buzz...
The iron walls on both sides began to slowly move toward the middle.
At this moment, Jack's cold and hoarse voice rang out once again.
"I'm very sorry. I originally thought that you guys would be the first batch of survivors to clear the game and get out alive. However, you guys relied on your own selfishness and stupidity to successfully walk on the road to death."
"Now, as you can see, the crystal coffin will land below the ground. The thick and heavy iron walls on both sides will slowly squeeze towards the middle of the house until they are completely stuck together, and you guys will disappear from this world forever."
The four people could not help but tremble after hearing this. The Death Judge was trying to crush them into minced meat!
Looking at the walls that were still slowly moving towards them, they thought about the scene of themselves being crushed into minced meat.
"F*ck! F*ck your mother!"
"You perverted murderer, come out! I will kill you!"
"You lunatic! You're even crueler than us!"
"Ahhhh!"
Hearing Jack's words, the four of them broke down. Even the audience in the live broadcast room was deeply shocked.
"Amazing! The judge still has a trick up his sleeve. This trick is really ruthless! I like it!"
"I like it too! How many tricks does the judge have up his sleeve! Will he ever run out of them?"
"Looks like these four people can be used to make hamburgers soon."
"Those who are blood-sick, timid, and have heart disease, hurry up and turn off the live broadcast room. The next scene will be very scary!"
Meanwhile, Ross's lips trembled as he said, "So this is what the Death Judge meant when he said that they will disappear from the world forever."
"I told you, these people are definitely going to die," Judy said as she continued to watch the live broadcast on the big screen.
In the live broadcast room, Gardner, who had a broken face, suddenly got up and rushed to the front of the coffin. He used all his strength and ruthlessly kicked it.
Bang!
The crystal coffin did not move at all.
In the Crystal Coffin, Kanasan's corpse was separated from the thick lid of the coffin and seemed to be staring straight at him. There seemed to be a trace of mockery on her frozen face.
Gardner snorted with a bitter smile on his face. He felt that he should be laughed at. In the beginning, no one wanted to enter the crystal coffin, but now it had become the safest place in the room. It was really ironic.
Ajay and the others took a look at Gardner and understood what Gardner meant. In an instant, they all wanted to come up.
"Quick! Smash it open!"
"Smash it together!"
Bang Bang Bang!
They smashed and kicked with their hands, using all their strength. However, the crystal coffin was obviously reinforced by Jack. It was impossible to open it with the brute force of four people.
Huff huff...
The four people panted and stared at the crystal coffin with bloodshot eyes. They watched as the crystal coffin slowly sank into the ground with the rotation of the gears. However, they could do nothing about it.
They looked up at the thick iron walls on both sides. The distance between them was less than two meters.
"No, no, no! Don't! Don't!" Ajay rushed over and pushed the moving heavy iron wall with force, trying to stop the moving iron wall.
Seeing this scene, Madeleine, Weston, and Gardner also rushed over. They pushed their hands against the heavy iron wall and pressed their feet against the ground with all their strength.
"Push harder!"
"Push harder! Did you push harder or not!"
The four of them shouted, but no matter how hard they tried, the thick iron wall continued to slowly push forward along its original trajectory.
"The distance is less than 1.5 meters!"
"F*ck! Push! Push Harder!"
The four of them opened their arms and used the strength of their shoulders to push against the thick iron wall on both sides.
But in the next second...
Kacha!
Kacha!
Two sounds could be heard.
The arms of Ajay and Gardner were easily broken like paper straws.
This was a close-up of the scene. The angle of the camera clearly showed their flesh exploding. The blood dripping from the bones pierced out and fresh blood spurted out.
"Ah! Ah!"
Chapter 84: The Art of Flesh and Blood
The heavy iron wall were still advancing mercilessly.
It's only 50 centimeters apart.
Ka-chow!
Ka-chow!
Ka-chow!
The sound of bones breaking could be heard through the broadcast, and blood mixed with bone fragments splashed out.
The four people had perfectly explained how weak and fragile the human body was.
The sound of every breaking bone was even more audible because the room was sealed.
"Ah! Help! Help me!"
"My leg! My leg is broken! Ah ah ah! Please stop! Please, stop. I was wrong!"
"Please, Death Judge, let me go. I can give you all my assets!"
"F*ck! It hurts so much! Ah ah ah!"
The four of them wailed mournfully. Their arms, thighs, and shoulders were torn, and their bones were broken. Fresh blood poured down like rain, flowing into the crystal coffin that was lit up.
"F*ck! There's so much blood!"
"We can use it to make a hamburger right away."
"Are you that hungry? How can you think of food in such a situation?"
"It's too wasteful. I suggest the judge remove their organs and drain their blood for those who need it, just like what they did to those homeless people!"
"Even I find it dirty. Even if they gave it to me, I wouldn't dare to use their organs and blood. Who knows, their genes might have a violent gene. Whoever comes in touch with it will surely become a murderer!"
The audience in the live broadcast room kept sending bullet messages. Tens of thousands of bullet messages popped up every second, directly covering up the scene in the live broadcast room. It was like a white screen. The timid people hoped that it would be so. After all, the scene in the live broadcast room was too terrifying and horrifying to watch.
The distance between them was only 20 centimeters.
Bang!
The lampshade on the roof let out a loud sound. It was directly crushed by the wall that was squeezed from both sides. However, the lamp was not crushed. It was still emitting a dim light. Under the illumination of the light, only four people could be seen being squeezed in the middle, and blood was still dripping non-stop. There were a few bones in each person's body that pierced through their skin and flesh. They were like firewood that had been randomly stacked together. However, the four people did not scream anymore. They did not have the strength to make a sound. Only the faint sound of labored breathing could be heard.
There was still a distance of ten centimeters between them.
Bang!
The light bulb above was also crushed by the pressure, and the light instantly dimmed.
The only source of light left was the light inside the crystal coffin. However, the crystal coffin was now covered with a thick layer of blood. The bottom had already solidified, and the top layer of blood was still flowing. From time to time, flesh and skin would continue to fall from the top of the corpse. Therefore, under the cover of blood and flesh, the bright light became blood red. It was as if the entire narrow space was bleeding. Under this kind of light, the four of them could no longer tell where the blood was and where the flesh was. It was as if it was sealed in red amber, like a strange, mysterious, and crazy work of art created by a crazy artist.
One centimeter apart...
Bang!
The last ray of light disappeared, and the entire scene in the live broadcast room darkened.
"F*ck! This is too scary!"
"They died so miserably! Their deaths are probably the most miserable!"
"They were indeed miserable! They were directly turned into minced meat paste!"
"I don't know if it was the most painful, but this will be a challenge for the police! An autopsy cannot be conducted on those bodies!"
"Those people deserved to die like that!"
"That's right! Those scumbags are only worthy of death under such torture!"
Just as the audience in the live broadcast room was shocked and discussing this horrifying scene...
Kacha!
Weng weng weng!
A sound was heard.
The thick and heavy iron wall suddenly opened slowly. Under the dim light, the room was in ruins. Gardner and the other three had completely disappeared.
Then, the crystal coffin made a sound and slowly rose up. The bones, broken flesh, and frozen blood on it slid down one after another. Soon, Kanasan's body was revealed. Under the protection of the Crystal Coffin, it was still intact.
"What is the judge doing? Is she going to be resurrected?"
"What are you thinking? No matter how powerful the judge is, he is not a god! How can he resurrect the dead?"
"Oh right, where is the bomb collar on Gardner's neck? Was it crushed? Why didn't I hear the explosion?"
"If it was crushed, it could have been detonated, right?"
Just as the audience was discussing again.
Bang!
A loud explosion was heard. Kanasan's neck was instantly broken by the explosion. However, her blood had long been drained. There wasn't much blood. Only countless pieces of bright red flesh mixed with bone fragments were splashed onto the crystal coffin. Then, the politician's head fell down and rolled to the bottom of the crystal coffin. Her two widened eyes happened to look through the gaps of her messy hair. The scene was very eerie.
"F*ck! I was scared to death!"
"When I suddenly saw this, I was so scared that I almost fell off my chair!"
"So what if I fell off my chair? I was so scared that I almost peed!"
"She really looks like a female ghost in a horror movie!"
"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter. There was actually someone who was so scared that she peed! But it was indeed very scary. It was too scary!"
"I feel like the judge has the potential to be a horror movie director. This scene was really scary!"
"This scene is better than many other horror movies!"
Jack looked at the bullet messages sent by the audience and then looked at the scene of death. It was bloody, violent, and had a hint of artistry. This was a near-perfect execution. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
"Today's death trial ends here. Let's meet again next time. Thank you for watching."
As Jack finished speaking, the screen disappeared, and the live broadcast was closed.
—
"This death trial has ended. The verdict has been successful."
"The difficulty level of this death trial is being reviewed."
"The review has been completed. The difficulty level of this death trial is excellent 1."
"Reward: 2,100 trial points. Unlock scenario: None. One death gift bag obtained."
"The reward for this livestream is 7,768 dollars."
—
Jack heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the excellent evaluation. He nodded his head in satisfaction. His wish had been fulfilled.
It was really not easy to obtain an excellent evaluation.
"Oh right, what is in the gift bag? This is the first time I've obtained it."
Jack quickly opened the grand gift bag.
—
"Stun card x 10"
"Soundproof card x 10"
"Lighting and sound effects composite card x 10"
"Scene experience card x 1"
—
Jack nodded slightly. He was quite satisfied with this grand gift bag, especially with a scene experience card. The next time he used a scene, he would not need to spend any judgment points. In addition, there were five lighting and sound effects composite cards. In his past live broadcasts, he only used a simple light card and didn't use sound effects. If he used sound effects to enhance the atmosphere next time, then his live broadcast would really be comparable to a horror movie. He felt like he could even sell tickets to those who want to watch it.
Jack was in a good mood. He turned, and his gaze suddenly fell on the table.

Chapter 85: The Old Wizard's Prophecy
There was a stack of bills on the table, and there were a few tens and one-dollar bills on it.
All the bills looked new.
"They were actually directly exchanged for cash."
Jack looked at the bills in front of him and felt that they were somewhat magical. He picked them up and lightly shook them.
Whoosh!
The sound was very pleasant to the ear.
It was more than seven thousand dollars, and it was more than what he had earned in the last few months in his job.
Jack was very satisfied with the live broadcast this time. He had received excellent reviews, and he had also received the gift bag of death. He had also received the most commission. In short, it was a huge harvest.
In a remote mountain village in northern Canada, a man in his fifties was squatting outside the room like a vulture, smoking a pipe. His eyes were gloomy, and his face was as cold as the ice and snow around him.
"Master Wilcox, the live broadcast has ended. I'll go home first."
Next to the man stood a boy who looked about eighteen years old, holding a phone in his hand. Looking at Wilcox's face, his body trembled in fear.
His intuition told him that Wilcox's eyes had murderous intent. Although he looked calm, he was definitely in a state of extreme anger.
The boy then left. The man was like a statue.
There was a gray wolf tied to the corner of the house. At this moment, the wolf's fur stood up. Its sharp front claws were deeply embedded in the frozen soil. It was looking at its master with its head slightly lowered. Its eyes were shining like sharp knives.
That afternoon, the quiet village was unusually restless.
"Wilcox's son was killed in that live broadcast."
"That's too cruel. I heard that he was crushed into minced meat!"
"I think he deserved it. He killed so many people. How miserable are those people? He even ate human flesh. He's not human at all!"
"Yeah! How can there be such a person in our village? He's even worse than an animal!"
"It's just that Wilcox is pitiful. He's already so old and has nurtured the only college student in the entire village. His own son had become a murderer. His wife is dead, and his son is dead too. He's the only one left."
The small village became lively. There were all sorts of things to say.
Wu wu wu!
Gray Wolf, who was at the corner of the wall, let out a low growl.
A man with a gloomy face walked in. There was a long vertical scar on his left face, as if someone had cut him with a knife. It was very frightening.
The man looked at the gray wolf coldly. The gray wolf immediately lowered its head and buried it in its stomach. The growl also disappeared.
"Wilcox, about Gardner. I already know. It's fine that he killed people, but he still ate human flesh. He even attacked children. He had no humanity. I say that he really deserves to die."
Wilcox spat out a mouthful of thick smoke and stood up. Instantly, the gray wolf in the corner of the wall fell to the ground. Its sharp, knife-like eyes instantly became very gentle.
"You're right. He killed someone. He deserved to die, but the Death Inquisitor has also killed my son. I want him to pay with his life."
"But that Death Inquisitor is very powerful. The police haven't caught him for a long time."
"He is indeed very powerful, but don't forget who I am."
"Of course. I know what you're capable of. You held a knife back then and single-handedly killed seventeen enemies. Your waist was covered with human heads. I can still see this scene today, but you know what happened to your son was different. You don't understand how powerful the Death Inquisitor is. The police have no clues at all. You don't even know what he looks like or where he is. How can you fight with him?"
"That's my business. It has nothing to do with you. That wizard once told me that my son's soul was very bloody and cruel. He asked me to teach him a hard lesson. He told me I can't let him leave the village until he's twenty years old. Otherwise, he'll die a horrible death. I didn't believe it at that time. I dug out one of the wizard's eyes and scolded him for not being able to see clearly. I didn't expect him to be right. Now, I'm alone. I have nothing left to lose. I'll go find him alone. You can go back." After saying that, Wilcox turned around and entered the house.
The man in the courtyard stood like a stone pillar.
Pa!
The man lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. He also knew about the incident with the wizard back then, because in the end, he was the one who sent the old wizard away. Before the old wizard left, he said something that Wilcox didn't know about.
"There are people at the southeast coast who will end his family."
"Isn't New York at the southeast coast?"
"This..."
Wilcox quickly packed up his things. He didn't bring too many things. He only brought some personal belongings and a black dagger.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"You saved my life before. I'll go with you this time."
Wilcox saw that he had made up his mind and did not stop him. He nodded and said, "I'll wait for you at the village entrance in five minutes."
Zangwei turned and left. Wilcox walked to the corner of the wall and reached out to touch the gray wolf. Then, he untied the chain around its neck.
"You should go. The gray wolf shouldn't be kept in captivity. You're a natural killer, not a watchdog. You should follow your nature and go hunt."
Five minutes later, Wilcox and Zangwei began their journey to New York.
At that moment, the weather in New York seemed to have darkened.
Meanwhile, at the office of Task Force Zero at the New York police station...
Their moods were very complicated.
Willie had also returned. Looking at Ross's lowered head, he knew the result without asking.
Ever since Task Force Zero was put up and every time the Death Inquisitor ended a live broadcast, everyone's expression was basically like this. They were almost used to it.
"You're back. How are things on Your side?" Ross asked faintly.
"It's already locked down. In addition, I've already sent people to search Gardner's residence and found another child. However, he didn't die and has already been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment," Willy said.
"Very good. Finally, there's good news." Ross nodded, but his entire person appeared very weak.
"There's one more thing. The scene of Adalind's death has been found. It was in the basement of Gardner's residence."
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Anthony said in a low voice, "How is that possible? Didn't the people upstairs hear anything at all? Have you checked the surveillance cameras over there? How did those props get in? Could it be that no one found them?"

Chapter 86: Look Into the Banking Flow Charts
"Our people have asked. The security guard said that he didn't find anything unusual recently, and the surveillance cameras in that building were always broken, so he stopped fixing it later."
"It's normal that it's broken, and it's very likely that Gardner and the others broke it so that they wouldn't be discovered. How could he allow a camera to record his activities all day long? But the Death Judge took advantage of this. We can be sure that the Death Judge used a soundproofing material," Ross said.
"I agree."
"Then what would it be?"
"What kind of device could achieve this effect? The last time it was in an abandoned warehouse near the downtown area, but no one heard it."
"Could it be soundproof vacuum glass?"
While everyone was guessing, Judy, who had been tapping on the keyboard non-stop, tapped on the enter key with her slender fingers.
"Done!"
Looking at the data on the computer being pulled into a folder, Judy smiled and said, "Guess what I just completed."
"You located the scene of the death?"
"You have cracked the firewall and found the Death Inquisitor?"
Judy sighed and rolled her eyes, saying, "No, but I have locked all the bank streams from the broadcast room."
"That's great, Judy. You did a great job. First, we have to compare all the people we've come into contact with since we accepted the case. If someone's name appears in the bank's stream accounts, remember him, and it's very likely that he's the death judge."
Ross's originally gloomy mood suddenly soared. He felt that he was infinitely close to the truth, and his blood boiled again.
...
After the live broadcast ended, the police had promptly banned the videos and content related to the live broadcast of death, but everyone was still talking about it. After all, during the live broadcast, the number of people watching online had once exceeded 50 million people.
Therefore, on this somewhat hot and boring afternoon, everyone was still constantly talking about the live broadcast of death. It was a trending topic.
"This live broadcast is very exciting. I wonder when the Death Judge will broadcast again."
"Yeah, after watching it, I feel a sense of loss. There are so many bad people in this world. I wonder how long it will be until the Death Judge gets caught and is sentenced to death. I hope he can execute more people before he gets caught."
"What do you think the Death Judge looks like? is he the kind of person who looks very fierce and murderous?"
"That's hard to say. Maybe he's a taxi driver, a cashier, a teacher, or someone close to us. Maybe it's me."
"Hahaha! Stop dreaming. With your IQ, you can't be the Death Inquisitor!"
"What are you laughing at? What's wrong with my IQ?"
Everyone was so busy making theories about the identity of the Death Judge.
After the live broadcast, the reputation of New York City Hospital was heavily tarnished. Gardner had almost destroyed half of the hospital, and many patients who were confined were shouting, asking to be discharged.
Therefore, the hospital's board of directors immediately held a meeting. After a discussion, while the doctors and nurses comforted the patients, they waived some of the patients' routine fees, and they decided that they would implement a transparent supervision system for all medical staff.
After this series of reform measures were implemented, the news came out.
—
"Gardner's Death Pushed Forward the American Healthcare Reform."
—
The original headline of the news was "Death Judge: The Man Who Pushed Forward the American Healthcare Reform." However, due to the great pressure from the higher-ups, any news about the Death Judge was suppressed. Hence, they only vaguely mentioned the death judge. However, everyone understood just by looking at the comments on the news. They knew everything. If it hadn't been for the Death Judge, Gardner's criminal acts wouldn't have been discovered.
"The anchor is amazing. I'm just wondering, will the anchor also be blocked?"
"It's also hard on the news editor. Today, I won't scold you for publishing fake news."
"I'm really looking forward to the next episode. I wonder what kind of scum it will be. Will they attack the government? When it comes to doing bad things, they are the most ruthless. A simple policy can affect the lives of countless poor people."
"The boss of our city's gang says that the Death Judge cannot touch him. That the judge is not capable of anything."
"Hey, the one in comment above, you mentioned that word and it's about to be deleted. Also, the host just called me and said that the next episode will be the boss of the gang."
Jack flipped through the news on his phone.
Spring gradually passed into summer, and the temperature rose. It was very easy for people to fall asleep. After watching for a while, Jack's eyes became a little tired. He yawned and lay down on the bed. His eyes looked at the clothes hanging on the clothes rack. They were all the clothes he wore in winter, most of the people outside had already put on short-sleeved shorts, but he had not prepared any summer clothes. If he wore the clothes he wore now, he would definitely attract the attention of passersby. However, the fewer gazes that stayed on him, the better.
Thinking of this, Jack sat up, picked up the 7,000-ODD banknotes on the table, and left the apartment.
The sun was shining bright outside, and most of the girls on the road had their fair legs exposed.
Jack walked on the road, his face cold and his eyes focused. He walked straight to a clothing store not far away.
Initially, Jack thought that it would be easy to buy a few pieces of summer clothes, but he realized that he was still thinking too simply. Most of the clothes on the wall and on the clothes rack were very fancy, and it was really troublesome to choose them.
'No wonder a woman can shop for an entire afternoon,' Jack thought to himself. He walked around the mall for nearly an hour, and then he was ready to leave.
Just as he was about to change to another mall, a clothing store entered his sight.
The female clerk who received him wore tight jeans and a white t-shirt. She looked very warm and beautiful.
After she introduced a few styles, Jack chose a few simple T-shirts, two pairs of black slacks, and a pair of black sneakers. He didn't even try them on. He took the size he usually wore and paid directly.
When the neat bills were taken out and stacked up, the salesgirls were immediately shocked.
"I've never seen someone so happy about buying things. He didn't even try them on and just paid directly."
"Don't you think he's very handsome?"
"Not only is he handsome, but his temperament is also very cool!"
"Could it be that he just came here to show off? Did he take a fancy to that girl in the shop?"
"With my many years of experience, he's not showing off. His temperament is just like that. If he took a fancy to that little girl in our shop, would he need to resort to such means? Who could refuse such a man?"

Chapter 87: The New Conductor
He had spent a total of 4,800 dollars. Jack nodded. In the past, he was so conscious about spending large amounts of money. But now, it was different. He could easily earn so much just by opening a death broadcast. Of course, he still tried to keep expenses at a minimum especially when the prize was low.
Jack looked at the money in his hand. His gaze focused and he cut out a stack.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The cash counter was activated. 4,800 was just right. Not a single note was too much, not a single note was too little. This time, even the cashier was shocked.
At this time, the saleswoman had just packed up the clothes and shoes Jack bought. She held them in both hands and waited for Jack to pay before she walked up.
"Can I take a photo with you?"
The saleswoman on the other side had already held her phone in her hand and was waiting to take the photo.
Jack was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that all eyes were locked on him. He had unintentionally used his temperament to conquer these girls.
The more Jack did not like to be noticed, the more he realized that he was the focus of everyone's attention.
Jack took the item over. His expression did not change as he said in a cold voice, "I'm sorry."
After saying that, he left.
The female shop assistant blushed. She thought that she was very beautiful and had rejected many handsome men's invitations before. She did not expect to be rejected this time as well. The other party only left a cold back view.
"This guy is too cool!"
"Don't be sad. Let me hug you. There will be other handsome men," said the other saleslady.
After leaving the mall, because he had bought too many things, Jack called a taxi. While listening to the song, he scrolled through the news on his phone.
Jack was simply enjoying the afternoon leisurely.
In the New York Police Department, meanwhile...
Everyone was covered in a layer of shadow again.
"The Death Judge is not on this list at all," Judy said.
"What's going on?" Ross asked with a frown.
Judy said, "This list is a trap. I just made a simple plea for peace. There are 7768 names missing. The list we got was a trap set by him to lure us in."
"What about the 7000 dollars? Can we find out where it went?"
"No, it's like it evaporated from the bank vault."
Ross gritted his teeth. Once again, he was infinitely close to the truth, and once again, the truth burst in front of him like a bubble.
"Bastard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of Task Force Zero's office was pushed open, and a person walked in.
The faces of Ross and the others suddenly became gloomy.
Not anyone coukd just walk into the police station, except for Chief Superintendent Terrence.
The man was about 1.75 meters tall and was in his thirties. He had a well-proportioned build and very short blonde hair. His expression was cold, and his eyes were like an eagle's. His aura was very strong.
"You may not know me, but I know you. You are the ones who have brought shame to the New York Police Department, to all the police officers in the United States, and to the government. You are the ones who have brought danger and unease to New York."
The man snorted and continued, "From now on, I will be in charge of Task Force Zero. I will be in charge of everyone. Do you understand?"
Suddenly, the mysterious man barged into the office and gave this haughty order. They had ugly expressions on their faces. Perhaps Ross could still hold his temper, but the hot-tempered Willie could not.
"Who the f*ck are you? Who gave you the authority to command us? What qualifications do you have?"
The man took out his ID and said coldly, "Look carefully. My name is Loggins. I am the head of the FBI's Special Homicide Investigation Team. From now on, the Zero Special Task Force will be renamed as the Zero Major Crimes Team, and the FBI will directly command it."
Hiss!
They sucked in a breath of cold air.
Ross and Anthony were skeptical. They had to re-examine the identity of this Loggins.
They had once yearned to join the FBI's Special Homicide Investigation Unit, but Terrence valued the two of them so much that he would not let them go. As a result, they were unable to join the FBI's Special Homicide Investigation Unit.
It was said that the people in the special homicide investigation unit were all experts, but it was also the department with the highest casualty rate in the entire system. It was even called the death investigation unit.
And this Loggins in front of them was a hero, of whom they had heard a lot of legendary stories.
One of them said that when he was investigating a skinning murder case, he wore a piece of human skin that the suspect had peeled off on his body. He wore it for three whole days. When he took it off, the human skin had already rotted on his body.
No wonder he was so imposing.
Soon, Terrence also came. Loggins glanced at him, his expression still very cold.
"Chief Terrence, I'll put the things down first. I'll leave this to you. If anyone wants to quit, you can quit now."
After saying that, Loggins turned around and left.
As soon as he left, the people in the office immediately began to discuss.
"So fierce! I was scared. I think he thinks he's better than the Death Inquisitor! He pretends to be a man!" Judy snorted and patted her tall chest. Apparently, she was very dissatisfied with this new commander.
"I don't know if he can still act like a man when he meets the Death Inquisitor," Hart said lightly.
Bowman said seriously, "First of all, he's definitely a man, but I see that his nose is small and his face is not in good condition. On my experience, I can tell his characteristics. He does not look masculine. He only has ten centimeters of pride. He won't last more than three minutes in front of the Death Judge."
When Monica heard Bowman's words, she directly spat out a mouthful of coffee.
Judy smiled and asked, "Bowman, what experience do you have over the years? You seem to have a lot of stories."
Bowman said helplessly, "What are you talking about? Of course it's my many years of anatomical experience. I'm straight."
"Enough! Don't talk nonsense here. This time, seven more people died, and four of them became minced meat. The influence was very bad. The higher-ups are taking the Death Inquisitor very seriously, so they sent Loggins here, hoping to solve the case and catch the Death Inquisitor as soon as possible. In fact, it's better that he's here. In this way, you only need to cooperate with him seriously. The rest of the matter will be left to him to handle. If anything happens, he'll be responsible. Even I, the Chief Superintendent of the Bureau, don't have the right to control him. So you only need to follow her orders and solve the case as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!" everyone replied.
Soon, night arrived. Jack changed into a new set of clothes and looked at himself in the mirror. The corners of his mouth rose slightly and a smile appeared on his face.
He touched the money in his pocket, took the keys, and was about to go downstairs to eat.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Chapter 88: Corpses in a Busy City
Jack opened the door. It was Aisha.
"I went to the Empire State Building to look for you. Thompson said that you resigned, so I came here. I hope I didn't disturb you," Aisha whispered with her head slightly lowered, like a child who had done something wrong.
Jack didn't want to attract too much attention, but it was impossible for him to be completely alone. If he really was completely alone and didn't have any interpersonal relationships, he would be a weirdo in the eyes of others, which would attract even more attention.
"Well, the job at the Empire State Building is too boring. I'm going to change to another job." After saying that, Jack closed the door.
"I'm going out for dinner. Do you want to come?"
"Of course!" Aisha caught up and raised her head to ask, "Do you want me to introduce you to a new job?"
"You can introduce me to a job?"
"Of course, it's definitely more than what you earn at the Empire State Building!"
"What job?"
"Nightclub security. It pays 8,000 dollars a month."
Jack frowned slightly. If he was looking for a target inside, it would be very easy for the police to find their common ground. If that was the case, it would be very easy to expose himself. He absolutely could not let himself become that kind of person. Wherever he went, death would follow, and that's something the police should never figure out.
"You are so young, why are you still—"
"Don't think too much. That nightclub is run by my mother. She has been recruiting people recently."
Jack nodded and did not say anything else. He did not refuse or accept.
The two of them went downstairs and walked along the sidewalk. They went south and crossed two streets. When they walked further, they only heard someone shouting.
"Murder! Murder!"
"How cruel! It's too scary!"
"Who did it! Quickly post it on the Internet and petition the Death Inquisitor to act on it! "
"That's right! Ask the Inquisitor to catch the suspect! "
"I say we call the police first!"
Jack frowned. He only saw that there was a circle of people in front of him, and all the cars on the road were blocked.
"Let's go and take a look."
Jack quickened his pace. Aisha's face was pale as she grabbed the corner of Jack's shirt.
At that time, the police had not yet arrived at the scene.
Jack squeezed through with Aisha. Before they could enter, they could smell a strong smell of blood.
"F*ck!"
Jack did not need to look to know that the scene of death must be very cruel and bloody.
A little further, Jack saw a small car in his field of vision. At this time, the two doors of the car in front were open. The head of the deceased was missing and blood was still flowing from the neck. However, judging from the figure, he could tell that the victim was a woman. Moreover, the skin on her face had been cut off and stuck to the windshield of the car. There were words written in blood on it.
The Death Inquisitor!
Jack took a look and his eyes suddenly shrank. He knew that woman. She was the woman from the clothing store yesterday. She had not spoken to him, but he could not be mistaken.
"Don't look."
Seeing that Aisha was also stretching out her head to look, Jack reached out and covered her big eyes.
The strong and bloody visual impact shocked everyone's brains.
Some people even vomited on the spot the moment they saw it.
But soon, the ignored bloody words were still discovered by others.
"Look, the Death Inquisitor! It was the Death Inquisitor who killed her!"
"If that's the case, this woman definitely deserves to die! Maybe it was some rich man's lover who killed someone else's wife!"
"That's right! Since it was the Death Inquisitor who killed her, then it must be true. This woman definitely deserves to die!"
"Bah!"
While everyone was talking, someone even began to spit on the car.
Jack watched coldly from behind the crowd without saying a word. He only needed three seconds to memorize everything within the range of his eyes. He remembered even the smallest details.
The control panel of the car was covered in blood. There was a small human bone on it. From the thickness and curvature of the bone, Jack could determine that it was a human skull.
"This skull should be the skull of the deceased. Could it be that the head of the deceased was smashed?"
Thinking of this, Jack turned to the left side of the car and looked through the open door. He only saw that the driver's seat was covered in blood. It was broken. He still had a few pieces of broken bones, which were also skulls.
Jack frowned. At this time, the police came and quickly set up a cordon. Then, the recording staff began to take photos of every detail and investigate the scene. Then, two forensic doctors went on stage, when one of them opened the storage box of the passenger seat.
Whoosh!
A stream of flesh and blood poured down from inside. Eyeballs, minced meat, bone fragments, and hair were completely mixed together. There was also some white thick material mixed in the middle.
Without thinking, it was obvious that the white thick matter was brain matter.
"F*ck! This murderer is too cruel!"
The forensic doctor wearing a mask immediately cursed.
The surrounding people were even scared to the point of screaming. There were even children who were so scared that they started crying.
"F*ck! Her head was directly shattered!"
"This woman died really miserably! Her head was smashed!"
"Let's go! It's too scary! My son was so scared that he cried!"
"Are you stupid? How dare you let a child see such a scene?"
The crowd began to discuss again. Many of them chose to leave. Those who were braver chose to take out their phones to take photos.
Jack quietly watched for a while. He saw that the recording staff and the medical examiner did not find any possible murder weapon, nor did they find a card like a death notice. Therefore, Jack took Aisha and left. During this time, Aisha's eyes were covered by him, but she could smell the strong smell of blood and hear the discussions of the people around her. If it were any other time, she might have been afraid, but at that moment, she was very calm, because the pair of big hands in front of her gave her a special sense of security.
"I heard someone say that the Death Inquisitor killed her?" she muttered.
Jack said calmly, "Who knows? The words 'Death Inquisitor' are written on the windshield, but it doesn't mean that it was done by the Death Inquisitor."
"Well, it sounds more like a frame-up to me!"
"Don't worry about it. These matters will be handled by the police. Let's go eat."
"You've seen the scene of the death. Can you still eat now? I heard the people around me talking about it, so I know it was disgusting!"
"It's okay. I eat bland food." Jack nodded.
After eating a little, he said goodbye to Elsa and returned to the scene of death. The car and the body had been moved away, but the bright-red blood on the ground was still there.
Jack walked from south to north. It seemed like he was walking randomly, no different from the pedestrians around him. However, this time, he especially observed the traces on the ground and the surrounding environment. He found many problems. He already had a complete and clear image in his mind of the entire crime scene, including what was happening in the surrounding surveillance cameras.

Chapter 89: Declaration of War
The news of the dead on the streets of a busy city quickly spread on the Internet. One of the biggest reasons was that the scene of the death was too tragic, and another reason was that it was related to the Death Judge.
"The Death Judge made a move again. This time, he killed people on the streets!"
"Really? Why isn't there a live broadcast this time?"
"It must be fake. Didn't the Inquisitor broadcast it in the afternoon? Why did it start again at night? It's too frequent."
"Who knows? Anyway, I heard that the words 'Death Inquisitor' were written on the windshield."
"Hehe! Do you still have some IQ? No matter how I look at it, I feel like it's framing the Inquisitor. To think that there are still people who believe it!"
As the incident was exposed, the identity of the deceased was quickly revealed. However, the deceased did not commit any cruel crimes. She was just an ordinary girl. This caused another wave of discussion among the crowd.
"The girl who died was a good friend of mine. I swear on my life that she is definitely a good girl. She has never committed anything bad. Whether it was the Death Inquisitor or anyone else, the murderer must pay the price with his life!"
"She was still selling clothes in the mall on the afternoon of the day of her death. That night, she died on the streets. What's wrong with our laws?"
"Those who say that the victim is not a good person, why don't you all go and die! Even if she is already dead, you can't ruin her reputation and tarnish her name!"
"The Death Inquisitor is a perverted murderer!"
"Hey you, commenter on top, are you an idiot? Do you know for sure that she was killed by the Death Inquisitor? Did someone sleep with your wife and then write the Death Inquisitor on her body? Are you going to look for the Death Inquisitor too?"
All of a sudden, all kinds of opinions appeared on the Internet. Some people thought that the Death Inquisitor was the one who killed her, while others thought that the crime was meant to frame the Death Inquisitor. Everyone on the Internet was calling out the police for their inability to capture the suspect.
At that time, Jack, who had already returned to his apartment, lit a cigarette.
In the darkness, the light of the cigarette butt grew brighter and then faded.
What Jack did not expect was that so many people were still clear-headed and not all of them were confused. Jack was a little surprised about this.
However, in his opinion, the suspect was not framing him. The suspect probably doesn't care. Otherwise, whoever was responsible could have made a similar death notice and left it in the car.
In Jack's opinion, the murderer committed this case with only one purpose, which was to convey a message to Jack.
"I'm coming."
Yes, it was such a simple sentence.
The fact that "Death Inquistor" was written in blood on the windshield stirred people's heads. It was some kind of self-marking.
But there was another meaning behind it.
Whoever did it was declaring war!
Because of the blood on the windshield, this case naturally fell under the investigation of the Zero Major Crimes Team.
"Through the investigation and appraisal of the scene of death, there are currently no handprints, footprints, teeth marks, bullet marks, tool marks, and the like. The murderer is very cunning. The location chosen is also a blind spot for surveillance. Moreover, one of the key surveillance cameras for road surveillance is broken. It can be seen that the murderer has a very strong anti-detection ability."
"This is very similar to the Death Inquisitor, but judging from the traces we found at the scene of death recently, it seems to be different from the Death Inquisitor's scenes because it's too clean. The Death Inquisitor's previous crime scenes were not spotless. There were some traces left behind. Even though they are all useless clues, this is enough to prove that there is a huge disparity between their ways."
Hart finished his analysis and closed the folder.
Judy frowned and said, "Are you saying the opposite? Shouldn't the murderer be more brilliant than the Death Inquisitor?"
"You're wrong. Although it's very impressive to be able to erase all traces of the scene, it's more complicated to be able to leave some useless clues. Obviously, the Death Inquisitor is much more brilliant!" Hart's mouth twitched slightly.
"Oh, I see."
Bowman also nodded and said, "The examination on my side showed that the time of death of the deceased should be between 6:00 and 6:30. The time of discovery was 7:00. We can conclude that the scene of death is not the first scene of death. In addition, through the identification of the skull and skin tissue, there are obvious contusions and bruises on both sides of the skull. The cause of death of the deceased is consistent with the skull fracture under the pincer attack. In other words, the head of the deceased was most likely crushed by the killer. However, the mechanical structure of the human skull can be said to be close to perfection. A fresh adult skull has a very strong resistance to compression. In theory, it would be more than 3,000 newtons. Therefore, to crush a head, it would probably require some tools. However, no such tools were found at the scene. This also means that the scene of death that we found is not the first scene of death."
After listening to their reports, Ross spoke with a pensive look. "Obviously, this does not match the style of the Death Judge. There is no death notice and no live broadcast of the death. The body is not at the scene of the first death. The difference is too big. This should be someone deliberately imitating the Death Judge."
Ross paused as he suddenly thought of something. "No! This is not imitating, this is a challenge!"
"That's right! This is a challenge, a signal to declare war on the Death Inquisitor," Monica said.
Willie, who was at the side, was surprised.
He actually dared to declare war on the Death Inquisitor? Is there something wrong with his brain?
It was shocking because it was as though a normal person was actually declaring war against an undefeatable enemy!
Loggins, who had been silent all this time, swept his cold gaze across everyone, and then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a strange smile. It seemed to be a kind of ridicule, but also seemed to be a kind of appreciation, which people could not understand.
"Your analysis is not too bad, not too bad. Why did you spend so much effort to capture a Death Inquisitor?"
'F*ck! You dare to say such words! Now pretend you're at one of the Death Inquisitor's crime scenes! You will surely be in despair!' the others thought.
No one spoke, but no one thought highly of him.
'You think you can deal with the Death Inquisitor?'
Looking at the reactions of the people, Loggins could tell what they were thinking at a glance. He just pretended not to know.
"All right. This case, whether it was done by the Death Inquisitor or not, will be treated and handled as though it was done by the Death Inquisitor. Later, we'll hold a press conference to report the case and say that it was done by the Death Inquisitor."
"It's not very good to deceive the people by doing this," said Ross.
Loggins snorted and said, "We have to use a different method to deal with him. What he has done requires the support of the people. If the people oppose him, he will definitely fail!"
Ross's face became very solemn. In his eyes, this Loggins was simply courting death by provoking the Death Inquisitor. It was very dangerous to do so!

Chapter 90: Public Denunciation
Loggins knew what the others were thinking, but he didn't care. He continued, "In addition, since the murderer is coming for the Death Inquisitor, NIU, let's immediately check the background of the recent victims, especially the seven people who just died today. If there are any clues, don't alert the other party. All we need to do is wait."
"What about the victims?" Willy asked.
"We can put it aside for the time being. There won't be any breakthrough. The murderer's target is the Death Inquisitor. The deceased was just used by the murderer to deliver the message for him. The murderer didn't specifically choose the target. He just suddenly wanted to kill and randomly found the target. Also, temporarily remove the blocking of the Death Inquisitor and other related words, so that the people can say whatever they want."
Ross and Monica looked at each other, and the two of them nodded slightly.
They had the same thoughts in their hearts.
This Loggins was too crazy and too scary.
At nine o'clock that evening, Zero Major Crimes Team held a press conference. Loggins personally appeared and reported the case to the news media.
Once the news was released, it immediately shook all of New York.
"It was really the Death Inquisitor who killed the person? I'm really disappointed. He even attacked an innocent ordinary person. Has he gone crazy?"
"He must be addicted to killing people. He couldn't help but kill people randomly."
"Actually, killing people is like taking drugs. To a certain extent, it will be addictive. The Death Inquisitor must have had a killing addiction at that time. He couldn't help but kill passersby."
"If you ask me, it wasn't that he couldn't control himself at all. He was simply a perverted murderer!"
"To think that I like him so much. Now I hate him. I hope the police can catch him quickly!"
"In the past, the young people actually thought that the Death Inquisitor was a righteous person and even scolded the police. Now that something has happened, the police still have to deal with it. I hope the New York Police can do their best to catch the Death Inquisitor as soon as possible!"
"I've said it a long time ago. The Death Inquisitor is an extremely dangerous criminal. At that time, you didn't believe me. Now, an innocent ordinary person has died!"
For a time, the entire Internet was filled with voices denouncing the Death Inquisitor. Many experts had once again jumped out to make statements that slandered him.
The expert Noel, who had once been denounced by the entire nation for criticizing the Death Inquisitor, also jumped out again.
"I've reminded everyone last time that the Death Inquisitor is a cold-blooded perverted killer and an extremely dangerous person. Not only did you not believe me at that time, you even scolded me. Now you see, time will prove who is right. He is a typical killer. The pleasure brought to him by this kind of blood won't last long. He will soon commit a crime again!"
"We were wrong about you last time."
"All right. I admit that you were right this time."
"There's actually an expert who speaks the truth. He's worthy of praise!"
This time was different from the last time when he was denounced by the entire nation. The moment Noel's words were released, he received over 100,000 likes and a large wave of support from the comments.
Meanwhile, in a dark room, Jack's cell phone was ringing with notifications. Almost everything was the same.
—
"Death Inquisitor, Murder on the Streets, The Victim Died a Tragic Death!"
"Brutal and Random Murder, Detestable Death Inquisitor!"
"In the End, He Still Revealed His True Identity. The Dark Enforcers Have Become Perverted Murderers!"
"The Special Homicide Investigation Team Leader Has Arrived In New York, Commanding the Battle!"
—
There were many similar news reports. The Death Inquisitor was too popular, and all the news media and personal accounts wanted to get involved.
Jack glanced at the news on his phone. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
Even the blocking of words related to the Death Inquisitor had been lifted.
He wanted to play a big game.
Jack clicked on the fourth news article. There were a few photos of the press conference. His gaze fell on Loggins, who was sitting in the middle. His body shape, appearance, what he was wearing, and what he was wearing were all recorded.
"This scene is getting more and more interesting. Since you've already made your move, I hope you have the brain power to rival mine," Jack said.
In a hotel room in New York, meanwhile, the curtains were tightly drawn. Zangwei lit a cigarette and grinned.
"These policemen are really stupid. They actually thought that this was done by the Death Inquisitor."
Wilcox exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke, shook his head, and said, "You're wrong. They know that this was not done by the Death Inquisitor. They deliberately released such news to create public opinion and draw out the Death Inquisitor."
"Really? I didn't know that these guys could act so well."
"You've underestimated them. Although they were fooled by the Death Inquisitor, it's the same no matter who it is. It's not that they can't do it, but the Death Inquisitor is too strong. But they did help us. I was worried that the impact of the incident wouldn't be big enough to attract the Death Inquisitor's attention, but in this case, he has no choice but to make a move."
Zangwei laughed, pinched his fingers, and said, "If he dares to come, I will crush his head with my bare hands."
"Don't forget that you once reminded me that the Death Inquisitor is not so easy to deal with. In short, be careful and don't let your guard down!" Wilcox said with a serious face.
"I got it. You go back first. I hope he can find this place as soon as possible."
"He will."
Wilcox got up and left, but he did not walk out of the door. Instead, he jumped out of the window and disappeared.
The reason why Zangwei killed was to catch the big fish, the Death Inquisitor.
But Wilcox had no idea who the other party was, so he did not want to take too big a risk. So Zangwei suggested that he lure him out alone.
Wilcox lived next door. If anything happened, he could immediately support. If there was danger, he could also evacuate safely first, so that they would not both be killed by the Death Inquisitor.
However, in this way, Zangwei became the bait.
The first nervous night quickly passed.
Nothing happened.
However, after a night of fermentation, the Internet became noisier.
Zangwei had not slept the whole night and was waiting for the Death Inquisitor. At that moment, sleepiness welled up in him. His eyelids blinked and sank slightly. He felt a little sore.
"F*ck! D*mn it! You actually made me wait all night for nothing," Zangwei cursed. Then, he turned on his phone and received a lot of push notifications on it. Almost all of them were about the Death Inquisitor.
At that moment, a black shadow moves past his room like a vigorous black cat.
Whoosh!
It entered directly from outside the window. It was Wilcox.

Chapter 91: Being Targeted
He didn't sleep the whole night either. He was waiting for the arrival of the Death Inquisitor.
"This damn Inquisitor is really calm. If I had known earlier, I would have left him some clues," Zangwei said.
Wilcox shook his head and said, "Don't worry. He will find you. Go down and eat something first. When you come back, let's take turns to sleep. You can't keep waiting like this."
At that moment, Zangwei's phone rang and received a message.
"F*ck! I'm almost bored to death by these news articles. I pushed dozens of news about the death inquisitor in one night, and now there's another one. These apps directly deleted it," Zangwei cursed and opened his phone.
But in the next second, his face became serious again.
This time, it wasn't a push of news. This time, he had received a death notice!
—
Death Notice!
Subject: Zangwei
Crime: murder
Executor: Death Inquisitor
Execution Date: May 7, 2021
—
Seeing Zangwei's ugly expression, Wilcox came over. After reading it, his expression froze.
"He made his move. Today is the 7th. He's going to make his move, but there's no movement on my phone. He shouldn't have noticed me yet!" Wilcox was a little excited. He could finally face his opponent head-on.
He finally had an opponent worthy of being taken seriously.
Zangwei's expression was very gloomy. He pinched his fingers and said, "I'm going to sit here today. I don't believe that he can capture me directly."
"Don't go down to eat. Call them to send the things up."
"Okay."
At this moment, in the office of the Zero Major Crimes Department of the New York Police Department...
After a night of investigation, the target was finally "Gardner."
"I went to call the leader of the Canadian Mountain Village. Last night, Gardner's father, Wilcox, left the mountain village. According to the news, Wilcox's identity is very mysterious. According to the people in the mountain village, he used to be a robber. He even raised a gray wolf. When he left yesterday, he let the wolf go. In the end, the wolf bit a villager, and that villager almost died. There was also a man named Zangwei who left with him. They were not originally from the mountain village, but they moved there later."
Ross explained the situation briefly.
Loggins said, "Immediately search the entire New York for these two people. Once you find any clues, report immediately. Don't act on your own. I have a feeling that the Death Inquisitor is about to take action."
"Yes, Sir!"
Loggins glanced at the people around him. After working hard all night, he was very serious. He nodded slightly and said, "All right. Everyone has worked hard. Let's go eat something first. We still have a battle to fight later."
"I'll order the food. What do you guys want to eat?" Judy turned on her phone and was ready to order takeout.
"Give me seafood pizza."
"I want to eat dumplings."
"Do you have spaghetti?"
"I want a hamburger."
Just as the few of them were ordering their food, Loggins' phone rang.
Loggins had been busy all night. He yawned and picked up his phone to take a look. Immediately, his pupils constricted and his gaze was fixed on his phone.

Death Invitation Letter
Invitee: Loggins
Crime: slander, publishing false news
Invitee: Death Judge
Invitation Date: May 7, 2021
—
Ross was the first to notice the change in Loggins' expression. He walked up and looked at his phone. He could not help but break out in cold sweat.
He had once thought of a question. If he was the tortured person in the Death Judge's live broadcast room, would he be able to leave alive?
Now, it was Loggins' turn to answer this question.
"How could this be!"
Just as he finished speaking, the others looked over and surrounded him.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
All that was left was the sound of gasps of cold air.
Everyone was extremely shocked.
He had messed up.
He had really messed up this time.
He had told him not to do such a dangerous thing, but he hadn't listened. Did he think that he could act so pretentiously in front of the Death Inquisitor just because he had a brilliant battle record in the past?
Although Loggins and the others didn't like it, everyone was worried for him.
"No! This isn't a death notice. It's a death invitation letter. It should be different," Monica said after she saw it clearly.
Everyone looked at it carefully. It was indeed a death invitation letter.
"What does this death invitation letter mean?"
"Looking at the line of crimes, slandering and publishing fake news is a lot lighter than murder. I don't think anyone will die, right?"
Listening to everyone's discussion, Loggins took a deep breath. He didn't expect the Death Judge to be so arrogant and confident. Even he, the leader of the Zero Major Crimes Team, which was set up specifically for the Death Judge, dared to make a move.
Then let's give it a try since it's our first meeting.
Since it has already happened, we can only face it.
Everyone in the zero crime squad was tense.
Loggins appeared calm and relaxed. He even felt a trace of excitement. Now he was afraid that the Death Inquisitor wouldn't dare to come. As long as he dared to come, he wouldn't be able to go back.
However, Ross was not as optimistic as him.
He fought with the Death Inquisitor many times, and he knew how terrifying this opponent was!
A person came to the basketball court behind the police station to smoke.
"What's wrong? You seem to have a lot on your mind."
The person who spoke was Monica. Ross glanced at her, took a puff of his cigarette, and said, "I have a bad feeling."
"I have the same feeling," Monica said.
"What's your instinct telling you?" Ross asked.
"I feel that we will lose this time, and we will lose very, very badly!"
Ross exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "It seems that our thoughts are the same. Loggins is just like me at the beginning. He is too confident. His plan is too crazy. If the plan fails, we will become the target of the people's siege. The previous school bullying case has damaged our image. Anthony has also resigned. This time..."
Monica suddenly looked up at the sky and said, "We really thought of the same thing. There's nothing we can do about it. He was sent by the higher-ups. Even the chief police officer doesn't have the authority to interfere with him. Let's hope that we can succeed this time."
"Do you believe it yourself?"
Monica looked down at him and was silent for a few seconds. Just as she was about to speak, Ross spoke first.
"There's no need to answer. I have the same answer as you."
After eating a simple breakfast, Willie came with good news.
Wilcox and Zangwei's location had been locked down. They were staying in a hotel.
After everyone's efforts of staying up all night, they finally had some results. Everyone began to gather around and study the next plan.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 92: Loggins Was Captured
After a round of research, Loggins pointed at the map and said, "There's also a hotel across the street. Send two snipers over. From now on, closely monitor the actions of the two people 24 hours a day. Send more plainclothes policemen over, but don't let anyone find out. Don't alert the Death Inquisitor! Also, prepare a command vehicle. I want to command it personally."
Ross glanced at Loggins and said, "Leader, don't go. You're the invitee now. I think it's safer for you to command them from the police station."
"Weren't there two suspects who were killed in the police station before? It's not necessarily safe in the police station. What should come will come. I can't hide in the police station forever. I can't hide. I'm in the command vehicle. Don't worry. Nothing will happen."
Ross had a helpless look on his face. He didn't know what to say. Why did this Loggins insist on helping?
Just like that, the Zero Major Crimes Team took action. They quietly surrounded the hotel where Wilcox and Zangwei were staying and closely monitored it.
At this time, Jack was drinking Coke and reading a novel in his apartment.
"Hmm. Interesting. Give me a reward of 100 yuan," Jack said with a smile. He was very relaxed.
Who knew what Loggins and the others would think if they knew that their opponent was drinking Coke and reading a novel while they were carrying out the plan so seriously.
Putting down his phone, Jack snapped his fingers and opened the system panel.
He browsed through the live broadcast scene.
This time, there were only two targets, so it didn't need to be too complicated. However, the opponent had to have a high level of brain power, otherwise it would be very difficult to pass.
After looking for a while, Jack searched through his system storage. He took a look at the sound insulation card, the stun card, the lighting and sound effects composite card, and then bought the sound change card, the cash exchange card, the radio interference card, the scene door card, and other skill cards.
Other than that, what made him a little afraid was that Zangwei's comprehensive strength had reached 58 points, and his strength alone was as high as 85 points, which was very powerful.
Jack thought for a while and finally decided to take out 1500 judgment points to raise his overall strength to 60 points. His strength alone could only reach 65 points, but his speed and agility had completely surpassed Zangwei's, so that was enough.
After all, he only needed to launch a surprise attack and then use a scene gate skill card. Using this skill card, he could directly transfer the target to the death scene.
Soon, night fell.
May 7th. There were less than five hours left. Their nerves were completely tense.
"All departments, pay attention. There's not much time left. Everyone, be alert. We must monitor closely!" In the command car, Loggins shouted into the walkie-talkie.
At that moment, Zangwei was smoking one cigarette after another. The room was filled with smoke.
Pa!
The flame of the lighter shot out.
Zi zi zi...
Zangwei lit another cigarette.
At that moment, a black shadow moved past him.
Shua!
It landed on the ground without making any sound and directly entered the room through the window.
Zangwei thought it was Wilcox, but when he looked back, the black shadow shot out like an arrow with a whoosh.
Zangwei instantly realized that it wasn't Wilcox. He immediately punched out, and the air seemed to be filled with the sound of his fist.
But the black shadow was like a poisonous snake, directly dodging his defensive moves.
Boom!
Zangwei's punch missed, directly smashing a hole in the wall of the hotel.
But in the next second, he felt a stabbing pain on his neck, and then his mind began to feel dizzy, and the whole world went dark.
"You..."
One second before Zangwei fainted, Jack threw out a scene door skill card in his hand.
Whoosh!
Zangwei was directly teleported away.
"There's a situation with target number one! There's a situation with target number one!"
The radio suddenly rang. When Loggins heard this, he became nervous and immediately ordered, "All personnel move out immediately. Protect target number one!"
Whoosh!
The plainclothes policemen who were living in the surrounding rooms immediately rushed into Zangwei's room.
"Target number one has disappeared! Target number one has disappeared!"
"How is that possible? How can such a big person just disappear?! Lock down the hotel immediately!" Loggins was also anxious. He dialed Ross and the others and said, "Send reinforcements immediately. We absolutely cannot let anyone escape!"
"Yes, sir!"
Ross and the others had just rushed over to help when the walkie-talkie in Loggins' hand suddenly let out a rustling sound. Then, a cold and deep voice sounded from the walkie-talkie.
"Hello, Loggins. I Am the Death Inquisitor. I want to play a game with you."
Loggins' heart suddenly contracted when he heard this voice. He stared coldly at the walkie-talkie and felt that his body was soaked in cold sweat.
"No matter where you are, I will definitely catch you."
Loggins answered, "You won't be able to catch me. I have already escaped from your encirclement. Goodbye."
"I won't let you escape."
Loggins was anxious. He pulled out his gun and rushed out of the command car. Then, a black shadow flashed past him.
Five minutes later, Ross, who had returned to the command car, turned pale.
"Bastard! Damn bastard!"
Half an hour later, on all the major live broadcast platforms on the Internet, something familiar popped up.
Many netizens were watching the live broadcast and posting bullet messages. Suddenly, they saw a notification. The live broadcast had begun!
"Hello, everyone. I'm your host, the Death Judge. Welcome to today's execution live broadcast."
As soon as the live broadcast room was opened, the bullet messages from the audience exploded.
"Judge, come here. I'm going to beat you to death. I'm so disappointed in you!"
"I used to believe in you so much and even treated you as my idol. I'm really blind. How could you lay your hands on an innocent ordinary person!"
"You actually dare to live broadcast! Do you think we will still support you? You perverted murderer! Go to hell!"
"I will never watch your live broadcast again! How could you kill such a beautiful girl? What did she do wrong? What crime did she commit? You perverted murderer! How dare you peel off someone's face and stick it on the glass? You're so infuriating, you scum!"
"What do you want to broadcast? Broadcast how you kill innocent ordinary people? What right do you have to punish those criminals? How much better are you than them? You're a madman! A murderer!"
"In the past, those people who were tortured called you a madman, a murderer. I used to think that they only scolded you because they were about to die, but now it seems that they were right! You're a madman, a perverted murderer! The criminals who were punished in the past were just coincidences. You just wanted to kill! Now that you can't find the criminals, you attack innocent ordinary people!"

Chapter 93: This is Fake News
Who in the audience didn't know about the Death Inquisitor? There was no one in the city who didn't know about the Death Judge.
In everyone's hearts, The Death Inquisitor had become a perverted murderer. He was a lunatic. He didn't do it for justice at all. He just wanted to satisfy his own killing desire. Now, he couldn't help it, he had cruelly killed an innocent ordinary girl who had just gotten off work.
It could be said that the people who had believed and worshipped the Death Inquisitor in the past now hated him.
Therefore, when they saw that the Death Inquisitor had started broadcasting, they immediately rushed in to scold him.
At that moment, the news that the Death Inquisitor had started broadcasting also began to spread. In just a short minute, tens of millions of people had poured in. Of course, it was different from before. Most of these people were there to denounce the Death Inquisitor.
At that moment, Jack, who was hiding in the darkness, smiled slightly and revealed a cold smile. He did not care about the bullet comments from the audience, because he knew that they would know the truth soon.
Jack's cold and hoarse voice rang out with a strange and mournful background music. It felt like a horror movie.
"Today, I'm going to tell a story. This story is about a police officer. In order to capture a person, the police officer plotted to lie to the public and release fake news. That person's name is the Death Inquisitor, and the police officer who lied and released fake news is now invited to the live broadcast room."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pitch-black broadcast room suddenly lit up. On the screen, there was a closed room with a muscular man sitting in the middle of it.
However, his situation did not seem optimistic. There was a set of strange-looking props covering his head, like a transparent glass fish tank. That thing was fixed on a steel frame, which led to the ceiling. It looked very sturdy.
There were also two thick tubes, which were inserted into the glass through a round hole. The other end of the tubes were connected to two large bathtubs, and there were fish swimming in the water.
Seeing this, the tens of millions of viewers were shocked.
"Did you see it clearly? Isn't that the leader of the Zero Major Crimes Team. Wasn't he the one who held the press conference last night? Did the judge just say that he didn't kill the girl, but that this policeman was lying and releasing fake news?"
"Why would the police release fake news? Is there any benefit in doing so?"
"You guys have such a low IQ. This should be the first time he came to watch the live broadcast of the judge. This matter is already very clear. This is a f*cking scam. We have all been used by the police! They just want the judge to rush out to explain and leave clues so that they can catch the judge!"
"I'm so angry! He actually lied to us like this! Can't we trust the police's words?"
"When have the police ever been trustworthy? In that last school bullying case, they held a press conference and said it was a suicide. In the end, it was the judge who exposed the truth!"
"I can't believe what the New York Police say in the future. Whatever news they release, I'll be sure it's fake!"
"I'm still so stupid to believe these police officers. I even scolded the judge just now. Now I really want to slap myself twice!"
"You don't have to think about it. You can just slap yourself twice!"
"Judge, please forgive my ignorance just now. I was actually deceived and even doubted my idol. As a fan, I'm really too incompetent!"
"That guy really has no dignity! We trusted him so much, yet he actually used us and even wanted to capture the judge!"
"The police's words can no longer be trusted. This guy has caused all the New York police to suffer! Think about those dedicated police officers!"
"This can also be considered a good thing. This way, we won't be easily deceived in the future, and we can also trust the judge with more confidence!"
"Stop discussing. Let's see how the judge will punish him!"
Meanwhile, back at the police department...
Ross looked at the complicated set of props on Loggins' head. He was nervous and at a loss. He didn't know what to do.
"It's over! It's over! The nightmare is coming true!"
"The anger of the people has completely exploded. We're really too stupid this time!"
"Does the Death Inquisitor really want to kill him? But his crimes are not worth the death penalty, right?"
"He has used all the props. It seems that he is not invited to visit. It is really hard to say. Among those people in the past, who do you think will survive?"
"But this time, it is not a death notice, but a death invitation. He might not die!"
"Oh right, where's Zangwei? Why is it only Loggins?"
"That's right! Where's Zangwei? Why can't I see what tricks the Death Inquisitor is up to this time!"
They looked like they were about to break down. They knew how complicated and unpredictable the Death Inquisitor's thoughts were. They could not imagine that they were all very nervous right now. Cold sweat was dripping down their foreheads. It was the first time they had been that nervous.
At that time, Loggins had also woken up. The blinding light made him narrow his eyes slightly. Then, he found the complicated prop on his head.
"F*ck!"
Loggins cursed angrily, but he knew clearly in his heart that he had been caught by the Death Inquisitor and was in the middle of a live broadcast. Moreover, there were at least tens of millions of people watching.
Thinking of this, Loggins felt a strong sense of shame welling up in his heart.
I was actually caught in the death broadcast room!
I was actually going to be like those torturers, being played like a monkey in order to survive!
'Why? Why did this happen! I actually became so weak! This is impossible! Could it really be because he was too strong?' Loggins instantly thought of many things, and his emotions were very complicated.
Denial, unwillingness, humiliation, anger—these emotions surged into his heart, and for a moment, they actually suppressed the fear in his heart.
"Bastard! You damn bastard! I'll catch you! I won't lose to you!"
Loggins struggled to get up. His body was not fixed to the chair, but the prop on his head was firmly fixed. Moreover, this prop was obviously made of special tempered glass. He knocked hard a few times. It did not have any effect at all. Moreover, his neck was firmly stuck in the round hole at the bottom of the glass fish tank like a shackle. In this way, he had no way to escape.
Looking at his painful struggle, the corner of Jack's mouth rose slightly, revealing a cold smile.
He laughed before he said, "You've already lost. Otherwise, why would you appear in my live broadcast room? Now I want to play a game with you."

Chapter 94: Water of Death
"Listen to every word I say. This is very important to your survival in the future. I can understand if you want to capture me, but you must have a brain that can match mine when you're on a business trip. Even if you're just a little off, you can still follow in my footsteps. But if you can't even see my back. I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out of here alive today. As you can see, the device on your head is called the Water of Death. After the game starts, the pumping system will be activated. At that time, both water pipes will pour water into the glass fish tank. The part that strangles your neck at the bottom of the glass fish tank is not completely sealed, but the speed of the water flowing out is only half of the speed of the two water pipes. After about a minute, the glass fish tank will be filled with water, and you will drown. However, you won't have the opportunity to go on a business trip. There is a pre-set time lock under the glass fish tank, and the key is on you. You don't have much time left. Whether you can escape from here alive or not depends on your own brainpower."
"Bastard! Damn bastard! You damn Death Judge!" Loggins cursed angrily. Just as he had imagined, he was now being played like a monkey.
"Now, let's officially start the game."
Just as Jack finished speaking, the sound of a cold wind blowing the fallen leaves rang out, causing the atmosphere in the entire live broadcast room to become extremely cold and strange.
Loggins' body trembled when he heard that. Then, with a buzzing sound, the sound of a motor starting could be heard. The cold water began to flow into the glass fish tank.
"F*ck! What's going on? There's a sound effect now? You scared me!"
"The live broadcast room has been upgraded. Now it's really like watching a movie. We can sell tickets directly."
"Don't talk about it. Focus on the main point. This policeman is so pale! I think he's scared to death!"
"That's hard to say. We still have to see if he has a brain. This doesn't look difficult. As long as he finds the trap, it's going to be easy. If he doesn't find the trap, he can hold his breath for a long time and survive."
"Do you think he's a toad? If he's not a professional, he won't be able to hold his breath for long."
"But this game isn't difficult or cruel. Maybe it's because this policeman didn't commit any serious crimes."
"I don't remember a single word the judge said. Anyway, if I were playing this game, I'll drink all the water!"
"You are really a genius. With the speed of water leakage and the speed of drinking water, as long as you can catch up with the speed of the water, you will really survive. However, you might die from choking or vomiting or asphyxiation!"
"Unless you can drink water and pee at the same time. If you really survive like this, the judge can deliberately let him go. After all, this is not something that ordinary people can do!"
"This is something that an ordinary person cannot do. This is something that a human cannot do!"
Looking at the bullet comments of the audience in the live broadcast room, Ross and the others were the most anxious at that moment.
After all, Loggins was currently the leader of the Zero Major Crimes Team. His actions were indeed a little stupid and arrogant. However, that was also in order to solve the case as soon as possible. Seeing him die like this, Ross and the others could not do it. Their hearts were also extremely tormented.
"He can definitely break free. Definitely!" Ross said in a low voice.
He had already memorized all the rules that Jack had mentioned just now. At that time, his hands were trembling uncontrollably, and he said in a low voice, "The key is on him. What could the key be?"
"I'm afraid that he can only hold on for three minutes at most, and an adult can only hold his breath for about a minute. If he can't think of a way quickly, he will suck the water and it will seep into his lungs. He will drown and die."
Monica listened to Bowman's analysis and broke out in a cold sweat anxiously. A voice kept echoing in her heart. Was the Death Judge really going to kill Loggins?
What was the game's trap?
Quickly find it!
Where was the trap?!
How could he escape?
Monica shook her head. She felt like she was about to collapse.
However, the one who broke down the most was Loggins in the live broadcast room.
"F*ck! I didn't lose! I must catch you! Just you wait!"
Loggins roared crazily, but the water that was injected into his head mask was very cold. It immediately woke him up from his madness.
He held his breath for a little more than two minutes. In addition to the initial period of less than a minute, that meant that he only had a total of three minutes. If he could not escape in three minutes, he would suffocate to death in a small glass fish tank!
What a sarcastic game.
What an awkward and sad way to die.
'Bastard! This damn Death Judge!'
Loggins had fought with death countless times, but he had never been as scared as he was at that exact moment. It was not because he was timid, but because he had solved countless of the most dangerous cases and was infinitely close to death. No one who knew him would think that he was afraid of death.
But what really scared him was the predetermined death—the predicted way of death. Everything was already waiting for him on the predetermined path. It was as if there was a grim reaper in front of him. It was not chasing him like before, but it was standing in front of him and waving at him, and he could not run away at all. He could only follow the set script and walk step by step toward the Grim Reaper.
"F*ck! I won't die! I won't die in this pathetic fish tank!"
Loggins struggled for a while, but to no avail. The water continued to pour in, and the sound of splashing water could be heard from his neck. The water kept flowing down his neck. His entire body was soaked, but the water level in the hood was still slowly rising. It stimulated his sensitive nerves.
"Hahaha! This idiot hasn't come up with a solution yet. He's still struggling for nothing!"
"Deceiving the people! A person without a bottom line! Just let him die!"
"Yes, there's a price to pay for publishing fake news and making use of the people!"
"You can think of any way to catch the judge. If you policemen could think of so many ways to catch criminals, you wouldn't be boycotted now!"
"Forget about the police! They don't have any authority anymore. Just contact the judge if you need vengeance!"
The bullet screens released by the audience in the live broadcast room once again covered the screen.
Loggins suddenly thought of something that the Death Judge said.
"The key is with you."
"Yes, the key. I have the key! I can live if I find the key!"
Loggins quickly searched his body. Only then did he realize that all the things he had with him were gone. Even his watch had been taken away. His pocket was empty. There was nothing in it.

Chapter 95: Where is the Key?
"Bastard! Damn Death Inquisitor! You lied to me! I don't have the key on me!" Loggins roared angrily.
When the audience in the live broadcast room heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
"This guy is really an idiot. He can't really think that the Death Inquisitor will put a key on him and let him open the water tank easily, then slowly wait for the time to end, right?"
"What an idiot! Even my dog knows that the key is just a general term. The key that the Inquisitor mentioned could be hair, fingernails, fingers, or something else."
"Hair unlock. Even if he knew, would he know these things?"
"I don't think so. He doesn't look very smart."
Ross and the others couldn't help but cover their faces. They really didn't expect it. They were almost worried to death about Loggins' behavior. Did he not watch the live broadcast of death?
He was really stupid!
Loggins also realized that he had made a very low-level mistake. Just like his plan, the Death Inquisitor was not caught, but he was caught instead.
As he thought of this, he felt very angry.
F*ck!
'If it is not the real key, then what does the key represent? What else do I have on me? Oh right! The lock! What does the lock look like?'
In his anxiety, Loggins quickly cleared his mind.
So he looked down and found that he could not see the bottom of the glass cover or what the lock looked like.
Loggins gritted his teeth and used his hand to feel around. He found that there was indeed a device at the bottom, but that device was more like an electronic lock than a traditional lock.
Could it be a password lock?
The password to open the lock was written on my body?
Thinking of this, Loggins immediately rolled up his sleeves, but other than a scar on his arm, there was no other number.
Could it have been written on his stomach?
'I can't see it! Could it be on my leg?'
So Loggins raised his leg again.
In the live broadcast room, watching him scratch his arm and raise his leg, the audience looked at him blankly, completely dumbfounded.
"What is he doing?"
"Scratching, right?"
"Is he allergic to water?"
"He must be allergic to water!"
"Could it be that he wants to shoot one last time before he dies? He's trying to get a feel for it."
"F*ck! Don't you guys feel that the music today is especially scary? Just listening to the sound is enough to scare me to death!"
"I think so too, but I'm already scared to death, so I didn't say anything."
Looking at the livestream audience's incessant bullet comments, Jack, who was hidden in the darkness, smiled slightly. It had to be said that this sound effect had really raised the level of the entire livestream to a whole new level. It was a completely intelligent soundtrack. That sound was sometimes desolate, sometimes strange, and sometimes sinister and terrifying. Just listening to the music would make people's heart beat faster, increase their blood pressure, dilate their pupils, and blur their vision.
But that was not the main point. The main point was that there was not much time left for Loggins, and he seemed to have no clue at all.
Jack shook his head and said, "This opponent is not very good."
In the live broadcast room, there was a close-up shot of the water surface in the glass cover rising very quickly.
Not long after, it had already submerged to the side of Loggins'mouth, and it was about to reach his nose.
Huff, huff, huff!
Loggins panted hard. The glass cover in the cramped space and the damned weird music made him feel fear that he had never felt before. The game that he had no clue about made him feel a sense of loss that he had never felt before.
'Am I really going to die? Am I, Loggins, really going to leave this world in such an embarrassing way? No! I can't admit defeat! I have to calm down and slow down my heartbeat. I have to buy more time. I have to escape this place alive!'
Suddenly, Loggins stopped all his struggles. His mind slowly calmed down, and he recalled all the previous death broadcasts.
Thinking was the only way to leave this place alive.
Seeing him slowly calm down, Jack nodded slightly. The corners of his mouth curled up and he revealed an expectant smile.
"He finally looks like the leader of the Special Homicide Investigation Team."
Ross looked at the surface of the water that was about to drown Loggins, and an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
"That's not right! The key that the Death Inquisitor mentioned is not used to unlock the lock. We have been deceived by him again!"
"If the key is not used to unlock the lock, then what is it used for?" Judy asked with a frown. However, her hands did not stop. She kept throwing Trojan horse data in an attempt to squeeze the Death Broadcast room.
Ross said, "Do you still remember what the Death Judge said? There is a pre-set time lock at the bottom of the glass cover. What he said is a time lock. It doesn't need a key to open at all. Once the time is up, it will open naturally, but the time is definitely not too short!"
The few of them frowned and began to think.
"It seems to be true!"
"If the key he mentioned is not used to open the lock, what is it used to open?"
"Yeah, since he mentioned it, it must be useful, right?"
Monica said, "If this hypothesis is true, then the key that the Death Judge mentioned is the lock of life."
"Lock of life? What does it mean?"
"I remember the Death Judge also said that the speed of water injection is twice as fast as the speed of outflow. Did you see that? There are two water pipes on the glass cover to inject water. If you can cut off one, then the speed of water injection will be equal to the speed of outflow. In other words, there is no water injection. Do you think one of the two water pipes can be removed?" Hart also said.
"Remove one?"
"That's impossible, isn't it? If that's the case, it would be too easy!"
"Doesn't the Death Inquisitor often do this? Which of his traps is complicated?"
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Loggins didn't seem to have tried to remove the water pipe, and they didn't know if he could get it with his hands. However, this idea was very bold, and the two water pipes didn't seem to be particularly sturdy. It was a simple trap. Wasn't it the usual method used by the Death Inquisitor?
If that was really the case, then this game was really too humiliating. The problem was that they were really insulted.
"Even if that's the case and even if we guessed correctly, we can't tell him now. Now, everything is up to him. Let's hope he can come out alive," Anthony said with a sigh.
In the picture, Loggins raised his head and tried his best to keep his nose up. The water had already risen under his nose. At the last moment when the water submerged his nose, he took a deep breath, trying to hold his breath for a longer time.

Chapter 96: There Was No Need For a Key To Unlock the Door
The music in the live broadcast room suddenly became low, as if it was the prelude to death. It made people's hearts suddenly contract.
"It's over! It's over! The music has changed. He's really going to die!"
"This funeral song sounds so scary! Do any of you know what song this is?"
"I've listened to it on my phone, but I can't find this song. It's only available in the judge's live broadcast room. Could it be that the judge wrote it himself? That would be amazing!"
"So what if he dies? He's not a good person anyway. As a police officer, he created rumors to deceive the public and released fake news just to capture the judge and make use of the people of New York. He's a scumbag. He deserves to die!"
"He's indeed hateful, but I don't think he deserves being sentenced to death. Maybe the judge is too resentful. It's a little like killing someone with passion."
"Get lost. If one person said something that caused the entire country and even the entire world to curse you, would you still say that? This was the most serious incident of cyber violence in history! If the other party was not a judge, he would have probably committed suicide by now!"
The audience in the live broadcast room started discussing enthusiastically once again.
Time passed very quickly. Seconds passed very quickly. When he looked at Loggins again, the water had already submerged his eyes. At this moment, his eyes were wide open. His entire face looked ferocious and terrifying because he was holding his breath. His face looked like the face of a devil.
Gulp, gulp.
Suddenly, two bubbles emerged from Loggins' mouth.
"It's over. He can't hold it in any longer."
"Judging by my many years of swimming experience, if he spat out the bubbles, then he only has ten seconds left."
The audience watched intently. In the next moment, they captured this crucial scene.
Seeing this scene, Ross punched the table hard.
"Quick! Quick! Loggins, you can't die! Quickly find a way!"
Monica only felt a wave of nausea. Her body trembled, her hands were full of goosebumps, and her hair stood on end. She couldn't bear to watch anymore. Even though she had seen many cruel cases and even though it was not the first time she had watched a death broadcast, she was repulsed because her colleague was about to die in pain. She could not help but close her eyes.
Gulp, gulp.
Loggins spat out two more bubbles. He felt that the oxygen in his body was becoming less and less. There was a huge pressure on his chest, and his body became very heavy. Then, images from his previous life began to appear in his mind.
He had experienced this before. That time, he almost died and was in a coma for seven days.
"Am I really going to die this time? I'm so unwilling!"
Gulp, gulp!
Loggins finally could not hold it in anymore. He suddenly opened his mouth, and the water in the glass cover was suddenly poured in, slightly relieving the huge pressure on his lungs.
Seeing this scene, Ross and the others kept shaking their heads, and their eyes were wet.
Pain!
Helplessness!
Gulp, gulp.
Loggins drank two more mouthfuls of water, but this time, there was no effect. The pressure from his lungs immediately came back, as if it was going to tear his body apart.
'Ahhhh! Death Judge, I'm going to kill you!'
But Loggins could not make a sound at all. He could only glare fiercely. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared under the water, looking very terrifying.
'No! I can't give up! I, Loggins, can't die like this!'
Loggins gritted his teeth and searched his body again, trying to find the key.
'The key! There must be a clue to find the key!'
Loggins' hand went from his trouser pocket to his shirt pocket, then to his chest. Suddenly, he felt a cold touch on his hand. It was a pen, a pen he had put in his pocket.
'Pen? He took all my things. Why didn't he take the pen? Is the pen the key?' Loggins frowned, and a picture flashed in his mind.
Gulp, gulp, gulp.
Loggins quickly shut his mouth and took out the pen. He quickly twisted the nut on the end of the pen, and then twisted the pen away from the middle, leaving only the hollow pen tube.
Puchi!
Without any hesitation, Loggins directly inserted the pen tube into the front of his neck and directly into the trachea.
Phew!
A large amount of air rushed into Loggins'organs through the pen tube.
The tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were shocked when they saw this scene.
"F*ck! This person is so ruthless! What is he doing? is he holding his breath so uncomfortable that he is preparing to commit suicide?"
"You idiot, he's making a simple breathing apparatus. The pen tube is connected to the trachea, and the air enters the lungs through the pen tube!"
"Amazing! He's already on the verge of death, yet he's still alive!"
"Although this person doesn't seem to be very smart, he's really bold!"
At this time, everyone in the Zero Major Crimes Team was excited.
"That's great! That's really great!"
"So the key that the Death Inquisitor meant is that pen. I can't believe it! Do you think the Death Inquisitor wants to kill him or not?"
"Forget about that for now. I don't know what will happen next. Could there be another round?"
"If there's another round, it means that the Death Inquisitor really wants to kill him! If that's the case, Loggins will be in danger!"
"No matter what, you have to hold on, Loggins!"
This scene made Ross and the others, who were deep in despair, instantly excited. They saw hope, but they were afraid that hope would be followed by even deeper despair. After all, the Death Inquisitor had played everyone like this more than once.
At that moment, in the live broadcast room, Loggins finally let out a sigh of relief.
He had escaped from death once again!
Unlike his previous contempt, this time he felt a trace of joy, a trace of fear, and a trace of admiration.
'Death Judge! You have really taught me a very profound lesson! However, do you want me to die, or do you want me to live? However, this is no longer important. As long as I, Loggins, am alive, I will definitely capture you!'
Thinking of this, Loggins' face darkened again. The current situation was still not optimistic. Although there was no danger of suffocation, he could not be stuck there forever, right?
'Oh right, there is a pre-set time lock at the bottom of the glass cover. The time lock is for the time, and the key is another key. But a lock and a key made me instinctively link them together. Damn it!'
With his life in danger, Loggins calmed down and figured out what the game was all about. He gritted his teeth and shivered.
'It was all a trap! The pre-set time lock didn't even need a key! Fuck! Death Judge! I'll remember you!' he thought to himself.
