Chapter 830: 416, Extremely Wicked_2
"Damn, this little punk really has some guts, daring to make threats like he's going to beat someone up?"
"Hey, watch what you're saying. That guy may be wearing clothes identical to a police uniform, but since the number on his uniform is X, it shows that he's still just a police academy student."
"That's odd, though. How does a police academy student end up at an interrogation scene?"
"You're clearly not from Los Angeles. This year, the Los Angeles Police Academy moved up the practical training period, so all first-year students have been dispatched to local police stations and neighborhood offices for training. It's not surprising for a police academy student to appear in an interrogation room."
"It's just a police academy student, what's the big deal? I'm more curious about how the broadcaster managed to stream from the interrogation room without being noticed by those inside."
"Forget about trying to figure it out. The broadcaster's intelligence compared to yours is a massive gap; you'd never understand it with your brain."
At the same time, in the live stream, Jack heard Tom's threatening words, and his expression became increasingly stern. With an unperturbed voice, he asked, "Aren't you afraid of the law's punishment?"
"The law?"
Tom seemed to hear a tremendous joke, laughed a few times, and said with indifference, "I'm a minor, the law has to protect me, what is there to fear?!"
On hearing Tom's words and seeing his nonchalant expression, Jack felt a chill run up his spine despite the summer heat, strengthening his resolve to pass judgment on Tom and make him taste the fear of death.
"Damn! This little punk is so arrogant!"
"Watching this makes me shiver. What kind of family, environment, breeds such scum? People like this deserve more than the death penalty. Forget about human rights, the deceased suffered so much torment and died in agony, yet they haven't even been hit by a bullet. They should arrest his parents too—it's the parents' fault for not teaching their kids. This is infuriating!!"
"What kind of family breeds such animals?"
"Personally, I believe a prison should make people never want to go back again after their first time. Regardless of minors, elderly, or pregnant women, if the crime is intentional and not accidental, they should be severely punished legally, judged as required!"
"That's why I've never advocated for the death penalty's abolition. For complete villains like these, prison can't reform them; they are a huge threat to society. If such ruthless and cruel people can roam free, how can those tragically deceased rest in peace?"
Tom's words completely ignited the already indignant live-stream audience's fury.
Sitting across from Tom, Jack, however, lowered his head and silently summoned his light screen.
After the last stream ended, the system rewarded him with a Golden Treasure Box. Upon opening the Golden Treasure Box, he got a Death God Scene Card and a Point-to-Point Teleportation Card.
In the system store, it takes 5000 points to exchange for a Death God Scene Card. Jack thought it was quite a bargain to draw this card.
The Death God Scene Card, as the name suggests, allows Jack to freely decide the target's life or death upon usage. If he wants the target to drown, the target will absolutely not be able to hang themselves.
Not only that, the target's death would be orchestrated in such a natural and reasonable manner that no trace of human manipulation could be detected.
And today, Jack would become the Death God to judge Tom and others' monstrous crimes.
At this moment, Alicia Linder returned from answering a phone call, opened the door, and said to Jack, "You, return to the officers' dormitory immediately. Without my or Chief David's orders, you're not allowed to come out."
Jack nodded silently. From Alicia Linder's words, he already understood that the city bureau, or more accurately, the task force, had learned of the Judgement live stream's commencement. Locking him up signified that this training was indeed an intricately planned six-month "trap" set by the task force to pinpoint him!
However, for Jack, all of this was pointless. Even if the task force suspected him, they couldn't find any concrete evidence proving he was the Dark Law Enforcer.
At the moment when Alicia Linder was about to lead Jack out of the interrogation room, an ice-cold, piercing voice suddenly echoed in the room:
"Hello everyone, welcome to the Judgement live stream, I am the Dark Law Enforcer."
Jack clearly noticed that when Alicia Linder heard the voice, her body slightly trembled, but she quickly regained composure.
"Today, the targets of my judgement, as you may already know, are the suspects in the North Suburb Han Couple's disappearance and murder case: Tom, Jason, Adam, and Henry.
You four have been breaking into homes since childhood and lack discipline. As you've grown older, you have become bolder, especially after coming out of juvenile detention, acting even more unscrupulously, and eventually cruelly murdering an innocent couple.
Though you're not adults yet, the police may not be able to deal with you, but in my eyes, as long as someone is guilty, they must be punished.
Right now, I want to play a game with you, a death game. This game is very simple: I will end your lives today. What you need to do is evade the hunt. If all four of you are dead by midnight or if someone lasts beyond 24 hours, the game will end.
At present, you have two choices: one is to stay put at the North Suburb Police Station, waiting passively for death; the other is to escape, trying everything to get out of the station and find a way to survive. But I must remind you, Death has already arrived, and no matter where you are, it's watching you."
"Let the death game begin! Starting with Adam!"
As soon as Jack finished speaking, the live stream's comments section exploded with a frenzy of messages.
"Wow! The broadcaster is finally streaming again, that's great, I thought they'd been caught by the police!"
"No way, the broadcaster was just taking a break these past few days, you're overthinking!"
"But I'm still a bit confused about the rules of the game the broadcaster mentioned. Can someone smart explain it to us?"
"Isn't it simple, the broadcaster said they're going to hunt these people, so they're going to personally enact judgement this time!"
"I think it's not that simple. If the broadcaster shows up, the police would definitely hunt them down the whole time. Also, what's with the strange timing of this broadcast? It's only morning now, meaning their stream will go on for more than ten hours."
"I'm not worried about how complicated it is. Since I don't have to work today, I can watch the stream all day from home!"
The live stream audience was thrilled about Jack's return to broadcasting, yet no one fully grasped the rules he laid out.
Meanwhile, in the Los Angeles City Bureau's task force, Team Leader Tom Hanks frowned tightly after hearing the Dark Law Enforcer's rules and was filled with confusion.
Based on past case analysis, the Dark Law Enforcer typically uses contraptions and suffocating time pressure to drive victims to their own demise. This time, though, he had entirely abandoned his usual methods.
This wasn't a scenario he was willing to witness.
Because a change in modus operandi often indicates an escalation in a serial criminal's methods!
At this moment, profiler Emily Johnson, standing behind Tom Hanks, suddenly said, "Carrying out killings in completely open settings leaves far fewer clues compared to closed environments, which significantly increases the difficulty in profiling the Dark Law Enforcer."
