Livestream: The Adjudicator of Death - Chapter 190

Chapter 190: Who is the Bait?

Meanwhile, at the NYPD, Ross looked excited. His hands trembled as he pointed at the screen and said, “Look at the structure of this room.”

“The ceiling is made of steel beams. This height is at least five meters. It must be a factory!” Anthony said.

Ross nodded and said to Willie, “Immediately inform the Shitan City police to search for a dilapidated abandoned factory. As soon as there is any news, let them report to us immediately.”

At this moment, Loggins was feeling quite joyful. “There aren’t many factories in Shitan City to begin with, and there are even fewer such dilapidated factories. I feel like I’m going to meet the Death Inquisitor soon.”

Hearing this, everyone was very excited. They felt that the resentment in their hearts was finally about to be released. As long as they caught the Death Inquisitor, they would be able to stand in front of the media confidently, and they would no longer be timid. They would have nothing to be ashamed of.

“Everyone, don’t be happy yet. The game is already halfway through. We don’t have much time left.”

Ross’s words woke everyone up.

“Let’s hope that they can hold on a little longer!” Loggins’ gaze fell back to the big screen.

At this moment, Adonis and Peter stood in front of the iron chain. They looked at each other before shifting their gazes. Peter stretched out his hand to pull the iron hook, but it did not move at all. Then, he pulled the iron chain next to him. With a crashing sound, the iron chain on this side was pulled down, and the iron hook rose to a high position.

In an instant, Peter’s expression was as black as charcoal.

Adonis saw that Peter’s expression was not right, and his hand that reached out to touch the iron hook stopped.

“What’s wrong?”

“Don’t pull on the hook. This thing can’t be lowered when it rises. It’s one-way.”

“What’s wrong with it being one-way?” Adonis still did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

Peter’s head was full of black lines. He was originally unhappy because this guy had implicated him. Now that he saw that Adonis was as stupid as a pig, he not only wanted to curse. He wanted to ask, “Is your brain filled with shit?”

But after thinking for a while, he still held it in. Now the two of them were like grasshoppers on the same boat, so he snorted coldly and said, “You’re really stupid. Can’t you see the height of the iron hook? Do you know what a fishing game is?”

Actually, from the bottom of his heart, he looked down on people who killed women the most. In his view, this was a sign of weakness.

Hearing Peter call him stupid, Adonis was furious, but due to Peter’s cold gaze, he did not flare up in the end.

After all, the two of them were in the same boat.

‘HMPH! I’ll kill you sooner or later. I’ll let you know how powerful I am.’

Adonis calculated in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face. “You mean these two big hooks are hooked onto our bodies?” he said.

“Nonsense. Both hands need to pull the other two chains. The hook in the middle is already at our chests. Don’t tell me you want to wrap the chain around your neck and pull yourself up? To put it nicely, this is a fishing game. In fact, the Death Judge is a fisherman. We are just bait on the hook.” Peter gritted his teeth in anger.

Adonis touched his swollen cheek and said, “In the first game, I tried to wrap the remaining iron chains around my wrists, but the flesh on my wrists couldn’t bear the weight of my entire body. I think these two iron hooks wouldn’t be able to hold on no matter where they are.”

“What if it’s the ribs or the collarbone?” Peter snorted coldly.

This Adonis was really too stupid to be saved.

Hearing Peter’s reasonable analysis, Adonis glanced at the huge iron hook and immediately swallowed his saliva. My God, this big guy pierced through the ribs. Even if he didn’t die, he would at least be half dead.

“F*CK! Damn it! This Death Inquisitor is trying to play us to death!”

Peter snorted coldly, and his eyes were filled with a cold aura. “If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t even be here. If your subordinate was killed, I can help you.”

“That’s not necessary,” Adonis said.

Peter turned his head. “One each, then let’s begin!”

Just as he was holding the iron thorns, Adonis’s shout came from the side. “Wait!”

“What now?”

Adonis looked around. His eyes were shining with a glint of sudden wisdom. “Don’t you think there’s a trap here? From the first game until now, we’ve been played by the Death Judge in every game. Do you really believe what he said and climb up to separate the flesh and blood?”

“Have you thought of a way?” Peter narrowed his eyes.

Adonis said, “The Death Inquisitor said that there are four games in total, and he once said that sometimes hurting yourself is to protect yourself, so I think we should cooperate to complete the game this time.”

Peter sneered, “Didn’t you just say that the Death Inquisitor is an idiot?”

“I was just saying that out of anger. Our ultimate goal is to leave this place alive. So as long as we can survive, any method is worth a try, right?”

“No need to beat around the bush. Just say it. What did you think of?”

“I think that the Death Inquisitor designed two lines. On the surface, it looks like one for each person, but in reality, this is actually a collaborative game. One person pulls the line at the bottom and one person goes up. Otherwise, why would he set it to eight minutes instead of four minutes?”

After hearing Adonis’s analysis, the netizens were also shocked.

“It seems like it’s the case. This time, I finally got something better.”

“I’ve been stupid twice. It’s time to be smart once.”

“Perverts aren’t scary. What’s scary is that perverts are cultured. No wonder Adonis was able to get away with it for more than ten years.”

“Hehe. Once the Death Judge made his move, he captured people and brought them back to play the game in four days. Do you know what that means?”

Not only netizens, but even the people from the Zero Major Crimes Squad felt that Adonis’s analysis made sense.

“Two strangers, two sets of equipment, and the inertia of thinking indeed makes people think that each person has one, but the time of the game is 18 minutes, which is more like the time of two people overlapping. I think Adonis’s analysis makes sense,” Monica said.

“The question now is, who will be the bait?” Ross said.

“No one will be willing to be the bait. I think it’s more likely that they will take turns to be the bait,” Judy raised her own point of view.

“That’s true. Let’s hope that they can pass the test smoothly!”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the live broadcast room. Peter frowned. He also felt that Adonis’s analysis made sense.

“I agree with your opinion. You go and connect the wires, and I’ll pull you,” Peter said.

Adonis thought that this was the case. After all, no one was a fool. However, now was an emergency, so he had to consider the actual situation. He also wanted to take the opportunity to exhaust Peter.

“I know that it will definitely be a great sacrifice for us to go up, but first, you’re smaller than me. If you complete this game, we will be able to preserve our physical strength to deal with the next game. Therefore, in order for us to leave this place alive, we will temporarily put aside our selfishness, learn to sacrifice, and walk towards success.”

It had to be said that Adonis was quite eloquent and knew how to stir up emotions.

Peter looked at him coldly. Adonis was very tall and fat. Objectively speaking, he was indeed the best candidate.

But Peter was a little hesitant. He knew very well what kind of world this was. Especially since Adonis was a murderer. Those words could be used to deceive others, but it was still a little lacking to deceive him. However, what he said was the truth.

“You go first in the fourth game. If I find out what tricks you are playing, I will definitely kill you.” After hesitating, Peter’s tone was cold.

Adonis laughed and said, “Don’t worry. Now that we are all in the same boat, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to leave alive. Let’s begin.”

Ross was surprised to see the two reach an agreement.
