18. Sanctions of Justice
The third 'single-plank bridge' is more difficult to walk than the second.
In addition to barbed wire, a sharp blade-shaped pendulum hangs from the ceiling, flicking back and forth in the direction of progress.
On the premise of maintaining balance, Bai Ye still had to pay attention to these pendulum attacks.
However, as his heart rate steadily increased, his ability to control his body also reached a very terrifying level.
As a result, it took him less time to pass through the third 'single-plank bridge' than the second one......
- System Prompt: Perfect body balance increases your cautious stance by 50 proficiency.
- System Prompt: Your Cautious Stance has been upgraded to Level 1.
When he boarded the third platform, Bai Ye also received a reminder to upgrade his cautious posture.
The upgraded stance buff is a slight increase in movement speed in a cautious stance......
'Huh? β
When he leaned over to pick up the box on the ground, Bai Ye immediately noticed the strangeness of the box.
It seems to be a little heavier than the first two boxes. β
It may be difficult for the average person to notice this if they do not hold the two boxes in their hands and compare them.
But after the senses were strengthened, Bai Ye noticed something strange as soon as he entered the box.
He opened the wooden box, and the wind-up tightener and red flannel lining inside looked fine.
'The weight seems to be concentrated at the bottom of the box?' β
Bai Ye flipped the box over and looked at it, and the bottom of the box didn't look like there was anything wrong.
But as he tore the red flannel lining with his hands, he noticed that a large 'X' had been drawn with a marker pen on the bottom of the box.
'No one can survive, follow the direction of the heart to find, X is the hope of life! β
He immediately recalled the handwritten sentence on the strange piece of paper sandwiched between 100 'quotes'.
There was a hint of something about that sentence, a bit like a clue left by someone who had been involved in the design of the death game.
Now that the mysterious X has appeared in the box, does it mean that the so-called 'clue to life' is hidden in this box?
Bai Ye reached out and knocked on the inside of the box twice, and what came back was a crisp sound unique to a hollow object.
'There's something in there?' β
He squeezed the bottom of the box with his fingers and pressed it through with only a little effort.
After cleaning up the pieces of the box, the bottom of the box turns into a bare square border.
The border has a dull sheen, and the material is a special alloy that is quite firm to the touch.
γLightweight alloy frameγ
[Type: Uncommon sundries]
[Weight: 3]
[Introduction: It is often those inconspicuous gadgets that can save people's lives. γ
'The introduction doesn't specify how to use it?' β
Bai Ye repeatedly inspected the information of the items on both sides, and couldn't understand what this thing could have to do with the 'Hope of Life'.
'Bring it with you. β
The game system doesn't set up some irrelevant things, and I don't know how to use it because it's not time to use it yet.
He carries the metal frame in his hand, and until he has a bag item, the items he picks up in the scene can only be carried by the player in his hand or stored in his clothing pocket......
Because the third platform is beyond the bare walls, there is no road, and there is no door.
Whether it is to continue to symbolically 'savior' the black Mike, or to fish in troubled waters to go to the next scene, Bai Ye has only one choice: to return the same way.
He then boarded the 'Single-Plank Bridge' again and walked back towards the 'Cold-Blooded Headshot' device.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Behind the surveillance cameras, in a dark room, in front of several monitors.
A scar-faced man in a black and red cloak stares at the surveillance footage.
In the picture, Bai Ye returned the same way after easily obtaining 3 'Clockwork Tensioners', and has now crossed two 'single-plank bridges' and returned to the vicinity of the death device.
The man's eyes showed a deep look of surprise, as if he was surprised by Bai Ye's excellent body balance.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that several blurry black shadows flashed in the surveillance video in the lower right corner.
The Scarface man seemed to realize something, his face became solemn, and he muttered, 'Damn it, it's coming so fast'.
He hurriedly turned on the other two closed surveillance videos, and then stared at the two video screens with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Not long after, in one of the surveillance screens, behind several wooden boxes stacked together, two figures wearing pig-head masks and black and red cloaks slowly walked out.
At the same time, in another surveillance screen, several figures in the same outfit also appeared.
As if they were holding some kind of ceremony, they walked slowly towards the surveillance camera in silence and solemnity.
β¦β¦
Bai Ye successfully crossed all the 'single-plank bridges' and returned to the vicinity of the death device.
By this time, the black man Mike had broken the joint of his right hand, the roller was sending his head to the judgment position, and the bloody spike baseball bat was almost finished.
Mike hung his head down, motionless, and didn't know if he was dead or unconscious and in a deep coma.
After Bai Ye accurately inserted the 3 mainspring tensioners into the 3 slot holes on the gear set, he rotated them half a turn in turn.
The gear set slowly stopped with a clatter, and the spiked baseball bat finally stopped charging, and the entire death mechanism appeared to have stopped running on the surface.
Then, that strange zoomed-in perspective reappeared, and the picture began to rotate continuously, and that yellowed memory picture appeared in front of Bai Ye's eyes again......
"Hey, Mike, you've been fired."
Outside the gymnasium, a tall middle-aged man said coldly to the black Mike:
"You're not welcome in my baseball club."
"Just give me another chance, I promise not to make the same mistake again."
Mike had a cynical face, and his tone sounded insincere.
"The bat is for the game, not for smashing someone's brain...... And I've given you many chances before. β
The middle-aged man said sternly: "I will never allow a violent element to destroy my team. β
β¦β¦
The screen cuts to Mike, a black man, sitting in front of a computer.
A video of a muscular blonde teenager beating another skinny teenager is playing on a computer monitor.
"Isn't this kid the old guy's son? It's actually on the news hot search?
School bullying? Decent old fellow, what else do you have to say, your own son is a violent person, hahaha......"
A vengeful smile appeared on the corner of Mike's mouth, pulling the page to the comments section below.
He noticed that there were several popular comments in it that attracted a large number of comments from netizens.
[His parents have to bear the main responsibility for this!] This is a failure of homeschooling! γ
The moment he saw this comment, Mike felt that the commenter had expressed exactly what he was thinking.
"Yes, yes, if the child is not educated well, the parents have to bear the main responsibility."
A hint of cruelty flashed across his evil black face.
"Then the sins created by the son should be repaid by Lao Tzu...... That's the way to go. β
β¦β¦
The frame switches again, becoming a kind of perspective for shooting video.
In the video, a tall middle-aged man is walking this way from not far away.
"Look, big guy, come and see, that person is the father of the school violator."
Mike's voice turns into a narrator, introducing:
"Parents who will educate that kind of little beast must also be a morally corrupt person, we should properly teach this kind of person a lesson, so that they can remember it for a long time."
At this time, as Mike approached the middle-aged man, the other party also noticed Mike.
"Why are you again? I don't want to see you, disappear from my eyes! β
The middle-aged man looked very angry, waving his fist and yelling at Mike in a rough voice.
"Hey, wait...... Did you take dynamite today? On behalf of the majority of netizens, I have come to seek justice for the victims......"
Mike was not ashamed.
"Justice? What is justice? β
The middle-aged man looked confused, and noticed the DV machine in Mike's hand, and immediately reached over angrily to hold down the camera.
"What are you shooting? Put that thing down! β
"Why don't you give me a hand or foot, you can't afford to break this thing."
In the shot, Mike shouts as he raises an iron baseball bat.
"What do you want to do? Don't come here, I'll call the police if you come again! β
The middle-aged man's face was vigilant, and his voice raised a few points.
"Call the police? Hmph, it doesn't work to call the police, a cunning scum like you should be punished in a violent way if you make a mistake! β
As he spoke, the baseball bat was already slamming towards the middle-aged man's head.
Mike swore while scolding his stick.
"I'm doing this to uphold justice, and it's also to vent my anger on the boy who was bullied by your son."
"I represent the wishes of all netizens."
Mike let out a somewhat maniacal laugh as he was violent.
"This is a sanction from justice!"
