Chapter 24: Live Broadcast
Judging from the questions in this exam paper, the core of the exam is a "live broadcast of the death penalty".
Since it was determined that it was in the United States, Dong Scorpion deduced that this should be a state that abolished the death penalty in the United States. Presumably from the exam questions, perhaps because of the rising crime rate, people began to call for the reinstatement of the death penalty. And this year, when the new governor took office, he began to push for a bill to reinstate the death penalty. On the first day of the reinstatement of the death penalty, the governor decided to respond to the wishes of netizens and broadcast live executions to the first batch of death row inmates.
The first batch of death row inmates to be sentenced to death consisted of five in all. The first batch of death row inmates were deliberately selected to be among the most sensational offenders of the past decade, and were sentenced to life imprisonment without parole simply because the state abolished the death penalty. As for how serious the crimes each of these five people committed are not visible in the exam questions, but the death sentences of the five people were live-streamed on Facebook, which is certain. Candidates are asked to write the names of all death row inmates and their crimes during the livestream, as well as the IDs of at least five Facebook users who strongly called for the death penalty livestream on Facebook.
There were several vehicles on the road that had apparently been involved in successive rear-end collisions. Inside the accident vehicle, there was no body in sight. However, Ji Yixuan found a laptop in one of the cars. Then he found out that the laptop still had power.
It seems that the changes in this town have not happened very long.
The laptop exited screensaver mode, and then it was discovered that the owner of the laptop was a Facebook user, and he was browsing Facebook videos before the accident.
"It's ...... Death penalty live? ”
Judging from the display on the notebook, the time in which this world is located is actually 2023. On Facebook's video, there has even been a barrage originating from country Z.
On the video, five death row inmates are dressed in black hoods and ropes, apparently preparing to be hanged!
The last public execution in the history of the United States was in 1936, and the death penalty has not been made public since then. And this time, not only did the state restore the death penalty system, but instead of lethal injection, which is the mainstream of the United States, it used hanging, which was webcast. Judging from the barrage of the video and the comments below, many people have criticized the death penalty by hanging and livestreaming, including some opponents of the death penalty, after all, more than half of the states in the United States have abolished the death penalty. However, the number of supporters is unexpectedly high. Because there were too many barrages, Ji Yixuan simply paused the video to carefully check the barrage. It seems that in order to take care of the candidates, they are temporarily given the ability to listen, speak, read and write English.
In the barrage, the vast majority expressed absolute support for the death penalty. Judging from the barrage and comments, due to the long-term poor control of guns in the United States, the crime rate has increased more and more terrifyingly. The five people who were executed this time were all involved in gun cases.
And just when the video was played to the five people who began to hang them, the picture suddenly went black!
The whole desktop is darkened!
"I'm here, don't worry." Dong Scorpion was very calm and said, "Even if it's Sadako, I can't let her climb out." ”
Although he swore by it, Ji Yixuan still put the notebook on the hood of the car, and protected it in front of Yixin, and gradually retreated.
The reward of prohibiting violence has no effect on ghosts. At this time, you can only count on Dong Scorpion. Although, Ji Yixuan didn't have much hope for Dong Scorpion.
At this time, Dong Scorpion's eyes were full of coldness, staring at the laptop screen. At this time, the computer screen is still dark.
He mentioned "Sadako" just now, but it made everyone have more associations, and they were scared for a while.
However, Dong Scorpion felt that the laptop in front of him gave him an unprecedented weird feeling. There seems to be something evil brewing in it.
Followed by......
A huge pupil appeared on the computer screen!
Seeing this open pupil, Ji Yixuan and Agnes both had grim faces, but only Dong Scorpion had a cruel smile on his face.
Agnes noticed Dong Scorpion's expression...... This gave her a strong sense of weirdness.
Ever since Dong Scorpion awakened the spirit of the spirit, the feeling he gave to Agnes had become colder and colder.
Then, the screen of the laptop in front of me automatically shattered.
Dong Scorpion's sinister smile was put away, and his gaze looked to the other side.
"Someone seems to be coming."
"Anyone?"
"It could be a scout sent by the enemy, or it could be an ordinary resident of the town."
At this moment, they saw two people walking not far away. The two of them were black, and because of the distance and their dark complexion, it was difficult to judge their age for a while, so they were not sure if they were candidates. After all, Gao Ying is not there, and they have no way of judging whether the other party is a candidate. But just in case, Ji Yixuan has already turned on the ban on violence rewards.
"Hands up!"
One of the black men immediately raised his gun when he saw Ji Yixuan and the others.
Looking at the revolver in the black man's hand, Dong Scorpion sneered. With Ji Yixuan here, the role of this firearm is not even comparable to that of a stick. If he had shot them in the head as soon as they met, there might have been a glimmer of chance, but now, it was impossible. Within the scope of Ji Yixuan's prohibition of violence, all actions that can cause harm to others will not be realized. Of course, this is the same for Ji Yixuan and them.
"You just try."
Dong Scorpion's voice was cold.
If he could still control the time, he could have killed these two people with ease.
"You're candidates, aren't you?" One of the black men pointed to the exam paper in Dong Scorpion's hand and said, "You should hide the exam paper." Michael, don't rob me, I'll slaughter these yellow-skinned monkeys first. ”
This sentence of yellow-skinned monkey immediately angered everyone present, including Ji Yixin, who was white in his previous life but has been reincarnated as a citizen of country Z, and Agnes, who is half Chinese. However, in the absence of violence, force cannot be used against them.
Another black man also took out his gun, saying, "Finally, we are lucky, and we found the gun as soon as we entered, where can you strike first." Everyone kills people according to their abilities and takes their rewards! ”
Looking at the two guns, Ji Yixuan and Dong Scorpion didn't have any fear, but just in case, Ji Yixuan still blocked his body intact in front of Yixin, for fear that she would be hurt in the slightest. After all, it's probably possible for the pistol to go off. This reward can only prohibit human violence, and the phenomenon of accidents cannot be stopped.
Subsequently, almost simultaneously, the two blacks were preparing to pull the trigger. But they found out...... No matter what you do, you can't pull the trigger with your hand!
"What the hell is going on?"
"Can't pull the trigger?"
Both blacks felt incredible. Then, Dong Scorpion walked towards the two black men.
"Ji Yixuan, don't forget our agreement."
After Dong Scorpion said this, he had already come to a black man. The black man pointed his gun at Dong Scorpion, but there was no way to shoot!
"Bastard!" He hurriedly began to retreat, while Dong Scorpion walked step by step. So, he simply waved his fist and was about to smash it into Dong Scorpion's face, but as soon as his fist was raised, he couldn't smash it!
"Escape...... Run! ”
Where did the two dare to continue at this time, they immediately turned their heads and prepared to escape!
"Untie it." Agnes said to Ji Yixuan at this time: "Violence prohibits rewards. ”
Ji Yixuan nodded, and then Agnes ran over quickly, and in just an instant, he restrained the hands of the two and grabbed the pistol fiercely!
Without a gun...... Naturally, Agnes could easily handle them. And according to the agreement......
Revolvers, one of which was given to Dong Scorpion. Dong Scorpion took the gun and aimed it at the two black men.
"Please...... Let us go......" At this time, the two black men were frightened, "I can tell you the number of people in our examination room, the location, and the reward. We, we, too, were sent out to find the way......"
Ji Yixuan felt that what they said was also reasonable, and immediately turned on the violent ban reward, first preventing Dong Scorpion from killing them, saying: "Interrogate these two guys separately, and then check their confessions to determine if anyone is lying." ”
"That'...... Can you guarantee that if we tell the truth, we will let us go? The black man named Michael pleaded, "We don't have a chance to draw a reward, and it's useless to kill us......
"People who don't have a reward can survive until now?" However, Dong Scorpion didn't believe a word of their nonsense, and was about to pull the trigger, and found that Ji Yixuan's forbidden violence reward was on.
"Intelligence is also important to us." Ji Yixuan has realized that the candidates are no less than ghosts to them: "As long as they can obtain valid testimony......
"We don't know what reward they have, let them live, who knows what danger will be! Gotta kill them right away! ”
