Eight o'clock in the evening.

According to the practice of many TV stations, this time period is called prime time.

Because most people have already entered their personal time after work during this time period, the number of viewers is higher, and the advertising price is more expensive.

Sheriff Gordon, who had been busy all day, lay tired on the couch and turned on the TV at the same time - not to watch the show, but just to make the sound of the TV more lively.

"Hello and welcome to ......"

The TV turned on, and it seemed that it was just in time for the opening of a variety show, and a blonde female host with plump hips and thin waist spoke enthusiastically about the opening remarks.

Zizi!

However, the hostess's opening remarks were only halfway through when the TV screen shook and abruptly changed to another picture.

Dim dim light with background shrouded in shadows and darkness...... is a good variety show, and it seems to have become a supernatural show in the midnight file in an instant.

"Welcome to ...... Jigsaw Theatre. ”

A low, hoarse voice sounded, and a figure slowly stepped out of the shadows and into the dim light.

The first thing that catches people's attention is the puppet mask on the face of the figure, the material of the wood is also visible to the naked eye, with white paint as the base, and red paint outlines the facial features, which looks weird and terrifying under the eerie set and uncanny valley effect.

Beneath the puppet mask is a meticulously groomed suit...... No, it should be said that the tuxedo, but the hem that is not as exaggerated as the traditional tuxedo, should be a style that has evolved after some adjustments, and at a glance it is not much different from the suit, and only those who know about it and pay careful attention can distinguish it.

"I'm the host of this show, you can call me - jigsaw."

After walking in front of the camera, a deep and hoarse voice continued to sound, and the puppet mask man who claimed to be a jigsaw said softly: "First of all, please allow me to introduce the special guests of this show......"

The camera cuts and the picture on the TV changes from a gloomy room to a bright but empty room.

The room was sealed on all sides, and the walls were covered in a layer of bright silver metal plates, and the only thing that could intersect with the outside world was a small window that reflected the darkness of the night and a closed metal door that led to nowhere.

On the floor in the middle of the room lay a young man with blond hair and a scruffy beard, who was visibly unconscious, with his eyes closed and his wrists and neck visibly purple.

This is...... Kidnap!!!

Gordon chuckled in his heart, and he quickly judged the situation, and the original tiredness was instantly swept away.

……

A paralyzing sensation like a static strike caused Arthur Jackman to wake up from his coma.

A large white ball of light greets you...... Oh no, I read it wrong, it's actually the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling.

"Damn, where is this?"

His eyes were still a little misty, he shook his head and got up, and looked around, and saw that it was a silver-white patch, with steel plates on all sides, and a door in the direction facing him, and a palm-sized window on the left, and this window was the same as in the prison, and the position was higher than his height.

"The person in front of me is the special guest of this time, Arthur Jackman, a ...... Scumbag? Or waste wood? Well, that's up to you. ”

"Arthur Jackman came from a very ordinary civilian family......"

A low, hoarse voice sounded out of nowhere.

The owner of the voice is very good at telling stories, and his unhurried tone is unconsciously engaging, vividly depicting the life of a white boy.

If it were a different scene, sitting in front of the TV, if the protagonist of the story was not him, Arthur Jackman might be very happy to serve a cup of coffee, sit quietly and listen to the story, and analyze the characters and creative skills of the story.

But there is no if, the protagonist of the story is himself, and it is also about his experience in recent years, eating soft rice, ridiculous self-esteem, unrealistic dreams of getting rich, immersed in fantasy, eager to succeed but unwilling to put in the effort......

To be honest, he spoke very thoroughly, this person really knew him, and even his psychological changes were clearly figured out, which made him feel chills in his heart.

Even with his ability to write a complete work in countless years, it is not difficult to hear from the perspective of this voice...... The other party is not friendly.

"Bastard! Who are you! ”

"Let me go, you're kidnapping!"

"Shut up! Shut up! Stop it! ”

Perhaps it was the fragility of his heart that had been punctured, or perhaps the last fig leaf had been torn off, Arthur Jackman yelled in exasperation, kicking the wall in frustration, and the metal plates made a loud noise.

But...... No one responded.

As if he was an inconsequential clown, the low and hoarse voice didn't pay attention to him at all, just told his story in an orderly manner, listed his crimes, and teared his heart a little bit with cruelty, and revealed what he didn't want to think about and wanted to escape, and even showed it to the world.

He could only pound the wall weakly, and finally he didn't even have the strength to do so, and sat down against the wall, covering his ears with his hands, trying not to listen to the hoarse tone like a magic sound.

"Arthur Jackman."

I don't know how long it had been, but after an extremely long time for him, a low, hoarse voice finally remembered him again.

"Who are you, you bastard, let me go!"

Arthur Jackman was shaken and roared again.

However, the low and hoarse voice still ignored him, and said to himself: "Arthur Jackman, haven't you been breaking up with your girlfriend recently and kicking her out...... Now you have succeeded, with my help. ”

"You're in the single life you've always dreamed of, but unfortunately you're told that your girlfriend paid the rent, so you're now kicked out and have to survive on your own."

"Don't worry, it's not kidnapping, the kind jigsaw won't abuse you, it's just teaching you to learn to live independently, you can take this place as such, huh...... Independent Survival Training Course? ”

"Here, you will learn to earn money to meet your own ...... of clothing, food, shelter and transportation"

Arthur Jackman held back his panic and said in a hurry: "I will, I already will, let me go, I will definitely make my own money in the future, I ...... I'll pay you tuition...... Damn, how am I going to make money if you lock me up here? ”
