Three days later, in the middle of the night.

Sheriff Gordon is in a bad mood right now.

Or rather, Sheriff Gordon hasn't been in a better mood since he chuckled in his heart a few days ago.

It's been three days, but there is still no progress in the search for jigsaws, and he has led a team to inspect more than half of the railway lines in Gotham without finding any trace of jigsaws, and he can't even stop the live broadcast of jigsaws.

Helpless.

Jigsaw is arrogant, but it does have enough arrogant strength.

Even the technicians of the Wayne Group have no way to hack with the jigsaw, according to the original words of Fox, the president of the Wayne Group, the other party's hacking technology has become desperately strong, and they can't even find any traces of the invasion.

Compared to the manhunt, this is the most lethal for the upper echelons of the Gotham Police Department, the kidnapping live broadcast of the jigsaw will never fade if it does not end for a day, and it also makes them even more incompetent, if it lasts for a few days, Gordon, who took the initiative to take over this incident, may be pushed out to perform his role as a scapegoat in front of the media.

Da!

With a soft sound, Sergeant Gordon, who frowned, sighed and turned on a huge high beam on the roof of the building with a deep sense of weakness.

This is a bat lamp, and a black sign in the shape of a bat is attached to the center of the lamp, so when the light is turned on, it forms a huge bat mark in the night sky.

As the name suggests, this bat lantern is used to summon Batman.

(It's up to you, bat...... Ahem, please ignore it. ）

……

"It's the fourth day......

Arthur Jackman lay on the floor of the 'rental house', absentmindedly nibbling on bread while glancing at the countdown on his clothes.

There was no clock in the cell that the jigsaw had set him up for, so the countdown screen on his clothes became his only tool for estimating time.

This is the third piece of clothing he has purchased, and the first two pieces of clothing have directly turned into strips of rags at the moment when the countdown has reached zero, and these strips of rags have also been used by him to make a simple bed.

After a few days, he has basically adapted to life in this prison, and although he is very tired from exercising vigorously every day, earning ten Skull Coins a day is enough to sustain his life, and he even eats steak once...... It was the most delicious piece he'd ever eaten in his life.

For a few days, he wondered if he was suffering from Stockholm syndrome, and he had the illusion that he was living here very well and at ease.

Aside from having to earn Skull Coins to buy food, Jigsaw didn't do anything abusive about him...... Uh, well, actually, there are, on the first day I went back to the accommodation area, because I forgot to pay the rent, the ice fog gushing out everywhere made him feel a chill, and almost didn't turn into an ice sculpture.

However, after he threw two skull coins into a coin in the room, the fog subsided, and as long as the rent was paid on time, the cold would not gush out, and although it was still very cold when he slept, it was not much of a problem after wearing a thick cotton coat.

If there is anything bad about it, it is that it is too boring, completely isolated from modern society, without any entertainment, not even a person to talk to, and the rest of his time can only be spent in a daze except for the usual daily trip to the work area.

This also caused him to think a lot in the past few days, like a dying old man reminiscing about the past, all kinds of regrets, waving, and thinking came to his heart, and he doubted that he might be able to change careers to become a philosopher if he continued like this.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, it looks like you're doing well here, you're adapting to it!"

The sound of jigsaws rang out again after a few days.

The hoarse voice that had made him angry now shocked Arthur Jackman's spirits - he hadn't spoken to anyone for two or three days.

Arthur Jackman hurriedly asked, "Now that I'm used to it, shouldn't you let me out?" ”

"Don't worry, your assessment is not over yet, I will let you out when it is over."

The jigsaw voice calmly narrated: "Next, your assessment will enter the next stage and increase the difficulty, this is also the final stage, you can successfully get out of here and usher in a new life." ”

"Come on, then."

Arthur Jackman was not afraid, his eyes were resolute, and there was even a heroic aura on his body.

No matter what tricks the jigsaw was going to play, he had to get out of here alive.

"After a few days of special training in the jigsaw training class, you have barely mastered the ability to survive independently......"

Jigsaw changed to the tone of the movie-like narration when he introduced the rules of the game before: "But as a man, it's not enough to support yourself, it used to be Mina Chang who provided for you, and now it's time for you to support her." ”

"What do you mean?"

Arthur Jackman's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and his original resoluteness and courage only lasted for a moment, and then he completely disappeared without a trace, and roared anxiously like a dragon that had been touched by the scales: "Bastard, if you dare to touch Mina, I will never let you go, what means are there to rush at me!" ”

"She can provide you with food, clothing, shelter and transportation for a few years, and now you are not willing to support him for a few days?"

The jigsaw remained unfazed by Arthur Jackman's roar, and his voice became muffled.

Arthur Jackman immediately roared when he heard this: "It's not a question of willingness, bastard, you are kidnapping!" If you're coming at me something, aren't you just going to make it harder? It's the same with double copies of Skull Coins! Don't touch Mina! ”

"That's not going to work, only pressure can make you transform."

The voice of the jigsaw sounded again: "However, given the small reward I promised you earlier, I can give you a chance to choose." ”

"What chance?"

"The first option, I'll send Mina Chang to accompany you, if you don't earn enough money, she may starve to death and freeze to death, of course, as long as you are willing to work a little harder, you may also have the best of both worlds, and have a perfect world for two and usher in a new life."

"I said you weren't allowed to touch her!"

Arthur Jackman directly rejected the first option after hearing this, he was already a scumbag before, and now if he still lets Mina fall into the hands of the jigsaw, what is the difference between it and a brute.

Although the jigsaw promised to let him out, it was only a verbal promise, and his life and death were up to him when he entered here.

"The second option is that I'll send a doll to replace Mina Chang, but I'll put a powerful bomb inside the doll that will level the entire chamber, and you'll have to throw eleven coins into the doll's mouth every day or the bomb will detonate."

The sound of jigsaws sounded.

Hearing this, Arthur Jackman fell silent.

His physique is very poor, very poor.

If you just rely on strenuous exercise to squeeze sweat from your body, earning ten Skull Coins a day is already the limit, and after exercising, you will be paralyzed when you move, and it will be difficult to insist on doing it a second time, even if the first few times are barely completed, what about after that?

Three meals a day, according to the minimum consumption, he also has to spend six skull coins a day, plus he needs to buy a piece of clothing every two days, and if he has to put skull coins into the puppet, there is basically nothing left.

This is still the minimum consumption, strenuous exercise every day, but also to squeeze sweat, if you only eat bread and water, it won't take long for the body to be unable to bear, not to mention starvation, exhaustion and freezing to death, as long as the body can't support the strenuous exercise twice a day, it is when he is blown to pieces.

And if you just choose to let Mina come in, it's actually not stressful, Mina doesn't need to exercise if you can last a day with one or two loaves of bread, plus the clothes are only about ten coins for two days, you can achieve it with a little effort, and even realistically, if he just wants to live, Mina will not endanger his life even if she dies.

Whether it's from a rational point of view or a realistic point of view, letting Mina come over is the most correct option.

"You're a devil...... The devil who plays with people's hearts......"

Eventually, Arthur Jackman smiled bitterly.
