"Judge Knight Jigsaw? Could it be some superhero who has popped up again? Gotham ...... Looks like Batman haunts, right? ”

Varik returned home exhausted, and before he could take a sip of water, he was interrupted by the sound of his phone.

Now that rogue advertising and promotional text messages are not too widespread, the people of Millican are still very 'simple', worried that it is a friend or customer who will contact them, and Varik checked his phone despite being very emaciated today.

However, it was not the text message he imagined, but an advertising message popped up by unknown software, and it was also written with some terms that he was very unfamiliar with.

Superhero ...... The word finally aroused his remaining curiosity.

"Let's see."

The two-o'clock work and rest every day made Varik feel like he was about to become a machine or a walking corpse, and it was rare to have a trace of curiosity and anticipation in his heart, and Varik didn't want to miss it, so he clicked in along the advertising pop-up window.

After clicking, it automatically jumps to a forum.

Unlike the forums that are very simple when browsing with mobile phones, basically only white frames and blue-black text, this forum that automatically jumps to the past is obviously much more beautiful, and there are many more pictures and patterns, which makes Varik can't help but be more interested.

There are a lot of posts on the forums, and every time they are refreshed, a lot of posts pop up, basically around a character named 'Jigsaw'.

But what caught his attention the most was a post at the top of the table, "Knights of Judgment - Jigsaw; by Arthur Jackman

This story is based on the author's real experience......

He ignored a line of inconspicuous small words, glanced twice, and found that it seemed to be a bored book, and he quietly began to read.

Originally, he was just going to pass the leisure time with a critical eye, but he didn't think about this reading, but he actually indulged in it directly, and he couldn't stop reading the only five chapters, and he came back to his senses, and breathed a long sigh of relief with satisfaction and amazement.

It's a long-lost feeling of excitement.

At the moment of immersion in these words, the troubles of life, numbness and ordinary life seem to have left him, and he is no longer an ordinary Valek, but has turned into a superhero jigsaw, punishing criminals, guiding people to redeem, and fighting wits and courage with all kinds of people......

"What a magnificent life......"

With a long sigh of envy, the text came to an abrupt end, and the boundary between reality and illusion was clear again, and became indestructible—he was still the same ordinary Varik.

Clicking on the reply column, Varik is ready to give this rare piece of encouragement and urging.

It's a pity that this post seems to be set with restrictions that don't allow others to reply and leave messages, and a series of long texts he typed had to be deleted little by little.

Exiting this post, he is ready to see what other people have to say and say, and by the way, he will re-establish a post like them, leaving the author with a little feedback and encouragement.

"Huh? A new chamber for jigsaws? How are these episodes different from what I watched? Could it be that the author has updated again? ”

Clicking on a post published by an unfamiliar ID, after glancing at the content, Varik was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the updated article again with some excitement and anticipation.

However, there was no update, and it was still only the content he had just watched.

He could only guess if the author had also set up other posts, and he refused to let go of every post in the forum.

But every time he read a post, his inner doubts only increased.

"Why are these people's messages so strange, saying that the jigsaw seems to be real, it can't be that these people are so addicted that they can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality, right?"

Thinking of the feeling he had just felt when he read it, Varik couldn't help but feel a little more suspicious in his heart.

Finally, after clicking on a post of "Jigsaw and Jigsaw", his suspicions dissipated instantly, and his original doubts were solved.

"Jigsaw is a superhero that actually exists in Gotham City?"

"The author who wrote this book turned out to be a scumbag who regretted being punished by a jigsaw?"

Varik's face was full of shock, the jigsaw in that book turned out to be real? Or was it written by someone who experienced it firsthand?

Isn't this really a special promotional ploy for a certain movie?

With excitement or panic, he hurriedly rushed to his desk, turned on the computer, and entered the URL left in the post with a trembling hand.

The videos, all of which were recorded about jigsaws, and a large part of them were the experiences of Arthur Jackman, the author of the book in the forum.

After a moment's hesitation, Varik temporarily dropped the title of Arthur Jackman, clicking on the latest one based on the video's publication date.

When the video opens, what catches your eye is the same jigsaw as described.

Puppet masks, a dark background, dim lights in front of the camera, and an eerie atmosphere...... The real scene is even more creepy than the author describes.

"Welcome to ...... Jigsaw Theater, I'm the host of this show, you can call me Jigsaw. ”

"First of all, due to the special nature of the Lost Lamb recently, the subsequent picture may be a bit cruel and bloody, so please leave the audience consciously under the age of 18 and the audience with weak psychological tolerance."

The jigsaw used a joking tone, but the hoarse and low, even faint sound like the friction of sawdust was really not pleasant, but made people feel chills down their backs.

"As is customary, let's start with the special guests of this show...... Sheldon Louise! ”

"Sheldon Louise is a successful businessman...... At least it was, and now, he is a weakling, a weak person who chooses to escape and commit suicide after going bankrupt and indebted. ”

"Overwhelmed by bankruptcy and debt, he wanted to escape it all, leaving his wife, children and parents behind and jumping from a tall building...... Unfortunately, however, I picked him up. ”

"Next, I need to make him realize the preciousness of life again, and usher in a new life and redemption ......."

At the end of an opening scene, the scene also switches to a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body but a haggard face in a metal secret room.

The whole video is not very long, but as the jigsaw opens with it, it is very bloody.

The middle-aged man was placed with all kinds of lethal mechanisms on his body by a jigsaw, and the keys to dismantle these mechanisms were hidden in strong acids, boxes mixed with various poisonous insects, and even surgically implanted into the middle-aged man's stomach.

Kidnap! Force others to self-harm!

If it had been another moment, this kind of vicious behavior would have frightened Varrick long ago, but thinking that the real purpose of the jigsaw was to lead people to salvation, he still continued to watch it with a numb scalp.

The middle-aged man kept begging, roaring, hysterical, facing the keys that he had to torture and mutilate before he could get them, this man was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, crying profusely.

However, as the various mechanisms on his body approached the countdown to death, he finally moved under the choice between death and injury.

The hand was put into the strong acid, corroded to the point of pain and wailing pits, stretched into the box of poisonous insects, the whole body was swollen from the bite, and the stitches on the stomach were torn open by the fear, and the sutures on the stomach were pulled into the stomach......

This scene is simply shocking to everyone, in addition to disgust and fear, there is also the endless despair like facing the abyss.

"Wait, he'...... Didn't you want to die in the first place? I jumped from the roof......"

Varrick couldn't bear to watch it anymore and was about to turn off the video, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind that made him stunned.

This choice between death and torture and self-harm is brutal and the images are bloody, but why did Sheldon go to get the keys?

He couldn't wait to die, he had already jumped from the roof, and at this time, if he wanted to die, he just lay on the ground and waited for the jigsaw to kill him, why did he have to be tortured?

Sheldon seems to have completely forgotten this, and now he is only subconsciously working hard for the 'living' that he had given up, and even actively going through very painful torture in order to live.

"Desire to survive! In this way, the jigsaw is stimulating and strengthening his desire to survive! ”

Realizing this, Valek's eyes flashed with bright colors.

Although these punishments for obtaining the keys are painful, they are not fatal, or even disabled, but Sheldon's desire to survive has been completely aroused.

Would a person who can endure so much pain in order to live easily commit suicide? Or rather, does he still want to die?

Most of the suicides by jumping off the building are just impulsive, and there is no room for pain and regret once the eyes are closed.

But after experiencing the fear of dying for a long time and the experience of surviving all kinds of difficulties and tortures, I'm afraid no one will want to commit suicide, right?

After that, as long as Sheldon survives, it will usher in true salvation and new life!

"Sure enough."

With the excitement of 'seeing through the puzzle', Varik skips all kinds of torture and fast-forwards the video to the end.

Sheldon was covered in scars, but the lethal mechanism had been removed, and he was facing a door that was shining with bright sunlight, and his eyes were full of luck and ecstasy after surviving a life-and-death crisis.

"Congratulations, you've cleared the Jigsaw Chamber, and it seems that you don't want to die as much as you thought."

"Originally, you were not even afraid of death, why should you be afraid of poverty and debt, the worst result is just death......

"I hope you can remember today's experience and welcome your new life."

The jigsaw summed up in a low, hoarse voice.

Sheldon, who was still immersed in the joy and excitement of a successful escape, was stunned when he heard this, and stood at the door of the secret room sluggishly, not moving for a long time.

"I thank you for your salvation, but I also curse you devil!"

Sheldon grinned, raised his middle finger with his back to the door of the chamber, and burst out of the chamber door laughing.

The laughter is loud and the emotions contained are complex.

Even Valek, who is not good at reading words and feelings, can hear the joy of the rest of his life, the determination and courage to face any predicament, and the indifference and revenge of life and death.

The picture is also frozen, and the video that is not too long is completely played.

"I don't know if jigsaw joints accept independent registration?"

Varik stared at the computer for a long time, and a thought came to his mind that even he felt like he had gone crazy.

But this thought has been completely uncontrollable since it came out.

He is an office worker, an ordinary office worker.

Since childhood, he has lived obediently according to the trajectory planned by his parents and teachers, and has been a nerd.

After graduation, live according to the fate of the 'majority' of people, and become a screw in the big machine of human society.

Go to work and go home, it is always two points and one line, there is no entertainment, and dreams and edges have long been completely wiped out by reality.

I don't know when he felt that he was dead, and he had become a cold robot, just living numbly every day, living like a walking corpse, with no goal, no passion, no expectations, and was tied to the machine of human society day after day.

It's a regular part of most people's lives now, but ...... This is not the life he wants.

Everyone wants to live a colorful life, but the reality is not so many ups and downs in the movie, and the removal of various invisible shackles on the body can only be imagined in the mind.

Maybe when you don't sleep late at night, you will be stunned and make up your mind again and again, but the next day you still have to act honestly as the numb screw in order to survive, for your wife and children, and for your parents.

Jigsaws may be able to change that!

It is not to help him make up his mind to break free from the shackles, but to let him regain his passion for the numb life.

Now the so-called boring numbness is actually just because the idle egg hurts, in other words, those ancestors who lived in the ancient society, in order to be able to eat a full meal, they have to do their best, a white bread can be happy and satisfied for a long time.

He understands these truths very well, and he has read countless books of Chicken Soup for the Soul, but no matter how simple and straightforward the truth is, the words and understanding are completely different.

Just like looking at the autobiography of a person's tragic experience and becoming that person himself, the former is just a story that has no nutrition, and even despises and gloates from God's perspective, and only the latter can personally experience the tragedy and changes in mentality and belief.

And jigsaws ...... It can make him appreciate the preciousness of life.

What is the meaning of being alive?

No, there is no need for meaning to live, and being able to survive is the greatest meaning.

"Damn, I must be crazy, and if I survive, I must curse you, the devil."
