Chapter 101: What Kind of Person Was He?
Monica looked at Ross and said, “That may not be the case. It may be complicated or simple. The Death Inquisitor has set it up before, but for this mechanism, you need to discover it yourself and find out the rules yourself. Compared to the one just now where you could reach out and grab a water pipe on the left, this one is much more complicated. That one just made use of most people’s right-hand priority law and cognitive inertia, so it set the water pipe on the left to move.”
Monica analyzed it a little, but she wasn’t sure if there were any more traps. After all, the Death Inquisitor was a cunning fox.
Judy said, “This setting is not bad. According to what you said, if you want to pass the game, you have to lift the steel frame to the highest position. Then, the sharp blade will be pushed to the highest position, and Zangwei’s face will be cut off. If you want to live, you have to give up your face. I like this design!”
On the other side of the live broadcast, Loggins could not calm down his excitement for a moment.
He was so excited that he even forgot the pain. Finally, he won once and broke the Death Inquisitor’s trap.
This proved that the Death Inquisitor could not always win.
After all, he was just a mere human, and humans had their weaknesses.
He, Loggins, would pick himself up wherever he fell today. He wanted to save people from the Death Inquisitor in front of tens of millions of spectators.
It was time to maintain his dignity!
It was time to maintain the dignity of the police!
How could he not be excited?
At that time, Jack, who was in a dark corner, saw the unconcealable excitement on Loggins’ face. The corners of Jack’s mouth rose slightly, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
He only saw the first trap, but his eyes were blinded by excitement, and he overlooked the second trap.
When Zangwei found out that he was saved, he also let out a sigh of relief.
“Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and save me!”
Loggins looked at Zangwei’s relaxed expression and said coldly, “You might not have understood. If you want to come down from there alive, you have to leave a face on it.”
Hearing this, Zangwei’s body suddenly trembled, and his mind finally figured out what was going on.
“F*ck! Death Judge, you’re crazy! F*ck your mother!”
“Are you willing to leave your face on it?” Loggins’ tone became very cold.
Zangwei finally became timid and whispered, “Isn’t there another way? You just need to lift the steel frame and hold on for a few minutes. As long as you survive, we’ll win.”
“I’ll try my best,” Loggins said as he sighed. He wasn’t sure, but he had to try. If it really didn’t work, he would just lift the steel frame to the highest position at the last moment.
Thinking of this, Loggins put his shoulder under the steel frame again and looked at the closed transparent glass cover.
Creak!
The steel frame was lifted again and the steel groove was stretched outwards.
It was as expected!
That’s right! It was like this!
Intense pain began to spread through Loggins’ ribs, but it could not stop his current excitement.
“One, two, three...eight, nine.”
Loggins counted.
Clang!
A loud sound was heard and the steel frame fell.
Huff! Huff! Huff!
Loggins panted heavily. The steel frame was too heavy, and it was getting harder and harder for him to hold on.
“1,2,3...7.”
Clang!
Another loud sound rang out as the steel frame fell again.
This time, it was shorter by two seconds.
Loggins felt that his body had become very light, and the blood on his ribs was still flowing. There was no way for him to recover his strength so quickly, and his body was already feeling exhausted.
“Quick! Continue! Don’t put it down! It’s going to stab me soon! Ahhhh!” Zangwei roared crazily. Looking at the sharp steel pipes, a deep fear welled up in his heart.
At this time, the Zero Major Crimes Team was watching the live broadcast carefully. They were all frowning.
“I think I know the secret of this game.”
“AH? What secret?”
“Are there any other traps?”
Ross nodded and said, “That’s right. There’s another trap. Do you remember what the Death Judge said after Loggins escaped? He said, ‘You’re very brave and decisive. I hope you can keep it up. This will be very helpful for your next game.’”
“I remember that. What’s wrong with that sentence? Is there a problem?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong with that sentence? Are you under too much pressure?”
Monica, who was at the side, was also at a loss. As a psychologist, she did not think there was anything strange about it.
Ross continued, “Courage and decisiveness are the keys to completing the second level of the game. The setting of the second level of the game caused a problem. In fact, it was impossible for Loggins to hold the steel frame for five minutes. The only solution was to decisively lift the steel frame to the highest point, peel off Zangwei’s face, and save his life. But it’s too late now. Zangwei is dead for sure.”
Anthony shook his head and said, “No, isn’t there still time? If we can’t hold on any longer, it won’t be too late to lift the steel frame to the highest point at the last moment.”
“Everyone thinks so, so the Death Judge warned us to remember his words and not be deceived by time, but all of us were still deceived.” Ross looked at everyone.
Seeing that everyone was still very confused, he did not understand what he meant, so he continued to explain, “In the two close-ups just now, you may not have noticed that after each time the steel channel was pulled apart, the distance between the steel channels would decrease a little. Now, the gap between the steel channels is much wider than before.”
“If my deduction is correct, even if Loggins lifts the steel troughs to the highest position, the two steel bars will not fall down because the distance between the steel troughs is too small. Zangwei has no chance of survival. He’s dead!”
After hearing Ross’s explanation, everyone’s eyes widened. Even Monica, who was standing beside him, had a look of disbelief on her face.
It was another thought trap!
Out of 100 people, perhaps 100 of them would not decisively lift up the steel frame and have the flesh of their faces peeled off. This was because the tortured person would scream, and the person who carried out the rescue would also be in greater pain. Everyone felt that they were lucky, so they wanted to persevere, using the simplest and least harmful method.
But it was this very common thought that gave the Death Judge the opportunity to design a thought trap.
Why?
Why can he set up such complex thinking traps every time?
And he even reminded the tortured person several times.
He was too confident and too arrogant!
Meanwhile, no one has been able to determine even a single flaw of his.
‘Death Inquisitor, what kind of person are you?!’ Ross thought.
