Livestream: The Adjudicator of Death Chapter 72

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

Task Force Zero was getting busy in their office at the New York Police Department.

Hart took a sip of coffee and said, “The Death Judge has changed the way of the game again. However, the rules of the game this time look very simple. It's just prolonged killing.”

“Isn't it better this way? It's simple and direct. Everything is obvious. The public also wants to see these scumbags die,”Judy added.

“That's not right. If it was just a simple massacre, then the Death Judge wouldn't even bother to broadcast it live. He could have killed them directly in the dark. That way, we wouldn't be able to find him. But what he wants is to play with the criminals. In other words, he doesn't want them to die just die. What he wants is the torturing process. Every time he broadcasts, it's a show of technology. He's showing off to us and to the audience. He is satisfied when he gets everyone's admiration.”

Monica returned her gaze to the live broadcast screen then said, “The reason why you think the rules of the game are simple this time is because the Death Judge has hidden the true rules of the game. In the previous games, he would clearly tell you what to do, but this time, he only said what the outcome would be. This time, not only is he testing the courage of these people, but he's also testing their intelligence.”

“I agree with that. Do you remember what he said? There are many traps in the room. Every choice they make requires a small sacrifice. This time is no exception.”

“Do you see the bracket under the egg-shaped iron cage? There is a device there. It seems to be a glassware. Unfortunately, there is no close-up, so I can't see what it is. But I guess the key to cracking the game lies there. But this time, they have to find it themselves.”

They returned their attention to the screen of the live broadcast room.

Gardner and the others were very anxious in the iron cage.

“F*ck! There's so little space in the iron cage. How can we avoid the chainsaw? Do we have to squeeze into one of the two semicircles? Is it possible?”

“Even if it's impossible, we have to try!” Kanasan thought that she was relatively small and could try, but when she squeezed her body to one side, she realized that no matter which angle she used, she wouldn't fit. Unless she folded her body or took her head off, it was impossible for her to pass through.

“Ah ah ah! It's impossible! The size of this iron cage is not big enough for people to squeeze to one side!” Kanasan looked up in despair. She glanced at the chainsaw that was slowly descending. The sawtooth was spinning rapidly. It was very scary.

Beline was sobbing loudly. “I'm really going to die here. What should I do? I don't want to die!” Belina curled up in the iron cage.

“F*ck! What are you crying for? Stop crying because you're not dead yet!” Ajay, who was beside her, cursed angrily. Then, he said, “There's another way. We should try our best to squeeze our bodies to one side of the iron cage and put our legs on the other side. At most, we can have our legs cut off, but at least we won't die!”

“Ah!” After hearing what Ajay said, Belina cried even harder.

“This is too painful. I don't want to cut off my legs. I don't want to!”

“F*ck you! Don't cry anymore. You're making my head hurt with all your crying!” On the other side, Madeleine, who was far away, also began to curse angrily.

It was a time-limited escape, and everyone was feeling muddled and very fearful.

However, compared to their irascibility, Gardner was very quiet. He was kneeling quietly in the iron cage. He did not struggle or speak, as if he was thinking about something.

“We can definitely escape.”

Gardner took a deep breath and his gaze fell on the device under the iron cage. Then, his gaze moved to the metal cage. His brain had been thinking at high speeds.

Then, Gardner stretched his hand out of the iron cage and reached down to the glass container, but he quickly withdrew his hand. The corner of his mouth moved and he snorted.

“Stop arguing,” Gardner roared. The other six people were stunned and kept quiet.

“Gardner, I don't want to die. You're so smart that you became a doctor. Quickly think of a way!” Belina said while wiping her tears.

Gardner sneered and said, “We won't die in this round, but we will be injured. Look carefully at this iron cage. It's just below. The two iron bars in the middle can actually be pushed to both sides. However, these two iron bars are now welded together. As long as we break the welded part and push the iron bars to both sides, we can get a large space at the bottom. Then, we can squeeze all of our bodies underneath so that the chainsaw doesn't hit us.”

The others quickly looked at the two iron bars and shook them with their hands. At that moment, the camera in the live broadcast room switched to a clear close-up.

“The welding seems to be very strong. How do we open it? We can't open it with just our hands.” Ajay slapped his hands hard twice, but it didn't work at all. He even slapped his hands so hard that it hurt.

“Yeah! How do we open it? We can't use our teeth to open it, can we?” Trevishan asked anxiously.

With a very serious expression, Gardner said, “The Death Judge has already prepared it for us. There is a groove in the part where the two iron rods are welded. Do you see the glassware under the cage? I just stretched my hand over to feel it. There is a stream of hot air on the glassware. I guessed that the glassware should be filled with strong acid. Now you understand. The Death Judge wants us to use strong acid to corrode the part where the iron rods are welded so that we can escape from the chainsaw.”

“Ah? But that is strong acid! How do we use strong acid to get the iron rod?”

“What do you think? Our shoes are gone. What do you think the Death Inquisitor wants us to use?”

Madeleine's face was heavy. With a trembling voice, she said, “Hand…The Death Inquisitor wants us to use our hands to get it.”

“Use our hands? Then our hands will be dissolved by the strong acid? I don't want to!” Belina widened her eyes in horror. She had used strong sulfuric acid to dissolve the body of a homeless man in the past. After the strong acid was poured on the body, blood bubbles would instantly appear on the body. Then, white smoke would rise, and the flesh eventually decomposes and dissolves. As she thought of the horrifying scene of the body dissolving, tears immediately flowed down her face.

“Amazing! Judge! You even thought of this!”

“In that case, what's next is strong acid hand washing?”

“Strong acid hand washing? I won't even dare to wash my hands anymore. In the future, whenever I see a soap dispense, I'll wonder if it's strong acid that will flow out!”

“Strong acid? I wonder how scary the scene will be. Just thinking about it gives me the chills!”

“It's all right. Although strong acid is highly corrosive and can melt human flesh, if they move faster, only a thin layer of their flesh will be dissolved.”

The audience was becoming very excited and was busy sending their theories on what could happen in the following moments.
