Follow current novels on ƒreewebηoveℓ.com.
Now, I’m giving you a chance to make a choice. Your enemy is standing right in front of you, with five iron rings pierced through his limbs and jaw. The iron rings are connected to chains, which are attached to five constricting devices that have now been activated. As time passes, his limbs and head will be mercilessly torn off.
And you don’t need to do anything, just sit quietly in this chair and watch everything happen. Then, you’ll have avenged your deep hatred. But don’t forget, your identity and duties as a police officer will absolutely not allow you to see such a thing happen with your own eyes. If you want to save him, you must find the five keys hidden in this room and use them to open these iron rings.
You only have five minutes to consider.
His life and death are in your hands, now, the game begins.”
As Lin Mo’s words fell, the electronic timer in front of Sofia emitted a “beep beep” sound, starting the tense five-minute countdown.
However, after hearing Lin Mo’s words, Sofia was completely engulfed in extreme shock. Her mind was blank, as if struck by a heavy hammer, entirely unaware that the countdown on the timer had quietly begun.
Her brother is no longer alive?
And the enemy she had been relentlessly pursuing had been by her side all along, even within her sight and under her protection these past few days!
The information Lin Mo revealed was far beyond her imagination, like a bolt from the blue. But deep inside her heart, a voice kept telling her that everything this Dark Law Enforcer said was true!
“No! I don’t believe it! I absolutely don’t believe it!”
It was as if Sofia was denying Lin Mo’s words, or perhaps trying to convince herself. She kept shaking her head, repeating “I don’t believe it” over and over, as if repeating the words could dispel the dreadful doubts within her heart and return everything to the past.
Seeing this scene, the live stream audience couldn’t help but feel a pain within their hearts, and they all began to leave messages in the comments, wanting to comfort Sofia, who was already somewhat broken in the video.
“Oh, this girl is so pitiful. She searched for her brother for so many years, only to receive such cruel news. Not only is her brother dead, but he also encountered such a terrifying ordeal!”
“Yes, that Oscar is simply detestable to the extreme, such a person deserves the harshest punishment!”
“But don’t you think the host is a bit cruel? If she hadn’t been told this, Sofia’s life might have retained a sliver of hope. Now that the host has shattered it all, imagine the pain she must be in.”
“I share the sentiment, even though Sofia now has the chance for revenge, doing so might cost her career as a police officer. Is that really worth it?”
“I don’t see it that way. While we don’t know how Sofia has managed these years, I’m sure she lived not just for herself. The host might have done this to help Sofia find her true self and break free from the past pain.”
Seeing Sofia in this state, Lin Mo also felt a sense of emotion and involuntarily sighed softly.
He knew how tremendous the blow was to Sofia, telling her that her brother had passed was like extinguishing the last glimmer of hope she had held onto for years.
However, on one hand, this was a temporary task issued by the system, and he had to do it as required. On the other hand, Lin Mo genuinely believed that awakening Sofia from those impractical fantasies and having her bravely face reality might also be a form of liberation for her.
Hearing Sofia repeatedly say “I don’t believe it,” Lin Mo realized that subconsciously, she already believed his words, but was merely unable to accept this cruel reality for the time being.
Sofia was so much like the person he used to be before his rebirth, with similar determination and pursuit of justice, equally full of youthful vigor. Yet reality is always so merciless, delivering heavy blows when one is most vulnerable, shattering everything.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo muttered in his heart and summoned the system, saying: “System, show her the video.”
Just as Lin Mo finished speaking, a projection appeared in the live stream, beginning the playback of a video.
In the video, a boy about twelve or thirteen lay on his back on the ground, his face deathly pale and his eyes tightly shut. Upon closer examination, his facial features somewhat resembled Sofia’s. Evidently, this boy no longer showed signs of life.
“Xiao!”
Upon seeing the boy in the video, Sofia instinctively covered her mouth and cried out, her eyes shimmering with crystalline tears, the bright enmeshment of pain and sorrow.
The video did not stop due to Sofia’s cries; it continued to play.
The video showed, not long after, three middle-aged men dressed in suits appearing. Their behavior was as though they were selecting meat at a market, continuously poking and prodding the boy lying on the ground.
The man standing in the middle was none other than Oscar!
In the video, Oscar reached out and fiddled with the boy’s thigh, displaying a disdainful expression. He frowned and said: “What kind of person do you raise? So skinny, definitely no flavor when eaten.”
