Chapter 18 18. Justice Sanctions

The third "single-plank bridge" is more difficult to walk than the second.

In addition to the wire blocking the way, a sharp blade-shaped pendulum hangs from the ceiling, swinging back and forth in the forward direction.

Under the premise of maintaining balance, Bai Ye had to be careful of these pendulum attacks.

However, as his heart rate rose steadily, his ability to control his body also reached a terrifying level.

Therefore, it actually took him less time to pass the third 'single-plank bridge' than the second bridge...

——Perfect body balance increases your cautious posture by 50 proficiency.

——Your cautious attitude has been raised to level 1.

(Caution Stance LV1: Hearing +20%, Vision +20%. When hiding, camouflage +10%, non-frontal interaction with the target has a 20% chance of being ignored, footsteps are reduced by 10%, and the duration of traces is reduced by 10%. Speed ​​-40%.)
When boarding the third platform, Bai Ye also received a reminder to upgrade his cautious attitude.

The gain after the stance upgrade has slightly increased the movement speed in the cautious stance...

'what? '

When he bent down to pick up the box on the ground, Bai Ye immediately noticed the strangeness of the box.

' Seems a little heavier than the first two boxes. '

It may be difficult for ordinary people to notice this if they do not hold the two boxes in their hands and compare them.

But Bai Ye, whose senses had been strengthened, noticed something strange as soon as he took the box.

He opened the wooden box, and the winder and red velvet lining inside seemed to be fine.

'The weight seems to be concentrated at the bottom of the box? '

Bai Ye turned the box over and inspected it, and there was nothing wrong with the bottom of the box.

But when he tore off the red velvet lining with his hands, he noticed a large 'X' was drawn on the bottom of the box with a marker.

'No one can survive, follow the direction of the heart to find, X is the hope of life! '

He immediately recalled the handwritten sentence on the strange piece of paper sandwiched among the 100 'quotes'.

That sentence carries a certain hint, a bit like a clue left by someone who participated in the design of the death game.

Now there is a mysterious X in the box, does it mean that the so-called "clue to life" is hidden in this box?

Bai Ye reached out and knocked on the inside of the box twice, and what came back was a crisp sound unique to hollow objects.

'Is there something in it? '

He squeezed the bottom of the box with his fingers and pushed it through with only a little effort.

After cleaning up the box debris, the bottom of the box becomes a bare square frame.

The frame has a dull luster, and the material is a special alloy by visual inspection, which feels quite firm to the touch.

- found in the item...

——You got [Lightweight Alloy Frame].

【Lightweight alloy frame】

[Type: Uncommon item]

[Special effects: Unknown, need to be firm. 】

【Load: 3】

[Whether the scene can be brought out: No]

[Remarks: Those who can save a life are often those inconspicuous gadgets. 】

'The method of use is not stated in the introduction? '

Bai Ye checked the item information on both sides repeatedly, but couldn't figure out how this item could be related to 'Hope of Life'.

'Take it first. '

The game system will not set some irrelevant things. I don't know how to use it because it is not the time to use it.

He carried the metal frame in his hand. Before there were no luggage or props, the objects picked up in the scene could only be carried by the player in his hand, or stored in the pocket of his clothes...

Because behind the third platform is a bare wall, with no way or door.

Whether it is to continue the symbolic 'rescue' of Black Mike, or to go to the next scene in troubled waters, Bai Ye has only one choice to go back the same way.

He then boarded the 'single-plank bridge' again and walked back towards the 'Cold-Blooded Headshot' device.

……

……

Behind a surveillance camera, in a dark room, in front of several monitors.

The scar-faced man in a black and red cloak was staring at the surveillance screen with frowning eyebrows.

In the picture, Bai Ye returned the same way after easily obtaining 3 'winder winders'. Now he has crossed two 'single-plank bridges' and returned to the vicinity of the death device.

There was a deep look of surprise in the man's eyes, as if he was in disbelief at Bai Ye's excellent body balance ability.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a few fuzzy black shadows flashing across the surveillance video in the lower right corner.

The scar-faced man seemed to realize something, his face became serious, and he muttered, 'Damn, it came so fast'.

He quickly turned on the other two closed surveillance videos, and then fixed his eyes on the two video images with a trace of anxiety in his eyes.

Not long after, in one of the surveillance screens, two figures wearing pig-head masks and black and red cloaks slowly walked out behind several stacked wooden boxes.

At the same time, in another surveillance screen, several figures in the same attire also appeared.

They walked towards the surveillance camera silently and solemnly as if they were holding some ceremony.

……

Bai Ye passed all the 'single-plank bridges' smoothly and returned to the vicinity of the death device.

At this time, the black Mike's right joint had been smashed, the roller was sending his head to the trial position, and the bloody spiked baseball bat was almost fully charged.

Mike lowered his head and remained motionless. He didn't know whether he was dead or lost consciousness and fell into a deep coma.

After Bai Ye accurately inserted the 3 spring winders into the 3 slot holes on the gear set, he turned them half a turn in turn.

The gear set slowly stopped with a crackling sound, and the spiked baseball bat finally stopped charging, and the entire death device seemed to stop running.

Then, the strange zoomed-in perspective reappeared, and the screen began to rotate continuously, and the yellowed memory screen appeared in front of Bai Ye again...

"Hey Mike, you've been fired."

Outside the gymnasium, a tall middle-aged man said coldly to the black Mike:
"You are not welcome in my baseball club."

"Just give me another chance, I promise I won't make the same mistake again."

Mike had a cynical face and sounded insincere.

"Bats are for games, not for smashing other people's skulls... Besides, I've given you many chances before."

The middle-aged man said sternly: "I will never allow a violent person to destroy my team."

……

The screen switched, and the black Mike was sitting in front of a computer.

A video screen was played on the computer monitor. In the screen, a well-built blond boy was beating another thin and weak boy.

"Isn't this kid the old guy's son? He's actually on the news?

School bullying?Sanctimonious old guy, what else can you say, your own son is also a violent person, hahaha..."

A vengeful smile appeared on the corner of Mike's mouth, and he pulled the page to the comment column below.

He noticed that there were several popular comments that attracted a large number of comments from netizens.

[His parents have to bear the main responsibility for this!This is a failure in family education! 】

At the moment when he saw this comment, Mike felt that the commenter had accurately expressed his inner thoughts.

"Yes, yes, if the children are not educated well, the parents have to bear the main responsibility."

A look of cruelty flashed across his wicked black face.

"Then I should pay for the sins committed by my son... This is the only way to do it."

……

The screen switched again, and it became a perspective of shooting video.

In the video, a tall middle-aged man is walking here from not far away.

"Look, big guys, come and have a look, that man is the father of the school bully."

Mike's voice turned into a narration, introducing:

"The parent who will educate that kind of little beast must be a morally corrupt person. We should properly teach this kind of person a lesson so that they can have a long memory."

At this time, as Mike approached the middle-aged man, the other party also noticed Mike.

"Why are you again? I don't want to see you, disappear from my sight!"

The middle-aged man looked very angry, waving his fists and yelling at Mike in a rough voice.

"Hey, wait... Did you eat explosives today? I represent the majority of netizens to seek justice for the victims..."

Mike said without shame.

"Ask for justice? What do you ask for justice?"

The middle-aged man looked confused, and noticed the DV player in Mike's hand, and immediately reached out angrily to hold the camera.

"What are you shooting? Put that thing down!"

"Don't you dare to touch me, you can't afford to pay for this thing if you break it."

In the camera, Mike raised an iron baseball bat while shouting.

"What do you want to do? Don't come here, I will call the police if you come here again!"

The middle-aged man showed a vigilant look, and his voice raised a bit.

"Call the police? Hmph, calling the police doesn't work. A cunning scum like you should be punished violently if you make a mistake!"

As he spoke, the baseball bat swung towards the middle-aged man's head.

Mike swung his stick and cursed at the same time.

"I did this to uphold justice, and to vent my anger on that young man who was bullied by your son."

"I represent the wishes of all netizens."

Mike let out some crazy laughter while being violent.

"This is a sanction from justice!"
