Chapter 345 The Devil Who Plays People's Hearts (Repair)
Three days later, midnight.
Sheriff Gordon is in a bad mood now.
Or sheriff Gordon has not been in a good mood since his heart skipped a few days ago.
It has been three days, but the search for jigsaws has not made any progress. He led a team to patrol the railway trunk line of Gotham, but no trace of jigsaw was found, and he could not even prevent the live broadcast of jigsaws.
There is nothing to do.
Jigsaw is very arrogant, but it does have enough arrogance.
Even the technicians of Wayne Group have no way to invade jigsaws. According to the original words of Fox, the president of Wayne Group, the other party's hacking technology has become so strong that it is despairing that they cannot even find any trace of being invaded.
Compared with the search, this is the most deadly point for the upper class of the Gotham Police Department. The influence of Jigsaw's kidnapping live broadcast will never fade if it doesn't end for a day, and it will further highlight their incompetence. If Gordon, who took the initiative to take over this incident for a few days, would probably be pushed out to perform his scapegoat function in front of the media.
clatter!
With a light sound, Sheriff Gordon, who was frowning, sighed and felt weakly turned on a huge high beam on the roof.
This is a bat lamp, with a black bat-shaped sign attached to the center of the lamp, so when the light is turned on, the light will form a huge bat mark in the night sky.
Just like its name, this bat lamp is used to summon Batman.
(I decided it was you, bat...ah, please ignore it if you are so happy.)
...
"Is it already the fourth day..."
Arthur Jackman lay on the floor of the ‘rental house’, absent-mindedly gnawing on the bread, and glanced at the countdown on his clothes.
The prison he arranged for him by Jigsaw did not have a clock, so the countdown screen on his clothes became his only tool for estimating time.
This was the third piece of clothing he bought. The first two clothes turned into strips of cloth at the moment when the countdown was zero. These strips of cloth were also used by him to make a simple bed.
After these few days, he has basically adapted to his life in this prison. Although he is very tiring to exercise vigorously every day, earning ten skeleton coins every day is enough to support his life, and he even ate steak once... It was the most delicious piece he has ever eaten in his life.
After a few days, he wondered if he had suffered from Stockholm syndrome and had the illusion that he was living here was also very good and safe.
In addition to having to earn skeleton coins to buy food, Jigsaw did not abuse him any... Well, well, there are actually some. When he just returned to the accommodation area on the first day, he forgot to pay the rent, the ice fog that poured out everywhere made him feel a chill and almost turned into an ice sculpture.
However, after the rent that he threw two skeleton coins into a coin port in the room, the fog subsided. As long as the rent was paid on time, there would be no cold air. Although it was still very cold when sleeping, there would be no big problem with wearing thick cotton coats.
The only thing that goes wrong is that it is too boring, completely inseparable from modern society, without any entertainment, and not even a person to talk. Apart from the routine of venting his energy in the work area every day, he can only spend the rest of his time in a daze.
This also caused him to think a lot these days, just like an old man who was already thinking about the past in the quiet moments of the night. All kinds of regrets, regrets, and thoughts surged into his heart. He suspected that if he continued like this, he might be able to change careers and become a philosopher.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. It seems that you are doing well here and you are very adaptable!"
The sound of the jigsaw suddenly rang out again after a few days.
The hoarse voice that originally made him angry now shocked Arthur Jackman - he hadn't spoken to anyone for two or three days.
Arthur Jackman hurriedly asked, "Since I've adapted, should you let me out?"
"Don't worry, your assessment is not over yet. I will let you out after it is over."
Jigsaw said calmly: "Next, your assessment will enter the next stage and increase the difficulty. This is also the final stage. Once you pass, you will be able to get out of here and welcome a new life."
"Then come on."
Arthur Jackman was not afraid, his eyes were very firm, and there was a heroic aura on his body.
No matter what tricks Jigsaw is about to play, he must go out alive.
"After a few days of special training in the jigsaw training class, you have barely mastered the ability to survive independently..."
Jigsaw changed to the tone that was like a movie narration when introducing the rules of the game: "But as a man, it's not enough to support yourself. It used to be Mina Zhang to support you in life, but now it's time to support her."
"What do you mean?"
Arthur Jackman's face suddenly changed his face when he heard this. His original determination and courage only remained in an instant and disappeared completely. He roared anxiously like a giant dragon touched by a scale: "Bastard, if you dare to touch Mina, I will never let you go. What are the means to come to me!"
"Can she provide you with food, clothing, housing and transportation for several years? Now if you are the one who provides you with him for a few days, you won't want to?"
Jigsaw was still unmoved by Arthur Jackman's roar, and his voice became even more subdued.
Arthur Jackman immediately roared, "This is not a question of whether you want to or not. Bastard, you are kidnapping! If you have something to do, come to me, don't you just want to increase the difficulty? The same is true for skeleton coins to collect double copies! Don't touch Mina!"
"That won't work. Only pressure can prompt you to transform."
The jigsaw sounded again: "However, given the little reward I promised to you before, I can give you a chance to choose."
“What opportunity?”
"The first option, I will send Mina Zhang here to accompany you. If you don't earn enough coins, she may starve to death and freeze to death. Of course, as long as you work harder, you may also have the best of both worlds, spend a perfect two-person world and usher in a new life."
"I said you won't touch her!"
After hearing this, Arthur Jackman directly rejected the first option. He was already scumbag before, but now if Mina still falls into the hands of Jigsaw, what is the difference between it and a beast?
Although Jigsaw promised to let him go, it was just a verbal promise. When he entered here, he could not help but live or die.
"The second option is that I will send a doll instead of Mina Zhang, but I will put a powerful bomb in the doll that is enough to flatten the entire secret room. Every day you have to throw ten coins into the doll's mouth, otherwise the bomb will detonate."
The sound of a jigsaw sounded.
Upon hearing this, Arthur Jackman fell silent.
His physique is very poor, very poor.
If you rely solely on vigorous exercise to squeeze sweat from your body, you will be the limit to earning ten skeleton coins every day. After exercise, you will be limp all over after moving. It is difficult to persist in doing the second time. Even if you barely complete the first few times, what will happen?
According to the minimum consumption of three meals a day, he also has to spend four to six skeleton coins a day, plus the rent of two coins and the need to buy a piece of clothing every two days. If he also has to invest skeleton coins for the doll, there is basically nothing left.
This is the lowest consumption. You have to exercise vigorously every day and squeeze out sweat. If you only eat bread and water, your body will not be able to withstand it. Not to mention starving to death, you will be exhausted to death, as long as your body cannot support the intense exercise twice a day, it will be when he is blown to pieces.
But if he just chose to let Mina come in, there was actually no pressure. Mina didn't need to exercise, she only needed one or two breads to support her for a day, and the clothes were only about ten coins for two days. It took a little effort to achieve it. Even to be realistic, if he just wanted to survive, Mina would not endanger his life even if she died.
Whether it is a rational point of view or a realistic point of view, letting Mina come over is the most correct option.
"You are indeed a devil... a devil who plays with people's hearts..."
