Five days later.
"Are these people crazy? Why are they all so crazy?"
Li Si I have a headache now, a very severe headache.
As early as a few days ago, he had left Arthur Jack man's secret room unattended. After evacuating the abandoned factory, he found several locations to start his own "redemption trial."
Originally, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to his plan, and the increasingly bloody and brutal methods caused a huge backlash. However, Arthur Jack man's works also whitewashed Jigsaw to a certain extent. He had many supporters and admirers, and the two parties were quarreling on the Internet.
Until here, everything was developing according to his expectations, until... he saw a snake patient who signed up voluntarily, Varric.
Varric made a post in Jigsaw Forum, and talked at length about a lot of complete freedom, breaking free from shackles, the meaning of life, etc. His strange brain circuit almost made Li Si think that he was being visited by Joker.
The argument of advocating complete freedom in the post is really a bit like Joker's thinking, but it suddenly makes a big turn later, saying that the existence of a bunch of shackles is irresistible, and people cannot ignore the foreshadowing of their loved ones to let themselves go just for themselves, and finally got to the point-if Jigsaw saw it, he wanted to take the initiative to sign up for Jigsaw's redemption trial.
He wants to experience the hardships of existence and change himself from doubting and thinking about the meaning of life to being able to live for the sake of living and feel satisfied because he can live.
Li Si was also aroused by this strange brain circuit. In addition, he also wanted to give his admirers some "positive energy" plot, so he gave Varric the impression in his heart that "it must be from Arkham, a talented person", and he responded quickly to satisfy his wish.
Needless to say, Varric, who had a brilliant brain, was more willing to die than to eat. He bought a plane ticket and flew to Gotham that day, and took the initiative to deliver it to his door.
Naturally, M Li Si would not be polite to this kind of trembling M Li Si who actively begged for torture. He immediately used a similar spare secret room to provide him with a full set of services, torturing him to the point of ecstasy.
Well, it was also broadcast live.
However, the problem lies here. When the guests were introduced, Varric, the "lost lamb" who took the initiative to sign up, caused great controversy and attention. When he left the secret room, Varric gave him a big surprise.
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly live? Come on, come to Jigsaw Chamber like me, and you will usher in a new life!"
Varric, who had cleared the secret room, was covered in bruises, but his face showed some neurotic joy and satisfaction, leaving a laugh and a roar.
After this roar was broadcast live, its power was comparable to that of the Pirate King calling people to find treasures. One call and a hundred responses are not enough to describe it. Hundreds of trembling M's jumped out of nowhere, each one shouting that they wanted to sign up and realize the meaning of life. This caused the workload of Jigsaw to increase countless times.
It's no wonder that the people of DC Earth are living in dire straits, with so many mental illnesses that are completely hopeless.
"If you don't answer it, I won't answer it even if you beat me to death. These people must want to tire me out and inherit my inheritance."
After two days of "taking orders" with high intensity, Li Si learned the hard way and completely gave up on this group of douchebags who came to their doorsteps for abuse, and then frantically helped these douchebags with Gotham's other great technician - Joker.
Well, if he remembered correctly, Joker should have similar business.
It's a pity that this group of people seemed to have identified his golden sign, no matter how good it was, it was useless. Many people even rushed to Gotham, forming small organizations and groups to search for his traces, which made it more difficult for him to hide and lurk. Several secret rooms that had not yet been activated were uncovered by this group of people.
Gotham Police Department was deceived and couldn't find him, and even Batman and Joker couldn't find Jigsaw, but he was forced to hide in Tibet by his group of fanatical "fans" and had to move his base at every turn. The frustration was simply unspeakable.
"Team Jigsaw Chamber! Fourth class, first class, veteran driver will lead the team."
After thinking about the situation outside, Li Si, who had been reduced to a situation like a boss in an RPG game, felt a chill and wanted to drag the culprit named Varric over and torture him again.
"Sir, Gotham The police have searched the secret room where Arthur Jack man is located, and Chief Gordon is leading a team to break down the door."
Skynet's voice sounded suddenly.
"People inside should stay away from the door. The Explosion team is preparing Explosion."
Having already demolished several "uninhabited" secret rooms in succession, Sergeant Gordon, who was already very experienced, raised a loudspeaker and shouted towards the door, then waved his hand to signal the police officers behind him to start demolition.
Boom!
Along with a loud noise and white smoke, a big hole was blown into the thick metal door.
"Go! Go! Go!"
The door lock had become ineffective due to the large hole that had been blasted. Although there was no hope of finding Jigsaw here, Gordon still nervously directed the armed police to start the raid.
A group of heavily armed police officers swarmed in. As expected, there was no sign of Jigsaw inside, only one victim.
Arthur Jack man.
Gordon immediately recognized the first victim of the Jigsaw incident.
However... the victim's current situation makes Gordon a little confused.
Arthur Jack man was lying on the ground at this time, with his elbows on the ground and his palms tapping on a flat plate in front of him. His calves were unconsciously raised and lowered, and from time to time he would pick up various snacks and drinks placed next to him and take a sip.
This lazy and comfortable posture... is just like the bedroom at home, the kind of abandoned bedroom where you lie on the sofa playing games and eating snacks, because there is an inflatable doll next to it.
That's all. What's even more outrageous is that Arthur Jack man turned a deaf ear to the loud explosion just now and the rush of so many police officers. He was so addicted to the tablet that he couldn't extricate himself. He didn't seem to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all, and his eyes stayed on the tablet.
Aren't you kidnapped? Aren't you being tortured?
Gordon Now my heart feels like ten thousand alpacas are rushing past. Is this really the kidnapping victim that I have worked so hard to rescue these days?
In the past few days, Jigsaw has kidnapped more and more people, and the methods have become more and more bloody. However, the live broadcast footage has also switched to those new victims, so in his heart, he even tacitly agrees that Arthur Jack man is dead.
A kidnapped person did not go home, but instead updated the serial novel on the Internet to beautify the image of the criminal who kidnapped him. This was completely impossible in his opinion.
Therefore, Arthur Jack Mann should be dead. All this is just Jigsaw borrowing Arthur Jack Mann's name to create his own "superhero" image.
However, it now seems that this is not the case. Not only is Arthur Jack man still alive, but he is also living a very comfortable life, so comfortable that it makes him wonder if all his time running around has been in vain.
"Jack Mr. Man!"
Although the mood is very complicated now, Gordon still has to try to "awaken" Arthur Jack man.
"Wait a moment, wait until I finish writing this last paragraph."
This time Arthur Jack man did hear them, or in other words, he had actually noticed them a long time ago, but he just didn't have time to raise his head.
Even now, he still said without raising his head, and then increased the speed of tapping his hands on the tablet again.
"Thank you for your rescue, Officer Gordon."
After a while, Arthur Jack Mancai finally stood up with the tablet in hand, slightly tilting his head towards Gordon and the others, and there was a faint trace of calmness after the lead was washed off his body.
This tone, as if thanking you for a trivial matter, made it a little hard for Gordon to accept. Without turning around in his mind, he asked in a programmed manner, "Do you need me to contact you for emergency help?"
"No, I'm not injured, but you may need to deal with this doll. Jigsaw has a bomb inside."
Arthur Jack man shook his head, and then looked at the life-size doll on the ground next to him.
"You're still so calm when there's a bomb right next to you."
Hearing this Gordon's brows jumped again.
Unfortunately, before he could say anything, Arthur Jack man had already walked towards the opened "bedroom" door with his tablet in his arms, and arrived at the final exit of the secret room with familiarity.
The sun is shining brightly outside.
The strong light approaching noon made him, who was accustomed to indoor incandescent lights, involuntarily squint his eyes. For a while, he could only see a blinding white patch of light in his field of vision.
Fortunately, this discomfort only lasted for a short moment and quickly subsided, and some yellow weeds and small trees outside the door came into view.
This is an outdoor scenery he has not seen for a long time. As long as he takes another step forward, freedom and new life will be ushered in.
But when he reached the door, he stopped suddenly, and even felt a hesitation in his heart between "crossing over or not crossing over."
Jigsaw's secret room caused him a lot of torture, but it also allowed him to gain a lot.
Here he tasted for the first time the food for which he had labored...
Here his work received recognition for the first time...
Here he got the first royalties in his life...
All kinds of torture and hardship have resulted in an overall physical and mental transformation, as well as an unprecedented sense of accomplishment, satisfaction, and self-esteem... These are things that no amount of money can buy.
And he also lived a good life in the last few days. He earned food through his own royalties. His work was recognized by Jigsaw, and even received a lot of praise and praise on the Internet under the promotion of Jigsaw. The rewards from various readers accumulated into a considerable amount of US dollars.
Here he can gain countless spiritual pleasures, and he can concentrate on his creation in isolation from the world. Perhaps one day he can become one of those world-famous writers he once envied.
"But... I can't stay here."
He searched for countless reasons in his heart to stay, but Arthur Jack man only paused for a moment before taking his own steps firmly.
There are still people waiting for him to return.
He still owes someone an apology and a lifetime of compensation.
"Perhaps they are right, you are a devil... a devil that makes people willing to suffer torture."
I was originally planning to write a two-in-one story, but the plot was destined to end here~ I really didn't mean to break the chapter, and the atmosphere would be gone if it continued.
