Something big happened?
Xia Lun's heart moved, and he immediately picked up the remote control at hand, raised his hand to the TV screen on the wall and pressed the power button.
The TV screen flickered, and "Whitewash TV" immediately appeared on the screen.
It was 6:30 pm at this time, which happened to be the broadcast time of "Whitewash News". According to common sense, there should be two hosts sitting on the screen. They would recite various News Release in broadcasting voices. However, at this time, the two hosts on the screen had red cheeks and stared at the side screen of the recording room very excitedly.
"It's amazing, can this kind of program be broadcast publicly?" the female host said excitedly, "Far Mountain TV is doing a great job, when can we broadcast this kind of program? The ratings must be great!"
The male host nodded in agreement. "This guy who calls himself the Reckoner is an expert in torture at first glance. You see, his electrodes are in the form of needles. This kind of electrode needle can be inserted directly into the muscle, causing pain and spasm far beyond the superficial electric shock method."
"How do you know so much?" the female host asked curiously.
The male host smiled and said nothing."
Xia Lun in front of the TV was a little speechless. It seemed that the so-called "big news" was in "Far Mountain TV".
He briefly recalled the station number Far Mountain TV, then he picked up the remote control and quickly switched the channel to "Far Mountain TV".
A green curtain appeared on the TV screen, and in front of the curtain was a man tied to a wooden chair with a thick hemp rope. The man was thin, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his tall, white nose, but a black rag was stuffed in his mouth.
At this time, the man was struggling continuously, but apart from the continuous whimpering, his struggle was useless.
"The flash of arc flashed away, and a man wearing black Trench Coat and Wolf Mask on his face appeared on the edge of the screen. He held an electric shock needle in his hand and seemed to be debugging the equipment.
"That's it?" Xia Lun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
He originally thought he would see a big scene like the explosion of Nuclear Bomb, but it turned out that the so-called big news was just a common kidnapping in Whitewash City.
He shook his head and pressed the shutdown button in disappointment, but strangely, the TV screen did not turn off.
Xia Lun raised his eyebrows, and then pressed the channel change button. However, the TV channel seemed to be welded to death and remained motionless.
He stood up, walked quickly to the TV, and unplugged the power supply of the TV. But the next moment, something outrageous happened. Even though the TV screen was powered off, it was still playing content.
"Huh?" Xia Lun was shocked, "How new, the TV is haunted."
The next moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor. There was no doubt that while he was messing with the TV, the housekeepers Carson and Security Captain had also completed their communication, and they were about to return to the house to report.
Before the other party could speak, Xia Lun waved his hand to his opponent and then immediately told a cold joke.
"Do you want to talk about the abnormal increase in the ratings of Far Mountain Channel?"
"The... ratings increased abnormally?"
Security Captain sounded a little confused, but the next moment, the butler Carson took over.
"Sir, that's it. Now almost all the electronic screens that are turned on in the Grand Alliance have been hijacked by unknown means. Whether it's the big screen on the pedestrian commercial street or Surveillance Device, special programs like "Far Mountain TV" are being forced to play on all these screens."
"The ratings are quite large." Xia Lun sighed casually, then sat back on his chair and watched this special program.
Although this thing is very magical at the moment, it obviously has nothing to do with him, but since the TV screen has been hijacked by supernatural forces, he is not opposed to watching this so-called program to see what the person wearing Wolf Mask wants to do.
Moreover, he originally planned to take a rest and relax today, so watching such a strange program was naturally not a waste of time.
"Pop. The electric shock needle in the screen flashed a blue arc again. The man wearing Wolf Mask on his face nodded, and then walked slowly behind the man with gold-framed glasses. He then raised the needle and neatly inserted the electric shock needle into the thigh of the man with gold-framed glasses.
"Woo..." The man with gold-rimmed glasses twitched in horror, but he did not suffer an electric shock.
"Relax, DeVaughn." A male voice distorted by the voice changer came from behind Wolf Mask, "You know exactly why you were caught here, right?"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses whimpered and wanted to make a sound, but the cotton ball in his mouth prevented him from making any sound. He struggled in vain for a few times, and then he really calmed down and stopped struggling in vain.
The man with gold-framed glasses, DeVaughn, rolled his eyes crazily. Siping was observing the environment. The next moment, his cheeks twitched slightly, and then he nodded slightly.
"Very good, it seems that you have understood the current situation, then let's get started."
Wolf Mask said while turning his head to look at the camera.
"Dear viewers, do you still remember Juesipa Island Massacre" that was exposed a few years ago?"
Xia Lun felt something in his heart and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Juesipa Island Massacre" is the name of the battle royale hunting event organized by "Zeno" after it was exposed.
At the same time, the Reckoner on the screen also raised his left hand and stretched out three fingers toward the camera.
"Three years ago today, thirty innocent young people died so lightly in Pasique Archipelago. They were chased, hunted, and slaughtered like animals, and died painfully in despair and regret."
"Their parents mourned their passing, and their lovers shed tears for their deaths. We once felt fear and anger for their passing, but unfortunately, as time goes by, we forget the fear and anger, and their lovers have to start a new life. Even their parents' memories of them will eventually become a shallow scar..."
"To this day, the murderers are still at large. Not only have they not disappeared, but they have become more ferocious, and more and more poor people have fallen into their prey."
"But everyone, the murderers will not remain unpunished forever. Justice will eventually come and they will be liquidated." Wolf Mask's voice suddenly raised, "If Grand Alliance's judicial system cannot liquidate them, then I will liquidate them! Because I am "The Reckoner"!"
Before he finished speaking, Wolf Mask turned around suddenly and stared at DeVaughn who was tied to the chair like a real hungry wolf.
"DeVaughn, tell us, are you the murderer of them?"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses DeVaughn looked pale, but he still shook his head.
"Very good, I like people who never regret their sins." Wolf Mask laughed in a low voice, "Dear viewers, please allow me to introduce to you this issue's guest DeVaughn."
"DeVaughn is a lawyer. To be precise, he is an extremely famous lawyer. He Mastery Grand Alliance knows almost every case in history regarding criminal laws. To obtain such an extraordinary talent, one must naturally undergo extraordinary training, so he also has many extraordinary friends and classmates."
"If he was willing to put his resources and talents on the right path, he would surely become a rising star. But unfortunately, he eventually became a super master who played with the law and exonerated the most evil people."
Wolf Mask walked slowly behind DeVaughn.
"Contrary to everyone's imagination, the authorities once locked in on the real culprit behind Juesipa Island Massacre. However, under the manipulation of DeVaughn and his friends, the real culprit finally escaped from trial, and even the subordinates of the real culprit escaped from suspicion."
"Dear viewers, I will introduce the rules of the game next."
Wolf Mask put his hand on DeVaughn's shoulder.
"If you think DeVaughn is guilty, then use your mobile phone to send a text message with "1" to Far Mountain TV; if you think he is innocent, then send a text message with "2". If the number of participants exceeds 100,000 and the majority of people think that DeVaughn is guilty, then this elite lawyer will be electrocuted; otherwise, he will be acquitted."
"DeVaughn, did you see the counter next to the camera? That is the display for real-time data statistics."
"For the sake of fairness, let the eloquent lawyer DeVaughn defend himself next!"
Before he finished speaking, he took off the rag ball from the mouth of the man with gold-rimmed glasses, DeVaughn.
"..." The man with gold-framed glasses DeVaughn closed his eyes and remained silent.
"Have you admitted your guilt and given up your defense?" Wolf Mask asked.
The man with gold-framed glasses, DeVaughn, slowly raised his head and spoke in a clear voice.
"Although I'm not smart, I'm not Foolishness convinced that you will really let me go. Now that I've fallen into your hands, it's just a struggle to my death anyway. A struggle to my death will only make me look ugly. Instead of doing that, it's better to maintain some dignity before I die."
"Haha..." Wolf Mask laughed again, "Do you want to get away with it by creating a character who remains elegant even in the face of death? As expected of an elite lawyer, he immediately found the correct way to play the voting game."
At this time, Security Captain outside the screen looked at Xia Lun carefully, and then asked appropriately, "Mr. Xia Lun, what does "The Reckoner" mean?"
"Everything involving voting essentially has nothing to do with the facts themselves." Xia Lun took a comfortable sip of coffee, "Attracting as many audiences as possible is the key to winning votes. DeVaughn is naturally at a disadvantage under the Reckoner's issue framework. If he wants to turn things around, he must break the inherent framework and replace it with a fashionable framework."
"Fashionability? Can this really work?" The butler seemed doubtful, but actually praised it.
"If it is not broken, it will be of some use; but once it is broken, it will be completely useless." Xia Lun shook his head. "Alas, let's just watch the show honestly."
At this time, DeVaughn on the screen was obviously aware of the unfavorable situation. He was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled.
"To be honest, you don't really think you are a messenger of justice, do you? I don't deny that I have done something wrong, but compared to a thug like you who unscrupulously tramples on procedures but calls himself the embodiment of justice, at least I have not violated any procedures."
"Great, this is it." Wolf Mask clapped his hands, "I like how you use endless forms to build a circuitous maze, and then use the circuitous maze to misinterpret the people's simple concept of justice into Foolishness's sophistry, and then make justice become pale and powerless."
"Simple justice?" DeVaughn suddenly showed a smile of success, "Then the Reckoner, why don't you tell everyone that the so-called "victims" all voluntarily participated in the hunt?"
"Friends, viewers, from beginning to end, the so-called victims were completely informed and voluntary! They were prepared to kill and be killed, and no one ever forced them! They are all murderers, and they are completely driven to destruction by their own greed."
"Hmph, lying."
Wolf Mask sneered, and he suddenly took out an account book from his black robe and showed it to the camera.
"DeVaughn is not only a lawyer, he is also the middleman who contacts the Grand Alliance human trafficking network. In the year when the Pasque tragedy happened, he bought ten people from the orphanage. Moreover, most people don't even know that they are going to participate in the death battle. Most people know that they are just going to provide entertainment for a certain big shot."
As soon as these words came out, Vaughn's face suddenly turned ugly. There was no doubt that the vote on the voting counter was guilty.
The numbers are growing rapidly.
But the next moment, he took a deep breath, and a trace of imperceptible joy flashed across his face.
"No, why is he so happy?" Outside the screen, Security Captain really didn't understand this time, "How can you be happy when death is imminent?"
Xia Lun picked up a piece of sea cucumber. "By looking at the real-time changes in the counter, he determined that his behavior could affect the counter. In other words, he judged that he was most likely in a live broadcast, not filming a video. Although there is also the possibility that the counter was manually operated, he should be planning to take a final gamble."
"This man has a very tough mind." Security Captain couldn't help but sigh, "Even in this situation, he still continues to look for opportunities."
"If you're worthy of that, you'll be like this too." Butler Carson complained faintly, "In order to survive, people can unleash their super potential."
Xia Lun knocked on the table. "Stop arguing and keep reading. I guess this lawyer is about to finish."
At this time, Vaughn, the gold-framed glasses lawyer on the screen, spoke again after being silent for a long time.
"With such a high remuneration, as long as Intelligence normal people know that their lives will definitely be in danger, I believe in their judgment and ability to be responsible for their own lives. Do you think that everyone is an adult baby without any ability to take responsibility?"
"So DeVaughn, you finally admitted that you are not only an acquittal lawyer, but also a member of the human trafficking network.
Do you have a certain position?"Wolf Mask The topic suddenly changed.
Vaughn's face twitched, and the next moment, he suddenly yelled.
"I was kidnapped at Winterflower Month 12. The place where I was unconscious was outside the Violet Crystal Palace in Hermaniel! I am now in a place similar to a warehouse. The temperature is It's very cold, and there are leaves of Hilmong Flower nearby! This the Reckoner is about 1.8 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms. His right thumb has a callus unique to long-term gun holding!"
Wearing Wolf Mask and "The Reckoner" with his hands behind his back, he listened to Vaughn's shouting with great interest.
"Are you finished?" he asked playfully.
Vaughn's face finally showed an expression of horror and despair. "Isn't this a live broadcast?"
"Of course it's a live broadcast. I've always been a trustworthy person." Wolf Mask said with a smile, "But having said that, your last post was a bit too contemptuous of my talent and Internal Affairs Department's professionalism."
"What do you mean by that?!" Vaughn was on the verge of emotional collapse, "Stop being so mysterious!"
"The clues you saw were obviously laid out by me in advance." Wolf Mask said leisurely, "As a social elite of the Grand Alliance, how come you can't even see through such a simple information trap? Haha, it seems that emotions have affected your judgment after all."
"And what you said can obviously be seen by the Internal Affairs Department people." Wolf Mask turned to look at the camera again, "In addition, the camera model in your pupils Reflection, the number of the green screen and even the sales record, the texture of the wooden chair, the transmission of the signal, all of these are clues that even a layman agent can know and may find."
"Uh... wu..." Vaughan made a whimper-like sound from his mouth, and his face trembled, "You... are you not afraid?"
"Afraid?" Wolf Mask laughed loudly, "I am the Reckoner! You don't really think that you can catch me with this kind of investigation, do you? Listen up, you murderer, you can't win because you are on the opposite side of justice! Okay, the vote is here, let's hit the road, murderer!"
Before he finished speaking, he slammed the start button of the electric shock device!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
His fist hit the table and the water glass on the table shook.
Public Security Officer Jiavette glanced at the water stains on the table, then turned to look at the gray-haired Internal Affairs Department Officer next to him.
"Why is there no trace of the murderer in the TV station Far Mountain Region?" Internal Affairs Department Officer asked in a deep voice, "If there is no signal base station, how did he hijack Far Mountain TV and then broadcast it to the entire Grand Alliance?"
There was deathly silence in the huge command room. For a while, the only sounds that could be heard were the old man's heavy breathing and the beeping sound of signal transmission.
After a long time, the person in charge of information technology suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Sir, information transmission takes time, which means that no matter what technology it is, it is impossible to achieve the same scene in the entire Grand Alliance simultaneously."
"..." The old Internal Affairs Department Officer rubbed the bridge of his nose, "What do you want to say?"
The technician hesitated for a moment and then said, "Sir, this must be a supernatural phenomenon. I think we should immediately request Special Operations Division for assistance. This so-called "The Reckoner" is most likely the unregistered Player."
The elderly Internal Affairs Department Officer was silent for a while, then let out a long sigh, then walked to the landline and slowly picked up the phone.
"Click."
