Bai Ye hung up the phone, then picked up a pizza shop hat and put it on his head, walking towards the Investigation Bureau.
"Pizza delivery!"
Arriving at the entrance, Bai Ye smiled, patted the insulated bag on his back, and swaggered into the Investigation Bureau.
Such lax security?
Of course!
If most people in the Investigation Bureau were incompetent, how could the City of Sin be the City of Sin?
A corrupt and broken city is not just because of the large number of criminals.
Bai Ye quickly entered the Investigation Bureau, and as he walked through the corridor, he took out a pizza box and put it in the trash can. Then, humming a tune, he walked through the corridor and up the stairs.
...
Gordon sat at his desk, flipping through files, when the phone rang again.
"Hello?"
"Director Gordon, it's me again..." Bai Ye said with a smile, "Are you sure you don't want to do as I said?"
Gordon frowned, "Who are you? What do you want? Are you one of the bikers?"
The six criminals he was asked to release were all members of the biker gang.
Bai Ye said, "That's not important. What you need to decide is whether to let them go or not."
Gordon took a deep breath, "I've said it before, we won't bow to evil forces."
"That's truly a shame." Bai Ye said, "You will pay the price for this!"
*Boom!*
The moment Bai Ye finished speaking, Gordon heard the sound of an explosion, and then the entire Investigation Bureau seemed to tremble violently.
In the corridor, a ball of scorching fire suddenly burst open, and a violent shockwave spread outwards!
A woman who had just walked by was engulfed in flames before she had a chance to react.
Layers of airwaves pushed outwards, flinging people away, and smashing them hard onto the ground.
Countless pieces of paper flew and burned in the corridor.
"My leg, my leg!"
"Ah, save me, please save me!"
...
Screams of agony quickly rang out, and those near the corridor entrance, affected by the explosion, cried out in pain.
Gordon was stunned for a moment, then quickly rushed out of his office, looking at the crowd and the wailing people.
"Ambulance!" Gordon roared loudly, "Are you all idiots? What are you standing there for? Call an ambulance, quickly!"
After shouting, Gordon angrily ran back to his office and roared, "Bastard, do you know what you're doing? You dare to bomb the Investigation Bureau?"
The City of Sin might be crazy, but this was the Investigation Bureau!
No criminal had ever dared to plant a bomb in the Investigation Bureau!
Even more ironic was how they managed to do it? How could they bring a bomb into the Investigation Bureau?
Bai Ye smiled, "Don't be so flustered, this is just a small welcoming gift. Director Gordon, are you going to release those six criminals now?"
Gordon gritted his teeth, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Bai Ye said, "Director Gordon, I have more than one bomb in my hand."
Gordon's breath hitched, "I warn you..."
"No, you don't need to warn me." Bai Ye said, "I don't want you to release those six guys anymore. I have a new condition now. Within thirty minutes, those six criminals must be shot dead, otherwise, I will detonate another bomb."
Gordon was stunned, "What did you say?"
Wasn't this guy an accomplice of those criminals? Why would he want them shot?
"I said, within thirty minutes, those six criminals must be shot dead, otherwise, I will detonate another bomb." Bai Ye smiled and said, "Director Gordon, I don't think this is a difficult task. Those six guys are scum. The evidence you've found is enough to send them to jail for ten or eight years. And what about the things you haven't found evidence for? Believe me, those guys are bastards who deserve to be shot seven or eight times."
"That's still not acceptable!" Gordon said grimly, "The law will judge them."
Bai Ye said, "You mean you won't agree?"
Gordon replied, "I will not agree to such an absurd request."
"I don't think so." Bai Ye said, "Director Gordon, do you know what human nature is?"
Gordon frowned, "Hmm?"
Bai Ye continued, "Human nature is that one's own self is always the most important. This includes those hypocritical righteous people. They always portray everything in a beautiful light, but when it comes to themselves, everything turns to darkness. Therefore, people can only trust themselves."
Gordon said, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"It seems you didn't understand what I meant." Bai Ye chuckled, "It's okay, I'll show you what human nature is!"
"Hello, hello, can everyone hear me?"
Gordon, surprised, put down the receiver. Bai Ye's voice echoed in his ears, but it wasn't coming from the other end of the phone, but from the Investigation Bureau's broadcast.
"My name is Bai Ye, you can also call me the Bomb Maniac. The explosion just now was just a small gift for all of you, and only a small token. There are more exciting and explosive gifts waiting for you. Yes, that's right, bombs have been planted in various parts of the Investigation Bureau, and I can detonate them at any time, turning this place into a graveyard."
"My request is very simple: shoot dead the six biker gang criminals held in the Investigation Bureau. Unfortunately, your Director Gordon does not agree to my conditions. I really don't understand, are the lives of six scum more important than the lives of all the agents working hard to maintain peace in the city?"
"Therefore, I plan to give everyone an opportunity. The time limit I agreed upon with Director Gordon is thirty minutes. Well, let me see, there are twenty-three minutes left. If, after twenty-three minutes, those six criminals are still alive, I will detonate all the bombs in the Investigation Bureau. I guarantee, this place will become hell then..."
*Boom!*
Before Bai Ye's voice had even finished, another explosion sounded at the entrance of the Investigation Bureau, directly collapsing the main gate. Large amounts of rubble fell, sealing the entrance.
Two men who had just run near the entrance looked up in terror, and were instantly crushed by the falling stones.
Bright red blood soon flowed out from between the stones.
Black smoke billowed, and flames raged.
"This is just a small warning..." a voice like a demon's sounded again, "Because I forgot to tell you, if anyone tries to leave this place before the game is over, I will immediately detonate all the bombs and turn this place into ashes!"
"Now, let's begin. Make your choice: kill six criminals, or bury yourselves here. I look forward to an interesting outcome."
