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 the Investigation Bureau wasn't filled with mediocrity, how could the City of Sin be the City of Sin?
A decadent and broken city wouldn't be so simply because of its high crime rate.
Bai Ye quickly entered the Investigation Bureau. As he walked down the corridor, he took out a pizza box and threw it into the trash can. Then, humming a tune, he walked through the corridor and up the stairs.
...
Gordon sat at his desk, flipping through a file, 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 say?"
Gordon frowned, "Who are you? What do you want? Are you one of the biker gang members?"
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 release them or not."
Gordon took a deep breath, "I told you, we will not bow down to evil forces."
"That's truly a pity." Bai Ye said, "You will pay the price for this!"
Boom!
Almost the instant Bai Ye finished speaking, Gordon heard the sound of an explosion, and then the entire Investigation Bureau seemed to shake violently.
In the corridor, a ball of intense heat suddenly exploded, a powerful shockwave spreading outwards!
A woman who had just walked by was engulfed by flames before she had a chance to react.
Layer upon layer of airwaves pushed outwards, throwing people aside and smashing them to 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 soon erupted. Those caught in the explosion at the corridor entrance wailed incessantly.
Gordon stared blankly for a moment, then quickly rushed out of his office, looking at the crowd and the wailing people.
"Ambulance!" Gordon roared, "What are you all standing there for? Call an ambulance, quickly!"
After shouting, Gordon angrily ran back to his office and yelled, "You 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 been so audacious as to plant a bomb in the Investigation Bureau!
What was even more ironic was how did the other party manage it? They managed to 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 planning 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 immediately gasped, "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, otherwise, I will detonate another bomb."
Gordon froze, "What did you say?"
Wasn't this guy an accomplice of those criminals? Why would he want them shot?
"I said, within thirty minutes, all six criminals must be shot, or I will detonate another bomb." Bai Ye said with a smile, "Director Gordon, I don't think this is a difficult task. Those six are scum. The evidence you've already found is enough to put them in jail for ten or eight years. And what about the things you haven't found evidence for? Believe me, those guys are scum deserving of being shot seven or eight times."
"That's still not acceptable!" Gordon said sternly, "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 said, "Human nature is that, at any time, oneself is the most important. This includes those self-righteous individuals of justice. They always paint everything beautifully, but when it comes to themselves, everything becomes dark. Therefore, people can only trust themselves."
Gordon asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"It seems you haven't understood my meaning." Bai Ye chuckled, "It's fine, I will show you what human nature is!"
"Hello, hello, can everyone hear me?"
Gordon was surprised, he put down the receiver, Bai Ye's voice echoed in his ears, but it wasn't from the other end of the phone, but from the Investigation Bureau's broadcast system.
"My name is Bai Ye, and you can also call me the Bomb Maniac. The explosion just now was just a small gift I'm giving you, and it's only a token of my appreciation. There are more exciting and explosive gifts waiting for you. Yes, that's right, bombs have been planted throughout the Investigation Bureau, and I can detonate them at any time, turning this place into a graveyard."
"My demand is actually very simple: shoot the six biker gang criminals being held in the Investigation Bureau. Unfortunately, your Director Gordon does not agree to my terms. I really can't understand, are the lives of six scum more important than the lives of all the agents who are working hard to maintain peace in the city?"
"So, I'm going to give everyone a chance. The time I've agreed with Director Gordon is thirty minutes. Hmm, 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 words even finished, the sound of another explosion rang out from the entrance of the Investigation Bureau, directly blasting the main gate to smithereens. A large amount of debris fell, sealing off the entrance.
Two men who had just run near the entrance looked up in horror, and were instantly crushed by the falling rocks.
Bright red blood soon flowed from between the stones.
Black smoke billowed, and flames raged.
"This is just a small warning..." a demonic voice echoed again, "Because I forgot to tell you, if anyone tries to leave this game before it ends, 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."
