Bai Ye hung up the phone, then put on a pizza shop hat and walked 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 people who were merely occupying their positions, how could the City of Sin be the City of Sin?
A rotten and broken city wouldn't be so simply because of the number of criminals.
Bai Ye quickly entered the Investigation Bureau. As he walked down 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 case files, when the phone rang again.
"Hello?"
"Director Gordon, it's me again..." Bai Ye said with a smile, "Are you sure you won't 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've said it before, we won't bow to evil forces."
"That's truly a pity," Bai Ye said, "You will pay the price for this!"
Boom!
Almost 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 exploded, and a violent shockwave spread outwards!
A woman who had just walked by was engulfed by flames before she even had a chance to react.
Layers of airwaves pushed outwards, sending people flying and crashing hard to the ground.
Countless pieces of paper flew and burned in the corridor.
"My leg, my leg!"
"Ah, save me, save me!"
...
Screams of agony quickly erupted. Those in the corridor affected by the explosion began to wail.
Gordon stared blankly for a moment, then quickly rushed out of his office, looking at the crowded people and the wailing individuals.
"Ambulance!" Gordon roared, "Are you all stupid? 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?"
Although the City of Sin was crazy, this was the Investigation Bureau!
No criminal had ever been so audacious as to plant a bomb in the Investigation Bureau!
Even more ironic was how the perpetrator managed to bring the bomb into the Investigation Bureau!
Bai Ye smiled and said, "Don't be so flustered. This is just a small welcome 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 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 want to change the condition. 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, shoot all six criminals dead, otherwise, I will detonate another bomb," Bai Ye said with a smile, "Director Gordon, I don't think this is a difficult thing to do. Those six guys are scum. The evidence you've found alone is enough to send them to prison 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 sternly, "The law will judge them."
Bai Ye said, "So you're not agreeing?"
Gordon said, "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 such that at any time, oneself is the most important. This includes those hypocritical righteous people. They always portray everything beautifully, but when it comes to themselves, all that's left is darkness. Therefore, people can only trust themselves."
Gordon said, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"It seems you haven't understood me," Bai Ye said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll show you what human nature is!"
"Hello, hello, can everyone hear me?"
Gordon was surprised as he put down the receiver. Bai Ye's voice echoed in his ears, but it wasn't from the other end of the phone; it was coming 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 I gave to everyone, and it's only a token of my appreciation. There are more exciting and explosive gifts waiting for you. Yes, that's right, I've planted bombs in various parts of the Investigation Bureau. I can detonate those bombs at any time and turn 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 terms. 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 a chance. The time I agreed with Director Gordon is thirty minutes. Well, let me see, there are twenty-three minutes left. If those six criminals are still alive after twenty-three minutes, then I will detonate all the bombs in the Investigation Bureau. I guarantee that this place will become a living hell..."
Boom!
Before Bai Ye's words had even finished, another explosion sounded at the entrance of the Investigation Bureau, directly collapsing the main gate. A large amount of rubble fell, sealing off the entrance.
Two men who had just run near the entrance looked up in terror, and then were instantly crushed to the ground by the falling stones.
Bright red blood soon flowed from between the cracks of the stones.
Black smoke billowed, and flames raged.
"This is just a small warning..." a devilish voice sounded again, "Because I forgot to tell you, if anyone tries to leave this place before the game ends, I will also immediately detonate all the bombs and turn this place into ashes in an instant!"
"Now, let's begin. Make your choice: kill the six criminals, or bury yourselves here. I look forward to an interesting result from you."
