Chapter 253: Began with the Broadcast of Circa.s.sia
An hour later, the Circa.s.sian police continued their search in the city.
The people of Circa.s.sia were all frightened by this scene. Whether it was the people walking on the streets or the tourists in the shopping malls, they were all in a state of panic, afraid that they would be taken away.
At this time, at the UFX Investigation Bureau, Paul broke down. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He shouted at Bolton, “What did you promise me? It’s already been an hour. Why haven’t we caught anyone yet?”
Bolton was also puzzled. He felt as if his worldview had collapsed. With a sullen face, he helplessly said, “The entire city has set up checkpoints. The Death Inquisitor must be hiding somewhere in the city. He’s definitely still in Circa.s.sia. Give me some more time, and I’ll definitely be able to catch him.”
“There’s no more time. The Death Inquisitor has caught Aubrey. Isn’t the next step going to be a live broadcast? Once the live broadcast is on, even if we catch him, what’s the point? When that time comes, the entire country will scold us for being incompetent. We won’t even be able to catch a single killer.” Paul’s chest heaved up and down vigorously, and he was obviously very angry.
Both of them had ugly expressions. At this moment, an agent walked in hurriedly.
“Director, something bad has happened. The Death Inquisitor is fighting for control of the Internet.”
“What?” Paul’s eyes widened, and his expression became even more solemn.
Then, they walked to the cyber security technology section. The entire room was filled with computers. They were all super hackers, and they were typing away on their keyboards.
“F*ck, this guy is too disgusting. The IP he forged is a virus source. It’s not good for everyone to track his IP anymore. They will be poisoned,” a hacker shouted.
“AH! My control is gradually being eroded by him. I can’t take it anymore. My computer is about to crash.”
“Me too. He’s crazily sending out the super code. The control of the television network is about to be s.n.a.t.c.hed away.”
All the hackers were dejected and defeated.
Seeing this, Paul shouted at the top of his lungs, “Hold on, hold on!”
However, at this moment, the hackers did not seem to hear him. Even hard steel was useless. The computers were all controlled and there was nothing they could do.
Bolton’s mood was extremely heavy. He looked at Paul and said, “Let’s ask the country for help. This Death Inquisitor is too powerful. Also, inform the president that once we lose control of the network, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
“F*ck, do you remember what you promised me? Didn’t you say that there would be no problem?”
Paul’s state of mind collapsed.
“How did I know that he was so powerful?!”
Who would have thought that an a.s.sa.s.sin would have such terrifying hacking skills? Even their most elite hacker team was no match for him. From this aspect, the Death Inquisitor alone was enough to fend off a small country.
At this moment, Burton was also extremely unhappy.
“I’m going to fire you,” Paul roared.
The entire UFX Investigation Bureau was beaten to a pulp.
Jack had used an S-grade super virus this time. The investigation bureau had to continuously attack for a day without eating or drinking. Even if they used the entire country’s hackers, it would still take them two to three hours. At this time, his live broadcast had long ended.
“Everyone, let’s interrupt the broadcast for a piece of news. An American man with a gun has kidnapped four men. He is driving a black car to escape. The license plate number is GB5255. For those who provide clues, call…We will provide 10 million as a reward. Everyone is welcome to partic.i.p.ate actively.”
The television was broadcasting pictures of the man with a Freddy mask and was spreading information about the car.
“Oh my G.o.d, it’s so disgusting.”
Looking at the terrifying mask on the television, many people felt their stomachs turn sour and their hearts turn cold.
In Times Square, Circa.s.sia…
This was the most luxurious place in Circa.s.sia. There were many important businesses such as Artie, Nike, and Rosen world gathered here. It was also the financial center of the world. Many celebrities from all over the world would come here to exchange ideas and discuss business.
At this moment, the streets were flowing endlessly. The large screen was playing a cosmetic advertis.e.m.e.nt.
Without any warning, the originally bright screen suddenly became a screen full of snowflakes. It was the same for some small screens nearby.
At this moment, the people on the streets all stopped and looked at the large screen of snowflakes. They did not know what had happened, and they tilted their heads and discussed animatedly.
Soon, the screen reloaded and Jack’s b.u.mpy face appeared.
“h.e.l.lo, everyone, I am the Death Inquisitor. I have taken control of your network. You don’t have to be afraid. I have no ill intentions. After the live broadcast, everything will return to normal.”
Jack spoke fluent English, and there were subt.i.tles in the lower part of the screen.
“Oh my G.o.d, his face is so scary. I’m going to throw up.”
“Death Judge, eh? Is he preparing to broadcast the murder?”
“Wow, so cool!”
At this moment, the Internet was broadcasting live. The American netizens, who were tens of thousands of miles away, also received the live broadcast notification and rushed into the live broadcast room.
In just a few minutes, thousands of people had joined. The number of people was still rising rapidly. The scene was very impressive, and the gift bullet screen directly occupied the screen.
Meanwhile, at the NYPD…
Following Judy’s actions, the live broadcast was projected onto the big screen.
“The Death Judge has seized control of the Internet in Circa.s.sia. Right now, the television, cell phones, and all sorts of screens on the streets are broadcasting the live broadcast of the death.”
Judy paused for a moment and took a few photos of the netizens. Among them was the big screen of Times Square.
Ross said in shock, “The Death Inquisitor is going all out. Such a terrifying ability. Oh my G.o.d.”
Looking at the shocked Ross, Anthony felt like his blood was about to burn. “Is this the true strength of the Death Inquisitor? It’s so terrifying.”
At this moment, all the screens in the UFX Investigation Bureau turned into a live broadcast.
Paul looked at everything in front of him in disbelief. The Death Inquisitor had really seized control of the internet and was shaking an entire country by himself.
Hiss!
The room was filled with gasps of cold air.
The powerful national network had actually been taken down by an a.s.sa.s.sin.
Was this a dream?
It was unbelievable.
Everyone found it hard to believe. This was the cruel reality. They hoped that this was a dream. However, Freddy’s terrifying face constantly reminded them that this was reality.
‘Oh my G.o.d!’
Just as Paul was about to break down, the camera in the broadcast room changed, and four people appeared. They were Aubrey and the other two.
They had a chain around their necks. The chain went through the iron rings on the ground and then pa.s.sed through the rotating wheel on the roof. It hung down again and was fixed on the rotating shaft of the electric motor in the distance. The iron rings on the ground were not big. They were about the same size as their heads, and they were emitting a faint white light.
The room the other four were in was not too big either. The light was a little dim, and the surrounding dark walls were slightly damp. There were even c.o.c.kroaches jumping on them.
The four of them slowly woke up and pulled on the rattling metal chains. With a slight movement, they felt as if their entire bodies had been hit by a hammer. They grimaced in pain.
“F*ck, we’ve been captured.”
“Where are we? Let go of me.”
“I really should have killed back then.”
“You won’t be able to escape. The police will find this place soon.”
Hearing that, Jack revealed a hint of a cold smile. “Do you know how long you were unconscious for? I ran along the road for an hour. I don’t think you’ll be able to guess what this place is. Neither will the police. Even if they knew and rushed here as fast they could, the live broadcast would have ended by the time they get here.”
