Chapter 187: If You Want to Succeed, You Must First Learn to Sacrifice
Kacha!
The door of the room was unlocked.
Adonis and Peter welcomed the second stage.
When they opened the door, they saw that the light in the room was not very sufficient and it was a little dim. The only source of light was a table lamp on the table. The two of them carefully walked in, and there was a musty smell in the air.
Kacha.
When the two of them entered the room, the lock was automatically closed.
The two of them glanced at the room. The mottled walls looked a little shabby, like a haunted house in a game, making them feel uneasy.
At this moment, Jack’s cold voice sounded.
“Congratulations on entering the second level. This level is very simple. As long as you open the door, you can clear it. However, opening the door requires a combination of four numbers. If you want to get the pa.s.sword, you have to make a certain sacrifice. Listen carefully. The key numbers have already been engraved on the lower jaw wisdom teeth at the back of your teeth, one on each side. As for the specifics, you can choose for yourselves. On the table in front of you, there is a drawing that recorded the placement of the teeth and the sequence of the combination of numbers and pa.s.swords. Remember, on the road of rebirth, there must be sacrifices. False is true, true is false. Sometimes there is no action, sometimes there is. Everything is up to you. There is no time to lose. You only have five minutes. If you can’t open the door in five minutes, you will die in this moldy room.”
As soon as he finished speaking…
Tick tock.
The pa.s.sword lock’s timer was turned on.
The two of them immediately walked to the table. Sure enough, there was a picture on it with the number 1 on the left and 2 on the right. There was also an old stainless steel clamp on the table. It was a jaw grinder used by dentists.
“Hiss, just looking at it makes my teeth hurt, let alone pulling it out directly. There’s no anesthetic.”
“No wonder they were separated. Otherwise, they would have just looked at each other.”
“Do you think I can tell you that everything that the judge does has his reason and wisdom? Why is this room so dark? There’s only a table lamp, not the bright lights just now. There’s a deeper meaning behind all of this. It’s normal that you don’t understand. After all, there are thousands of people in the world, but the Death Judge is unique.”
“Haha! I think you’ve gone mad. I admit that the Death Judge’s IQ is top-notch, but it’s not as ridiculous as what you said, right? Why didn’t you say that those mottled wall putty also have a deeper meaning?”
The netizens began to have an intense debate. At this time, the Zero Major Crimes Squad was also deep in thought.
“F*ck! The Death Judge even came up with a poem. Is he trying to act cool?” Willie raised his eyebrows.
Ross snorted and said, “He has done everything he can to act cool. Do you think there’s a need to be so deliberate?”
“Could it be that there’s a trap?”
Monica said, “It’s not impossible. He might want to tell the two of them that what he sees may not be real. Everything in the world is illusory. It’s either real or fake. There’s reality within the illusion. It’s like a dream bubble, like fog and lightning. Could it be…”
Monica’s long voice made everyone anxious.
“Could it be what? Sister Mo, don’t beat around the bush.”
“Yes, did you see the flaw again?”
Monica shook her head, she said, “I don’t know if there’s a trap in his mind this round. I just think that with the Death Inquisitor’s personality, he wouldn’t recite a poem for no reason. Thinking back to what he said before, on the road to success, there will always be sacrifices. Could it be related?”
Willie felt like his brain was turning. He usually hated this kind of question the most, and his head suddenly hurt.
Loggins said, “It’s not impossible, but what does sacrifice mean? Pulling out teeth…it feels too ridiculous.”
Monica shook her head. “I’m not very sure. What did he say that poem for?”
At this time, in the live broadcast room, only the ticking clock was ticking rhythmically, and it was neither fast nor slow.
Peter looked at the dental forceps, and the words of the Death Judge rang in his mind. Learning to hurt himself was the best way to protect himself.
Was he really going to pull them out?
Those were two wisdom teeth.
And under the teeth were the nerve lines of the dental pulp. If he pulled them out just like that, there would be no anesthetic, no hemostatic agent, and he would not die from the pain.
Peter could not help but shiver.
If you wanted him to kill someone, he could do it without blinking, without any hesitation.
He would kill without blinking.
But at this moment, pulling out his own teeth made him shiver. He was so afraid of inflicting pain upon himself.
‘f.u.c.k! d.a.m.n Death Judge, you must be playing me again.’
He picked up the pliers and hesitated for a long time, then put them down.
At the same time, Adonis in the other room was also hesitant. He picked up the pliers and put them down.
“No, there must be another way. There must be a way to get the number without pulling out the tooth. Yes, I still have time. Let me think.”
Adonis was extremely afraid of pulling out his own teeth by force. Moreover, there were no medical facilities around him. There was no anesthetic. He was afraid of pain.
Looking around, Adonis frowned.
How could he get the pa.s.sword?
The room was empty. There was no mirror, no second person, and there wasn’t even a reflection. No one could see the pa.s.sword unless they knocked their teeth out.
What should he do? What should he do? There must be another way, right??
‘Ah, Death Judge, you d.a.m.n b.a.s.t.a.r.d.’
Both of them were on the verge of breaking down. They stood in front of the table and painfully dug out their brain cells. When the netizens saw that both of them were stunned, they lost their composure.
“F*ck, what’s going on with these two? Why are they both stunned?”
“It’s very obvious that they’re using a method other than tooth extraction.”
“Is there anyone who can beat them up to a.n.a.lyze it? How can we break this game without tooth extraction? Is there any shortcut?”
“It’s not as big as the Death Judge’s plan. Anyway, I can’t think of anything. However, the two lines that the streamer recited were very strange. I don’t know if there’s any deeper meaning behind it.”
The netizens were staring with wide eyes in antic.i.p.ation. Adonis and Peter racked their brains to think of a countermeasure. Under the light, their expressions were gloomy and uncertain.
In the blink of an eye, a minute pa.s.sed.
Peter raised his head to look at the time. There was a hint of panic in his eyes.
A minute. He could not think of any solution. What should he do? Was he really going to pull it out?
At this moment, Adonis was also full of worry. A layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead because he knew very well that even if he were to pull out the tooth, he could not wait until the last minute. Otherwise, there would be no time at all.
Tick tock.
More seconds pa.s.sed.
At this time, Peter broke the silence of the live broadcast room.
“Ah, ah, ah, what do you want? Tooth extraction, right? Hurting yourself is protecting yourself, right? Death Judge, say something,” Peter roared loudly.
“d.a.m.n it, sacrifice, right? It’s just two wisdom teeth, I’ll pull them out for you.” Peter then picked up the toothpicks and opened his mouth, pressing the toothpicks against the teeth. However, he exerted a little strength and felt a piercing pain, he felt as if his entire gums were about to split open.
“Wu Wu Wu! Ah, f*ck!”
Peter immediately stopped. Saliva and mucus flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He looked extremely pathetic.
“F*ck, you screamed so miserably. I thought I had pulled them out, trash!”
