Chapter 281: The Day Jeff Died

Ross’s face was livid.

Sulfuric acid was highly corrosive. Once it entered the body, it was as if Tom and the other two had been thrown into a blender.

It would destroy the cells of the body and corrode and destroy the internal organs. It would circulate through the blood and further circulate throughout the body. The whole body would be broken down and melted.

It was sure death as long as the concentrated sulfuric acid entered the body.

Moreover, it was 500 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid, which was 100 times more powerful than ordinary sulfuric acid.

Tom and the other two looked terrified. Their eyes showed great fear. Obviously, they also knew the harm of concentrated sulfuric acid, which was comparable to HIV.

No, it was even more terrible than that.

Was this revenge for the Charles Virus?

D*mn! If that was really the case, they would be screwed by this old guy.

“Ah, d*mn! Quickly think of a way to get rid of this d*mn thing.”

“D*MN, we are running out of time. Quickly think of a way, or we will all melt.”

As the seconds and minutes passed, their world was gradually shrouded in darkness. They were filled with unease, fear, and worry. They had mixed feelings.

They did not want to die. The game had progressed to this stage, and they did not give up on the hope of living. Their faces were twisted and revealed a hint of madness, which scared the police officers who came to ask for help.

Compared to Tom and Charles, Jeff looked relaxed and casual. He had already given up.

“It’s useless. We can’t beat the Death Inquisitor. From the moment we received our death notices, our fates have already been determined. No one can save us. It’s better not to struggle. If I had more time, I could be a good man again. But there’s no hope. Police officers, I beg you to just shoot me and kill me now. I don’t want to live anymore.”

Tom and the other two looked at him and found that his eyes were full of helplessness. They were shocked.

“Calm down. We’ll save you,” the police officer replied.

“Hehe. Your eyes tell me that you can’t defeat the Death Inquisitor either. It is just a waste of time. You’d better kill me. I beg you.”

F*ck, Jeff’s face was full of pleading.

The police were speechless.

Could they defeat the Death Inquisitor?

Deep in their hearts, they didn’t believe it. In their eyes, the Death Inquisitor was too powerful. The Zero Major Crimes Squad had investigated these unsolved cases for so many years, but they had not figured anything out until the Death Inquisitor came into the picture. Could they succeed?

Hearing Jeff’s words, Ross’s face was solemn.

He was struggling.

He was hesitating.

In front of the Death Inquisitor, were they really powerless?

Ross shook his head. It couldn’t be like this. The men being tortured were right in front of them, and they had to save them. It was not only their responsibility, but it was also their duty to fight and to let the Death Inquisitor know that they were not completely useless. If he could design it, he would definitely be able to crack it.

Five minutes more, and he would definitely be able to think of a way.

“Nica, let’s not worry about the people for now. Think of a way to crack it,” Ross said.

Monica frowned and fell into deep thought. Countless thoughts formed in her mind and were then overturned. After countless cycles, only two words remained in her mind. There was no solution.

She had observed earlier that the iron box was sealed around and could not be removed by force. She had no clue at all.

On the other side, the drunkard was also called out. He was seen scribbling on a piece of paper. There was a big box on the back of a small person. Below it was written “500 ml.” The words “No violence” were written. He frowned and fell into deep thought.

As time went by, everyone was thinking of countermeasures. When the netizens in the live broadcast room saw this scene, they were all in an uproar.

“Anchor, hold on. Don’t let them crack it.”

“Which arrogant netizen wants to explain? Is there any way to crack it?”

“I’ve tried my best. I really can’t think of anything. I admit that I’m not that smart. Everyone, please excuse me.”

“Hehe, maybe the streamer is a woman. It’s not a competition of who’s longer and who’s shorter.”

No one could come up with a solution. The police, the members of the Zero Major Crimes Squad, and the citizens of Kessel County were all deep in thought. There was nothing they could do.

Ross frowned. How could they crack it?

Time was almost over. What could they do?!

At this moment, the atmosphere was depressing and heavy. Tom and the other two were also rescued on the raft. They were racking their brains and trying to think of a solution. Until now, they could still feel the coldness and the aura of death on their backs.

At the scene, only Jeff looked relaxed. He glanced at Tom and the other two and said, “Give up resisting. The design of the Death Inquisitor is unsolvable. Even if you think about it, it’s probably part of our fate. In the end, you can’t escape the fate of death.”

“Shut up!” Tom was interrupted. He looked at Jeff with a cold gaze and said, “Since you’re going to die, why don’t you let them open the device behind you? That way, you can save our lives.”

Charles also echoed from the side, “Yes, as long as we open the device, I believe they will definitely think of a way. Young man, it’s been hard on you. I’ve treated you quite well these years. Just sacrifice yourself.”

Hearing this, Jeff sneered, “Even if I die, I won’t help the two of you. If it weren’t for you, I would have been a good man all these twenty-six years.”

Tom spoke in a deep voice. “It’s ridiculous. With your behavior, you’re still a good man. You’re a murderer in this life and a murderer in the next. If I didn’t save you, you would still be waiting for the execution in hell!”

“Young man, I’m begging you. Please turn on the device. I can’t die. I still have a daughter. If I die, no one will take care of her.”

It would have been better if he didn’t say it. When he mentioned that crazy daughter, Jeff went crazy. With bloodthirsty eyes, he said, “Your silly daughter should have died a long time ago. If I had killed him back then, nothing would have happened.”

Charles’s eyes instantly turned from pleading to cold.

“If it’s true, I would have been the first to kill you back then.”

Jeff shrugged indifferently. He didn’t struggle at all and looked like he was waiting for death.
