“Clap, clap, clap.”
Justice was applauding her.
The solitary sound of his clapping echoed through the empty room, making it impossible not to feel a sense of dread.
“A wonderful performance. I must add one thing — when this lady later learned that Mr. Clown was in desperate need of money to pay for a dowry, she transferred all her savings into his account. At that time, she was already suffering from the same illness as Mr. Clown’s father. Even if I hadn’t invited her here today, she would have died from the complications of her disease in a few days. So, that is why I did not use an Execution Tool.”
Justice tapped his sternum with his fingertip as if making some sort of suggestion.
‘Cardiovascular disease? I wonder if it’s still within the scope of human medicine. If so, raising money would have been an easy fix, but what if it’s an incurable disease?’
“But I have the ability to release her from this sea of suffering. It all depends on whether you are willing to show her mercy. The rules remain the same. You two, give us your decision as well.”
Even the two people who had shown such mean-spirited faces when Number Four was being tortured could not help but feel a twinge of compassion.
Even if it was tiny, it was enough to create hesitation.
At their core, they were just ordinary citizens, not bloodthirsty maniacs.
Their first reaction to the death and blood of others would only be screaming and fear; they would never desire it.
So they didn’t have the courage to vote against her, which made the entire process go much more smoothly.
People’s consciences drove them to do what they thought was right.
They showed their mercy to the old woman, offering their sympathy in the form of votes.
Very quickly, the number of votes crossed 1,000 and continued to leap toward even higher numbers.
It was obvious that this limit was easily reachable, and Justice seemed to have done this intentionally.
“Very good, very good indeed. This way, I can peacefully send her out of this sea of suffering.”
At that moment, a strong sense of unease spread, as if this unpredictable Strange Person was about to do something heinous.
After all, “releasing someone from the sea of suffering” could have another meaning.
Justice’s eyes flickered with an uncertain light.
It was unclear if he was hesitating or if he simply couldn’t bring himself to strike yet because of his excitement.
Regardless of the choice he made, the result would be that he would obtain everything he sought.
Without a second thought, he strode forward and grabbed the old woman’s neck in a pincer-like grip.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone watching, he lifted her high into the air.
“HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!”
“THIS BASTARD IS LYING TO US!”
However, warm blood had already sprayed out, splattering a vibrant red that looked like the juice from two crushed tomatoes.
Before the people could even hear a single cry of grief, the pain was already over.
“Sorry, I have a bad habit. Whenever I get excited, I want to kill. I really couldn’t help myself. Watch, I’ll make her better.”
Justice licked the blood off his fingers, saying things that made one’s skin crawl while he repositioned the old woman’s corpse back onto the chair.
Immediately afterward, he used his massive frame to block the camera.
A strange chewing sound echoed in the background.
When Justice moved aside again, the image revealed was even more horrifying.
– Vomit!
Many viewers in front of their screens began to gag.
This level of disgusting stimulation was far too intense for those who hadn’t adjusted yet.
Even the veteran viewers had faces clouded with gloom, their hearts filled with disbelief.
People were right to say that Strange People are pure sin.
This monster, this monster —
“Bang!”
It was at that moment that the half-closed security door was kicked open with a violent thud.
The presence of this commotion was so strong that Justice could not ignore it.
In the middle of feasting on fear, he turned his head and clearly saw the face filled with shock and rage.
“Miss Irina, is it? Wait, it doesn’t seem to be — “
Before he could finish his sentence, Su Ya had already reached him in two or three steps.
Then, under his bewildered gaze, she landed a heavy punch right on his skull.
‘Why… why isn’t it working? I already used my ability…’
Justice thought in confusion.
Just a moment ago, after obtaining a massive amount of Dark Magic Power, he had begun to swell, and his body was gradually undergoing other changes.
His goat head had finally begun to transform; the two horns were shrinking inward, and the fur was gradually disappearing, exposing flesh-colored skin.
His hideous appearance was terrifying.
This form, neither human nor goat, was so bizarre that most people lost the courage to look directly at him.
He clearly felt that his “fear” had already affected the opponent, but why had she only paused for a moment before immediately regaining her senses?
Su Ya’s gaze was incredibly intense.
Her pair of azure eyes flickered with a soul-stirring radiance, like sunlight piercing through the deep sea.
Just by staring at Justice, she made him feel as if his very existence was about to evaporate.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen those illusions; it was just that she had already reduced this arrogant Strange Person back to being ordinary.
It was temporary, but it was enough time to deal with him, even without doing it herself.
“Little Mo, help me handle him.”
Tang Mo, who followed behind, was also dumbstruck.
She squeezed her own hands and looked at Su Ya with a face full of questions, seemingly asking how she was supposed to deal with a Strange Person in her current state of being completely powerless.
But soon, she realized what Su Ya had done.
Looking at Justice, who had fallen to the ground and was clutching his head for a long time after a simple punch, Tang Mo clenched her fists.
If this guy had also been sealed, then she really did have the confidence to win.
Since she was a child, she had always been bullied by a certain someone.
Whether it was in games or anything else, if there was something delicious, Tang Nai would snatch it; if there was something beautiful, Tang Nai would snatch it.
Thus, she had trained herself in karate and fighting techniques, though she never really had a chance to use them.
But now, she had the chance to show them off!
She circled behind Justice while he was still dazed and locked her legs firmly around his neck, easily putting him in a chokehold.
It was an uncommon strangling technique that was extremely difficult to set up.
However, once completed, even the strength gap between an ordinary man and woman wouldn’t allow him to escape.
He could only be strangled until he lost consciousness from a lack of oxygen.
After a long moment, Justice went still in a pathetic manner, and the livestream cut out on its own.
What Su Ya didn’t know, however, was that Justice currently had clones scattered everywhere.
Although the one here was the original body, it was also something he could discard, so she hadn’t truly caught the unrestrained Strange Person.
However, she did successfully find the target of this trip.
On the windowsill, Su Ya silently watched Tang Nai, who had her face turned toward the night view.
After being separated for so long, she couldn’t find it in herself to feel angry.
She just stood there dazed, staring at the other woman’s beautiful profile.
Tang Nai wanted this peaceful moment to last a little longer, but Su Ya was long accustomed to partings and reunions.
“Slap!”
A burning red mark appeared on her face.
“My junior, I’m back to beat you up.”
