However, at this moment, I was captured and forced to participate in a survival game.
I knew that this Dark Night Judger was a ruthless butcher, so I had to play along with his rules.
I'm not afraid of death, but I can't die because my child needs me. So, I must stay alive, I must win.
After careful calculation, I narrowly managed to survive. That's great. I need to hurry home; my child's oxygen tank is running low.
But reality crushed my hopes. I still had to go through one more test before I could go home. Looking at that scalp-tingling barbed wire, I knew my odds were slim.
But what could I do? My child was still waiting for me, and I had no choice.
It hurts, it itches. I know I've lost a lot of blood. Persist, persist, I kept telling myself.
As my blood kept flowing, I felt so tired, so sleepy. I could barely keep my eyelids open.
Then, suddenly, I saw my child. He ran toward me, laughing. He wasn't wearing a breathing mask or a patient's gown.
He was so joyful, so lively.
I opened my arms, waiting for him to rush into my embrace. I had been waiting for this moment for so long, too long.
My child came closer and closer, but my vision was becoming blurrier and blurrier.
"Is this... death?"
Su Mo woke up from his dream. He had no expression on his face, just muttered to himself, "What is this? Was he wrong? Of course, he was wrong, but I can't despise Second Master Mei."
Paranoid personality disorder, this is a relatively common personality disorder.
The characteristic is: resorting to any means to achieve a goal, and unwavering in their pursuit. The paranoia of this personality disorder can be about anything, even something very small, which could lead to heinous crimes.
This kind of personality disorder is extremely dangerous because, perhaps, they were always a kind person. But once driven by their paranoia, anything can happen.
Su Mo clearly remembered that in his world, there was a movie about a mother who trained her daughter to become a ballet dancer.
In the movie, that mother had a terrifying paranoid personality disorder and ended up torturing her own daughter to death.
Su Mo spent two days editing a short video of about five minutes and then posted it online using Second Master Mei's account.
The short video became wildly popular in a short period of time because it was too sensational, too thrilling, and it wasn't censored.
Of course, the reason it spread so quickly also had to do with the operations of Brother Jianlai. He was quite cunning, not directly involved, so no one could trace it back to him.
"It's so thrilling. It's even more exciting than watching a movie."
"The Dark Night Judger is amazing. He came up with this kind of gameplay. Love it, love it."
"I have to say, watching these villains die one by one, I feel so satisfied. It's like the world has become a little cleaner, so refreshing."
"Hey, the person above me, I seem to feel the same way. Do you think we're also twisted?"
"Everyone, quickly save and bookmark this, it's likely to be blocked soon."
"Looking forward to the next big action movie, ┗|｀O′|┛Ao~~"

Looking at the heated discussions online, Su Mo was very satisfied. He had a feeling as if he were a short video blogger and his fans were urging him to post more.
He tilted his head and muttered, "Seems interesting. My fans are so cute and simple, just like me."
Inside the meeting room of the Special Investigation Team, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
"The Dark Night Judger is evolving, growing gradually, and the actions are getting bigger. This is not good news," said Wei Dongqing with a serious expression.
Li Yang said, "There is still one piece of good news. This Second Master Mei is related to the large-scale child abduction case in Xikang. Moreover, we found many skeletons and the body of a child in his villa. This child is Mei Wenhua's son."
Zhao Xiaobao looked pained and said, "The number of cases recently is increasing. We can hardly keep up with the pace of the Judger."
Wei Dongqing looked at Li Yang and asked, "Yangzi, any progress in the Third Ward?"
"Nothing. Besides the bodies and some residual items, there's nothing else left," he nodded slightly, then turned to Wu Xin and asked, "How is the investigation of the surveillance equipment going?"
Wu Xin shook her head and said, "I have verified all recent large-scale transactions of surveillance equipment, and they are mostly purchased by organizations. I also checked a few small transactions, but they are not suspicious. It seems that the Dark Night Judger has considered this and made separate purchases. We can't investigate further."
Qin Forensic Doctor said, "Nowadays, he is no longer live-streaming, but recording. This means we have even fewer opportunities. Currently, the only way to find him is through investigating vehicles and surveillance. Other methods have little effect."
Wei Dongqing nodded, "Regarding the vehicles, Yangzi has already investigated, but there's no progress. He uses the most common van, and the license plate is obscured. It's late at night, so it's impossible to see. It's unlikely that we can find any leads from the vehicles, and I suspect that he steals them every time he commits a crime."

Lately, Wang Jian has been feeling a bit down. Everyone knows that he is a private detective, and a very capable one at that.
As a result, more and more people have been seeking his services recently. At first, he could get away with some casual remarks.
But recently, he realized that he couldn't keep up with just being casual. People started suspecting him, and his reputation in the industry was in jeopardy.
After much thought, he felt that he had to do something to prove himself. Otherwise, the tall image he had painstakingly built would be ruined.
"Do I really have to take on a case? But I don't know how to investigate... what should I do, what should I do..."
"Oh, how about I take on a very difficult and challenging commission, pretend to investigate, and then leave? After all, it's just for show. I'll choose a difficult one, even if I can't complete it, it will still be reasonable."
Hmm, that's how it goes. But as a private detective, it's still important to maintain a certain image. An assistant should have one too.
Who should I choose? Let me think... Ah, I've got it!" Wang Jian pondered silently.
At the Archives Bureau, Su Mo was preparing for a new target for prosecution. He had grown fond of mass trials, finding them more interesting. However, he had already killed many of Xikang's villains, and the remaining ones weren't as easy to find.
So, he decided to extend his demonic grasp to other places. China was vast, and the world was vast too. There were plenty of villains for him to prosecute; he wasn't worried about running out of targets.
