Chapter 23: Death Notices, Again
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
The following week, Jack worked seven straight night shifts.
The days and nights were reversed.
Just thinking about it made Jack depressed.
These days, he had to commute to work every day, and the routine really bored him.
In addition to that, in the days before the broadcast, the Death Inquisitor began to fade from everyone’s sight, and the once-hot death broadcast room became a topic of conversation only when people were gathering around.
The news media’s coverage of the live broadcast of death also decreased.
However, the Zero Task Force had not slacked off. In the past few days, they were persistent in tracing the bank account and the surveillance camera that showed the back of the Death Judge.
Unfortunately, there was a stump, and there were no developments at all!
Meanwhile, activities at Winston High School had gone back to normal somehow. It was back to its usual state of tranquility.
No one on the Internet paid attention to Linda, the student who jumped off the school building. The people seemed to have forgotten that there could be many students like Linda. They seemed to have ignored the fact that the person responsible for her death is still alive and being protected by a high-ranking official. No one cared anymore.
“F*ck! Who put this here?!” Chapman, who was in his third year of high school, roared as he jumped up from his chair with a terrified expression on his face.
He took out a card from the drawer under his table.

Chapman’s shout frightened all those around him. Everyone was quiet.
“What’s wrong, Chapman? Who offended you?” Two tall students walked over to Chapman to ask him.
Chapman directly ignored the two of them. Seeing that no one else in the class was talking, Chapman’s gaze fell on Tom, who was sitting against the wall not far away. Catching his gaze, Tom immediately turned his head back, but this small action of his immediately aroused Chapman’s suspicion.
“F*ck you!” Chapman walked over to Tom while swearing. He rushed towards Tom and kicked him from the bench to the ground.
“Did you put it there? F*ck you!”
Tom was curled up in a corner with a footprint on his body. He shook his head repeatedly and pleadingly said, “Chapman, I don’t know. I really didn’t put it there.”
Chapman glanced at Tom, then turned to the other students in the classroom and shouted, “Did anyone see that Tom didn’t put it there?”
The classroom was silent. At this time, no one dared to say anything.
“So many people think it was you who put it there! How dare you say that it wasn’t you who put it there!” Chapman roared.
“F*ck your mother! If I say I wasn’t me, then it wasn’t! I think you want me to die! You bastard!” Tom yelled amidst groans of pain.
As he spoke, Chapman kicked Tom in the stomach again.
“Chapman, it really wasn’t me. Please spare me.”
“If you say your mother is a whore, then I’ll spare you. Otherwise, I’ll let you eat shit after school!”Chapman said with a wretched smile.
Tom gritted his teeth.
“Are you going to say it or not? F*ck your mother, you bastard!” Chapman jumped and kicked him again.
“Please don’t hit me, I’ll say it, I’ll say it...” Tom was already very weak.
“Say it!”
“My mother...my mother...is a bitch...” After saying that, Tom’s tears flowed down.
“Hahahaha! Did you hear that? His mother is a bitch, so she gave birth to him, this little bastard. He’s really like a dog. Hahahaha!” Chapman spat at Tom, then left triumphantly and tore the card into pieces.
No one in the classroom dared to speak. They only looked at the pitiful Tom with sympathy.
After he left, the two tall students glared at Tom fiercely.
After a while, the dead silence of the classroom slowly returned to its noisy state.
In the blink of an eye, the class was over. Everyone left the classroom and went to the playground. Chapman brought the two tall students to the northern part of the school library.
There was a narrow corridor behind the library. Chapman liked to smoke there after class. He even had sex with girls in the corridor in broad daylight. No one could hear him there.
It was a dirty area. There were cigarette butts, sanitary napkins, condoms, and so on.
However, Chapman would have his two lackeys clean up the battlefield regularly.
“You two, wait for me here!” Chapman threw two cigarettes to his lackeys and lit one for himself.
When Chapman went in, there were already three people inside. There were two men and one woman. They were all dressed in fancy clothes. The man had his ears pierced and his head shaved. The woman was wearing stockings, a short skirt, and a shirt that was almost translucent. The three of them were squatting on the ground, and they were all smoking.
“Chapman, you’re here. Did you receive the death notice?”
Chapman was stunned. “You received it too?”
“Yes!”
The three of them took out their death notices as they spoke.

Aside from their names, everything else on their cards was the same.—the time, crime, and executor were all the same. Chapman looked at it, took out a lighter, and lit it.
“Why did you burn it?” Chris asked as he stood up.
“Why would you want to keep it? As a souvenir? Or to remind us we pushed Linda?” Chapman said coldly.
With a trembling, fearful voice, Chris said, “The question is, who put it there? It can’t really be the Death Inquisitor, right? Then we’re all going to die.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. My father found a witch to mediate for me and said that I can be a high-ranking official and live to be more than 90 years old!” Grant said as he shook his hair.
“There hasn’t been any news about the Death Inquisitor in the past few days. This morning, my heart kept beating, and I felt a little uneasy,” Chris said.
Chapman chuckled. “Look at all of you looking so stupid. Are you the bosses of Winston High School? The police station has set up a special task force to investigate the Death Judge. He must have been afraid of them, so he must have run away. Besides, we are not adults yet. Will he come and kill us when we’re not yet even adults? Maybe there’s some bastard trying to scare us. If I find out who it is, I will definitely break his legs!”
Chapman clenched his fists fiercely as he spoke.
“F*ck. I was almost scared to death in the beginning. If I find out who it is, I will let him drink my urine!”
“I want him to lick my sanitary napkin!” said the girl.
“That’s a good idea. Licking a mouthful of blood is so exciting.”
The four of them laughed loudly and forgot about the death notices.
Ding!
The subjects have received their death notices!
Jack opened his eyes slightly. After a busy night, it was finally time to begin.
