Chapter 1939 – 1939. The Dark Moon
They moved directly and supplied the criminals.
The story with the 6th Corps has already ended. Western traitors were granted the right to adjudicate treason without trial. Of course, it was absolutely impossible in normal times.
‘It was possible because the Heist Empire was a mess beyond imagination.’
The Imperial Army is good because it can reduce traitors, and I like it because I can supply and demand criminals. It can be seen that there is a loss of interest. It was the result of being applied to some extent by the 6th Corps commander who was kind to me.
‘It was quite frustrating to capture wearing a mask, but there were enough results.’
In one week, about 1,200 traitors were captured. More than half of them were family members of traitors. According to imperial law, the traitor’s family was a traitor, so there was no problem.
“Chief! Everything is ready!”
A subordinate shouted outside the barracks. I got up from my chair and took out the mask from the desk drawer. It is different from the mask used to catch traitors. A colorful smiling mask. I made it myself with a simple enchanted artifact that modulates my voice.
Wear a mask. It’s a little stuffy, but not to the point of being uncomfortable.
Went out
When my subordinate saw me, he saluted. I shook my head.
“From now on, I am not the warden. You are not a soldier either. Don’t salute If you call me warden, I will kill you.”
“All right.”
“Begin the final check. It starts in 30 minutes.”
“Yes!”
The load has left. He was wearing a black coat, not a military uniform. I glanced around.
This wasn’t Lemen Prison. It is a wasteland a little far from there. The place where I fought the necromancer. Unlike then, many buildings and devices were installed. Of course, it was natural that it was basically wide. Like an event venue.
I wandered around the wasteland to check the condition. No problem.
Some of the staff were dressed in red. He wore a bomb necklace around his neck and a crying face mask. They were prisoners who had been sentenced to correctional labor. It was perfect to pamper them because they had professional skills such as medicine, technology, and wizards.
“Master! It’s time!”
One of his men in a black coat shouted. I nodded and headed for the stage.
Several state-of-the-art cameras rotate around the stage.
I sat on the highest chair. A golden mask in a tuxedo approached me. He was the host of the show.
“How is the rehearsal?”
“Successful. All machines are running without malfunction. I also turned the camera. No problem. The condition of the prisoners… Not bad.”
I took the tablet in my hand.
What I planned was an internet broadcast called ‘Rainbow Show’. It is to use the prisoners who are about to be executed anyway for entertainment.
Of course it’s illegal. Even though this world is the end, it keeps the line to a certain extent to the general public. Of course, ordinary people are well aware of how dangerous this world is, so they try not to get involved in that way.
‘If you film a show with ordinary people, it will be a problem. But these guys are prisoners. It will ease the remorse of the viewers.’
I saw viewers who entered the site and were waiting for the broadcast. That number alone is 300,000. The chat window was going up like crazy.
– Are you really putting on a hit-and-run show like this?
-Start quickly!
-Open the door!!! Door!!
-You make a show with people’s lives? Bastards to be punished.
-I immediately reported it to the police.
-Human rights are not meant to be ignored like this! Everyone! This site is crazy! Let’s all speak up for human rights!
– Human rights suck. Looking at the promotional video, all the bastards appearing here are criminals, right? There were also serial killers.
Opening the chat window was hot. It was thanks to the promotion by spreading the video all over the site.
‘It must have been quite intense since it was a video of a prisoner being torn to pieces.’
It was a deliberately brutal video to attract aggro.
‘What I want is not a lot of viewers. They are rich viewers.’
From the second episode onwards, only those who have the right to watch the show will be able to see it. The viewing rights are 3 million credits. It is a price that is not burdensome for the general public and makes people shake their heads.
‘Even if there are only 300 rich viewers out of 300,000, it is a success.’
The chat window was a mess even after a while. The one who openly curses, the one who drags aggro to report, the one who is full of expectations, etc.
‘I know the police will move right away if I report it.’
Even if a detective with a sense of justice moved, this was a heist empire. Police in other countries cannot even exercise public power. The military police of the heist empire? The essence of them were soldiers. A soldier who lays down from above. They couldn’t lead the work.
One minute until broadcast time.
I nodded to the presenter.
“Start.”
“Yep.”
The host heads to the stage where dozens of cameras are filming. Looking at her slightly trembling body, she seems to be nervous.
The cameraman gave an autograph and the show started. I checked the broadcast on the tablet PC. The camera director was from a broadcasting station, so the screen was pretty good.
“Hello! I am the host of the Rainbow Show! The name is a secret! The one sitting in the high shin over there is the show master! He is the one who planned and carried out this project!”
The camera was pointed at me. I didn’t even pretend to know the camera. Just sit arrogantly and look down on the show.
– Start quickly!
-Do you think I came here to see this guy?
– Tick tock!
-Hold your breath until you start. Suck!
“Haha! It looks like you guys are heating up a lot too!”
The chat window is also visible to the host in real time. As the person who directly hosts the show, his mask is made more special than mine. You can see the chat window as well as messages from staff.
“Before we begin, let me briefly explain the rainbow show! The show’s contestants are all criminals! There is no such thing as a pickpocket. All of them have experience killing people or have committed crimes equivalent to that! Put your conscience aside for a moment and enjoy the show! Oh, you say you have no conscience? You are the perfect viewer for Rainbow Show!”
The presenter shuddered every now and then. You’re wasting time In a place where the camera is not visible, the staff is busy moving to ensure smooth progress.
“The Rainbow Show runs once every 100 days. Maybe it will take longer than that. Please understand that it is unavoidable due to the nature of the show. This first episode is free, but don’t forget that from the second episode you will have to pay 3 million credits to watch the show! As we speak, the first show is ready!”
The camera pans behind the host.
A man was being dragged by the staff.
“Green corner!! Crime Harman, a young executive of the Resistance Echoes! A massacre who has killed hundreds of people by terrorizing the city squares! Look at those grim eyes! I can feel the will to kill anyone who gets caught!”
Chunk!
A restrained man and woman enter behind the crime. They were men and women in their 20s wrapped in rags.
“Who are those people following me? Of course he’s a criminal. Crim’s family. Criminals’ families are criminals.”
-Wow, I see the guy I saw on the news here.
-Crime fuck you bastard! Save my brother!!
-? I heard that he was caught and executed, but was he still alive?
-But aren’t you a crime orphan?
“Yes. Crime is an orphan. No family. They are the ones who lived in an orphanage with Crime. I had a bit of trouble finding it. It turned out that he was sponsoring an orphanage with the money he earned from committing terrorism. They are a community of crime and destiny. If Crime is eliminated from the show, I will die with them.”
– What is this doing? No matter how much you are a tetherist, this kind of thing is unacceptable. He must be judged by the fair law!
– Fuck! Free the crime! He is a citizen’s hero!
– Haha I think there are some terrorists here?
-Let’s just kill that bastard!
“Red corner! Poor Robert! A former soldier who killed my parents, who were also soldiers, and fled across the border! They killed dozens of people in the process of fleeing! He is ruthless enough to kill everyone he encounters just to erase traces and buy time! More than five families were annihilated by him!”
A woman and child enter behind Robert. The woman was holding a child under the age of five in her arms.
“Robert’s wife and son! While crossing the border, our eyes met and I even gave birth to a baby. We have captured and brought back the Roberts, who live in hiding in a very remote area! He killed everyone else’s family, and his own family lived in a remote place. Absolutely not!”
-Kill it quickly!!
– Deathmatch? Deathmatch? Deathmatch?
-Deathmatch, of course.
-Kill!!
“The first show is soul mate. The conditions are the same. You can’t use mana and you have to kill each other with only one knife! The time limit is 3 minutes! If no decision is reached within 3 minutes, both are eliminated! Elimination is an execution!”
The staff threw knives in front of them. Crime and Robert looked around and then looked at each other. They met each other for the first time. There was no such thing as resentment. However, they did not hesitate to show their intention to kill each other. Not only was his own life at stake, but the lives of his family as well.
“Okay, let me give you some time to place your bets before the first show! Bet who will win! Oh, you don’t have to walk! But betting would be more fun, right?”
Betting adds to the immersion. And fills my wallet
I checked the betting situation. The betting amount started to fill up at a tremendous speed. It didn’t take long for stakes of over 100 million credits to be staked.
‘Even the commission would be good enough.’
5 minute betting time.
The host recited the criminals’ deeds and appealed to them how evil and powerful they were. It was also time consuming.
The result was 7 to 3, and Crime, the tetherist, became the winner. As expected. Because the name “Terrorist” Carries weight.
“Let’s start our first show!!”
