Chapter 789: 336 Semi-transparent Light Screen

“Hello, I’d like to ask, what specific explanations or opinions does the Los Angeles police have regarding their actions causing the hostage’s death during today’s live-streamed murder?” a journalist impatiently asked.

“Hello, I’d like to know, what specific measures will the Los Angeles police take next regarding this case?” another journalist immediately followed up with a question.

“Excuse me, regarding Jack Thompson’s actions coercing minors into drug trafficking, didn’t the police notice any signs beforehand?” Yet another journalist raised a sharp question.

“…”

The journalists bombarded David with questions like a relentless torrent of bullets.

As David patiently answered their inquiries, the bus Ye Tian was riding slowly arrived at the station near the school. He stepped off the bus, initially full of anticipation to attend the afternoon criminology psychology class, only to receive a notice that Associate Professor Lu, their criminology psychology instructor, had an emergency, and the class was canceled.

For a moment, Ye Tian found himself aimless. After some thought, he decided to head to the school’s library. There, he carefully selected several books related to crime psychology, found a quiet spot, and began to read earnestly. Deep down, he understood that since he had chosen this distinct path to punish evil and seek justice, he must delve deeper into understanding the psychology of criminals than the police do. He even needed to study criminal psychology to uncover how the police think and their investigative logic.

However, Ye Tian had barely quieted his mind and begun reading when the system’s cold and mechanical electronic voice suddenly rang in his mind without any warning:

“Ding! Evidence collection complete, mission officially launched!”

As the system voice faded, a semi-transparent screen instantly appeared before Ye Tian. The details of this mission were clearly displayed on the screen:

[Major Mission: Judge the leaders of Oscar’s criminal syndicate.]

[Mission Duration: 5 days.]

[Mission Rewards: Golden Treasure Box x1, Level-1 Body Enhancement Card x1.]

[Failure Penalty: Random.]

[Target Information: Oscar, male, 43 years old, leader of Los Angeles human trafficking syndicate, Chairman of Haitian Construction Group, Director of Bo’ai Orphanage, the wealthiest man in Los Angeles; Sin Value: 113; Crimes: Orchestrating the kidnapping of children from surrounding states, hiding them within the orphanage, engaging in organ harvesting.

[…]

Looking at the horrific and heinous details displayed on the screen, Ye Tian felt a surge of rage well up instantly. His entire body trembled uncontrollably with fury. His fists clenched tightly, his fingernails digging deeply into his palms, leaving distinct bloody marks.

Droplets of bright red blood slowly dripped from the gaps in his palms onto the table, yet Ye Tian seemed completely oblivious, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.

Over a thousand lives!

Oscar’s syndicate had wreaked havoc in Los Angeles for ten years, brutally sacrificing over a thousand innocent lives to satisfy their insatiable greed!

No wonder the system took such a lengthy time to collect evidence and information–it turned out these monsters had committed such unimaginable atrocities!

Thinking of this, Ye Tian suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with icy determination as he headed straight toward the library exit. At this moment, only one thought consumed his mind: he must bring this atrocious group to justice immediately, especially Oscar–the mastermind behind it all. He must pay dearly for his sins!

However, just as Ye Tian was about to step out of the library, the system’s cold and indifferent electronic voice echoed again in his mind:

“Ding! As the host’s points have exceeded 5000, starting from this mission, the system will no longer assist the host in apprehending targets. The mission targets will now be captured by the host independently.”

“Ding! As the host’s points have exceeded 5000, starting from this mission, the system will no longer assist in target apprehension. Mission targets will now be independently captured by the host.”

The system’s icy words resounded in Ye Tian’s mind, striking like a heavy hammer pounding his nerves. Ye Tian froze abruptly, his previously resolute steps immediately slowed, and his brows furrowed tightly into a deep crease. He had never expected the system to withdraw its assistance at such a critical moment. The sudden change left him feeling caught off guard.

In previous missions, as long as he locked onto a target, the system would act like a reliable assistant, promptly providing effective means to apprehend the target. But now, without the system’s support, the difficulty of this mission had multiplied exponentially. It was like scaling a towering, thorn-filled peak, with every step fraught with obstacles and challenges.
