Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

After hearing Jack's response, David did not relax his vigilance but directly ordered, "Jack, right? Since you are a police academy student, you should understand procedures. Please face the wall, hands raised high, and press against the wall without moving."

"Okay."

Jack nodded, raised his hands, turned around, and obediently stood against the wall as David commanded.

At this moment, another bedroom door slowly opened a crack, and Lin Yue cautiously poked her head out. Seeing that it was police officers at the door, she quickly stepped out of the room, showing joy, and said, "Officers, you're finally here. Just now, Zhou Qiang tried to assault me. Fortunately, this kind-hearted man arrived in time, otherwise, I would have..."

As she spoke, Lin Yue's eyes reddened again, her tears welling up.

"So you're the one who called the police?" David put away his gun and asked.

Lin Yue nodded and answered, "Yes, I called the police."

"And it was he who rescued you just now?"

David pointed at Jack and asked again.

"That's right, if it weren't for this kind-hearted person showing up in time, that bastard would have succeeded." Lin Yue said while wiping her tears.

After confirming with Lin Yue that Jack was not the perpetrator, David nodded, looked past Lin Yue, pointed at the door to the master bedroom, and ordered, "Yang, go open the door."

"Got it!"

The young officer following David responded, then quickly ran to the bedroom door, tried turning the doorknob, and found that it seemed to be locked from the inside, completely impossible to open from outside.

The young officer, upon realizing this, released the handle, turned around and reported, "Report, this door is locked from the inside, it can't be opened from the outside."

"Can't be opened?"

Hearing this, David frowned, realizing something was amiss. How could a rapist, after being discovered, not flee immediately but instead lock himself inside the victim's home?

"Ms. Lin, do you have the key to the door?" David asked.

Hearing the police asking for the key, Lin Yue glanced at the lock on the door, and truthfully replied, "I usually keep the door key in the lock, but now it's missing, maybe those two bastards took it."

Taken away?

Hearing this, David's frown deepened.

"Since there is no key, we'll have to break in, you don't mind, do you?" David asked.

"Oh, it's fine, no problem." Lin Yue nodded.

With the homeowner's permission, David, without a word, walked to the door and kicked it open.

Upon seeing the scene inside the bedroom, even though he had handled many major cases, his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

The room's floor was covered with scarlet bloodstains and shards of flesh. A tall young man was leaning against the corner of the floor, his chest bloody and mangled, covered with bite marks.

In the middle of the room lay an adult Caucasian Shepherd Dog. Its eyes were blood red, its mouth wide open, and its tongue was hanging on the ground. Moreover, the dog was covered in blood, its belly slightly rising and falling, clearly still alive.

"Ah!!!"

Lin Yue, who was curiously peeking in from behind David, was so frightened by the bloody scene that she covered her face and screamed as she ran back to the living room.

At this time, David came back to his senses and quickly told the young officer, "Quick, call an ambulance!"

"Yes!"

The young officer had never seen such a scene before and already felt unwell. Upon hearing David ask him to call an ambulance, he promptly pulled out a walkie-talkie and quickly walked out.

After instructing the young officer to call an ambulance, David turned to look at Jack, who had been neglected for a while on the side.

"Alright, you can put your hands down now. I would like to ask you about the situation." David said, patting Jack on the shoulder.

Jack obediently lowered his hands, turned to face David. After all, this punitive action was a private judgment and was not live-streamed. Regardless of how the police investigated, they would ultimately conclude that the dog suddenly went berserk and attacked its owner.

Moreover, Jack was already well-versed in the routine of police questioning and had prepared a set of explanations in his mind, confident that he wouldn't be suspected.

"Please recount the whole series of events." David took out a notebook and pen from his jacket pocket and said.

Jack nodded, pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, "It went like this, this morning, I was planning to return to school, and when I was passing by Starlight Park..."

Five minutes later, Jack recounted the prepared narrative in his mind to David.

"So, you're saying you just locked those two in the room and don't know what happened afterward, right?" David asked while taking notes.

"Exactly." Jack nodded.

"I have a question. The event in the park was over and had nothing to do with you, so why were you here?" David raised his head, staring at Jack intently.

Upon hearing David's doubt, Jack knew that David was still skeptical of his account. Thus, he looked directly into David's eyes and seriously said, "According to criminal psychology, when a person decides to commit a crime, their mental activity becomes extremely intense, externally manifested in abnormal behavior and sudden changes in expression. It was based on these two points that I speculated those two might have malicious intentions, so I quietly followed."

Although David's face did not reveal any expression in response to Jack's answer, internally he had basically cleared Jack of suspicion.

"Alright, give me your student number, class, and phone number. If there are any further developments, I'll contact you." David said after completing the notes, handing the notebook to Jack.

Jack said nothing, nodded to the still-shaken Lin Yue, and then walked out of her house.

Only after exiting the complex did he slowly exhale the stale air from his chest.

After this incident, Jack deeply realized that the influence of the live judgment over this period was far less significant than he had imagined.

Perhaps live judgment could somewhat restrain those truly going deeper down the path of crime, but hoodlums like Zhou Qiang simply don't care. That's because the targets of the Dark Law Enforcer's judgments are mostly those heavily laden with murder cases, gravely evil individuals.

And those who commit minor villainies, though they haven't committed murder or rape, greatly affect the daily lives of ordinary people, and fall out of the range that the Dark Law Enforcer can judge, which is why they act so recklessly.

Thinking about this, Jack summoned the system in his mind and said, "System, I've discovered a loophole in the rules."

"The system has no loopholes." The cold electronic voice of the system sounded in Jack's mind.

"What I mean by loopholes may differ from your understanding. I mean the system requires a Sin Value of 60 or above to initiate a live judgment, but what about those hoodlums with a Sin Value below 60? Although they haven't killed or raped, should they be allowed to run rampant and oppress the people?"

Jack questioned forcefully.

This time, the system did not immediately refute Jack's question but remained silent for a long time. Just when Jack thought the system would ignore him, the system's cold voice resumed in his mind:

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for discovering a loophole in the system rules, reward: 1000 points."

"Ding! The system has modified the rules based on the host's discovery, please review the changes on your own."

As the system's cold electronic voice fell, a familiar stream of information flowed into Jack's mind. Subsequently, he understood the new rules after the system's modification.

Essentially, the system's rules remained largely the same, with modifications made regarding live judgment, and new game types added.

Under the new rules, individuals with a Sin Value of 60 or above would face Death Judgment, while those with a Sin Value below 60 and a record of bad deeds would undergo Reform Judgment.

From a literal perspective, Reform Judgment is a type of judgment established to reform individuals with a history of misbehavior. Like Death Judgment, if one refuses to comply with the game's rules, it will be regarded as refusing reform, with the consequence of refusal being death!
