"What? He wasn't the undercover agent?"

Cheryl screamed at the top of her lungs. Then, her whole expression twisted into madness. She lifted her slender neck and started shouting.

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die, hahaha… I'm going to die…"

She thrashed violently.

"Let me out. Let me out. Let me out!"

The only response she got was the crackling surge of electricity traveling through her chains. A powerful current shot through her entire body. Her limbs jerked uncontrollably until she finally collapsed, unconscious.

Rebecca protected her stomach with both hands while trembling, her voice shaking with sobs.

"Baby, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, I can't protect you."

I stared blankly up at the ceiling, my mind filled with the same looping thought.

Was I really going to die here? I was only 25. Was this really how it would end?

Dwayne wasn't the undercover agent. Which meant the agent was still among us.

I closed my eyes, sinking into despair.

  • The Judgment Chamber   Chapter 12

    Based on my understanding of Byron, I guessed he would go after Elizabeth.Sure enough, he took the bait. The moment he saw her, he set his sights on her.-Extra: Cheryl's POVMy name was Cheryl, and I grew up poor.Real poverty brings nothing but pain and humiliation. We were so poor that even my teachers looked down on me. One day, I overheard them whispering in the office."That kid from the middle of nowhere is disgusting. She always smells like a pigsty."That was the moment I realized I would never escape the chains of class and poverty.I wanted money. I wanted a lot of money.And right then, Byron found me.He told me to get close to Elizabeth. He often had me deliver things to her. Each time, he paid me 1,000 dollars.To me, that was a huge amount of money; more than I had ever seen in my life. Things kept snowballing until the day Byron told me to lure Elizabeth into the woods.I knew something was wrong, but he offered me ten thousand dollars that time.Ten

    Furious, I killed the cat I had given Elizabeth.She cried her heart out. Honestly, I actually regretted it for a moment.But that regret didn't last long. One day, the city commissioner's son, Byron Cohen, came looking for me. He thought I was Elizabeth's boyfriend.He swaggered up, riding on his father's power, and slapped my cheek lightly. "Listen, kid. Stay away from Elizabeth. She's mine."I was angry at first, but then he pulled a wad of cash out of his bag.Immediately, I shut up.The little brat had money. I realized that as long as I stayed close to him, the cash he tossed around without thinking could support me for months.I became his shadow, flattering him endlessly. On the day he got released without charges, I was the one who told him that Elizabeth's family planned to report him again.That was when he decided to kill them.I honestly thought Byron was just going to scare them a little. I never imagined he would actually murder the entire family.I panicke

    "Hurry! Let me out! I won!" I shouted at the chamber's speaker."What's the rush?"A voice suddenly rang out behind me.I spun around in terror and saw Oliver, the one who had died at the very beginning, walking toward me perfectly intact.My eyes locked onto his neck as he rolled it casually and stopped right in front of me. "What's the rush? Don't you want the money?"I stepped back, shocked. "You're the Butcher?"Oliver nodded. Then, he reached into his right pocket and pulled out a check. "Five hundred thousand per person. Five people total. I'll round you up and give you three million."He was the Butcher.Half a month ago, I had run out of money completely. That was when someone using the screen name "The Butcher" contacted me.He asked me to join a game. Every time I eliminated a player, I would get 500 thousand dollars.I thought it would be some harmless challenge.Until the first person died.That was when I realized it wasn't a normal game at all. It was a prem

    The chains hooked to Cheryl's arms and legs suddenly yanked in opposite directions. The gears connected to them spun violently, and her body was torn into several large pieces in an instant.Blood splattered everywhere. The mangled pieces of her body hung from the ceiling of the chamber.The speakers crackled again."Unfortunately, even after several rounds, you still haven't identified the undercover agent. But since everyone has participated so enthusiastically, we will adjust the rules of the game."Only one of you may leave this room alive. The two of you must negotiate."The one who survives must give the index finger of their right hand as the price for leaving. The one who does not leave will remain sealed in this room forever."Rebecca and I stared at each other.With a rattle, the chains on our bodies loosened.Rebecca suddenly collapsed to the floor, clutching her stomach. "It hurts… It hurts…"I rushed over and helped her up. Her face was pale, her breathing rough,

    Helen's body hung from the metal chains, swinging back and forth in the air.Watching it swing, Rebecca couldn't hold it in and started vomiting loudly. Cheryl was so shocked by the sight that she couldn't say a single word.The speakers crackled again."The game continues."What?Helen wasn't the undercover agent!For more than ten minutes, the entire chamber was so silent that it felt suffocating.Until a sudden, sharp burst of laughter pierced the quiet."Hahahahahaha…"Cheryl's lipstick was smeared all over her mouth, leaving her looking completely disheveled and pitiful.Her hair was a tangled mess, covering her crazed, unfocused eyes. "I'm gonna die… I'm gonna die… I'm gonna die here…"Rebecca finally broke down as well. She sobbed uncontrollably. "Who's behind this? Why are they doing this to us? Why are they killing us? What did we do wrong?"Helen wasn't the undercover agent.So who was?Since the game was still going, the agent had to be one of the two still bes

    Helen's voice shook, her words tangled. "H-How can you say that about me? It really isn't me! I'm not lying. I'm not the undercover agent!"Human hearts are unpredictable. Even so, people still make assumptions about others as long as it benefits themselves.Even if they're wrong.Helen kept explaining, but Cheryl and Rebecca clearly didn't believe her. Helen finally looked at me, as if begging for help.Yes, she helped me. If it weren't for her, I probably would have died in the earlier rounds.But I wanted to live.Even if she wasn't the undercover agent, even if the truth didn't matter that much… People would do anything for their own benefit. It has always been that way.I pretended not to see her and turned my head away. I felt sorry, but we needed someone to eliminate…and Helen was the best choice.As long as one more person was gone, I would be one step closer to winning. If I could hold out to the end, I could leave here alive.I wanted to stay alive. Nothing matte
