Chapter 272 Relief
"Please, please show me."
"Yeah, okay." She took the envelope from the man's hand as if grabbing something, and examined the contents inside.
Inside the envelope was a piece of thick black paper.

Al Qassam Auction]
The two girls stared at the card together for a while, and then nodded to each other, indicating that they had grasped the current situation.
It seems that these people were all lured to the stage of the ‘Black Challenge’ in the name of participating in the auction.
Using forged invitations to gather the victims in one place is the same as the last observatory incident.
According to current intelligence, the so-called 'Black Challenge' is a killing game carefully planned by the Crime Victims Relief Committee.
There are only two players among them, the criminal and the detective.
The committee is the gaming platform.
The committee attracts qualified, high-quality "prisoners" through what they call redemption and restarting lives - people who have been deeply hurt by some evil deeds but ultimately unable to do anything about it.
Telling them the truth will not only arouse their desire for revenge, but also sell them sophisticated "techniques" to ensure that they can successfully revenge with a high degree of certainty.
However, although this committee provides prisoners with many conveniences, it also inexplicably adheres to the principle of fairness.
This fairness is another opponent player - the detective.
Detective is a test for prisoners. The moment the prisoner is ready, the committee will select a detective based on the total price of his techniques and send him a black challenge letter.
That's right, just like the one from Shichimura.
It indicates the method chosen by the prisoner and its required price.
It was as if he had assembled a powerful chain card deck and then simply revealed the card information to the detective.
Therefore, when the detective receives the challenge letter and opens the envelope equipped with a microchip, the signal for the start of the challenge will be officially sent.
After that, the prisoner only needs to successfully kill the target and not be exposed by the detective within 168 hours. When the time is up, his 'victory condition' will be completed.
In this way, the prisoner not only completes his revenge, but will also eventually receive a series of protections from the committee and a large amount of money returned by it.
I even heard Mr. Asakura Tadashi say that if you want, you can change your appearance, wipe out the past, and start a new life from scratch.
This is called 'relief'.
Yes, how could these 'prisoners' resist such a huge temptation? Maybe even she...
Wuyue Yuyue couldn't help but laugh at herself, but she immediately focused her attention back on the card just now.
"...Ah um~~, although my English is not very good, but I discovered that Al Kassam is the reverse spelling of massacre. In other words - this is a massacre.
