Chapter 773: Chapter 763: The Final Execution

In the beginning, the old principal was evasive in his words, but Tao Qingqing was right beside him, and the vampire’s mind control made it impossible for him to hide anything.

The principal knew Ning Zhewan had once been from that orphanage because Ning Zhewan had found him before, but after some questioning, Ning Zhewan let the old principal go and promised to keep his secret.

This slightly surprised Wen Wen. If Ning Zhewan could forgive this principal, why couldn’t he forgive others, especially when there were innocents among those eight people?

After the interrogation was over, Wen Wen used an Eraser to make the principal forget the encounter and immediately went to Ning Zhewan’s rental near Fortune School.

Logically speaking, since Ning Zhewan had just resigned, it was very likely that he would go home.

Unfortunately, Wen Wen arrived to find the place empty and anything of value had been taken.

"Strange, where could he have gone?"

Wen Wen had thought that since Ning Zhewan was merely an ordinary person, finding him should be quite easy. Now it seemed he had been too arrogant before.

Tracking the scent, it disappeared after passing a certain supermarket.

Ning Zhewan’s phone was unreachable, so shifting there using Yan Biqing’s power was not possible.

Without an exact location, even the Magic Mirror couldn’t find him.

If there was enough time, Wen Wen certainly had ways to find Ning Zhewan, but tonight the Arbiter was set to reveal the voting results, followed by the execution.

In the Federation there was no live broadcast, so the Arbiter definitely needed to record the video in advance and upload it. Though there were still a few hours until six in the evening, time no longer allowed Wen Wen to use some of the more time-consuming searching methods.

"In that case... all I can do is watch as events unfold. Ning Zhewan might have already been captured by the ’Arbiter’ by now."

"But even if he was captured, I shouldn’t be completely without clues. I’ve tried every method I know that could quickly find him, but none have worked... Could the ’Arbiter’ be a superpower user?"

If the Arbiter were a superpower user, then Wen Wen’s interest in him would be greatly reduced.

Using Supernatural Power to accomplish all this, as opposed to accomplishing it all through sheer personal ability, would represent a fundamentally different level of difficulty.

Regardless of the Arbiter’s identity, since Wen Wen had been following this matter for so long, he certainly wanted to see it through to the end; all the answers might be revealed tonight.

...

In the evening, Wen Wen sent Tao Qingqing out to search for clues about Ning Zhewan.

She had now become a Disaster Intermediate Sequence vampire and could control a large number of bats to accomplish many tasks.

Given enough time, she could employ those bats to perform a carpet search of the entire Shenchuan City, marking every suspicious location.

Although this method was cumbersome and very time-consuming, as long as the Arbiter wasn’t a superpower user skilled in hiding, as long as he was within Shenchuan City, Tao Qingqing would certainly find him.

As for Wen Wen himself, he was definitely not about to engage in such monotonous physical labor.

He was already sitting on a sofa in a hotel, linking his laptop to the hotel’s screen, watching the Judgement video for tonight.

The quartz clock on the wall slowly turned, but when the hands reached six o’clock, a video popped up on the refreshed webpage.

Wen Wen took a deep breath. Some things should be resolved after this video.

After several seconds of buffering, the dark screen finally showed an image. It was a somewhat cluttered rental room with a chair in the center, and sitting on the chair was the indistinct-faced Arbiter.

Wen Wen’s expression grew a bit more serious. The place where the Arbiter was located might look like just a rental room, but the floor was adorned with a highly complex pattern in a reddish-brown dye, and the Arbiter sat right in the center of it.

Wen Wen, although he had never seen this pattern before, was very certain that it was a special rune with some kind of efficacy, and considering the complexity of the pattern, he feared it was not just about casting a ball of flames or summoning a minor demon.

However, no matter what, Wen Wen could not find anything extraordinary about the Arbiter; everything he did suggested he was just an ordinary person.

"Hello everyone, I am the Arbiter, and we meet again."

This time, the Arbiter’s voice sounded cheerful, as if he had encountered something delightful.

"Regarding Ning Zhewan, whom we talked about last time, the audience’s response was very enthusiastic, with only a minority believing that Ning Zhewan had a justifiable reason; the majority thought he deserved to die."

The screen showed the results of the last vote, with a total of 8425 people voting—1120 believed that Ning Zhewan did not deserve to die, while 7305 thought he did.

Wen Wen nodded; he was well aware of this outcome, as most of the viewers had put themselves in the place of the Arbiter, believing they had the right to decide the life or death of a stranger.

"Therefore, I will execute this Ning Zhewan."

Immediately, words like ’deserved death’ and ’serves him right’ appeared on the video’s live comments.

"However, before that, there are some things I would like to say to everyone."

The Arbiter fell silent for a while, and if it weren’t for the slight trembling of his body, Wen Wen might even have thought the video was frozen.

"This session of the Judgment video will end here."

After these words were spoken, the comments exploded far more intensely than when it was announced that Ning Zhewan would be executed.

People expressed their regrets as if the absence of the Arbiter executing criminals would lead to the immediate collapse of society.

"You might have also noticed that every criminal I executed was from Shenchuan City. I’m just an ordinary citizen of Shenchuan City who spent three years finding the evidence against those criminals."

Three years?

Wen Wen raised his eyebrows, noting that Ning Zhewan had also spent three years searching for the orphanage contractors.

"With my abilities, it will be difficult to find suitable people to execute in a short time. I am very happy and proud to have made Shenchuan City a bit cleaner."

"So this program will end after I execute Ning Zhewan."

"I am very happy that at the end of my life, I can do something meaningful."

A bunch of question marks surfaced in the comments, as the Arbiter’s words seemed to imply that his life was nearing its end.

Momentarily, Wen Wen’s eyes slightly widened, as he had already guessed something.

"And now, the execution begins!"

The Arbiter pulled out a revolver, and then removed his hood and mask.

The face that was revealed caused an uproar in the comments.

Because...

This face was exactly the same as that of Ning Zhewan from yesterday’s video, who had sought revenge for the orphanage but harmed the innocent!

"To the more than a thousand people who voted for survival, congratulations. In the very end, you didn’t make the wrong decision."

Then Ning Zhewan placed the barrel deep inside his mouth, and a gunshot sounded...
