Of all the animals, humans are the only ones who are cruel.He is the only animal sadistic for pleasure - Mark Twain

"No! No——" The girl's howls had already lost her reason as the nails dug in vain at the tree trunk that bound her.

"I'm sorry! Please! Please! Please!" The beautiful face became extremely hideous, and the vague syllables were swallowed by the raging flames, and the sparks exploded, splashing a smell of burnt barbecue.

"Help me - save me!" The wailing became more and more shrill, and the girls next to them couldn't bear to hear it anymore. They couldn't help the girl who was being roasted alive, because they were all locked in four cages , the cage is so small that you can't even stand up straight.

He tightly covered his ears and nose with his hands, and shrank into the corner of the cage, shaking constantly.

Fear, trembling.

The raging flames turned the room orange, and as the skin was gradually dissolved, there was a warm burnt smell.

The cries for help became weaker and weaker.

The smell of flames, skin, flesh, and fat was so overwhelming that two girls vomited.

After what seemed like a long time, the crying finally stopped.

Watching a living person being tied to a wooden stake and burned to a shapeless charcoal, the girls on the sidelines almost went crazy.

With no source of combustion, the flame began to gradually weaken and extinguish.

Finally, silence returned.

On a wall in the darkness, a camera was blinking a tiny red light.

================================================== ======================

There is a large desk in the BAU meeting room.

The agents sat around the table staring at the pitch-black display screen, and there was a brief silence.

In the picture, it is the video of the inhumane fire torture.

"*, you said that this video has been widely circulated on the Internet?" Man's slender legs rested on the table. The strength of a senior detective and a black belt in judo made him muscular and powerful. He glanced at the online comments that were printed out, and there were many comments questioning the authenticity of the video and gloating.

After turning two more pages, he frowned and threw the book back on the table.

The blond and capable female detective nodded. Her name is Jennifer Jareau, and her colleagues in the same group call her *: "Yes. Since the release last night, the hit rate has exceeded one million, and this is not counting the reprinted parts everywhere— —Leave the details to Garcia.”

After being named, Garcia, a blond computer analysis technician with exaggerated clothes and a fat figure, turned his head away from the projection screen, exhaled and replied: "Yes! The publisher claimed to be [Martyr] , The video was released at twelve o'clock this morning. Just now, the number of online viewers has exceeded 10."

"Watch online?" From Garcia's incoherent words, Reid, the genius little doctor, grasped the point.

Garcia nodded, she would never understand why there are so many cruel people in the world: "Yes, this video...is played in real time."

Emily opened her mouth, even if she was rational, she felt that her throat was a little dry at this time: "That is to say, last night a girl was burned alive in front of the public? And when we are sitting here now, the murderer The video is still being recorded and uploaded?!"

Garcia: "Yes."

"What can we learn from the existing video?" Hotech, the administrative director of the BAU group, asked. As soon as his voice fell, the genius little doctor began to explain——

"Fire punishment first appeared in the earliest human legal document "Hammurabi's Code" around 1700 BC. In the book, fire punishment was listed as one of the three major punishments, and it was used as a punishment in medieval Europe and the ancient East. " Reid popularized the relevant knowledge to everyone: "But what makes me feel strange is that although so-called heretics, witches and other people who have influenced religious rule have been executed by burning at the stake in history, the steps and methods of using fire as a punishment are different. Different requirements. Not as rough as in the video."

Glancing at each other, everyone has long been accustomed to Reid's chatter, so representative Man asked——

"Rough?"

Reid looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, and then explained very quickly: "For example, the Gauls would put prisoners in a huge and strong wicker basket, and then set it on fire. The Japanese also used it in the 19th century. This method is said to be "extremely ornamental". The prisoner screams and jumps in the basket, but he can't climb out of this "unique environment". The Scythians throw the prisoner into a pile On the bullock carts full of dry wood and sprinkled with thin resin, once the fire started, the frightened cattle would pull the train through the whole city, which had a warning effect. The Romans crucified the prisoners and then The whole body was covered with asphalt and turpentine, and made into a big torch, which was carried to the public. In medieval England and Italy, the prisoner was tightly wrapped with firewood, tied like a palm, and then set on fire. As for the special fire torture The pillar is to tie people up high and pile firewood under their feet. This is how Joan of Arc was executed in France. The whole process of her being burned was full of obscene means of exhibition..." Suddenly found everyone's interest With a glance, the little doctor noticed that he had dropped his book bag again, so he ended concisely: "It is said that the punishment of fire has a purifying effect. Therefore, the punishment of fire is always connected with the elimination of heresy and evil..."

Rossi interrupted Rhett's book bag: "You think the fire in the video is not...professional?"

Reid nodded and gestured with his hands: "In the video, the victim was simply and roughly tied to a stake with a hemp rope, unable to stand upright, with no legs fixed, no combustion aids, just poured gasoline and then ignited it with a windproof lighter , the murderer never showed up during the burning process, and there was no ceremony... Combining the above, my conclusion is that although the unknown suspect claims to be a martyr, his methods do not conform to any sect."

"We have seen many murderers who pretend to be religious. Is this unknown suspect one of them?" Man said, the screams of the murdered girl still lingering in his mind.

*I feel that I need to remind everyone of a more important thing: "The killer himself and the video of this murder have caused a very bad influence on the Internet. The higher authorities attach great importance to this case, but what we should pay more attention to is—— "

She turned the screen back on and rewinded to one of the shots where the girl was burned to death.

In the camera, four girls panicked and huddled in the corner of the iron cage.

"If we fail to find them in the shortest possible time, maybe these four girls will become the next victims in the video."

Hotch put away the files on the desktop, and looked up at the serious BAU crowd: "Garcia, continue to investigate the video. *Contact the police where the video first started. Others are preparing to..."

Before the words were finished, Garcia raised her hand in embarrassment: "Hug, sorry sir... So far, we have not been able to find out where it was released from."

Hotch frowned and looked at her: "How long will it take?"

Garcia: "I will as soon as possible!"

"We have too few clues. The murderer has never appeared in the video so far. The lighting in the picture is dim, the appearance of the five girls cannot be accurately identified, and the room is empty without any characteristic items. This is very important for understanding the identity of the victims and investigation. Very unfavorable." Rossi analyzed.

He repositioned his gaze on the dark but still playing screen: "Right now, our only clue is this video."

================================================== =======================

An overwhelming fear surrounds the poor girls.

"Come on, will we be the next one?" After witnessing the live barbecue with her own eyes, Tracy vomited faintly. With her blonde hair and petite figure, she still had some room to move in the cage, but now this narrow cage The bed was already soiled by the filth she spit out, but she didn't care, she sat on it limply, and asked tremblingly.

"Are you an idiot? That pervert can still date us if he catches us? Just watch, it might be your turn to be burned to death next!"

The girl in black was a little excited, wearing punk makeup and wearing sharp rivet jewelry. She was panicked, and she broke out after hearing Trish's almost innocent question.

"Hey! Get out of here, pervert! If you have the guts, come out! Come out!" She kept yelling, trying to attract the person who kidnapped them.

"Woo... Please, don't shout, in case he really comes out..." The tall and plump girl next to Trish cried, and she also vomited on the floor just now.

"Shut up!" The punk girl interrupted their crying impatiently, and continued to insult the invisible murderer provocatively.

In the boundless darkness, four cages, four girls, and one video camera.

Countless netizens and BAU agents were watching them. Although the meeting was pitch black, voices still reached their ears freely.

Two girls were crying helplessly, one girl was swearing, and the other...hasn't said a word yet.
