God's Imitator-Chapter 184: Creating Badges
Jiang He couldn’t help but clench her teeth, "Is the God’s Imitator who designed this game a psychopath! How can there be such a hidden mechanism!"
Obviously, she couldn’t bring herself to personally kill this criminal with a dagger but now, the game was stuck here.
Because judgment had already been made and the gavel struck, they couldn’t change the verdict to not guilty or disciplinary action.
But if they didn’t kill this criminal, they couldn’t get the 10,000 childbirth fund points, and the door to the next judgment room wouldn’t open either.
The God’s Imitator who designed this game was forcing the judgment panel players to personally kill the criminals with a dagger.
Li Jiang looked at Bai Yanyan, who had been shrinking in the back, "Why don’t you do it? You’ve killed someone, you have experience."
Bai Yanyan waved her hands repeatedly.
Jiang He frowned, "Aren’t you going too far?"
Li Jiang said indifferently, "Which of my words isn’t the plain truth?
"Fine, if none of you dare, then I’ll do it."
After speaking, he pulled out the dagger from the judgment platform and walked toward the male criminal locked to the wall.
The criminals seen in the judgment rooms so far were all in a conscious state, just with their mouths completely blocked, unable to make any sound.
He struggled in terror, shaking his head desperately.
Li Jiang stood before him, hesitating for about one or two minutes, but finally made up his mind. He slowly thrust the dagger into his heart, then twisted it sharply.
The criminal jerked violently, then dropped his head.
Li Jiang didn’t pull out the dagger to avoid spraying blood all over himself, and turned back.
This scene made everyone else instinctively turn their heads away, not daring to look.
[Remaining childbirth fund: 129,000]
The game rules stated:
[Any violent behavior or other violations against the four judgment panel members are strictly prohibited, otherwise instant death penalty will be suffered.]
Now everyone understood why it wasn’t ’restricting all violent behavior’ but only restricting ’violent behavior against the four judgment panel members.’
Because this game supported and even encouraged players to commit violent acts against criminals.
Li Jiang looked at everyone, saying somewhat angrily, "Why are you looking at me like that?
"Please, I didn’t make the death penalty judgment. I’m just cleaning up the mess for this verdict. Are you going to morally criticize me?
"If anything, making a death penalty judgment without any resolve to kill is what’s absurd."
Jiang He’s expression was somewhat unpleasant, but she didn’t say anything.
This judgment room also had childbirth torture devices. However, unlike the initial room, there were 4 devices here.
Two of mechanism 1 and two of mechanism 2.
"Should we use them?"
"Let’s use them."
Although they would return to the initial room later, there was no doubt that placing these torture devices in the judgment rooms must have a reason.
Now that they had childbirth fund, they might as well try.
Li Jiang very consciously lay down on one of the mechanism 2 devices. After all, the gender and mechanism binding had already been completed.
"Help me press the start button, if you would."
As he spoke, he tore a strip of cloth from his shirt and bit it in his mouth.
Yang Yuting asked, "Should we give more childbirth fund to reduce the difficulty?"
Li Jiang temporarily removed the cloth strip he was biting and shook his head, "Of course not. The childbirth fund is too tight. How much we can get later is still unknown. We can’t waste it."
Jiang He stepped forward and pressed the ’start’ button on the mechanism, automatically deducting 10,000 childbirth fund points. Mechanism 2 began operating in standard mode.
The mechanism locked Li Jiang firmly in place. A large number of electrode patches were applied to his body and simultaneously released high-voltage current.
"Ugh... ahhhhhhh—"
Although Li Jiang had bitten a cloth strip in advance, this was obviously futile. He soon uncontrollably shouted out.
Jiang He also positioned herself under mechanism 1, "Yuting, help me press the button."
Yang Yuting pressed the button somewhat anxiously, "Be careful, don’t force yourself."
With a "click," the mechanism unlocked.
Jiang He felt heavy pressure on her shoulders, like a mountain, making her body instinctively want to sink down.
Fortunately, she was prepared. She gripped the handrails on both sides tightly, all her body’s muscles tensed, resisting the weight’s gravity.
Although her face was somewhat contorted, she still tried to force out a smile and said to Yang Yuting, "It’s okay... no problem, I can handle it..."
However, just then, she suddenly felt a sharp stinging pain in a certain spot on her shoulder.
"Ah!!"
Jiang He instinctively cried out, startling Yang Yuting.
"How is it? Where are you injured?"
Jiang He gritted her teeth and couldn’t speak. Fortunately, the time for both mechanisms wasn’t long, and she finally endured it.
The weight on her shoulder was removed. Jiang He nearly fell to the ground, but Yang Yuting quickly supported her.
After checking, they found a bloody hole pierced in her left shoulder.
Jiang He gritted her teeth, "Wasn’t it only a 5% probability?... I understand now. The 5% probability refers to 5% of the entire body, so it’s higher than imagined..."
She looked at Li Jiang. Mechanism 2 had also finished being used but Li Jiang immediately went onto another mechanism 2 device and had Chen Yumei press the button for him.
Screams came again, but obviously, as long as mechanism 2 didn’t unluckily trigger the death penalty, it could indeed be used consecutively.
But mechanism 1 couldn’t. Jiang He’s stamina was now exhausted. She couldn’t use it again in the short term and would likely not be able to persist.
She first looked at Bai Yanyan.
Bai Yanyan definitely couldn’t do it. She had been injured earlier due to the ’disciplinary action’ judgment. Although the wounds weren’t deep and had initially stopped bleeding, she definitely couldn’t bear mechanism 1’s weight.
Even without triggering injury, exerting force to resist these weights would inevitably cause the wounds to rupture again, and she might not be able to persist.
As for Yang Yuting and Chen Yumei, although neither was injured, they were indeed too thin and lacked strength.
Jiang He finally said, "It’s okay. Wasting one use of mechanism 1 is fine. When we return to the initial venue at the end, both mechanisms can be used unlimited times.
"I can continue using it after resting a bit.
"You two should also prepare yourselves mentally as soon as possible.
"Right now, the most important thing is to hurry. The more time we save up front, the more rest time we’ll have when using the mechanisms later."
Yang Yuting nodded. She couldn’t say anything.
She looked at mechanism 1, somewhat having the idea of trying it herself, but based on an objective assessment of her own stamina, she ultimately didn’t dare attempt it.
She just lowered her voice and said to Jiang He, "Let’s try to save one more female criminal with better stamina later."
Jiang He nodded.
Li Jiang had also finished using the second mechanism 2 device.
His entire body was already soaked with sweat. Perhaps because of experiencing severe pain for a long time, he couldn’t immediately get down and walk, so he lay there resting for a while.
Afterward, he got down limping.
Fortunately, everyone’s efforts paid off. Whether it was good luck or the probability was relatively high to begin with, they used the mechanisms 3 times total and all successfully created corresponding badges.
One ’male badge’ and one ’female badge’ would automatically merge.
Everyone looked at the data notice board:
[Remaining childbirth fund: 99,000]
[Childbirth badges: 1]
[Male badges: 0]
[Female badges: 1]
Everyone didn’t say much more. They just silently headed to the next judgment room.
