From the perspective of real-world law, He Xiaojun could be considered a perfect victim, with hardly any place for criticism from either a legal or moral standpoint.

But in the eyes of the Walkway, everyone's original sin could become a reason for judgment.

The Imitator wanting to kill someone like He Xiaojun is extremely simple.

Because the weaknesses are too obvious, and too easily targeted.

One could even say that the fact He Xiaojun has managed to survive in the brutal New World up until now is largely due to luck.

Take this trial game invitation, for example.

If Lin Sizhi hadn't chosen He Xiaojun's profile, and some other Imitator was in a bad mood, wanting to earn some more visa time, they could easily design a trial game to gather some visa time, and then kill him for profit.

Thus, Lin Sizhi ultimately decided to design a trial game for He Xiaojun.

Taking the game's proposal, Lin Sizhi noted some relatively striking information on the list of available tools.

[2. Daggers: unlimited.]

[4. Judgment stands with different penalty options: 6 units.]

[5. Any arrangement possible Judgement Rooms: 6 rooms.]

Compared to the large variety of other tools, the clear cold weapon 'dagger' was quite prominently placed in the list of tools.

This also represented the Walkway's stance: encouraging Imitators to design around the cold weapon of daggers in the Walkway, which would certainly lead all the selected trial games to carry a strong element of bloodshed.

Additionally, the judgment stand and room somewhat defined the detailed process of the game.

After careful consideration, Lin Sizhi wrote down the name of this game on the proposal.

『Coward's Judgment』.

For some, it might be a relatively simple game, but for He Xiaojun, he would either die in this game or abandon his cowardly self and learn how to survive in the New World.

...

...

Three days later, in the morning.

In the hall of Community 14, new information appeared on the big screen.

[Good morning, players!]

[The 『Walkway』 will open in 5 minutes.]

[The name of this game is 『Coward's Judgment』, the game's objective is 『Judging the Sinners』.]

[The mandatory participant for this community is: He Xiaojun.]

[There are no open slots for voluntary participation in this game.]

[Please be prepared.]

He Xiaojun, who was having breakfast in the corner of the hall, nearly had a cardiac arrest; he was frozen in place, as if time had stopped.

...

In the hall of Community 17, the game opening broadcast appeared simultaneously on the big screen.

[Good morning, players!]

[The 『Walkway』 will open in 5 minutes.]

[The name of this game is 『Fertility Judgment』, the game's objective is 『Judging the Sinners』.]

[The mandatory participant for this community is: Jiang He.]

[The mandatorily participating player may designate any other player from this community as an assistant to enter the game and complete the judgment together.]

[Additionally, this game allows five more players to freely sign up as 『Audience』, who would not face any risk within the rules, but also gain no rewards from the game.]

[Please be prepared.]

Everyone's expressions were somewhat grave.

"Indeed, a trial game!"

Up to now, people had more or less figured out the pattern of the Walkway.

So far, there are three main types of games appearing in the Walkway, namely allocation, selection, and trial games.

Allocation games are like 『Blood Poker』 and 『Wealthy Dynasty』, primarily used to earn visa time, potentially involving community confrontation, usually with no risk of death.

Selection games are like 『Matchmaking Game』, setting a certain condition and specifically selecting a certain group, with a fixed death indicator.

Trial games do not need further elaboration.

Though within the same type, games could be further subdivided, the Walkway's arrangement typically alternates between 『Trial Games』 and 『Other Games』.

Thus, after having earned plenty of visa time in 『Wealthy Dynasty』, a new trial game was sure to arrive, for which most people were mentally prepared.

However, seeing the specific game announcement showed a clear difference from previous trial games.

This game is named 『Fertility Judgment』, and the player selection mode seems to have some similarities with the 『King's Judgment』.

Both divided into 『Inner Court Players』 and 『Audience』.

However, this time's game audience differed from that of the King's Game, as the broadcast explicitly stated, there would be no risk, but also no rewards.

In the King's Game, the audience could potentially earn visa time from the game.

Judging from the current situation, the audience in this game would be purely altruistic, offering no benefits to themselves, but presumably able to assist the players inside in some areas. Surely they wouldn't enter just to find a good spot to gawk?

The only one who could truly assist the judged player is one person.

The judged player can designate any player from the community as an assistant to enter the game and complete the judgment together.

This also means that the designated person would likewise face a certain amount of danger.

Jiang He was the only one selected to mandatorily participate; her initial reaction was panic, but soon, she seemed to gather her courage.

She tugged at Yang Yuting: "Yuting! See, I told you we'd get our chance to shine eventually."

Yang Yuting was inexplicably tugged, sensing something ominous, but before she could speak, Li Renshu spoke first.

"Time is urgent, only five minutes, the immediate priority is to determine the 'assistant' and 'audience' candidates.

"Judging from the game's name, it's likely related to 'reproduction'.

"Aunt Zhou, have you raised children? Do you have a lot of knowledge regarding childbirth?"

Zhou Guifen nodded: "I should be fine."

Li Renshu looked at Jiang He: "I think you can consider choosing Aunt Zhou as the assistant, to avoid possible reproduction-related knowledge blind spots in the game.

"Of course, you can also consider seeking help from Lawyer Lin, Officer Cao, or Brother Wang."

However, Jiang He shook her head: "No, I already have the best candidate for an assistant.

"Yuting, will you join me in this game?"

Yang Yuting panicked instantly: "What are you talking about, I know nothing about childbirth!"

Jiang He comforted her: "Don't worry, did you forget what my profession is? As an editor, I have researched topics related to childbirth, and I believe we can make significant progress on these topics.

"Moreover, I have been preparing during this time, studying many previous trial games, especially the mechanism of the 'King's Judgment'.

"We can definitely clear this game smoothly and earn a lot of visa time!"

[Assistant selected: Yang Yuting.]

5 minutes was a very short time, leaving little room for further discussion among the group.

Li Renshu hurriedly said: "Audience volunteer to sign up, quickly, five people are enough."

Fu Chen, Cao Haichuan, Zhou Guifen, Li Renshu, and Lin Sizhi raised their hands in succession, completing the enrollment.

Jiang He comforted: "Don't worry! You won't need to assist us much, Yuting and I will break the game perfectly! I hope you can see our performance well in the audience seats."

Yang Yuting felt like the sky was falling, she wanted to say more, but the 5-minute countdown had already ended.

The seven players instantly disappeared from the hall.
