The hall was once again in an uproar.

Although they had already experienced a group game before, it was clear that most people instinctively felt panicked by the sudden activation of a game invitation.

More importantly, the nature of this game was completely different from the last.

The goal of 'Blood Poker' was to complete the distribution of the first visa time, so from the actual game content, there was basically no life-threatening danger.

Between players, it was just a matter of earning more or less visa time.

But this game's goal was to 'complete the judgment', which meant the game carried a certain mortality rate.

Thinking about Wei Xinjian's fate in the 'Wheel of Redemption', many people instinctively felt terrified.

The three people who were forcibly involved were even more bewildered.

Lin Sizhi looked at the big screen, feeling slightly surprised.

Because the game selected by the Walkway this time wasn't his designed game 'Life and Death Line'.

"King's Judgment...

"Just from the name, it's hard to discern the specific content of the game.

"So, what's special about this game that it got picked by Walkway?"

While Lin Sizhi was lost in brief thought, Fu Chen's voice rose above the noise in the hall.

"Everyone, quiet down first!

"Although this game has certain risks, from what you saw in 'Blood Poker', the more of us from the same community in a game, the safer it tends to be, and the higher the chances of winning.

"Three players from our community were forcibly involved, so I hope everyone can actively sign up, because this will significantly improve survival rates in the game.

"I'll sign up first!"

Though Fu Chen had already raised his hand to expressed his willingness, no one responded.

Clearly, most people were still hesitating.

Everyone knew that what Fu Chen said was correct.

Players from the same community naturally had a better trust foundation than strangers, which gave them a certain advantage in multiplayer games.

Moreover, no player could escape the game; if not this round, then the next, especially for those with little visa time.

Yet even so, the thought of real potential death in a judgment game instinctively made people shrink back.

The five-minute countdown was short.

Fu Chen anxiously scanned the crowd, but there wasn't much he could do.

Fortunately, before the countdown ended, two more people raised their hands.

Cao Haichuan and Lin Sizhi.

Yang Yuting was still hesitating whether to raise her hand, because her visa time was also running low, and this might be an opportunity to earn more.

But the next second, the countdown hit zero.

[Voluntary Players: Cao Haichuan, Lin Sizhi]

Although Fu Chen, Cao Haichuan, and Lin Sizhi all raised their hands to sign up, Fu Chen's name did not appear on the big screen.

Because voluntary players would be randomly selected, and Fu Chen was obviously not chosen.

It was unclear whether his luck was good or bad.

The five chosen by the game disappeared from the hall in an instant.

...

"Beep—"

A sharp buzz sounded, and Lin Sizhi gradually regained his senses.

He found himself in completely unfamiliar surroundings, and he was the only one there.

Looking around.

The surroundings were sleek white walls, and the room contained only very simple tables and chairs.

However, the wall directly opposite was a huge transparent glass through which one could see the entire game scene.

On the walls to either side were many screens of various sizes, like a surveillance room, able to view many details of the game scene from different angles.

Lin Sizhi sat in the chair, looking at the desk.

There were many control buttons here, such as 'Confirm', 'Cancel', '√', '×', a numeric keypad, and avatar buttons representing Ding Wenqiang and the other four.

A moment later, a small screen in front of the desk began showing the game-related rules.

[As a voluntary participant, your role in this game is: Audience.]

[The Audience does not need to participate in the game personally and will not face life-and-death penalties.]

[In this game, there are a total of 10 Audiences, and they need to do only three things:]

[1. Reward]

[Donate a certain amount of visa time to the Inner Court Players, along with a text message. Each word requires a reward of 1,000 minutes of visa time.]

[Please note: The player rewarded is not obligated to follow your request, and even if not followed, the reward still stands and will not be refunded.]

[2. Vote]

[Every time a judgment occurs in the game, all Audiences must vote on the 'King's' behavior for justice.]

[The so-called justice largely depends on whether the judgment game designed by the King matches the criminal's crime in content and severity.]

[This vote does not provide any benefit to the Audience.]

[The voting process will automatically include a lie detector, and if your vote contradicts your true thoughts, 10,000 minutes of your visa time will be deducted.]

[Special Note: It is strictly forbidden for the audience to disclose their identity or any justice-related information to the players on the field. If discovered, they will be forcibly blocked, and immediate death penalties will be imposed on informants.]

[3. Betting]

[The audience can choose to bet on the 'King' or the 'Prisoner'. You can only bet on one side, with the default betting amount being 50,000 minutes of visa time.]

[A maximum of 5 audience members can bet on each side.]

[Condition for the King's side to win: At the end of the game, fewer than 3 prisoners survive.]

[Reward for the King's side winning: For each prisoner executed by the King, each betting audience member will receive an additional 30,000 minutes of visa time.]

[Condition for the Prisoner's side to win: At the end of the game, 3 or more prisoners survive.]

[Reward for the Prisoner's side winning: Each betting audience member will receive an additional 50,000 minutes of visa time.]

[At the end of the game, based on the victory conditions of the King's side and the Prisoner's side, the winners will also divide all the chips that the losers have betted and earned.]

[Finally, please remember: this is someone else's judgment, and you are merely the audience.]

[Good luck!]

Lin Sizhi carefully went through the rules, but obviously, without understanding the specific form of the game, it was difficult to further analyze how these rules should be applied.

Lin Sizhi was temporarily clueless and could only look towards the field through the large transparent glass in front of him.

At this moment, he was in an area somewhat similar to a second-floor grandstand, and there were a total of 10 grandstands like this, each with a large number written on it.

"That means there are 10 audience members in this game, and many of them come from different communities.

"Officer Cao should be among them, although it is unclear which number he is."

Lin Sizhi wanted to observe the other audience members, but these glasses were one-way mirrors, allowing those inside to see outside, but not the reverse.

Just then, the loudspeaker broadcast the next announcement.

[Audience member No. 1 bets on the 'King'.]

Clearly, some audience members made decisions unexpectedly quickly.

Because so far, the game rules have not been fully introduced, and the audience members only knew the audience-side rules; they were still clueless about how the real players would proceed with the game.

For instance, how to distinguish the 'King' from the 'Prisoners', and what specific privileges the 'King' has, are still unknown.

The official rules did not restrict the time for betting, suggesting that it could be done anytime during the game, so there was no need to rush.

Since you can only bet on one side, either the King or the Prisoners, it would certainly be better to observe a little before making a decision.

Of course, Lin Sizhi could also vaguely guess why audience member No. 1 was so eager.

Because the rules state that each side can have a maximum of 5 audience bets.

Meaning that if you want to bet on the King, but your bet is too slow, becoming the sixth person to bet, you would automatically be placed on the prisoners' side.

Audience member No. 1 firmly stood on the side of the King from the start.

Perhaps they believe the King has a greater inherent advantage, or maybe they naturally favor the King's side in this kill-to-earn style of game.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Sizhi still decided not to place a bet for the time being, instead turning his sight towards the game field.

He was audience member No. 5, which put him in a prime viewing position.

Looking slightly downward, he could clearly see the main area of the game field.

The field was somewhat "H"-shaped, with a very spacious main section right below the audience grandstands, divided into several compartments, each containing different mechanisms.

The vertical line of the "H" shape was a long corridor extending into the distance.

Five figures could be seen at the end of the corridor.

And from the various surveillance cameras, the corresponding images could be found:

Wang Yongxin, Cai Zhiyuan, Ding Wenqiang, Zhang Peng, and Gao Zhankui were staring at the screen before them, listening to the corresponding game rules being introduced.

Through the loudspeaker, the sounds from the game field were also clearly transmitted into the room where Lin Sizhi was.

[Greetings, players.]

[Now, you will undergo a trial, participating in a game called 'King's Judgment'.]

[In this game, your identities are all 'Sinners'.]

[But soon, one of you will become the 'King', while the others will become 'Prisoners'.]

[The game will last for 2 hours, and once the game officially starts, the visa wristbands on your hands will inject a slow-acting toxin into your bodies, resulting in death after 2 hours.]

[You must reach the game goal within 2 hours to have any chance of survival.]

[Before entering the official game field, you will participate in a simple preliminary mini-game to decide your roles in the official game: 'King' or 'Prisoner'.]

[As you can see, in front of you is a corridor with a total length of 45 meters, divided into three stages: 20 meters, 15 meters, and 10 meters.]

[You are to carry the mechanism in front of you equal to your own body weight through the corridor within the limited time.]

[Each stage has its own time limit and rest time, please pay close attention to the timer on your path.]

[If you exceed the time limit, the spikes on the mechanism will pierce your body. If you exceed double the time limit, you will face immediate death penalties.]

[The first sinner to cross the corridor will become the 'King', while the other sinners will become 'Prisoners'.]

[The identity of the 'King' is crucial, so please give it your all.]

[Once in the official field, more rules will be disclosed.]

[This is a test of will and wisdom; pay attention to every clue in the game, and don't forget to listen to your inner voice.]

[Now, the game begins, and good luck to you!]
