Upon seeing the game content for Prison Cell 5 and 6, Zhang Peng felt a chill run through his limbs.

These six prison cells are truly getting more dangerous the further along you go.

The target in Cell 5 can be roughly considered a large humanoid figure; from a preliminary look, it has about four times the frontal area of an average human.

In other words, if the nail gun randomly shoots within this range, there's about a quarter chance it will hit a person.

Moreover, the lethality of the nail gun is not the same as the Iron Maiden in Cell 4.

The spikes of the Iron Maiden avoid critical areas such as the head and vital organs, and the spikes themselves aren't very thick.

Although Gao Zhankui was covered in blood from the spikes, it was evident that he hadn't sustained any life-threatening injuries.

But the nail gun is different; if it hits critical areas like the heart, arteries, or eyes, it can definitely be fatal.

As for Cell 6, it's purely a matter of fate.

Since it involves random selection, it might draw an easy trap or a very dangerous one.

If I had to choose between the two, Cell 6 is certainly better, but the good news is, Zhang Peng has a safer option.

That's the previously unused Cell 3.

Thinking of this, he nervously rubbed his hands and cautiously said, "Uncle Ding, there's no way around it, let me enter Cell 3."

"Uncle Ding, looking at me, do I look like I can rack up so much visa time? Don't worry, if anyone truly encounters danger, I will certainly break a finger to save them."

Ding Wenqiang looked Zhang Peng up and down: "Really?"

Zhang Peng nodded eagerly: "Of course Uncle Ding, definitely true!"

"Besides, there's no other choice, we have to enter one of these three cells eventually."

"I'm not a good person, but I'm not guilty enough to deserve death, right..."

Ding Wenqiang hesitated for a moment and slowly nodded: "True."

Just as he was about to send Zhang Peng into Cell 3, the system's prompt sounded.

[Audience 1 gave Ding Wenqiang 8000 minutes of visa time, the accompanying message: Cell 4, one time for ten thousand.]

Ding Wenqiang froze for a moment, then fell into hesitation.

Zhang Peng's eyes lit up.

Right, I can do that too!

I wonder which kind-hearted person Audience 1 is?

He cast a grateful glance towards Audience 1, but unfortunately couldn't see who it was due to the one-way mirror.

The game only requires ten judgments to be completed, but doesn't specify that they need to be evenly distributed among prisoners.

Theoretically, if a prisoner is resilient enough, one person enduring ten judgments can also be considered a pass.

Which prisoner the judgment falls upon is up to King Ding Wenqiang.

Seeing Ding Wenqiang still hesitating, Zhang Peng quietly urged, "Uncle Ding, what's there to hesitate about? It's ten thousand each time!"

Ding Wenqiang's expression was somewhat resistant: "But, won't this be a bit unfair?"

Zhang Peng immediately shook his head: "Fair? Uncle Ding, is there any game here in the Walkway that's absolutely fair? Huh? Is there?"

"People in our Community earn tens of thousands in Blood Poker in one round, while I've only earned over three thousand, is that fair?"

"In the real world, some are born inheriting billions and live a lifetime of indulgence, while others can be killed by falling objects while walking on the street.

"Is that fair?

"Moreover, what's the name of this game? King's Judgment, and you are the King.

"Why should a prisoner negotiate fairness with the King?

"The game rules suggest you have supreme power within this game, and since this status was earned by your skill, why shouldn't you use it?"

Seeing Ding Wenqiang still hesitating, Zhang Peng urged further: "Uncle Ding, think about it, why have people like us fallen to the bottom tier?

"Isn't it because of those meaningless moral feelings!

"Look at the wealthy, do they feel guilty over small matters like this?"

At this moment, the broadcast sounded again.

[Audience 7 rewarded Ding Wenqiang with 6000 minutes of visa time, with the message: Cell 4, ten thousand.]

Ding Wenqiang finally made up his mind: "You're right, I am the King, I can judge whomever I want!

"To have such scum judged again is entirely reasonable."

With this thought, he returned to the entrance of Cell 4 and pressed the game panel.

Gao Zhankui opened his eyes wide, disbelief etched on his face, but he quickly picked up the cloth strips from the ground, wrapping himself tightly as before.

Ding Wenqiang turned his face away, no longer watching.

The reason for his decision, aside from Zhang Peng's persuasion and rewards from the two audiences, was also because he was closer to some prisoners than others.

Cai Zhiyuan and Wang Yongxin, no matter what, are players from Community 17, whom you will see often.

After this game ends, you're likely to work together in the community.

If these two are severely harmed, you might end up isolated in the community.

But Gao Zhankui is different; here, no one cares about him.

Even if Gao Zhankui dies in the game, Cai Zhiyuan and Wang Yongxin won't say anything, they'll be grateful. After all, they would directly benefit.

...

[Please cast your Justice Vote on the King's actions.]

The broadcast sounded again, and Lin Sizhi silently pressed '×'.

The voting results are coming out quicker, perhaps because most audiences realize voting doesn't require much thought, they can select based on intuition due to the Lie Detection Mechanism.

Thinking too much doesn't help, and voting incorrectly might deduct visa time, which isn't worth it.

[Voting results: ××××××√×××]

[Final Justice Vote Rating: -80]

[Thank you for your evaluation!]

Lin Sizhi looks at the evaluation result; although he's not sure who these audiences are, comparing multiple voting results reveals some clues.

For instance, Audience 1, though the instigator urging Ding Wenqiang, also voted it unfair.

This shows Audience 1's actions were purely for profit.

He's already invested in the King's side, so by having Ding Wenqiang kill the prisoners, he can gain extra benefits.

Audience 3 is relatively kind, tending to vote '×' when seeing criminals suffer severe penalties.

As for Audience 7, it's interesting; he voted '√' without triggering the game's Lie Detection Punishment, indicating he truly believes Ding Wenqiang is correct, and it's reasonable to judge someone like Gao Zhankui twice.

It's a bit like those "netizens giving a verdict, death row at the start" type of people.

...

The Iron Maiden mechanism opened again, and Gao Zhankui's body plunged out.

[60,000 minutes of visa time have been credited to the player.]

This time, he lay on the ground for a long time before managing to catch his breath again.

Attempting to remove the cloth from his head, his bloody hand quickly falls again.

According to the rules, each judgment game within the cell becomes increasingly dangerous with more occurrences.

The first settlement was 30,000 minutes, the second 60,000.

This implies that the number of spikes doubled from 30 to 60.

Looking at the current situation, Gao Zhankui's blood loss has reached a dangerous level.

If another judgment occurs, doubling the number of spikes, Gao Zhankui will likely die inside.

[Audience 7 rewarded Ding Wenqiang 4000 minutes of visa time, message: You're doing right.]

[Audience 1 rewarded Ding Wenqiang 2000 minutes of visa time, message: Continue.]

[Audience 3 rewarded Ding Wenqiang 1000 minutes of visa time, message: Stop.]

Flooding information made Ding Wenqiang's already chaotic mind even more so.

Fortunately, this info was not only broadcasted but shown on the big screen in corresponding text for cross-checking.

The additional rewards from Audience 1 and 7 were not just conveying information but fulfilling previous commitments.

The visa time given previously and this time combined totals ten thousand minutes.

Moreover, the audience supporting the prisoners has mostly come to recognize:

The King's audience has stronger desires to reward.

It's simple: they can gain more from these actions.
