Wang Yongxin was stunned, he suddenly felt that the Ding Wenqiang in front of him was somewhat unfamiliar.

Cell 3 was still open.

Even if he didn't smash his own fingers, starting a game in Cell 3 would only require deducting 18,000 minutes of visa time.

Even if doubled, it's only 36,000.

The rewards Ding Wenqiang received from the audience were enough to cover this number.

Even if he didn't want to accept a second judgment, using the 18,000 minutes of visa time to bear one instance of judgment wasn't too much, right?

Ding Wenqiang showed an angry expression and glared at Wang Yongxin: "Why do you look at me with that expression?

"Isn't this what you people have always been doing?

"As a rich person, a little bit slipping through your fingers can feed so many poor people?

"A bottle of red wine you open might be a deliveryman's living expenses for several years.

"If you pay 100 yuan more for social security for each deliveryman, many injured in car accidents might receive treatment!

"Did you rich people ever give such a meager favor?

"Why is it that when it's my turn, I have to share the burden for you?

"I am the King, the identity of a King is something I won through my own ability, I walked every step of the way!

"Why should I have to enter the cell and accept the same judgment as you?

"Whether it's ten thousand minutes of visa time or a hundred minutes, I earned it myself, so what if it was easy to earn, why should I give it away to save others?

"If you were the King, would you be so noble and selfless as to take on the judgment games for other prisoners?

"I don't believe it, if you were that kind of person, you wouldn't have been pulled into this game by the Walkway!"

Wang Yongxin opened his mouth, but was at a loss for words.

He subconsciously wanted to say "I would", but Ding Wenqiang's last words made him swallow it back down.

Indeed, it seemed he had no standing to demand any sacrifice from Ding Wenqiang.

Not even a mere 18,000 minutes of visa time.

[Audience No. 1 rewarded Ding Wenqiang with 3,000 minutes of visa time, with the message: Well said!]

[Audience No. 7 rewarded Ding Wenqiang with 2,000 minutes of visa time, with the message: Agree.]

Ding Wenqiang seemed to have made some kind of decision, and at this moment, he was the only Free Person left on the scene, while the other four prisoners were locked in their respective cells.

Ding Wenqiang went to Cell 5 where Zhang Peng was, and expressionlessly restarted the judgment game.

...

Lin Sizhi leaned back in his chair and sighed silently.

To get to this point, he had done his best.

The game's designer was relatively kind, leaving a way for everyone to survive in the game, and this way wasn't particularly difficult to achieve.

Of course, it might not be the designer's kindness, but some sort of survivor's bias: games with no way out couldn't pass the Walkway's review, much less be chosen.

But in any case, there was a way out, and Lin Sizhi had clearly pointed it out.

The lives of these four people ultimately rested in Ding Wenqiang's hands.

As an audience member, Lin Sizhi couldn't personally participate, and this was as far as he could go.

Audience No. 1 was indeed a troublesome opponent.

If Lin Sizhi did nothing, then Audience No. 1 would likely have successfully induced Ding Wenqiang to conduct a third judgment game on Gao Zhankui and kill him.

And after killing Gao Zhankui, Ding Wenqiang would fall into an even deeper downward spiral.

Then, Audience No. 1 could easily manipulate Ding Wenqiang to kill Zhang Peng by revealing Zhang Peng's secret and compounding the guilt of killing Gao Zhankui.

Thus gradually pushing the King to kill more prisoners for the maximum benefit of the King's audience side.

Of course, Lin Sizhi didn't know if Audience No. 1 had seen the hidden message in Zhang Peng's videotape, but from Audience No. 1's previous behavior, he was a smart and dangerous opponent, so the risk couldn't be taken.

Once it came to this point, the prisoners' side was bound to lose.

Zhang Peng's hidden message was a pawn, usable by both the King's side and the prisoners' side, just deployed at different times.

Lin Sizhi could only preemptively bring out Zhang Peng to disrupt Audience No. 1's pre-determined rhythm and also buy time to persuade Ding Wenqiang to enter the cell.

If that happened, all five could survive.

But unfortunately, Lin Sizhi was not a god and couldn't control Ding Wenqiang's thoughts.

[Please vote on the King's behavior for justice.]

[Voting results: ×√×√××√√××]

[Final justice score: -20]

[Thank you for your evaluation!]

The justice evaluation from the audience further decreased.

Evidently, for those who genuinely felt Zhang Peng was a scumbag, initiating a second judgment was fair.

But some believed, considering the danger level of this game was much higher than the previous ones, starting a second judgment on Zhang Peng now was unfair, especially since Cai Zhiyuan and Wang Yongxin's game penalties were lighter, yet they only underwent one judgment game.

Moreover, Ding Wenqiang himself hasn't entered a cell.

...

In Cell 5, Zhang Peng's wails occasionally echoed.

Ding Wenqiang, with a darkened face, chose not to look at him anymore.

This yellow-haired guy always made a fuss over nothing, just a few nails, yet screamed louder than if being slaughtered.

After a while, it finally ceased.

Ding Wenqiang turned to look, only to be surprised that the judgment game wasn't over.

The nail gun was still "kachak, kachak," shooting nails into either the target or Zhang Peng's body.

Only, a nail had embedded itself squarely in Zhang Peng's forehead, and the young man with the yellow hair was silent.

Ding Wenqiang's mind suddenly went blank.

Zhang Peng was dead.

He hadn't expected Zhang Peng to die so easily, because all the previous judgment games could at least be played safely twice.

Gao Zhankui had rolled out of the Iron Maiden the second time, nearly turned into a bloody person, and was still alive till now.

Clearly, the game in Cell 5 was different from the others, relying heavily on luck.

Theoretically, these games only became life-threatening on the third instance.

But if a nail just happened to hit the forehead, then all probabilities and counts became meaningless.

[Audience No. 1 rewarded Ding Wenqiang with 4,000 minutes of visa time, with the message: Deserved death.]

[Audience No. 7 rewarded Ding Wenqiang with 3,000 minutes of visa time, with the message: You did nothing wrong.]

[Audience No. 2 rewarded Ding Wenqiang with 5,000 minutes of visa time, with the message: He was just unlucky.]

Ding Wenqiang looked at the record on the screen.

[Completed judgments: 6/10]

He felt a strange sensation, Zhang Peng's death didn't seem to have moved him much, instead brought more calm.

"Four more times."

Feeling numb, Ding Wenqiang went to Cell 4 and looked at Gao Zhankui, who was still lying on the ground, covered in blood.

After a moment, he moved to the cells of No. 1 and No. 2.

There was now an obvious problem: there were 4 judgments left, Gao Zhankui going through another game was very likely to die, and that would still leave 3 judgment games to complete.

Meaning that, regardless of what happens, both Cai Zhiyuan and Wang Yongxin need to go through at least one more game.

"I'm sorry."

Ding Wenqiang subsequently initiated the judgment games for Cells 1 and 2.

He finally decided to leave the hardest problem for the end: first complete Cai Zhiyuan and Wang Yongxin's second judgments, then decide with between three people on the final two judgments.

Neither Cai Zhiyuan nor Wang Yongxin said anything, just preparing themselves once more.
