God's imitator

Chapter 185 Manufacturing Badges

Jiang He gritted her teeth: "Was the copycat who designed this game a psychopath?! How could there be such a hidden mechanism?!"

Clearly, she couldn't bring herself to kill the criminal with a dagger.

But now, the game is stuck here.

Because a verdict has already been reached and the gavel has been struck, it cannot be overturned to an acquittal or a punishment.

But if the criminal isn't killed, the $1 birth fund won't be available, and the door to the next courtroom won't open.

The game's creators designed the copycat to force players on the jury to personally kill criminals with a dagger.

Li Jiang glanced at Bai Yanyan, who was still huddled in the back: "Why don't you do it? You've killed people before, you have experience."

Bai Yanyan waved her hands repeatedly.

Jiang He frowned: "Aren't you going too far?"

Li Jiang said nonchalantly, "Which of my words wasn't the truth?"

"Alright, if none of you dare, then I'll do it."

After saying that, he pulled out the dagger from the judge's table and walked toward the male criminal locked to the wall.

The criminals seen in the trial room so far are all conscious, but their mouths are completely gagged so they can't make a sound.

He struggled in terror, shaking his head desperately.

Li Jiang stood in front of him, hesitated for about a minute or two, and finally made up his mind to slowly stab the dagger into his heart, then twisted it sharply.

The criminal struggled suddenly for a moment, then lowered his head.

Li Jiang didn't draw his dagger, lest he splatter blood all over himself, and turned back.

Such a scene caused everyone else to instinctively turn their heads away, unable to bear watching any longer.

[Remaining Fertility Fund: 129000]

The game rules state:

[Any act of violence or other misconduct against the four jury members is strictly prohibited and will be punishable by immediate death.]

Now everyone understands why it wasn't "restricting all acts of violence" but only "restricting acts of violence against the four jury members."

Because this game supports and even encourages players to commit violent acts against criminals.

Li Jiang looked at everyone and said angrily, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"Please, I didn't issue the death sentence. I'm just cleaning up the mess left by this sentence. Are you going to morally criticize me?"

"If I had to put it bluntly, it would be outrageous to sentence someone to death when they have absolutely no intention of killing him."

Jiang He's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but she didn't say anything.

This trial room also contains instruments of torture for childbirth, but unlike the initial room, there are four of them here.

Two units each for Agency 1 and Agency 2.

"Want to use it?"

"Use it."

Although you will eventually return to the initial room, there is no doubt that there is a reason for setting up these instruments of torture in the trial room.

Now that there is a maternity fund, why not give it a try?

Li Jiang very consciously lay down on one of the mechanisms, since the binding between gender and mechanism had already been completed.

"Please press the start button for me, thank you."

As he spoke, he tore a strip of cloth from his shirt and put it in his mouth.

Yang Yuting asked, "Should we provide more maternity funds to make things easier?"

Li Jiang temporarily removed the strip of cloth he was biting and shook his head: "Of course not. The maternity fund is too tight, and it's still unknown how much we'll get later. We can't waste it."

Jiang He stepped forward, pressed the 'Start' button on the device, and automatically deducted 1 points from the fertility fund. The device 2 then began operating in standard mode.

The authorities locked Li Jiang up tightly, attached numerous electrode patches to his body, and simultaneously released high-voltage current.

"Uh... Ahhhhhh—"

Although Li Jiang had bitten a strip of cloth beforehand, it was clearly of no use, and he soon lost control and shouted out loud.

Jiang He also came down to stand below the first mechanism: "Yuting, help me press the button." Yang Yuting pressed the button somewhat nervously: "Be careful, don't push yourself."

With a "click," the mechanism unlocked.

Jiang He felt a heavy pressure on her shoulders, like a mountain, making her body instinctively want to fall.

Fortunately, she was prepared, gripping the handrails tightly with both hands, her whole body tense, resisting the weight of the object.

Although her face was somewhat contorted, she still managed a smile and said to Yang Yuting, "It's alright...it's okay, I can handle it..."

However, at that moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in a certain part of her shoulder.

"what!!"

Jiang He instinctively shouted out, startling Yang Yuting.

"How are you? Where are you hurt?"

Jiang He gritted her teeth and couldn't speak. Fortunately, the time spent in these two mechanisms wasn't too long, and she finally got through it.

With the heavy load removed from her shoulders, Jiang He almost fell to the ground, but Yang Yuting quickly helped her up.

Upon inspection, a bloody hole was found in the left shoulder.

Jiang He gritted her teeth: "Wasn't it only a 5% probability?... I understand, the 5% probability refers to 5% of the whole body, so it's higher than I imagined..."

She glanced at Li Jiang; the second mechanism had also been used up.

But Li Jiang then went up to another machine, number 2, and asked Chen Yumei to press the button for him.

Another scream rang out, but it was clear that mechanism 2 could indeed be used continuously unless one was unlucky enough to trigger the death penalty.

But mechanism 1 won't work. Jiang He's strength is already exhausted, and she can't use it again for a while. She might not be able to hold on.

She first looked at Bai Yanyan.

Bai Yanyan is definitely out of the question. She was injured by the "punishment" judgment before. Although the wounds were not deep and the bleeding has been initially stopped, she is definitely not able to bear the weight of Mechanism 1.

Even without triggering an injury, exerting force when resisting these heavy objects will inevitably cause the wound to reopen, making it very likely that one will not be able to hold on.

As for Yang Yuting and Chen Yumei, although they were not injured, they were indeed too thin and lacked strength.

Jiang He concluded by saying, "It's alright. It's okay to waste one use of Mechanism 1. When we return to the initial location, both mechanisms can be used an unlimited number of times."

"I can continue using it after a short rest."

"You two should also prepare yourselves mentally as soon as possible."

"The most important thing now is to make the most of the time. The more time we save up, the more rest time we'll have when using the mechanisms later."

Yang Yuting nodded, unable to say anything.

She glanced at mechanism 1 and had some thoughts of giving it a try, but based on her objective assessment of her physical strength, she ultimately didn't dare to try.

He lowered his voice and said to Jiang He, "Let's try to rescue another female criminal with better physical strength later."

Jiang He nodded.

Li Jiang also used up the second machine.

His whole body was soaked in sweat. Perhaps because he had been in excruciating pain for a long time, he was unable to get out of bed and walk immediately. He lay down and rested for a while.

After that, he got out of bed with a limp.

Fortunately, everyone's efforts paid off. Whether it was good luck or the probability was just high, the mechanism was used three times in total, and the corresponding badges were successfully created each time.

One 'Male Badge' and one 'Female Badge' will be automatically combined.

Everyone looked at the data display board:
[Remaining Fertility Fund: 99000]

[Fertility Badge: 1]

[Male Badges: 0]

[Women's Badge: 1]

No one said anything more, and they silently proceeded to the next trial room.
