Chapter 187 New Criminals
Yang Yuting hurriedly said, "Jiang He, I don't care how you want to sentence them, but you should be able to tell from the situation in the first cell that each cell is likely to house a man and a woman, and they are likely to be convicted of similar crimes."

"So what you should do now is give up thinking and give them both the same sentence."

"Even if you want to make money from the fertility fund, it doesn't matter if you sentence them all to death, the key is that the sentences must be the same, understand?"

Jiang He clearly didn't agree with this statement, but Yang Yuting's attitude was firm, so she had no choice but to compromise.

"Alright. Punishment!"

As Jiang He struck the gavel to deliver the 'punishment' verdict, the mechanism sealing the prisoner's mouth automatically opened, allowing her to let out a shrill scream.

If it is a "death sentence", then the mechanism in the mouth will not open.

Then, all the mechanisms were unlocked, and the female prisoner fell to the ground.

"What's your name? Which community are you from?" Jiang He asked.

As stated in the crime report, the female offender looked younger than Bai Yanyan, appearing to be under 20 years old.

She sobbed softly and said in a low voice, "My name is Chen Xin, from the 19th community."

Jiang He helped her up, and the group continued to the other half of the second courtroom.

Sure enough, this time the person locked to the wall was a male criminal.

[During a domestic violence incident, he used an axe to strike his wife's head, causing minor injuries, level one.]

[Sentencing: Sentenced to six years imprisonment for attempted murder. The sentence has been served.]

But when they saw the specific crimes and sentences, everyone was stunned.

Because this is slightly different from the first cell.

In the first cell, the male and female prisoners had committed similar crimes and received similar sentences, which were generally lenient.

Everyone initially assumed the second cell would be similar, but they discovered that the sentences for female inmates were still too lenient, while the sentences for male inmates were generally normal.

Jiang He originally thought that it would be fine to choose "punishment" for both prisoners this time.

However, given that female offenders receive lighter sentences and male offenders receive heavier sentences, it would not be appropriate to choose "punishment" for both.

What if a male criminal is found "not guilty"?

Jiang He felt utterly disgusted at the thought of this possibility.

On the one hand, "punishment" only costs 1000 points of reproductive fund, while "innocence" costs 1 points, which is a huge difference;
On the other hand, domestic violence perpetrators are usually repeat offenders, meaning that this male criminal has definitely not only beaten his wife once, but this time he went too far and got caught because of the seriousness of the situation.

Jiang He thinks that a domestic abuser who attacks his wife with an axe is worse than a cat, dog, or animal, and killing him would be perfectly reasonable.

She glanced at Yang Yuting, who silently shook her head.

There are only 3 cells in total, which means there are 3 female prisoners and 3 male prisoners.

If this male criminal is killed, it means that there will only be a maximum of two male players left who can use Mechanism 2.

What if the next criminal is so heinous that they must be sentenced to death?

Are you really suggesting that Li Jiang should use it 10 times by himself? That would be too outrageous.

Innocent? Death penalty?
These all seem to be unacceptable options.

Then the only option left is 'punishment'.

As Jiang He struck the gavel, the male criminal instinctively let out a scream, but then he gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang He.

Jiang He's face turned even uglier; she sensed that the other party was provoking her.

But the verdict has already been made and cannot be reversed.

The mechanism unlocked, and the male criminal fell to the ground.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Jiang He didn't seem to intend to help him up, Li Jiang had no choice but to step forward himself.

"What's your name? Which neighborhood are you from? Can you still walk?"

The male criminal stood up with Li Jiang's help: "Fei Xiong, from the 7th community."

Li Jiang didn't say much; he didn't have a good impression of this kind of extremely violent domestic abuser either.

He simply had Fei Xiong follow behind and continue the game.

……

The second trial room also contained birth control instruments, but this time there was one device (mechanism 1) and two devices (mechanism 2). Li Jiang pointed to one of the devices (mechanism 2) and quickly ushered Fei Xiong into it without much explanation.

Although Fei Xiong was also injured, it was clear that Li Jiang would not let him rest comfortably in the back just because of this injury.

Li Jiang himself also boarded another machine, number 2.

"Use it quickly so you can leave sooner."

After Li Jiang finished speaking, he asked Chen Yumei to press the start button for the two of them again.

Then they screamed together with Fei Xiong.

Jiang He glanced at Bai Yanyan, then at Chen Xin.

Her physical strength has not fully recovered, and it is uncertain whether she can last until the end if she uses mechanism 1 at this time.

If you fail halfway through, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Moreover, Bai Yanyan and Chen Xin are both criminals, and there's no reason for them to remain uninvolved and do nothing.

Jiang He said to Bai Yanyan, "Go use the mechanism 1. We've rested for a while now, it's about time."

Bai Yanyan's face showed a look of horror: "I...I can't...I can't take it..."

Jiang He reassured her, "Don't worry, I've tried it before, it's not actually that heavy. Just grit your teeth and bear it."

"There are many of us, so we can take turns sharing. You'll need to use it at least once, right?"

Bai Yanyan dared not disobey and could only walk into the office and carry the heavy objects.

Jiang He pressed the start button.

Suddenly, a weight pressed down on her shoulder, and Bai Yanyan felt as if her original wound had been torn apart instantly, causing her excruciating pain. She instinctively wanted to scream.

Jiang He reminded her, "Don't shout! Grit your teeth and bear it!"

Bai Yanyan gritted her teeth, but perhaps due to the adrenaline, the pain actually gave her extra strength, allowing her to hold on to the heavy object.

Everyone watched with trepidation, but thankfully Bai Yanyan persevered in the end.

"Well done! Excellent job!"

Jiang He held Bai Yanyan, who had fallen to the ground, and gently patted the uninjured parts of her body to comfort her.

One more 'Male Badge' and two more 'Female Badges' were created.

Everyone looked at the panel, where they now had two 'fertility badges' and two additional 'female badges'.

Moreover, there is good news from the current situation: the first stage is not as difficult as imagined, and even relatively weak women can persevere.

It only requires stamina to recover and cannot be used continuously.

But that doesn't matter, because with more female players, they can take turns sharing the burden, which is enough to complete the game's objectives.

Another piece of good news is that although the game rules state that both types of mechanisms only have a "certain probability" of producing badges, judging from the current situation, this probability should not be too low.

Because all attempts to make badges so far have been successful.

[Remaining Fertility Fund: 187000]

[Fertility Badge: 2]

[Male Badges: 0]

[Women's Badge: 2]

After a short rest, the group continued down the corridor to the third courtroom.

　Regarding why some players enter the Judgment Game as "cannon fodder" to be slaughtered: This is a hidden rule of the arcade, with two very clear foreshadowings laid beforehand.

　　1. Why is the initial visa duration different for each person, and why are players with shorter initial visa durations judged first?

　　2. Why are there significantly more files in this trial game compared to previous ones?

　　The subsequent debriefing will provide a more detailed analysis, but this involves spoilers and I won't elaborate further.
