God's imitator

Chapter 407 Punishment: The Fall

Jiao Hai was stunned for a moment. He quickly looked at his wrist, and the bracelet was perfectly fine, showing no signs of injecting toxins into his body.

But before he could even feel happy, he suddenly heard the grinding sound of a mechanism in his ear, and at the same time, a sharp pain shot through his temple!
"what!!"

Jiao Hai clutched his head and collapsed to the ground in agony, but the mechanism in his head did not stop.

The two spiral spikes continued to pierce his brain at a constant speed!
This method of death was far more painful than the lethal toxin injected through the bracelet; the piercing screams echoed throughout the entire venue.

After lasting for more than ten seconds, Jiao Hai finally collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Fu Chen looked at Jiao Hai's corpse with a complicated expression. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Peng Xinyuan patted him on the shoulder: "These are the rules of the game, it has nothing to do with you."

……

In the previous game, after entering Liu Jie's private punishment room, all four of them saw the complete rules.

[Punishment: Information]

Players entering the room will receive a special message for this game.

When the cracks on the pen reach one-third of its original size, there is a very high probability that it will be damaged beyond repair. The player possessing the pen will be subject to a death penalty.

If more than three players enter, an announcement will be made to all players inside.

[When the crack on the lathe reaches three-quarters of its total length, the lathe has a moderate probability of being destroyed.]

The above information is false.

However, all players entering the room are strictly prohibited from revealing the truth and must do their utmost to deceive other players into believing this false information; otherwise, they will also suffer the same instant death penalty.

After hearing this broadcast message, Jiao Hai did have some doubts.

So he didn't ask Peng Xinyuan, but asked Fu Chen instead.

But what he didn't expect was that this rule directly imposed restrictions at the level of the game rules, meaning that whether Fu Chen wanted to tell him the truth or not, he could only choose to lie.

This is a penalty for players who "did not enter the room" at the game rules level.

……

Jiao Hongtao felt a stinging pain in his wrist, and a dark line quickly crawled along his artery toward his heart.

After signing a special contract of "living and dying together", players outside the game will suffer the same instant death penalty, regardless of the reason for the death of players inside the game.

"how come……

"Xiao Hai, no... no!"

Jiao Hongtao never expected that death would come so suddenly. He looked at the big screen and saw Jiao Hai clutching his head and rolling on the ground in pain.

But Jiao Hongtao could do nothing. He could only take one last, blank look around before the world spun around him and he collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Guifen turned her face away and refused to look anymore; she couldn't bear it.

The other players simply moved away from Jiao Hongtao's corpse and looked back at the big screen.

……

Shen Xing's hands trembled, and the pen in his hand also trembled.

She tried hard to control herself and not look at Jiao Hai's body.

At this point, Chen Ran, Peng Xinyuan, and Fu Chen had completed the third map and confirmed their safety.

Shen Xing and Liu Jie, however, have not yet.

If they fail to complete the third map, they will also face death.

Shen Xing had already lifted the blockade at the start of this round of the game and had obtained more than 2 points of funding, and had also made significant modifications and upgrades to the car pen.

The weight has been significantly reduced, and the "out of control" situation is almost non-existent.

Even so, Shen Xing could still feel his hands trembling uncontrollably during the challenge.

This trembling did not stem from a defect in the pen itself, but from her own body.

This is the last round of the game, and the psychological pressure is too great!
Shen Xing is not a player with good mental fortitude. He would tremble and write crookedly due to nervousness during exams, let alone in a situation like this where his life or death was at stake and even greater precision was required.

"Come on!"

Fu Chen and Peng Xinyuan encouraged each other in as calm a voice as possible.

Shen Xing felt as if the whole world had slowed down, and she could clearly feel her own breathing and heartbeat. However, she still tried her best to control the pen in her hand and complete the track on the map.

"Beep!"

On her second attempt, Shen Xing finally managed to navigate the entire map using the car pen. The special sound effects and the lit green light meant that she did not go out of bounds at the last moment and successfully completed the challenge.

Shen Xing slumped into the chair, panting heavily.

For a moment, she couldn't even shout out in celebration.

However, a moment later, she heard Liu Jie's voice not far away. "No!"

With a "beep" sound, Liu Jie's last attempt also failed.

She covered her head in terror with her hands, but the mechanism in her head did not respond.

This time it's a wristband.

"No! I don't want to die!"

Liu Jie cried out in despair, but soon collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

From the start of the game until now, she has consistently received the least amount of funding. Although she has not been blocked or experienced any issues with her car pen breaking, the car pen's performance has ultimately been significantly inferior.

Moreover, the psychological pressure of the final round of the game is too great. Even the slightest mistake, such as the pen tip tilting slightly, can lead to irreversible consequences.

With a "bang," the door to Fu Chen's private torture room opened.

Now he's the only one left, so there's no need to choose again.

Peng Xinyuan and Shen Xing each stood up and silently followed behind Fu Chen.

Originally, Liu Jie could have helped him share the burden, but now there are only three players left.

We can only hope that this punishment won't be too dangerous.

However, at that moment, Chen Ran called out to Fu Chen.

"Let me see your hands."

Fu Chen paused for a moment, but still stretched out his hands.

Chen Ran turned Fu Chen's hand over so that his palm was facing up, and he could clearly see the wounds from when he pulled the ring earlier.

After considering for a moment, Chen Ran said, "I'll go with you."

……

The door slammed shut.

Fu Chen was stunned by the scene in the room.

Because it's different from all the rooms we've entered before.

The ceiling in this room is very, very high, at least ten meters high.

In the center of the room are six one-meter square platforms, neatly arranged in a row.

[Punishment: Fall]

Each player can choose any platform, with only one player allowed on each platform. The game begins once all players are logged in.

[Platforms that players have already climbed will continue to rise, with the height of the rise depending on the number of players.]

When only one player is on the platform, the default height is 8 meters.

When multiple players stand on the platform, the height will be shared.

Once the platform reaches its highest point, all players jump off the platform, at which point the game is considered complete.

Each player will receive visa time according to the rule of 'platform height (meters) x 1 minutes'.

After hearing the game rules, Peng Xinyuan was stunned for a moment.

"...Is your special punishment really that cruel?"

He bent down and touched the floor of the room; it was a hard surface.

In other words, if Fu Chen had entered the room alone, falling from a height of 8 meters onto a hard surface would have been extremely dangerous.

Of course, the severity of injuries during a fall is affected by many factors, such as the landing posture and the person's physical condition.

If someone is physically weak and falls and hits the back of their head, a fall of two or three meters could be extremely dangerous.

If a professional is involved, they can use special techniques to dissipate the force upon landing, and may be able to fall from a height of seven or eight meters without serious injury.

However, it is clear that none of the players participating in this game have mastered any special parkour or deceleration techniques.

If a person were to enter this room, they would almost certainly be seriously injured, and given the community's medical conditions, they would most likely die subsequently.

Even if two people enter, serious injury could still occur.

It is safest to have only three or more players.

Fu Chen was also somewhat surprised; he never expected his own special punishment to be like this.

The four of them stepped onto the platform.

A moment later, they heard a rumbling sound beneath their feet as the platform continued to rise, eventually stopping at a height of 2 meters.
