Chapter 410 Different Accusations

According to the game rules, audience member number 11 spoke first.

If his accusations are true, then the voting process will proceed directly; if they are false, then subsequent audience members will be allowed to file further accusations.

"Among all the punishments suffered by players inside the game, Fu Chen's was the most severe. If no other players helped to share the burden, he would almost certainly die or be maimed, with the highest probability of death."

"And this form of punishment is very similar to 'jumping off a building'."

"Considering that 'repair shop' represents a place like 'internet addiction treatment center,' and Fu Yujun's crime is related to 'jumping off a building,' I believe that Fu Yujun should have a direct connection with an institution like 'internet addiction treatment center,' which may directly or indirectly involve human life."

However, this time a jarring error sound came from the small screen.

The allegations made by audience member number 11 are unfounded; 3 minutes of visa time will be deducted from their visa.

[Viewer number 17 continues to file accusations.]

A moment later, a female voice came over the loudspeaker.

Yang Yuting strained her ears to listen carefully, and due to the interference from the broadcast, the voice was somewhat different from Li Renshu's original voice.

However, since the two were from the same community, Yang Yuting was very familiar with Li Renshu's speaking habits, so she was able to confirm that audience member number 17 was indeed Li Renshu.

"Clearly, the punishment that directly corresponds to the 'Internet Addiction Treatment Center' is the 'electric shock' that Jiao Hai experienced."

"However, I have also encountered Jiao Hongtao in other games, and I do not believe that Jiao Hongtao is a core member of a similar organization. He may have just worked as a security guard or something similar."

"As for Fu Yujun's crimes, it is certain that they are indeed related to 'jumping off a building'."

"The three types of equipment in the game, 'Gas Station,' 'Repair Shop,' and 'Modification Shop,' can all improve the performance of the vehicle, but they differ greatly in terms of 'creating cracks.'"

"Therefore, I think that 'modification factory' represents internet addiction treatment centers, while 'repair factory' represents places with slightly less harm, such as schools that strictly adhere to military-style management, which are commonly known as 'college entrance examination factories'."

"In places like this, more suicides are likely to occur."

"Because the people in internet addiction treatment centers are very clear about what they are doing, they almost never give children the opportunity to jump off buildings. The murders that occur are mostly due to beatings or electric shocks; while in ordinary schools, jumping off buildings is also rare."

"I guess Fu Yujun might be working as a teacher, dean of studies, or something similar in a school that's a kind of 'college entrance exam factory'."

"However... even if there may have been cases of people jumping off buildings at such schools, I don't think that constitutes a crime."

"As a father, his ability to allow Fu Chen to pursue a freelance career and to educate Fu Chen well fully demonstrates that he has a kind heart."

"But in order to support his family, he is unlikely to change his profession or the school environment."

"Therefore, I believe it was 'unavoidable and understandable'."

The allegations made by audience member number 17 are valid.

Now, we invite all viewers to participate in a public vote to determine whether he is "guilty" or "not guilty."

Yang Yuting quickly pressed "Innocent," but this time a piercing notification sound appeared.

[If you trigger a violation of consent criteria, you will have 2 minutes of your visa time deducted.]

Yang Yuting felt somewhat helpless; the corridor's judgment of insincerity was still too accurate.

Deep down, she didn't completely agree with Li Renshu's statement. Was it really impossible to change one's profession in order to support one's family? Could Fu Yujun really feel no remorse for the children in the school who chose to jump from high-rise buildings and end their lives?

Yang Yuting didn't think so deep down.

However, she accepted the result, which was essentially using 2 minutes of visa time to buy a "not guilty" vote.

This isn't exactly a losing proposition.

Now that things have come to this, Yang Yuting fully understands why Li Renshu made this choice.

Clearly, this is a "protective charge".

Because the game doesn't reveal players' detailed profiles, and viewers' guesses about crimes don't need to be absolutely accurate—as long as the general outline is correct—they can influence other viewers' votes to some extent.

The same action, expressed in different words, can have completely opposite effects.

With more than one player having already filed charges, Li Renshu's charges being upheld can prevent further charges from being filed by other players and guide other viewers to vote "not guilty" for Fu Yujun as much as possible.

This is much better than completely leaving things to fate.

[The voting has ended, and Fu Yujun received 12 votes for "guilty".]

[The fourth player to be "publicly tried" is Peng Hong.]

[Viewer number 19 filed charges against Peng Hong.]

"The crime is obvious, isn't it? Peng Xinyuan's punishment is 'production line,' and the corresponding equipment should be 'car rental shop.' The metaphor should also be clear."

"After all, news of some schools colluding with electronics factories to exploit students has been emerging one after another."

"In fact, judging solely from the degree of danger of the punishment, Peng Hong is most likely just an ordinary unscrupulous boss, and probably has never caused any deaths."

"Judging from his performance in the game, Peng Hong, although not very educated, is a competent father."

"but……"

Audience member number 19 then changed the subject: "Peng Hong said that Peng Xinyuan wasn't cut out for studying, so he tried every means to send Peng Xinyuan abroad to study. Moreover, Peng Xinyuan is indeed a good kid. Although he's not quite as good as Chen Ran, he's still loyal, righteous, and responsible."

"But that's exactly what makes me feel uncomfortable."

Where did Peng Xinyuan get the tuition fees to study abroad?

"Was it deducted penny by penny from those children who were sold by the school to work in factories for internships?"
"The same two children, one is tightening screws in a factory and earning less than a temporary worker, while the other is studying abroad and living a completely different life."

"Even a large portion of the latter's money comes from the former."

"Simply because the latter is the boss's son."

"Perhaps this boss is a good father, but there is absolutely no way to say that he is 'excusable'."

Clearly, a rather bad situation has arisen.

Audience member number 19 clearly harbored some malice towards Peng Hong, and this malice was accurately conveyed to all the audience members during the accusation process.

The allegations made by audience member number 19 are valid.

[The vote has ended, and Peng Hong received 14 votes for "guilty".]

[The fifth player to be "publicly tried" is Wu Xiaomei.]

Time passed slowly, and no one brought charges against Wu Xiaomei yet.

In terms of game content, Wu Xiaomei was the most successful outside player, securing the most funding for Chen Ran.

Whether it was bidding for cars and pens, signing "life and death" contracts, or voting, Wu Xiaomei did a lot.

Chen Ran is the player who has completed the most "painting track" challenges among all the players in the inner field. This is certainly due to her own efforts, but Wu Xiaomei's help is also indispensable.

Moreover, there were already many viewers who bet on Wu Xiaomei, and they were about to receive huge returns, so they naturally had no reason to accuse her.

But Yang Yuting pressed the button at the last second.

[Viewer number 16 filed an accusation against Wu Xiaomei.]

　This dungeon will be finished tomorrow; the next one will be more of a pure strategy game.
