God's imitator

Chapter 500 Another Arrangement

This surprised Song Xiao as well.

Since the start of the game, he has been trying to launch attacks against Cai Zhiyuan in various ways, whether it was his previous attempt to seize the identity of "Hermit" or his later instigation, which has already drawn a lot of hatred.

But now, Cai Zhiyuan is actually willing to use the game mechanics to let him off the hook.

Song Xiao's voice noticeably lowered: "Thank you. But... is it really necessary to verify it again with the lantern?"

Cai Zhiyuan shook his head: "No need."

He finally looked at Cui Yifeng and said, "You go to cell number 5."

Now it was Cui Yifeng's turn to lose his composure.

Even though Song Xiao provoked Cai Zhiyuan the most, Cai Zhiyuan reserved the most dangerous cell, Cell No. 5, for him, instead letting Song Xiao off the hook.

"Ha, in the end, didn't you also not arrange it in the way that 'best conforms to the rules of the trial game'?"

"Still pretending to think."

Cui Yifeng was naturally unwilling, but he had no other choice, because Cai Zhiyuan could easily use his cane to force him in.

—Although the cane only allows for one use of force, if used properly, it can also be used to command everyone.

Cai Zhiyuan finally got annoyed: "Can you shut up?"

"Please don't misunderstand. A trash player like you doesn't deserve my attention."

Whether you live or die, I don't care at all.

“Song Xiao, I’m not some kind of altruistic person. I just don’t need to kill you in such a crucial trial game.”

"Cui Yifeng, you will definitely suffer in cell number 5, but you won't die."

"The copycat who designed this game is only targeting me. As for making you suffer, that's my personal decision."

“You were involved in too much of the ‘King’s Trial’.”

Cui Yifeng was stunned. He seemed to want to say something, but he pursed his lips and swallowed it in the end.

At the beginning, Cai Zhiyuan did not understand all the rules of the game, so he pretended to be a "super privilege player" for the time being.

But now that all the rules are clear, and Cai Zhiyuan has reluctantly accepted the identity of the 'Hermit,' there's no need for him to keep up the act any longer.

The other players gradually figured out the situation: although they didn't know the reason, it was obviously a trial game targeting Cai Zhiyuan alone.

The other players are just there to make up the numbers.

There was one last cell left unassigned, cell number 6, which was "destined to be left to fate".

Gao Jialiang looked at Cai Zhiyuan. Now, the only two left who hadn't been assigned a cell were the two of them.

Gao Jialiang initially thought that Cai Zhiyuan would definitely throw him into this cell, but then he thought again, and that didn't seem right.

Because "super privilege players" must enter a certain cell; if they don't, they will suffer an immediate death penalty.

In other words, players who don't enter the cell also face the risk of death, because no one knows whether they are a "super privilege player".

Judging from the current situation, it seems more likely that Tsai Chih-yuan himself is a "super privilege player".

If he isn't, then he can easily pass through the level simply by staying outside, which would be too easy for him.

As expected, Cai Zhiyuan first closed the iron door for the other players entering the cell, and then went into cell number 6 himself and closed the iron door.

Players have been assigned to all the cells.

Gao Jialiang, who was left outside in the end, was a little unaccustomed to it.

Because he rarely enjoys this kind of treatment in the game.

Gao Jialiang's looks are so outstanding that in the game, whenever he shows his face, he will basically receive "special attention," sometimes positive and sometimes negative, but he is rarely ignored.

"But...why did Cai Zhiyuan choose this cell? It's not the most dangerous, but it's clearly not the safest either, right?"

Gao Jialiang scratched his head, puzzled, unable to understand.

……

In cell number 1, Sun De was still diligently pushing the bar, seemingly without any danger.

Cells 2 and 3 adopted the same rule: "spend all your money." Therefore, Fu Yujun and Song Xiao, who were in those cells, did not need to do anything.

In cell number 4, Huang Ming's "questioning of the heart" has begun.

Other players in the cells are also free to ask questions and vote.

"Are you a male player?" The speaker was a little out of breath; it was Sun De.

Clearly, he didn't intend to make things difficult for Huang Ming; he just planned to ask a couple of questions casually and go through the motions.

"Yes," Huang Ming answered truthfully.

The green light in the cell means that the lie detector test was passed and the insincere mechanism was not triggered.

Have you ever had the urge to kill a fellow player from your community while playing a game?

To Gao Jialiang's surprise, it was Fu Yujun who asked the question.

Fu Yujun had no conflict with Huang Ming in this game, but he seemed to intend to handle things officially and did not ask any harmless questions like Sun De did.

Clearly, in Fu Yujun's view, it was a good thing that Huang Ming took the initiative to engage in the "question of the heart," but it did not prove that he was necessarily as kind and harmless as he appeared.

If he is truly kind, then such problems will not pose a threat to him.

If he's faking it, trying to use his acting skills to avoid the game's punishment mechanisms, then such a player shouldn't be allowed to stay.

"No."

Huang Ming gave a clear answer: the green light was still on.

Huang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, because people inevitably have all sorts of random thoughts, but fortunately the lie detection mechanism in the corridor was as accurate as ever.

In cell number 5, Cui Yifeng had already begun the game with trepidation.

Similar to the "Monitor" role in the "Lift Game," players can choose different locations within this cell, while the "Monitor Doll" will move randomly within the cell.

But the biggest difference is that the head of the monitoring doll has been replaced with a nail gun mechanism.

Cui Yifeng had already witnessed the power of the nail gun in "The King's Judgment." If it hit a vital part such as the head, it would be an instant death, beyond saving even by a miracle.

Therefore, every time they are discovered by the surveillance doll, they face the direct risk of death.

Although Cai Zhiyuan was very certain that the copycat who designed the game was only targeting him, and that Cui Yifeng would suffer in this cell but wouldn't actually die...

But for Cui Yifeng, it was impossible to believe everything.

He still had to muster all his energy and concentrate fully to complete the game.

Cui Yifeng chose a spot relatively close to a corner with the best view, so that he could better observe the movements of the "monitoring doll".

Unfortunately, even so, it is impossible to guarantee one's absolute safety, because the puppet's actions are completely random.

“Crack!”

Before Cui Yifeng could react, the nail gun on the monitor doll's head had already fired, and a sharp nail instantly pierced his left shoulder.

"what!!"

Cui Yifeng screamed and quickly released his hand from the button.

The monitoring dummy stared at him for two more seconds before turning away and continuing its patrol of the cell at varying speeds.
