Actually, just looking at the content of the game, it makes sense for Cai Zhiyuan and Wang Yongxin to go through the trial game once more.

After all, the game in the cell they're in is relatively less dangerous, and going through two trials is still within the safe range.

But the number of opposition votes keeps increasing, and they're all sincere. Why?

Because Lin Sizhi exposed a key issue, which is that Ding Wenqiang himself can also enter the cell.

But he didn't.

As long as you consider this point, then no matter who Ding Wenqiang is judging, it's unjust.

In Ding Wenqiang's view, he is the King and it's reasonable for him not to undergo judgment.

But from the audience's perspective, you're also a Sinner, the culprit who directly ran into the delivery person, so why not accept judgment?

You should at least enter Cell Number 3. Even if you don't crush your finger, you should endure a reduction in visa time as punishment, right?

Moreover, knowing the voting results of others naturally triggers some sort of herd mentality.

"Everyone thinks it's unjust, so perhaps it is a bit unjust?"

Precisely because of such thoughts, except for Audience Number 7, who has always been strict towards prisoners and almost brainlessly votes in favor, most of the audience changed their minds.

Although among the audience, the five who bet on the King can't wait for Ding Wenqiang to quickly kill the other four people, under the Lie Detection Mechanism of the game, they can only vote according to their true feelings, to avoid pointlessly losing ten thousand minutes of visa time.

Except for Audience Number 1, who realized certain things.

Lin Sizhi stood up and looked into the arena again.

During the seventh vote, he intentionally voted in favor, which was a vote against his own conscience, resulting in a reduction of 10,000 minutes of visa time.

He voted this way because, at the beginning, Lin Sizhi deliberately voted incorrectly to test the Lie Detection Mechanism, which resulted in an additional 20-point deduction in Justice.

Now, intentionally voting in favor is to recover those 20 points.

And by the eighth vote, Lin Sizhi had actually realized that if he continued to wrongly vote in favor, he might be able to stop something from happening.

But he thought till the last second and still followed his heart, voting against.

Just as stated in the rules, this is someone else's trial, and he is just the Audience.

As the Audience, he believes he has fulfilled all his responsibilities.

Of course, upon reviewing the voting results afterward, it seems his vote of agree or disagree does not affect the game's ultimate outcome.

...

10 minutes have passed, and the trial game in Cell Number 1 is over.

Cai Zhiyuan lies panting on the ground, seemingly unable to even move a finger.

Fortunately, the trial game in Cell Number 1 is considered the least difficult, and multiple games just increase the intensity of the electric shocks. As long as Cai Zhiyuan doesn't stop, there won't be much danger.

Of course, with the increase in game rounds, the intensity of the electric shocks also intensifies.

If another game starts, any pause by Cai Zhiyuan, even for a second, could lead to death by high-voltage electric current.

Wang Yongxin's vision gets darker, and his brain grows increasingly muddled.

Initially still motivated by the desire to survive, searching for a way to live, but soon, his mind becomes blank, even starting to flash memories like a revolving lantern.

He instinctively tenses his body, gripping the rope and pulling down to make more breathing room for himself, but the rapid loss of strength soon makes him give up.

It seems as if a long time passes, yet it also seems like a mere instant, Wang Yongxin suddenly feels the pressure on his neck seemingly lighten, his whole body involuntarily goes limp.

This almost cost him his life because the rope simply lowered, not to the ground.

Under the effect of gravity, the rope around Wang Yongxin's neck nearly tightens further, and driven by adrenaline, he can only muster the last bit of strength to escape from the rope.

Afterward, he lies on the ground, coughing violently.

Ding Wenqiang looks at Cai Zhiyuan and Wang Yongxin with a complex expression.

Both survived, what a pity.

If one of them accidentally died, Ding Wenqiang would have an excuse. The last 2 rounds of the game could just take the remaining two away.

But now, he might be forced to make a choice between three people for two.

"Uncle Ding... let me live... don't kill me, I'm begging you…"

"Next game, I'll find a way to lose all my visa time to you…"

"Whatever you want... I'll go... earn it... I'll work for you…"

Wang Yongxin's voice is hoarse to the point of being unrecognizable, struggling for his last self-rescue.

"Lawyer Lin... and Officer Cao... are both in this game... as the Audience. I can... make them guarantors... witnesses…"

"No matter what those... audience... wager... I'll... offer double…"

Ding Wenqiang looks at Cai Zhiyuan again.

At this moment, this calculating programmer has no tactics left, leaning back against the mechanism, seemingly fully resigned to his fate.

Which of these two to choose?

Or... choose none? Gamble for the 500,000 minutes of visa time?

The game's time is quite ample, but it's clear that relying on time won't resolve this question.

Just then, a new broadcast sounds.

Ding Wenqiang raises his head with some confusion, have some audiences added more money?

Or are there audiences paying to make him refuse to kill?

However, the content of the broadcast is completely unfamiliar to Ding Wenqiang, even entirely incomprehensible.

[Due to audience voting, the King's Justice score has been deducted to zero, triggering the hidden rule of 'King's Judgment.']

[Now it's the prisoner's turn to judge the King.]

[Each prisoner's cell mechanism has unlocked a special voting button.]

[You can initiate an anonymous vote to decide whether the King continues to live or is executed.]

[Deceased prisoners will automatically cast execution votes.]

[If execution votes exceed half of the total prisoner votes, the King will be immediately executed.]

[Please note! This is the prisoners' only chance to judge the King in this game.]

[10-second countdown starts, make your choice.]

[10...]

[9...]

[8...]

...

The countdown moves quickly, and Ding Wenqiang looks in bewilderment as the three nearly exhausted prisoners each reach for their mechanisms, struggling to press the hidden button.

He cannot see what buttons these people pressed, nor has he figured out what their actions mean.

Helplessly lifting the scepter to try and intervene, but upon pressing it, nothing happens.

In sudden despair, Ding Wenqiang's mind goes blank.

But he quickly clutches onto a life-saving straw: exceeding half, execution of the King requires exceeding half of the total prisoner votes!

Not reaching, but exceeding!

The deceased Zhang Peng will default cast an execution vote, Gao Zhankui will surely cast an execution vote too.

But as long as Cai Zhiyuan and Wang Yongxin don't cast execution votes, the total vote count won't exceed half, then nothing will happen.

Cai Zhiyuan likely won't vote, but what about Wang Yongxin?

Numerous possibilities flash through Ding Wenqiang's mind instantly, but before he finds time to sort these possibilities based on probabilities, the cold broadcast tone sounds again.

[Voting ends.]

[The result of the anonymous voting is: The King is executed.]

Ding Wenqiang feels a sharp pain from his left wrist, looking down, the visa wristband seems to extend a needle piercing his radial artery, and a clear black line quickly flows towards his heart through his blood vessel.

He opens his mouth wanting to say something but can only let out a flood of black blood from his throat.

Ding Wenqiang instinctively uses his hand to cover his mouth, staring shockedly at the black blood in his palm.

After that, he collapses face up, without a sound.

[The King is executed, 'King's Judgment' cannot continue.]

[Antidotes have been injected into all Sinners.]

[Audience betting on prisoner side win, sharing all chips wagered and earned by audience betting on King side during the game.]

[Game over.]
