God's Imitator

Chapter 499: Another Kind of Arrangement

This actually surprised Song Xiao.Because from the start of the game until now, he had been trying every means to attack Cai Zhiyuan. Whether it was previously attempting to seize the "Hermit" identity or later stirring things up, he had already drawn quite a lot of hatred.

But now, Cai Zhiyuan was actually willing to use the game mechanism to let him off.

Song Xiao's voice obviously lowered, "Thank you. But... do you really not need to verify with the lantern again?"

Cai Zhiyuan shook his head, "No need."

He finally looked at Cui Yifeng, "You enter Prison Cell 5."

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

Because clearly Song Xiao had provoked Cai Zhiyuan the most, yet Cai Zhiyuan left the most dangerous Prison Cell 5 "Death Surveillance" for him, and instead let Song Xiao off.

"Ha, in the end, aren't you also not arranging things 'in the way most consistent with judgment game rules'?

"Still pretending to think there."

Cui Yifeng was of course unwilling, but he also had no other choice, because Cai Zhiyuan could completely use the staff to force him to enter.

Although the staff only had one forced opportunity, as long as it was used properly, it could also be used to command everyone.

Cai Zhiyuan finally became somewhat annoyed, "Can you shut up?

"Please don't misunderstand. Garbage players like you don't deserve my consideration at all.

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

"Song Xiao, I'm not some good person who repays evil with virtue. I just have no need to kill you in such a crucial judgment game.

"Cui Yifeng, you'll definitely suffer in Prison Cell 5, but you won't die.

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

"In 'King's Judgment,' you were too meddlesome."

Cui Yifeng was stunned. He seemed to want to say something more, but pursed his lips and ultimately swallowed it down.

At the very beginning, Cai Zhiyuan hadn't figured out all the rules of this game, so he still pretended a bit and temporarily dispelled suspicion of himself as the ‘Super Authority Player.’

But now, since all the rules had been clarified and Cai Zhiyuan ultimately still somewhat reluctantly obtained the "Hermit" identity, then he had no need to continue pretending.

The other players also gradually figured out the situation: although the reason was unclear, but... this was obviously a judgment game targeting Cai Zhiyuan alone.

And the other players were all supporting cast.

There was one last prison cell that hadn't been assigned, which was Prison Cell 6 "Submit to Fate."

Gao Jialiang looked at Cai Zhiyuan. Now, only the two of them hadn't been assigned prison cells yet.

Gao Jialiang originally thought Cai Zhiyuan would definitely throw him into this prison cell, but thinking again, that wasn't right.

Because the ‘Super Authority Player’ had to enter one of the prison cells. If they didn't enter, they would directly suffer immediate death penalty.

In other words, players who didn't enter prison cells would also bear death risk, because no one knew whether they were actually the ‘Super Authority Player’ or not.

From the current situation, it seemed the possibility that Cai Zhiyuan himself was the ‘Super Authority Player’ was greater.

If he wasn't, then as long as he stayed outside he could successfully clear the game. That would be too easy for him.

Sure enough, Cai Zhiyuan first closed the iron doors for the other players who entered prison cells, then walked into Prison Cell 6 himself and closed the iron door.

All the prison cells had been assigned players.

Gao Jialiang, who was left outside in the end, felt somewhat unaccustomed instead.

Because he rarely enjoyed this kind of treatment in games.

Gao Jialiang's appearance was too outstanding, so in games, as long as he showed his face he would basically receive "special attention," sometimes positive and sometimes negative, but it was extremely rare to be ignored.

"But... why did Cai Zhiyuan choose this prison cell?

"Although this isn't the most dangerous, it's obviously not the safest either, right?"

Gao Jialiang scratched his head in confusion, unable to understand.

...

In Prison Cell 1, Sun De was still working hard to continuously push the crossbar. It looked like there was no danger.

Prison Cells 2 and 3 became the same rules, both "Scattering a Fortune," so Fu Yujun and Song Xiao inside didn't need to do anything.

In Prison Cell 4, Huang Ming's "Heart-Piercing Questions" had already begun.

The other players in prison cells could also freely ask questions and vote.

"Are you a male player?" The speaker was a bit out of breath. This was Sun De.

Obviously, he didn't intend to make things difficult for Huang Ming, just planned to casually ask two questions and go through the motions.

"Yes." Huang Ming answered truthfully.

The green light in the prison cell lit up, meaning the lie detection passed and didn't trigger the conscience mechanism.

"Have you ever had thoughts of killing players from your own community during a game?"

What surprised Gao Jialiang somewhat was that this question was asked by Fu Yujun.

Fu Yujun had no conflicts with Huang Ming in this game, but he still seemed to plan to be businesslike and didn't deliberately ask non-threatening questions like Sun De.

Obviously, in Fu Yujun's view, Huang Ming actively entering "Heart-Piercing Questions" was a good thing, but it couldn't prove he was definitely as kind and harmless as he appeared.

If he was truly kind, then such questions wouldn't pose a threat to him.

If he was pretending, wanting to use his acting skills to play the darkness under the lamp and evade the game's punishment mechanism, then such players couldn't be kept either.

"No."

Huang Ming gave a clear answer. The green light still lit up.

Huang Ming himself also let out a breath of relief, because people inevitably have some messy thoughts. Fortunately, the Gallery's lie detection mechanism was as accurate as always.

In Prison Cell 5, Cui Yifeng had also already begun the game with trepidation.

Similar to "Surveillance" in ‘Lifting Game,’ players could choose different positions in this prison cell, while the "surveillance mannequin" would move randomly in the cell.

But the biggest difference was that the surveillance mannequin's head had become a nail gun contraption.

Cui Yifeng had already witnessed the power of the nail gun in ‘King’s Judgment.’ If it hit vital areas like the head, death would be immediate and gods couldn't save you.

So every time he was discovered by the surveillance mannequin, he would directly bear death risk.

Although Cai Zhiyuan said very confidently that the God's Imitator who designed this game was only targeting him alone, and Cui Yifeng would suffer in this prison cell but wouldn't actually die...

But for Cui Yifeng, he couldn't completely believe it.

He still could only summon his full attention and concentrate completely to finish the game.

Cui Yifeng chose a position relatively close to the corner with the best view. This way he could better observe the movements of the "surveillance mannequin."

But unfortunately, even so it was impossible to ensure his absolute safety, because the mannequin's movements were completely random.

"Click!"

Before Cui Yifeng could really react, the nail gun on the surveillance mannequin's head had already fired. A sharp nail instantly pierced into his left shoulder.

"Ah!!"

Cui Yifeng screamed and hurriedly released his hand from pressing the button.

The surveillance mannequin stared at him for another two seconds before turning to leave, continuing to patrol the prison cell at varying speeds.
