Chapter 187: The First to Step with the Left Foot is Guilty?!
Qin Feng stood alone on a platform that soared 300 meters into the air.
He looked down.
The entire platform was constructed of white jade-like stone, smooth and flawless, radiating a soft white glow that illuminated the entire space.
Surrounding the white jade platform was a labyrinth, bathed in a similar ethereal light.
The labyrinth’s walls were also made of jade-like bricks, giving the space a sacred aura. However, in the distance, an endless, deep darkness stretched out.
“Judgment Land?”
“What kind of challenge is this?”
Qin Feng furrowed his brows slightly.
He noticed that in different areas of the labyrinth below, white light spots were emerging.
One by one, players were being ‘summoned’ into the space.
Through the system’s prompts, Qin Feng realized that many of these players were familiar faces!
For example, the six members of Wang Meng’s team—Wang Meng, Lin Li Yu, An Yu, Xue Tian, the sharp-eyed Archer, and the Cardmaster uncle—all appeared together.
However, upon entering Judgment Land, everyone was separated and found themselves in different corners of the labyrinth.
Qin Feng also spotted a familiar figure—the young, full-figured woman from Guanggang, Yi Yun Yan.
Even the little ghost girl, Xiao Luo Li, had been teleported in.
“Wan Ye Wei Yu?”
“Qin Xiao You?”
“Chen Wuming is here too?”
“Safe First? Steady as an old dog?”
Qin Feng fell silent.
He realized that around a hundred people had been summoned into this space.
The composition of these players was quite complicated.
Some were friends from this life.
Some were friends from his previous life, but they had never interacted in this life.
There were also enemies from his past life.
And then there were more complicated figures like Qin Xiao You…
For the time being, these players could neither move nor see Qin Feng, who remained hidden atop the white jade platform.
They were scattered throughout the white jade labyrinth, observing their surroundings with confusion and wariness…
“Inheritor…”
A soft, ancient voice echoed beside Qin Feng.
Turning slightly, Qin Feng saw the white-robed Judgment Angel, Ashashis, silently materialize next to him.
Under her robe, her delicate and divine face shone, her pale golden eyes revealing a subtle smile. “This challenge is what we call an ‘Internship Judgment.’”
Internship Judgment?
Qin Feng was taken aback by her words.
So there’s such a thing as an internship in Judgment?
“But… am I finally about to deal with something related to the power of judgment?”
“These players that have been summoned… Could they be my judgment targets?”
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, feeling intrigued.
Ashashis stood beside him, raising her arm, which gleamed like lamb-fat white jade, and gently tapped the air a few times.
A line of pale golden text appeared before Qin Feng’s eyes.
—
[This challenge is titled: Fair Judgment]
[In addition to you, 100 players have been summoned to ‘Judgment Land’.]
[After the challenge begins, 20 players will be assigned the identity of ‘Fugitives,’ while 80 players will become ‘Pursuers.’]
[You must kill all the ‘guilty’ individuals to succeed in the challenge (killing the wrong person or missing one will result in failure).]
—
???
Qin Feng glanced over the challenge rules. They were simple enough.
But…
This problem is not so easy to solve!
“Guilty individuals? How do I judge if someone is guilty?”
At this moment, two more lines of prompts appeared before him:
—
[Fugitive Faction: Gains an additional 30% movement speed. Their objective is to survive for 30 minutes.]
[Pursuer Faction: Deals double damage to ‘Fugitives.’ Their objective is to kill as many Fugitives as possible.]
(Note: After 30 minutes, the more Fugitives that survive, the greater the rewards for all Fugitives; the more Fugitives that Pursuers kill, the greater the rewards for all Pursuers.)
—
The situation had become a bit complicated.
Qin Feng fell into deep thought.
This seemed to be a role-playing escape game.
In this game, Qin Feng needed to identify the ‘guilty’ individuals and kill them all…
“Judgmenter, you are the god.”
“Who is guilty will be chosen by you before the challenge begins.”
Ashashis smiled faintly, her lips moving as she spoke in the ancient language, before her form dissipated into star-like lights…
Who is guilty, is to be decided by me?
Qin Feng was slightly surprised.
Does this mean I can just kill anyone I want? If I say they’re guilty, they’re guilty?
“It can’t be that simple…”
Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.
After Ashashis’s white-robed figure vanished, a pale golden button appeared before him—‘Who is guilty?’
Qin Feng reached out and clicked the button.
Sure enough…
Eight options popped up in front of him:
—
[In this challenge, who is guilty? Please make a selection!]
[Option 1: People you don’t know are guilty.]
[Option 2: Anyone who is not your friend is guilty.]
[Option 3: Your family members are guilty.]
[Option 4: Anyone with hostile intent toward you is guilty.]
[Option 5: The first to step with their left foot is guilty.]
[Option 6: Fugitives are guilty.]
[Option 7: Pursuers are guilty.]
[Option 8: Those who betray their faction are guilty.]
—
“What the hell?”
“So many trap options?”
Qin Feng quickly realized that some of these choices were designed to mislead him.
Take Option 1, for instance: ‘People you don’t know are guilty.’
On the surface, it seemed like choosing this would clear everyone Qin Feng knows of guilt.
But what exactly does ‘knowing’ someone mean?
Does it refer to knowing them in this life, or does knowing them from the past life count?
If someone was known to him in the past life but not in this life, would that count as ‘knowing’?
If he kills the wrong person or misses one, the challenge will fail!
Then there’s Option 2: ‘Anyone who is not your friend is guilty.’
What if someone was a friend in the previous life but not in this one?
What about if they were friends, then unfriended?
And the third option seemed tempting, as it might allow him to simply kill Qin Xiao You and finish the challenge…
But…
He wasn’t related to her by blood, and they had verbally severed ties.
In the system’s eyes, are they considered family?
As for Option 4, “Anyone with hostile intent toward you is guilty”—how would he know who harbors hostility toward him?
What if someone only had hostile intent for a brief moment?
In conclusion…
The conditions for judgment in these first four options were too vague!
They were not as clear-cut as Option 5: ‘The first to step with their left foot is guilty.’ At least this one was straightforward.
“Using their identities to determine guilt is too ambiguous, since this life and the previous life are completely different, and I don’t know the system’s exact standards for judgment.”
“Using their behavior to determine guilt is also inaccurate, because I can’t observe the behavior of all 100 people at once… Even with clear laws, there are still many wrongful convictions.”
“So, the simplest way is to use their temporary identities in this event to determine guilt!”
“For example, Fugitives are guilty, Pursuers are guilty!”
“The simplest of them all…”
“Of course, Fugitives are guilty!”
“Just need to kill 20 of them to complete this challenge!”
After a brief moment of thought, Qin Feng made his decision.
He reached out and clicked the button…
And selected: Fugitives are guilty!
