Chapter 111: Judgment of Sin

Yin Xiu ignored them and turned to look at the warden, "Is it my turn?"

The warden trembled under his cold gaze, yet he felt a surge of uncontrollable excitement. "Come forward, place all the Sin Gate Coins on the value table in front of you, and the door to the dungeon will open for you."

Yin Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly. This was a condition that was not included in the passing rules.

However, the rules for passing the level were already confusing, and he wanted to see what tricks the warden could come up with.

Yin Xiu walked forward and noticed that there were seven grooves on the table in the middle of the red carpet.

Silently, under the warden's gaze, he placed the Sin Gate coins he had into the grooves one by one.

Every time he put one down, the warden's brow furrowed even more.

Yin Xiu was clearly wearing white handcuffs, which could increase the pollution of sins, and the Sin Gate was inherently polluted, so how did he stay sane with so many coins?

The warden couldn't figure it out, but if it was Yin Xiu, everything would seem normal to him. Anyway, he had made all the necessary preparations since he knew Yin Xiu would come to this copy, including the possibility that Yin Xiu might come here in white handcuffs.

But when the warden saw him coming here with the knife in hand and intact, he was still shocked.

"Okay." After placing all the coins in the slot with an expressionless face, Yin Xiu stared at the last empty slot, turned his head and scanned the crowd, ignoring Li Mo's cheerful smile, trying to find the player number 1.

But he didn't show up.

Yin Xiu couldn't help but frown, "Do we have to wait for the last person who possesses the Sin Gate Coin to come?"

If the other party doesn't show up for a long time, does he have to go back again, kill the person, and come back with the coin?

"It's okay." The warden waved his hand calmly. "Once you've deposited all your coins, move forward. The person with the Sin Gate Coin will appear before you. You just need to get the last Sin Gate Coin from him."

Faced with the warden's vague words, Yin Xiu just stared at him coldly and stepped forward under his gaze.

The moment he stepped into the small courtroom, overwhelming darkness swept over Yin Xiu. In the blink of an eye, the warden's office, Ye Tianxuan and the group of players all disappeared.

Rather, he was pulled into a separate space.

"Please, defendant, stand in the dock on the left." In the pitch-black environment, a beam of light shone on the center of the high court. The warden was staring at Yin Xiu with a smile. His fear was reduced a little, and his mood seemed to become more high-spirited.

Yin Xiu stood silently in the dock on the left side of the small courtroom, not even bothering to ask about their scenario setting.

"Please, plaintiff, take the plaintiff's seat on the right."

As the warden's voice rang out, Yin Xiu turned his head to look to his right, and suddenly found that Player No. 1, who was wearing a mask and covered in blood, was standing quietly in the plaintiff's seat, without even a breath. He stood there straight, ignoring Yin Xiu's gaze.

There were two clang-clang sounds as hammers fell on the table. Rows of chairs instantly appeared around. Sitting on them were walking fragments, like monsters that had been chopped in half by a knife or had broken limbs. They sat there motionless, without a breath.

In the courtroom, only the warden's voice could be heard clearly, "Please, plaintiffs, begin to state the defendant's crimes."

Yin Xiu turned his head in confusion and saw that the monsters who were originally sitting quietly suddenly became agitated, and sharp sounds filled the entire space.

"He killed me! He cut me in two!"

"He cut off my head! He threw me off a building!"

"He's inhumane! He killed everyone in the entire dungeon!"

"We demand a trial for him! A trial for him!"

Unlike the noisy noises of the monsters, the player standing in the plaintiff's seat remained motionless and didn't even make a sound.

"Silence!" The warden banged the gavel, clearing the noise of the monsters, and then slowly looked at Yin Xiu. "Faced with the plaintiffs' accusation that you are inhumanely slaughtering the copies, do you have any defense for yourself?"

Yin Xiu stared at him coldly. "Trial? Are you trying this copy?"

"right."

"I didn't kill so many monsters in this dungeon." Yin Xiu turned around and looked at Player 1 next to him, "He killed them all—"

His voice paused slightly, and he suddenly realized that there was a strange person standing in the plaintiff's seat next to him, and there was no Player Number One at all.

In a moment of surprise, Yin Xiu realized that there was something new on his face. He hurriedly took it off. It was the player's mask, stained with blood. His clothes and his knife were all stained with blood. Even the number on his prison uniform had become 1.

In an instant, he became Player One.

The monsters' voices became more ferocious.

"It's him! He's the one who killed us!" They screamed, pointing at Yin Xiu angrily, "It's him, this mask, this knife, it's him who killed us!"

"You are such a cruel person! You are a monster!"

"We demand a trial for him!"

"Yes! Judgment Trial!"

Faced with the monsters' passionate accusations, Yin Xiu just frowned and stared at them coldly, silently tightening the knife in his hand.

The monsters became even more angry.

"Look! He still wants to kill us! He's the one who should be imprisoned in this dungeon!"

"He has turned into a monster, and monsters cannot leave the dungeon!"

"Put him on trial! He's a monster! A monster can't pass the trial!"

The warden on the stage banged the gavel again, silencing the monsters' voices, and then looked at Yin Xiu. "Then, to verify whether you are a human being, we will judge your sins and put you into trial."

Before Yin Xiu even had time to understand what the trial of judgment was, the surroundings suddenly began to twist and the world spun around him.

The so-called trial was nothing more than a joke, just like they were observing Yin Xiu's reaction at will.

The world spun, and when it quieted down again, Yin Xiu found himself standing in the familiar square of Monster Town. The ground was littered with corpses, the bodies of countless players and strange monsters piled together, among them... was Yaya's body.

Yin Xiu frowned, clenched the knife in his hand, and walked over quickly.

The next second, the town disappeared and he found himself standing on an area of ​​lava with layers of flames burning.

The surroundings radiated scorching heat that burned his skin, and countless tongues of flames burned and surged, and a voice continuously came from within, "He is angry, he is angry, he is angry!"

A huge eye opened in the gloomy sky, staring at Yin Xiu who was standing in the fire.

Then his eyes slowly closed, and all the light in the space disappeared.

The next second, a light breeze blew past Yin Xiu, and the rustling of leaves was heard in the wind. Someone's voice came over, floating up and down with the wind.

Yin Xiu stood by the lake where he usually fished. The lake was shimmering and the lively voices of players could be heard in the distance. This was the environment he was most familiar with.

He turned around and watched Ye Tianxuan walking down the path. Many players surrounded him and shouted excitedly, "Boss Ye, I'll go to your room and cook for you later! You must be exhausted after just coming out of the dungeon. Take a break!"

"Yes, yes, what will happen to the town without you! For the sake of the town and for us! You have to cherish yourself!"

Ye Tianxuan smiled faintly and waved his hand, "Go away, I don't want to eat the awful meal made by you guys, a bunch of rough old men. I'll make it myself."

"Woo woo woo... Boss Ye asked us to do something for you..."

He stood on the shore and watched the figures walking farther and farther away, blending into the larger crowd in the town with laughter and joy.

The evening breeze blew past his lonely figure standing by the lake, and the wind carried a sharp and mocking voice.

"He is jealous, he is jealous, he is jealous!"
