Chapter 490: The Lonely Feeder, the Only Light Left Unlit
With the screams, the large screen that suddenly appeared also came into Xie Antong's view.
In the center of the screen was a man, and Xie Antong quickly searched her memory for this person's image.
Although she didn't know him, she quickly recognized that this was one of those eighteen people.
Since she knew the other party wouldn't have much role in this game, we'll just call him Random Guy A.
He was a man, currently fixed to a cross.
But the biggest problem was that he wasn't fixed like Jesus - he was fixed upside down!
His legs were upward, and in a wide-open position, looking quite indecent.
Between his legs, a massive, rust-covered saw was continuously descending!
He was a male...
Xie Antong watched the scene and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of her mouth.Wait...
If that's the case, then the game's punishment, or rather torture, was about to begin, right?
But the lights weren't all red yet?
But now didn't seem to be the time to think about these questions, at least not for Random Guy A who was about to be cut open from his crotch by the saw.
At this point, most people's fear of death wasn't that obvious anymore.
But there were different ways to die.
"Couldn't you saw from the head?! Huh?!"
Random Guy A roared, his hands gathering powerful air currents as he began frantically attacking the cross.
He was really using every ounce of strength he had!
But it was useless - the cross had special glowing patterns that firmly suppressed all his power, leaving him unable to move.
His fingers danced frantically in the air as a giant golden hand grabbed the saw.
BOOM!
The saw, which had been slowly descending all along, let out a tremendous roar as it crushed the golden energy hand.
Then, it continued downward!
Random Guy A: !?
He didn't consider himself a coward, but now he was starting to think about using the Exit Coin.
RIIIP!
A piercing sound rang out as dark-colored blood began seeping from where the saw was descending.
Xie Antong:......
She couldn't help but gasp, involuntarily turning her head away, unable to keep watching.
This thing was truly terrifying - these punishments mainly exerted tremendous psychological pressure on people.
Herself...
Tongue-Ripping Hell...
Looking at the torture instruments around her, Xie Antong's expression became quite serious.
She had tried her best to speculate and had roughly successfully understood the situation, but was still judged to have failed.
Lying... that kind of thing was too difficult, especially when the definition of lies was in someone else's hands.
If the interpretive authority were with her, she could find reasonable explanations - she absolutely hadn't told a single lie!
Forcing herself to turn back, she continued watching the gruesome punishment.
Because she needed to know - why had the punishment started over there while hers hadn't begun? Had others' punishments not started either?
The other players were the same at this moment - each had a large screen in their room, watching the situation above.
Except for one person looking for food, everyone was watching intently.
At this point, when the saw entered flesh and began cutting downward, Random Guy A's voice had already disappeared.
He no longer screamed, but his eyes were bulging out, his entire face flushed red like a boiled shrimp.
This pain hadn't reached his tolerance limit yet, and he also had healing potions.
But...
He kind of wanted to die.
Just as he was about to reach his limit and start roaring, the game's voice suddenly appeared in his room.
【Hello, dear player, because of the crimes you've committed, this is your punishment.】
【Have you repented?】
"Repented! I've repented!"
Random Guy A shouted loudly. Right now, as long as the saw would stop, he would admit to any crime.
【Good that you've repented. Hmm.】
"It's over?!"
【Now, the other players are all in their rooms. They are all sinners, but only you are receiving punishment. Do you think this is right?】
"Your mother!? I'm the only one? Theirs haven't started yet?"
Random Guy A's voice cracked at that moment.
His own suffering was painful enough, but others' happiness was even harder to accept.
Others were fine? He became the unlucky one?
【Look to your right side.】
At that moment, two buttons appeared there - one red and one gray - exactly within reach of his fingers.
【Everyone should bear their own crimes.】
【The red button means letting another sinner endure the punishment, while you quietly repent here, with punishment paused.】
【And the other gray one...】
"Your mother! Why didn't you say so sooner, stop it quickly!!!"
Random Guy A didn't need to know what the other button was - his eyes were practically popping out as he immediately pressed the red button.
At this point, the saw had already sunk in quite deep - the scene was too beautiful to actually watch.
【Punishment transfer.】
As the voice fell, the saw stopped, but Xie Antong in another room was almost cursing.
"You could have endured one or two more seconds!"
Seriously, what were the rules for the other button? Didn't he even listen to them?
If you don't listen to these rules, how do you expect to win?
Did he really think he could just keep pressing the red button? No way.
Sawing Hell - although this punishment looked hard to accept, rationally speaking, the damage should actually be minimal in the early stages.
Xie Antong gritted her teeth in frustration, but there was nothing she could do. Random Guy A's video had already disappeared.
Before her eyes, another video popped up.
Black background with golden patterns - Council of Elders, Xu Long!
Xie Antong breathed a slight sigh of relief. Luckily it wasn't directly her turn - good fortune, she could still see the effect of the other button.
And she finally understood now.
This game - conviction, sentencing, then using players' self-preservation behaviors to pass along life and death.
Only one person could successfully atone for their sins...
Looking up, seventeen lights above had already turned red!
Only one light remained unlit.
Is it you?...
Xie Antong frowned, silently thinking.
Under normal circumstances, if there was one person who could possibly be the exception, it could only be Lu Ce!
But now, that was Gluttony - logically speaking he should only know how to eat.
Given this game's nature, it should be easy to be judged guilty.
That lone eater, the solitary feeding person, was he the only one not judged guilty?
"Unless..."
"Mortar and Pestle Hell?"
