Chapter 371: Reinforcements one after another
When the Trial was over, the entire planet went into an uproar!
In various places of the world, the Prayers Trial Machine could be seen.
It was splitting itself very quickly, almost in every city of every country where there was a living person; such a machine would be present.
News outlets of various countries began to report on them.
Even the government and state scientists began to take notice of them.
Everyone thought of ways to communicate with this mysterious and strange item.
After the first Trial, the first person to act on it was a certain prisoner.
At the time, it was business as usual at the prison.
The prisoners were walking around the prison courtyard, exercising.
And then a sudden explosion came.
Outside the quarantine wire mesh, a Prayers Trial Machine appeared.
Everyone was shocked.
As soon as this prisoner saw the Prayers Trial Machine, he made a dash for it.
His hand went through the wired mesh as he tried to reach forward.
He reached it!
Not knowing how to use it, the prisoner only tried to touch the machine as much as he could.
The Prayers Trial Machine began to let out a rumbling voice: [Honorable customer, please tell me the name of the prisoner you wish to be judged, as well as his identity]
“Bode! Commissioner!” the prisoner hurriedly spoke.
This time, it was different from the first.
The guest judge, Murder Clown had already received his payment and left.
Instead of him, a phantom scale was the judge.
The phantom scale – the Libra appeared on the Prayers Trial Machine.
The Prayers Trial machine then rumbled: [Confirming whether or not Commissioner Bode is a sinner]
A glowing milky white heart and a glowing black heart appeared on either sides of the scale of Libra.
As soon as the two hearts were placed on the scale, the white heart jumped up, while the black heart dropped all the way down.
[An unpardonable sinner, conditions for Trial met] the Prayers Trial Machine spoke.
“Then begin quickly!” the prisoner hurriedly shouted.
Two guards were already running towards him from afar.
[Please pay in blood]
“You want my blood?” the prisoner was surprised.
[A bloody price is required for a bloody end, please pay in blood] the Prayers Trial Machine explained.
“How much do you need?” the prisoner gritted his teeth.

“Take it, quickly!”
As soon as he said so, he was grabbed and pulled back inside by the two guards.
The prisoner clutched tightly onto the wired mesh with one hand, the other still placed on the Prayers Trial Machine.
Unable to resist the force of two people for long, the prisoner was finally dragged back in.
The guards grappled him and started to beat him up.
Was the deal confirmed?
The prisoner screamed in pain, but his gaze was still locked straight onto the Prayers Trial Machine.
Rumble!
A solemn voice came from the Prayers Trial Machine: [The blood payment has been received, let us begin the Trial]
Its voice resounded within all of humanity’s hearts.
[Humans, if you silently chant ‘Prayers Trial Machine’, you will be able to see this Trial in your minds]
[Now viewing all the crimes Commissioner Bode has ever committed]
The scene of all the bribery he’s done or received, false testimony, scams, personally dealing drugs as well as the cover-up of drug deals were shown one by one.
“Look at that! Look at that!”
The prisoner on the ground shouted while still in pain.
The current scene was in fact the scene of Bode putting a bag of cocaine in his bag, followed by him being arrested.
The next scene was Commissioner Bode receiving a mansion as payment for his work as well as a large amount of credits.
The two guards were stunned and stopped their hands.
Bode’s crimes were revealed in front of everyone just like that.
The Prayers Trial Machine’s voice came: [While pretending to wear the mantle of justice, he shielded evil, bringing pain and suffering to countless innocent people, Mr. Bode’s punishment will increase by one level]
[In three minutes, if the red counter reaches 10000, Mr. Bode will be skewered on the pillar of shame and he’ll enjoy the searing sensation of being burned alive]
Bode appeared in everyone’s minds, wearing an Empire’s Commissioner Police uniform.
Bode yelled out: “It’s the devil! It’s trying to fool all of you, I’m innocent”!
“Somebody help me! God please help me!”
He was currently tied to a stake with a red counter in front of his chest.
Below the red counter was a frozen countdown timer.
[And so, let the countdown begin!]
The timer started ticking.
A notification appeared in front of everyone in Reality.

[Are you willing to donate blood to vote for Commissioner Bode’s death?]
Within the blink of an eye, the red counter reached 10000.
After 3 minutes, the counter stopped at 20 million.
Naturally, everyone understood what this meant.
Having been through so many strange and unbelievable things, humanity’s resistance towards such things has increased.
Everyone was feeling anger towards the crimes they were shown, more than anything else.
[Mr. Bode, you have received overwhelming support, winning yourself the burnt at the stake punishment] the Prayers Trial Machine rumbling voice declared.
The stake began to burn with a searing flame.
Bode screamed in pain and agony.
His body was shaking incessantly but both his hands and feet were fixed in place, unable to move at all.
Once the flames reached a high enough temperature, he stopped struggling.
His life of crime had ended.
[The second Trial is now over] the automatic Prayers Trial Machine spoke.
[The remaining Prayers shall be used to convert all of Mr. Bode’s possessions to credits, used as compensation for his victims]
[This vending machine doesn’t repay change and doesn’t accept refunds. Minors are to be accompanied by adults when watching]
[This Trial is over, please look forward to the next one]
The scene in their mind disappeared.
“Ahahaha, I got my revenge! I got my revenge!” the prisoner was still on the ground, wailing in joy.
His handcuffs suddenly released.
His prisoner garb also disappeared.
He was wearing a completely new set of clothes, together with a faint smell of cologne.
He appeared to be at the prime of his life.
The prisoner couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked down on himself.
Suddenly, a paper came out from his pocket and hovered in front of the guards.
“Proof of innocence and release…”
One of the guards muttered.
“Is this real?” The head warden also came, asking in a loud voice.
One of the guards took out a machine to scan the paper.
[Beep]!
[This is the newest trial results, confirmed and authenticated]
All the guards gasped.
The head warden’s phone started ringing.
He picked up and repeatedly answered: “Yes… yes sir…”
When he hung up, the head warden looked at the fresh-looking ex-prisoner and spoke: “Let him go”
He then explained to the rest: “Impartial Goddess has confirmed the results, her Majesty had also agreed”
…
From that moment on, every moment of every day, as long as someone chanted ‘Prayers Trial Machine’ in their heart, they would be able to see an ongoing Trial.
The Trials didn’t stop for even a second.
There was simply too much injustice in the world, as well as too many crimes.
And now, all that was due was paid in full.
Countless people across the world would seek out the machine.
Everyone wanted revenge on someone else.
And very quickly, they realized something.
It’s impossible to stop someone from using the Prayers Trial Machine.
Because the Prayers Trial Machine will always find a way to appear at the victim’s side.
Everyone also had the same open question.
A large number “1” is written on both sides of the Prayers Trial Machine.
Then, is there a number “2” machine?
Humanity didn’t have to wonder for too long
Because the answer quickly arrived.
The empty field outside the mountaintop mansion.
Three large arcade machines appeared before Gu Qing Shan’s group.
Next to the jet black Prayers Trial Machine was a claw machine.
It was painted in blue with a number “12” on both sides.
[Greetings, brave children, I am the Suffering Sea Rescuer Machine] the claw machine greeted them gently.
Another black vending machine painted with a large number “23”
[Want to sooth your anger? It’s simple, there is no need to do evil things by yourself, just come and find me, I am the Anger Appeasing Machine] the machine rumbled as it spoke.
A red selfie booth painted with a number “47”
[I am the Sinner Atonement Machine] the machine looked at Gu Qing Shan and slightly bowed: [Although you’ve killed quite a few people, you don’t need to use me, sincerely]
They respectively split themselves up and sent their copies away.
From the looks of it, they were heading to various places in the world.
The Prayers Trial Machine cleared its throat and spoke: [Let me introduce you first]
…
After it explained the usage of each machine, Gu Qing Shan’s group was speechless.
“Everything they make is like this, are the Divinities of Huang Quan normally that bored?” Gu Qing Shan muttered.
[Our Huang Quan has always been a place of absolute order and procedures, so in their free time, the Divinities also need a bit of entertainment] the Suffering Sea Rescuer Machine explained.
Ye Fei Li sighed, saying: “Your people of Huang Quan sure knew how to entertain yourselves”

Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey. The cover image was drawn by minyaxj, per my request, on a commercial license.
