The Cannon Fodder Character in Four Infinite Flow Novels

Time was even more pressing than Bai Jin had imagined. However, the System still granted Bai Jin sufficient rest here. After enjoying a delicious meal in this castle as the Countess, Bai Jin, who had no more acting tasks here, needed to rush to the next set.
According to the System, it now wanted Bai Jin to understand his various minor roles, allowing him to adapt beforehand. Bai Jin didn't find this unfavorable. Understanding the roles he had to play earlier might make it easier for that Bai Jin to calculate which tasks were definitely necessary and which were not, he was really working hard to slack off.
When he opened his eyes again, Bai Jin had already arrived at another set. Bai Jin once again habitually looked at himself.
He saw that he was wearing a pair of black military boots. These boots completely enclosed and wrapped his calves, revealing a slender and aesthetically pleasing curve.
He saw that he was holding a military baton in his hand. The dark, T-shaped military baton was gripped firmly in his hand. He was also wearing black leather gloves.
Bai Jin raised his head and saw a huge French window in front of him. He could vaguely see his own appearance in the reflection of the glass. His entire body was wrapped in a set of black military uniform, and he was also wearing a stern and dignified military cap on his head. The shadow cast by the brim of the military cap further added a touch of coldness to Bai Jin's already indifferent eyebrows and eyes.
Although Bai Jin was not a sporty person, his body proportions were actually very good, and the muscles all over his body were very firm. After putting on this military uniform, the belt tightly cinched his waist, making his waist even more slender, his shoulders slightly broader, and his legs a bit longer.
He looked very good standing there. However, since it wasn't his scene yet, even if his appearance was superior, many people's attention wouldn't be focused on Bai Jin.
Bai Jin looked at the people inside the glass, confined in the room, wearing uniform prison clothes and the same shackles. He knew which book this world belonged to – it was Tower of Dead Souls.
If a person possessed an immense desire to survive before death, they would be drawn into this terrifying world. If they wanted to be reborn, they must withstand the trial: climb the eighteen levels of the Tower of Dead Souls.
After climbing the tower, while obtaining rebirth, they could also gain extraordinary abilities and desired things. These three conditions were enough for many people to gamble everything, but almost no one could climb all eighteen levels of the Tower of Dead Souls.
The difficulty of each level of the Tower of Dead Souls increased progressively. Even if a person exhausted all their efforts to reach the eighteenth level, if they failed on the eighteenth level, although they wouldn't face true, eternal death, they would have to start all over again from the first level. Moreover, the Tower of Dead Souls refreshed each time, and the climbing conditions would never be repeated.
The protagonist of this story, Lu Yichen, was the unlucky fellow who finally managed to climb to the eighteenth level but returned to the first level due to a reversal of time.
The difficulty of the first level wouldn't be very high, but many people could still die on the first level. Compared to these newcomers who had just been sucked into the Tower of Dead Souls, Lu Yichen, who had been thrown back from the eighteenth level, was obviously more stable and mature than those guys, and could even quickly find the way to climb the tower through his own judgment.
This was a typical case of a max-level player returning to the novice village.
The setting of the Tower of Dead Souls was adapted from the eighteen levels of hell. Each level corresponded to one of the eighteen levels of hell.
For example, Bai Jin remembered that the first level Lu Yichen returned to this time was Guang Jiu Ju – Tongue Pulling. Although each level refreshed, based on the detailed description of the protagonist returning to the first level again at the beginning of the book, Bai Jin remembered that their trial this time was like this: the Chief Judge would impose punishments based on their observations.
This punishment was tongue pulling – forcibly pulling out the tongue of the living.
They were currently in the state of dead souls. This alone wouldn't kill them, and this level would even restore their bodies to their original state again, to continue the judgment once more.
Bai Jin also knew that he was now playing the silent, decisive, terrifying, and dignified Chief Judge.
The outside couldn't be seen from inside this glass. The Chief Judge stood here to scrutinize them. When Bai Jin first read this dungeon, the author didn't accurately point out the Chief Judge's judgment criteria.
The Chief Judge seemed to pull out tongues arbitrarily, without any standard. Anyway, for the people inside, escaping punishment was their ultimate goal, so in the end, Lu Yichen's idea was to kill the Chief Judge who carried out the judgment – in any case, the role Bai Jin was playing would still die miserably in the end.
Seeing this glass door open, Bai Jin knew it was his time to act.
Compared to other roles, the Chief Judge's role almost didn't require Bai Jin to speak. This was the point that satisfied Bai Jin the most.
Bai Jin walked in wearing his military boots, followed by his attendants. As Bai Jin entered the scene, his appearance was clearly seen by everyone.
All the dead souls in this empty prison looked at the Chief Judge who had walked in at the same time. Everyone looked at Bai Jin with stunned and amazed gazes. At this moment, Bai Jin saw the text floating past his eyes.
Bai Jin forgot one thing.
This novel included the most popular live-streaming element of the moment. Those watching the live stream were the dead souls who had already climbed the tower and hadn't yet reached their own climbing time.
["Even though they had climbed before, they were not currently in the process of climbing again. There was a waiting period or a specific schedule for when each dead soul got their chance to climb.]
As long as it wasn't their climbing time, they were all idle, so they spontaneously created live-streaming rooms.
They boldly and rashly pasted the bullet comments directly onto their faces, floating in the air for everyone to see.
Now, when those dead souls saw the Chief Judge who appeared after the first level refreshed, their originally mocking tone instantly reversed.
【Holy crap, holy crap, what is this?! I'm just asking, what is this?!】
【Why didn't I have this when I was climbing the tower back then!】
【Mommy, why didn't I have such a beauty!】
【I'll lick, I'll lick, I'll lick.】
【Who spawned such a beauty? Why didn't I get one? I'm crying, I'm really crying.】
Seeing that the content of the bullet comments had all changed, Bai Jin was a little worried. He took the time to ask the System.
"Is this okay?"
The System was silent for a moment and then said, "It should be fine. After all, as long as you exit the scene, they won't remember you. The subsequent plot will only develop according to the original storyline."
Bai Jin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good then."
Bai Jin continued to walk in with the military baton. The attendants who followed him in all dispersed from behind Bai Jin. This time, there were only ten people on this level of the tower, and Bai Jin's attendants suppressed all of them, forcing them to kneel on the ground.
Most of them were confused, but they seemed to realize that Bai Jin was not to be trifled with. Being smart, they wouldn't act like idiots and start yelling.
Bai Jin walked around in front of them with the military baton, his cold gaze falling on each person's face.
【Prprprprpr】
【What is this, what is this!】
【Chirp chirp boom, being a hero in a fairy tale～】
【Chief Judge, please use your military baton to whip me!】
【Can anyone tell me how to get to the first level now, ahhhhh.】
【Guang Jiu Ju, open the door, I'm already outside the tower.】
【Entrance method to the tower, small fee.】
【Begging, begging, begging, begging.】
【Beware of scams, friendly reminder: You cannot return to cleared tower levels.】
Bai Jin merely glanced at the bullet comments and found their style truly peculiar. To avoid affecting his performance, Bai Jin tried his best not to look at them. He focused his gaze on the face of the first person on the left of the group.
The Chief Judge's attendant pinched the person's jawbone, forcing their mouth open. Although Bai Jin himself didn't know the Chief Judge's judgment criteria, fortunately, he remembered the plot, and the System would also give him prompts. Bai Jin knew that this first person needed his nod.
So, his attendant understood the Chief Judge's meaning and directly reached into the person's mouth, using an extremely skilled method to pull out the person's tongue. The person let out a shrill scream, and blood filled their mouth. Everyone else there was so frightened that their faces turned pale. Someone loudly asked.
"Why do this!"
Bai Jin turned his eyes, his cold gaze falling on that panicked face. He spoke the Chief Judge's line, "Those who make mistakes must be punished."
【My nose is bleeding, sorry, let me wipe it.】
【My wife, my only wife, sob sob.】
【Open the door, Guang Jiu Ju, open the door, I know you're home.】
【This look really turned me on, hehehe.】
Some improper bullet comments, as if intentionally so, frantically floated before Bai Jin's eyes. Bai Jin continued to treat himself as a non-player character who couldn't see the comments, coldly walking towards the next person.
The next person knelt before Bai Jin. Before the attendant could clamp his jaw, he first showed Bai Jin a bitter yet ingratiating smile. The attendant grabbed his chin, forcing him to open his mouth. He shivered with fear, refusing to open his mouth no matter what.
Bai Jin used the military baton to press against his teeth, continuing to force him to open his mouth. In the original work, this person was disobedient, and the Chief Judge shattered his teeth.
Bai Jin was pondering whether or not he should really break his teeth. After all, he really couldn't do such a bloody thing – the tongue pulling was done by the attendants, and he didn't need to watch. Otherwise, Bai Jin really wouldn't dare to watch or do it at all.
But now, did he really have to break his teeth?
Bai Jin's movements paused slightly as he considered this. Perhaps this made the other person think that Bai Jin was treating him specially. He suddenly stuck out his tongue and licked the military baton in Bai Jin's hand. The gaze he directed at Bai Jin was extremely seductive and alluring.
Did he think he had gained the Chief Judge's favor, so he wanted to use seduction to avoid disaster?
This development outside the plot stunned Bai Jin.
The System said, "N-nothing –" It paused, seeming not very sure, "It must be nothing, let's move on to the next one."
At this moment, the bullet comments that had been deliberately floating in front of Bai Jin's eyes all exploded again.
【Ahhh, doesn't he take a piss and look in the mirror!】
【Hasn't the demolition team blown up the door of Guang Jiu Ju yet?】
