With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

World Introduction: With the arrival of the first Christmas apocalypse, humanity suffered a devastating blow, resulting in a condition called "steel skin syndrome," which causes crystallization of the human body! Love, friendship, betrayal, slaughter... a vortex of history unfolds around Adam and Eve, with various colors gradually emerging!

Yang Li gently rubbed her forehead, sorting through the subtitles in front of her and the images that had suddenly appeared in her mind. They were fragments of memories, the identity that 'Abyss Paradise' had prepared for her as the judge.

As an experimental subject of the Apocalypse Virus, Yang Li's body underwent a peculiar mutation in her memory, growing a tough and sharp special tailbone (Scales).

She was imprisoned here because she went berserk and lost control; that 2-meter-thick metal wall was prepared for her. Even that metal door with its unusually amazing material was specially prepared for her.

Yang Li increasingly understood how absurd the privileges and authority of the judges were; they could arrange such a status for her, since this status could help her join the Funeral Service, and GHQ was no problem either.

Originally a GHQ test subject, isn't it normal for him to be released to fight at a crucial moment? Because he went berserk during the experiment and was eventually imprisoned, he developed resentment towards GHQ. Couldn't he join the Funeral Parlor to take revenge on GHQ?

The experiment was codenamed 'Shadow Demon'. In GHQ's view, Yang Li was an experimental subject whose memories had been erased, and her original name was changed to 'Shadow Demon'.

This is not bad either. After all, there aren't many people in 'Abyss Paradise' who use their real names. Using a real name can easily lead to retaliation in the real world. GHQ has given Yang Li a nickname, which he can use for now.

Yang Li wasn't afraid of retaliation, but she didn't want to implicate the elderly couple who rented the house to her, nor did she want to die alone before completing that task.

Glancing at the black, tight-fitting leather outfit on his body, Yang Li realized that Kaneki Ken's choice suited his taste quite well, and the mask also looked rather intimidating. However, to avoid being recognized too early, Yang Li had already tossed the mask into his 'savings backpack,' since it didn't provide any attribute bonuses anyway.

[The risk of infection is within the judge's acceptable range; 'trial order' issued!]

The appearance of the dark blue subtitles brought a 'pleasant' expression to Yang Li's face, a slight smile playing on her lips. This was her first time receiving a 'judgment order,' and she didn't know what benefits she would gain. She could only offer a moment of silence for that unfortunate fellow wanted by 'Abyss Paradise.'

Yang Li tapped the sickle pattern on the back of his left hand, selected 'Judgment Command', and began to examine the target's information.

[Trial order!]

Target: Violator No. 1998751.

Number of people involved: 1.

Time limit: Before leaving this world.

Completion Rewards: 4 Free Attribute Points, 2 Small Source Crystals

Penalty for failure: None (due to the special nature of this objective, there is no penalty for failure)

Hint: Violator number 1998751 is extremely skilled at concealing himself and is adept at long-range sniping!

"...A sniper rifle? As long as it's not a headshot, it should be fine."

Yang Li was extremely confident in Kaneki's regenerative abilities. Except for his head being cut off, he could recover quickly in other areas, but he needed to eat something rather unpleasant... Yang Li was very wary of this kind of recovery method, but if there was really no other way, eating it once wouldn't hurt.

Yang Li casually clicked on the 'World Quests' option and began to examine the rewards and penalties of the two main quests, considering how to choose. The rewards from the quests during the last trial were rather absurd, but there was nothing she could do about it; after all, she was only a temporary judge back then…

Main Quest (1): Join GHQ or a funeral parlor to unlock the next quest (first stage).

Task Difficulty: LV.3

Mission Brief: Join either of the two main story factions, GHQ Multinational Force or Funeral Parlor.

Mission Objectives: Gain basic trust, activate faction combat mode, and unlock the faction contribution value shop.

Time limit: three days.

Task reward: 2000 trading points.

Failure penalty: 20% deduction of all current attributes of the contractor! Forced repatriation to 'Abyss Paradise'!

……

Main Quest (II): Seize the Void Genome; possess at least one copy of the Void Genome (one-step process only)

Task Difficulty: LV.11

Mission Brief: Seize the item containing the power of the king.

Mission objective: Obtain and possess at least one Void Genome by any means.

Time Limit: Return to 'Abyss Paradise'

Task Rewards: 3 Attribute Points, 3 Small Source Crystals, 10000 Trade Points, 1 Excellent Treasure Chest

Failure penalty: 5000 trading points will be deducted; if insufficient, equipment will be forfeited! Insufficient equipment will result in 'forced execution'!

After reading the descriptions of the two missions, Yang Li felt a chill run down his spine. 'Abyss Paradise' was truly ruthless! With 20% of attributes deducted while the level remained unchanged, this severely weakened contractor was basically facing a slow death.

The second main quest feels like a reward quest; even if you don't complete it, it's not a big deal—you'll just lose some trading points. But the key question is: how many people will have more than 5000 trading points before entering the new 'dimensional world'?

Purchasing various items and recovery supplies is the choice of most contractors in order to survive better, and Yang Li is no exception. But this time it just felt like it was deliberately designed to disgust people.

And the four characters 'Forced Execution', which are different from the dark blue font elsewhere, are blood red, as if warning every contractor that 'Abyss Paradise' is no joke.

Coldness, ruthlessness, rules... Yang Li saw a lot in that instant, but the most important thing now was which faction to join and how to join it. Completing the mission was the most important thing; everything else could wait.

Thank you to [赵o家o四九] for the two monthly tickets and a spicy snack! Thank you for your continued support!!

Section 45, Chapter Forty-Five: A Powerful Figure Protects His Release from Prison

Chapter 45: A Powerful Figure Protects His Release from Prison

The three-minute protective barrier vanished in an instant, and four thick, scarlet kagune surged out from the gap in the tight leather suit, looking ferocious and terrifying. The seemingly impenetrable metal door was brutally pierced by the four kagune, twisted into a ball, and thrown aside.

The khatstone contracted slightly as Yang Li stepped out of the sealed cell, the entire process taking less than 3 seconds. This myth, which GHQ believed no one could escape, was shattered today.

Stepping out of her small room, Yang Li felt no attachment to it. After all, who could stand having a toilet and a bed in the same room? Although it looked quite tidy, she decided to leave it at that and let whoever wanted to live there live there; she refused to use it.

All that could be seen were cramped cells, because these cells held serious criminals and powerful monsters. To prevent them from escaping together, the cells were soundproofed.

Yang Li's abrupt burst through the door did not elicit a reaction from the others, but one person who appeared there for some unknown reason stood frozen in place, with four armed soldiers behind him.

"Ah ah!!!"

This sudden turn of events startled the leading official, who screamed and immediately turned to flee. The remaining four soldiers immediately raised their weapons, aiming them at Yang Li's head.

With her eyes slightly narrowed, Yang Li's agility attribute of 16 points allowed her to disappear from her spot as if by teleportation, but this was only because her opponents' dynamic vision couldn't keep up with her speed. The next moment, four kagune descended from the sky, piercing through the chests of four soldiers without any obstruction.

These soldiers were all wearing special protective suits, yet they couldn't even withstand the thrusts of the Rinka. This surprised Yang Li slightly; perhaps she had underestimated the power of the Rinka.

After glancing at the man who appeared to be an official, who had already run dozens of meters away, Yang Li pushed off the ground and grabbed the man's head a few seconds later.

The opponent was unexpectedly weak, unable to dodge even the most ordinary attack, and was directly pinned to the ground, his face smudged into the floor. Yang Li used two kagune to pierce the floor next to the opponent's head, and then a calm and indifferent voice came from her mouth.

"Introduce yourself, and be honest, or I can't guarantee you'll survive."

The low-pitched threat was clearly effective; the man, whose mental fortitude was weak, instantly burst into tears and snot, sobbing uncontrollably. After a moment of silence, Yang Li moved the man's head away; his mouth was still closed from the close contact with the floor.

“I am one of the lowest-ranking prison officers in GHQ. I wasn’t there the day you were arrested, so you don’t recognize me. This time, a big shot above you is protecting you, so I’ve been sent to release you. This is the release order.”

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Yang Li had chosen to escape from prison because she felt it was unlikely she would be released. She initially believed her current identity was a favor bestowed upon her by 'Abyss Paradise,' but during her memory search, she discovered something rather ominous.

In the memory fragments granted by 'Abyss Paradise', a berserk event occurred during a previous void modification experiment, resulting in the deaths of many experimenters. Several high-ranking officials were also visiting nearby at the time and were caught in the crossfire and killed.

Among them are even two major generals, a very high position in GHQ. Under such circumstances, Yang Li was thinking of giving up joining the GHQ camp, but now it seems that his luck has turned around?

To be able to get out after taking down two major generals, the level of that important person must be unimaginable. Could it be that 'Abyss Paradise' is manipulating all of this behind the scenes?

With this question in mind, Yang Li snatched the communicator from the guy lying on the ground and looked at the release order on it.

"It's quite possible that the general made the decision to release him... If it were a GHQ officer of general rank, he could indeed act arbitrarily."

The decision to unleash a monster of Yang Li's caliber was, in itself, a reckless act, and it must be said, that this general certainly possessed great courage. Perhaps the other side felt confident in controlling her? Or perhaps they believed she would obey orders?

Whether he listens or not is one thing, whether he does or not is another; Yang Li isn't a real GHQ soldier. However, this is an opportunity to join the GHQ camp. Compared to the Funeral Parlor, whose leader might abandon the organization at any time, GHQ is more reliable.

Releasing the official from the ground, Yang Li retracted his khatvangue and gestured for the official to lead the way. Activating his own faction identity first was better; everything else could wait until after meeting the general.

Concealing his crimson eyes, Yang Li followed the manager, strolling through the GHQ headquarters building as if taking a walk. Soon, Yang Li arrived at the top floor of GHQ.

The lowest-ranking prison warden knocked on the door and then retreated, his speed indicating he was genuinely afraid of Yang Li. After all, he was that monstrous one-eyed ghoul, and the fact that this world could understand and accept him was thanks to the power of 'Abyss Paradise'.

"Come in."

The authoritative and dignified voice indicated that the speaker was someone who had held a high position for many years. Despite realizing this, Yang Li remained calm, because these high-ranking officials were the people she feared least; she often enjoyed assassinating them.

Pushing open the door, one finds a rather unassuming office. Perhaps there are some valuable items there, but they are so understated that they are not easily noticeable. However, Yang Li is not interested in that.

Yang Li looked at the middle-aged man behind the desk not far away, wondering what would happen if she made a lightning strike now and twisted his head off. Feeling the strong sense of being locked on, she was sure that there were at least two snipers locked onto this place.

Besides being related to mana and spell power, the mental attribute is also closely related to perception. Previously, the increase from 9 to 10 wouldn't have been perceptible, but now, even without the bonus from activating the Eye of the Dead, Yang Li's mental attribute is already 20 points!

The change in mental attributes from 10 to 20 points is significant; it at least allows Yang Li to clearly sense a sniper's surveillance and lock-on. Following his memory, Yang Li gave a military salute and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Good morning, sir. I want to return to GHQ, do what I can, and make up for the mistakes I made before."

"Your awareness is quite good. I also had the decision to transfer you out of the lab, after all, your strength is evident to all... Recently, a heinous organization has been rampant in the Roppongi area, and the local enforcement forces have no good way to deal with them, so I plan to transfer you there."

Yang Li was a little confused by the fact that he was involved in the plot right from the start. Was this supreme commander really not a spy transferred from 'Abyss Paradise'? However, the situation was obviously okay, and the faction was probably confirmed now.

"Go to the Executive Department to collect your inauguration documents. As a separate operational unit, the Roppongi situation is now in your hands."

The moment the words were spoken, 'Abyss Paradise' reacted immediately.

The Judge has completed the first stage of the main quest (Part 1), and the rewards have been distributed. Subsequent quests will begin when the quest time limit expires!

Thank you to [[Hiruko Kageyu]] for the monthly ticket.

Thank you to [Zhao ojia osijiu] for the spicy strips!

Thank you for your support!

Section 46 Chapter Forty-Six: The Most Suitable Food

Chapter 46: The Most Suitable Food

Standing under the traffic lights at an intersection, gazing at this bustling metropolis that far exceeded his comprehension, Yang Li, wearing a hoodie, remained silent. The city's level of advancement far surpassed the world Yang Li had lived in for over a decade; cities like Beijing and Shanghai paled in comparison.

He turned on the advanced device in his hand; it was no different from a mobile phone, only much more sophisticated. Opening the electronic map, Yang Li began to wander around Tokyo.

Most contractors are probably struggling with which faction to join right now, while those with a goal are starting to work towards it. However, none of this really concerns Yang Li. The advantages of joining a faction early are gradually becoming apparent, and being able to control the terrain before the battle begins is a significant advantage.

Ancient battles emphasized timing, location, and human factors, which are still important today. For example, in Fate/stay night, the old gatekeeper used his high position to suppress the Saber-class character with high stats.

The 'Mokan-chopped' sword itself is a very long dachi, more than twice the length of a curry stick, making the height difference extremely noticeable. Combined with the difference in skill, this allowed the old gatekeeper to block the ahoge (cowlick) relatively easily.

Therefore, it is still very necessary to understand the terrain of future battles, unless time is really tight, in which case you can just take a walk.
