God's Imitator

For Wang Weidong to execute this plan, Xu Zhao and Jiang Chenyan were indeed the best choices, but they weren’t necessary choices.

If Wang Weidong had noticed other players from Community 15 first, he might have directly selected them as executors of this plan.

The reason he ultimately still chose Xu Zhao and Jiang Chenyan was because these two stood out earlier in the initial games.

Because Lin Sizhi was ’↑Wheel of Fortune’ and was the first to propose the ’Number Bomb’ rules in the game, he naturally attracted attention, and ’↓Wheel of Fortune’ having the same mask would also make people subconsciously think he was a relatively strong player.

Not only that, when Xu Zhao played ’↓Wheel of Fortune,’ he also said some mystical things about ’fate.’ For example, he hinted that he and ’↑Wheel of Fortune’ were the same person, were split selves, or he used secrets from other communities to create the illusion that he ’could see through fate.’

Even before the match with Shen Xing, Xu Zhao playing ’↓Wheel of Fortune’ had already shown similar behavior, and at that time, Wang Weidong and Han Mengying hadn’t completely established their cooperative relationship yet, nor had they obtained enough confidential information from Han Mengying’s side.

Wang Weidong was pleasantly surprised by this and subconsciously thought that perhaps Xu Zhao just happened to be well-suited to this game, so he had a better performance than usual.

He took this opportunity to arrange for Xu Zhao to execute specific deceptions.

But looking at it now, this wasn’t normal.

Xu Zhao’s excellent performance was deliberately crafted by Lin Sizhi.Lin Sizhi might have revealed some information to him, or he hadn’t revealed any information at all and just had others cooperate with him in acting.

The situation with ’↑The High Priestess’ Jiang Chenyan was somewhat similar, though Lin Sizhi couldn’t match with him. Jiang Chenyan was able to stand out because of his own strength and gaming style.

But after Jiang Chenyan matched with Xu Zhao, Xu Zhao immediately reached an agreement with him and perfected the plan.

It was precisely because these two people displayed these characteristics in the early stages of the game that Wang Weidong confirmed their identities earlier and subconsciously believed they were the best executors of this plan, which completely eliminated those uncertain possibilities.

As for why Xu Zhao chose the ’Wheel of Fortune’ mask, and why Lin Sizhi knew so much about Community 15’s situation?

The answer was already obvious: they had already completed the exchange of this information before this game. With a little calculation, one would know that ’Self-Selected Game’ was the only possibility.

...

There wasn’t much time left in the match.

Wang Weidong let out a long breath, ”Thank you. Your answers have resolved most of my doubts.

”However, before the game truly ends, variables might still occur.

”So if I were you, I wouldn’t explain these things.

”Have you considered what if I don’t die from the community’s vote and actually survive?

”After returning to the community, I would spare no cost to kill those two and completely take control of the community.”

Lin Sizhi spread his hands, ”It doesn’t matter to me.

”If he can’t even handle this little matter properly, whatever ending he encounters would be normal.

”Moreover, if you really do survive, even if I don’t say these things, you’ll figure them out sooner or later anyway.”

Wang Weidong was silent for a moment, ”So, you think that even if I kill those two and completely take control of the community, I still wouldn’t pose any threat to you, so it doesn’t matter.

”You’re much more arrogant than I am.”

Lin Sizhi didn’t refute, ”If you think it’s arrogance, then so be it.

”But to me, it really doesn’t matter.

”The game is about to end. Let’s guess a number.”

Wang Weidong looked at the 22 wooden boxes on the table and asked, ”Any hints? What you want to play with me shouldn’t be the game’s original strategy.”

Lin Sizhi nodded, ”I want you to guess who the strongest player in our community is, besides me.

”You just need to point out the box corresponding to the mask. I placed the only 100-denomination Wealth Voucher in that box.”

Wang Weidong frowned, his gaze quickly locking onto two different wooden boxes.

’The Hermit’ and ’The Emperor.’

The answer must be in one of these two boxes. The only question was which specific one.

After careful consideration, Wang Weidong ultimately opened ’The Emperor’s’ wooden box, but when he picked up the topmost Wealth Voucher and looked at it, he found it was 1000 denomination.

This result surprised him somewhat.

”Unfortunately, you guessed wrong.

”You clearly faced him in ’Simple Q&A,’ yet you still don’t think he’s strong?” Lin Sizhi looked at ’The Hermit’s’ wooden box.

Wang Weidong pondered for a moment, ”I did face him in ’Simple Q&A,’ but...

”I think that game might have been a special case. After all, everyone has their own areas of expertise and knowledge structures.

”Winning once in one’s area of expertise doesn’t represent true level.”

Lin Sizhi asked with interest, ”But, if someone is clearly very strong, yet always makes you think he isn’t strong, doesn’t that count as part of his ability?”

Wang Weidong was stunned instantly.

Lin Sizhi stood up, ”Actually, what he did in this game was more than what you saw.”

...

The final match had ended.

All players had already returned to their rest rooms. Many people were extremely anxious because no one knew what the final result of this game would be.

Although they could still see the win counts for the ’Upright’ and ’Reversed’ camps, almost all players already knew this data had no meaning.

What was truly important was the personal wealth values of players and each community, and this data had never been displayed in the game from start to finish.

Only players like He Xiaojun who had ’full community protection’ could ensure they were definitely safe.

Other players found it difficult to determine what their fate would ultimately be.

With a ”bang,” the ’Spectator’s Door’ opened.

But this time it didn’t connect to the previous spectator room, but rather to a more spacious venue.

He Xiaojun looked around and discovered that in this spacious venue, there were 44 different doors. Players still wearing different masks walked out from behind the doors.

In the center of the venue, the ground was clearly divided into four areas, with huge letters marking them as ’A, B, C, D.’

These four areas had clear boundary lines, but aside from the letters, there were no other identifiers.

This should be the ’Exit Areas’ mentioned in the game rules.

However, these Exit Areas should still be in an inactive state, because the rules stated that only after applying the corresponding instant death punishment to Core Communities would the ’Exit Areas’ be activated.

On the large screen, corresponding broadcast information appeared.

[Now, the final results of the ’Tarot Game’ will be announced.]

[The four Core Communities’ wealth values ranked from high to low are:]

[Community 17, Community 3, Community 15, Community 4.]

[All players from Community 4 in the game will suffer instant death punishment.]
