God's Imitator

Qin Cheng nodded, "In short, due to the constraints of the mechanism and Gao Teng’s inducement, Wei Changfeng realized that ’self-defilement’ was the optimal solution to win the game.

"The three of them had cooperated many times in the game, so they quickly understood each other’s intentions and jointly wove this scene of a ’melodramatic plot’, continuously providing ammunition for repentance.

"It was indeed embarrassing, but for Wei Changfeng, the cost was acceptable.

"Firstly, Wei Changfeng did regard Gao Teng as his own younger brother; he couldn’t abandon Gao Teng and survive alone;

"Secondly, Wei Changfeng believed he saw the hidden mechanism of the game and the Sure-win Method, underestimating the crimes of Zheng Qingyun that could be exploited and misjudging his own chances of winning;

"Finally, and most importantly, this kind of ’self-defilement’ was not irretrievable, as long as the three could safely return to the community. During the review, Wei Changfeng could explain this hidden mechanism, clarify misunderstandings, and eliminate impacts as much as possible.

"Perhaps his reputation would still be somewhat damaged, but not too severely. Wei Changfeng felt that as long as he could save Gao Teng, it wouldn’t matter if he lost face.

"But what he didn’t expect was that this was also Gao Teng’s trap."

Qin Cheng paused for a moment, then continued:

"Since both sides had ample ’crime ammunition’ and had mastered the mechanism of influencing card points by controlling crimes, the game became extremely brutal.

"Logically, Wei Changfeng’s side had the advantage, but the key problem was that Gao Teng was an insider.

"As a participant, he could ’control the situation’.

"Since each side had only one person drawing cards, when Zheng Qingyun’s side was at a disadvantage, Gao Teng could deliberately manipulate the card points, allowing his side to lose.

"Thereby achieving ’blood control’, making all players infinitely close to the final ’kill line’."

Ye Lin’s expression was also full of shock. In this game, for various reasons, she couldn’t speak, but now her biggest confusion was answered, and inevitably, she couldn’t control her expression.

She had always believed that no imitator could predict everything, especially the repentance content and points in the game.

But now she realized she was terribly wrong.

Ultimately it was because of a fatal blind spot: she had never considered Gao Teng as the imitator who designed this game or thought about the possibility of Gao Teng manipulating the game process.

So she missed the truth by a mile.

Qin Cheng’s expression became even more serious, "So by the 29th round of the game, the most malicious situation appeared.

"Gao Teng, by controlling the blood, put all three of his side into a desperate situation where ’one punishment would result in death’.

"Logically, at this point, he could still choose to commit suicide, seeking hope of survival for Wei Changfeng and Xu Yili.

"But he certainly wouldn’t do that.

"He drew two cards, one to kill himself and the other to kill Wei Changfeng.

"It was only at this moment that Wei Changfeng and Xu Yili belatedly realized the truth.

"In the eyes of Wei Changfeng and Xu Yili, everything they said was false, and Gao Teng himself knew these words were false; everyone was just acting.

"But at this moment, Gao Teng suddenly turned the fake into reality, killing Wei Changfeng, and forever depriving him of the chance to clarify and defend himself.

"Perhaps at that moment, Wei Changfeng understood everything, but it was already too late.

"As for Xu Yili, who witnessed all this, I can hardly imagine what her state of mind would be like at that time.

"But overall... she should have been completely desperate, right.

"She and Wei Changfeng staked their lives to save Gao Teng, only to discover at the last moment that the entire setup was done by Gao Teng, and that Gao Teng went through all this trouble just to make these two absolutely kind people die burdened with disgrace and revilement.

"Therefore, Xu Yili’s complete loss of the will to survive was an inevitable result; everything about her, including body and soul, was utterly destroyed by Gao Teng’s unfathomable malice.

"But to ignorant observers, Gao Teng’s sudden killing of Wei Changfeng at the end was apparently justifiable.

"He completed the final step, letting Wei Changfeng die with a stain forever, and these stains were precisely what Wei Changfeng took on to save him."

Huang Shengjie, overwhelmed with shock, asked, "Wait, Xu Yili wasn’t dead at this point, right? Even though her heart was already dead.

"But what if she survived? What if she returned to the community and told everyone about these things?"

Qin Cheng slightly shook his head, "This possibility can’t be said to be completely non-existent, but it’s very low.

"Firstly, Gao Teng consecutively drew two cards, and he couldn’t absolutely control the card points.

"Maybe he could roughly confirm that one of the cards would be locked as an Ace due to the sufficient weight of the crime, but for the specific points of the other card, he probably couldn’t be sure.

"There is also another possibility that he drew two cards, just hit a bust, or the points fell short of the opponent’s.

"In that case, Xu Yili would also die together, with no survivors.

"And during our review, people would just think that Gao Teng was making a final gamble, exchanging his life for Xu Yili’s, but he failed without generating any further suspicion.

"Secondly, even if such a situation occurred in the game where Gao Teng won the game, Xu Yili’s survival probability would still be minimal.

"Xu Yili’s spirit had completely collapsed, with no will to live left.

"Moreover, even with a slim chance of actually returning to the community, she might not survive.

"In this game, I happened to encounter players from Community 6, I asked during the inquiry phase what happened to Ma Boheng.

"The answer was... Ma Boheng had long since died.

"After ’Repentance Poker’ ended, he returned to the community, and since there were no doctors in Community 6 at that time, they couldn’t properly treat Ma Boheng’s wounds, so he died from excessive blood loss and infection.

"There are no rules in this game that ’heal you upon leaving the game’, so even returning to the community alive would leave one with deep wounds all over and significant blood loss.

"There are first aid kits in the community, but without professional doctors, it’s hard to get proper bandaging and care.

"Just at that time, both Community 2 and Community 6 had no doctors, and Xu Yili had no will to live either.

"Therefore, even if Xu Yili could or did return to the community, she would likely fall into a coma due to emotional turmoil and excessive blood loss, and then die.

"The result would still be the same.

"This is the double insurance Gao Teng set up.

"It’s impossible for the schemer to predict everything, but as long as the probability of success is relatively high, it’s worth a try."

Lu Qi’s face turned pale, obviously unable to accept such a reality, but couldn’t think of any angle to refute it.

"But why would Gao Teng do this?

"He went to great lengths, with meticulous planning, even risking his own life, just to take revenge on the two most important benefactors?"

Qin Cheng nodded, "Yes, I believe Gao Teng is that kind of person.

"What he exhibits is the most extreme evil of human nature."
