God's Imitator

Three days later.

In the hall of Community 2, a broadcast notification appeared announcing the start of a new game.

[Good morning, players!]

[The Walkway will open in 5 minutes.]

[The name of this game is "Trust Marketplace," and the game type is "Elimination."]

[The sinner player in this community who is required to participate is: Wen Wan.]

[You can designate three players from this community to become the audience, join the game, and provide assistance.]

[The first designee will become the "Audience Representative." Please choose a player whom you "absolutely trust."]

[The following two designees will become "Ordinary Audience." Choose players whom you "relatively trust and have certain abilities."]

[In this game, the audience does not face the risk of death.]

[If selection is not completed before the game starts, players will be randomly drawn within the community.]

[Please select your audience quickly and prepare yourselves.]

Upon hearing the new broadcast, everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.

"Elimination type game!"

Lu Bingjun furrowed his brow: "It finally arrived, huh..."

In fact, many players had already anticipated this before the game.

Up to now in the second stage, the game types have been: selection, judgment, distribution, and role-playing. In terms of types, it was indeed time for an elimination game.

Elimination type games, as a category with extremely high mortality rates, aimed primarily at eliminating players, appeared in the first stage already.

After entering the second stage, the intensity of the game further increased, so it was inevitable that this type of game would reappear.

No one anticipated the appearance of this type, but since it’s here, it can only be accepted.

Wen Wan’s face turned ashen, as though pierced by a sharp blade, frozen in her seat, unable to accept such reality.

Zhou Wanlin hurriedly held her shoulder, shaking her a couple of times: "Wake up! You need to immediately choose three audience members now! Otherwise, it’s random selection!"

Wen Wan barely regained her composure, her gaze sweeping over the crowd in the hall.

Huang Shengjie couldn’t help but feel a heartfelt sympathy, deeply empathizing with Wen Wan’s state.

In introspection, if he suddenly found that the game called out to him, particularly a dangerous elimination game, it’s quite likely he would react similarly.

It was akin to Death directly greeting oneself.

However, after calming down, Huang Shengjie was also curious about how Wen Wan would choose these three players.

The game invitation already clearly stated, the "Audience Representative" should ideally be a player you "absolutely trust," while the "Ordinary Audience" should be players you "relatively trust and have certain abilities."

Such invitations are generally considered truthful, without particularly obvious false information, which counts as part of the underlying rules of the Walkway.

Huang Shengjie pondered, if he were Wen Wan, he might choose like this:

Audience Representative, choose Zhou Wanlin.

Because, judging from previous performances within the community, Wen Wan and Zhou Wanlin were considered close, with a fairly intimate relationship.

The first time Wen Wan experienced pain in the community, she sought comfort from Zhou Wanlin.

As for the Ordinary Audience, Huang Shengjie thought it’s most likely Lin Sizhi or Lu Bingjun.

The reason for choosing Lin Sizhi is obvious, his strength currently ranks as the strongest in the community. With such a player as the audience, it brings a bit of reassurance.

Among the two factions currently existing within the community, Wen Wan likely leans more towards Lu Bingjun.

Though it hasn’t been particularly obvious, looking at the reaction from Deng Xiao’s death in "One Word Breaks the Prison," and daily community discussions, when choosing between Lu Bingjun and Ye Lin, Wen Wan should choose Lu Bingjun.

So, Huang Shengjie instinctively guessed: Zhou Wanlin, Lin Sizhi, Lu Bingjun.

Although using two game core members from the community simultaneously seems somewhat extravagant and wasteful, given the highly dangerous nature of the elimination game, everyone should understand.

minutes is a short time, forcing Wen Wan to make a quick decision.

"I choose...

"Lu Qi, Ye Lin, and Huang Shengjie."

Upon hearing his name, Huang Shengjie was visibly stunned.

"Huh? Me?"

Lu Qi was even more surprised, pointing at herself, momentarily forgetting to ask.

Ye Lin was also slightly surprised, furrowing her brow, she asked: "If you’re sure about letting me in, I’ll certainly do my best to help.

"But perhaps you should think it over more; are you really choosing the three of us? There might be better choices.

"Honestly... I don’t think I am the strongest among the three game cores."

Wen Wan seems to have recovered from the initial shock; her face still carried obvious fear, but she nodded determinedly.

"Yes, it’s you three, I’ve thought it through.

"Lu Qi, no matter what, you are the person I trust most in the community, likewise, I believe you trust me the most too, right?"

Lu Qi was caught off guard by these words and felt a bit confused: "Perhaps... right? But how to ascertain such things, I’m not sure..."

Wen Wan interrupted her: "It’s okay, your reaction confirms everything, I believe in you.

"Once in the game, just trust me unconditionally.

"Can you do that? I believe you can."

Lu Qi still felt confused but instinctively nodded: "Yes, I can."

Wen Wan then looked at Huang Shengjie and Ye Lin: "Time is limited, I don’t have the luxury of explaining more, everything is entrusted to you, okay?

"Regardless of how the game turns out, I’ll take responsibility for my choice.

"Especially Shengjie, I trust you, trust you very much."

Wen Wan grasped Huang Shengjie’s hands, tears shimmering in her eyes.

Huang Shengjie was momentarily at a loss but could only say: "I... I will certainly do my best!"

Other players might not entirely agree with Wen Wan’s decision, even feeling puzzled by such a choice.

However, Wen Wan’s attitude was very clear, that’s her well-considered choice, firmly decided.

So, further persuasion seemed inappropriate.

Lu Bingjun offered comfort: "Everyone, just do your best.

"Our community still has an Immunity Coupon, should there be any life-threatening danger, it will be used without hesitation. You can rest assured."

No time was left for further discussion as the 5-minute countdown on the big screen ended.

Wen Wan, Lu Qi, Ye Lin, and Huang Shengjie disappeared from the hall.

The others sat down with some anxiety, waiting for the detailed rules of this game to be updated on the big screen.
