God's Imitator

Qin Cheng seems to have made up his mind: "I am willing to be the accuser.

"Currently, there are 13 players in our community, excluding Uncle Zheng and me, there are 11 others. Brother Lu, your vote counts as 2, so a total of 12 votes.

"I only need 3 votes to stay safe.

"So, Brother Lu, you and Brother Yao Yuan just need to vote guilty for Uncle Zheng.

"Besides that, there should be some other players who will choose to support me, like Lu Qi, Shengjie, Shen Bowen, and so on, but I’m not sure exactly how many votes there will be. We’ll just have to see as it goes."

Lu Bingjun nodded slightly, "Hmm... In that case, it indeed ensures your safety.

"But convicting Zheng Chunhua is almost impossible; he can easily get 3 ’not guilty’ votes.

"So what’s the point of doing this?"

Qin Cheng said: "Even if it can’t pass, the accusation itself is meaningful.

"At the very least, it can have a certain deterrent effect on people like Ye Lin, making them more restrained.

"Because even if this proposal passes, the majority of players in the community don’t think it will be used, as the Imitator would still have a reckless attitude.

"But if we make an accusation once and directly target a specific group, the deterrent power of the proposal will greatly increase.

"Moreover, before the voting results come out, everything is uncertain; we can’t definitively predict the voting pattern.

"It all depends on the performance at the accusation.

"This is also the main reason I came to find you.

"Brother Lu, I can’t accuse Uncle Zheng too abruptly, it would look too forced.

"I need you to do some groundwork for me."

Lu Bingjun was a bit surprised: "Do some groundwork?

"You’re saying... let me steer discussions toward Zheng Chunhua as much as possible during game debriefing or subsequent discussions?

"Gather enough doubts first, and then you make the accusation; the effect will be better."

Qin Cheng nodded: "Right.

"Especially during the debriefing of this game, there will be a lot of content about the ’Imitator’s mindset.’ Interpreting and directing this content may prompt him to reveal more flaws.

"Besides, Brother Lu, you definitely have a lot of information from the first stage of the game.

"I don’t know this content, but the other veteran players in the community should know.

"If you can cleverly release this content as key information, it should have a better effect.

"Then I’ll tie everything together and make the accusation, surely I’ll get the most votes.

"The Judgment proposal is like a sword we wield against the Imitator, but no one truly takes it seriously now. It doesn’t have to draw blood but it must be unsheathed once to truly have the necessary deterrent effect."

Lu Bingjun pondered: "Hmm... You do have a point indeed.

"But your risk is a bit high."

Qin Cheng shook his head: "As long as it can make the community better, this risk is nothing.

"Brother Lu, you first fought for me to have the pain exemption spot, then you let me control the meds, and now promoted me as the new game core. I’ve received a lot from the community, at times like this, I should naturally stand out without hesitation."

Lu Bingjun felt quite moved.

He contemplated for a long time: "Okay, during the debriefing, I will create the most favorable environment possible for you.

"But I can only lean towards helping; I can’t directly help you say anything, considering my sensitive position."

Qin Cheng nodded: "Of course, I understand. As long as you can do what I’ve said, it’s more than enough."

The two didn’t say more, instead, they left the room separately.

...

After dinner.

Everyone gathered around the long table, ready to start the game’s debriefing.

Lu Bingjun looked at the participants of the game: "Who’s going to do the debriefing this time?

"Qin Cheng, this is your first time leading, why don’t you go ahead."

Qin Cheng nodded: "Alright, then I’ll start by talking about the game proceedings from my perspective.

"However, the game this time split into three lines overall, of which I only grasped part of the information. The other two lines are also crucial: ’Agent’ and ’Reflection Room.’

"I’m as puzzled by these parts as everyone else.

"For these two lines, I’ll ask Brother Yao Yuan and Uncle Zheng to explain later."

Quickly, Qin Cheng went through his perspective as the Spokesperson.

However, he didn’t mention the trigger for Zheng Chunhua entering the Reflection Room and only briefly glossed over it, He also spoke vaguely about Yao Yuan’s behavior backstage, not detailed.

Only mentioning he’s seen Yao Yuan frequently moving around near Community 15, Community 17, Community 18, Community 7, Community 24, establishing cooperative relationships, but not specifying the conversation details.

This is quite normal; after all, he didn’t have sonar ears on stage.

If at the edge of the stage, indeed he could directly talk to the Agent, the Spokesperson can freely speak, just without broadcast effects.

But throughout the game, Yao Yuan didn’t have any similar exchange with Qin Cheng, So reasonably speaking, Qin Cheng shouldn’t be aware of these details.

Lu Bingjun was somewhat surprised and a bit regretful.

Because in the previous private conversation with Qin Cheng, he already hinted that Qin Cheng might claim more credit for himself.

The way is actually simple: some works by Yao Yuan directly claim as his; some mechanisms thought of mid or late game, You could say he thought of them initially.

As long as he wants to give himself more credit, there are ways.

Even Lu Bingjun and Yao Yuan know this, they wouldn’t expose it, they’d coordinate with Qin Cheng.

Thus, Qin Cheng can significantly enhance his standing among other players through the debriefing.

But Qin Cheng still seems too young and sincere, in the debriefing he only modestly claimed some credit for himself, not taking it all.

Yao Yuan was listening intently to Qin Cheng’s speech, After listening, he gave it a thought, not immediately picking up the thread.

But Yao Yuan’s contemplation didn’t last long, he soon recounted his game experience as the Agent.

Mainly explaining how he locked on Communities 17, 18, 15 through observing the big screen bidding.

Nonetheless, he specifically hid some details.

Regarding the ’Reflection Room,’ Yao Yuan said he didn’t initially realize it tied to game’s hidden mechanism but around the fourth round, he noted spokespersons trying all means to enter Reflection Room, clearly there was a secret.

This inspired him, leading him to naturally consider Reflection Room’s potential mechanism, incorporating it into subsequent decisions.

"Speaking of it, thanks to Uncle Zheng entering Reflection Room early.

"If only aware of it by the fourth round or later, perhaps nothing can be done anymore, the whole plan risks collapse.

"So... Uncle Zheng, what’s the mechanism in Reflection Room? Please explain.

"So far, everyone remains unaware of the concrete situation inside Reflection Room."
