God's Imitator
Chapter 511: Diverting Attention
Li Renshu didn’t speak, but her expression was very downcast, clearly realizing the final answer to this problem.
Qin Yao thought for a moment and said, "I discussed this issue with Lawyer Lin before. In terms of personnel, those who unconditionally support Lawyer Lin are actually only me, you, and Yinzhang, these three people.
"Shen Xing and Aunt Zhou are people who just want to live their lives well, they won’t be willing to get involved in such things.
"Yang Hui and Li Jiang were both recruited by Cai Zhiyuan from the ’Tarot Game’, they will definitely stand on his side;
"Xiao Dai seems to have always been a staunch supporter of Cai Zhiyuan, which should have been confirmed from the ’Simple Q&A’?
"As for Yuting..."
Yang Yuting took the initiative to pick up the conversation: "Hmm, thinking about it now, if it were Cai Zhiyuan sitting here instead of Lawyer Lin, I would also have to follow his orders completely.
"Because...
"Whether it’s ’becoming an opposition’, or the mini-game session before the start of the ’Tarot Game’, it’s all his arrangements.
"At first, I actually didn’t realize these things very much, I just thought that these things were good for me, so I did them.
"But looking back now...
"All the political influence I’ve gained in the community so far comes from Cai Zhiyuan.
"If he really asks me to choose between him and Renshu, I ultimately have no other choice.
"In all aspects, it’s like this."
Dai Yifan added: "Including the vote on whether Sister Yuting or Brother Cai should be the core of the game before, in fact... it was also arranged by Brother Cai.
"I secretly went to canvass votes."
Wei Yinzhang sighed: "So, actually before the ’Tarot Game’, the structure of the community was already set.
"The apparent leader, the apparent opposition, the centrists, the ordinary people, were all actually controlled by Cai Zhiyuan.
"After kicking Boss Wang out in the ’Tarot Game’, the next step is only one, which is to find an opportunity to confront me directly."
Qin Yao said thoughtfully, "But after the ’Tarot Game’, Cai Zhiyuan still initiated the discussion on the ’new members of the five-member group’.
"Making us go to great lengths to choose between Yuting and Li Jiang.
"But in reality, isn’t this utterly meaningless?"
Lin Sizhi explained: "This was to divert attention, not really to discuss the political structure of the community.
"Because every previous discussion regarding community politics would affect the structure of the community, so if it’s an ordinary player with not strong political awareness, they would assume Cai Zhiyuan was still trying to influence community politics through the ’five-member group selection’.
"But this time is different.
"If one fights back in this area, or simply spends more time thinking about it, or lets their guard down, they would end up with no time to prepare for the ’Special Game’, caught off guard."
Qin Yao suddenly realized: "Oh! So that’s it!"
This time’s candidate discussion was just a misleading tactic, the result of the discussion was not important.
The reason Cai Zhiyuan made a big show of fussing over this issue was expecting a few possibilities:
The first one, Lin Sizhi realizes that community politics is already very unfavorable to him and tries to reverse the situation;
The second one, Lin Sizhi doesn’t rush around, but spends some time thinking about these problems;
The third one, Lin Sizhi neither rushes around nor thinks about it, but mistakenly believes that Cai Zhiyuan’s strategy focus is still within the community, and wouldn’t launch the ’Special Game’ so urgently.
No matter which situation it was, Lin Sizhi’s attention would be diverted, not having time to design the ’Special Game’ or properly prepare psychologically for the ’Special Game’.
Cai Zhiyuan would have achieved his purpose.
Wei Yinzhang thought for a moment: "At the gathering, you both drank a lot and didn’t show any abnormalities.
"But actually... you had already completed the design of the ’Special Game’ the first moment the previous night?
"That is, the moment you saw Walkway update this rule, your fates were already determined?"
Lin Sizhi nodded: "You could say that.
"Walkway only leaves opportunities for those who are prepared.
"In other words, if either of us was unprepared, our matchup wouldn’t have turned out like this."
Yang Hui, who had been silent, asked at this point: "But, I still don’t quite understand something.
"From the current situation, you two can be said to be the strongest players we’ve ever seen, and you’re far ahead of the other players.
"The only two S-Class Imitators, and your performances after entering the game are also equally perfect.
"If you two join forces, I can’t think of anyone who can stop you.
"You’re both from Community 17, you’ve known each other since the first day entering New World, and in many issue views, there must have been commonalities. Why do you have to fight to the death?"
Yang Hui once collaborated with Cai Zhiyuan in the ’Simple Q&A’, so she also felt very regretful over Cai Zhiyuan’s death. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Though judging from a moral standpoint, Cai Zhiyuan wasn’t an absolutely reliable partner, but in Walkway, how many players are absolutely reliable?
Many people’s moral demands for partners have been continuously lowering, after all, morals are virtual, strength is real.
Lin Sizhi looked at the big screen: "As for this...
"You can only find the answer from the ’Special Game’ we each designed for the other."
At this moment, specific information was still being displayed on the big screen.
But clearly, Lin Sizhi didn’t want to check it now.
"Retrieve the game rules of the ’Simple Roulette’ and the ’Hermit Judgment’."
...
On the big screen, the detailed rules of these two games appeared.
Li Renshu thought for a moment: "Cai Zhiyuan is the only witness of the ’Hermit Judgment’ in our community, should we purchase his game experience?"
According to common sense, it’s quite hard to reenact without a witness.
Just like the initial ’Wheel of Redemption’.
Wei Yinzhang thought for a moment: "Since Lawyer Lin won, it means he predicted all of Cai Zhiyuan’s actions. Even if we don’t buy it, there shouldn’t be any serious misjudgment."
Lin Sizhi nodded: "Let’s buy it.
"Although I can roughly guess all his actions, I can’t grasp specific details.
"Moreover, a player like him should be given enough respect when he falls."
Lin Sizhi first briefly narrated the game process he speculated, then everyone spent visa time purchasing Cai Zhiyuan’s specific game experience.
The two almost completely matched, only differing in some details.
Of course, this doesn’t mean Lin Sizhi didn’t think about other possibilities.
It’s just that with the outcome of ’Cai Zhiyuan’s death’, those possibilities vanished, allowing Lin Sizhi to confirm the only possible path.
Wei Yinzhang fell into contemplation: "So, if looking back from a God’s perspective after the fact, you did leave enough room for Cai Zhiyuan to survive in the ’Hermit Judgment’."
