Everyone fell into their own thoughts, and for a long time, no one spoke.

Soon, the time for this round of the game was about to end.

Lin Sizhi stood up, ready to return to his room.

Huang Shengjie hurriedly followed him.

"Lawyer Lin!

"Zone A probably won’t last much longer, and the M-class drugs you have should already be running out, right?

"Did you figure out who the imitator is after all?

"There’s no time left!"

Huang Shengjie vaguely felt that Lin Sizhi might have already pinpointed the suspect, but he hadn’t identified them.

Which made him even more anxious.

Lin Sizhi looked at him: "Do you think the situation is very urgent now?

"Yet even in such dire circumstances, are you still placing your hopes in others?"

Huang Shengjie was taken aback: "But... I have no clue at all..."

Lin Sizhi pointed to his temple: "Think carefully.

"The information we have now is already plenty.

"Moreover, there’s a clue right on one of the players here in this lounge."

Huang Shengjie froze for a moment, but no image emerged in his mind.

Lin Sizhi turned to the door: "Before the game ends, I will identify them.

"But if you want to save more people sooner, then think for yourself."

...

Meanwhile, Ye Lin was also in her room, listening to the identification of Shen Qingyun.

Just in the previous round, she had just handed over the M-class drugs to Shen Qingyun, and this round should have been passed to the doctor, to be distributed to patients in the next round.

And the identification of Shen Qingyun appeared at this "perfect timing," making the situation seem darkly humorous.

"Hopefully, as you said, you’re already used to it."

Ye Lin sighed silently, poured herself a small glass of red wine, and then leaned on the sofa to rest.

With only the final four rounds left, everything would be over.

As a sales figure, Ye Lin had nothing more to do, only needed to wait patiently.

But just then,

The vending machine emitted a "beep beep" sound again.

Ye Lin was slightly surprised, but still went to the machine and pressed the communication button.

Huang Shengjie’s somewhat anxious voice came through.

"Sister Ye Lin!

"Quickly, tell me in detail about the game when you met the auditor, it’s important!"

Ye Lin was a bit surprised: "Why are you also asking me this?"

Huang Shengjie paused for a moment: "What do you mean ’also,’ has someone else asked you?"

Ye Lin: "Yes, about an hour ago, Lin Sizhi asked me too."

Huang Shengjie quickly asked: "Did he follow up on anything?"

Ye Lin thought about it: "No."

Huang Shengjie was somewhat excited: "That’s it, come on, tell me everything you told Lawyer Lin."

Ye Lin didn’t ask further and recounted it truthfully.

"Okay, I’ll think about it more, thank you, Sister Ye Lin!"

Ye Lin wanted to ask more, but Huang Shengjie had already ended the call.

...

The 21st round of the game had already started.

Chen Guangming stood in front of the vending machine, considered for a moment, and pressed the ’surveillance’ button.

Then, he selected the VIP room on the far right of Zone C on the room structure map.

Seeing the player appearing on the screen, Chen Guangming instinctively adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.

Originally, he thought the game was a bit too simple.

As a sales figure, Chen Guangming succeeded in persuading the auditor of Zone C upon their first meeting, finding a stable channel for drug sales, and had been invincible from the start.

Although Zone D had encountered some resistance, it was quickly conquered too.

There are four zones and four sales figures in the game.

So, a sales figure successfully occupies one zone counts as a success, and simultaneously occupying two zones will certainly earn the highest returns from the game.

But as the game progressed, Chen Guangming suddenly realized that the quickly captured Zone C actually showed some strange signs.

The drugs were not selling well.

In this game, players can only pass drugs level by level, so there’s a certain delay.

Therefore, Chen Guangming speculated that Zone C had issues about four or five rounds ago.

But the auditor of Zone C couldn’t figure out what happened, only saying the two patients helping to sell drugs seemed to have mutinied together, no longer carrying out the original plan.

The six patients in Zone C seemed to have reached an agreement, sharing drugs, and no longer buying large quantities of O-class or F-class drugs from the doctor.

After analyzing the situation briefly, Chen Guangming quickly understood the doubts lay in that VIP room.

Logically, the doctor on the right side of Zone C should have met this player, but consistently insisted they hadn’t, so Chen Guangming still doesn’t know his name.

So, he decided to use the ’surveillance’ function to see.

The ’surveillance’ angle is from the upper left corner of the room, similar to common surveillance footage, able to just barely make out the player’s appearance, hearing conversation-level sounds, but not enough to see the player’s name badge.

But for Chen Guangming, the name badge was clearly unnecessary, as he recognized this player from before.

At this moment, the system broadcast sounded again.

[A player has chosen to use all their medical points to identify the imitator.]

[Identification begins.]

...

As more players in the game fell into despair, identifications became increasingly frequent.

After all, for those players whose medical points were drained by drugs and even all their visa time, they had nothing left to lose in this game.

Exhausting what little medical points remained to try to drag the imitator down was normal behavior.

But after several successive identifications, the players’ patience was nearly worn out.

Up to now, only the identification against Shen Qingyun reached the ’system verification’ stage.

Because this mechanism is actually quite strict.

The time for identification initially is only one minute, and only by giving sufficiently persuasive reasons and having some players offer medical points can the time gradually extend, up to five minutes.

Even though Qin Cheng urged everyone to launch as many verifications as possible, to share information this way, there weren’t many players responding in reality.

This time the identifier seemed somewhat nervous and agitated.

Moreover, he wasn’t the player in the room Chen Guangming was monitoring.

So, Chen Guangming hadn’t initially paid attention.

But as the information increased, he began to realize this identification seemed different.

...

"Everyone listen!

"I have found sufficient evidence, Xu Yiheng is the imitator in this game!

"Time is limited, I don’t have time to explain where this information was collected from, please listen carefully and compare it with your own game experiences!

"First, we must confirm one point: this is the first game of the second stage, and the successful imitator is definitely no ordinary person, they must be extremely strong and confident!

"Just like those players selected to be sales figures can’t accept only making a tiny profit, this imitator can’t accept only securing the minimum return in this game!

"They will inevitably manipulate the game, overtly or covertly, using a script they’ve figured out.

"Hence, the imitator will surely arrange for themselves a position with ’sufficient control’ that is ’flexible’!

"Only by understanding this can we find the real imitator by following the clues!"
