God's imitator

Chapter 199 Considerations for Recruiting New Members
Fu Chen didn't quite understand. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Are you saying that if Chen Yumei is a copycat, she could actually become the presiding judge herself and pass the trial more smoothly, thus escaping trial? Instead of being completely passively involved like now, risking being voted out in the end?"

Cao Haichuan shook his head: "No, that's not the reason."

"If Chen Yumei were to become the presiding judge and successfully complete the game, it would obviously be a contradiction in the game mechanics."

"The prerequisite for becoming the presiding judge is to give relatively extreme answers to the five questions before the game begins."

"But if someone like that were to preside over the trial, it would be highly unlikely that she would pass the trial. If she did pass the trial smoothly, it would only increase other players' suspicions that she was a copycat."

"Whether Chen Yumei lied during the lie detector test or not, other players could find out later through her game purchase records, which is not a safe bet."

"If she were truly a copycat, she wouldn't be so oblivious to this."

"Suppose that a copycat were to design a game to judge himself, the optimal solution would certainly not be to gain an advantageous status."

"It's best to let others have an advantageous identity, choose a disadvantaged identity yourself, and then figure out a way to get by."

Fu Chen was stunned for a moment: "Isn't that exactly the method Chen Yumei used in this game?"

Cao Haichuan shook his head: "It looks like it, but it's not."

"The problem lies in the initial screening mechanism."

"If Chen Yumei were a copycat, she could have used more covert methods to screen out others and hide herself."

"This question-and-answer format for lie detection should not be used."

Everyone nodded, seemingly understanding.

Chen Yumei is indeed more like a copycat than Li Jiang, but if she really is a copycat, people might not suspect her.

She could use other methods to make Jiang He the presiding judge, such as creating a small mechanism similar to a farmer walking, and then assigning different weights to men and women.

When choosing a helper, you can choose not to choose Li Jiang, but instead choose another player with weaker stamina.

As a result, Jiang He, being one of the women with a relatively strong physical advantage, will most likely be chosen as the presiding judge, and the game will ultimately lead to the same outcome.

If it weren't for those initial five questions, and if Chen Yumei had simply slacked off and offered no opinions, how could anyone else have guessed her true thoughts?

Even if you buy her game records, you can't find any flaws at all.

In that case, it would almost be considered the perfect crime for a copycat.

Even if some people suspect that Chen Yumei is a copycat, they simply cannot find any evidence.

Therefore, Lin Sizhi and Cao Haichuan believed that Chen Yumei was not a copycat based on this point.

Lin Sizhi added: "Of course, we have a premise that 'Chen Yumei did not suddenly lose her intelligence,' so we cannot completely rule out her suspicion."

"But in any case, the copycats who made these games must not be stupid, and they must have thought things through carefully. They shouldn't have left such contradictory loopholes."

Wang Yongxin breathed a sigh of relief: "So the conclusion is:"
The imitator of the "birth trial" is neither the imitator of the "king's trial" nor Li Jiang or Chen Yumei.

"Of course, it's even less likely to be Jiang He, Yang Yuting, or any other person being judged in this game."

"Because the other criminals on trial are basically in a state of no human rights, if they really encounter a judge who is a bit stubborn, they will all be killed. Copycats are not willing to take such a risk."

"After much deduction, we concluded that the copycat never actually entered the game he designed."

"It's all for nothing."

Li Renshu reminded, "It's not a complete waste of time, but at least it's very helpful for us to understand the thought process of copycat criminals."

"Haven't you noticed? Although the New World hasn't revealed any more rules about copycats to us, we've figured out a lot on our own. For example:"
"The copycat doesn't necessarily have to enter your own game, so not every game can end by finding the copycat. Finding the copycat is more like a hidden secret to winning, and it's not something you'll find in every game."

"Imitators, in order to conceal their identity, are unlikely to design overly similar games indefinitely. They may even deliberately create games that are quite different from the original style. Therefore, imitators cannot be identified solely by their game style."

"To find copycats, the most important thing is to analyze their 'purpose' and 'intention,' but every copycat is different, so you can't just apply the same methods to everyone."

"With these clues, finding the copycat will at least be like searching for a needle in a haystack, and there is still some hope."

She looked at everyone and said, "Alright, today's debriefing has taken a bit too long, let's stop here for now."

"Everyone has worked hard, get some rest."

……

night.

Wang Yongxin and Yang Yuting arrived at the small room on the third floor.

"Are you alright?" Wang Yongxin asked.

Yang Yuting looked at her bandaged wound: "It's okay, just a little itchy. Dr. Zheng said it's nothing serious, just rest well."

Both of them fell into a brief silence.

Clearly, this trial game and Jiang He's death were black swan events for both of them, full of surprises.

On the downside, Wang Yongxin has one less person to win over, while Li Renshu's group of five has become even more secure in their position within the community.

The death of a member could have been a catalyst for division within the community.

If the "immunity ticket" is used improperly, it could potentially cause the previously stable structure of the community to change again.

However, Lee In-sook handled the incident very calmly, which earned her even more goodwill.

Of course, is everyone satisfied with Lee In-sook's performance this time?
Will anyone think that Li Renshu's decision not to save Jiang He was based on an overly subjective standard?

It's hard to say, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable.

But in general, even if such suspicions do exist, they are unlikely to be revealed in the short term.

On the bright side, however, Jiang He's death served as a way to defuse a potential problem for Wang Yongxin's already fragile group.

Wang Yongxin didn't dwell on it too much, saying, "Let bygones be bygones; there's no point in discussing those things anymore."

"I think the main issue we need to think about now is what kind of female player the community should recruit next."

"Although theoretically, this matter will most likely be decided by a vote of all members, and Lee In-sook may guide the discussion, your opinion should also carry enough weight."

"On the one hand, the opinions of other female players in the community will play a significant role in deciding which female player to recruit. You and Xu Tong can vote together, which can influence others to some extent."

"On the other hand, you are, after all, the direct victim of this incident. As long as your opinion sounds reasonable, most swing voters will side with you out of sympathy or consideration."

Yang Yuting thought for a moment and said, "Do you think... it's possible to find another actuary? After all, Luo Wei's case was an accident. We can't expect every actuary to be like her, can we?"

Wang Yongxin silently shook his head: "It's unlikely to work."

"Logically speaking, Luo Wei's betrayal is a low-probability event, and hiring another actuary is unlikely to lead to a similar situation. However, emotionally speaking, most people in the community already have certain prejudices against this profession, so the chances of this proposal being approved are very low."

"Even if you want to choose women with high IQs, you have to switch to a different profession."
