God's imitator

Chapter 481 Departure Area (Bonus Chapter)
He Xiaojun clenched his fists subconsciously. Although the immediate death punishment had nothing to do with him, he still felt extremely suffocated and oppressed in this atmosphere.

He saw the '↑ Lovers' and '↓ Hanged Man' fall down, along with four other players.

He Xiaojun had clashed with "↑Lover" before. Although the olive branch extended to him was malicious and deceptive, seeing "↑Lover's" death still made He Xiaojun feel a strange sense of sorrow.

The player's fate in the arcade is unpredictable.

Even the strong can be eliminated before the weak due to a fatal oversight.

The other players didn't react at all; they were already used to this scene: the game results were announced, and someone or several people fell to the ground without a sound.

Maybe in the next game, I'll be the one lying on the ground, but so what?

[One player from Community 15 will suffer an instant death penalty in the game. Please complete the vote by verbally confirming your decision.]

He Xiaojun heard some players say something, but because their voices were not loud, they became indistinct noise by the time they reached He Xiaojun's ears.

But this noise was like a spell, permeating the room, which was filled with an air of mystery.

"Wang Weidong".

These three words ultimately outweighed all other possibilities.

He Xiaojun saw that '↑Demon' was already sitting by his door, ready to face his fate.

In the final moments, Wang Weidong appeared rather composed.

"Everyone, let's go ahead."

"I hope you can come to me later."

Then, his head silently tilted to one side.

No one can escape death with a pardon.

The fourth community has not activated its immunity voucher, while the fifteenth community's immunity voucher has not yet been restored.

In terms of timing, Community 17 used its last Immunity Ticket in the 'Shelter Game', and Community 15 unlocked the Immunity Ticket after that and used it in the Judgment Game.

Just before the "Tarot Game" began, Community 17 obtained the next "immunity ticket" by reducing the cooldown time.

If you're from a community later than the 17th community, you definitely won't get a "get out of jail free" ticket in this game.

If Wang Weidong had complete control over the use of the immunity ticket and forcibly retained it after the last use, his outcome in this game might have been different.

But, there is no if.

The game rules have ended their punishment of the main community, but that doesn't mean there won't be any more player deaths.

Whether all members of the fringe community die instantly depends on how well the players leave the departure area.

The departure area is now open.

Players are free to choose their departure area.

[After 10 minutes, players will be dispatched in four batches, ranked from highest to lowest total wealth within the departure area, with a 5-minute interval between each departure.]

After the broadcast on the big screen ended, the players immediately sprang into action, quickly heading to the exit area to stand still.

However, they quickly realized that there was no need to rush.

Because the designated exit area in the game is very large, it is large enough to accommodate all players even if they are all squeezed into one exit area.

The specific area a player leaves in does not depend on how fast they move. Soon, some players consciously changed their departure area.

The fewest players remained in area A, while the most players gathered in area D.

He Xiaojun scanned the player masks left in Area A.

'↑Wheel of Fortune', '↓The Hermit', '↑The Fool', '↑The Star', '↑The Queen', '↑The Emperor', '↓The Emperor'.

These are the seven players who gathered in Area A earlier.

Although most players cannot match these masks with specific names, their appearance in the game still creates a strong sense of oppression.

Without a doubt, this is definitely the strongest community in this game, number 17.

Each main community had 6 players participating, but 7 players resolutely stepped in, and the others did not show any obvious resistance.

This means that one of the players has already been accepted by the community within the game.

In the subsequent player flow, many players who were originally standing in area A spontaneously left and chose other departure areas.

However, three players cautiously remained at the outer edge of area A.

This also reflects two different attitudes among some fringe community players.

Those players who quit didn't want to make a fool of themselves.

Because the 17th community is full of powerful players, if they want to bring everyone back, they will definitely make corresponding arrangements. Therefore, even the players with fewer wealth coupons among these 7 players should be slightly higher than the average player.

Of course, if someone like He Xiaojun has an absolute advantage in the wealth voucher market, they could choose to force their way in.

The problem is that squeezing out the original players of Community 17 is a malicious act. If they are hated or rejected by the entire Community 17 after entering the community, it is a terrible thought.

While the strong members of Community 17 have shown goodwill in some games, it doesn't mean they will tolerate everything.

Therefore, many players give up when faced with difficulties.

However, some players, for various reasons, still tried to stay and try their luck.

After all, being accepted by the 17th community is like winning the lottery, and it's hard for players with a bit of a gambling spirit to resist such a temptation.

Players in area B include '↑ Magician' and '↓ Star', but there are significantly more players gathered there than in area A.

The players leading the group in area C are '↑Priestess' and '↓Wheel of Fortune', and there are slightly more players gathered here than in area B.

This is clearly Community 15. Because of the death of '↑Demon', many players will subconsciously think that there will be more empty spaces in Community 15, and more players will be able to leave.

According to the game rules, the number of players allowed to leave each area is different.

Suppose community A is located in area A, and there are currently 10 players in community A. Then, 8 players can leave area A. This includes the 6 players currently participating in the game, and the 2 vacancies that were originally in the community.

If community B is located in area B, and there are currently only 6 players in the community who are all participating in the game, then 12 players can leave area B.

Players in peripheral communities will also use this rule to roughly predict which area has a higher probability of leaving the game.

It is precisely for this reason that the D area has the largest number of players, with at least half of the remaining players standing inside.

Since all members of the original main community, the 4th community, died instantly, it means that at least 6 vacancies have appeared in the community.

The probability of leaving the game through this area is much higher than through other areas.
