God's imitator

Chapter 504 Accident
"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Lee In-sook was awakened by loud banging on the door.

She felt her head was still a little foggy because she had drunk quite a bit the night before.

I opened my sleepy eyes and looked at the clock by the bed. It was 5 a.m.

According to the community rules, players cannot enter each other's rooms, but they can knock on the door or speak outside the door.

However, most players are quite conscious of boundaries and generally won't deliberately come to bother them.

So Lee In-sook instantly came to her senses and realized that this was an unexpected and special situation.

She quickly came to the door in her pajamas and opened it a crack.

"what's up?"

Zheng Jie stammered, "There's some information on the big screen in the lobby! Come and take a look!"

Li Renshu paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, wait a few minutes."

She quickly changed her clothes and left the room, walking briskly towards the lobby with Zheng Jie.

"Didn't you drink a lot last night? Why are you awake so early?" Lee In-sook asked.

Zheng Jie looked rather unwell; his hair was disheveled like a bird's nest, and his eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating that he hadn't fully recovered from his hangover.

"When I woke up this morning, my stomach felt a little uncomfortable, so I threw up for a while, and as a result, I couldn't fall back asleep."

"I was thinking of going to sit in the lobby, have some tea and relax."

"As a result, we saw this information on the big screen."

"I came to find you right away."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the lobby on the first floor. Li Renshu looked at the large screen, which displayed a few lines of simple information.

The two "special games" have ended.

[The final results for the 17th community's players in the two special games will now be announced.]

[The "Hidden Judge Trial" - Case No. 5, Cai Zhiyuan: Deportation.]

[Simple Roulette - No. 12 Lin Sizhi: Survived.]

[Due to special circumstances, the rules for New World and Arcade will be updated, and Community 17 will receive special rewards.]

Upon seeing these contents, Lee In-sook was stunned and remained silent for a long time.

Then she asked, "When did this information appear?"

Zheng Jie shook his head: "I don't know!"

"When I came down, this information was already being displayed on the big screen."

Lee In-sook thought for a moment: "Call everyone up."

"I'll call out numbers 1 to 6, and you call out numbers 7 to 12."

“Yin Zhang and Attorney Lin must know something.”

The two of them went back to the second floor separately and knocked on each door to wake everyone up.

After a while, ten players arrived in the hall one after another.

Their expressions varied as they saw the message on the big screen.

Some people were clearly shocked by the information contained therein, and even seemed completely unable to accept the fact.

But some people seem to be mentally prepared for this.

Li Renshu looked at Zheng Jie, who was the last to return from the second floor: "Where is Attorney Lin?"

Zheng Jie handed over a piece of white paper with a hint of helplessness: "Put this on Attorney Lin's door."

Li Renshu took it and saw only four words written on it: "Don't knock." She thought for a moment and said to everyone, "Please sit down and have some tea to clear your head."

Everyone went to the vending machine to buy tea or coffee, and some people bought a small amount of breakfast. Afterwards, everyone sat around the long table again.

The mess of dishes from last night's dinner party hasn't been cleaned up yet, but a broken bracelet is clearly visible on the floor.

Lee In-sook bent down and picked up the bracelet, her expression momentarily complicated.

She looked at Wei Yinzhang: "What is 'special game'? You should know, right?"

Wei Yinzhang nodded: "I know."

"The day before our dinner party, the arcade sent a notification to copycats, updating the rule."

"Simply put, copycats can pay 100 million minutes of visa time to designate a player to enter a 'special game'."

"This game is unaffected by death-exemption tickets and other props."

“Once the ‘Special Game’ is approved, it will not be launched at a fixed time. The target player will be directly pulled into the game, and other unrelated players will not be notified when the game starts.”

"However, judging from the current situation, the results should be announced normally when the game ends."

Qin Yao was utterly astonished: "One million! Is it really one million? Who has that much visa time?!"

Yang Yuting's focus was elsewhere: "Wait, why didn't you tell me about such an important rule beforehand?"

Wei Yinzhang paused for a moment, then explained, “Because I think that currently no one—including players and copycats—can gather 100 million minutes of visa time, and even if they could, it would be impossible for them to really decide to use it up in a very short time.”

"Considering that the last life-or-death game has just ended and everyone is going to have a celebratory dinner the next day, I think it's best not to tell everyone this news, so as not to spoil everyone's good mood."

"After all, in the short term, the likelihood of this rule taking effect is not high."

"I originally planned to tell everyone today."

Lee In-sook nodded: "Yes, it's understandable to have that kind of thought."

Li Jiang leaned back: "Are you really planning to say this today?"
"I guess everyone has some secrets."

"Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide anything anymore. The results are already in, aren't they?"

Qin Yao was a little confused: "Secret? What secret?"

Wei Yinzhang did not deny this, but said, "Since things have come to this, let's wait for Attorney Lin to explain these matters."

Everyone fell silent again, each drinking their tea or coffee.

Some people looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows, while others stared at the large screen, pondering the meaning behind those lines of information.

Qin Yao was also thinking hard.

"According to the information on the big screen, two 'special games' were taking place simultaneously in the corridor while we were sleeping."

"One is Cai Zhiyuan's 'Trial of the Hermit,' and the other is Attorney Lin's 'Simple Roulette.'"

"But in the end, only Attorney Lin survived..."

"As the article states, only copycats can initiate 'special games,' and they must pay 100 million minutes of visa time."

"Is it a copycat from another community who suddenly paid 200 million minutes of visa time, while targeting Attorney Lin and Cai Zhiyuan?"

“Or…

"Are they both copycats?"
"If Tsai Chih-yuan is a copycat, which game was it? It shouldn't be 'King's Trial,' maybe it's 'Simple Questions'?"

Clearly, many of the players present had their own secrets and knew some details, but almost no one knew the whole truth.

The atmosphere in the community became very oppressive.

Qin Yao felt increasingly confused as she thought about it, and finally gave up. She looked at the mess of cups and plates left over from last night's dinner party, got up and started cleaning up.

The other players also stood up and silently cleaned up the battlefield.
