"What does this mean? Is it meant to avenge Xiao Zhiyu?"

Seeing this broadcast, Zheng Jie instinctively had this thought.

Because Xiao Zhiyu from Community 9 had just died, and the players from the same community would most likely suspect he died due to being reported.

So, Zhang Shichao immediately broadcast data of a 'report' as revenge.

Among all male players, 65% have already been reported.

This percentage is too high; it tells all the male players a fact, which is that almost all the female players being randomly matched now are reporters, and the best way to avoid being reported is to use the 'step' at hand to kill the female player they meet first!

And Zhao Duo's death is also very likely due to murder by a male player.

After all, her comments on the big screen had drawn all the male players' hatred to the maximum.

Although Zhao Duo had falsely accused Zheng Jie before, Zheng Jie did not feel any pleasure in revenge, but instead became more anxious.

Because he realized that the most terrifying part of this game is that the killings get faster and faster as it goes on!

Only 2 players died in the 5th hour, but by the 6th hour, 6 players had already died.

No one knows how many players are already burdened with reports, nor how many players are trying to exchange the 'step' that can be used for killing.

Throughout the entire 8-hour period, even if there are still many players alive by the last hour, it doesn't mean everyone is safe.

Because in the last round, in the worst-case scenario, it's entirely possible for dozens of people to die at once.

Zheng Jie might still die in the last encounter.

"But... why did Fang Wencong also die?"

Zheng Jie was a little puzzled.

He knew that Fang Wencong had been sending broadcasts and logically shouldn't have enough 'likes' or 'steps' for self-defense, making him a suitable target for those wanting to kill.

But the problem is, Fang Wencong had been safe before, which means he most likely found a fixed matching partner.

And such a matching partner wouldn't likely choose to kill each other until the last encounter, after all, being fixed partners, killing the other would put oneself in danger, right?

"Did his fixed partner have a change of heart? But why not wait until the last encounter to have a change of heart?

"Could it be that the data previously sent by Lawyer Lin played a role? Did some people realize there was something fishy about Fang Wencong and decided not to be his fixed partner anymore, instead deciding to murder him?

"But so what? Even if he was really inciting, killing just him might not solve anything."

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the big screen.

Zheng Jie looked up at the big screen with some surprise, and Lin Sizhi's figure appeared.

He was the first performer selected by this audition.

And on the other side of the big screen, the second performer was the slightly chubby girl who first appeared on the audition stage, Zhong Yuanyuan.

Zheng Jie was stunned for a moment: "Why did Zhong Yuanyuan get matched with Lawyer Lin??"

Logically, there should be a total of 21 auditions, and with 2 players per audition, there shouldn't be repeating cases by the time it's just entering the 7th hour.

"Is it because too many players have died?"

Zheng Jie speculated that the death of many players would lead to some players who had already participated in the audition being re-included in the audition selection pool and appearing on audition early.

But on second thought, it didn't seem right because players with higher likes like Yang Yuting and Lu Xinyi still hadn't participated in the audition yet?

[Community 17's Lin Sizhi has sent over 5 broadcasts, cutting in for an audition, and selected Community 1's Zhong Yuanyuan as the opponent for this audition.]

Zheng Jie realized: "It's a proactive audition!

"Sending 5 broadcasts can force an audition and choose your opponent.

"Lawyer Lin has long surpassed five broadcasts.

"This rule has always existed, but it seems no one has used it.

"But why did Lawyer Lin choose Zhong Yuanyuan?

"Forget it, it doesn't matter who he chooses. What's most important now is to spread that method, so other male players without fixed partners can also use 'bluffing' for self-defense...

"But once this method is made public, if everyone knows about it, it might not work anymore..."

Zheng Jie wasn't sure if Lin Sizhi would really do that; he could only nervously watch the big screen.

Of course, Lin Sizhi didn't prepare any performance. He simply looked at the audition camera and calmly said, "I hope everyone can use 20 'boring' votes to kill the second performer of this audition, Community 1's Zhong Yuanyuan, in 5 minutes.

"Because she is the designer of this 'Matchmaking Game,' none other than 'God's Imitator.'

"As for the reason, I will explain it clearly to everyone in these 5 minutes. Please listen carefully."

"You only have this one chance."

Zheng Jie was stunned.

He suddenly stood up from his seat and instinctively shouted, "What? Zhong Yuanyuan?"

"Lawyer Lin, are you sure there's no mistake here?!"

"No matter how you look at it, she seems innocent, right? She didn't stir up anything at the audition, nor did she broadcast anything."

"Throughout the game, she couldn't communicate with other players, so even if she's an Imitator, knowing the game's rules, she couldn't manipulate other players' thoughts to make them turn on each other, could she?"

Zheng Jie had long anticipated that Lin Sizhi was reviewing various data, even down to specific players, in an attempt to pinpoint a culprit.

From the previous situation, it appeared that Lin Sizhi had already determined that this culprit was within Community 1.

But Zheng Jie couldn't understand why Lin Sizhi could so confidently assert that the culprit was the game's designer, the 'God's Imitator', and why it had to be Zhong Yuanyuan.

Couldn't it be someone else from Community 1?

Or perhaps, these players from Community 1 simply wanted to fan the flames, creating chaos for their own gain?

"This kind of thing, you can't just accuse recklessly, Lawyer Lin!

"If there's no logic in your claim, the other party will definitely counter-accuse you of being the Imitator, and then it's all over!"

Zheng Jie hurriedly listened carefully, not daring to miss any information.

...

Lin Sizhi's time was limited, so he made sure his voice was clear, and his content was concise.

"Firstly, let me show everyone three pieces of data that have already been displayed."

After he finished speaking, he momentarily left the stage, quickly pressed a few buttons on the data query machine, and sent out the data he had retrieved in advance.

[Lin Sizhi from Community 17 broadcasts three pieces of data to all players.]

[In the first four hours, the proportion of 'Likes' received by Gao Jialiang from Community 1 through meetings, out of the total number of 'Likes' and 'Dislikes' obtained from meetings, is: '54%'.]

[In the first four hours, the proportion of times player Gao Jialiang from Community 1 chose 'You Pay' in the meeting room is: '83%'.]

[In the first four hours, after choosing 'You Pay' in the meeting room, the proportion of times player Gao Jialiang from Community 1 reached agreement with another player is: '100%'.]

This data had been broadcasted before, and according to the game mechanism, it could be broadcasted twice in total.

Zheng Jie looked at these three pieces of data with some confusion, vaguely feeling that something seemed off, but unable to pinpoint the specific issue.

Each piece seemed reasonable when looked at individually.

After all, Gao Jialiang is a top-tier handsome guy, so it's not surprising for such a handsome guy to achieve any outrageous data in the 'Matchmaking Game'.

Lin Sizhi explained, "Looking at the first piece of data alone, everyone might think it's nothing—the ratio of 'Likes' to 'Dislikes' is 54%, superior to the average level of male players, fitting into everyone's expectation for a handsome guy.

"But the problem is, the latter two pieces of data reveal a harsh reality to us: Essentially, the handsome guy is unchecked in this game."

Lin Sizhi paused for a moment and continued,

"Gao Jialiang actively pressed 'You Pay' 83% of the time in the first four hours of the game. Considering there's a small probability of matching with a same-sex player in the matchmaking mechanism, this data means he pressed 'You Pay' with all the female players.

"If other players did this, it would be considered extremely inappropriate behavior.

"However, let's look at the third piece of data: After clearly seeing him press 'You Pay' first, all the female players willing to agree willingly pressed 'I Pay' and didn't press other buttons or jointly deducted visa time.

"Clearly, everyone is unaware of the lethal charm of a handsome guy.

"No matter how outrageous the handsome guy's actions are, female players meeting him tend to be indulgent.

"But this creates an obvious contradiction with the first piece of data.

"If these female players all willingly pressed 'I Pay', why did Gao Jialiang receive so many 'Dislikes'?

"Gao Jialiang's data shows that the 'Likes' he received through meetings in the first four hours accounted for '54%' of the total number of 'Likes' and 'Dislikes', meaning he received 6 likes, and 5 dislikes, which is '6/11=54%'.

"These female players endured paying the room fee by themselves, so what kind of outrageous behavior could Gao Jialiang do to make nearly half of them give a 'Dislike'?

"The answer is simple: either Gao Jialiang asked them to give 'Dislikes' proactively, or he did some extremely rude, insulting behavior to force them to give 'Dislikes'.

"To further verify, you can query all the players who appear to have received more 'Likes' at present, and I can guarantee that none of them, in the first four hours, had a 'Like' proportion in the 'total of Likes and Dislikes' lower than 70% through meetings.

"This is more in line with reason: The vast majority of people, upon seeing 'Likes' and 'Dislikes' information, will instinctively understand them as 'Rewards' and 'Punishments'.

"Players who could receive more 'Likes', as long as they want, would also be able to avoid receiving 'Dislikes'.

"So how did Gao Jialiang foresee the value of 'Dislikes' and 'Likes' becoming equally important murder resources four hours later, instantly making him consciously ask for 'Dislikes'?"
