Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1555 Hello Boss, the solo henchman you requested for clearing the Mysterious Prison map is r

Hearing Lin Yu's confident words, the God of Shadows sitting next to Lin Yu pondered for a moment, and then nodded.

"If you can really erase this part of your memory so cleanly, that would be great."

"But... since we're talking about a 'deal,' what do you want from me?"

"Because I'm definitely going to kill you later... so I don't know what you need at this critical juncture?"

Lin Yu listened to the words of the God of Shadows and spoke very frankly.

"I still want to know who commissioned you to come."

The God of Shadows raised an eyebrow: "Why bother with this when you're about to die? Is dying knowing why it's important to you?"

Lin Yu shook his head: "No... After all, what you call 'death' is not actually 'the end,' it just means I will lose my 'player' status."

"It's precisely because you reserved my soul for the 'God of Oblivion' and the 'Central Authority' that... I will actually retain a considerable portion of my self-awareness, won't I?"

As Lin Yu spoke, the God of Shadows curled his lip slightly, his tone somewhat disdainful.

"What a naive idea... At that time, 'you' won't be 'you' anymore—even if your memories and consciousness are preserved, your own will and the affiliation of your soul will become a puppet of the 'forgotten' authority, a vessel of the 'gray area' world's will."

"Even if I told you who issued this commission against you, you wouldn't have any thoughts of 'revenge'."

Lin Yu spoke again: "That's something I need to consider, not something you need to consider."

The God of Shadows sighed, "Then I can't tell you... because I've signed a 'contract' with the other party."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu asked, "Could it be a 'diviner'?"

The God of Shadows shook his head: "It wasn't him. He was looking for the 'God of Oblivion'—I have a pretty good impression of this demigod-level 'player,' after all, he was quite active in the realms of Mist Island and Prison Mountain."

"If he comes to entrust a god, he will definitely entrust the 'God of Oblivion'... After all, you also have a connection with the 'God of Change'."

"He is a natural ally of the 'God of Oblivion' and doesn't get along very well with the 'God of Change'."

Lin Yu listened to the words of the God of Shadows and immediately memorized the information.

Lin Yu wasn't surprised at all that the employer behind the "God of Oblivion" was the "Diviner," but the information the God of Shadows had just added made him very concerned.

The fortune teller doesn't even get along with the god of change himself?

This is very useful information.

Since the "Diviner" was able to use his relationship with the "God of Change" to bring the "God of Oblivion" to deal with him, he could also use the same method against him!

"If the opportunity arises in the future, perhaps we can use the 'God of Change' to deal with the 'Diviner'!"

As Lin Yu pondered, the voice of the God of Shadows rang in his ears.

"Well, although I can't reveal my client's information... in exchange, is this enough to justify your silence regarding the 'central authorities'?"

Lin Yu gently shook his head.

“It’s very useful, but… it’s definitely not enough.”

“After all, although this is the first time I’ve heard about it today, it doesn’t sound like anything particularly secret,” Lin Yu said calmly. “So… you’ll have to tell me a little more.”

The God of Shadows tilted his head: "You're really bold. You're about to lose your life, and you're still trying to negotiate with me, the one who holds your 'life and death' in his hands."

Lin Yu looked calmly at the God of Shadows without replying.

Sure enough, the God of Shadows laughed as well.

"But I'm in a pretty good mood right now... so you can ask me anything you want."

"If I could tell you, I would."

Lin Yu didn't mince words when he heard the God of Shadows say that.

"As a god, and a powerful being among gods, you must know about and have witnessed the versions of the 'Death Game' before, right?"

The God of Shadows nodded proudly: "Of course."

Lin Yu picked up where she left off and naturally asked, "Do you know which 'players' from the previous version are still 'alive'?"

"Regardless of their form or which of the ten realms they live in... do you know who they are?"

Lin Yu asked, and the God of Shadows immediately shook his head.

"That's a question I can't answer."

Although Lin Yu asked the question very naturally, the content of it actually...

He was no different from someone who suddenly launched a sneak attack.

The God of Shadows, of course, could not answer this question.

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the response from the God of Shadows.

"As expected... the one who entrusted you to solve my problem was the 'player' from the previous version, an organization called 'Copper Furnace' or a member of it, right?"

The god of shadows still did not reply.

But silence was enough for Lin Yu.

Even without this confirmation from the "God of Shadows," Lin Yu was seventy to eighty percent certain that the "Copper Furnace" had commissioned the God of Shadows.

After all, the "Central Organization" collaborated with the "Psychological Society" and the second-generation "Freud" to find "Schreber"; while the "God of Oblivion" accepted a commission from the leader of the "Raiders," the "Diviner."

There are only a handful of organizations that have their eyes on him and will take action during his "trial." Of the three organizations that have been removed from the list, the "Freedom Alliance" has recently lost interest in his role as the "director." Apart from these, there are other organizations that have the motivation to do so and might even have the "ability" to commission a god to take action...

The only thing Lin Yu could think of that met the criteria was a "copper furnace".

This also provided him with a new clue about the "copper furnace".

This organization, or rather a member of it, has the ability to communicate with the "God of Shadows" and commission the "God of Shadows" to kill them.

Although the God of Shadows' attempt to annihilate him seems to be largely driven by personal interest, ... someone has to tell Him about it first before He becomes interested.

"In short, it's impossible for a 'player' who has an overly close relationship with a deity to not use any related 'items' and abilities... They must leave some kind of clue."

After all, the "Death Game" has dynamic difficulty—if a "player" gains some benefits, abilities, or items related to "shadows," "pain," or "nightmares" because of a close relationship with the God of Shadows, then he will definitely use them in a certain "dungeon."

Because items from the gods are hard to resist becoming a player's trump card or main means of dealing with them.

The repeated "dungeons" of the "Death Game" will eventually force everyone to reveal their true colors.

By the time……

I might be able to pinpoint the first specific member of the "Copper Furnace"!

While Lin Yu was thinking this...

The God of Shadows suddenly said out of the blue, "You've already asked this question... so you don't actually think you're 'out of options' and just waiting to die here, right?"

Seeing the scrutinizing gaze cast upon him by the God of Shadows, Lin Yu was taken aback for a moment, then put on an innocent expression.

"how you said that?"

“This isn’t a question a ‘dead man’ would ask… It’s not that your question is unreasonable, after all, your explanation isn’t entirely unreasonable, it’s just,” the God of Shadows paused and sighed, “your reasoning seems insufficient to me—because if you were really going to die, you would have many more important questions to ask now.”

"Moreover, you are definitely not the type to accept your fate and not put up any struggle—you will definitely make good use of this negotiation between us and try every means to survive."

"But you didn't do that... so I can assume that you're deliberately trying to trick me into talking—because you seem quite confident in your ability to survive."

Lin Yu smiled helplessly upon hearing the words of the God of Shadows.

Is that your assessment?

"But... what else do you think I can do to escape this desperate situation?"

The God of Shadows shook his head: "I don't know."

Lin Yu looked at the other person and said in a low voice, "If you don't know, then I certainly don't know either."

Although Lin Yu's performance at this moment did not reveal any flaws, the God of Shadows clearly still did not believe him.

"Anyway... whatever you've prepared, let me test you out and I'll find out!"

The God of Shadows spoke, and then…

The shadow that had been clinging to Lin Yu suddenly spread, threatening to drag him into a nightmare!

Lin Yu seemed to have truly given up resisting, letting the shadows cover his entire body without making any move.

His consciousness gradually faded, and the power of nightmares began to grow in his soul.

Just when even the God of Shadows was somewhat dazed, almost wondering if he had made a mistake in his judgment...

Lin Yu, who was about to fall into a deep sleep, smiled.

“I’m sorry, God of Shadows… I have indeed found a way to ‘survive’.”

“From the very beginning, I came here not to escape—I came here not to get out, but to make it easier for…others to come in.”

On the outside of that gap, a cell phone rang.

"Beep-beep-"

In the shadows outside the "eternal cage," a tiny octopus holds a cell phone and makes a call.

As the call connected, the power of the "rules" emerged from the shadows, and massive streams of data characters surged forth, flowing across the shadows and immediately invading the interior of this "eternal cage"!

"Click!"

The band-aid in Lin Yu's pocket beeped, and then...

A familiar and cheerful sound rang out.

"Hello boss, this is Jiushui Esports, I'm customer service Xiao Shen, it's a pleasure to assist you—did you place an order for the Mysterious Prison Double Demon Kings Protect the Qing Dynasty map trial?"

The authority of the rules dispelled the power of nightmares and shadows, allowing Lin Yu to regain full consciousness in an instant.

"What are you babbling about? Where do you say that?"

Shen Bingmiao's cheerful voice rang out: "Okay, boss, the thugs will be online to find you soon, please wait a moment!"

The words just fell...

"boom!"

A new breach appeared in the boundary wall, blasting open the original wall and shadows.

A fist emerged from the gap.

Following that punch, a girl dressed in dark blue linen, with her hair tied up and leggings, also peeked out halfway.

Her gaze was like lightning, instantly locking onto the direction of the God of Shadows—not the other avatars, but the enormous primordial avatar.

"Is this the guy who's trying to harm our 'Order' members?"

"These bastards from the Ten Realms are truly lawless!"
