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

Chapter 1524 The Sin of Destroying the World

"acquaintance?"

Lin Yu immediately thought of Lao Zheng, after all, he learned his mental power techniques from Lao Zheng, and it was normal for him to have Lao Zheng's aura on him since they spent so much time together.

But then Lin Yu thought about it again and felt something was wrong. After all, although Old Zheng was very familiar with Princess Baiyue, this Bai Ying probably had never met Old Zheng before.

She seemed to have been imprisoned in this eternal cage for a long time—from the previous conversation, Lin Yu could easily deduce that although Bai Ying had guessed that the former "United Kingdom" and even the entire Fog Island civilization had been destroyed... she had not actually experienced any of it herself.

In other words, she probably doesn't know Lao Zheng.

Based on this, Lin Yu naturally thought of the two native gods of Fog Island.

"The familiar 'aura' you sense... is it about 'forgotten' or about 'change'?"

Lin Yu asked cautiously.

He did not directly mention the names of the two deities... after all, Lin Yu also had a feeling about it.

Perhaps during the time when White Nightingale was active in the Kirishima Realm, these two deities... might not have been deities yet.

Lin Yu's question received a direct response from Bai Ying.

"I don't understand what you mean by 'forgetting' and 'changing'. What are you talking about?"

A look of confusion appeared on Bai Ying's face.

Lin Yu looked at Bai Ying and shook his head: "I just guessed that they might be someone you 'know' or someone I've had contact with... Anyway, who are those familiar people you mentioned? Could you describe their characteristics?"

Bai Ying looked at Lin Yu with some surprise: "Why do you need to 'describe' it... Don't you already know how to use mental power? Wouldn't it be better to just show it to you directly instead of describing it?"

As Bai Ying spoke, Lin Yu sensed that she had used a trace of spiritual power—a spiritual fluctuation similar to that of Princess Bai Yue, and indeed, from the level of soul and mind, one could see that the two were connected by blood. This fluctuation was close to Lin Yu's.

Then, Lin Yu saw a scene directly in his perception—it was as if Bai Ying had projected it onto him.

Three figures were shown above, and Lin Yu could even sense the "aura" corresponding to those figures.

"These are the three guys."

As Bai Ying spoke, Lin Yu glanced at the faces and recognized one of them.

"'Empty Cold'?"

Lin Yu exclaimed the name of one of the figures in surprise.

Bai Ying was very happy: "Yes, yes, it's this 'Kong Han,' that's his name—his scent on you is the most recent!"

"This guy seems to be from another world. We've done some transactions with him and even conducted research together, trying to use the 'alchemy' he brought from another world to achieve some helpful results. Although it all fell through in the end due to some disagreements, overall he's a pretty good guy... How is he now?"

Lin Yu sighed: "The answer is right there in the riddle itself, my friend—this 'Kong Han' has also been caught up in it."

"The reason I have his scent on me is because I had a fight with him in Central."

Bai Ying said in surprise, "Eh? Is that so?"

"Is such that."

Lin Yu nodded.

Bai Ying was greatly shocked: "He's actually in this 'eternal cage' too... then why doesn't he come looking for me?"

"Could it be that he's actually still holding a grudge about our collaboration being canceled?"

Bai Ying pondered as she spoke.

Lin Yu said helplessly, "I think that's probably not the case. This Kong Han is probably just... unable to get in."

“After all, you’re in this core area, and he’s in Central… and just as you don’t know he’s been arrested here, he probably doesn’t know you’re here either.”

Bai Ying nodded: "That's true... After all, the fact that I was arrested and brought here is a secret, far from being something that everyone knows."

"I just thought that since he was a follower of that person... he must have heard some rumors."

Lin Yu frowned: "That person's follower? Who?"

Bai Ying spoke up: "An unknown high-ranking being...maybe a god, but maybe not—I didn't tell you why I was arrested, did I?"

Lin Yu looked at Bai Ying and said casually, "Yes, after all, this matter might be your secret... Asking a prisoner what crime they committed to get arrested always makes me feel that it's not very polite."

Bai Ying laughed, crossing her arms: "Ha, you have the nerve to say that... You just used all sorts of methods to interrogate me about royal secrets like the relationship between Princess Baiyue and me, but now you're respecting my 'right to privacy' and being polite."

Lin Yu shrugged: "Okay, to be honest, I just don't think it's important right now—anyway, the reason is probably something like 'destroying the Ten Realms' or 'threatening the safety of the entire Ten Realms', right?"

Bai Ying pouted: "That's true, but specifically... it's quite important, and it's related to this guy."

“To be more precise,” Bai Ying glanced at the projection of “Kong Han” and said calmly, “it is actually related to the high-ranking being he believes in, as I mentioned.”

Lin Yu was indeed curious when he heard Bai Ying say this: "The high-ranking being he believes in... tell me more about it."

"What exactly happened back then?"

Bai Ying thought for a moment and then spoke up: "This is a long story. Anyway... let me introduce myself first. Although you already know a lot about me, you may not be very clear about my former identity in the Kirishima Realm."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "Since you are the 'King's' biological sister, you must be a 'princess' or a 'prince' or something like that, right?"

“Aside from the ‘King’ and the heir themselves, members of the royal family don’t enjoy many titles in our civilization. What you’re talking about does exist, but they are merely ‘nominal titles’,” Bai Ying said proudly. “My more recognized status in the Mist Island Realm and within the Kingdom is that of the Honorary President of the Spiritual Realm Research Association, the Chief Researcher of the Kingdom Academy of Sciences, and the person in charge of the plan after we discovered the ‘doomsday’ that could cause our civilization to collapse and activated the ‘doomsday warning’ program.”

Lin Yu looked at Bai Ying with surprise: "I didn't realize you were actually a... 'scientist'."

Bai Ying curled her lips: "There are many things you can't see—no matter how you view me, most of the 'mental power' techniques you are using now were developed under my leadership—before I became the chief researcher, although 'mental power' had been discovered, most of them were privately passed down by a few small schools and were 'techniques' that were only mastered by a small number of people—but after I took office, I changed this situation, allowing the research and development of mental power to advance by leaps and bounds, and developing many new technologies and new mental devices."

Lin Yu listened to Bai Ying's words with deep respect.

"That's really impressive... and thank you for your contribution."

Lin Yu expressed his sincere gratitude.

After all, mental power was indeed the extraordinary technique he was most comfortable using and the most versatile.

In the realm of spiritual power, if Old Zheng can be considered his teacher, then Princess Baiyue should be his master's master—or, of course, his master's wife.

According to this algorithm, the white oriole in front of him should be considered his grandmaster.

Of course, most importantly, after a brief exchange, Lin Yu had already figured out Bai Ying's temperament.

He could roughly guess that if he sincerely thanked her, it would likely greatly increase Bai Ying's favor towards him.

Sure enough, these effortless words of thanks reached Bai Ying's ears and made her smile.

"Oh dear, I'm really embarrassed to say that. I only made a very small contribution."

"I'm not telling you this so you'll thank me or praise me."

Bai Ying put on a humble demeanor, but she was clearly very happy.

Lin Yu knew that his words had worked, so he continued to speak.

“I know… the main reason you told me all this is probably related to the reason you were imprisoned here, it’s an indispensable background condition, right?”

As Lin Yu spoke, Bai Ying nodded and continued.

"Yes, I was locked up here not because I 'committed' any crime, but because... I 'participated' in a trans-world crime."

"Before this, in order to prevent our civilization from dying out and to deal with that 'catastrophe,' I and other researchers from the United Kingdom actually committed many taboo sins... blasphemy against the soul, usurping authority. In the face of the desperate end of the world, we tried many things."

“But those are not the reasons I’m serving my sentence here—after all, if it were those things, I wouldn’t be locked up in a place like this.”

Lin Yu asked, "So what is it?"

"Just as you guessed... 'Destroy the world,' and multiple worlds."

As Bai Ying spoke, there was no trace of regret in her voice.

She wasn't excited; she simply reminisced calmly and began to speak.

"Although my deal with Kong Han didn't last long back then, I was invited by the high-ranking being behind Kong Han and learned about a way to save our world... or rather, a way to save our civilization and preserve the flame for its continuation."

"And this method requires us to destroy and invade other worlds."

Bai Ying spoke calmly, then added another sentence.

"Of course, this does not mean that we unilaterally plunder and conquer other worlds... after all, this sin is not something that can be punished here."

"We had a premeditated and planned plan with people from different worlds, and all parties involved were to do everything in their power to destroy the worlds of the other parties involved."

"In other words... this plan is to make us create as much chaos and disaster as possible in other worlds, while in a way we are also 'selling out' our own world to other worlds."
