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

Chapter 1149 The Breath of Authority

"Chekhov once said, 'If a loaded gun cannot fire, it should not be placed on the stage.' This quote, perhaps in line with a certain 'trend' in the era of new media communication, has become too widely circulated as part of 'drama theory'."

"But Chekhov's original intention in saying this wasn't to teach the audience how to find foreshadowing in a play, but to warn the creators that foreshadowing must be done as early as possible—ideally around three acts in advance."

『Pen Name』s gaze fell into deep thought as he stared at another eye symbol painted in blood on the corner of the wall.

This was the fifth symbol they had found in the main teaching building.

"Hmm, the symbols drawn in blood in various corners look like those used to summon demons or worship evil gods..."

This young lady writer is obviously an excellent creator and has a keen sense of this "abnormal atmosphere".

"Evil God? Is there an evil god in the Gray Realm?"

The Magician asked.

But rather than curiosity or confusion, this voice seemed to be hiding something.

Baisha was as irritable as ever and said unhappily, "Who can tell? Could it be that we have a Grey Domain expert here?"

Fluoxetine chuckled and said, "Oh, maybe it really is true?"

Her eyes swept over Lin Yu in the corner.

Lin Yu also looked at her: "What do you mean?"

"I just guessed that maybe you know a little bit about the Gray Territory," Fluoxetine said with narrowed eyes. "After all, I always feel that people like you will be particularly favored by the Gray Territory!"

"That's just your guess."

Lin Yu brushed off Fluoxetine's words without revealing any flaws: "I also hope that I know more about the Gray Region."

Fluoxetine didn't ask any further questions: "Is that so... Then just assume that I guessed wrong."

She turned to look at Bandura.

The bald uncle no longer has the mosaic to cover and blur his figure, and his body language is somewhat uncomfortable.

Compared to the "Bandura" of the "Psychological Society", he is now more like an ordinary frustrated middle-aged man. He has worked in a mental health center for more than ten years and is still only an associate chief physician. He is often complained by patients because his treatment concepts are too radical.

However, fluoxetine is not too concerned.

"Baldy, since none of the other players here know much about the Gray Domain... just take it out."

"Although this isn't the real 'Gray Domain,' it's pretty much the same. It's time for President Floyd's [Tool] to shine!"

Bandura nodded. "Indeed, the difficulty level has already exceeded the standard by a significant margin. We must adjust it back a bit..."

As he spoke, the conversation between the duo from the "Psychology Society" shocked Baisha, a straightforward guy who didn't like to use his brain much when it came to things other than money.

"Wait a minute, you can still use [Items]?"

The pen name is not surprising, and this mysterious young lady writer seems to have expected this kind of thing.

"As expected of a 'Psychology Society'...it should be some kind of 'tool' that can implant some kind of 'preventative measure' into the mind or soul, right?"

Bandura nodded. "Yes, our president has been to the Gray Region many times. To combat the Gray Region, she developed a device called [External Group Mind]... In short, that's it."

Bandura put his fingers against his temples. The next moment, he closed his eyes, and soon a ray of light appeared on his fingers.

"Yeah, it's turned on."

The magician was a little curious: "So what is this thing?"

Although this member of the "Freedom Alliance" was very smart and perceptive, he was obviously unable to immediately understand this tactic.

Of course, the others obviously had no idea what Bandura was doing.

Fluoxetine is also happy to explain it to you.

"The function of this device was installed by the president for the civilian staff of the organization. Before the president reached the 'Fourth Level', every time she went to the 'Gray Domain', she would use her external 'mental power' to store information and bring out at least some intelligence allowed by the Gray Domain."

"Besides the president, anyone else equipped with this device can also provide basic intelligence."

"Although the information is very vague and the amount of information carried at a time is very limited, as the amount increases, we can piece together some 'gray zone' intelligence."

"However, in order for the Gray Domain to allow this [Tool] to exist, and because it can transcend cognitive interference and bring out information, this [Tool] can only be activated when cognition and memory are blocked."

"The effect isn't to access all the gray-domain knowledge stored in it, but to provide answers based on your needs and questions—just like an electronic dictionary."

While Fluoxetine was explaining, Bandura seemed to have received some "vague information".

"Huh... I learned some incredible things!"

He touched the top of his head and spoke.

"There are no gods in the Gray Realm, but... this world exists inhabited by high-ranking beings who are akin to gods and coexist with 'authority'."

"They are fundamentally different from gods, but the best among them may have a rank comparable to that of gods."

"And some special small worlds are controlled by them."

Having said this...

Someone quickly reacted.

"Wait a minute, does this mean that the person we're talking to might not be a true 'player,'" the pseudonym said quickly. "Think carefully... although she mentioned a lot of organization names in our conversation, she... doesn't seem to truly understand players, and it seems like she's intentionally leaving some of them blank."

Baisha immediately spoke up, "That's right—there are only a handful of players stronger than us, and players stronger than us who have the ability to create illusions like this... as far as I know, they don't exist—if he's not a player, then that makes sense."

Lin Yu also murmured, "Indeed, since 'Bronze Furnace' is cooperating with the Gray Domain itself... perhaps the members of this organization are not only 'players'."

"But this isn't good news either," the magician said with a headache. "Doesn't this mean we're facing a near-godlike being?"

"Isn't that interesting?" Fluoxetine stared at the eye, as if to meet its owner's gaze. "Ah, my initial feeling was right... Before entering here, that high-ranking aura was indeed a kind of 'authority'."

Lin Yu looked at Fluoxetine in surprise: "You already knew that the player might not be the one who created this dilemma?"

"I just knew there was a certain aura of 'authority' before we entered here," Fluoxetine blinked. "It's not like there aren't some players who hold authority, right?"
