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

Chapter 549 Underground Ecology

"so smart?"

Lin Yu was slightly surprised when he heard the description of Buyetian Huoxing.

No wonder the technology in the City That Never Sleeps is developing so rapidly and the status of the princes and nobles remains solid.

If there's something like this passed down in the family, no matter how technology develops, or how powerful the surgery and various props become...

The royal nobles have always controlled the greatest violence in the City That Never Sleeps through "God's Choice" and "divine artifacts".

Coupled with the secret "alchemy" that is the basis of all technology, it is indeed enough to allow the rule of the royal nobles to continue.

"It sounds scary, but it's actually not that simple," said Huo Xing of Nevernight. "It might not be as effective in my sister's hands as it is when used by my mother, but I still have to be on guard—at least I have to keep her away when I kill Art Mercury."

"Otherwise, if we succeed, she might even be resurrected."

"Can it be resurrected?"

Lin Yu was shocked again.

"Didn't I tell you? It can even 'store' the passage of time. In other words, it can rewind time on a small scale, affecting a single individual," said Huo Xing of Buyetian. "If they die within a few seconds, they should be able to be saved."

Lin Yu nodded slightly.

That's fine, you only need to control it for a few seconds.

This thing is probably more powerful when used in combat.

It’s a pity that items of this level will never fall into the hands of players.

"Thank you for the information. I will have my people be careful."

Lin Yu said this and took note of this information in his mind.

"In short," Buyetian Huoxing suddenly said, "We have the same interests now, and we are honest with each other. Should we be considered friends?"

Lin Yu didn't know why Ye Tian Huo Xing suddenly said this, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

"That's it."

"Hey, that's great," Buyetian Huoxing smiled brightly, "You finally fell for it!"

"what?"

Lin Yu was a little surprised.

"As long as you admit that we are friends, I can manipulate your body after you die. This is my alchemy!"

Buyetian Huoxing smiled cunningly and spoke like a fox.

Lin Yu looked at the Buyetian Fire Apricot and then curled his lips.

"You're lying."

Huo Xing from Buyetian was very surprised: "How did you know that?"

"I'm wearing [Mind-Reading Goggles]."

Lin Yu pointed to his eyes.

Huo Xing immediately calmed down, and the whole person seemed to become a piece of wood in the [Mind-Reading Mirror]: "You still have this thing?"

"I got it by luck before."

Lin Yu said vaguely.

After all, Forbolo did not have this thing, but fortunately he seemed to have many opportunities to possess it.

However, as expected, this thing is just a mass-produced [prop]. It would be fine if it were placed in other worlds, but it is not very useful for the superiors in the City That Never Sleeps.

Everyone has corresponding countermeasures.

Of course, Lin Yu does not rely entirely on this thing.

Even though the Nevernight Fire Apricot made sure that his emotional energy was completely hidden, Lin Yu still had the ability to observe micro-expressions that he had honed over the years.

"Are you playing this joke on me because you're happy to make friends but a little embarrassed to express your happiness?"

When Buyetian Huoxing heard Lin Yu's words, she pursed her lips.

"Damn it, Forboluo, you are such a bad person... You are worse than the pink candle in the trash can that looks like a sausage!"

She stood up and clapped her hands. "But I'm really happy to have made friends—but let's stop here for today."

"I have to go back to the Buyetian family. If I'm any later, the servants will notice I'm missing."

"You should also return to a conspicuous place on the ground. According to my analysis, it won't be long before Sister Huo Le will remove your wanted notice and suspicion and send someone to pick you up."

Lin Yu felt a little curious when listening to Buyetian Huoxing's words.

"How are you going to get back?"

"We're using an underground pipeline. This is used to transport various 'Great Wilderness Cave Gases'... The various gold gases and ancient sulfur gases in the cave are very important catalysts and raw materials, and are in great demand for various alchemical experiments. Therefore, this pipeline connects directly to the Great Wilderness on the outside and the inner city on the inside. It's very convenient and very secretive... but most people don't know about it."

"Of course, even if we knew, it would be difficult to use it."

Huo Xing from Buyetian said.

“Why is it so hard to exploit?”

Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.

"On the one hand, each manhole cover is strictly monitored. If it is moved, it will alarm to prevent poor people and people from the wilderness from stealing the gas. The one you came in was removed by me."

"What about the other side?"

Lin Yu asked again.

"On the other hand, it's not safe inside this pipe either."

Lin Yu was a little solemn.

"What's unsafe?"

Could it be that there are people or machines on daily patrol here, or are these gases themselves harmful?

But Nevernight Fire Apricot just pointed at herself.

"Because I am inside this tube—this is a round-trip passage that belongs only to me."

"Of course, I use it for a reason. If I come across someone stealing the gas, I'll take care of them. Nowadays, this pipeline is considered taboo by gang members and criminal gangs."

"In the early years, there were still the occasional people who came to steal the air, but once they got in, they couldn't leave, and no one knew how those who died inside died... It's become something of an urban legend, with rumors circulating about it being a 'forbidden zone for life.'"

Huo Xing from the Nevernight Sky laughed.

"But that's actually quite arrogant. After all, I'm just not letting humans in..."

As he spoke, Huo Xing walked to the pipe outside and knocked on it.

"Dong dong!"

The pipe trembled slightly, and several mice jumped out of it, quickly jumped to the ground below, and began to run around in fear.

"Compared to me, these rats and other animals are the original inhabitants of this pipeline. I respect the ecology here - and I will also pay them 'rent'."

As Buyetian Huoxing said this, he took out a piece of bread from his trouser pocket, tore it open and scattered it on the ground.

Lin Yu looked at the fat rats rushing over to grab the bread, bumping into his shoes like small cars, and didn't know what to say.

"You're quite caring."

Hearing Lin Yu's praise, Buyetian Huoxing waved his hand.

"It's okay. If I were hungry I would eat them too - that's what ecology is all about."

Buyetian Huoxing left a sentence that once again surprised Lin Yu, then turned and left.

"Then...see you on my birthday, Forboluo."

"Don't forget my gift!"
