Chapter 386 Everyone's Motives
Lin Yu had to admit that when six "third-level" masters were involved as accomplices, and Luobo, the "victim", was also involved, even though the whole scam still had some things that made people feel "wrong", it was difficult to find flaws.
But unfortunately, as the officially certified "fraudster" of the "Death Game", Lin Yu is quite sensitive to scams.
Their lies and cover-ups would make Lin Yu smell something was wrong.
If you follow these insights, even the most challenging answers will naturally surface.
If Radish's death were considered a murder, it would have been too clean.
It is almost impossible to conceal the truth from the layers of investigation and various investigative tools of "Order" and from Li Hua, the "gambler", and to do it cleanly without leaving any loopholes.
So, based on this, Lin Yu couldn't help but think...
What if it wasn't murder?
Rather than saying that the murderer had done it so cleanly that the Order hadn't been able to detect any traces or flaws...
The possibility of errors in the general direction of "order" seems to be even greater.
After all, if you put yourself in their shoes, Lin Yu feels that in terms of the difficulty of the two things, the latter is definitely simpler.
And, after following this line of thought, he found decisive evidence in his conversation with Cress.
Cress had used magic on Radish—but it wasn't intended to kill him.
But saving him.
Looking at the five "accomplices", Lin Yu smiled.
"I know you may still not want to admit it, but all of Order's previous investigations were based on the assumption that Mr. Radish was 'murdered,'" Lin Yu said calmly. "But if we investigate from a different angle... what if we see what abilities and tools helped him?"
There was silence in the house.
Only Cress spoke again after a long silence: "Even so..."
Huang sighed deeply and interrupted Cress.
"Forget it, Cress, forget it."
"Admit it, I've been seen through."
Cress pursed his lips and finally shook his head: "Okay, okay, you've surrendered, what can I do?"
Zhiyuan also sighed: "Can't you respect this old man's last wish..."
"If his last wish was to die peacefully, that's fine, but who would have thought this gentleman would choose such a drastic approach," Lin Yu rubbed his brow. "Also, Zhiyuan, you're also a member of Order, even my senior... Why are you helping Carrot implement a plan that's clearly going to cause chaos?"
Zhiyuan sighed again. "In my personal opinion, I'm convinced by him... I believe his plan is actually beneficial to the player community and the current situation."
"And as you said, I do miss the old 'Players' Mutual Aid Association'."
Lin Yu looked at Zhiyuan and asked, "So... when were you convinced?"
Zhiyuan looked at the remaining four people.
Bai Lian Gang said in a deep voice: "Then let me tell you."
"It was three months ago."
"Three months ago, Luobo contacted us secretly and invited us."
Along with the sound of tempered steel, the "beginning" of everything unfolded before everyone.
Three months ago, they received invitations from "Luo Bo" in various forms.
The leader of the Players' Mutual Aid Association, the high-end player with the best reputation, told them one thing—he had decided to strive for the Fourth Stage.
This was a highly risky undertaking. For players who had reached the "Third Level," they were relatively well-equipped to handle various situations in ordinary dungeons, though there were still risks...
But the risk is far less than that of reaching the fourth level.
Especially if you're not fully prepared.
But Luobo had made up his mind - and knowing that there was a high probability that he would fail, he found these five people and naturally wanted to make arrangements for his funeral.
"My biggest headache is that [item]... that [super genetically modified carrot] the devil created by twisting my wishes. I hope you can help me find someone to properly dispose of it."
"Secondly, I'm still deeply sorry for what happened back then. The 'Player Mutual Aid Association' will inevitably deteriorate after my death, so I've saved some money. I hope you can continue to compensate the families of those friends who died with me in the dungeon... In the form of a fund or charity, I'll be happy. I've saved this money on my phone."
"Also, I have a son and a daughter, and I left them some money. You don't have to worry about that. Instead, I would like to ask you to donate all my excess property when the estate is settled... My daughter married well, and my son is a lazy person, so the extra money won't be of much use to them."
And these three arrangements and last wishes obviously would not allow them to commit disguised fraud.
Therefore, it is the last point that really makes them have this need.
"Finally, the most important point is that I carefully selected the five of you."
"After my 'failure', I will do my best to return with one breath left. I hope you can help me hold on to that breath..."
"Cress's Purification Secret Technique, combined with Ming Wang's Rejuvenation and Bailian Steel's Reshaping of All Things should be able to achieve this."
"Also, although it may be a bit presumptuous, I hope you can disguise my 'death' as 'murder' - because as I said before, after my death, the further deterioration of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' is almost inevitable."
"This requires the help of 'Kite' and 'Phoenix'... I consulted the 'Advisor', and he gave me a very feasible plan, but I'm sorry to both of you."
"I know that ambitious young people have joined and taken the lead, and I also know that those organizations... especially those that have been removed from the list, are using my place as a springboard."
"I don't want it to become a tool to harm people... that goes against my original intention of creating it."
"So, my death must not be gentle and natural. I cannot die while failing in a dungeon or advancing."
"If I really fail... then don't waste my death. Make my death conspicuous and let them mistakenly think it was done to each other... That way they won't continue to erode the organization."
"Perhaps the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' will be destroyed because of this, but destruction... is still better than it becoming a tool to kill more players."
"As for the reward... I can't give you much. I will only record the entire process of my attack on the 'Fourth Stage' and invite you to observe it at the last moment."
"I hope that even if I fail, you can still learn from it—just like the 'Players' Mutual Aid Association' in the past."
"If possible... I hope that after my death, it will undergo tremendous turmoil and change... and eventually return to its original state."
