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

"I'm here to 'end' all this?"

Lin Yu frowned after hearing this.

"But what do you want me to do?"

he asked softly.

However, before Vervaletti could reply, Forpolo started shouting.

"Why do you only talk to Wuyue? Why is he the smartest..."

"Am I not qualified?!"

Forpolo said dissatisfied.

Will Valetti glanced at Forpolo and frowned slightly.

"You? You do have some wisdom...but if you want to end this 'monster' created by the company, you can't do it. He has to come!"

After hearing what Will Valetti said, Forpolo's face softened slightly, but he still couldn't hide his anger.

"Of course I am wise - but your attitude of looking down on others must be at fault!"

Forpolo looked at Lin Yu with a serious expression.

"In May, I felt that this guy might not be a good person - he is also an employee of Truth Company, and B-3 is already not a low level... There are four authority levels of A, B, C, and D, each with 3 level!"

"He is almost considered a manager, so we can't believe what he says!"

"Maybe this guy just wants to trick you into dying!"

Forpolo said, Lin Yu nodded.

Although there was some emotion in these words, Lin Yu knew...

What Forpolo said is reasonable and the result of his rational analysis.

In fact, Lin Yu did not completely believe Will Valetti.

He looked at the researcher and sighed.

"To be honest, I do have doubts about you..."

Will Valetti was not surprised: "I understand. After all, I now seem to have the same origin as this monster, and even come from the 'company' that created this tragedy. No matter whether I am on the monster's side or on the company's side, There... there are various possibilities that I have 'bad intentions'."

"But I can only ask you to believe me!"

he said seriously.

"Time... is really running out!"

Will Valetti said, Lin Yu and Forpolo were confused.

"What do you mean time is running out?"

Forpollo asked eagerly.

"It has now grown to a 'horrible' level, and you have alarmed it by finding it here," Will Valetti said. "Soon, it will forcefully activate the 'Dream Maker'... Now it has already You can control some of the instruments here!”

"And once that one is activated, you will all fall into the dream it creates—including other survivors who appear with you in Solstice Mountain!"

"In two or three minutes at most, it will start here!"

Will Valetti said, Lin Yu's expression changed slightly.

"Does this monster sound like it's come to life?"

When Will Valetti heard this, he looked at Lin Yu again.

For the first time, a tangled look appeared on the researcher's face.

Finally, he spoke as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay, let me tell you - it is not alive now, it just relies on the collective consciousness formed by the 'devoured soul' to act - but what you said is exactly its purpose...to obtain the 'real' life'!"

"This thing wants to digest and integrate all souls, allowing it to give birth to real souls and lives."

"To do this, it needs to swallow more souls!"

"And once this thing truly 'comes to life', from simulated consciousness and life activities to a real creature... it can completely break away from these instruments, and - it is very likely that it will gain 'wisdom' because of the devoured soul. !”

"By then, none of us can predict what it will do!"

Will Valetti said, Forpolo and Lin Yu looked at each other.

"This is too crazy!"

murmured Forpollo.

"I see," Lin Yu breathed out, "This makes perfect sense!"

"But I still have one final question - why does it have to be me and what do I need to do?"

"Is it just because of 'that' in me?"

Lin Yu asked.

Will Valletti nodded.

"Yes, what you have to do next... is to find the monster's identity in the 'dream'."

"It is not easy to destroy it in reality. Now it has been bound to the Zhidong Mountain underground base. If you want to destroy it, you have to find a way to destroy the entire base!"

"However, what can be revealed in dreams is the consciousness formed by those devoured and imprisoned souls."

He seemed to realize that Lin Yu didn't want to expose the "mark of the gods" on his body in front of Forpolo, so he also spoke vaguely.

"And the one on you guarantees you will find it."

"But... I don't know how to destroy it after you find it! But I believe you can find a way - with the ingenuity of the two of you, you will definitely be able to find a way!"

Will Valletti said candidly.

"Aren't you cheating on me?" Forpolo couldn't help scolding, "Although I don't know what kind of riddle you played with May, and why you can confirm that May can find that soul..."

"But we don't know how to destroy souls either!"

Will Valetti explained: "In dreams, its soul also has an entity...and it can only become a 'frightening monster image', and it must be the fear of those souls in dreams—— Like a giant snow monster that’s seven or eight meters tall!”

"You put it lightly," Forpolo said angrily, "This thing is beyond our ability to deal with!"

"There are more than two of you, you have... there should be nine left now!"

"In the dreamland, if you two gather them together, you will definitely be able to come up with a solution!"

Will Valletti said eagerly.

Lin Yu, who had been silently thinking about how to kill the snow monster, heard this, was stunned for a moment, and said: "You mean, all of our remaining survivors will enter the same dreamland next!"

"Yes, that monster will also hope to gather you all together and catch them all... After all, it doesn't have many souls it needs now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Forpolo was about to say something, but there was a sudden loud noise from below.

“Buzz——!”

Will Valetti looked at a running spherical machine below, his face changed drastically, and he shouted quickly.

"No...the instrument has been started!"

“Remember, you must ‘eliminate all fear’ in your heart. No matter how terrifying the image is, once fear appears, it’s over!”

After he finished speaking, a burst of bright light erupted from the spherical instrument below.

Forpollo fell to the ground with a clang.

but……

Will Valetti looked at Lin Yu in surprise.

Lin Yu stood there calmly and did not fall asleep.

"You...why can you ignore the dream maker?!"

"Because this is essentially a 'rule' - when this instrument is activated, everyone will enter the dream created by this instrument."

"And I happen to have the ability to mess with the rules - and luckily, the person who gave me that ability hasn't disappeared yet."

Lin Yu said happily.

Thanks to him for taking an in-depth look at the 'rule-based' career advancement guide.

The various "non-player-activated prop effects" and "specific abilities of monsters and NPCs" in the game can also be regarded as a type of 'rules'.

It can be invalidated by 'ruffians' and modified by 'officials'.

Otherwise, among those 'survival' and 'fighting' type dungeons with relatively simple rules, these 'rules-based' professions would be extremely weak!

Just now, Lin Yu used his 'official' ability to modify the effective range of this "dream creation device" to exclude himself.

Of course, Lin Yu was even more fortunate. Fortunately, he had taken double insurance and was well-prepared for his 'rule-based' career.

after all……

The ability of the ‘rogue’ has disappeared!

Will Valetti's surprise then turned into despair: "But if you don't enter the dreamland, then...your companions will die!"

"This monster named 'Chat' will also come to life completely!"

He knelt down weakly on the ground and looked in Lin Yu's direction.

Lin Yu shook his head and said coldly: "I have a reason why I can never appear in dreams... Or rather, I can never appear with them!"

In that case, all Lin Yu's self-contradictory lies will be broken without attack!

"As for the life and death of those people... I'm sorry, Researcher Will Valletti, they and I are not companions. They will die as long as they die."

"As for monsters... all I care about is the 'truth'."

"Killing it won't do me any good!"

Lin Yu said calmly.

From beginning to end, he solved all the puzzles step by step, just to complete the upgrade task.

The second task of promotion only requires him to find the 'liar' and see through the 'scam'.

From beginning to end, Lin Yu did not need to "expose" or "destroy" this 'scam'.

He did sympathize with those who died, but...

It's not enough to put yourself at risk for this.

Hearing what Lin Yu said, Will Valetti was stunned for a long time.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, okay... In that case, let's make a deal!"

"I have always noticed that you tell everyone a different 'identity' and don't want them to know your true identity - after all, you are a person favored by the God of Change, and you have very good motives."

"I can help you interfere with the communication between them in the next dream, ensuring that your lies will never be exposed!"

"Although I have retained my self-awareness, I am also part of this 'monster'... I was able to enter your dream before to give you a hint, and I can also enter this dream!"

Will Valletti said.

Lin Yu looked at him with interest.

"It's very exciting to me."

Indeed, even if he does not appear in the dream, there is still a certain risk of seeing through his lies when those people gather together.

"But... it's not enough!"

"I can also promise you my 'notebook' - that notebook has the property of not being damaged," Viervaletti said, "This is the only thing I can provide you!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu breathed out.

"Then...deal."
