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

In the beginning, Lin Yu actually did not doubt Forpolo's identity.

After all, Lin Yu easily chatted with the other party about information related to the "game of death" such as professions.

And even though this detective analyzed his career for the first time when they met...

But he is indeed a true 'detective'.

‘Game of Death’ gives out occupations and will never give them randomly.

What's more, the ability of the 'detective' profession itself can also allow people to quickly get "clues".

but……

The "explanation" given by Forpolo is precisely the least credible one.

Because there is not enough time.

No matter how talented a 'detective' he is, if he wants to get the conclusion that "there are exactly seven strongholds next to each abandoned stronghold", he still has to visit at least sixteen strongholds.

but……

He's not that fast!

But if that's the case, Lin Yu may not be able to rule out whether this "Forbolo" used some kind of prop to move quickly or increase the observation field of view.

Therefore, Lin Yu chose to take out the map for further testing.

After marching all night last night, Lin Yu had already determined one thing...

There are "gaps" in this map.

There are 13 players in this game.

However, on this map... even if the center point of the circle is included, there are only 97 strongholds - and 12 abandoned strongholds.

But Lin Yu did meet the other twelve players throughout the night last night.

At first, after Lin Yu discovered that the distribution of all strongholds on the map could be drawn as a circle divided into twelve equal parts, he suspected that there might be a player in the center point.

After actually walking through it last night, Lin Yu had confirmed...

When drawing this map, the area of ​​each sector was expanded just a little more.

After dividing into twelve equal parts...

It hides an entire fan area.

And the area that was covered and hidden happened to be the area where Forpolo was located.

Lin Yu hadn't noticed it when he walked there - because the area where Forpolo was located happened to have a very similar composition to his next area!

After being pointed at by Lin Yu with a gun, Forpolo raised his hands in panic.

"I...I'm not a 'Chart', I'm a 'player'!"

Seeing Forpolo's extremely real fear, Lin Yu could recognize it.

The other party is not acting.

But...this does not mean that the other party is "genuine".

After all, the rough uncle he met before was not acting.

Whether it is the rough uncle or Forpolo at this moment, these two guys firmly believe that they are themselves.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lin Yu's previous deception to that rough uncle to be believed and come true.

so……

Lin Yu looked at Forpolo, not stingy with the bullet in his hand.

A very experienced player on the "Forum" posted a strategy guide. According to statistics, whether it is a 'survival' or a 'fight' type dungeon, the moment when encountering a "monster" in the dungeon has the highest mortality rate...

This is often the first time you encounter a monster.

Therefore, Lin Yu did not rely on the physical fitness brought by his "soldier" and the fighting skills brought by his "goon" to step forward and confront the opponent head-on.

He just shot.

"boom!"

After the gunfire.

"Forbolo" fell to the ground in shock, his face still filled with incredible horror before his "death".

Even Lin Yu, who was very sure that the other party was definitely a fake, couldn't help but murmur at this moment.

Did he really kill by mistake?

However, it doesn’t matter even if you kill someone by mistake... you can’t kill yourself, right?

But then, two things confirmed that Lin Yu's judgment was not wrong.

The first is Forpolo's "corpse" on the ground.

He "melted" quickly.

The color of the whole person first faded and became dark, then the texture became soft, and then the shape began to look like a viscous non-Newtonian fluid.

Soon, the black liquid "infiltrated" and flowed underground.

The whole process takes only a few seconds and happens very quickly.

However, Lin Yu had been staring at "Forpolo's body" for a long time, so he did not miss any details.

The second evidence is...

Lin Yu still has the ability of a 'doctor' at this moment.

"So, the Forpolo I met at the beginning was the real thing, and this one is fake."

"Although it is not certain that this is 'Chat' disguised...but no matter who it is, its disguise method is to create a copy that can 'imitate' behavior."

"And based on Forpolo's reaction just now, it seems that this copy is not the kind that can copy memories... it can probably only imitate what he has already shown."

Lin Yu breathed out, pulled out his chair and sat on the workbench.

"So, the real strongholds are not 97, but 105..."

Lin Yu thought and spread the map on the workbench.

There is a pen holder on the side of the workbench, and there is an unused pencil in it.

Lin Yu took out the pencil and drew two dotted lines on the workbench to mark the thirteenth area that was "erased".

This area should be exactly north of the entire map.

"If there is an undrawn area here, the initial point is in the 'center', and Forpolo's stronghold was here last night. I also passed by one..."

Lin Yu drew three dots.

Then, he was stunned.

Lin Yu suddenly realized that the standard of all the previous bases was a combination of five letters from A to E and numbers from 1 to 12.

But——if the current center point of the area where Forboluo is located is marked as A13...

Lin Yu connected A1 to A13 from the bottom, like the dot-connecting book bought in elementary school.

It became a perfect arc.

Next is to connect B1 to B12——Although there are two dots missing at the beginning, if two dots are added to the missing area 13, it will become...

A connected lowercase "h".

The part connected to C...is in the shape of the letter "e".

The part connected to D is in the shape of "a".

The part of E——is in the shape of a connected "t".

Although these letters overlap, if you add the arc at the beginning and regard it as the letter c.

These letters in the order of A to E can form a word.

c, h, e, a, t, cheat——Chinese can be translated as...

deception, scam.

Lin Yu exhaled.

"So that's how it is. Hiding this area is to prevent people from connecting these letters."

When this word appeared on the map, everything seemed to be connected.

"The monster 'Chat' that the uncle mentioned at the beginning may also be called 'cheat'."

"Then, since the base on this map reminds us that this is all a 'scam'... The 'cheater' who let me in the upgrade mission is probably the one who set up this scam."

Lin Yu murmured.
