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

Chapter 1510 Negotiation and Dealing, Concern Leads to Chaos

Although Lin Yu didn't quite believe in the "Myriad Transformations Saint King," he did believe in the central authorities' control over the "sages."

This being, formed by the integration of the wills of three worlds and possessing an extremely high status, dared to release the "Myriad Transformations Saint King," naturally indicating that it had absolute confidence in its ability to control him.

and so……

Lin Yu temporarily believed the "Myriad Transformations Saint King's" explanation.

After all, the "Central Organs" and he had indeed established a cooperative relationship—although at the last moment of his trip to the Gray Zone, for some reason the "Central Organs" had tricked him, Lin Yu still felt that the matter was somewhat strange when he thought back on it.

Perhaps that could be interpreted as an attempt by the "central authorities" before their departure—since they had left the gray area, they would continue to cooperate.

After all, the [Sage Emblem] was definitely provided to him by the central authorities.

The current attitude of the "Myriad Transformations Saint King" somewhat confirms Lin Yu's conjecture.

"Expressing goodwill... then I accept."

Lin Yu looked at the Myriad Transformations Saint King and said, "Then, since you have no hostility, can we talk about... a new cooperation?"

The Myriad Transformations Saint King nodded: "Although the organization did not expect you to be here, and we did not come specifically for you, if you want to make a request for cooperation... we can certainly discuss it."

"After all, we don't have many opportunities to meet and interact."

He paused for a moment before asking, "So, what kind of cooperation do you want?"

Lin Yu pointed to Old Zheng over there. His eyes were moving rapidly, as if his consciousness was already blurred. At the same time, his brain was flashing with light, which was shining through the skull and hair that Lin Yu had created for him using the [Ancient Notes], making Old Zheng's entire head look like it was glowing.

"Could you please let this guy go, Ms. Freud over there? He's my friend and companion."

The Myriad Transformations Saint King shook his head: "I'm sorry, our highest priority for this operation is to assist Lady 'Floyd' in fulfilling her commission and following her instructions."

"Sir 'Floyd' has the same authority to cooperate as you, and we are here specifically to help her. We have no right to interfere with or direct her actions, or to advise her on the requests she makes without her request."

Lin Yu looked at the Myriad Transformations Saint King: "Can't I even try to persuade him?"

The Myriad Transformations Saint King shook his head: "Any degree of persuasion will be included in the category of 'providing advice'."

Lin Yu sighed: "Do you really have no autonomy at all? I thought that as the 'strongest' and highest-ranking 'sage,' you would have some special privileges in the central government."

“Lu Xiao has more freedom than you—and when we met last time, I felt that many of your actions didn’t seem like decisions made by the central authorities.”

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the Myriad Transformations Saint King's emotions stirred once again.

"First of all, within our world, especially in my jurisdiction, my authority to act is different from that outside of this world."

"Secondly... when we last met, I did have higher authority—I am no longer the 'strongest hero' I once claimed to be."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, somewhat knowingly, "You won't blame me for this, will you?"

“It is indeed related to my contact with you—after my plan failed in that incident, the ‘central authorities’ reduced my authority and restricted my ability to perform.”

As the Myriad Transformations Saint King spoke, he sighed softly, and his emotions returned to calm.

Lin Yu looked at the other person, and was not surprised by this.

From the moment Wan Hua Sheng Jun lost control of his emotions for the first time, Lin Yu could tell that this guy had probably been "demoted".

After all, the point where he lost control of his emotions was that he called out those names again—if his status and authority had not changed, even if he spoke in an almost mocking tone, this guy would not be able to reproduce that moment of rage.

At the same time, the fact that the Myriad Transformations Saint Lord has appeared here can be considered a hint in itself.

If he were truly the strongest hero and the highest-ranking sage, how could he possibly be sent out on field missions by the central authorities?

In particular, the forceful control and intervention in his will is not the treatment that the Myriad Transformations Saint King should receive given his original position and status.

“But no matter what, I am still better off than the ‘Lu Xiao’ you mentioned,” Wan Hua Sheng Jun said, looking at Lin Yu. “Perhaps you don’t know, the ‘Black Swan of Calamity’ and the ‘Ominous Atsuas’ were ‘executed’ by the organization after you left last time.”

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised: "She was executed?"

“Perhaps it’s a relief for her too,” Wan Hua Sheng Jun paused here, “Anyway… I can’t agree to your request just now. Capturing ‘Schreber’ was a request that ‘Freud’ made at the very beginning and that the organization had already agreed to.”

Lin Yu was still processing Lu Xiao's execution. After all, Lin Yu had recently used the authority of "Calamity," also known as the Blood of the Black Swan, frequently. He was no longer using authority casually; he could sense the state of gods and authority through these "items" that contained the aura of "authority."

In Lin Yu's perception, the "Calamity" authority should be very vivid now, even more vivid than any other "authority" related [item] that Lin Yu possesses—the only one comparable to it is the recently acquired [White Bone Flowing Light]—and the biggest feature of [White Bone Flowing Light] compared to [Ancient Notes] and several "fate" related [items] is that it points to a complete and unsealed authority controlled by a god.

Therefore, Lin Yu subconsciously felt that Lu Xiao did not seem to have been executed.

However, after careful consideration, Lin Yu realized that Lu Xiao's "execution" was not entirely unreasonable.

First of all, many of her actions seem no different from betraying the "central authorities".

Secondly...

The item I received is called "Black Swan Blood"—it's all "blood," so maybe it's from the hellish part of the story, the one Lu Xiao received when he died.

Moreover, it might be precisely because Lu Xiao died and the power of "calamity" was released that he was able to feel that "vivid" and "complete" feeling.

but……

Lin Yu only felt a slight pity about Lu Xiao's death.

After all, he and Lu Xiao didn't have much of an emotional foundation—although he vaguely felt that the girl might be quite familiar with Lin Zhao, given that she was a "sage" and naturally subject to the "central authorities"... Lin Yu knew that the other party couldn't possibly reveal too much information about Lin Zhao, let alone join his side and help him execute his plans.

Even... because of the other party's stance, if she were to actually revive Lin Zhao in the future, she might still stand firmly on the opposite side.

At that time, her understanding and familiarity with Lin Zhao will become an even greater obstacle.

As long as this possibility exists, then for Lin Yu... it's not unacceptable for the other party to die here prematurely.

At least it saves you the cost of killing the other person if things really come to that.

"But it's still a bit of a pity. If she were alive, she might still be an asset to me at this stage—and maybe I could even try to 'turn her' in the future."

Lin Yu pondered, and then said with some regret.

However, he temporarily put Lu Xiao's death aside and continued to communicate with the Myriad Transformations Saint King.

"So, since you can't directly stop 'Floyd' and don't have the authority to persuade her on my behalf..."

"You can still stand by and do nothing about what I do next, right?"

"And if she's planning to 'take action' against me, going beyond the original 'scope of the commission,' you and that other person over there should help me, right?"

Lin Yu spoke again.

The Myriad Transformations Saint King nodded: "As long as you do not take the initiative to attack Lord 'Freud,' we will naturally act on the premise of ensuring that you two partners do not fight each other as much as possible."

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the promise from the Myriad Transformations Saint King.

Good... at least I'm safe now.

Although the sudden invasion of this "eternal cage" by the second-generation "Freud" was quite unexpected for Lin Yu, at least for Lin Yu...

Through his words, he at least ensured that nothing bad would happen to him.

The actor playing 'Schreber' and 'Freud', played by Lao Zheng, doesn't seem to care about himself.

With the promises of the two "sages," it seems that I am most likely safe.

The worst outcome this time is nothing more than "cutting off the tail to survive" and suffering for "Old Zheng"—at worst, "Freud" can take his soul away first.

Anyway, Lao Zheng is his own [prop], and no matter how strong Freud's soul power is, Lin Yu can take him back into the [prop space] - the relevant mechanisms of the [Death Game] are always the highest priority mechanisms.

Unless Freud crushes Lao Zheng's soul and destroys his integrity as a "prop".

But... this guy probably can't bear to part with it—especially if she really interrogates Old Zheng, she'll probably soon discover that this guy might indeed be the real first 'Freud' and not 'Schreber'.

Although that might lead to the exposure of some of his secrets... it would be a harmless and tolerable situation for Lin Yu.

It's impossible that this second generation claims to be the successor of the first "Freud" and has superb mental strength, but still can't recognize that the other party is the real one after actually obtaining Old Zheng's soul, right?

Although it is said that "aspiration is the furthest distance from understanding"...

But the ideal is definitely a long way from being "completely blind to the other person"!

Moreover, this second-generation leader, as a "scholar" and the leader of the "Psychological Society," should not be a complete fool.

She didn't recognize him now, which, in Lin Yu's opinion, was probably just a case of being too concerned to notice!
