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

Chapter 1050 The best acting skills in the world

Listening to Xia Yue's gentle but resentful words, Lin Yu calmed down.

"I still don't believe you came back from the dead... How did you do that? I killed you with my own hands... and death is irreversible."

Xia Yue shrugged calmly: "It's normal not to believe it - after all, you 'played with time' at that time... This is also an irreversible law."

"Those high-handed onlookers who helped you became your accomplices for your wonderful 'performance'...and when one 'rule' can be overturned, it means that at that moment all rules can be 'overturned'."

"The will of the Gray Realm seized my shattered soul before my death—just as it gathered the fragments of the entire 'Wasteland Realm' here," Xia Yue said calmly. "The existence of the 'Death Game' has blurred the boundaries between the various worlds, allowing the Central Authority to exploit this opportunity. This place is specifically designed to collect and accept things that have been 'omitted' from other 'worlds' due to various loopholes and captured by it."

"In short... life and death are not irreversible, but when you overturn time, the boundary between life and death will be broken."

"Well, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Anyway... you'll be trapped here forever."

Xia Yue whispered, preparing to turn around and walk into the control room again.

Lin Yu looked at Xia Yue: "Wait, what about Li Nian?"

"Don't worry, I won't leave her here. If there's someone here to keep you company, the torture will be halved, so I'll... kill her."

After Xia Yue finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yu.

"Any questions?"

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes: "Because of the [Ancient Notes]?"

Xia Yue nodded. "You're quite clever indeed. That's the deal I struck with the central government. If that girl named 'Li Nian' dies, her [Ancient Notes] will become ownerless—the 'Death Game' will throw it back into the Ten Realms, back to its original world... Therefore, it will naturally return to this Gray Realm."

"So, I will erase her soul here."

She laughed. "Why, could it be that this little girl is particularly important to you, and your friendly relationship isn't just an illusion... then we'd kill two birds with one stone."

Lin Yu stared at Xia Yue: "That's not the case - but the words you answered me also revealed a very fatal loophole..."

"This is the weakest 'small world' in the Gray Domain, right?—Things from other worlds fall into this world because of the rules of the 'Death Game.' This means that this small world is considered the 'fringe' of the Gray Domain according to the rules... Furthermore, after accumulating so many fragments from other worlds, the rules here have become extremely chaotic."

"In other words, this is the world where the Central Authority's control over the Gray Domain is weakest, and where the rules of the Death Game have the greatest influence."

As Lin Yu spoke, Xia Yue laughed.

"You're still as sharp as ever, Detective-kun... But so what? Even if you're weak, you still have a way to escape this world, right?"

"Of course I have. I can meet the 'pass' conditions," Lin Yu said with lowered eyebrows. "The conditions for passing the 'Death Game' are just that I have to pass the 'final exam'. In a place like this where the central government has little control, I can naturally find a way to 'construct' a scenario that can accommodate a final exam."

As Lin Yu spoke, Xia Yue frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"Haven't you figured it out yet? Yeah, it's an implanted memory after all...it's normal that you can't remember it clearly."

Lin Yu whispered, and then...

"Shh!"

Pale spider silk dangled from the ceiling.

Xia Yue suddenly realized: "So that's it, Zhu Qiansi—you want to find the scene of the 'final exam' from the past few hundred years of your management."

The spider silk wrapped around and pounced towards Lin Yu, but Xia Yue moved!

"Did you think you would succeed so easily?"

She was extremely fast, and the gift the Gray Domain gave her seemed to be more than just memories related to "Zhu Ming".

She easily grabbed the end of the spider silk and spoke loudly.

"Come on, activate your abilities—let me go with you into your past and see if you can pass the 'test' despite my interference!"

but……

The two of them were still standing in the corridor.

Lin Yu burst into laughter.

"Ahaha, I guessed wrong, Xia Yue—very wrong!"

Then, Li Nian's exclamation was heard from the control room.

"Ouch—Sister Xia, what's going on!"

Then the exclamations stopped abruptly.

"Because you're here, I can use this move without worrying about Li Nian getting suspicious," Lin Yu said easily. "Anyway... the 'Cause and Effect Thread' itself has the power to 'penetrate the world'."

"Whether I succeed or not, Li Nian has already left this world. Li Nian can definitely use the causal thread to return to his past karma and send this half of his soul back to the real world to complete the fusion of souls."

Lin Yu said calmly.

Xia Yue gritted her teeth and said, "How is this possible?"

But the fact did happen - both of them could feel that after the "Cause and Effect" magical power took effect and Lin Yu finished speaking, Li Nian's soul disappeared.

Lin Yu looked at her and grinned: "Originally, it might not be possible. It was just a 'possibility', but... after I said it, it became 100% certain."

He opened his left hand, mist poured out from between his fingers, and the hands of the rusty pocket watch turned.

[The repaired mist pocket watch] refreshed the cooling time of [Sweet-talking], and then Lin Yu chose to activate the effect of [Deceitful Tongue] again.

"Li Nian must be able to use the causal thread to return to his past causal relationship and send this half of his soul back to the real world to complete the fusion of souls" - it makes sense, but because it is too certain, it is indeed a lie.

And now, the lie has come true!

In this small world with chaotic rules and unclear boundaries, after using the ability of "Fate Fragments" to disrupt cause and effect to make things even more chaotic, it is natural to use the [Lie Tongue] to easily turn Lin Yu's lies into reality.

"If you wanted to get the [Ancient Notes], you should have erased her soul earlier," Lin Yu looked at Xia Yue and laughed, "But don't worry... It's not impossible for you to go to my past with me - I just need to make sure Li Nian gets out first."

Lin Yu whispered, then looked at "Xia Yue".

"I know what you're thinking, I know what you're planning... You'd rather give me the chance to let Li Nian go. Essentially, it's because you really, really need a 'player' who obeys your orders completely. And if this 'player' is someone like me, then his value would be higher than materialized authority—that's why you're trying to trick me!"

"You almost succeeded. Compared to Xia Yue's 'resurrection'... there is indeed another possibility that is more likely - you are not Xia Yue, you are also Lin Yu - this is the most terrifying part of your plan!"

"After all, for me, being able to play Zhu Ming, then performing the feeling of 'the original Xia Yue' is also very easy!"

"And once I believe this 'scam,' then the part of me that's already loyal to the 'central authority' will become the 'dominant' part—right? 21% of me!"

Lin Yu laughed loudly and pinched the face of "Xia Yue" in front of him, disrupting the other party's "shocked" expression: "Okay, you don't have to act anymore. Although my acting skills are indeed pleasing to the eye... However, now that you have been exposed, you should just bow down honestly, otherwise... it will be too embarrassing!"
