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

Chapter 983 You came at the right time

"Did you win?"

After hearing Hannah's report, Lin Yu thought for a moment and was indeed a little surprised.

"Is Crazy Blade a no-brainer? Probably not... Looks like I've stumbled upon a treasure this time. This April might be even more 'useful' than I thought."

Lin Yu thought about it and didn't take this variable too seriously.

after all……

This variable has little impact on his overall plan.

Even for Lin Yu, it would be better if he could arrive at the venue in April.

And at this moment, Lin Yu's location...

It is the backstage of the main stage of the Tide Festival.

Before the fall of the Lost Kingdom, this place seemed to have been an open-air theater.

Even in a different world, Lin Yu always felt at home in the backstage preparation room of the theater stage.

The noisy sounds outside came along with the waves. Lin Yu slowly relaxed his mind, took out the magic pattern dagger again, and began to slowly wipe the blood off it.

"We have to wait a little longer... the time is not right yet."

"Hmm...if it looks like that, maybe we can actually make it in April."

He calculated the time silently in his mind, as if he was planning to wait quietly until the time he had planned arrived.

but……

Some people didn't intend to let Lin Yu wait quietly like this.

"boom!"

The door of the backstage escape passage was knocked open, and Lin Yu looked at the person who came in.

The young man holding the dip pen looked a little tired, with faint dark circles under his eyes, but he immediately locked onto Lin Yu who was sitting on a pile of miscellaneous items in the dim light.

"Sure enough...you're hiding in the background."

Shanque stared at Lin Yu and spoke.

Lin Yu looked at the tit and nodded slightly: "The tit of the Night Watchman... you can really find this place."

These words surprised the tit.

"you know me?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Of course."

Although I didn't know him originally, after eavesdropping for so long, I should have gotten to know him.

Shanque stared at Lin Yu for a long time, and then said two words.

"Thank you."

This surprised Lin Yu: "Thank you for what?"

Shanque looked at Lin Yu and said seriously, "Thank you for your encouragement... I originally thought I wasn't very famous, but I didn't expect that a random 'Predator' guy I met would know my code name. This shows how much you value and respect me. This is a great encouragement to me."

For a moment, Lin Yu felt that he had underestimated this guy.

Not only was this guy so smart that Li Hua specially paired him with Kuang Dao as a teammate, but he was also a little... neurotic?

This made Lin Yu more vigilant.

After all, in the "Death Game", the more skilled the player is, the less normal they appear.

Although it may not be possible to infer, the probability that a person whose brain circuits seem abnormal is a master is indeed higher than that of an ordinary person.

Chickadee continued to talk to himself: "But it's really a bit unfair... You understand me, but I don't understand you."

"Yayu."

Lin Yu immersed himself in the performance again, introducing himself in the tone of Yayu: "If you think this is unfair, I don't mind introducing myself. My name is Yayu, my occupation is "Reporter", and I am a reserve member of "Predator". I am currently "First Level".

As Lin Yu spoke, Shanque looked at her.

"Ha, what a joke! 'First Order,' a reserve member... If you're truly a reserve, then the 'Predators' are truly blind," the titmouse murmured. "To me, even though I don't know your combat prowess yet, just based on your 'planning' abilities, you're practically a branch chief."

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows: "I am very confident in my plan, but... do you really understand my plan?"

"Since I found this place, it means I have seen through it," Shanque stared at Lin Yu, "Your teammates are just bait, right? They seem to let her take the [Mermaid's Tear] after auctioning us off, and you wait for an opportunity to create an explosion to cover her retreat. In fact... the real [Mermaid's Tear] should not be with her, but has been stolen by you long ago!"

"You were able to sneak into Haimu Zun's mansion and plant the bomb, and of course you also had the ability to steal the things long ago. You were just using her to create a time difference and create chaos to delay us, prevent us from being discovered, and prevent you from evacuating smoothly with the [Mermaid's Tear].

"After all... the 'Lost Treasure' clearance requirement requires not only a change of ownership but also the actual breaking of the seal to obtain it. And to open that thing, you need to break the ancient civilization seal on the outside, which takes some time."

As Shanque said this, he raised the paintbrush in his hand and pointed the tip of the brush at Lin Yu.

"This plan is already ingenious enough... but you still underestimated my ability to gather information and my patience, as well as my sensitivity to 'coincidences' and 'details'. As a cartoonist, I will focus on conceiving the story's 'plot' and pay attention to all the foreshadowing and details."

"And if what happened in Haimu Zun's mansion were told as a comic book story... those two explosions, if they were simply to cover your teammates' retreat, would be a huge hassle—it might even attract some of the Sirens' security forces. If you truly wanted her to escape, wouldn't that just increase the risk? It might even reduce the pressure on us, who are also being targeted by the Sirens!"

"So, your goal from the beginning was to create chaos and hide your whereabouts—you were even prepared to abandon your teammates."

Lin Yu listened to Shanque's words and shook his head.

"This is a serious accusation. I have no intention of giving up on her, even though she is indeed bait."

He looked at Chickadee, thought for a moment, and then said, "Most of your analysis is correct, but... you made one mistake."

"I'm creating chaos, drawing attention, and buying time, not to avoid you two. Honestly, I know both you and Wild Blade. I know that most of the Order and Night Watchmen who might appear here are Second Order... but they're not on the level of Silver. They're not worth my fuss."

Lin Yu stood up from the pile of debris and spoke proudly.

"I delayed because I had other plans. That was your biggest mistake—of course, you also made another, smaller one."

Chickadee frowned: "What mistake?"

"I know you're stalling for time by talking to me because you're waiting for your [Item] to cool down so you can unleash the power you'll use to kill Gu Ya Zun. So, I'm stalling for time," Lin Yu sighed. "And I'm stalling for time because... you mistakenly identified the guy who caused the explosion at Hai Mu Zun's residence."

"That's not me, that's Haimu Zun himself—he's my partner."

Behind the tit, the sound of flowing water was heard in the passage.

He subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but it was too late!

"Crack!"

A crisp sound of crystallization was heard, and the sea water around the tit instantly "froze" and stopped flowing, turning into a transparent cage that imprisoned him.

Hai Mu Zun walked out of the passage, and the ancient arcane wristband on his wrist emitted a cold light.

"Sorry, I'm a little late. Your partner's stab was a little too accurate, and it took me a little longer to treat the wound."

"It's okay, you came at the perfect time, my friend."
