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

Chapter 871 Arrival at Island 6

After hearing Lao Zheng's explanation, Lin Yu still had doubts in his heart.

"But that wasn't the case back at the Thirty-Seven Islands... 'Robin' is considered quite strong even among the 'Level 3'. Even if we ignore the dungeon's mechanics, she still struggled mightily with your 'summoned creatures'."

Old Zheng said helplessly, "I'm a 'Level 3' after all, so it's impossible for me to be completely without 'combat power'... But, Boss, those are things I've been accumulating for a long time—and haven't you noticed? If I were still a 'player', I wouldn't be able to bring those deformed monsters from the Thirty-Seven Islands into the 'Item Space'."

"In other words, if I go to a new [Instance], I'll have to start all over again. Even in reality... I won't have much chance to create those monsters. After all, the whereabouts of corpses in our world are strictly monitored."

"Although I can buy some materials collected by 'Second-Level' players... but there are very few materials that contain intact corpses."

At this point, Old Zheng's tone grew lamentative. "Boss, you've witnessed the battles between the renowned 'Level Three' warriors at the 'Death Field.' Now imagine throwing me into a ring, or some other kind of encounter. Unprepared, I'd face the 'Prisoner' or 'Mountaineer' of the 'Free Alliance,' 'Nicholas' of 'Order,' or 'Snowy Owl' of the 'Night Watch'... I'd rely on my mental strength or the 'Prop' team, which has virtually no direct abilities and relies solely on gathering information and concealing itself. What do you think the consequences would be?"

Lin Yu thought about it and could already imagine Lao Zheng's miserable situation.

He sighed: "I understand...I must have wronged you."

"That's right. Otherwise, how could he have died at the hands of his own subordinates... However, I sacrificed my direct combat prowess in exchange for top-tier strategy. The Lord of Mist Island was killed by my pure cunning," Old Zheng said proudly. "That idiot even tried to scheme against me, trying to use me to seize power in other worlds to help him truly ascend to godhood... Then, I used the art of alliance to collude with two of his trusted confidants and ten island masters. When he was on his way to the Sixteen Islands Winery to inspect the aging wine, I destroyed his airship. Then, under siege by the Heir of the Absolute Sea, he was surrounded and killed."

"And before that, I deceived him with false authority and made him strip away his soul."

As Old Zheng spoke, he was also indirectly telling Lin Yu what had happened that year.

Lin Yu nodded slightly.

"I see……"

In addition to the islands in the Kirishima, there is also a vast sea shrouded in fog, where many monsters live.

The monsters on the island are called "islanders" and the monsters in the sea are called "sea heirs" - the residents and monsters on the island are cunning and treacherous, and the sea heirs in the sea are weird and crazy.

In short, most creatures on the island are conscious, while those in the sea are not - and this is not absolute.

After hearing what Lao Zheng said, Lin Yu probably understood what happened back then.

The defenseless Lord of Kirishima was traveling normally, but was betrayed by his two confidants and his itinerary was leaked. Lao Zheng and ten island masters worked together to shoot down his vehicle, calculated the landing point so that the Lord of Kirishima would fall into the most dangerous sea area, and then he died under the siege.

These sound like just a few casual remarks, but the danger involved can still be imagined.

The Lord of Kirishima is, after all, a genuine demigod, even planning to ascend to godhood.

And Lao Zheng could plot him to death...

All I can say is that his weakness in frontal combat as a "Level 3" was certainly made up for in "strategy."

Lao Zheng was indeed not strong enough in the encounter, but once he was given time to prepare and plan, the result was obvious - a demigod would die.

This secret truth, which was probably known only to his "partners" in Kirishima at the time, once again became another "information gap" in Lin Yu's hands.

Just by using the truth about the death of the Lord of Kirishima, Lin Yu can think of many ways to set up the game.

of course……

There is no rush to make a fuss about these aspects now. The most urgent task is to intrigue with the players of this airship.

After Lin Yu quietly dealt with the "Soul-sucking Vine" that was parasitic on the military residence, there were no other troubles on the airship.

Although the lighting was not restored, the rest of the airship was still functioning normally.

Soon, the airship passed through layers of fog and arrived at... even thicker fog.

As the fog outside the window changed color and was covered with a layer of light yellow buds, Lao Zheng gave a reminder.

"This has entered the Sixth Island area."

Shortly after Lao Zheng reminded him, Nineteen also spoke.

"We should be almost to the sixth island."

The airship then slowly began to descend, and the players couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

This Kirishima airship obviously had some special technology, and it descended very quickly and steadily, reaching the ground very quickly.

Then...

The main door of the airship slowly opened, and a staircase extended to the island.

Eight players, or rather seven players and a monster, got off the airship.

What comes into view is the scene of the Sixth Island.

The appearance of this sixth island was different from the thirty-seven islands that Lin Yu had seen before or the dilapidated and ruined appearance he had imagined.

The whole island is shrouded in a light mist, giving it a fresh beauty.

The airship stopped on a flat stone platform on the edge of the Sixth Island. A straight road paved with white shells and gravel extended deep into the Sixth Island. The trees planted on both sides of the road were staggered and blooming with pink and yellow flowers. From time to time, one or two birds' calls could be heard in the woods.

Rather than saying this is the sixth island of Kirishima, Lin Yu thought he had arrived in a harmonious world with birds singing and flowers blooming.

"Are these not illusions or something?"

Lin Yu asked in his heart.

"No, it's all true. The Sixth Island Master is a man with a deep appreciation for aesthetics," Old Zheng's voice echoed beside his ears. "Perhaps it's because she's one of the few 'ancient people' among the residents of Kirishima."

"Although I have no evidence, I've always suspected that she completely escaped the catastrophic disaster on Kirishima and recently emerged from some kind of 'life support cabin' or something."

"So, she's different from those cunning, dishonest people in Kirishima. She's relatively normal... That's why I'm working with her."

"Of course, because Kirishima is so abnormal right now, it may have had some impact on her. So, although she is fine, her mental state is not particularly good."

"You still have to be careful."
