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

Chapter 643 New Disappearance, Analysis and Arrangement

"Someone is missing again."

Hearing what Lao Zheng said, Lin Yu did not hesitate at all and immediately spoke up to remind everyone.

In an instant, the scene became chaotic again.

"Someone's missing again?!"

Yue Zhenqiao frowned and spoke, completely unaware of when it happened.

At the same time, Lin Yu turned his head and looked carefully at the bodyguards behind him.

Without Lao Zheng's reminder, Lin Yu was able to identify the missing person based solely on his own memory.

Two people, one was wearing a sword and the other had an injury on his left arm.

Although none of them are important members of the escort team, there are now a total of twenty-six escorts in the stone house, excluding the two who disappeared at the beginning.

There were two missing, Lin Yu could tell at a glance.

He walked quickly to where the two men had just been - there were even traces of blood on the ground.

Lin Yu looked at the few escorts closest to him: "They were here just now, what do you remember?"

Lin Yu said this in a cold voice, and the escorts' faces showed confusion and fear.

"No……"

"Is it right here?"

"Are you joking?"

Lin Yu frowned and called out to Lao Zheng in his heart: "Lao Zheng, they..."

Before Lin Yu spoke, seeing the reactions of several people, Lao Zheng had already checked: "Their spirits have not been tampered with."

Lin Yu let out a breath.

"No? Then why?"

"Old Zheng, what about the two missing people? Any clues?"

Lao Zheng replied again: "No, it just vanished in a flash... One second they were there, and the next they were gone."

"Of course, because my perception outside of mental power is not that accurate, if those two guys didn't react themselves, I might not have noticed the process of disappearing."

Li Nian also quickly came to Lin Yu's side, squatted down and wiped the ground with his fingers. In addition to bloodstains, there were traces of people stepping on and sitting on the uneven stone bricks.

"The dust is thinner than elsewhere, and there are some broken spider webs." Li Nian twirled his fingers and looked at Lin Yu. "Sister Zhu Ming, how did these two living people disappear?"

"Since all the players are here, it must have been done by demons," Lin Yu turned around and looked at the three newcomers who were drawing swords and holding guns, and the three who were trying to hide under the table to avoid the flying knives that could make people disappear. "I don't think any of them has this kind of power."

Li Nian nodded: "That's true..."

After saying that, Li Nian stood up and then took out a shield and a pistol from the air.

"Hey, those three over there—the situation is getting worse. I'm going to return your things first!"

Li Nian said this and threw the props back from a distance.

After Charmander caught the shield, he subconsciously said, "Thanks."

Deadshot interrupted Charmander: "Why are you thanking her? Are you stupid? This was originally yours."

Squirtle laughed out loud, "Yeah, Charmander... But I guess I can brag about it when I get out!"

"I've seen the thief, and I haven't lost my [prop] yet..."

Before Squirtle finished speaking, Li Nian took out a stack of scrolls like magic.

"this is yours."

As Li Nian spoke, Squirtle's expression changed slightly and he touched the sleeve of his robe.

"When did you get it?!"

Li Nian threw the scroll back and grinned, "With them both, but you stuffed it in well enough that you didn't even notice it."

Lin Yu looked at Li Nian, full of admiration, and at the same time, did not forget to tease him.

"Good job, but please don't steal my things."

Looking at the wary Lin Yu, Li Nian spoke with a smile.

"Then be careful, Sister Zhu Ming, and hide your things!"

After Li Nian returned all the stolen items, he looked at the trio who were still on high alert and couldn't help but remind them again.

"Hey, this demon can make people disappear silently. You can't defend against it like this."

Charmander said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Then what do you say we should do?"

Although only the escorts were missing, four of them had vanished in less than an incense stick of time...

There was still a long time at noon, and it was only a matter of time before the players disappeared.

Especially among these bodyguards, we can’t have too many of them missing…even if most of them are missing it is unacceptable.

After all, the six players together only had a half-complete map, and without these escorts, it would be difficult to know how to get to Liu Town.

Lin Yu spoke calmly, "Of course, we're analyzing the existing information. You're a bunch of useless idiots... The common point we can draw from the four missing people is that they're all relatively 'healthy'. At least no seriously injured people are missing."

"Secondly... I don't know about the two last time, but the two who disappeared this time were probably the type who were relatively quiet and didn't socialize much with others," Lin Yu continued. "The fact that these escorts instantly forgot their existence suggests that this demon has some means of altering people's cognition... Although I have some knowledge of mental abilities, so I can be sure that this phenomenon is most likely not achieved by directly tampering with the mind, the existence of 'cognitive modification' is indisputable."

"Those with simple interpersonal relationships will disappear first, which is consistent with the law of this 'phenomenon' - the connections between people are like a network. The more connections a person has with others, the more gaps need to be filled after he disappears out of thin air."

As Lin Yu spoke, the other players and escorts were also confused.

"So, we should now focus on monitoring the one with the fewest friends and the most taciturn person in this escort team?"

Death Shot said this and Lin Yu nodded.

"Yes, but after finding the similarities, we must also find the differences... Find the differences among the rest of us."

"What I'm more curious about now is why these escorts have cognitive confusion, but the six of us don't?"

A simpler explanation is the difference between players and NPCs.

but……

Why did this difference cause him to still clearly remember the appearance of the two bodyguards, while his colleagues who worked with him day and night had forgotten them?

In particular, Li Nian obviously had an impression of those two people, which proved that this "cognitive modification" was indeed different for players and escorts.

This... Lin Yu found it very strange, but he had no clue for the time being.

While Lin Yu was struggling, Yue Zhenqiao also understood Lin Yu's advice.

"Alright, everyone, come over here... Those who have just joined, those who don't usually drink with everyone, those who are from other towns, come in front of me—let's keep an eye on them together and try not to give that demon another chance to attack!"
