Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God

Chapter 210: Tickets and Ambush

Fluoxetine appeared on the elevated bridge as promised, exactly as Lin Yuʼs script had written.

From initially extending the invitation in the form of a ”puzzle” within the dungeon, to later returning to reality and fueling the spread of this ”puzzle” to reach wider audiences—Lin Yuʼs entire operation was for one purpose...

To ensure that ”Fluoxetine” herself would definitely learn about this invitation.

From the very beginning, Lin Yu never intended to personally attend.

Admittedly, plunging Jiangcheng into chaos, forcing numerous experts to take action, making Fluoxetineʼs name appear in most playersʼ field of vision...

Admittedly, plunging Jiangcheng into chaos, forcing numerous experts to take action, making Fluoxetineʼs name appear in most playersʼ field of vision...

But the ultimate purpose behind issuing the invitation in the dungeon wasnʼt initially about these things.

What Lin Yu wanted was to make Fluoxetine appear again.

Regarding whether Fluoxetine would appear or not, Lin Yu admitted there was an element of gambling involved.

His intuition told him that if Fluoxetine heard this news and learned that ”she had invited six experts from other organizations in the previous dungeon,” she might choose to attend.
Moreover, she would likely claim this invitation that ”didnʼt belong” to her.

But this was ultimately just intuition, without any concrete basis.

Though being wrong wouldnʼt cause Lin Yu any real loss, having a plan fall through was always somewhat regrettable.

Fortunately...

”You didnʼt disappoint me, Fluoxetine.”

”Youʼre even more insane and interesting than I imagined.”

”Youʼre even more insane and interesting than I imagined.”

Since Fluoxetine had come, it meant she had accepted the ”challenge” Lin Yu presented.

After all, the current Fluoxetine needed to provide a ”reason” that even Lin Yu himself hadnʼt thought of—one compelling enough to make these people come all this way.

Lin Yu really wanted to know...

What reason would Fluoxetine give that wouldnʼt raise suspicions among everyone present?

Lin Yu soon learned the answer.

After Tycoon and Snowy Owl were ”escorted” off the elevated bridge.

Fluoxetine pulled out three golden copperplate papers that looked like tickets from her chest.

”Youʼve all just met ʼmeʼ in some god-invited dungeon, right?”

”You all survived in the end, and I quite admire your performance... so then, so then...”

”I have invitation letters for another ʼgod invitationʼ here.”

Fluoxetineʼs words caused the remaining six people on the elevated bridge to slightly change expressions.

”Why do you have multiple ʼinvitation lettersʼ in your hands?”

Li Hua asked solemnly, his gaze sharp.

”Ahaha, probably because some god is paying special attention to me,” Fluoxetine said with a blissful smile spreading across her face, ”Itʼs such a wonderful feeling! I hope you can all experience it too!”

Phantom also narrowed his eyes.

”Then congratulations, Miss Fluoxetine... but, may I ask, where exactly does this invitation lead to?”

Fluoxetine fanned out the tickets in her hand like a folding fan, revealing them.

The golden paper was engraved with images of an amusement park in intaglio.

”Theyʼre tickets to the ʼCarnival,ʼ leading to 【Heavenly Amusement Park】ʼs carnival—the event time is to be determined, depending on how quickly the tickets get distributed.”

”Theyʼre tickets to the ʼCarnival,ʼ leading to 【Heavenly Amusement Park】ʼs carnival—the event time is to be determined, depending on how quickly the tickets get distributed.”

As Fluoxetine spoke, she flicked her wrist, and two tickets dissolved into golden light particles that vanished.

”Although Iʼm not particularly fond of puzzles myself, since this gathering started with a puzzle, letʼs end it with a ʼpuzzleʼ too.”

Fluoxetine said with a smile.

”Iʼm not very good at word puzzles, so—”

”One ticket will be hidden in the crevice between poetry and dynasty.”

”The other ticket will be hidden beneath the iron law of equivalent exchange.”

After Fluoxetine finished speaking, everyone slowly digested these words.

Only Fish scratched her hair in frustration.

”Another word puzzle? Are you kidding me!”

”And Sister Nail, what do you mean by showing three but only giving two? Did you keep one for yourself?”

Fluoxetine grinned widely, shaking the last ticket in her hand.

”No, my ticket isnʼt like this...”

”This last one isnʼt for any of you six—itʼs for the person who made this gathering possible!”

As she spoke, Fluoxetine closed her umbrella, letting the rain fall on her.

”Hey—”

Fluoxetine shouted through the rain, but didnʼt look at anyone present, instead raising her head to look at the sky.

”Whoever you are, however you managed it, Iʼm grateful you made this fateful meeting happen! These six people standing here... Iʼm quite satisfied with them too!”

”So, I want to give you a ticket in return—you must be watching, right?”

”Whenever you appear anywhere within my sight... Iʼll give this ticket to you, understood?”

Fluoxetineʼs sudden behavior of talking to someone unknown left the six present somewhat bewildered.

”The person who made this gathering possible? Could it be that her invitation received help from someone else?”

Radish murmured questioningly.

Mosin-Nagant stroked his chin and said, ”Perhaps the invitation letter she used to enter the last dungeon was also given by someone?”

Robin also fell into thought: ”ʼAppear anywhere within my sightʼ... what does that mean?”

Fish let out a deep sigh: ”Sister Nailʼs having another episode, you can analyze it if you want... I need to go research where that poetry and dynasty, equivalent exchange stuff is.”

”Anyway, Sister Nail and Phantom, let me give you both a piece of advice,” Fish said, pulling out her phone to check, ”Based on my understanding of 『Order』, if you donʼt leave soon... 『Order』 will send people to arrest us.”

”After all, Sister Nail, since you showed yourself and actively drove away Tycoon and Snowy Owl, that Game Master over there should be able to confirm thereʼs no ʼambushʼ...”

Phantom also stroked his chin: ”Oy, donʼt say... that bastard would really do something like this!”

”Iʼve got to run, Gambler—”

Hearing this, Li Hua adjusted his glasses.

”Ha, thatʼs somewhat slanderous...”

He said calmly, as the sound of a twenty-sided die rolling echoed.

Above Li Huaʼs head, a shimmering image of a spinning die appeared.

”The moment she appeared alone, I already confirmed there was no ʼambushʼ.”

”Iʼll trouble you all—although Tycoon isnʼt here, do your best to detain these three and the people they brought!”

Li Hua said, tapping on the 【Soul Gold Brooch】.

”Coming—”

The curtain of rain in the sky seemed to tear open, and then a canvas appeared out of thin air.

From within the canvas, five figures emerged.

Phantom spat in disgust.

”Tch... five Game Masters, theyʼre really going all out. Arenʼt they afraid of problems arising in their own jurisdictions?”

A look of annoyance mixed with excitement appeared on Fishʼs face.

”Tch—good thing I prepared an extra contingency.”

”Brace yourselves, Phantom, Fluoxetine!”

After speaking, Fish clapped her hands together.

”Clap!”

After the crisp sound, a massive roar erupted.

”Boom!”

The elevated bridge shook violently, with successive explosive flashes lighting up below!
