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

Chapter 277: Fu Luo’s Hidden Strength

The first time entering the Great Wasteland, Lin Yu didnʼt have any special feelings about it.

Perhaps it was because he was sitting in the specially selected vehicle chosen by Baron Coleman and many nobles of Sleepless City, with both safety and comfort levels maxed out.

After saying farewell and leaving that Pang Kedo outside the town, the special vehicle turned back and returned to Sleepless City, continuing toward Fu Luoʼs address.

During the return journey, Lin Yu didnʼt stay idle either.

He walked up to Fu Luo, who was lying on the recliner with his hat covering his face pretending to be dead, and spoke with a smile.

”Alright, friend... you should satisfy my curiosity now.”

”In your ʼPromotion Trialʼ mission, what was the third ʼwrongful caseʼ you needed to find?”

Faced with Lin Yuʼs questioning, Fu Luo couldnʼt keep pretending to be dead.

He removed the hat from his face, his eyebrows drooping as he grinned.

”Itʼs nothing much, just... that Pang Kedo we just dropped off had another wrongful case attached to him.”
”Itʼs the same one his good brother Coleman is carrying - Coleman was falsely accused of being the murderer who killed Investigator Reed, right?”

”And Coleman himself thinks that the one who actually killed Reed was Pang Kedo... which is also a huge injustice for Pang Kedo.”

”Because it definitely wasnʼt him who committed the murder.”

As Fu Luo spoke, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.

”How can you be so sure?”

”Because that guy doesnʼt use knives - although he carries one, itʼs not his preferred weapon - the standard weapons trained by the Security Departmentʼs field teams under normal circumstances, even when killing, theyʼre not accustomed to using daggers.”

”What the Security Department field teams usually deal with are out-of-control machinery and combat personnel from other companies and organizations, even mercenaries. When dealing with these ʼSleepless Cityʼ types, the killing efficiency of sharp weapons like daggers is too low... combat suits and various shields give them high protection against sharp weapons.”

”Even when dealing with unarmed researchers, on such important missions, he would definitely choose to use his most familiar weapon - while daggers are more effective against people from the Great Wasteland.”

”In other words, only Truth Corporation members who frequently deal with the madmen of the Great Wasteland are skilled with daggers.”

Fu Luo explained everything in detail.

Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo with an approving expression.

”Furbollo, you really have some skills. May wasnʼt wrong to praise you.”

Fu Luo caught his breath: ”Whew... Arenʼt you going to ask why Pang Kedo has the same face as the murderer in the ʼnotesʼ?”

”The scene was constructed based on Baron Colemanʼs memories. He had preconceived notions that Pang Kedo did it, so the memory restoration would naturally reflect that.”

Lin Yu said calmly.

Fu Luo nodded: ”Exactly, thatʼs what I think too - seems youʼre not bad either.”

”Brother May actually mentioned you to me too... At first I didnʼt connect the dots, but now it seems, when he talked about his beautiful, kind-hearted, clever, witty, and decisive female friend, it must be you!”

Fu Luo said with careful flattery.

Although his attitude was cautious, Lin Yu knew exactly how bold this guy really was.

This was outright fabrication.

When had he ever mentioned these things to Fu Luo using Mayʼs identity?

Not just Fu Luo... he hadnʼt said such things to anyone using any identity!

He wasnʼt shameless enough to praise himself so directly!

So, he spoke with a strange expression: ”Is that so? I donʼt think he would say that.”

Fu Luo examined the strange pursed-lip expression on Lin Yuʼs face, seemingly misunderstanding something, then gave an ingratiating smile.

”You know Brother Mayʼs personality - sometimes he seems quite cold, so how could he say such things to your face?”

”But your strength and beauty are objective facts. He couldnʼt completely ignore them, nor could he resist praising you - so he could only express his admiration behind your back.”

”But please donʼt tell him, otherwise he definitely wonʼt admit it and will easily guess it was me who said it.”

Lin Yu was completely exasperated.

”What kind of nonsense is this!”

At that moment, Li Nian popped her head out from behind the nearby recliner: ”Wow, youʼre that familiar with that guy whoʼs joining ʼOrderʼ?”

”I thought Brother Wang dating someone from the ʼPsychological Societyʼ was shocking enough... Youʼre not planning something even bigger, are you?”

Wang Yuyang walked over, stroking his chin: ”The ʼPsychological Societyʼ doesnʼt prohibit this, but does ʼOrderʼ allow its members to date people from the ʼFree Allianceʼ?”

Pan Yuqiang said regretfully: ”They definitely donʼt allow it...”

Chen Zhuo gave a thumbs up: ”Damn, forbidden taboo love... so shippable! Itʼs like a real-life version of Romeo and Juliet!”

Lin Yu looked at this group of people who had inexplicably gathered around for some reason, opening his mouth but no words coming out.

Although he had been meticulously planning and scripting schemes since joining the ʼDeath Gameʼ, dealing with various unexpected situations by adapting and using opponentsʼ strength against them.

Although Lin Yu didnʼt consider himself a genius who could anticipate everything, now with the ʼFraudsterʼ profession as his foundation, supplemented by various [items], he had gradually shrouded himself in mist, maximizing his safety and creating an environment conducive to his growth.

But this current situation truly exceeded Lin Yuʼs expectations.

He couldnʼt help but sigh that human effort and calculations indeed have their limits.

After living for twenty years, in the end, he found himself being the subject of fabricated gossip and rumors about himself.

Finally, he could only let out a long sigh.

”Itʼs not at all what youʼre thinking!”

But by now, prejudice had solidified like a mountain.

Fortunately, before these people could continue adding embellishments, the special vehicle arrived at Fu Luoʼs destination.

The aircraft slowly hovered and landed in a classical courtyard on a semi-slope high point in Sleepless City, where there was actually a dedicated landing pad for aircraft.

And after the aircraft landed and stabilized...

The dungeon ”ended.”

But just before the official end, before the familiar dizziness arrived...

Through the window, seeing this absolutely high-end residence, everyone looked at Fu Luo with a question.

”Where exactly is this address you entered?”

Especially Lin Yu.

So this Fu Luo guy isnʼt simple either?

But before he could prepare the appropriate wording for ”Zhu Ming” to ask the question... the feeling of weightlessness struck.

Opening his eyes again, Lin Yu had already arrived in the [Settlement Space]!

[Congratulations on passing the game ”Express Train of Despair”!]

[Calculating your rewards for this game!]

[You have obtained the basic reward: 7 days of survival time.]

This time, he didnʼt even have time to look at his additional rewards, first directly looking at Fu Luo in the [Settlement Space].

And before Lin Yu could speak, Li Nianʼs voice rang out first.

”You damn detective! You have such powerful connections in Sleepless City and Truth Corporation, why havenʼt you been using them earlier?!”
