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

Chapter 1261: Nevernight Fire Apricot, Joining Revenge

In Lin Yu's idea, the "branch line" on the Buyetian Huoxing side was not to communicate with the head of the Buyetian family.

After all, the purpose of his meeting with the head of the Buyetian family was to ask him some questions - about the scene in the "ghost ship" seen in the gray area, and about the materialized authority that was suspected to flow out of the gray area.

In addition, what exactly happened to "Forpolo" and "Gaoshan" in the city that never sleeps.

As for the former question, although it is probably only Buyetian Yonglian himself who can answer it...but as for the latter...

Huo Xing of Buyetian, the "Fairy Queen" who controls a large number of social groups in the outer city and likes to run around in the sewers all year round, may also be a good target for investigation.

In fact, for Lin Yu, he felt that perhaps Buyetian Huoxing might know more about the matter of "Forboluo" than the head of Buyetian family.

Because... the people who took action against "Forpolo" and "Gaoshan" in the City That Never Sleeps are obviously not fools.

The other party even deliberately killed only Gao Shan in the City That Never Sleeps and did not attack Fu Luo. It is very likely that they were afraid of and wary of Fu Luo's reputation and background in the City That Never Sleeps.

Anyone who does a little research will know that Fu Luo’s greatest support and patron in the City That Never Sleeps is the head of the Buye Tian family, Buye Tian Yonglian!

Lin Yu put himself in the other person's shoes and thought that if it were him, he would definitely be wary of this almost obvious divine choice.

Compared with the head of the Buyetian family, the second lady of Buyetian, Huoxing, is, in a sense, hiding in the dark.

Especially as she just said - during this period of time, she has been working illegally for her mother in the Truth Company and engaging in alchemy research by using the identity of another minor noble.

This also means that the Nevernight Fire Apricot is indeed a hidden chess piece that is difficult to investigate.

And Lin Yu is very sure...

With Huo Xing's nature of loving to watch the fun, after she borrowed the identity of "Folpolo", she would definitely pay more or less attention to Fu Luo's movements in the City That Never Sleeps.

As Lin Yu expected, after hearing what Buyetian Huoxing said, he shook his head and spoke.

"Hmm, I actually happened to notice this—but I also heard from my mother that you and Forbolto have a good relationship, right?"

"Why are you asking me specifically, as if you're investigating him? Could it be that you're the type of person who can't accept that he has other good friends and is particularly possessive of his friends?"

Huo Xing of Buyetian said this in a light-hearted and teasing tone, like the boys in the primary school class excitedly discussing who will be so-and-so's wife in the future.

Lin Yu looked at her, his expression unchanged, and spoke in a calm and peaceful tone.

"Because he was killed in our world, one of the important purposes of my visit this time... including my contact with President Paris and my attempt to use him as a springboard to approach your mother, is to investigate who killed 'Forbolo'."

"I have reason to believe that the murderer must have had contact with him in the City That Never Sleeps not long ago."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Buyetian Huoxing was stunned.

Then she looked confused and embarrassed.

"You mean... Forbolo is dead? Killed?"

Lin Yu nodded silently.

Buyetian Huoxing bit her thumb and said, "Sorry, sorry... I didn't know this before."

"But how could it be? How could it be? Why would someone want to kill Forboluo? It's just as unreasonable as someone wanting to kill Pippi."

Huo Xing from Buyetian tugged at her hair.

Lin Yu spoke softly.

"Maybe he offended someone...because of me."

Buyetian Huoxing looked at Lin Yu: "So, are you planning to avenge him?"

Lin Yu didn't think too much and nodded subconsciously.

"Yes, and... he was murdered because he was investigating something I wanted to know. It's neither moral nor logical for me to sit idly by. Those who killed him are most likely the ones I was tracking down in the first place."

"I see, then I'll be responsible for this," Huo Xing from Buyetian suddenly became excited. "If someone kills my Pipi, I'll do my best to track down the murderer!"

Lin Yu looked at the Nevernight Fire Apricot and sighed silently: "You just said you would give it to me to eat."

"That's because I know you definitely won't eat it, so I'm just joking. And Pippi won't mind."

Buyetian Huoxing said this and opened his arms.

"Anyway—now I'm going to join your revenge plan."

Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huoxing: "If it's just for fun, I advise you not to get involved."

When Huo Xing heard Lin Yu's words, he became serious: "I didn't ask for your consent... Besides, you look down on me too much!"

"Even though I haven't met you many times, you're already my friend. You're about as important to me as one-third of Pipi," Huo Xing said seriously, gesturing. "And even though I don't know Forboluo, he's your friend, which means he's one-third of you, so about one-ninth of Pipi."

"Revenge for a friend of a friend, for one-ninth of a Pipi, is a matter of course - I don't think such things are 'fun'."

"What's more, to me, Forbolo is more than just a friend of a friend—he's also someone my sister and mother particularly love. Given time, he might even become my brother-in-law or stepfather, so he's considered half my family... No, to me, he's almost equivalent to one and a half Nevernight Sky Fire Mings or two Nevernight Sky Fire Trees."

Huo Xing of Buyetian said this seriously.

Although her words sounded a bit crazy, Lin Yu noticed that she was extremely serious.

"If you really want to help me, that's a good thing...but it's going to be very dangerous."

Nevernight Fire Apricot waved her hand nonchalantly, "It would be strange if revenge didn't come with any danger. I've already considered this."

"After all, you said the murderer had contact with him in the Nightless City... but Forpolo died in your world. So, can I assume that the other party deliberately avoided the Nightless City because they were wary of his status here?"

"If that's the case, then I still have a pretty high safety factor—after all, I'm the second daughter of the Buyetian family."

"They dare not touch Forboluo... Naturally, they dare not touch me either."

"If I join you in the investigation, you'll be safer too."
