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

Chapter 666 Escort

Under Snowy Owl's questioning, before Lin Yu began to explain, Seagull had an idea.

"Eh? Could it be that... what we need to prevent is the emergence of that underground Zhen Liuzhen."

"And you can actually go to the renamed Liu Town to complete the mission!"

As Seagull spoke, Lin Yu and Snowy Owl sighed together.

"I'm afraid not. If only it were that simple."

Lin Yu said with a sigh.

Snowy Owl also held his forehead with his hand: "I really should let Li Hua lock you up for three more weeks."

Gao Shan tried to smooth things over again: "Well, Brother Seagull also made a reasonable guess..."

"So, Ms. Yao, what exactly is the method you mentioned for us to cooperate with?"

Lin Yu spread his hands and said, "Is this difficult to understand? Of course it means literally—let us reach Liu Town without Liu Zhen appearing."

"'Out of the world' probably means bringing Liu Zhen back to light... and according to the information I've gathered, this Liu Zhen is deep within the Shuangsaw Mountains beneath our feet."

"If Liu Zhen doesn't show up, we'll go find him."

Lin Yu said calmly.

Snowy Owl lowered his head and looked at the mountain below. "It sounds simple when you put it that way, but it's like 'Putting an elephant in a refrigerator only takes three steps'... Without enough details, I can't judge whether this is feasible or not."

"Since you already know that Liu Zhen is right under your feet, you must have more information, right?"

Hearing Snow Owl's question, Lin Yu nodded.

"Of course, we did collect more information over there—just like you were initially near the bandit stronghold, we were initially near the Jinfu Escort Agency's meeting point."

"The dart you want to seize, the key mentioned in the bandits' letters, should be the one being escorted by that dart team."

"And because those escort teams were undoubtedly much more respectable than the bandits, we didn't clash with them. While interacting with them, we naturally gained a lot of useful information... Of course, the situation wasn't entirely clear to us either."

Lin Yu said slowly, "The ruins of Zhenliu Town, sunken deep in Shuangsaw Mountain, were occupied by a gigantic spider demon, almost as big as the mountain. The spider silk and spiders that are now everywhere in Shuangsaw Mountain and its surroundings are probably the work of that spider demon."

The seagull was very surprised when he heard this: "These spider silks and spiders, are there actually a leader controlling them?"

Snowy Owl also looked solemn: "A spider demon as big as a mountain? It sounds like it's not something you can easily mess with."

"Yes, according to my observation, that spider demon not only can release spider silk and spiders, but also has the ability to control people..."

As Lin Yu spoke, Snow Owl spoke again: "We've noticed this too - those bandits mentioned that there are some strange people wandering in the mountains. They look like ordinary caravans, but they are actually wandering ghosts who may disappear at any time - some have even become evil spirits and puppets, and will actively hurt people."

Lin Yu nodded. "Yes, and according to my research, this spider demon should have an ability similar to 'manipulating the past'... It turns people into puppets by manipulating the past. Of course, the price of understanding this ability is also very heavy. Almost all the friendly NPCs we met along the way were wiped out by the spider demon. They disappeared silently without a trace."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Snow Owl's expression became even more solemn: "Not only is it huge, but it also has such a difficult ability... This [copy] is really... a surprise."

Gao Shan also nodded slowly. "It seems that our best option is indeed to cooperate... Even if the cooperation plan is a bit more complicated, facing this kind of monster—six people are better than three."

"Furthermore, a demon of this level would be a great hazard if it stayed in this Prison Mountain Realm."

Even Seagull, who had seemed relatively relaxed, turned serious. "I didn't expect to encounter something of this level in this dungeon—if what you're saying is correct, the ability to manipulate the past and cause and effect involves the authority of the gods."

Lin Yu looked at the reactions of the three people and was very satisfied.

He chose to share this information first in order to use pressure to make the three people more determined to cooperate with him.

"Your mission is to 'prevent Liu Zhen from appearing'... That means someone must be working to bring Liu Zhen back to the world, and that's most likely referring to this spider demon!"

"After all... it's entrenched in the underground Willow Town, and it clearly has a symbiotic relationship with that town."

Lin Yu spoke calmly and gave his own conclusion.

"So, there is indeed a possibility that we can clear the level together - we go underground together, the three of us sneak into Liu Town, and the three of you go and kill that giant spider demon."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Haiou nodded.

"I see, it's indeed a feasible solution - happy cooperation!"

Seagull was about to reach out his hand to shake hands with Lin Yu, but his hand was slapped away by Snowy Owl.

"You're a good partner, isn't that feasible?"

Snow Owl looked at Lin Yu, feeling somewhat helpless. "I thought you were a wise general, Old Yao... Whether it's the three of you sneaking into the lair of a demon that can manipulate cause and effect, or the three of us slaying a demon the size of a mountain, this isn't a very feasible plan."

"This is just the general framework and direction. The specific implementation plan certainly doesn't involve us digging a hole and confronting it head-on right now," Lin Yu explained, looking at the Snowy Owl. "Because the core of this dungeon is... 'Dart'."

Lin Yu pointed at the gray body behind him.

"Didn't you notice this I've been carrying?"

Snowy Owl looked at the remains and said, "I noticed it, but I was afraid it was some special hobby of yours or some tragic story, so I didn't dare ask."

Seagull, watching this scene, suddenly realized, "I see... You and the Thief were actually working together to deceive us—you're also from the Free Alliance, right?!"

Lin Yu was shocked when he heard Haiou's words.

Is this guy so sharp?

But the next second, Seagull's words made Lin Yu realize that this was just a misunderstanding.

"You're the 'Embarker,' right? I know the 'Embarker' is a pretty girl with a cool, cool demeanor. She likes to carry corpses around with her... That fits your image perfectly."

Lin Yu sighed.

Before he could prove himself, Gao Shan spoke up to set the record straight for Lin Yu.

"No, I've seen the undertaker before, and he doesn't look like this."

He looked at Lin Yu and said, "So what you are carrying is the corpse of an NPC?"

"Yes, but more importantly... this is the 'dart' being escorted!"
