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

Chapter 264 Rewind

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Baron Coleman couldn't help but frown: "You said no one deliberately framed me, what do you mean?"

Lin Yu said calmly.

"Literally, because even if we remove you, the 'unexpected variable' who shouldn't be here, this is still a nearly perfect chamber, isn't it?"

"I don't know that much about crime, but I think in this case the principle of 'Occam's razor' still applies - do not multiply entities beyond necessity."

"You were a newly promoted A-level manager at the time. If they wanted to frame you, they definitely couldn't have made a plan with so many 'uncertainties'."

"The man died an hour ago. What would have happened if you hadn't come?"

"But if we look at it from another perspective, you were just an 'accident' in this plan... The murderer's original intention was to use the time difference to clear all traces of his entry here, and then make everyone unknown about the murderer's identity."

Lin Yu stated calmly and made a summary at the end.

"In other words, Baron Coleman, although it may be difficult for you to accept it at the moment...but the injustice that led to your downfall..."

"Just because you're a bit unlucky."

Fu Luo slapped his thigh.

"Oh my god, that actually makes sense."

He looked at Zhu Ming, his eyes full of admiration: "You are worthy of being my good friend. You said you are not good at reasoning, but this is not bad at all!"

"I'm just more familiar with the operating patterns and characteristics of power struggles within large organizations. This incident happens to involve the common tactic of 'blaming others'," Lin Yu said calmly. "I'm not very good at logical reasoning."

He tried hard to maintain Zhu Ming's personality.

Regarding "power struggle" and "blaming others"... Lin Yu only has a vague understanding of it.

He just watched two power struggle dramas with many veteran Chinese and foreign actors while honing and studying his acting skills, and learned some related knowledge by the way.

As Baron Coleman, who once climbed to the top...even though the assassination of President Paris made him look like a radical militant, he must be considered a veteran and expert in political intrigue.

After hearing Lin Yu's explanation, he reacted instantly.

In fact, even before Lin Yu finished explaining, Coleman had already roughly realized this possibility.

But understanding it and being able to accept it are two different things.

Even the smooth and mature Baron Coleman still found it difficult to accept this almost cruel truth.

"So... I was dragged into this matter out of pure 'bad luck'?"

He muttered, a wry smile on his face.

From a promising A-level manager to a prisoner on the train of despair, although this was not the cause, there were many twists and turns in between that Lin Yu was not aware of yet...

But there is no doubt that this is indeed the beginning.

If this incident had not happened, Baron Coleman would not have taken the desperate step of assassinating President Paris.

So, after discovering that the beginning of all this was an unreasonable "joke of fate", Lin Yu understood Baron Coleman's somewhat frustrated mood.

Fu Luo also sighed and said with emotion: "Sometimes it's just like this... We are all unlucky people who are teased by fate. I didn't expect that the consequences of investigating a cheating incident would be so serious that I would end up in this hellish place."

Lin Yu understood that Fu Luo was probably talking about the "Death Game".

I didn’t expect that this guy was “killed” because of investigating a cheating case.

After knowing this, Lin Yu patted Fu Luo's shoulder to comfort him.

"It's not easy for you either."

Although in terms of unluckyness, I was the most unlucky - I was shot to death by a murderer on the run from a mental hospital while rehearsing late at night.

At this time, Punkto also stepped forward to comfort his old friend.

"This does sound unacceptable, but..."

Before Punkto could finish his clumsy words, the depressed Coleman suddenly cheered up.

"It's okay. I'm fine now."

He suddenly regained his spirits and stood up straight away.

Even Lin Yu was shocked.

"Why did you suddenly cheer up?"

Fu Luo looked at Pang Keduo: "I'm afraid it's because of this old guy's comfort - it seems that your relationship later on might be very close?"

Punkto was a little surprised: "Really?"

Baron Coleman waved his hand: "You're overthinking it. Although we have a good relationship... I don't consider you a spiritual pillar or anything like that."

"Although your consolation did work just now, the main reason I cheered up was because I saw that you, who was even worse off than me and had hundreds of times more misfortune, still stood firm. So I felt a little encouraged!"

Baron Coleman said.

Fu Luo spoke helplessly.

"So that's how it works!"

Punkto was also a little confused.

"Ah? How unlucky was I later?"

"That's more than just bad luck. Look at your current situation. Half-crazy, half-amnesiac, you've gone from being a team leader to an exiled criminal." Baron Coleman smiled. "Don't you think that's bad enough?"

"It's quite tragic to say that, but it seems to be a blessing that I have lost my memory. I don't feel anything about it yet."

Punkto sighed.

"Alright, enough talk. Even if I'm 'unlucky,' I have to find the real culprit now," Baron Coleman said coldly. "Even if they didn't initially intend to frame me, later on... it seems they took advantage of my situation."

As he spoke, Fu Luo touched his chin.

"Hmm...how do we investigate this?"

"The other party's authority is obviously higher than yours. At least the entry and exit records that you can't clear out can be cleared out by the other party."

"Surveillance footage or something like that... I'm afraid it would be difficult to leave any evidence—even if this was the headquarters of the Truth Company eight years ago."

As Fu Luo spoke, Baron Coleman also sighed: "It's indeed a bit tricky."

Punkto also felt very regretful: "It would be better if the time node could be moved forward a little bit. The current scene seems to be after Coleman left."

Lin Yu couldn't help but complain about Pang Keduo's statement: "After all, it is constructed based on his memory. If the time goes further back... maybe he can see the crime scene directly."

"Can the [Ancient Notes] really go back an hour or two? Then what's the difference between this thing and the [Artifact]?"

But when Lin Yu finished speaking...

Everyone suddenly felt that the noisy noises from various instruments in the laboratory suddenly became distorted and weird.

just like……

In "Rewind"!

They seemed to be forcibly pulled out of this world, and turned from participants into spectators.

And soon...

They saw the panicked young version of Baron Coleman walking backwards through the corridor back into the laboratory!

"You can really rewind it?!"
