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

Chapter 241: Punkto's Persistence

After hearing Pan Yuqiang's explanation, Lin Yu instantly understood why there would be an organization like "gang" on the Despair Train, a train that encourages trapped people to kill each other, and why it could even grow to a size of more than ten people.

Because there is a greater external threat!

This mechanism made Lin Yu have to admire the senior management of "Truth Company".

No matter who designed the internal mechanism of the despair train, it is indeed a system that will continue to make the "passengers" inside feel negative emotions.

Even the best option - on the one hand, it encourages killing each other and arouses hatred and anger among each other.

On the other hand, the "big purge" every three days forces them to stick together for warmth, maintain a certain organizational structure, keep them suspicious and fearful in their daily lives, and even may cause "betrayal" incidents that can generate huge amounts of negative emotions.

It is really inhumane, but it is also too "efficient" for the "Despair Train" to harvest negative emotions.

The passengers on this car are living a more miserable life than the players in the "Death Game".

Moreover, if Lin Yu guessed correctly...

"Every time new people are deployed, it's after the 'Great Purge', right?"

Lin Yu spoke calmly and Pan Yuqiang nodded.

"Yes, the thing that Never Sleeps City lacks the most is consumables called 'people'. Every three days, Truth Company and its surroundings can gather a dozen or so unlucky people to throw onto the bus."

"There are only six of us on the bus this time...it's actually a special situation."

As Pan Yuqiang spoke, Li Nian touched his chin.

"Well, but besides the relatively fragile 'Airport Gang' that you just destroyed, are there any other forces on this train?"

"Most factions are very fragile. Those that survive for more than a month without being wiped out or banned are considered to have a long history... Currently, besides the recently wiped-out Airport Gang, there's also the newer group that's survived five major purges, the Lion Gang, which occupies dining car number 6; and two older groups, the Blue Bloods and the Iron Thorn Gang, who jointly occupy dining car number 9."

"I haven't really inquired about the specifics of these groups... but they all have a powerful figure known as 'The Baron' behind them. The Airport Gang's communicator most likely came from the Baron."

"That's all I've learned."

Pan Yuqiang told the last information she knew.

Chen Zhuo immediately sighed, "It's just a small train, with only a hundred or so people on it, all of whom were arrested and imprisoned as human batteries... To think it's become so complicated and factionalized."

"And the man behind this is called 'The Baron'. It makes the whole thing feel a bit epic."

Hearing Chen Zhuo's sigh, Li Nian shook his finger: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Fatty, you are still too young."

"You're also in school. Don't you have any factions among the twenty or so people in your class?"

Chen Zhuo was stunned for a moment: "There are indeed various small groups in our class, but there are more than 50 people in a class..."

Then Li Nian reacted: "Oh yes, you went to a public school."

Lin Yu looked at Li Nian, sighed, and said half-jokingly: "You are not a rat who can't bear to see others happy. I will fight with you, a young lady who attends an aristocratic middle school."

She tapped her head, stuck out her tongue, and made a Fujiya-like expression to get away with it.

"That's what I mean..."

Wang Yuyang was thinking about other issues.

"Hmm, are there three other similar gangs? If we kill them all, can we get enough money to buy the 'ticket'?"

He lightly outlined some very extreme plan.

Lin Yu, Li Nian and Chen Zhuo stopped joking instantly and looked at Wang Yuyang together with Pangduo.

"I don't think so, Yuyang."

Before others could decide on their words of persuasion, Pan Yuqiang spoke first.

Wang Yuyang listened to the advice and accepted the fact that his proposal was rejected by his girlfriend without even asking why.

"Ok."

He nodded in response.

In order to prevent Wang Yuyang from proposing any more unfeasible plan, Lin Yu coughed lightly.

"In short, most of these gangs occupy food trucks... probably because of the convenience of 'transportation' and 'communication'—this shows that there is a certain superficial peace between the gangs."

"The gangs occupying other food trucks haven't come to the Airport Gang's territory, so it might not be clear what's happening here for the time being."

"Perhaps we can impersonate them and pose as new members of the Airport Gang to negotiate with other gangs and obtain information about the Baron."

"Regarding 'tickets', perhaps 'Baron' knows more."

Lin Yu spoke seriously, and Li Nian raised his hand instantly.

"I second the motion."

The others had no objection either.

The group prepared to set off and went to dining car No. 9 to inquire about the gang entrenched there.

However, before setting off... Chen Zhuo seemed to realize something and suddenly spoke.

"But speaking of which, the three of us boarded carriage 13...and why is dining car 12 empty?"

Chen Zhuo raised a question.

Hearing Chen Zhuo's question, Lin Yu and Li Nian sighed together.

They both realized this a long time ago, but Wang Yuyang and Pan Yuqiang didn't ask, so they just kept it vague.

After all...both Lin Yu and Li Nian had already guessed the possibility that there was something special about the dining car No. 12 near them.

Sure enough, after being reminded by Chen Zhuo, Pan Yuqiang spoke in a somewhat strange tone.

"Huh? I thought you guys already understood what was going on."

"According to the Airport Gang, the newcomers coming up from cars 13 and 14 should be ignored, and dining car 12 should be avoided as much as possible."

"Because there's an incredibly powerful madman lurking in Dining Car 12, almost like an entire force, and he's hunting everyone indiscriminately—didn't you guys get rid of him?"

Wang Yuyang reacted and looked at Punkto von Valetti.

"I thought this guy was a newcomer who got on the bus just like you guys and was rescued by you!"

Lin Yu sighed: "Yes, he is the madman, but please rest assured, he is not sick now and is quite safe."

Wang Yuyang looked at Li Nian, and the little girl raised her hand instantly.

"Brother Wang, I have absolutely no intention of concealing anything. I just feel that... less trouble is worse than more."

"Given your temper, I'm afraid you'd have to fuck him if you knew."

Wang Yuyang nodded.

"You're right—I really don't feel comfortable putting such a time bomb in the team."

"Even though he knows some of the inner workings of Truth Company, I still believe... the risks of this move far outweigh the benefits."

Pangduo sensed Wang Yuyang's hostility and became alert.

"I really can't guarantee that I can stay sober all the time. It's okay if you don't believe me."

"But...if you insist on not wanting to act with me, I can't accept it."

Punkto said, looking at Lin Yu with a firm gaze.

"This woman has what I want, and she was the one who invited me to join her."

"I won't leave this team unless she asks me to."
