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

Chapter 186: Deciphering the Riddle

Li Hua's appearance shocked everyone except Lin Yu.

"It's the 'Gambler'!"

"The administrator of Haicheng actually came in person?!"

"what is happening?"

Only Lin Yu was not surprised.

After all, one of the guests invited by "Fluoxetine" was Li Hua, so there was no way this guy wouldn't come.

Amidst everyone's confused and doubtful gazes, Li Hua began to explain.

"Everyone, the reason I came here is because..."

"During my last dungeon, I received an invitation from a member of the Psychology Society—a master on my level, but also an extremely dangerous lunatic."

"She invited me to meet her in Jiangcheng, but she didn't specify the time and place... She told me in the form of a 'riddle'."

"I will be waiting for you above the rainbow at dusk in Jiangcheng, on a night when thirty silver coins jingle—those are her exact words."

Li Hua spoke slowly, then wrote this sentence on a whiteboard he casually took out and placed it on the table.

"According to my current speculation and that of several others within the organization, the time should be 'Thursday evening'."

“And the location is not yet known.”

"Also receiving this invitation are Ah Yu from the Plunderers, Luo Bo from the Players' Mutual Aid Association, Zhi Geng from the Night Watch, the Magician from the Free Alliance, and... the bounty hunter Mosin Nagant."

Li Hua called out names one after another.

Although those ordinary "Order" members and most of the outsourced personnel who were called in were shocked again, they obviously did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

But the six captains, including Gao Shan, suddenly became very serious.

Originally, they had somewhat thought that such a large-scale deployment was a typical saturation mobilization of "Order"...

But now it seems that it may not be safe.

The captain of Jiangcheng's first team, a middle-aged man in his late fifties with thick eyebrows and a balding head, spoke up.

"Comrade Li Hua, were all these people invited at the same time as you?"

Li Hua nodded.

"We're all in the same instance, and we were all present when she invited us. So, the Psychology Society has big plans this time."

Gao Shan was also shocked when he heard this.

"So many experts... The last instance of 'Gambler' was truly dangerous!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu nodded.

It was indeed dangerous, and the gambler almost died.

At this time, another captain who seemed to be on loan from Haicheng spoke angrily!

"Captain Li, you're keeping this news a secret for a while—you should have announced it sooner. Let's call more people from Haicheng!"

"It's fine if it's just the Psychology Society, but even that son of a bitch Qian Huan might come... Isn't this catching them all in one fell swoop?"

The captain of Haicheng is about the same age as Lin Yu, but he looks very irritable.

Moreover, from his words, it seemed that he and Li Hua were old acquaintances.

Li Hua glared at him.

"Kuang Dao, be quiet!"

"You're already captain, but you're still so unreliable. I think you're tired of being captain and ready to go back to the grassroots!"

When Kuang Dao heard Li Hua's scolding, his momentum instantly weakened a lot.

He touched his buzz cut and shrank his neck. "Captain Li, I think they're determined to cause trouble. We came here to support Jiangcheng... We came here on our own, with nothing. Even the team members were gathered from all over..."

As soon as Kuang Dao said this, the dozen or so players around Lin Yu who were pulled here just like him were obviously unhappy.

Especially those who were pulled here by Kuang Dao.

Before any of the players could lash out, Li Hua reluctantly tried to smooth things over.

"How many of your team members are first-level? Are you bringing them here to cause trouble and get killed?"

"You know Jiangcheng is in dire straits right now... The situation here is unique. The position of Jiangcheng's 'Captain' has been vacant for two months since his death, and the Jiangcheng 'Administrator' has barely taken any action."

"Besides, being able to mobilize three captains is already the limit... If we mobilize a large number of personnel to Jiangcheng, how do you know that the 'Predators' and the 'Psychological Society' won't lure the tiger away from the mountain and take advantage of the situation?"

"So, we still have to rely on these masters with a sense of justice to help us!"

Li Hua said a few words and Kuang Dao instantly became obedient.

The other players lost their temper after being helped by Li Hua, and even felt a little happy about it.

After all, although they are not members of "Order", the fact that they were called here today shows that they all have a good relationship with the captain of "Order".

Therefore, most of them do have a sense of justice, and many are even players who are currently participating in the "Order" assessment.

Lin Yu couldn't help but admire.

Sure enough, the Li Hua I saw in the "copy" before was too one-sided.

He only saw the calm, cold, righteous, and responsible side of this "gambler"...

Now it seems that Li Hua has a good grasp of the ways of the world.

Seizing this opportunity, Lin Yu raised his hand.

"Excuse me, Mr. Li Hua, I have a question."

"How did you confirm that the appointment time was Thursday evening?"

Faced with Lin Yu's question, Li Hua was somewhat relieved to get the topic back on track.

"It's very simple, because the riddle is actually not very difficult. She didn't mean to make things difficult for us."

"'Thirty silver coins' clearly refers to a religious allusion..."

"Judas betrayed Jesus."

Lin Yu replied immediately.

"Yes, it's 'Judas Betrays Jesus,'" Li Hua nodded. "And because the 'dungeon cycle' is one week, most players are actually used to using a certain day of the week as the agreed time..."

"And regarding the date of our Savior Jesus, many will tell you what day of the week it is."

"For example, for Good Friday, judging by the Easter and other related festivals, it happens on a Friday!"

"Although the exact date of Judas' betrayal of Jesus is unknown, it fits the time of 'the jingling of thirty denarii'. There is a very famous event that happened at night..."

"'The Last Supper'!"

"It's also Maundy Thursday, a major Christian holiday called 'Good Thursday.'"

Li Hua spoke calmly, and everyone present was convinced.

"I see!"

Lin Yu knew very well that the puzzle was indeed not difficult for the people of "Order".

But the location...

Maybe we have to take an extra detour.

Li Hua coughed lightly and said, "So, since we can confirm that the time is 'Thursday evening', we still need to solve the mystery of 'location' within this limited time!"

"The answer should be hidden in the first half of the riddle."

"If anyone can solve this problem or has an idea, please let me know... I'll pay you extra for it."

Hearing Li Hua's words, Lin Yu held his chin slightly.

"Would you like to try to earn this reward?"

After all, as the person who set the question, he must know the answer!
