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

Chapter 1367 You read the Raiders' Plan?

Lin Yu's words were persuasive and enticing, almost like the whispers of a devil tempting people to fall.

However, Skinner, as a member of the "Professional Committee," although currently working as a bartender, does possess extensive knowledge of psychology and relevant professional background.

Therefore, he only hesitated for a moment before immediately rejecting Lin Yu.

"Even so, it doesn't mean I'll cooperate with you or stand on your side."

Skinner even became more wary of Lin Yu's attitude.

He said this indifferently, and Lin Yu smiled and shook his head.

Lin Yu didn't expect to completely convince the other party in one meeting; he didn't have that ability yet.

But... if the other party wavers for even a moment, that will be enough.

"Don't worry, I'm just conveying an attitude to you, or rather to the members of the 'Psychological Society' I've met."

Lin Yu said calmly, "You only need to know in your hearts who is closer to the rightful successor of the first generation—I have no intention of using your power to help me seize power."

“I will confront the current ‘Freud’ fair and square and make her admit that I am the one more worthy of the title ‘Freud’.”

Lin Yu spoke with complete confidence.

Of course, Skinner saw this confidence as... a kind of "neurotic" trait.

Therefore, Skinner did not respond to Lin Yu's words, but instead looked again at Old Zheng, who remained mysterious and masked.

"So... you really are a member of the organization, and you've been persuaded by 'Schreber' and are now working for him."

Although they hadn't rehearsed their statements beforehand and Lin Yu hadn't assigned Lao Zheng an identity, Lao Zheng could guess from Skinner's misunderstanding that this was definitely the "misunderstanding" his boss wanted to see, so he didn't deny it.

"Because what he said makes sense, doesn't it?"

“The ideas he just stated are indeed closer to the original ideas of the Psychological Society,” Old Zheng paused, composed himself, and then said the second half of the sentence completely and without hesitation, “I think his ideas are indeed closer to the original Freud.”

The certification, personally issued by the original "Freud," is naturally quite valuable, but unfortunately, the current Zheng cannot reveal his identity.

Skinner sighed: "Sure enough, I'm not the first person you've approached... You've even managed to 'recruit' someone now."

"Could it be that you've infiltrated quite a few people within the 'Psychological Society'?"

As Skinner spoke, Lin Yu didn't lie and simply told him the truth with a light laugh.

"Actually, apart from the person next to me, there isn't one."

But the reason he was willing to tell the truth was naturally because Lin Yu knew that Skinner wouldn't believe him even if he did.

Skinner simply gave Old Zheng a meaningful look: "Whoever you are... take care of yourself. I admire your choice; it's a path full of arduous 'trials'."

“However, I don’t agree… but I can pretend that you and ‘Schreber’ didn’t come today.”

Skinner said, and Old Zheng said in a low voice, "Then thank you very much."

Lin Yu declined Skinner's suggestion.

"That's not necessary, because I have other things to do today besides trying to return the items."

Skinner was quite surprised: "Is there something else?"

Lin Yu nodded calmly: "Of course, it's just to return something, there's no need for me to make a special trip to the Shenzhen base, is there?"

Skinner put down his bottle of liquor, picked up a classic rock-colored glass, and poured himself a glass of water. "Isn't convincing me to join your side also a goal?"

He took a sip of water and said, half-jokingly.

Lin Yu chuckled twice in support, then said, "It is indeed a very important purpose, but I have something more important to do."

Skinner held up his cup, gesturing for Lin Yu to continue.

Lin Yu didn't keep them in suspense and went straight to the point: "The election for the president of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' is in Shenzhen, which has attracted a large number of people from 'Order' and 'Night Watchers'. 'Raiders' have also made some moves. So I want to know if the 'Psychology Society' has formulated an action plan and participated in this situation."

“After all, there are many experts and players here this time, and the situation is bound to be chaotic... Regardless of their philosophy, I think everyone would agree that this is a good opportunity to ‘test’ many high-potential individuals,” Lin Yu said, then gently tapped the bar. “Whether the ‘Psychology Society’ takes action or not, I will definitely go in to observe the situation and conduct a comprehensive assessment of the few promising talents I have my eye on... and make some adjustments to the situation as appropriate, so that they can better accept the trials and challenges.”

"Therefore, I need to confirm your movements to avoid both sides attacking at the same time, which would render the 'trial' ineffective."

“Even in this matter, our goals are not conflicting. If we can reach some kind of understanding and cooperation, it is not impossible.”

Lin Yu spoke eloquently, completely fabricating his motives out of thin air.

However, due to the mystery surrounding the name "Schreber" and the Psychological Society's apparent overestimation of the existence of this identity, Lin Yu's words did not arouse Skinner's suspicion.

After all... what Lin Yu said was extremely reasonable!

not to mention……

“We have indeed observed the movements of various organizations and have some ideas,” Skinner said frankly, “but we are still considering whether or not to take action.”

Lin Yu pretended to be very surprised.

"Why?"

"The organization just planned another major operation in Jiangcheng, destroying the 'forum' server. If you're well-informed, you probably already know about this... Even if you're not, you'll find out in a few days."

Skinner began, speaking in a very nonchalant tone.

Lin Yu nodded in agreement and said, "I do know that. It's a very good thing... Forums should have been shut down a long time ago."

"Although I don't agree with most of the actions of the Psychological Society now, I do think this is a good thing."

"But... what does this have to do with the operations here in Shenzhen?"

After Lin Yu finished his support, he asked another question.

“With insufficient manpower, the organization’s top combat forces will be ‘consumed’ for the operation in Jiangcheng, making it difficult to spare any manpower… And as you just said, the ‘Order’ and other organizations have sent top experts this time,” Skinner said carefully. “With insufficient preparation and many members in poor condition, it might not be able to create any ‘effective trials’ in this situation where many top experts from other large organizations are present.”

As Skinner was speaking, Lin Yu immediately said, "So, isn't it just right for you to cooperate with me?"

"Moreover... although you are not aware of the situation, I have already done some investigation and have a basic understanding of it—while I can't say I know the whole picture, I do know the general trends."

As Lin Yu spoke, he looked at Skinner.

"So... there's no need to hide my arrival. On the contrary, I even need you to convey a message to the other members of the 'Professional Committee' and even the 'Council' to tell them about my arrival, my intention to cooperate, and my sincerity in cooperating."

Skinner countered, "Your sincerity?"

"Of course, since we're here to discuss cooperation, especially after some unpleasantness in our previous interactions, I'll naturally take the initiative to show my sincerity," Lin Yu said with a smile. "Anyway... according to my investigation, the 'Raiders' operation is roughly divided into three parts. Their main objective is to directly storm the venue on the fourth and fifth days of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' election, during the general election."

"The team led by 'Ten-King' is responsible for directly rushing into the scene, presumably to kill certain members of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' and seize the 'Items' set left behind by 'Ni-O'."

“Lingxian and Ayu are responsible for restraining the defensive forces of Order and Night Watch, respectively.”

"The 'Diviner' himself doesn't seem to be involved, but he left methods of assistance for 'Ling Xian' and 'A Yu' respectively."

Lin Yu casually revealed the rough layout of the "Raiders" to Skinner, as if they were having a casual chat.

Skinner, who was drinking water, realized halfway through the conversation how important it would be if what Lin Yu had casually said were true. She quickly put down her cup and started writing it down in her phone's notes app.

Then, he looked at Lin Yu with some surprise.

“This doesn’t fall into the category of ‘simple understanding’ or ‘general trend’.”

This is practically equivalent to having peeked into the Raiders' internal operational plans.

and……

This is only part of "showing sincerity".

It's like offering samples at a pastry shop.

This indicates that the other side actually possesses more and more detailed intelligence than this.

Seeing Skinner's astonished expression, Lin Yu realized that his plan had worked and the other party's reaction was exactly what he had expected.

So he nodded very calmly and spoke in a low voice.

“You can choose not to cooperate with me, but you can still obtain some intelligence from me—after all, I would like to see the Psychological Society take action.”

"However, after obtaining information from me, I hope your actions will not interfere with my work."

As Lin Yu spoke, Skinner nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Old Zheng behind Lin Yu again.

"But I don't understand, why do you insist on having me deliver this message?"

"Don't you already have at least one person in the organization with whom you've established a cooperative relationship?"

Lin Yu shook his head.

"Don't overthink it, Skinner."

"I came to you about this matter simply because... you happen to be in charge of Shenzhen, that's all."
