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

Chapter 837 The Truth and the Plan

The scene where the master and apprentice of the Sacred Relics School started shooting at each other after a disagreement shocked the other players, including Lin Yu.

However, no one helped A Yu.

After all, after Huang's explanation of his strength, everyone knew very well that Gary Tontice's combat power was definitely greater than that of everyone currently present.

Even without this bit of science, the fights between him and A Yu were mostly "playful" in nature.

A Yu only used [Grace], and every shot of [Grace] was hit in the air by the bullet fired by Gary's revolver, accurately offsetting it.

After shooting for several minutes, A Yu finally felt tired and put down the flintlock in his hand.

"You old man, it's a rare opportunity to see you in Night Vale, and you're just causing me trouble," Ah Yu said indignantly. "You want to take our spoils just by talking to us... If you keep doing this, I won't leave. I'll stick with you—you have to compensate me with one of the dark creatures so I can pass the level!"

Ah Yu said, looking at the others: "Each of you can choose one of the remaining four and kill it. This is my master, I can directly rely on him!"

"Sister Yu is so particular! She's so loyal!"

Aoi gave Sister Yu a thumbs up.

Afterwards, Ah Yu looked at Gary Tangtes angrily and said, "I really don't know what treasures a snakeborn can have!"

Unexpectedly, Gary Thompson shook his head again after hearing what A Yu said.

"No, Ayu, I don't need you to stay... Actually, there's only one person who can stay."

As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Yu who was beside A Yu.

Ah Yu glanced at Lin Yu, then looked at Gary Thompson: "Ha, old man, you really know how to choose!"

"You've chosen the only one who saved my life and helped me so much in this [Instance]!"

"I'm telling you this today. Apart from Sister Yu and I, none of the other four will stay here!"

Gary Tangtes was also a little annoyed by Ah Yu: "You idiot, every decision your master makes has its reasons... If you threaten me again, I will kill all five snake descendants here!"

"Don't even think about leaving!"

Ah Yu crossed his arms and said, "Alright, go ahead and kill them. I'll bring them all along to blame you. If you don't admit it, I'll go find Senior Brother Kasai. At worst, I'll find a big city and lie down in front of the gates of the Church of Compassion or Life. Let everyone know that you, the legendary adventurer and founder of the Sacred Artifact School, bullied your own disciples!"

"Old man, I'm going to fight you today!"

Seeing Ah Yu being so stubborn, Gary Tangtes was furious: "Why would I accept someone as my idiot if you don't even understand what I'm saying?"

"Didn't you beg me to worship you?"

Ah Yu said unhappily.

Seeing that the master and disciple were about to start arguing again, Lin Yu calmly interrupted.

"Sister Yu, forget it—just leave."

"Then what are you going to do?" Ah Yu looked at Lin Yu and asked seriously, "After we leave, how are you, a Level 2 cultivator, going to pass the test?"

"I'm a 'Second Level', not a novice who hasn't leveled up yet. With the [Golden Cross Medal] in hand, I can easily escape from Lilai City... I can just find a city with a sane director of the Inquisition and find an excuse to kill a weak, dying dark race member."

Lin Yu said calmly.

"What if this old man Deng is bad for you? I tell you, he's very treacherous!"

A Yu pointed at Gary Townsend and said seriously.

"It's okay. I believe him. After all, he is the greatest adventurer of mankind," Lin Yu said seriously. "Being 'insidious' to the dark race is called wisdom and strategy... Mr. Gary Towntes would never use his calculations on humans."

"Besides, Mr. Gary Townsend never said he wouldn't care about my clearance, right?"

Lin Yu looked at Gary Townsend, and the old man nodded.

"Yeah, Ah Yu... I told you that the dark race is everywhere, and what I meant was that it wouldn't be difficult to find another one for you!"

Gary Thompson said this unhappily, but A Yu was still skeptical.

"Then find it first!"

"There's no time for that! The barriers are gone now. Soon, people from the three major churches and the Marlow Empire will all be here!"

Gary said helplessly again.

"Alright, just leave anyway—we're all human, how could I possibly harm you?"

Gary said this, changing his tone to one that left no room for doubt.

Now that things had come to this, and Lin Yu had no objection, the four players, although reluctant, still killed the dying snake on the ground.

After the snake descended from the sky, their figures quickly disappeared from the spot.

Raymond had already started guarding the door outside.

So, in an instant, only Lin Yu and Gary Townes were left in the room.

After A Yu left, Gary Townsend's pretended relaxed demeanor disappeared and his face became serious.

"Sir, who exactly are you?"

Just as Lin Yu expected...

From the very beginning, Gary Townsend was targeting him.

"Same as your disciple, player."

Lin Yu looked at Gary Townsend and said calmly.

"That's not what I'm talking about. You should know why I'm here." Gary Dantes pulled a bloody finger from his pocket and threw it on the ground. "The director of the Inquisition here, Netssanchi, must have reached some kind of deal with you, right?"

"Did you kill him?"

Lin Yu asked back curiously.

"No, he's not innocent, but his crime isn't punishable by death," Gary said casually. "Besides, I want to see how far that 'Original Sin Soul' can grow. After all, in ancient times, its upper limit was pillar-level, and it might bring changes to the Abyss... If we want to eradicate the dark race and level the Abyss, we can't rely on our own strength alone."

"It seems that you have known his plan for a long time and have been staying in Lilai City."

Lin Yu suddenly realized.

"That's why your change makes me curious," Gary looked at Lin Yu and said in a deep voice, "This death sleep spell wasn't cast by those five snake descendants at all. It was cast by the 'Original Sin Ghost'... You asked him to hypnotize everyone in Lilai City for you."

"Furthermore, those five snakeborn weren't actually here to snatch the Original Sin Soul. He had already made a deal with the snakeborn long ago—those five snakeborn were already under his control."

"His original plan today was to have the Serpentborn pretend to invade Lilai City, taking the opportunity to release the 'Original Sin Soul'. He would then fabricate a 'false origin' for the Original Sin Soul, making everyone believe that the Serpentborn's arrival caused the Original Sin Soul's appearance in Lilai City, thereby legitimizing his detention of the 'Original Sin Soul'."

"However, not only did your appearance ruin his plans, but you also made him willingly give you five snakeborn as a 'gift' - this is truly a remarkable skill!"
