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

Chapter 829 Ayu's Invitation

"According to the director of the Inquisition, the dark creature he developed, called the 'Original Sin Revenant', is a creature that uses a monarch-level Serpentborn as its body and stitches together the souls of dozens of dark creatures. It is the ancestor of all Serpentborn, and therefore the Serpentborn also regard it as a belief and totem."

"Although he created this thing out of a desire to 'seek the truth'... when the Serpentborn followed his scent and came to him, he planned to use this thing to control the entire Serpentborn race."

"So... the shield above Lilai City right now was actually created by the Serpentborn. And within the city, five powerful Serpentborn are lurking, waiting for an opportunity to seize the 'Original Sin Soul' underground."

Lin Yu told A Yu everything he heard from Netssanchi, the director of the Inquisition.

After hearing this, Ah Yu also showed an expression of realization.

"I see. So all this chaos is the work of the Serpentborn, and the reason the Serpentborn are doing this is... because of the conspiracy instigated by the head of the Inquisition, right?"

"We actually managed to get rid of the biggest boss without even realizing it."

Ah Yu said, a joyful expression on his face: "Now, those three guys will owe us a big favor...Aha, of course, Schreiber, you have great potential, I won't take the credit for your work - after all, you are my savior."

"I can't believe you, a 'Second Level', are so powerful... How interesting."

Ah Yu patted Lin Yu's shoulder, and Lin Yu said modestly: "Sister Yu, what are you talking about? I'm just lucky."

"It's not just luck that's happening," Ah Yu said, supporting his chin with one hand and sitting up cross-legged. "I say, are you interested in joining us?"

"'Sacred Relic School'?... If your teacher doesn't mind, Sister Yu, I can recommend it to you."

Lin Yu said with a smile.

Ah Yu looked at Lin Yu and smiled even brighter. "Ahahahahaha... Schreiber, you're pretending to be confused even though you know the truth. Of course, I'm not talking about the organization I belong to in Night Vale."

She leaned forward slightly, and the ornaments on her head rustled, like chopsticks being stirred and washed and colliding with each other.

"If you have any doubts, you can just reject me directly...Are you worried about the reputation of our organization?"

Lin Yu scratched his face awkwardly: "Your organization doesn't have a bad reputation..."

"Haha, don't try to play it on me. I don't even know what the 'Predators' are like. They're full of double-dealing, greedy, unscrupulous people with no moral bottom line. Even if it were me...if you hadn't been with Huang in the beginning and helped me, I'd probably have been thinking about killing you, a 'second-level' one, to prevent you from getting in the way," Ah Yu said nonchalantly and frankly. "I've personally killed about... forty? Fifty? I can't remember for sure!"

"This organization was originally created to fight against 'Order'... If it weren't for those guys from 'Order', we might not even need to band together for warmth... Well, at least we 'Predators' don't need such a large scale."

Ah Yu looked at Schreiber and said, "Are you a little curious as to why I, a member of the Predators and even a high-ranking member, would make such an evaluation?"

Lin Yu did not reply, but waited for A Yu to continue.

Ah Yu really didn't care about Lin Yu's answer and continued to talk to himself: "Because although the 'Predator' doesn't conform to the common sense of morality...but I think that in the 'Death Game', universal values ​​should be applied. That love is really sick!"

"To put it bluntly, everyone who joins the 'Plunderers' shares a core understanding... that we've all entered a 'death game.' As 'players' who must participate in a 'dungeon' every week, we're still expected to follow friendly rules... This in itself is disgusting enough."

"It's clear that if you don't become stronger, you'll die. If you're still concerned about other people's lives at this time, aren't you playing with your own life?... If you have your eye on [Props] or NPCs, you should grab them by any means necessary—they're your chance to survive in the future."

"In this game, only the strong can survive."

"We don't live in a normal world, this is a cruel game, and yet we pretend to be civilized and pretend that all players are friendly. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"It's fine if you can't bring yourself to kill your friends and acquaintances, but it's ridiculous that you have to be friendly to other players you don't know, and even can't kill them even if you have an argument!"

"Even if we don't count the natives who were killed... who among those who have experienced the [Confrontation Dungeon] hasn't had the blood of other players on their hands?"

"We can kill people in the [Competition Dungeon] because we have to... but since we joined this damn game, we've been forced to do so every day!"

"So... those players who choose to accept the rules of 'Order' are nothing more than mediocre people."

Ah Yu looked at Lin Yu with a piercing gaze: "And you, Schreiber, I can see that you are actually a 'strong man'. You have fighting power, means, and ambition..."

"I must admit that we 'plunderers' have no way to completely counter 'Order', but as long as you join us, the restrictions you will face will be greatly reduced!"

"Of course, whether you join us or not, I, Ayu, will always consider you a friend. There is no doubt that we have a personal friendship."

A Yu continued speaking and finally completed his lobbying.

Lin Yu also pretended to think about it, and then spoke.

"Sister Yu, what you said is very good. I actually agree with these concepts. This game shouldn't be like playing house." Lin Yu paused here. "However, I won't join the 'Predators', and it's definitely not because I don't agree with your organizational philosophy..."

"It's just that you should know that I said that I was able to thrive in this 'Death Game' because of the guidance and help of a certain senior," Lin Yu said, spreading his hands. "So... I have always been determined to join his organization, but I haven't had the chance yet."

"So, while I may appear to have no organization, I actually already have one I want to join... Therefore, I can't join the 'Predators'."

Upon hearing this, Ah Yu was quite magnanimous: "Well, if that's the case, then there's nothing we can do!"

She didn't seem unhappy about being rejected by Lin Yu, and just waved her hand.

"Let's not talk about anything else besides this [Instance]... How are we going to clear it next?"
