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

Chapter 825 The Book of Hell

Although all situations are relatively controllable.

But Lin Yu had to admit...

This [copy] is indeed difficult to handle.

Just now, he was just about to collapse the image of a master that he had carefully cultivated.

If he really fainted... then things would be dangerous.

Although Lao Zheng seemed to be completely immune to the "death sleep" cast by the director of the Inquisition, he could still take over even if he fainted, so there was still room for maneuver.

But after all, that means risking your life and property on the operating level of your brain and your conscience.

Who knows if Lao Zheng will suddenly rebel?

What's more, even if Lao Zheng was very strong back then, he is now just a lonely organ after all.

and so……

It’s best to be awake.

And it was just as Lin Yu expected.

Although he kept talking about a quick resolution, after seeing that Ayu and the other man had fainted while he was still standing, the director of the Inquisition did not take any further action.

Lin Yu knew very well...

He just wanted to negotiate with himself - this was just a way of raising the stakes.

As expected, the Director of the Inquisition spoke again.

"So... Respected Lord Schreiber, although you possess the strength to challenge a monarch, and the mark within your soul bears witness to your achievements, I doubt you would be willing to be caught off guard and experience a life-or-death battle of this magnitude, would you?"

"Furthermore, the 'Original Sin Soul' is different from ordinary monarchs... It is a terrifying existence recorded in the [Book of Hell] as a destroyed upper-level dark species that once served the Demon God."

"It is also the ancestor of the Snakeborn... The so-called Snakeborn are merely the remaining bloodline of the 'Original Sin Soul'."

Lin Yu did not directly answer the question of the director of the Inquisition, but instead asked a question in return.

"What is your purpose in doing this?"

"As the head of the Inquisition in a city as big as Lilai, isn't it a privilege to be a good human being and live up to your conscience?"

"What good would it do you to risk your life to create such a monster and even transform yourself into a dark race?"

Although in the world of Night Vale, even the extraordinary people and those in power have limited resources to enjoy.

But it's better than ordinary people - delicious food, fine wine, luxurious housing, these should be readily available to the director of the Inquisition.

"Haha, Master Schreiber, I already enjoyed what you said when I was young," the Director of the Inquisition shook his head. "The reason I created this monster... is not because I have betrayed the Church or the Inquisition, but because I am searching for the 'truth'!"

"This twisted space in Lilai City is extremely special. I've come here with great effort to verify the contents of the Book of Hell... You haven't read the Book of Hell yourself, so you have no idea how great a work it is! It points directly to the truth! It reveals the truth of the world!"

Lin Yu heard the words of the director of the Inquisition. He remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he was torturing Lao Zheng madly.

"What is that [Book of Hell]?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but I do know that according to legend, in ancient times, the Abyss contained an area called 'Hell'. It was also a relatively independent plane structure, but subordinate to the Abyss."

"In Hell live the most violent, powerful, and unimaginable dark creatures of the abyss. They are a hundred times more powerful than the damn snakeborn. Ordinary demons who enter would have to cover their butts when they come out."

"Then, that place was destroyed by the gods themselves. Anyway, there was a period of time when scams were rampant in Night Vale. They took weapons from the Abyss and pretended they were artifacts 'from Hell.' These scams using the name of Hell were all the rage, and there was absolutely no real stuff. After all, there was no verification of whether this place actually existed, whether it was just a rumor or a creation of some demon.

After listening to Lao Zheng's quick explanation, Lin Yu had a clear idea in his mind and started to learn and apply it immediately.

"[Book of Hell]... What a mess! Have you been scammed by some weird gang?"

Lin Yu said sarcastically and disdainfully.

Sure enough, the proud director of the Inquisition immediately became angry.

Even though he knew that Lin Yu was deliberately trying to provoke him, how could this old man have such good self-control?

He was as furious as if he had heard that the "antique" he had bought at a high price was identified by an expert as "brand new".

"Mr. Schreiber, what do you mean by deception? Look at this 'Soul of Original Sin', how can you call that a deception? You've been in the abyss for so long, what the hell is going on?"

Lin Yu remained calm: "This is indeed remarkable, but I don't believe that this is the work of a single book... You are a genius, and this distorted space is also very special. These are enough to explain it."

The director of the Inquisition became even more furious.

"Schreiber, I've transformed into an extinct 'demon'. Can't you see? How did you get the Gold Cross?"

Lin Yu said disdainfully: "Transforming into a dark species is not a rare thing. The vampire race can also increase its members through the First Embrace."

"You're such a fucking idiot! You're such a wild adventurer! How can the First Embrace of a vampire be the same thing as my voluntary transformation?" He knelt on one knee, pulled out a ritual dagger from his bosom, and struck himself squarely on the arm, blood gushing out. "I'm going to open your eyes today!"

Magical power manipulated the blood to automatically condense into a small magic circle on the ground, and then the director of the Inquisition chanted in a low voice.

The already strong aura of the abyss became even more obvious at this time. The blood on the ground burned with a blue-green light like phosphorescence and made a crackling sound.

Afterwards, the director of the Inquisition placed some bones and crystals, and the burning eight-pointed star in the magic circle began to rotate slowly.

Then...

"Shh!"

The magic circle opened a certain passage, and blood light emerged from the ground, and the light seemed to contain a flowing strange light.

Looking closely at the blood light, it seemed as if one could see the reflection of another "burning world" in it, with the outlines of rocks and buildings, but it was not clear.

And in the middle of this bloody light...

A thick book with a dark red cover emerged.

"Have you seen it, Schreiber? This is the [Book of Hell], the supreme tome filled with truth and facts!"

"Those false gods ascended to the throne with only a little guidance from the [Book of Hell]... and I now possess it too!"

The old man shouted enthusiastically and looked at Lin Yu: "I can forgive your disrespect just now... But now that you have truly seen this book, you should understand - everything I did was right!"
