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

Chapter 577 C-77 The Real Employer of the Commission

Art Mercury fell into a deep sleep again, but this time...

He definitely won't wake up.

After Allan Mercury left, Lin Yu had already felt the power of "belief" emerging - although it was not enough to cover the fact that Art Mercury was alive, but when more and more nobles woke up and more and more "belief" gathered, then Art Mercury would be able to truly obtain eternal peace.

At this moment, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge rock had fallen from his heart.

At present, most of the "Level Up Trial" has been completed, and he is only one step away from the "Second Level".

"Thank you so much this time, Lao Zheng... You are truly the biggest contributor this time."

Without borrowing Lao Zheng's ability and Lao Zheng's help in resisting Alan Mercury, Lin Yu's plan would definitely fail in the face of Alan Mercury's absolute violence just now.

It is true that Alan Mercury gave up his obsession because of his brother's words, but if Lin Yu could not withstand the first wave of offensive from the aggressive Alan, he would not be able to create a situation for him to have a dialogue with Art Mercury.

So, Lao Zheng really made an indelible contribution.

Although he almost fainted from exhaustion, Old Zheng started to be stubborn again after recovering.

"It's okay, buddy. Besides, I'm just helping out. Do you think I'm really tired? That's hilarious. I'm a Level 3 expert. Just a little help."

Then, Lao Zheng paused and said again, "But next time, don't play it so suspensefully... Everything else is fine, but the last thing you do is retreat—what if Art gets up and coughs?"

"Besides, there's no point in retreating early!"

Lin Yu curled his lips: "Who told you it's meaningless?"

"Wouldn't it be the same if you waited for Art to start talking to his brother before asking me to remove the body?"

"What's the point of you removing the body in advance, other than trying to look cool?"

Old Zheng asked in confusion.

Lin Yu answered softly: "Of course it's to make you 'give up' the thread... You almost used up all your mental energy just now."

"So, I asked you to remove the body so that I could free up my mental strength to deal with any emergencies... After all, I'm not sure Art would say what I expect."

As Lin Yu spoke, Lao Zheng was stunned for a few seconds before realizing what Lin Yu wanted to do.

If Art had not asked Alan to stop and continue to be firm, Lin Yu would have instantly used his mental power to manipulate the other party and made him behave according to the script that Lin Yu expected.

"Fortunately, he is a gentleman who speaks his mind," Lin Yu sighed, "The Shuiyin family's family tradition is much better than that of the Buyetian family."

"You're truly terrifying," said Old Zheng, who had been deeply moved by the brothers' farewell. "Honestly, I now believe your joining the Order is merely a temporary solution. Someone like you is clearly more suited to our Psychological Society or the Free Alliance."

Lin Yu did not respond to Lao Zheng.

Anyway, Lao Zheng is following me, and sooner or later he will find out... that I have really joined these two places.

However, Lin Yu did not agree with Lao Zheng's evaluation of him.

"I'm just doing my best to complete the mission. This 'Level Up Trial' is so difficult, how can I spare the energy to care about these guys' feelings?"

Lin Yu said with a sigh.

"Even if Art Mercury can be completely 'killed' soon, even now, we are still one step away from completing this 'Ascension Trial'."

"After all, this 'Level Up Trial' will only be complete when I receive the reward for the mission entrusted by C-77."

"And the employer of this commission... is also quite a troublesome guy."

Lin Yu sighed, and Lao Zheng was very surprised.

"Do you know who it is?"

"Of course," Lin Yu looked towards the corner. "Buyetian Huoxing, I know you didn't go far—that's just a temporary hole dug out in the ground. It can't lead to the underground pipeline."

From under the lifted floor tiles in the corner of the auditorium, the Nevernight Fire Apricot popped its head out.

"Hey, you're really amazing... How did you know that?"

"First of all, if the people who built the Nevernight Manor had any sense, the 'pipeline' you usually use would definitely not pass directly under the Nevernight family auditorium..."

"Secondly, I still don't believe you'd ignore this excitement."

Lin Yu said calmly, and the Nevernight Fire Apricot crawled out from the ground and patted the dust on its body.

"Well, it seems you really have me in your hands... But from what you just said, are you doubting that I'm the employer of C-77's commission?"

Buyetian Huoxing asked back with interest, and Lin Yu also asked back.

"Then you have a reason, don't you?"

"Although Art Mercury isn't the Chosen One of Life, he possesses a large amount of 'life energy'. Alan obviously doesn't want those things anymore... They should be useful to you."

After hearing Lin Yu's analysis, Buyetian Huoxing burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay...it's really me—who else could have commissioned such an interesting thing if not me," Huo Xing of Buyetian opened her arms. "You actually saw through me. How despicable...Now it seems the only option is to silence me."

Buyetian Huoxing said this and then snapped his fingers.

The corpses that were previously controlled by Lao Zheng stood up staggeringly and looked at Lin Yu together.

Lin Yu looked at her, was silent for five seconds, and then laughed out loud.

"Your improvisational acting is excellent, Lord Huo Xing of Nevernight, but I was just teasing you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Xing curled her lips and said, "I know you didn't think I was your employer just now. But since you have the answer, hurry up and reveal it."

"Of course, I called you out just to share the answer to this mystery with you."

As Lin Yu spoke, Buyetian Huoxing narrowed his eyes.

"Ah, my... That statement gives me a whiff of danger. Rather than 'sharing the answer,' your tone sounds more like... you're trying to drag me down with you."

She said, then clapped her hands.

"But it doesn't matter, I like the feeling of being dragged into this!"

"Thank you so much..."

Lin Yu said this, and then walked to the side of Buyetian Huo Le.

"Anyway, although this was a request you made yourself, I'd still like to thank you for your assistance - so..."

He picked up the sleeping Buyetian Huo Le and placed the bone blade against the chest of the sleeping girl.

"Can you give me the payment?"

"Respected Patriarch of the Buyetian Family, His Excellency Buyetian Yonglian."
