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

Chapter 570 The Truth About the Mercury Family

Following Lao Zheng's voice, all the surviving dignitaries in the venue, including Buyetian Huo Le, suddenly fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Yu breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Phew, a near miss—although the plan was changed at the last minute, this part will proceed as usual."

No matter what, now that he has obtained some of Lao Zheng's abilities as a "third-level" player, even if there are any variables in the future, Lin Yu feels that he can handle it.

Of course, after all the nobles fell asleep and before making the next plan...

Lin Yu began to patrol and search in the auditorium.

"Bernard... well, dead."

"The Marquis of Kren and his family are also dead."

"Ouch, this one isn't dead."

Lin Yu would squat down from time to time and give a finishing blow to some fish that had escaped the net.

What I just said to Buyetian Huo Le was only half true.

Lin Yu was indeed not killing innocent people indiscriminately - it's just that those who died were just bargaining chips.

It was the bargaining chip with the head of the Buyetian family at that time.

"I also have some people who I really hate, but they're not worth killing personally. If an evil and chaotic 'outsider' accidentally kills them all, I would probably be very relieved."

The head of the Buye Tian family gave a list of more than thirty people.

This is also the reason why Lin Yu was impressed by Buye Tian Huo Le's kindness. On the one hand, it was because she did have a much more humane side compared to her own mother.

On the other hand...if Buye Tian Huo Le calmed down a bit and observed the dead carefully, she would have discovered that, excluding the insignificant interference items, the dead nobles were basically the ones who had blocked the Buye Tian family's path in recent years, or were naturally opposed to her, Buye Tian Huo Le.

In other words, although it seems that her reputation will be damaged at this banquet, Huo Le will be surprised to find out after waking up or a few months later.

All her work will go much more smoothly!

of course……

These are just part of the deal.

After dealing with the last few unlucky guys on the list who had offended the head of the Buye Tian family, Lin Yu also began to complete his own tasks.

He carried Lao Zheng and walked to Art Mercury, then reached out and grabbed a trace of spiritual power and injected it into the other's body.

Lao Zheng was very surprised: "Damn, you learn so fast!"

Lin Yu curled his lips: "This is not difficult."

Old Zheng paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Yeah, yes, it's really not difficult. In fact, I also learned it in one go. Haha, it's been so long that I almost forgot."

Then, Art Mercury slowly woke up.

Looking at Lin Yu squatting in front of him, Art Mercury sat up.

After pondering for a moment, Art Mercury said, "It seems that the rumors about the assassination of a prince and noble are true, and the target is me, right?"

Looking at the old man who was surprisingly calm, Lin Yu nodded unexpectedly.

"Indeed... I have been asked to take Art Mercury's life."

Art Mercury looked at Lin Yu and asked the same question as Buyetian Huo Le.

"Is it necessary to go through so much trouble just to kill me?"

"Of course," Lin Yu answered briskly, sitting cross-legged across from Art Mercury. "After all, you're involved in a 'fifty-year' scam."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Art Mercury was a little surprised.

"Is there a fifty-year-long scam going on in me?"

The old man quickly thought of the most important event in his life at this sensitive time.

"Could it be related to my succession to the Mercury Family?"

Lin Yu nodded slightly.

"Yes, to be honest, this secret is so deep that I didn't figure out what the problem was at first."

"It's just... based on some 'high-level' reasons, I've always been 80% certain that there must be a 'scam' involved in the commission regarding you or the assassination of you."

Lin Yu said calmly.

The "level-up" tasks are always related to "career".

Just like a door that can't be opened in a puzzle game, players will inevitably wonder if it is hiding something.

And Lin Yu still remembered that his profession was a fraudster, not a killer...

Then why does the [Personal Copy] part of my [Second Level Trial] require me to complete the [Assassination] commission?

This is like letting Lin Yu see a locked door.

In the process of getting closer and closer to the assassination, Lin Yu finally gathered all the "fragments of the truth". Finally... with the hint of Huo Xing from Buyetian, he finally understood what this scam was.

"Why did Alan Mercury disappear in the Great Wilderness fifty years ago? Why did you take over as the head of the Mercury family? Although this kind of brotherhood is extremely rare, and the people of the City That Never Sleeps love to talk about your story, as an outsider, I feel something is amiss."

"The head of the Buyetian family once told me that Allan Mercury cried to her and said he didn't want you to die... It's really strange, Art Mercury. Even if you risked dying if you stepped down as the head of the family, why did you force Allan Mercury to the point of crying?"

"Also, while your status as the 'Chosen One of Life' may seem secretive... in reality, anyone with even a little common sense can guess that you are the Chosen One of the God of Life."

At this point, Lin Yu paused and said, "What a huge lie! It's only now that I understand the real difficulty in completing the commission to assassinate you."

Art Mercury pondered and said, "I don't understand. I don't remember telling any big lies."

Lin Yu shook his head.

"Of course you don't understand, because this lie...your dear brother, Alan Quicksilver, had no intention of letting you know."

"Because he knows that if you knew, you would definitely not agree with him risking the entire family just to keep you alive. No wonder the head of the Buyetian family looks down on him so much, because Alan Shuiyin, as the head of the family, is completely different from him."

"You two brothers are actually blood relatives. Everyone in Nevernight City praises your kindness and righteousness, but Alan Mercury is no less... Tsk, especially after seeing the brothers from the Nevernight and Shenglan families killing each other, I can't help but sigh, you two are truly a clean generation."

After hearing this, Art Mercury had a vague understanding.

"what do you mean……"

Lin Yu nodded and calmly told the truth.

"Alt Mercury...you are not the chosen one of the God of Life at all."

"You are just a dead person who died in an accident fifty years ago."
