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

"I won't go home for dinner tonight. The club has a dinner party."

After editing the text message, send it.

Lin Yu turned off the screen of his mobile phone and parked his bicycle at the intersection.

He has arrived at Changming Street.

Changming Street is located in the old city of Jiangcheng. There are no high-rise buildings here. There are low houses everywhere, and even some self-built houses.

There are small shops on both sides of the road, including canteens, auto repair shops and breakfast shops, full of a simple atmosphere.

Lin Yu walked along Changming Street, counting the blue nameplates nailed on the door heads.

"937, 938, 939..."

Lin Yu stopped.

No. 940 has arrived.

This place is larger than other places, but also more desolate.

Because this is an abandoned two-story restaurant.

The signboard with "Jiangcheng People" is already broken, and the door lock is covered with rust.

Lin Yu thought for a while, and he walked to the window next to him-the glass was broken, and only a layer of paper was pasted on it.

He poked open the window paper and opened it.

The windows of this old-style building were not high, so Lin Yu climbed in easily.

But the scene inside surprised Lin Yu.

"Not quite right..."

Although it was dilapidated and old, all the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the floor was spotless.

It was as if it had just been cleaned.

This was completely different from the old and abandoned appearance outside.

Lin Yu became alert instantly.

He held the polygraph and pistol in his hands.

As for why the polygraph was also taken out... it would not hurt to have it anyway.

Lin Yu looked around the restaurant nervously, and even found a pillar to hide behind.

And just at this time...

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Footsteps sounded in the empty space.

Lin Yu poked his head out slightly and looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw a man walking down the stairs between the first and second floors.

He was a tall and bloated middle-aged man, wearing a sophisticated dark blue double-breasted suit and a pair of shiny leather shoes.

In addition... he was also covered with all kinds of golden jewelry - gold watches, gold rings, gold necklaces.

He was "bejeweled".

He walked down the stairs and looked in the direction of Lin Yu.

"I see you, little brother - don't hide!"

"The time of the 'assembly' is the day after tomorrow... you came a little too early!"

The middle-aged man said with a strong voice.

Lin Yu still didn't dare to show his head.

Although this middle-aged man didn't look like the same kind of "schoolmate" as the previous one, Lin Yu didn't dare to bet.

He hid behind the pillar and asked.

"What assembly, I don't know!"

The middle-aged man laughed.

"Oh, first time here? Calculate the time, it is indeed the time for this group of newcomers to find the 'forum'..."

As the middle-aged man said, Lin Yu was even more puzzled.

"I don't understand what you are talking about, I just passed by here."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, the middle-aged man smiled even more.

"Young man, let alone the way you sneaked in to 'scout the place', you are just like most of the newcomers I met who knew me for the first time..."

"As an 'old hand', let me remind you that we, the players who have participated in the 'death game', cannot reveal the four words 'death game' to ordinary people, not even a hint - as long as this thought comes up, your next words will be 'stuck' in your throat."

"The fact that I can chat with you so smoothly proves that you are indeed a 'player'."

The middle-aged man in golden clothes said, and Lin Yu still hid behind the pillar.

He felt that the middle-aged man did not lie to him...

But it was precisely because they were all players that Lin Yu became more vigilant.

"There is an opposition relationship between players... Aren't you wary of me?"

Lin Yu whispered.

The middle-aged man laughed: "Young man, it seems that your novice copy is of a confrontational nature."

"In reality, there are rarely confrontational relationships between 'players' and 'players'. Everyone's life is picked up, so why bother to fight to the death outside the game?"

"As the saying goes, harmony brings wealth!"

The middle-aged man's voice was deep and enthusiastic, and it sounded particularly convincing.

Lin Yu believed him for the most part, but still did not completely trust him.

He raised the "lie detector" in his hand.

"Then swear that you will not hurt me."

The middle-aged man was very surprised.

"Ah? Swear...Okay!"

He raised his right fist: "I have no ill will towards you, and I have no intention of hurting you at all."

Listening to what the middle-aged man said, Lin Yu released the button of the lie detector in his hand.

"Beep--"

The green light of the lie detector came on.

Lin Yu finally relaxed his vigilance a little-but he did not completely relax his vigilance.

After all, there is still a possibility that the middle-aged man in front of him is also "lying with the truth".

However, Lin Yu felt that such "extremely low probability" events could be almost ignored when considering them.

He walked out from behind the pillar.

This made the uncle raise his eyebrows.

"Hey, you are a pretty newcomer... and it only took you one day to find the forum, solve the puzzle, and locate the meeting address, and even knew to come here in advance to check it out. You are really a young man to be feared."

Lin Yu looked at the middle-aged man who was still kind in front of him, and decided to be frank: "I really don't know anything about the gathering and the puzzle."

He said sincerely, and the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then spoke.

"Then how did you find this place?"

"Someone gave me a card with the address here on it."

Lin Yu said, and took out the business card in his trouser pocket.

The middle-aged man walked down quickly after hearing this.

Lin Yu looked at him very vigilantly, and the middle-aged man did not do anything out of line. He just picked up the business card and looked at it repeatedly.

Then, the middle-aged man returned the business card to Lin Yu, and couldn't help muttering: "It's really strange, how could this person give the address of the 'gathering' to you, a newcomer."

"Is it some 'organization' that is trying to win you over... But this is a strange way to win people over."

The middle-aged man muttered, and Lin Yu frowned.

"So, what exactly does this 'gathering' refer to?"

When Lin Yu said this, the middle-aged man pondered for a moment.

"Okay, 'newcomer'... Although I don't know your background, since you don't even know these common sense, I will answer them for you."

"Anyway, as long as you find the 'forum', you can find the answers there."

"Now I tell you for free, and I'll do you a favor!"

Lin Yu was a little helpless when he heard the middle-aged man's words.

"You make this matter so worthless, do you really want me to owe you a favor?"

"Haha, sincerity is my ultimate skill!"

The middle-aged man said with a smile, and then his expression became solemn: "Anyway, let me ask you a question first, rookie... What do you think is the standard for measuring the strength of a death game 'player'?"
