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

After Charmander rigorously repeated, "The clearance requirement for the three of us in this dungeon is 'reach Liu Town'," Lin Yu felt a brief sound coming from the [One-sentence Lie Detector] in his pocket.

This means that what the other person says is indeed true.

Although the [Mind-Reading Goggles] and mental perception can also assist in lie detection, Lin Yu can even eliminate most situations of being deceived just by observation.

However, this [one-sentence lie detector] does not require judgment or operation, and determines the truth or falsehood based on the law of causality.

Therefore, at this very critical moment, Lin Yu would naturally not be stingy with the use of the [props] and chose the safest way to confirm that the other party was not lying.

Lin Yu exhaled.

"Very good, now there is no doubt."

Deadshot nodded. "It seems that Mr. Clozapine used some kind of lie detector to verify the truth of what we said, right?"

"certainly."

Lin Yu did not hide it either.

Squirtle suddenly looked at Lin Yu warily: "Should we also give this guy a lie detector test..."

"That's not necessary," Charmander said after thinking for a while, "He just mentioned the condition of 'reaching Liu Town' first - if he was lying to us, how would he know what our conditions for passing the level are?"

Lin Yu refuted Charmander: "That's not necessarily true, because if my clearance condition is 'prevent anyone from entering Liu Town within five days', it's easy to infer that the clearance condition for the players who are hostile to my camp is likely to be entering Liu Town."

Lin Yu said, and the little fire dragon nodded: "So that's it."

Deadshot said: "Since you said so, I might as well test it!"

As he said this, the guy put away his gun and took out a black crystal box with a glowing surface.

The box opened and a white bat with small wings flew out.

Deadshot said, "Please repeat it as well."

Lin Yu also repeated the sentence "The clearance condition for the three of us in this dungeon is 'reach Liu Town'", and then the white bat flew to Lin Yu, circled twice, and then returned to Deadshot.

Deadshot put it back into the box and said, "This is a variant of the 'Heart-Eating Bat Demon' from Night Vale. It absorbs the dishonesty produced by humans... It didn't react to you just now, which means that what you said just now was not wrong."

After both sides confirmed that what the other said was true, they finally confirmed one thing...

"Is this really not a 'competitive copy'?"

Li Nian said with disbelief.

"That's great news," Squirtle heaved a sigh of relief, "At least we don't have to face the Thief."

As he spoke, Lin Yu shook his head.

"No, this may not be a good thing."

"You want to be teammates with the three of us, which means that the strength of this [copy] is designed according to the strength of the six of us," Lin Yu said calmly, "The three of you should all be 'Level 2'... Although I am 'Level 1', I can responsibly say that I should be considered to have the strength of 'Level 2'."

"Six 'Second Stage' players, and two teams of three... This means that if it weren't for the [Counter-Instance], we would have to face even greater pressure from the instance itself."

"And the reason why we judged this dungeon to be a [confrontation] type is largely because the condition of 'reaching Liu Town' is too simple for our current situation, so we judge that more difficulties may come from other players... This means that this dungeon may hide more crises and problems than what we currently know."

Lin Yu analyzed it in a very logical way, and Charmander nodded repeatedly.

"That makes sense. Perhaps this dungeon is closer to a puzzle game than a survival game... At least it should contain many elements of decryption!"

Charmander said, and his two teammates also agreed with his words.

"So, we'd better share our experiences," Li Nian said, holding his chin, "It just so happens that we are indeed encountering some... somewhat strange situations right now."

Afterwards, Li Nian briefly explained how they had mixed with the escort team, and informed them of several peculiar events, such as the abnormal attacks by demons, the abnormal "cargo" transported by the escort team, the living dead in Chenjiabao, and the disappearance of two escorts just now.

Charmander, Deadshot, and Squirtle were stunned by these experiences.

"I feel that this dungeon is actually quite strong," Charmander said with emotion, "Some people seem dead but are actually alive, some seem alive but are actually dead... and some people disappeared inexplicably."

“These sound very tricky.”

As the little fire dragon spoke, Lin Yu looked at them and asked, "Did you have a smooth journey... By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how did you find this Chen Family Castle?"

When the little fire dragon heard what Lin Yu said, he answered honestly: "The initial location of the three of us entering the dungeon was not where the escort team met, but in a dilapidated Taoist temple. There was a skeleton in the temple, and it looked like it had been dead for a long time. But now that you mentioned it, we didn't check it carefully. Maybe the skeleton is alive."

"Anyway, the clothes on the skeleton were rather tattered, so it was easy to see that he had a torn map in his arms, with several routes marked on it that led to different human settlements."

"One of the routes leads to Chenjiabao - and it's the closest one, so we came here first."

As Charmander said this, Deadshot nodded and added, "The basic situation is just as Charmander said, but I want to add that the reason we chose Chenjiabao was not random, but because there is no direct route to Liu Town marked on the map."

"So, our goal is to get to the human gathering place as soon as possible and ask for directions - but unexpectedly, we didn't expect to meet you here directly."

"The old man from Chenjiabao said that a escort team had already moved into the stone house in advance. There were three people in the escort team who didn't look like locals like us. We guessed that they might be the remaining players, so we came here to negotiate."

After Death Shot finished his replenishment, Lin Yu nodded and raised a question.

"Can you show me your map?"

He took the map and, based on the route on it, worked his way back to the location where Charmander and his group first entered the [copy].

The location of that Taoist temple seemed to be not much different from Chenjiabao as his original location was from Chenjiabao.

This made Lin Yu a little confused.

"That's strange, why did you arrive later than us?"
