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

Chapter 1571 Doomsday...Mastermind

Hearing Shen Bingmiao's words, Lin Yu roughly understood her situation.

After all, he was not entirely ignorant about gods and authority.

"So... from the moment you became a god, you were on a path destined for self-destruction?"

Shen Bingmiao shrugged frankly: "That's right... Of course, theoretically speaking, if I do nothing and don't use the power of 'authority' at all, I can maintain this state for hundreds or even thousands of years without the fusion process being accelerated, which is already much longer than the lifespan of an ordinary person."

“It’s just a pity that I can’t stay idle,” Shen Bingmiao said, then laughed. “But when you think about it, I didn’t really lose out—after all, being a god for a while is much more exciting than simply living a mortal life, isn’t it?”

"Moreover, the direction of my life path... is entirely my own choice."

Shen Bingmiao said earnestly.

"So... although my 'soul' will be possessed by authority, my humanity will be replaced by divinity, and my consciousness and 'self' will be worn away with each use of authority, I have never regretted it, Lin Yu... after joining the 'Death Game,' I have already gained a life... no, even two!"

“The real Shen Bingmiao should have died in the accident many years ago; even Jiu Shui, as a ‘player,’ should have died in the ‘Final Trial’... The fact that I can continue to live as the ‘God of Games and Rules’ is already an extra bonus every day.”

“In fact, I can be of great help to you in this capacity... That would be wonderful.”

As Shen Bingmiao spoke, her soft voice came from the stereo system of the television, as if embracing Lin Yu from all directions.

But Lin Yu clearly did not accept Shen Bingmiao's explanation.

He wasn't so sure that Shen Bingmiao was really on the path to her impending death and that there was no way to stop her.

He clearly didn't want to accept it either.

“But, senior... I only learned about your identity as the ‘God of Games and Rules’ today.”

"To me, you are not a god... You are my senior, my beloved president of the drama club, my sister's friend, and the most important partner on my path of performing arts."

"Moreover, you are my accomplice in resurrecting my sister—I can't do something that breaks the taboos of the Ten Realms without you, my 'divine accomplice'."

Lin Yu paused for a moment as he spoke: "So, there must be some other way to delay all of this—you've only taken on two powers right now, and a god can only hold a maximum of three powers, as I know. You can hold a third power!"

Shen Bingmiao said helplessly, "It's no use. Not to mention that I don't have a suitable third authority right now, forcibly accommodating an authority would easily damage the foundation and shake the origin for a normal god. Even if I really found a third authority... the soul shock generated during the accommodation process would be enough to completely devour my soul and self-awareness before the accommodation is completed."

“Then let’s skip over it again, bypass the third authority, and walk the path that the ‘God of Games’ walked on, the path above the gods, and find a way to utilize the ‘World Will’ and the ‘Death Game’,” Lin Yu said immediately. “Although time is tight, believe me… there must be a way, and I will definitely be able to come up with a solution.”

Shen Bingmiao smiled and said, "Although this method won't work... I certainly believe in you, but... my dear 'Ace,' it's really too late."

“This isn’t something you should be distracted by right now—don’t worry, although I can’t be with you until the end as an accomplice, I’ll take care of everything,” Shen Bingmiao tapped his chest with his thumb. “Give me some trust, my dear junior—I’ll handle all of this too.”

Lin Yu shook his head: "No matter what you say, I will not give up on you."

"Are you reluctant to part with me? Even though the [Exclusive Item] is called an [Empty Shell]," Shen Bingmiao said, pouting. "Should I feel honored?"

“Even from a rational point of view, I cannot abandon you,” Lin Yu said calmly. “An ally of a god, and a completely trustworthy god at that… From a self-interest perspective, I am even less likely to let you just ‘disappear’ like this!”

Shen Bingmiao said with a smile, "I'm really touched."

Lin Yu said, "Enough with the nonsense, how much time do you actually have left?"

“I don’t know either, but according to real-world time, there are still seven or eight hours left,” Shen Bingmiao lowered her eyes, “After everything in the ‘Eternal Cage’ ends, my last trace of ‘self’ will disappear completely.”

"To be honest, I originally planned to finish everything before saying goodbye, but who would have thought you would be so perceptive."

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Seven or eight hours, is that enough!"

As he spoke, he prepared to activate the [Map] permission.

Lin Yu had already made up his mind. He was going to Fog Island to see if there was a way to directly contact the "God of Change" to go to the "Upside-Down Tower" with the help of Princess Baiyue, and then go to the "Divine Realm" through the "Upside-Down Tower"!

As long as I reach the realm of gods, there is still a chance for things to turn around.

only……

The moment Lin Yu opened the [Map] permission, he saw a line of "cyan-green" data stream crawl into his field of vision.

Then, an "ERROR" error message popped up in front of me.

Shen Bingmiao said with a grin, "It's no use, junior... I know your personality, so I've already temporarily blocked your access to other worlds—that's my ability as the 'God of Rules'."

Lin Yu looked at Shen Bingmiao in disbelief: "You can actually influence the 'Death Game'?!"

"That's the power of the 'game' authority. Although it's the 'rules' authority that takes effect, it's really thanks to the 'game' that the 'rules' authority can take effect."

“A ‘death game’ is still a ‘game’.”

Shen Bingmiao said easily, "So don't worry—even if it's only seven or eight hours, I have no worries now."

"Even with only two powers, there is no one in the entire divine realm who can be my opponent who is completely uninhibited."

"I will do my best to 'sweep away' these obstacles and troubles for you—don't let my efforts go to waste, junior."

"You must bring her back to life."

Lin Yu looked at Shen Bingmiao: "Okay, I will... Then I'll ask you a few more questions. This time when I went to the 'Eternal Cage,' I encountered many ancient beings from the Ten Realms, and some of their experiences have piqued my interest."

"Including my previous exchanges with Eternal Love of Nightless City in the 'Wilderness Realm', some questions have also been raised."

Shen Bingmiao raised an eyebrow: "You want to ask about the previous version, right?"

Lin Yu nodded and asked directly, "The exterior of the [Cyber ​​Ghost's Electronic Coffin] was created by 'Eternal Pity of Nightless City.' She said that when it was being made, a girl named 'Shui Shui' came with two other men. Was that 'Shui Shui' you?"

Lin Yu asked.

Although he already knew that "Shui Shui" was most likely a senior student, he still asked her the question.

But what I didn't expect was...

Shen Bingmiao actually gave a different answer.

"No, Shui Shui is your older sister Lin Zhao. She borrowed my nickname... It's pretty wicked, isn't it?"

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this answer, and then, after confirming that Shen Bingmiao was not joking, he spoke up in surprise.

"Is Shui Shui the older sister?"

that……

"Who is that boy named 'Xiao Yuan'? Could it be you?"

Lin Yu couldn't help but ask.

“I also heard about ‘Xiao Yuan’ from the prisoners in the core area of ​​‘Eternal Cage’… because everyone described her appearance differently, I thought she must be the older sister.”

As Lin Yu spoke, Shen Bingmiao shook her head.

"Xiao Yuan is Xiao Yuan... He does have the ability to disguise himself and change his appearance—after all, Xiao Yuan's ability is that of a 'makeup artist'."

"He was a 'player' who acted with us... It's just a pity that he died before the 'Final Trial' arrived, in the Prison Mountain Realm—and his death seems to be related to 'fate'."

"To be honest, although I don't know what Sister Zhao was thinking, I've always felt that it was because of Xiao Yuan's death that Sister Zhao made up her mind to kill the 'God of Fate'."

Shen Bingmiao spoke in a low voice, and Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay... So who was the third man in the Wasteland who was with Xiao Yuan and Lin Zhao, who was impersonating you?"

Shen Bingmiao looked at Lin Yu with some confusion: "You didn't even realize that... Of course, that was me."

Lin Yu was even more puzzled: "That's not right. Buyetian Yonglian said it was a very handsome boy who was always eating. How could it be you?"

Shen Bingmiao said confidently, "That's me, of course—didn't I just say that Xiao Yuan is a 'makeup artist'? He can change his own appearance, so naturally he can change other people's appearances too!"

"It would be easy for him to transform me from a woman into a man, okay?"

"As for food... I've always loved snacks. Do you think I'm not eating them now because I don't want to?"

Lin Yu was speechless for a moment.

In a sense, this personnel configuration is both reasonable and unexpected.

but……

That Xiaoyuan was actually able to fool even Yonglian of Nightless City; she was indeed quite impressive.

Not only could he change his appearance, but he could also fool Shen Bingmiao.

This shows that the other party's makeup skills can even achieve the same effect as their own "mask".

Even the powerful figures he concealed weren't just Eternal Love of Nightless City!

This also includes the prisoners from the Ten Realms who participated in "creating the apocalypse" at that time.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu also asked the question.

"Anyway... many members of the previous version of 'Ten Realms' had met 'Xiao Yuan'—so were you and your sister involved in this as well?"

This answer did not surprise Lin Yu.

"of course."

Shen Bingmiao said frankly, and then added a sentence.

"You could even say that... Sister Zhao is more than just a 'participant'."

"She is the 'mastermind'."
