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

Chapter 1039 The Ship's Origin

No matter whether the ghost was from the East or the West, it was scared away by the comprehensive prop set combining Chinese and Western elements in Li Nian's hands.

Lin Yu and Li Nian also got on the elevator smoothly and pressed the button to the top floor.

The elevator slowly went up, and a "sizzling" sound of electricity came from the speakers above.

"...Elevator...buzz...stay tuned..."

It seemed like there was some kind of promotional slogan broadcast originally, but now it is intermittent and not very clear.

Anyway, apart from this broadcast, there was nothing else to worry about.

Sitting in the elevator, Li Nian belatedly said, "Wait a minute, did I go a little too far just now?"

"Since we're going to [Unravel the Mystery], wouldn't it be better to spend more time with it and see how it attacks?"

Lin Yu didn't care: "A guy who can be scared away by what you took out should not be an important character."

"And to deduce what happened on this ship... we don't need a monster in this elevator."

Li Nian looked at Lin Yu in surprise: "Why are you so easy to talk to? I thought you were going to take advantage of this to make a fuss."

"I didn't blame you, but I was wrong again? Do you think I have a bad image in your mind?"

Lin Yu said helplessly.

Li Nian said solemnly, "I'm sorry, I really have always thought that you were the kind of person who was extremely self-centered, had a pathological desire for control, and loved to criticize others."

Lin Yu was helpless: "It's not like we haven't participated in the [Instance] together before - in the [Fatal Questions and Answers], did I leave this impression on you?"

Li Nian asked in return, "Although you were somewhat restrained regarding that [copy], don't you think your tendency to overcommit has already become apparent?"

Lin Yu's mouth twitched. "What do you mean I'm taking on too much? In that [Instance], besides me... you and 'Tian Gong' are just playing dumb and trying to fish in troubled waters. That 'Number Eight' is a complete idiot. His girlfriend isn't too idiotic, but she's completely obsessed with her boyfriend... What else can I do if I don't lead the team and decrypt it?"

"And as a member of the Free Alliance, don't tell me you didn't notice the anomaly in that [copy]!"

Li Nian said helplessly, "Okay, I admit that there was something I couldn't do about that [copy], after all, there were gods involved... However, I came to this conclusion based on more than just the experience of that one [copy]."

"Sister Zhu Ming is such a nice person, but you were dumped by her, so you must have a character flaw!"

Li Nian said firmly.

Lin Yu was very helpless: "What do you mean I was dumped? We have never been together!"

"Look, this is a manifestation of your egocentrism. You'll say anything to save your own face," Li Nian said angrily, "You can't bring her happiness!"

Lin Yu felt speechless.

"Your misunderstanding is profound... Seriously, hasn't Zhu Ming corrected your misconception?"

Li Nian shrugged: "Sister Zhu Ming really doesn't admit it either."

"Is there a possibility that everyone has misunderstood this whole time?"

"We do have a good relationship, but we are not a couple."

Lin Yu said seriously.

Li Nian looked at him with a smug smile on his face. "Ha, you made it look so real—good acting, Director. Others might be fooled by your sincere expression, but you can't even imagine my intelligence network."

Lin Yu subconsciously thought that Li Nian was bluffing, but after carefully observing Li Nian's expression, he found...

She seemed to have some real certainty.

Lin Yu was suspicious: "What kind of intelligence network can you have?"

"You idiot, I'm from Shengle Private High School... and Sister Zhu Ming's sister is in the junior high school," Li Nian said proudly, approaching Lin Yu. "I used my connections in the junior high school to find out indirectly that after Sister Zhu Ming's 'faked death', a handsome older man who claimed to be Sister Zhu Ming's boyfriend came to visit her. He took Sister Zhu Ming's phone and left some gifts. It was you, right?"

"You were looking after Sister Zhu Ming's family—and you also entrusted 'Cress' to protect her sister, right? I only found out about that later... That's why I ran into Cress near the school!"

Li Nian made this analysis proudly, and Lin Yu was speechless.

In order to get Xia Yue's mobile phone as soon as possible and complete his plan to deceive everyone, he had to take the initiative to approach Xia Yue's family as "Lin Yu".

However, Lin Yu never expected...

Li Nian actually found a breakthrough!

Who would have thought that she and Xia Yue's sister were in the same private middle school? !

Fate is so... weird and ridiculous.

Lin Yu sighed, thinking to himself that his sister and senior were right - power like "fate" cannot be in the hands of any god, and should not even exist in the world.

This kind of authority should be broken up and dismantled.

At this moment, Lin Yu could only speak weakly: "Okay, that's what happened..."

"But I didn't hire 'Cresse'."

Li Nian curled her lips: "Who else could it be if not you? This person definitely wasn't hired by Sister Zhu Ming herself!"

"I actually know it. It's 'Fluoxetine' from the 'Psychological Society'."

Lin Yu said seriously.

But as expected, Li Nian didn't believe it.

"Haha, 'Fluoxetine'? Why don't you say 'Freud'?"

As Li Nian spoke, Lin Yu sighed.

"Look, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you—Okay, enough small talk, let's go explore this floor first."

The words fell.

"Ding!"

The prompt sounded, the elevator door opened, and Lin Yu and Li Nian walked out one after another.

The casino is obviously the main attraction of this cruise ship. It occupies almost the entire space on the fourth floor. When you come out of the elevator, you can see two transparent glass doors, behind which is the magnificent interior of the casino.

Various common slot machines, pinball machines, and card tables are lined up in order, as well as a beautifully decorated bar counter and a wine cabinet storing a variety of wines.

"It doesn't feel like a Pure Ruins," Lin Yu said, surveying the interior. "From what I've seen... there aren't any structures designed for 'aquatic life'. The games in this casino are all human-style... If it were just humans, they wouldn't be able to gather so many wealthy people."

"That's Kirishima?"

Li Nian asked back.

Lin Yu shook his head: "Even if this is really a sea area with high visibility that is rare in Kirishima, there are actually very few ships that can exist safely in Kirishima and sail on the sea..."

Li Nian spread his hands: "But, didn't something happen to this ship?"
