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

Chapter 1001 A More Efficient Method

Listening to Lu Xiao's words, Lin Yu also felt that his brain was shocked.

"So we're all just outside 'players', trapped here because this world is so strange?"

Lin Yu vaguely felt that he seemed to remember more, but a stronger cognitive backlash emerged from his heart: there was a voice constantly screaming in his heart that all this was "unreliable", making him involuntarily wonder if he was really crazy or suffering from some mental illness.

After all, thinking from the perspective of "common sense", it is too illogical for a high school student like me to suddenly become a "traveler" from another world.

Moreover, although this can explain all the "abnormalities" in his current thinking, there is no actual "evidence" in reality to explain all this: in other words, if he is a psychopath with persecution delusion, and Lu Xiao in front of him is another psychopath who resonates with him, it can also explain everything that is happening now.

but……

The self in the recording seemed to have given the "answer", and Lu Xiao also mentioned this.

"Anchor point" - it seems that doing something abnormal will cause this essentially "false" real world to reveal details that are inconsistent with cognition.

For example... exploring the city's boundaries, or killing people.

I mentioned these two methods...

The first method should be to explain that the world is "finite", or at least its actual size should not match the world you perceive in your mind.

The second one seems to be the one explaining these activities of this world... which is probably fake, so this world may not be able to depict the scene of "death".

Thinking of this, Lin Yu looked at Lu Xiao.

"What are all these anchors you have here? I might need to make one now!"

Lu Xiao looked at Lin Yu, then opened the top of his clothes without any question.

Lin Yu was stunned and subconsciously wanted to cover his eyes: "What are you doing?"

Lu Xiao shouted anxiously, "Don't block it—it's not what you think. You're being assimilated into the identity of a 'high school boy' again! Forget about all this nonsense!"

At Lu Xiao's shout, Lin Yu suppressed his instinct to respect women, and then saw what was underneath Lu Xiao's clothes...

Circles of tape wrapped around her waist!

The tape was densely covered with various teeth and polished finger bones.

The girl's slender body and transparent tape combined with these tissues that were obviously human remains looked like a horrific composition drawn by a cartoonist with a purpose of seeking bizarre aesthetics, which made Lin Yu instinctively feel a chill.

But "fear" is easy for Lin Yu to overcome.

"What are these?"

"The teeth and fingers of the dead are also my anchors. I killed most of them on this rooftop with my own hands, luring foolish teachers and students up here under the guise of 'confession,'" Lu Xiao paused. "No wonder the direction of my 'correction' just now was to confess... In short, there are no 'dead' people in this world. If you kill someone, there are two phenomena afterwards: some will be 'reborn,' as if you never killed them and it was all just an illusion, while others will completely disappear, along with their relationships."

"I don't know the reason for this phenomenon, but it's definitely a major bug. Because we don't seem to belong to this world, there's a specific phenomenon where things we continuously perceive and recognize don't disappear. So, logically, the bodies of those we've killed shouldn't exist. But as long as you carry it close to you and keep it constantly aware of it, like your phone, it can be immune to the 'influence' of this world. Then, by connecting these memories of the murder to your own, you can form an 'anchor point.'"

Lu Xiao spoke more and more, his voice becoming increasingly cheerful. "I'm remembering more and more, because I've killed so many people on this rooftop, so there are so many 'illogical' memories here. It's hard to be disturbed here. This is my domain. Phew, great—I can remember all these names. My memory is now indestructible."

Lu Xiao said, looking at Lin Yu: "So, your recording is right - killing is indeed the best way."

Lin Yu looked at Lu Xiao and felt his mind become confused again.

"So now, in order to maintain the 'stability' of my memories and create an 'anchor point', I need to kill someone?"

Lu Xiao nodded. "Of course, don't feel too burdened. As you remember more and more, you'll realize that these aren't real people. They're just NPCs, empty shells without souls."

As Lu Xiao spoke, Lin Yu exhaled: "Really..."

"Of course, if you can't bring yourself to do it, you can watch me kill someone—and then I'll give you a finger bone or a tooth or something. That should work then, although it won't be as strong."

Lu Xiao was saying more and more outrageous, even scary words, with increasing calmness.

She looks like a quiet high school girl, but at her core she seems to have turned into some kind of murderer.

"Alright, don't waste this opportunity. Stay here on the rooftop and don't move... Well, I'll just lock you in here. This way, even if your 'cognition' is interrupted, it will still be helpful to you - I'll bring someone up to kill with you, and then you'll have an anchor."

"I should have done that last time, but why didn't I... I don't remember everything about our last meeting..."

Lu Xiao said this and then walked towards the door.

"Anyway—stay here and don't move. At least don't jump off the building—although I'd also like to verify whether suicide can be considered an anchor point."

As she spoke, she slowly walked out of the rooftop and closed the door.

After Lu Xiao left, Lin Yu stayed alone on the quiet rooftop and then let out a breath.

He tried hard to keep his memory coherent and looked at the recordings on his phone again - there were still two parts of the recording that he hadn't listened to.

For some reason, when Lu Xiao was around just now, he subconsciously didn't want to play the second part.

However, Lin Yu still doesn't know whether these "subconscious" thoughts are the guidance left by his previous self that is best to follow, or they are misleading thoughts implanted by this world that are detrimental to him.

But since Lu Xiao had already left, Lin Yu simply played the second part.

"Buzz—Snap!"

"It's May 20th now. I'm Lin Yu. If you haven't heard the above, listen to it chronologically first to help you grasp the current situation. Anyway, I never expected it would take 20 days for me to find the last recording and retrieve most of my memories. Creating an 'anomaly' in this world that can't be corrected all at once to retrieve memories and create an 'anchor point' is feasible, but this place will continue to evolve. Its underlying vulnerabilities cannot be fixed. This world has 'limited boundaries' and cannot properly handle character 'death'... However, it will further interfere with our cognition, making it more difficult for us to obtain an 'anchor point'. So, I found a more efficient method."
