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

Chapter 892 Goodbye Lao Yao

Although the Sixth Island, like most of Kirishima's islands, is in a state of "vast land and sparse population", large areas of the island are in a "deserted" state.

However, the sixth island owner, who crawled out from the ancient ruins, was indeed different from the other mist island owners - she sent the islanders to clear the roads across the entire island.

Fu Luo took Wang Jiu and the injured Katie along the cleared main road, checking the simple road signs erected on the roadside.

"That's the road to Cassidy... then the unmarked fork in the road here should be the direction to the ruins."

Fu Luo made his assessment, then raised his head and observed the direction of the terrain: "We should go to a higher point... Are the ruins of the sixth island on the mountain?"

Wang Jiu shook his head: "I don't know."

Katie obviously didn't know either.

Fu Luo felt a little regretful: "I should have asked those finned people more often... However, the location of the ruins and the cursed statue should not be difficult to find, but there is still no clue about Lao Yao's whereabouts. That monster is really a bastard."

Along the way, Fu Luo has been trying to use his detective abilities to find clues about Lao Yao, but...

There was no result.

Originally, Fu Luo thought that as long as he had some time, he would be able to find some clues using his abilities.

It would be much more difficult to search based on clues at that time. After all, there are not many places on this island where a living person can hide.

but……

The world of Kirishima and the profession of "detective" can be said to be "mutually complementary"!

In this world full of mysteries and where every creature is extremely cunning, the Detective's puzzle-solving ability can easily find a breakthrough.

but……

It is precisely because the creatures in this world are extremely cunning that it is very easy to find no "clues" at all.

Fu Luo was already feeling a bit annoyed by the repeated failures in activating his abilities.

"Damn...what if I can't find Lao Yao?"

According to my judgment at that time, it was impossible for the monster to kill Lao Yao!

Whether based on rational thinking about the monster's abilities and positions, or based on timely analysis at the time, Lao Yao should still be alive.

If Lao Yao really died here, how would he face his mutual friend with Lao Yao after he got out?

Although Fu Luo did not receive any "commission" to take care of Lao Yao, the moment he saw Lao Yao on the airship, he felt a sense of responsibility and the idea that he should protect him.

Fu Luo had already thought that if he still had no clue, he would just put the inheritance aside and give priority to finding Lao Yao.

only……

If I do that, I have to find a way to convince the "King Vulture"!

While Fu Luo was daydreaming...

My ability as a "detective"... was finally activated successfully!

The "clue" to finding Lao Yao's whereabouts appeared in my mind.

"finally--!"

Fu Luo breathed a sigh of relief, then looked in the direction of the clue.

"Go this way!"

He suddenly turned off the repaired road and plunged into the woods beside it.

No explanation, just action.

Wang Jiu and Katie also hurried to follow - after the incident of repelling the starfish just now, the two now have great trust in dealing with Luo.

Although Fu Luo didn't say the reason, the two of them followed.

Afterwards, after walking through the woods for a while, Fu Luo quickly found the direction indicated by the clue.

That is one side...

A pool of water in the woods.

Looking at the deep and calm pool, Fu Luo's expression changed slightly.

"Could it be that Lao Yao is under the water?"

So is he really still alive?!

Could it be that my previous judgment was wrong? !

Fu Luo instantly thought of the worst possibility.

Wang Jiu looked at Fu Luo, whose face changed drastically in front of the pond, and asked.

"Forpolo...what's going on?"

"My ability tells me... Lao Yao's whereabouts are related to this pool of water," Fu Luo said with difficulty, "He might be under this water."

Wang Jiu frowned slightly: "What? Then do you want me to see what's going on down there?"

Fu Luo looked at Wang Jiu: "Are you capable of underwater activities?"

Wang Jiu shook his head: "I don't have it, but I have it in my summons... but because it has no combat power, I didn't use it to deal with the starfish just now."

"It can only be used for underwater reconnaissance."

As he spoke, Wang Jiu took out a glass jar, in which an aquatic animal similar to a salamander was lying down and sleeping.

Fu Luo was about to agree to Wang Jiu's plan when he heard a voice behind him.

"Eh... Forbolo!"

"And King Vulture and Katie—why are you here!?"

Fu Luo suddenly turned around and found a short, thin, dark man.

Then, a surprised expression appeared on Fu Luo's face.

"Old Yao?! You're not dead!"

But then…

Fu Luo quickly became alert again: "Wait, are you really Lao Yao?"

"It's genuine," the thin, dark man said, extending his hand. "Look at the top of your head, Forboluo."

Fu Luo touched his head and found that his new gray newsboy cap was missing.

Old Yao on the opposite side shook the hat with his fingers and threw it back lightly.

"It's really you, Lao Yao," Fu Luo laughed, because the 'professional' abilities provided by the 'Death Game' are the most difficult to fake or disguise, especially the 'thief' type of skills - that kind of ability that can be directly activated without any special fluctuations is something that even the natives of the Ten Realms cannot imitate, no matter how high their status is. So he also confirmed that Lao Yao is the real one, "Oh my god, I thought you were in trouble - it really scared me!"

Fu Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and then asked about the illusion.

"The clues to your whereabouts point to this pool... Were you trapped in it before?"

However, Old Yao who was opposite Fu Luo, that is, Lin Yu who had changed back to Old Yao's appearance with the [Mask], did not answer this question directly.

"I think so, because I felt vaguely like I was asleep before... When I regained some consciousness, I found myself chained underwater. Although it seemed like someone had used some tricks to allow me to breathe freely, it was still a bit scary," Lin Yuyi said with lingering fear. "Luckily, even if I don't use my 'thief' ability, I still have my skills, so I used the little remaining consciousness to open the lock and swam out."

"After I swam up, I tried my best to find a tree to climb up and hide - the one over there." Lin Yu pointed to a dense tree behind him. "I was slowly recovering my strength and energy up there when I heard some movement below."

"I stuck my head out and saw it was you—what a coincidence!"

Katie quickly said, "It's not a coincidence. Lord Forboluo came here specifically to see you."

"I see," Lin Yu said gratefully, "So...how did I end up on this island?"

"Were you attacked by a monster?"
