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

Chapter 236 The truth about the train of despair, inviting Punkto

Under the influence of the gun and the blade, Punkto finally calmed down.

The broken suppressor on his back turned blue again, and he sat in the chair with a depressed expression.

After confirming that the other party was indeed no threat, Lin Yu even took the initiative to untie the ropes on the other party.

"So... I lost several years of memory..."

Punkto scratched his hair in pain and muttered to himself, "First I was promoted to team leader, then I became consumable and was exiled to this damn train. What on earth has happened to me?"

Looking at the painful Punkto, Li Nian comforted him.

"Oh, don't dwell too much on the past. The most important thing is to grasp the present... but it seems that the present isn't that great either."

Lin Yu also asked curiously: "Since you are an insider of Zhenli Company, you should know more about this train... I still don't know what this train is about."

"What do you mean by 'consumables'? What exactly is this train for?"

When Pangduo heard Lin Yu's question, he forced himself to cheer up and explain to Lin Yu.

"I've only heard about this... Initially, the Despair Train was designed and built as a 'convenient transportation' project."

"Its tracks circle the entire outer ring of the city that never sleeps. It originally had six stations and was said to be able to travel from one end of the city to the other in just three minutes."

"It used the 'Furnace of Despair', a single-core furnace that had proven to be extremely efficient at the time. It could absorb sadness, pain, anger, and other emotional energies simultaneously. It had also demonstrated its potential when used as an orbital strike weapon."

"The specially designed train lines can help share the energy burden of the entire city that never sleeps."

"However, after it was actually put into operation, everyone discovered a design flaw in the furnace - it was difficult to stop."

"In other words, once the train starts, there's no such thing as a 'stop'. If you want to stop it, even after braking and shutting off the energy supply to the furnace, it can still run for at least a year."

“So, the project failed — but not completely.”

"Because the energy supply, which was originally just a 'by-product', was found to far exceed the energy used by all the cities that never sleep at the time."

"Originally it was only expected to share energy pressure, but once it is actually put into operation... it can almost become the main force of daily energy supply."

"So, the company's top management decided to transform it into a ring-shaped energy supply system. They used highly durable materials to reinforce the exterior of the train cars and the tracks, and demolished all the stations."

"But if you want to output energy at a high frequency, there must be 'passengers' inside the car—and a lot of them with 'desperate' emotions."

"So the company decided to slightly adjust its original function as a means of transportation... into a 'prison'."

"Those who commit serious mistakes within the company, those caught attempting to invade the company... In short, any 'enemy' of the company capable of such emotions will be thrown into this never-ending train, drained of their despair."

"As far as I can remember, this train has been running and providing energy for the city that never sleeps for ten years... Of course, in reality, many more years may have passed by now."

"In short, this train is home to a large number of scum, traitors, and dangerous individuals, and has also become a testing ground for the company to test various new and old weapons."

At this point, Punkto covered his face in pain: "Damn it, so how did I end up here?! What on earth happened!"

He said again with some excitement.

Lin Yu nodded in understanding.

"I see. So, even though it's called 'Train'... it's actually a prison built on a train—and one that tortures prisoners."

He completely ignored Punkto's pain and analyzed calmly.

Li Nian also touched his chin: "So that's what happened."

Both "masters" indifferently let Punkdo collapse on his own.

Only Chen Zhuo couldn't help but step forward to comfort her.

"It's okay, uncle. Even though I've lost my memory and was left in a place like this, there's still room for me to leave!"

Chen Zhuo's words also reminded Lin Yu.

"That's true," Lin Yu took over the conversation and asked about new details. "I heard that all we need to do is get a 'ticket' to leave, right? What is that thing?"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Punkdo raised his head, his expression confused again.

"Tickets? I don't know... I haven't heard of any way to get off this train!"

"Maybe I'm not at that level, or maybe it was something the company created during the time I lost my memory... Anyway, if I could regain my memories of being a team leader, I might be able to give you an answer."

Punkto said apologetically.

Lin Yu waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Although we don't understand the principle, at least we know roughly where to find it."

As he spoke, Lin Yu paused and looked at Li Nian, as if asking for Li Nian's opinion.

Li Nian saw Lin Yu's expression and roughly understood what Lin Yu wanted to do, so he spoke directly: "Although this guy is not very stable... but he is a local with good skills after all - I second the proposal."

She said indifferently.

Chen Zhuo was a little confused: "Huh? What do you mean?"

Lin Yu did not answer Chen Zhuo's question, but chose to explain to him with actions.

He stretched out his hand directly towards Punkto.

"Well, Mr. Ponkdo, although we knocked you unconscious just now and you almost beat one of us to death, that was all caused by your madness."

"Now, do you want to cooperate with us?"

"Together we can find a way to get off this train."

Lin Yu extended an invitation to Punkto.

Faced with the invitation, Punkto was a little hesitant.

"I'm sorry, I haven't figured out what happened yet, and... I don't know your identities either."

"I need some time to myself."

Pangduo said this, politely rejecting Lin Yu.

But Lin Yu did not retract his hand, instead he threw out new information again.

"Okay, Mr. Ponkdo, I originally planned to tell you this after you've calmed down a bit, but now, in order to gain your trust, I'm afraid I'll have to give you a little more shock."

As Lin Yu spoke, he took out another ID and a black notebook from his arms with his other hand.

"Do you know Will Valetti? We were once friends who fought side by side."

"He was the one who gave me this ID card and notebook."

Just as Lin Yu expected.

When Punkto saw the card in Lin Yu's hand, his pupils suddenly constricted.

However, the next name that came out of Punkto's mouth was completely beyond Lin Yu's expectations.

"Oh my God, how did you get my great-uncle's ID card and notebook?!"
