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

Chapter 1286: Outer God Authority

Lin Yu had to admit that defrauding Buye Tian Yonglian was a very difficult task.

This was also one of the reasons why he was unconsciously nervous before meeting Buye Tian Yonglian just now - if it was just a simple meeting with Buye Tian Yonglian, even though Lin Yu would be serious and nervous, he would not be tense all the time.

Lin Yu's nervousness only appears before "important performances".

For Lin Yu, fraud is naturally a form of performance.

The wise chosen one he wanted to deceive was not only a shrewd and experienced smart man, but more importantly, he was also a master at using lies to achieve his goals. As the highest-ranking official in the City That Never Sleeps, the head of a royal noble family, and an extremely outstanding head of the family, Tian Yonglian of Never Night naturally knew how to use the "art of language".

And the most terrible thing is that Buyetian Yonglian has extremely rich knowledge and life experience, and can be said to be omnipotent in the entire wasteland. It is difficult to hide any disturbance in the whole world from her.

This means that the most important information gap in fraud is often that Buyetian Yonglian holds the advantage and knows more information.

Fortunately, part of the information that Lin Yu wanted to defraud this time no longer belonged to this world - this provided an opportunity to artificially create an information gap.

If not for this, Lin Yu would not have made such a plan in the beginning, but would have simply honestly extracted some information from Buye Tian Yong Lian that she was willing to tell him.

but now……

Taking advantage of the information gap that Buye Tian Yonglian didn't know how much he knew about the "Ghost Ship" and the two authorities of "fear" and "information", Lin Yu successfully made Buye Tian Yonglian fill in the information he didn't know, so that he could outline the general picture of the whole incident that year.

The half-true and half-false stories told by Buye Tian Yonglian, under Lin Yu's deliberate guidance, the false parts...can be disproven by the information known in Lin Yu's hands.

And the true part of it was enough for Lin Yu to piece together the whole story.

The real timeline and the actions and purpose of Yonglian in Nevernight should be...

Before succeeding the head of the family, Buye Tian Yonglian was the first to obtain the [Ancient Notes] and began research on the fear project due to some arrangement by the previous head of the family or by chance.

This can be confirmed by the position in the newspaper - the ghost ship appeared before Yonglian took office as the head of the Buyetian family.

The research and records on "fear" in the [Ancient Notes] should have existed long ago...

Although at the beginning, Buyetian Yonglian may not know that the essence of fear is authority, and the records did not go into this depth.

Because she was not the head of the family at that time, and her situation required more "merits" than Huo Le of Buyetian now, so Yong Lian of Buyetian would naturally want to use the "Fear" project to give herself a chance to join the game without anyone's instigation.

And in this process... by chance, Yonglian of Buyetian discovered that the fear was directed at a god outside the world.

By then, the Snow Mountain base had been established, and Will Valetti and his teacher Dot had been conducting nominal research for some time.

However, precisely because of Buye Tian Yonglian's discovery, she naturally had different ideas about the fear project.

She thought of a more reliable way to get the position of Patriarch...

Wouldn't it be more direct to have "power" rather than "merit"?

In the bloody battle for the throne that year, Yonglian of Buyetian took the first step - she chose to cooperate with the visitors from another world, and in "Ghost Ship"... she established a connection between the power of "fear" and the will of the god who controls fear.

And the price is... the entire material reality of "Ghost Ship" disappeared from the wasteland and drifted into the gray area!

But this might be just right for Yonglian of Buyetian - this way even the evidence would disappear.

After holding the authority of "fear", Buye Tian Yonglian was active for a while. For some reason, most likely because she needed to become the chosen one of the "God of Wisdom", Buye Tian Yonglian went to the border gate again to send away the authority of "fear".

This is also the biggest secret of Buyetian Yonglian - why she knows so much about what Alan Mercury did, it is because Buyetian Yonglian was the first guy to contact the gods outside the world!

Knowing the truth of all this... For Lin Yu, he not only took the initiative for the first time in the conversation with Buye Tian Yonglian.

This valuable information will be useful to him in the long run - whether it is for further developing the [Ancient Notes] or finding the authority of "Fear", they are all useful clues.

He even had the bargaining chips to negotiate with the central authorities again next time.

but……

Such high returns, in addition to the difficulties in the early stages of implementation, Lin Yu also understood...

You also need to face the "risks" after successful implementation!

After Lin Yu took the initiative to reveal his cards, Buye Tian Yonglian already knew that Lin Yu knew most of what happened that year.

She smiled and said, "Ru... Ru..."

There was no murderous intent on Buye Tian Yonglian's part, and his expression was extremely gentle. He even spoke in an overly casual and friendly tone.

"You schemed against me like this and knew my biggest secret. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

Faced with the threat from Buye Tian Yonglian, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm scared to death, but... from a rational analysis, the probability of you killing me is ultimately low."

"Even if I knew your secret, it would be a better choice for you to cooperate with me and continue to use me."

"The fact that you took the initiative to say you wanted to kill me instead of just doing it yourself shows that... you won't kill me."

Lin Yu said calmly.

Buye Tian Yonglian put away his smile and his tone returned to normal.

"You are really confident."

Lin Yu nodded: "Because my value is high enough - whether as an assistant to Miss Huo Le, or as your new partner among the visitors from other worlds, or as your eyes and ears in other worlds."

"Even... regarding the matter of the two authorities of fear and [Ancient Notes], you can continue to cooperate with me, right?"

"Besides, we first discussed Forboluo's affairs... With this relationship, we have a natural basis for cooperation."

Buyetian Yonglian looked at Lin Yu: "Are you really A'luo's friend? Why do I feel like... you seem to be deliberately taking advantage of the relationship between you and A'luo, and me and A'luo?"

Lin Yu was silent for a moment, then he said firmly, "This is how we two get along. I think... as a friend, Forboluo shouldn't mind me using him like this."

"What's more, I'm doing this to avenge him."

Having said that, Lin Yu paused again.

"Although, he probably wouldn't do that to me."
