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

Chapter 1281 Soul Fragments

Listening to Buye Tian Yonglian's words, Lin Yu was not surprised at all. The other party already knew the fact of Fu Luo's death.

He looked at Buye Tian Yonglian and spoke in the same extremely calm tone.

"Sure enough, the 'most important' thing we mentioned is the same thing."

"The question I want to ask you is... what exactly happened to him in the city that never sleeps last week?"

Buye Tian Yonglian sighed deeply when he heard Lin Yu's words.

"Did A Luo really meet with an accident?"

"You're asking this question because you're investigating the murderer of A Luo, right?"

Lin Yu nodded.

"Yes, let me answer your question... Forbolo... was murdered."

"After he left the City That Never Sleeps and returned to our world, he was ambushed and killed."

"And his murderer... I have reason to suspect that he is related to a group of people I'm investigating."

"I was investigating a secret organization hidden among us visitors from another world, and they put a bounty on my head. After they put a bounty on me, Forbol took the initiative to investigate the same organizations that put a bounty on me without my knowledge... and then, he was murdered."

Lin Yu clenched his fists when he said this: "So, I need to find out the truth."

"He was such a brilliant detective when he was alive. I absolutely cannot let his death be shrouded in mystery."

Buyetian Yonglian heard this and pondered for a moment before adding, "You and A'Luo are indeed very good partners..."

Lin Yu looked at Buye Tian Yonglian: "But forgive me, Mr. Patriarch, I didn't know before that Forboluo was so important to you."

"I didn't expect you to consider his issues more important than the 'Fear' project."

Buyetian Yonglian sighed again and said, "It's normal for you to think this way. After all, I've long been accustomed to being regarded as the cold-blooded head of the Buyetian family... But, I do have feelings."

"From the perspective of the Patriarch of the Buyetian Family and the man behind the scenes at Truth Company, A Luo is naturally less important than the Fear Project and Huo Le's succession... After all, from a profit perspective, his greatest role is simply to be a helper I chose for Huo Le."

"But I do have feelings for him. A'Luo is indeed a very good friend to me, regardless of age difference. He is a very interesting and intelligent man, but he is not as arrogant as most of the intelligent people I have met," Buye Tian Yonglian said softly. "To be honest, he really looks a lot like Huo Le's father, my first husband..."

At this point, Buyetian Yonglian immediately added, "But don't get me wrong, at my age, I don't really have any thoughts about him in terms of men and women anymore... It's just that you're still young and probably don't understand what it feels like to suddenly meet a young person who resembles your deceased partner after twenty or thirty years of loneliness."

"No matter how cold-hearted I am, no matter how much I've abandoned many emotions because of this position, but... I've climbed so high and sit so firmly in this position, and I've killed so many people to secure this position and the interests of my family and company. I still have the right to be a little willful, right?"

As Buye Tian Yonglian spoke, a momentary sigh appeared on his face.

Lin Yu looked at Buye Tian Yonglian and felt the other party's "true feelings" for the first time.

The head of the Buyetian family seemed to really care about Fu Luo - he didn't just treat her as an interesting passerby who told her stories for entertainment.

But... treat Fu Luo as a very important friend.

This is... really unexpected.

Not only was it unexpected that Buye Tian Yonglian would value Fu Luo so much, but it was also a bit unexpected that the other party was willing to tell him these things on his own initiative.

Lin Yu was thinking about these subconsciously, but he quickly interrupted these thoughts.

"No matter what, it's a good thing that Buyetian Yonglian cares about Fu Luo more than he thinks."

"She's more likely to become my ally... and she might be able to provide me with more help than I expect."

Lin Yu thought about it, then looked at Buye Tian Yonglian.

"Forboluo holds a greater place in your heart than I imagined... Then it seems I can count on you."

"Of course, if you find out who killed him and you can't solve the problem yourself... find a way to lure him to the City That Never Sleeps... or even the Great Wasteland."

Buyetian Yonglian said calmly: "I will cut that guy into pieces."

Lin Yu nodded. "If I really can't handle it, I will do this. Although I really want to kill the murderer myself, judging by the fact that he was able to secretly kill Forboluo in our world without alerting anyone, that guy must be very powerful."

"However, Master Patriarch, I'm curious about one thing... How did you know that Forboluo had left? Master Huo Le and the others in the Nightless City don't seem to be aware of this yet."

Buyetian Yonglian pursed his lips and said, "Before I met you, I wasn't entirely sure—because after A'Luo left here, some of the techniques I left on him were temporarily disconnected from my perception, or perhaps my perception wasn't very clear."

"I'm sure he's probably in some kind of danger, but I don't know the extent of that danger. I just have a vague suspicion that the situation might be dire."

"But after seeing you... I knew that something had indeed happened to A Luo."

Lin Yu continued to ask: "What I want to ask is, why can you confirm this from me so confidently?"

"On the one hand, it's naturally because you came to see me. This in itself is a sign," Buye Tian Yonglian replied. "As for the real reason... it's naturally because of the [Ancient Notebook] you're carrying with you."

Looking at the surprised Lin Yu, Buye Tian Yonglian whispered, "I have also used that thing for a long time. Now that it has fallen into your hands, I naturally know it... Don't worry, since I pretended not to know about it before, I will naturally not embarrass you again."

"After you came back, I sensed through some of the methods I had used on A-Luo... that you had placed some of A-Luo's soul fragments in that notebook—and they were fragments of a soul that had already 'died.'"

Lin Yu was silent for a long time, then nodded.

"I didn't expect you could sense it."

After Yong Lian laid his cards on the table, Buyetian continued to ask directly, "So, what were you planning to do by putting those soul fragments in there?"

Lin Yu thought for a few seconds and finally answered as if he had made up his mind.

"Of course I want to see... if I can make Forboluo appear again in another form."
