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

Chapter 838: A Dangerous Talk

Lin Yu listened to Gary Townsend's words and sighed.

"Your Excellency is truly worthy of being the strongest adventurer... Your analysis is quite thorough."

Gary Townes was right.

When he was underground, Lin Yu did not kill Netssanchi, the director of the Inquisition in Lilai City.

After all, for Lin Yu...

Why would you kill an indigenous person who is almost your "slave", powerful and has a certain status?

I have almost no foundation in the Night Valley world. Wouldn't it be nice to keep him as a chess piece that I can use?

Of course, this purpose could not be told to Gary Townes in full.

Lin Yu looked at the old cowboy-like strong man and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I have no bad intentions - what I do is also beneficial to Night Valley and the people here."

"But I find it hard to believe your words about letting go of a dangerous individual who created a powerful dark race," Gary Towntes said gravely, one hand in his trouser pocket. "I know you, the visitors from another world... although you are all human, your human identity doesn't justify your firm stance."

"Of course, since you all don't belong to this world, I can understand that. But how can I believe that you, the one who 'let Netssanchi go', are one of the visitors from another world who are close to humans?"

"Didn't you also let him go?"

Lin Yu looked at Gary Townsend and asked back.

Gary Townes shook his head. "I came to this conclusion after a long period of observation and analysis..."

"That only proves that I'm smarter and more perceptive than you," Lin Yu said bluntly, slightly changing Schreiber's usual humble and low-key tone. "Although I may not be as strong as you...but in terms of judgment and information gathering, it doesn't matter who is better at fighting, right?"

Gary Townsend looked at Lin Yu.

The other party's somewhat ostentatious tone did not hurt him at all.

"You're quite confident, but... at least my power ensures that in this conversation between us, I'll always be in control." Gary showed the gun on his waist with his hand outside his trouser pocket. "So, my friend... you really have to try to convince me that you don't side with the Abyss."

"I can tell you that I, too, have a grudge against the dark creatures. Even though I'm not from this world, demons have destroyed my hopes. I've also slain high-ranking demons before, and there's even a mark on my soul."

"But that doesn't prove anything... You can absolutely believe this was a case of gangsters robbing gangsters. Given your understanding of visitors from other worlds, you deliberately detained this snake descendant and prevented me from passing. This shows that you were already full of suspicion and prejudice against me from the very beginning."

Lin Yu further asked, "So, Mr. Gary Tangtes, I am more curious than I am trying to defend myself. If my explanation does not satisfy you... how will you 'deal' with me?"

Gary Tangtes looked at Lin Yu: "The worst result is just killing you."

"But... it seems that it is not necessary now. We just need to observe for a while."

Lin Yu laughed: "Killing me is understandable. They're worried that I'm the kind of player who's close to the dark race... But observing, what's there to observe?"

"If you doubt me, wouldn't it be easy for you to just kill me? You don't really care about the [Gold Cross], do you?"

Gary Towntes shook his head. "Of course I don't care about that. I don't care where you got this [Gold Cross Medal] from. It has nothing to do with me."

"Actually, I don't doubt you at all, because... compared to what you actually said, I have my own way of testing."

Gary Tangtes said as he raised his hand and picked up an instrument.

There was a green light flashing on it.

"You haven't told a single lie since just now... So, you think what you're doing, at least, doesn't mean any harm to Night Vale."

"This is the [Super Lie Detector] I personally crafted using the demon's soul as its 'mark.' It can detect whether you are telling lies at the soul level."

Lin Yu looked at this [Super Lie Detector], and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

It's really scary. This thing is definitely his nemesis as a "trickster" - no way!

From the first day he got the [One-Sentence Lie Detector], Lin Yu knew that although this [prop] was rare, it still existed.

Therefore, Lin Yu has always been a person who does not tell lies unless necessary - after all, sometimes the truth is enough to accomplish a lot of fraud.

This habit has almost become Lin Yu's instinct.

And "Night Valley" is the birthplace of this "One-Sentence Lie Detector" - from the moment he saw that old man Gary Townes firing a gun and heard that he was the "Werewolf Killer", Lin Yu realized...

The gun in this guy's hand is a more powerful version of the [One-Hit Revolver]!

Therefore, it is absolutely reasonable that he has a more powerful version of the [One-Sentence Lie Detector].

Based on this assumption, Gary Townsend's small action of putting one hand in his pocket, which looked like he was pressing a button, always made Lin Yu feel extremely familiar.

and so……

Lin Yu took advantage of this in turn.

It was precisely because Lin Yu realized in advance that the lie detector might exist, and it actually existed as he had guessed...

This seemingly uneventful conversation, which was actually fraught with crises, was finally able to come to a smooth conclusion at this moment.

Gary Tangtes looked at Lin Yu and came to a conclusion: "So, there's nothing wrong with your position—at least, you really believe that you are doing something beneficial to Night Vale and humanity by letting the director of the Inquisition go. You do have a feud with the Abyss and are full of hatred, and you have killed a dark species..."

At this point, Gary was somewhat helpless: "Of course, you really seem to think that I am smarter and superior than you."

Lin Yu shrugged: "Forgive me, sir, being questioned for no reason is always a bit emotional."

"Understandable."

Gary Townes nodded.

Lin Yu looked at the other party's loosened fingers and the extinguished lie detector indicator light, and asked again: "So, now that you are sure that my position is correct, what else do you plan to observe?"

"Strategy and potential. Some people have good intentions and positions, but the results they achieve may not be positive. If I discover that your thinking is flawed... while I won't kill humans with sound positions, I will certainly 'correct' them to prevent your actions from contributing to the growth of the Abyss," Gary said, adding, "However—if your strategy and position are sound, I won't let you stay in vain."

"Based on the potential you demonstrate, I will also give you some help!"
