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

Chapter 594: Psychological Society, Causes and Origins

"What a brilliant and flawless performance, such terrifying insight! For a moment just now, I thought you really were that woman, and that little girl was really your sister!"

"Furthermore, you were completely restrained and didn't exaggerate at all throughout the performance. Yet, every emotional shift was perfectly captured by that thief from the Free Alliance. It was completely natural... Boss, I finally understand how truly exceptional your acting skills are. Playing Rakshasa and that 'detective' before were simply too unchallenging for you."

"Back then, it was understandable that you tricked me into falling for the role of Robin. Seriously, boss, have you really only been studying acting for two years? I thought you were a veteran actor!"

After leaving the gate of Shengle Middle School, Lao Zheng spoke incessantly.

This was undisguised flattery and fawning, so intense that it seemed as if they couldn't wait to personally present Lin Yu with a Lifetime Achievement Award in the next second.

but……

It just so happens that Lao Zheng’s direction this time is right.

"That's a bit too exaggerated. Say less."

Lin Yu stopped Lao Zheng's exaggerated praise.

However, judging from Lin Yu's tone, he was not actually angry that Lao Zheng praised him so much.

Lin Yu himself knew that Lao Zheng was exaggerating, but...

He was indeed very satisfied with his performance just now.

Lin Yu was naturally happy to be praised for his satisfactory performance.

After all, he is not a master whose mind is pure and sincere to the extreme, and whose state of mind is so open that he is not happy with things or sad with himself.

It's human nature to be happy when praised on the right points.

Although meeting Xia Yang was a bit unexpected, and Lin Yu's avoidance of Xia Yang was indeed an unexpected move under the emergency situation...

However, by using the sense of identity and intimacy created by "Xia Yang" and letting Li Nian feel the different side of "Zhu Ming" and know "Zhu Ming's" secrets and things he cares about, he successfully turned the original "offensive act" of coming to school into a relationship that is closer than that of ordinary "players" in the same organization, where they share each other's secrets.

Through this move, Lin Yu indeed brought Li Nian and "Zhu Ming" closer together!

The most crucial thing was to arouse Li Nian's empathy - Lin Yu was able to successfully achieve his desired goal, thanks to the wonderful impromptu performance just now.

"If this continues, Zhu Ming's identity will become more and more clear, at least to Li Nian."

However, Lin Yu would not get carried away by this.

"But the next dungeon I have to lead, and a 'Level 1' leading a 'Level 2', is that still a bit challenging...?"

Lin Yu muttered to himself here, and suddenly couldn't help laughing: "I almost forgot... Although 'Zhu Ming' is still 'Level 1', I am actually 'Level 2'."

"And it's a Level 2 with four [Professional Props]," Lao Zheng added, "And even if you were a normal Level 2, your acting skills alone would be incredible."

"Honestly, I think it's not an exaggeration to give your potential an S+ rating now," said Lao Zheng. "You really deserve to be my owner..."

Lin Yu listened to Lao Zheng's chattering and couldn't help but picked it up and asked.

"Although I appreciated your previous compliments, your words have been a bit excessive since just now. What exactly do you want to say?"

Lin Yuping looked at the flashing ravines on Lao Zheng's face.

Old Zheng spoke again, "I really can't hide it from you... Well, here's the thing: there were a few things in your conversation with that thief that really caught my attention."

"From what she said...it seems like you're a current member of the 'Psychology Society'?"

As Lao Zheng spoke, Lin Yu remained calm.

He knew that Lao Zheng had heard it, and he had not originally intended to hide it from Lao Zheng.

So, Lin Yu transformed the electronic coffin into a tablet computer of the "Psychological Society" and showed it to Lao Zheng.

"Yes, codename 'Clozapine'. Greetings to you, Mr. Freud, the first president."

Lin Yu said jokingly.

Although Lao Zheng has no eyes, Lin Yu can feel that it is "staring" at the tablet at this moment.

This was the first time that Lin Yu felt Lao Zheng's mental power - on the one hand, it was because the power borrowed from Lao Zheng in the last [copy] gave Lin Yu a certain understanding of mental power, and on the other hand, it was because... Lao Zheng was too focused.

"Director, no, Boss, I..."

"No."

Before Lao Zheng could speak, Lin Yu answered him decisively.

Lao Zheng was stunned: "But you didn't even listen to what I said!"

"I'm just using the Psychological Society as a springboard to meet the requirements for joining the Free Alliance," Lin Yu said calmly, looking at Lao Zheng. "So, I won't help you, and I probably can't help you."

"I can guess what you want to ask me to do, to help you greet old friends or do something in this organization, to pass on something," Lin Yu whispered, "but no, I understand that you have feelings for the Psychological Society, but I also have feelings for the Psychological Society - I hate this organization."

Lin Yu said directly and frankly.

"I hope you can understand my feelings too."

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Lao Zheng was silent for a long time: "You hate this organization because it disrupted your 'peaceful life', right? So..."

“Don’t psychoanalyze me.”

Lin Yu interrupted Lao Zheng again.

"I didn't. I admit I was analyzing the reasons why you said what you said just now, but I wasn't trying to dissect you. I was simply telling you a possibility, a possibility that is indeed favorable to me, but I didn't mean to deceive you. You know, that would be like showing off in front of an expert, so you should listen carefully and make your own judgment." Lao Zheng's speech quickened again. "What if there was no 'Psychological Society' and no 'Fluoxetine', and you were still destined to join the 'Death Game'? Your will to live will not change with time. One day in the future, when you die, you will still join this 'Death Game'..."

"Sophistry," Lin Yu said coldly, his tone tinged with anger. "This is the policy of your Psychology Society—but is it possible that I could have lived peacefully until my natural death, accepting the end of my life without regrets?"

"That……"

Lao Zheng wanted to say something, but suddenly stopped.

The light between the brain circuits flickered frequently and was a bit dazzling.

After a long time, Lao Zheng finally spoke dejectedly.

"It's not time yet, but you will understand, 'Director'...you are different."

"You'll understand—it wasn't the Psychological Society that caused all this."

Lin Yu simply took Lao Zheng back into the [Prop Space].

He let out a long breath.

"That's good now. Two of the three 'summoned creatures' have temporarily fallen out."

He muttered, and Hannah's voice rang out.

"Quack... Well, Director, would you like some soup?"
