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

Although Yin Lan wasn't on 'Fishing Guy' Chen Le's list of mentally ill people, judging from her remarks just now, she's also someone whose mental state isn't quite normal.

Although they may be far from making the list, this kind of thought process is definitely not that of a normal person.

This confirmed Lin Yu's suspicions once again...

Sure enough, the "players" of the "death game," especially the seasoned and skilled ones, all have their own mental problems.

Of course, Lin Yu wasn't quite sure whether the "Death Game" would inevitably drive people crazy, or whether only people with mental problems could become experts in this "Death Game," or whether it was both.

At least judging from the results, this is a common phenomenon.

"Why didn't Yin Lan show such a peculiar way of thinking before? Was it because she restrained herself when facing the 'director' who was a member of 'Order,' or because she hadn't been drinking at the time?"

Lin Yu pondered inwardly, looking at Yin Lan who was already slightly tipsy, and gave his answer as 'Zhu Ming'.

"I'm sorry... I refuse."

Yin Lan looked surprised when she heard Lin Yu's refusal.

"Huh?! Why?!"

Seeing Yin Lan's shocked expression, Lin Yu couldn't hold back any longer and showed an even more confused expression than Yin Lan.

"Why do you seem so surprised...? You were inviting a member of the 'Freedom Alliance' to join 'Order,' and being rejected is really that unexpected."

"No matter how you look at it, it's highly likely that I'll reject you!"

Hearing Lin Yu say this, Yin Lan looked at Chen Le beside her, pointed at Chen Le and spoke to Lin Yu again: "Are you worried that this guy will retaliate against you? Don't worry... as long as you agree to join 'Order', I will definitely protect you—we in 'Order' will definitely guarantee your personal safety."

Chen Le couldn't hold back any longer, but because Yin Lan's speech was so shocking, Chen Le, who was originally hostile to Yin Lan, had now completely let go of his hostility towards her.

He sighed and said, "You really have something wrong with your head... Even if 'Dog Trainer' really leaves our 'Freedom Alliance,' we won't retaliate against her."

"Even if we join 'Order,' we will still regard her as a friend or even family member—leaving the organization is not a betrayal for us."

Yin Lan stared at Chen Le, then looked at Lin Yu: "You see, he's also afraid of 'order'... so don't worry."

Chen Le, even more exasperated, rubbed his forehead and said, "If you say so, then so be it."

Listening to their conversation, Lin Yu clarified and reiterated, "I don't not want to join 'Order' because I have concerns or fear of retaliation."

Yin Lan asked, somewhat puzzled, "You're such a strange person. What's wrong with joining 'Order'?"

“I know ‘Order’ is very strong, of course… but with great power comes great responsibility, and with more members comes more rules,” Lin Yu looked at Yin Lan. “Haven’t you noticed that ‘Dionysus’… ‘Order’ and ‘Freedom Alliance’ are, in a sense, the most completely different organizations—the differences are even greater than those between ‘Order’ and ‘Raiders’.”

"The 'Order' is an organization with the strictest internal rules and regulations and organizational discipline, and it also requires its members to take responsibility... However, these are precisely the things that the 'Freedom Alliance' completely lacks."

As Lin Yu spoke, he looked at Yin Lan and said earnestly.

Yin Lan frowned: "That's true... but the 'director' is in charge of 'order', right?"

"Are you really willing to spend your whole life separated from him by two different organizations, with you in the 'Freedom Alliance' and him in the 'Order', living a life with such different stances?"

"Don't you want to walk side by side with him in the sunlight, openly and honestly?"

Lin Yu said, "He and I were already in the sunlight—'A gentleman seeks harmony but not uniformity,' have you heard of that, 'God of Wine'?"

Then, Lin Yu spoke again with a smile.

"And even if we really wanted to stay in the same organization... it would definitely be me inviting him to join the 'Freedom Alliance'."

As Lin Yu was speaking, Chen Le immediately chimed in, "Heh, I have no objection."

Yin Lan immediately retorted, "What a joke! The 'director' would never do such a thing—he would never join the 'Freedom Alliance' just for you."

"Yes, so I won't join 'The Order' just for the sake of being a 'director'."

Lin Yu responded.

Yin Lan stared at Lin Yu, then drank another glass of wine, but the drunkenness on her face lessened somewhat: "Very good... I have confirmed your thoughts."

"I'm telling you this partly because I genuinely admire you and the 'director,' and partly... because I really don't want to make a move against you."

“The ‘Secretary’ once said that I’m sometimes too soft-hearted and too easily ‘kind to others,’ and I admit that… Although I may not be friends with the ‘Director’ now, because I’ve confirmed that he’s a good comrade, I can’t help but want to consider his feelings—as the ‘Director’s’ partner, I don’t want to hurt you.”

"However... I have overcome many of these personality issues, and I will not allow my weakness to lead me to make any fundamental mistakes."

"Now that you have stated your position, after the banquet ends... I will regard you as an opponent just like 'The Fisherman'."

Yin Lan said coldly, and Lin Yu nodded slightly: "Then I am honored."

Hearing Lin Yu's lukewarm response, Yin Lan simply snorted.

"Fishing Guy" Chen Le said, "You're very confident, Miss Dionysus... But your opponent is me. Do you really think you have any strength left to deal with anyone else?"

"Instead of saying that, if things really come to a head, your priority should be how to leave 'Pure Ruins' and the Central Sea alive."

Chen Le said the threat calmly.

Yin Lan didn't seem to care about Chen Le's threat: "Then we'll wait and see... But don't forget, 'Fishing Guy,' I also have helpers."

"Perhaps it will be you who needs to consider this issue when the time comes."

Chen Le looked at Yin Lan and asked, "What, besides you, does 'Order' have any other experts with the spare capacity to come here? Don't bluff—I know you're already overwhelmed enough in Shenzhen."

“It’s not just empty talk… You’ll know once my helpers arrive,” Yin Lan said, glancing at Lin Yu again. “It will be too late to regret it then.”

As Yin Lan spoke, Lin Yu narrowed his eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't regret it."

He began to ponder... Who exactly is the helper who makes Yin Lan so confident?

After all, Lin Yu had already briefly reviewed the situation and found that there were indeed very few experts among the members of "Order".

While Yin Lan might be able to temporarily summon regional inspectors and administrators like "Knight" and "Nicholas," or even some captains, those high-level experts... would definitely not be enough to contend with if the "Freedom Alliance" were the hypothetical enemy.

Although Lin Yu and Chen Le did not intend to call for reinforcements, Yin Lan was certainly unaware of this.

Even now, 'Order' is completely unaware that Fang Qing is essentially unable to take action.

Although opportunities for someone like Fang Qing, who is only one step away from the fifth rank and is at the top of the fourth rank, to make a move are very precious, and we usually don't consider situations where they directly take action... we definitely have to consider the reinforcements and help she can indirectly provide.

and so……

Yin Lan's confidence under these circumstances is somewhat intriguing.

Not only Lin Yu, but also Chen Le, the "fisherman" who seemed quite normal on the side, was obviously thinking about this question and estimating who the reinforcements from "Order" would be.

While the two were thinking...

"Thump, thump!"

A heavy sound came from the doorway.

This time, the door wasn't pushed open directly—instead, someone knocked on the door from the outside.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yin Lan looked at Lin Yu and Chen Le and smiled.

"Hey, they're here faster than I thought..."

As she spoke, at the behest of the host of the banquet, the octopus "Ka," the two octopuses also walked to the door and slowly opened it.

At the same time, Ka also arrived near the door and spoke again.

"Welcome to the 'Central Sea Feast'... May I ask where these two distinguished guests come from, what their names are, and what brings them here?"

At the entrance, two figures, one standing in front of the other, appeared in the center of the doorway.

Standing a little further forward, almost pressed against the door, was a tall woman, possibly close to two meters in height.

She wore a bright blood-red off-the-shoulder dress with a long train that trailed on the ground.

Even though she was already as tall as a basketball or volleyball player, she still wore a pair of black stiletto heels.

The tall woman's hair was styled in an updo, revealing her snow-white, swan-like shoulders and neck, as well as the magnificent necklace she wore around her neck—three rows of deep purple teardrop-shaped gemstones spread out like a fan, reflecting dazzling and brilliant light.

Not only this gemstone necklace, but her earrings, rings, bracelets, anklets, and headdresses were all made of various bright purple, red, and pink gemstones, making her look absolutely dazzling.

This woman looked more like she was attending a banquet than anyone else present.

She was so dazzling that many people subconsciously overlooked the simple girl standing behind her, wearing thick glasses, white casual clothes, and looking all smiles.

Just by looking at this guy's appearance and aura, Lin Yu could tell that... the guy in front of him was a master among masters.

The reactions of Chen Le and Yin Lan beside him were enough to confirm Lin Yu's thoughts.

"You 'Order' are willing to recruit 'Raiders' as accomplices to deal with our 'Freedom Alliance'?"

Chen Le looked at Yin Lan and said.

Yin Lan said helplessly, "This is obviously not someone I hired... Am I out of my mind to hire this guy..."

As she spoke, Yin Lan looked at the woman standing at the door.

"This guy is... a 'King'!"
