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

"I'm not going home for dinner tonight. The club is having a dinner party."

After editing the text message, send it.

Lin Yu turned off his phone and stopped his bicycle at the intersection.

He has arrived at Changming Street.

Changming Street is located in the old city area of ​​Jiangcheng. There are no high-rise buildings here. There are low houses everywhere, and even some self-built houses.

There are small shops on both sides of the road, including convenience stores, auto repair shops and breakfast shops, which are full of simple atmosphere.

Lin Yu walked along Changming Street, counting the blue nameplates nailed on each door.

"937, 938, 939..."

Lin Yu stopped.

The 940th has arrived.

This place is larger than any other place, yet also more desolate.

Because this is an abandoned two-story restaurant.

The signboard with the words "Jiangcheng Home" is already tattered and the door lock is covered with rust.

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then walked to the window next to him - the glass was broken and only covered with a layer of paper.

He poked open the window paper and opened the window.

The windows of this old-style building were not high, and Lin Yu climbed in easily.

But the scene inside surprised Lin Yu a little.

"That's not quite right..."

Although it was dilapidated and old, all the tables and chairs were neatly arranged and the floor was spotless.

It's as if it had just been cleaned.

It's a complete contrast to the dated and abandoned exterior outside.

Lin Yu became alert instantly.

He held the polygraph and the pistol in his hands.

As for why the lie detector was taken out...it never hurts to have it.

Lin Yu looked around the restaurant nervously and even found a pillar to hide behind.

And that’s when…

"Tack, tick, tick..."

Footsteps were heard in the empty space.

Lin Yu leaned his head out slightly and looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a person walking down the stairs between the first and second floors.

He was a tall and bloated middle-aged man, wearing a sophisticated dark blue double-breasted suit and a pair of shiny leather shoes.

In addition... his body was also covered with various golden jewelry - gold watches, gold rings, gold necklaces.

The whole person can be described as "dazzled by jewels and precious stones".

He walked down the stairs and looked in the direction of Lin Yu.

"I see you, little bro—stop hiding!"

"The 'assembly' is the night after tomorrow... You're a little too early!"

The middle-aged man spoke with a strong voice.

Lin Yu still didn't dare to show his head.

Although this middle-aged man looked different from the previous "schoolmate", Lin Yu didn't dare to take any gamble.

He hid behind a pillar and asked.

"What kind of rally? I don't know!"

The middle-aged man burst into laughter.

"Oh, first time here? Calculating the time, it's definitely time for these newcomers to find the 'forum'..."

As the middle-aged man spoke, Lin Yu became even more confused.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm just passing by."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, the middle-aged man smiled even more.

"Young man, not to mention the way you sneaked in to 'scout the place', you're just like most of the newcomers I've met who are getting to know me for the first time..."

"As a veteran, let me remind you that those of us who have participated in the Death Game cannot possibly reveal the words 'Death Game' to ordinary people. Not even a hint is allowed. If you even think of it, your next words will get stuck in your throat."

"The fact that I can chat with you so smoothly proves that you are indeed a 'player'."

As the middle-aged man dressed in gold spoke, Lin Yu was still hiding behind the pillar.

He felt that this middle-aged man had not deceived him...

But precisely because they were all players, Lin Yu became more vigilant.

"Players are inherently antagonistic to each other... Aren't you even wary of me?"

Lin Yu said in a low voice.

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Young man, it seems that your novice copy is of a confrontational nature."

"In real life, there's rarely any confrontation between 'players'. We all have our lives saved, so why would we fight for our lives outside of the game?"

"As the saying goes, harmony brings wealth!"

The middle-aged man's voice was deep and passionate, and sounded particularly convincing.

Lin Yu believed him mostly, but still didn't trust him completely.

He raised the "lie detector" in his hand.

"Then swear that you won't hurt me."

The middle-aged man was very surprised.

"Ah? Swear... okay!"

He raised his right fist: "I have no ill will towards you and no intention of hurting you at all."

Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Lin Yu released the button of the lie detector in his hand.

"Beep——"

The polygraph light came on green.

Lin Yu finally relaxed his guard a little - but he didn't completely relax his guard.

After all, there is still a possibility, that is, the middle-aged man in front of him is also "lying with the truth."

However, Lin Yu felt that such "extremely low probability" events could almost be ignored when considering them.

He came out from behind the pillar.

This made the uncle raise his eyebrows.

"Wow, you're quite a handsome newcomer... And it only took you a day to find the forum, solve the puzzle, locate the meeting address, and even come here to scout the location in advance. You're truly a formidable young talent."

Lin Yu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who still maintained his good intentions, and decided to be frank: "I really don't know anything about gatherings and puzzles."

He spoke sincerely, and the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then spoke.

"Then how did you find this place?"

"Someone gave me a card with this address on it."

Lin Yu said this and took out the business card from his trouser pocket.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man walked down quickly.

Lin Yu looked at him very warily, but the middle-aged man did not do anything out of the ordinary. He just picked up the business card and looked at it repeatedly.

Afterwards, the middle-aged man handed the business card back to Lin Yu and couldn't help but mutter, "It's really strange. How could this person just give the address of the 'rally' to a newcomer like you?"

"Could it be that some 'organization' is trying to win you over... But that's a strange way to win someone over."

The middle-aged man muttered, and Lin Yu frowned.

"So, what exactly does this 'assembly' refer to?"

When Lin Yu said this, the middle-aged man pondered for a moment.

"Okay, 'newcomer'... I don't know your background, but since you don't even know this common sense, I'll explain it to you."

"Anyway, if you just find a 'forum', you can find the answers there."

"Now I'm telling you for free, so consider it a favor!"

Lin Yu felt helpless when he heard the middle-aged man's words.

"You make this matter sound so worthless, do you really want me to owe you a favor?"

"Haha, sincerity is my ultimate weapon!"

The middle-aged man said with a smile, then his expression became solemn. "Anyway, let me ask you a question first, rookie... What do you think is the standard for measuring the strength of a Death Game 'player'?"
