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

After Charmander rigorously repeated, "The clearance condition for the three of us teamed up in our dungeon is 'reach Liu Town'," Lin Yu felt a brief sound from the [One-sentence Lie Detector] in his pocket.

This means that what the other person said is indeed true.

Although the [Mind-Seeing Mirror] and mental perception can also assist in lie detection, Lin Yu can even eliminate most cases of deception through observation alone.

However, this [One-sentence lie detector] does not require judgment or operation, and determines the truth or falsehood based on the law of causality.

Therefore, at this very critical moment, Lin Yu naturally would not be stingy with the use of the [props] and chose the safest way to confirm that the other party was not lying.

Lin Yu let out a breath.

"Very good, now there is no doubt."

Deadshot nodded. "It seems that Mr. Clozapine is using some kind of lie detector to verify the truth of what we said, right?"

"of course."

Lin Yu did not hide it either.

Squirtle suddenly looked at Lin Yu warily: "Should we give this guy a lie detector test too..."

"That's not necessary," Charmander said after some thought. "He just mentioned the condition of 'reaching Liu Town' first. If he was lying to us, how would he know what our conditions for passing the level are?"

Lin Yu countered Charmander: "That's not necessarily true. If my clearance condition is something like 'prevent anyone from entering Liu Town within five days', it's easy to infer that the clearance condition for players hostile to my faction is likely to be entering Liu Town."

Lin Yu said, and the little fire dragon nodded: "I see."

Deadshot said: "Since you said so, I might as well test it!"

As he spoke, the guy put away his gun and took out a black crystal box with a shining surface.

The box opened and a white bat with small wings flew out.

Deadshot said, "Please repeat it as well."

Lin Yu also repeated the sentence "The clearance condition for the three of us team players in our dungeon is 'reach Liu Town'". Then the white bat flew to Lin Yu, circled twice and then returned to Deadshot.

Deadshot put it back into the box and said, "This is a variant of the 'Heart-Eating Bat Demon' from Night Vale. It feeds on the dishonesty of humans... It didn't react to you just now, which means your words were correct."

After both sides confirmed that what the other said was true, they finally became convinced of one thing...

"Isn't this really a 'competitive copy'?"

Li Nian said with disbelief.

"That's great," Squirtle breathed a sigh of relief. "At least we don't have to face the Thief anymore."

As he spoke, Lin Yu shook his head.

"No, this may not be a good thing."

"If you're going to be teammates with the three of us, then this dungeon's strength is designed based on the six of us," Lin Yu said calmly. "The three of you should all be 'Level 2'... I'm only 'Level 1', but I can responsibly say I can be considered to have 'Level 2' strength."

"Six 'Second Stage' players, and two teams of three... This means that if it weren't for the [Counter-Instance], the pressure we would face from the instance itself would be even greater."

"The reason we determined this dungeon to be a [Confrontation] dungeon is largely because the 'reach Liu Town' requirement is too simple for our current situation. Therefore, we believe that more difficulty may come from other players... This means that this dungeon may contain more dangers and difficulties than we currently understand."

Lin Yu analyzed it in a very logical way, and Charmander nodded repeatedly.

"That makes sense. Perhaps this dungeon is closer to a puzzle game than a survival game... At least it should incorporate many decryption elements!"

Charmander said, and his words were recognized by his two teammates.

"So, we'd better share our experiences," Li Nian said, holding his chin. "It just so happens that we are indeed encountering some... somewhat strange situations right now."

Afterwards, Li Nian briefly explained how they had been mixed up with the escort team, and told them about the abnormal attacks of the demons, the abnormal "cargo" transported by the escort team, the living dead in Chenjiabao, and the disappearance of the two escorts just now. Several special events.

Charmander, Deadshot, and Squirtle were stunned by these experiences.

"I feel like this dungeon is actually quite strong," Charmander said with emotion, "There are people who appear to be dead but are actually alive, people who appear to be alive but are actually dead... and there are also people who have disappeared inexplicably."

“That all sounds very tricky.”

As the little fire dragon spoke, Lin Yu looked at them and asked, "Did you have a smooth journey? Oh, by the way, I haven't asked yet, how did you find this Chen Family Castle?"

When the little fire dragon heard what Lin Yu said, he answered honestly: "The initial location of the three of us entering the dungeon was not where the escort team met, but in a dilapidated Taoist temple. There was a skeleton in the temple, and it looked like it had been dead for a long time. But now that you mentioned it, we didn't check it carefully. Maybe the skeleton is alive."

"Anyway, the skeleton's clothes were rather tattered, so it was easy to see he had a torn map in his arms, with several routes marked that led to different human settlements."

"One of the routes leads to Chenjiabao—and it's the closest one, so we came here first."

As Charmander spoke, Deadshot nodded and added, "Basically, the situation is just as Charmander said. However, I would like to add that we didn't choose Chenjiabao randomly. It was because there was no direct route to Liu Town marked on the map."

"So, our goal is to get to the human gathering place as quickly as possible and ask for directions - but unexpectedly, we ran into you here."

"The old man from Chenjiabao said that a escort team had already moved into the stone house. There were three people in the team who, like us, didn't look like locals. We guessed they might be the remaining players, so we came here to negotiate."

After Death Shot finished his replenishment, Lin Yu nodded and raised a question.

"Can you show me your map?"

He took the map and, based on the route on it, worked his way back to the location where Charmander and his group first entered the [copy].

The location of that Taoist temple seemed to be not much different from Chenjiabao as his original location was from Chenjiabao.

This made Lin Yu a little confused.

"That's strange, why are you later than us?"
