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

Faced with Xia Yue's request, Lin Yu naturally had no reason to refuse.

The two of them naturally formed the first group.

Among the remaining four, Chen Zhuo and Xu Xiumei did not want to be in the same group with Bao Liu and Yao Zhengye.

Therefore, after Xia Yue invited Lin Yu, the grouping of the seven people was automatically completed.

The first group is "Detective" Lin Yu and "Veterinarian" Xia Yue.

The second group is the "thug" Bao Liu and the "thief" Yao Zhengye.

The third group is "otaku" Chen Zhuo and "teacher" Xu Xiumei.

The fourth group is "Soldier" Yu Longguo who acts alone.

After the four groups were completed, everyone took up the tasks on the schedule in order.

After confirming the tasks they were to perform, the four groups quickly left the meeting room.

After all, they don't have much time left to complete their first tasks.

Lin Yu and Xia Yue also hurriedly looked for the "engineering room" mentioned in the first task.

After leaving the conference room, the corridor outside the room also has a slightly exaggerated decoration style, with wolf heads carved on the iron candlesticks and dark red thick carpets inlaid with gold silk threads.

Looking out through some broken windows in the corridor, you can see that the outer wall is made of stone, and the style is probably that of an ancient castle.

The conference room is located at the end of the first floor of the castle. After leaving the conference room and walking along the corridor, you will soon see a spiral staircase.

Lin Yu and Xia Yue walked up quickly and came to the corridor on the second floor.

Just next to the stairs, Lin Yu saw a wooden door with a metal nameplate hanging on it.

"It's the engineering room."

Lin Yu read out the words on the nameplate.

Behind the wooden door, sharp alarms continued to sound - this was the source of the alarm they heard downstairs.

"I found it now...there's still plenty of time."

Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped forward, reached out, grasped the wooden door handle, and turned it gently.

The door was not locked, and the two of them entered the engineering room easily.

In the huge room, an old-fashioned generator was running slowly, with many halogen light bulbs on it.

One of the light bulbs had turned red and emitted a loud beeping alarm.

The generator was also connected to some other equipment, but these were all functioning normally and did not appear to require any repair.

Lin Yu and Xia Yue approached the generator.

As a weak girl and a veterinarian by profession, Xia Yue obviously doesn't know much about mechanics.

She said in a distressed tone, "How do I fix this? Isn't there an instruction manual or something?"

Although the Death Game is called a game, you cannot automatically enter the game by long pressing a key to complete the task.

For tasks like "repairing generators", you still need to troubleshoot the problem yourself!

But Lin Yu was not nervous.

"The estimated time to complete this task is 10 minutes, which means there's no major malfunction. It only seems to have a minor issue..."

"Besides, this is a Werewolf-style game after all. These 'missions' are probably just a means to break us up. They shouldn't be too difficult."

Lin Yu was thinking, his eyes fell on the storage cabinet next to the generator.

There is a toolbox on top of the cabinet, which contains some wrenches and screwdrivers.

And under the toolbox, there was a booklet.

Lin Yu gently lifted the toolbox and pulled out the booklet.

It was a thin booklet stained with black oil, with slightly curled pages, and the cover was labeled "Wolf III Generator Instruction Manual."

"Here comes the clue."

Lin Yu reached out his hand and flicked the booklet lightly, then spoke with a confident smile.

Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lin Yu with admiration: "You are indeed a real-life detective. Even without 'abilities', you are sharp enough."

Lin Yu shrugged noncommittally, then opened the booklet in his hand.

"Three indicator lights... If this light turns red, it means the engine is not lubricated enough and needs to be replenished with lubricant - it is stored in the utility room on the first floor."

This booklet was as straightforward as Lin Yu had imagined, and he easily found the problem and the solution.

"You need to go to the utility room on the first floor for the lubricant, right? I'll go get it." Xia Yue said, "I saw it on the way to the utility room."

Facing Xia Yue's proposal, Lin Yu frowned slightly, his expression a little grim: "But, we are divided into groups of two to avoid acting alone."

Xia Yue put on a smile. "However, the mission time is very tight. You should stay here and continue to study this machine. What if you get the lubricant by the time the time comes, but can't find where to add it, causing the mission to fail?"

"Don't worry about my safety. This is a very dangerous game... and like I said, I've already saved my life."

She said this with her hands behind her back and her head tilted slightly, her tone relaxed and her expression playful.

Lin Yu heard Xia Yue say this and nodded: "Okay, according to the task allocation, there are only the otaku and the teacher group on the first floor now. If you go and come back quickly, you may be fine."

"Try to keep the time within five minutes and thirty seconds. If it exceeds this time, you will be in danger."

Lin Yu said calmly.

As for why it was five and a half minutes, he did not explain to Xia Yue.

"It will definitely be quick, there's even a countdown!"

Xia Yue said with a smile, left the engineering room and closed the door.

Lin Yu was the only one left inside the door.

The calm and conceited expression on Lin Yu's face disappeared instantly.

He rubbed his face vigorously.

Until the moment when he was alone with Xia Yue just now, he was still "acting".

He’s playing a cocky and clever “detective” who likes to be in control of the situation.

Why five and a half minutes?

Lin Yu was just talking nonsense - in his opinion, the sooner Xia Yue came back, the better.

"If only I could actually gain superb observation and logical analysis skills by making others think I'm some 'famous detective'..."

Lin Yu rubbed his forehead with a headache.

He believed that he was not stupid. After all, Jiangcheng Media's Performance Department was among the top three in the country and the admission score was very high.

I usually take acting courses and self-study psychology, which are also relatively easy.

Because I joined the drama club and often performed on stage, I have a strong psychological quality and can force myself to calm down quickly.

Lin Yu even felt that he did have certain advantages in "analyzing others".

But in such a game where people could die, Lin Yu still clearly felt that his intelligence and calmness... were far from enough!

After all, Lin Yu is only a sophomore student in the acting department, and his biggest advantage is that he has a lot of experience in drama performances.

He had no way of knowing everyone's movements, nor could he truly see through everyone's thoughts and directly point out who the werewolf was, and he certainly had no way of remaining completely indifferent between life and death!

In fact, Lin Yu had vaguely felt that there was something "wrong" with this game since the beginning - from the rules to other people's reactions, there were some abnormalities in all the details!

But he couldn't figure out how to explain these anomalies.

but……

Even if you are not smart enough, you have to keep playing.

Lin Yu adjusted his mentality.

"If you can't figure out a problem, don't think about it for now."

"These five minutes or so of alone time...must be used well."

Thinking of this, Lin Yu began to search the room.
