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

After tearing off all the pages and eliminating the "interference options", Lin Yu and Forbolo quickly put all the "puzzles" together.

The torn pages of the book were spread out on the floor of the entire wooden house.

This work is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is already late at night.

The scattered pages on the ground formed four huge numbers.

“9”, “4”, “5”, “7”.

Seeing these four numbers, Lin Yu nodded with great satisfaction.

"Okay, the password should be a combination of these four numbers."

"I just don't know what the order is yet..."

There are 4!=24 possibilities for any arrangement or combination of four numbers.

There are 24 permutations and combinations, so there is plenty of time to try them one by one.

However, Lin Yu did not dare to gamble - what if this box had some self-protection mechanism and would self-destruct if the wrong password was entered?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu squatted on the ground and began to think.

But Forbolo spoke.

"The correct sequence should be 5497 or 7945... there are only two possibilities."

"I prefer 5497."

Listening to Forboluo's words, Lin Yu looked at him with some surprise.

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

Forboluo shrugged. "It's very simple. These two books are not randomly arranged in groups."

“The contents of these books are very interconnected—they all seem like textbooks for the same course.”

“Two similar books are usually of similar difficulty.”

"The difficulty increases in the order of 5497 - the order of when the books were written is also the same."

Forbolo said calmly.

Lin Yu felt incredible.

"You can still recognize it after it's painted like this?"

"Of course. Even though it's blacked out, the blackened area itself represents the number and complexity of the formulas—not to mention that there are actually quite obvious hints in the contents of these books."

Forboluo said, squatting down and pointing to one of the pages that made up "4". "Look, there is a note in the content mentioned on this page of the book, quoting the content in 5."

“7的这一节也是5的延伸——但是因为9同时提及了4和7，根据9的这一页对7的描述之前加了一句‘此外’……所以我猜测7应该是4的后续补充。”

As Forboluo spoke, Lin Yu looked at him, somewhat shocked.

Although this guy seems a bit off the mark, his ability as a detective is pretty good.

Now Lin Yu is a little convinced that this guy is a professional detective.

"You remember all these little details."

"It's no big deal. I can even understand what these things are talking about from just a few words," Forboluo said proudly. "The subjects these books talk about probably use 'emotions' as fuel and raw materials..."

"Click!"

Forbolo was interrupted by the sound of a combination lock snapping open.

Forboluo looked at Lin Yu angrily: "Hey, why don't you listen to what others say!"

While Forpolo was admiring himself, Lin Yu had already run to open the box.

"Sorry," Lin Yu opened the box door without looking up, "I'm more concerned about what's inside this box than the contents of these books."

"Let's talk about the background setting of this dungeon later."

Lin Yu said as he opened the box door.

Forboluo looked at Lin Yu and came over: "Well, I am indeed curious about what is in this box."

After opening the box...

Inside was a transparent file bag.

Inside the file bag was a black notebook, a white ID card and a key.

It appears to be someone's personal belongings.

Lin Yu opened the file bag without hesitation and then looked at the white ID card inside.

The back of the card is printed with a black logo of a burning book, and the front of the card records simple information about the owner of the card.

[Name: Will Valetti]

【Sex: Male】

【Identity: Independent Researcher】

[Clearance: B-3]

[Region: Winter Mountain]

Next to it was a photo of a somewhat gloomy young man with curly hair wearing a white uniform shirt.

His face was slightly scratched.

"It seems that this is the owner of this room."

Lin Yu muttered.

Then he opened the notebook.

Only the front third of the thin notebook was used, and it was filled with something like a research diary.

"August 8th, blizzard. The recorder shows there's a 'leak' here. Damn it, there's not even a living person here! How could there be a leak!"

"August 8th, blizzard. I slept poorly last night... I wandered around today, but didn't find anything... The few nearby human settlements have been abandoned for a long time."

"August 8th, blizzard. I've been having nightmares lately. This place is terrible. Do I really need to write about the weather? It seems like it snows forever here! Anyway, I don't have any idea what to do today - another week and I can leave here."

"August 8th, blizzard. We dug up some pretty ominous stuff... Have so many people died in this place? And there's not a single soul left on the bodies. It's too abnormal!"

"August 8th, blizzard. Is there a monster called 'Chat' in this mountain? My dreams are getting more and more chaotic! When the signal is restored, I'm going to call for reinforcements!"

"August 8th. Damn it, what the hell is going on in this place? Why are there such horrible monsters? I'm in such a bad state. I'm going to take a gamble tomorrow!"

"August 8th, I understand what happened here... No wonder it was a 'leak'. Damn it, I never thought it would take this form. This is all our fault! It's terrible!"

"8.27 I know how to deal with Chat!"

The diary ends abruptly here.

There is nothing behind it.

Watching the handwriting in the diary change from neat to messy, Lin Yu seemed to feel the increasingly worse mental state of the person who wrote the diary at that time.

He rubbed his brows.

“It’s really complicated.”

Lin Yu let out a breath.

The "truth" about this copy is getting closer and closer.

However, it also gave Lin Yu more and more headaches.

After all, his goal wasn't to restore the truth of this copy, but to find the "liar"...

Who set up this "hoax" at Solstice Mountain?

Lin Yu still had no idea.

Meanwhile, Forbolo spoke again.

"Thank you, May! Thank you for bringing me here!"

Lin Yu looked to the side and saw the great detective speaking sincerely.

But it was precisely because of this sincerity that Lin Yu was somewhat puzzled.

"No, why are you thanking me?"

Didn’t he come here with a gun pointed at this “detective”?

And Forbolo's eyes sparkled with eagerness.

"Because I just thought this was an ordinary survival dungeon, so I subconsciously thought that even if there were any 'hidden puzzles', they definitely wouldn't be worth my special trip to solve."

"But I was wrong... The puzzles here are very interesting!"

"If you hadn't found this place and forced me to come, I might have missed such a great puzzle!"

Forbolo said this, with a fanatical expression on his face.

"From now on, whether it's Chat or this mysterious researcher... I will get to the bottom of it!"

"The truth about this 'Winter Mountain'!"
