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

Rationally speaking, Lin Yu completely understood why Forbolo considered him a member of the "Psychological Society".

After all, he was hiding a lot of things and looked very suspicious.

Combined with Forboluo's analysis just now, Lin Yu felt that if he stood in Forboluo's perspective, he would also feel like a guy from the "Psychological Society".

only……

From an emotional point of view, Lin Yu was a little unhappy about being treated as a member of the "Psychological Society".

"Do I look that mentally ill?"

He looked at Forboluo and asked helplessly.

Forboluo looked at Lin Yu cautiously: "To be honest, you are a little startled..."

"But it seems you're not really from the Psychology Society."

"Why are you so sure all of a sudden?"

Lin Yu looked at Forboluo and asked curiously.

"Because the people in the Psychological Society never bother to hide themselves," Forboluo sighed. "In a sense, they are quite open and aboveboard."

"Among the three recognized 'anti-order' organizations, the 'Psychological Society' is the most legitimate."

Forboluo said, and Lin Yu nodded.

"Yes, I really have nothing to do with that organization. Or rather... I even have a grudge against them."

This time, Lin Yu did not act or hide his feelings, but directly expressed his emotions.

Forboluo sensed Lin Yu's ill will towards the Psychological Society: "It's obvious that those lunatics are quite annoying... Anyway, since you're not from the Psychological Society, I'm relieved."

Forboluo held his waist with his hand as if in relief and continued, "Let's get back to the dungeon... Anyway, the organization operating in Winter Mountain is called 'Truth Company'—and traces of their activities can be found in many dungeons of the 'Death Game'."

"Also, once you've come into contact with this company's NPCs... it seems they'll add you to their database. If you become hostile towards them, you'll need to be even more cautious the next time you encounter them in a dungeon."

Forbolo reminded.

Lin Yu suddenly realized: "So, that's why you have been hiding this matter?"

"Yes, at first I thought you were from the Psychology Society, so I thought I'd just trick you." Forbolo lifted the waistband of his cotton trousers. "But since it was all a misunderstanding... I have to explain everything to you clearly."

"Are you sure you want to get involved in this mess?"

Lin Yu looked at Forboluo and exhaled slowly: "We're already here, why not?"

"I'm really curious about the truth behind all this. What's more... there's an extra reward, isn't there?"

Lin Yu's words were half true and half false.

After hearing this, Forbolo probably thought that Lin Yu was talking about the extra reward of "unraveling the mystery".

But in fact……

Lin Yu was talking about his upgrade mission.

Forbolo gave a thumbs-up.

"Well, May, my good brother, I was right!"

"In that case, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you, sir!"

Listening to Forboluo's words, Lin Yu was speechless.

What does "not making a mistake" mean?

How did they become “good brothers”?

So you weren't the one who was thinking of yourself as the "Psychology Society" and being on guard against all along?

But one shouldn't hit someone who smiles at him, so Lin Yu didn't want to spoil the fun.

The two continued walking towards the corridor, and soon...

A ray of light appeared ahead.

According to Lin Yu's calculations, although the corridor has a long and gentle downward slope, he and Forbolo have been walking for more than ten minutes!

At present, the two people have gone at least fifty meters underground.

"After meeting with the people from 'Truth Company'... what do you think is ahead?"

Lin Yu asked, and Forboluo shook his head.

"I don't know either. After all, I've only come into contact with them three times."

"But I did hear the sound of water."

As Forboluo spoke, Lin Yu nodded slightly.

He did hear the faint sound of water coming from the bright light ahead.

Both Forbolo and Lin Yu unconsciously slowed down their pace.

Finally, they walked out of the corridor and stood on the top platform of a staircase.

Looking down.

Beyond the already spacious corridor is an even more expansive space.

A natural cave that seems to be able to fit the entire factory appears before our eyes. Cold light strips with a very high-tech feel are embedded in the surrounding rocks in circles, illuminating the entire space.

And here...

There is indeed a whole factory!

Tall metal tanks and various instruments stand everywhere, connected to each other by metal pipes. The lines are smooth and the surface is glossy, which looks very advanced.

However, this huge factory built with these advanced instruments is now abandoned.

Most of the instruments and pipes were soaked in pitch-black oil.

The black and sticky oil formed a lake.

And in the middle, there is the only huge instrument that is still in operation. It looks like a metal heart.

The instrument itself was also constantly vibrating, beating like a real heart.

There are two huge holes on the top of the instrument. Every time the instrument beats, dark oil will flow out of the holes.

This is also the source of the water sound heard by Lin Yu and Forbolo.

"It really is a 'leak' in the physical sense," Lin Yu exhaled. "Then the question is, what is the relationship between 'Chat' and these things?"

Forbolo's face was solemn.

"I don't know, but these things... give me a bad feeling."

"Nothing that 'Truth Inc.' has come up with is simple...especially this technology that transforms 'emotions' into physical objects."

"If I'm not mistaken, the emotion that this 'black oil' originates from is 'fear'."

Hearing what Forboluo said, Lin Yu nodded.

"I also think these represent 'fear'..."

He suddenly remembered the tips he had received as a "teacher".

Chat is not alive.

This sentence could be interpreted as meaning that Chat was dead, or it could be interpreted as meaning that...

Chat is not some kind of living creature.

Lin Yu raised his head and looked in the direction of the machine.

"When I was a kid, I watched an animated movie with a very similar setting..."

"A group of monsters uses human fear as energy, and in order to collect their fear, they scare children."

"We've all heard about 'Snow Monster' and 'Chat' from the NPCs, but..."

"None of us have ever seen these things."

"Even Chat's method of killing people is to scare them to death in their sleep!"

As Lin Yu spoke, Forboluo suddenly understood.

"You mean, the so-called 'Chat' might not be a real 'creature', or even a thing!"

"Yes."

A gentle voice sounded behind the two of them.

The flowing black oil spread to the platform under the feet of the two people, and finally gathered into the shape of a young man with curly hair.

Will Valetti, wearing a white coat, appeared in front of Lin Yu and Forboluo.

"As you said—"

"'Chat' is the name of a project at the 'Truth Company' where I work."
