Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God
Chapter 281: Deal Sealed
Facing the other party's accusations, Lin Yu sighed.
It seemed the situation was optimistic but not completely optimistic.
Subjective "loyalty" didn't exist.
But there were still objective hard constraints preventing him from harming Lin Yu.
"I don't have any psychopathic preferences, this was an accident for me too, okay?"
The other party calmed down.
Although Lin Yu had already ended his [False Face] disguise, because of the peculiar relationship between the two, this Delta Team leader could still recognize that the man before him was the "girl" who had brainwashed him earlier.
He sneered angrily: "So your psychopathy just involves disguising as a woman? That sounds like something those bastards from Supreme Evolution would do!"
"I'm not from any company in Sleepless City, and of course, not from the Great Wasteland either..."
Lin Yu tried to explain to him, but unexpectedly discovered...
He could suddenly talk about things like 『Death Game』 and 『Player』 with this Delta Team leader.
So, looking at the already quite unhappy and pained leader, Lin Yu decided to add more fuel to the fire.
"Listen to my explanation, I don't come from your world, and this isn't your world anymore either..."
Lin Yu spent about twenty-something minutes briefly explaining and used various phones and searched videos as evidence to help this outstanding Truth Corporation employee roughly accept this setting.
The tall armed man sat in the computer chair in front of Lin Yu's desk, holding his head in his hands.
"So, I'm just a game NPC?"
Lin Yu shook his head: "No, although from my perspective you're an NPC... based on my observations, these game dungeons should all be real worlds—it's just that compared to our world, your worlds are somewhat desolate, dangerous, and smaller in scale."
"Whether your world was created by gods or requisitioned, you're all genuinely living people, not just existing for the game."
Lin Yu explained.
The Delta Team leader sighed.
"But... I can't go back, can I?"
Lin Yu used the fresh [Mind-Peeping Eyepiece] to take a look.
The Delta Team leader's emotions were vividly displayed before him—a large mass of blue with some gray around his body.
Lin Yu couldn't understand it.
But fortunately, the [Mind-Peeping Eyepiece] had analytical functions.
"75% despondent, 13% confused, 10% sorrowful, 2% resentful."
Looking at these emotions, Lin Yu patted the other's shoulder.
"Don't be too upset, this unlucky game of mine is played once a week... if I'm lucky and randomly get near Truth Corporation's area, it'll be like you're getting home leave."
"Besides, you probably didn't have many relatives or friends originally anyway, right?"
As Lin Yu spoke, the Delta Team leader raised his head, somewhat annoyed.
But ultimately, because he couldn't harm Lin Yu, he could only angrily punch his own thigh.
"Whether I have relatives and friends or not is none of your business!"
"Of course it is."
Lin Yu was very calm: "What I'm actually more curious about is... what's your relationship with Pang Kedo? Clone? Imitator?"
As he spoke, Lin Yu stepped forward and, while the other couldn't resist, easily removed the helmet from his head.
What was revealed from under that helmet...
was a face almost identical to Pang Kedo's, just slightly younger and not as haggard and gaunt.
Lin Yu had actually learned about the existence of the "third injustice" earlier than Fu Luo.
Because as the holder of the [Ancient Notebook], he clearly knew that what was inside the notebook at that time definitely wasn't generated based on Baron Coleman's memories—this was something Baron Coleman himself admitted.
In other words, that face really did look quite similar to Pang Kedo.
Combined with Pang Kedo's memory loss...
Based on this, Lin Yu could boldly speculate.
CEO Paris most likely controlled someone who looked quite similar to Pang Kedo.
Even Fu Luo noticed that the wound on Reed's back wasn't from Pang Kedo's usual weapon, so how could Baron Coleman not notice?
He suspected that his close friend must have possessed some decisive evidence.
Like... footage or something similar.
An existence that had undergone the same modifications as Pang Kedo and looked almost identical.
And now this new Delta Team leader, Pang Kedo's successor and Paris's confidant, almost perfectly fit the criteria.
Although before removing the face covering, Lin Yu was only guessing.
But now the facts proved...
Lin Yu had guessed correctly.
"You bastard!"
After Lin Yu removed his face covering, the Delta Team leader "Pang Kedo" before him seemed somewhat angry, but aside from glaring furiously, he could do nothing to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu spoke calmly.
"Whether you're willing or not... in the future, the two of us will have to cooperate and coexist for a long time—and frankly speaking, this cooperation isn't equal."
"Because if I die, you will definitely die."
"If you die, I can still live."
"I've already been honest with you just now, and I'm showing my true face now... so, even if you want to keep your origins secret for now, at least tell me your name."
The Delta Team leader let out a long sigh.
Indeed, he was completely dependent on someone else now.
So...
"You're right, I am a new human created by Paris using Supreme Evolution's immature technology, secretly created from Pang Kedo's genes."
"In a sense, I can be considered his more perfect version."
"I don't have a special name, Paris calls me Zero-One... that's my serial number, you can call me that too."
At this moment, Hannah poked her head out.
"Then you can let Director-sama give you a name, he's really good at naming!"
But Lin Yu shook his head.
"No, he should have a name."
The Delta Team leader before him looked slightly surprised, then nodded.
"Well, when I was in the Great Wasteland before, I had a name... called Stiller, which means tranquility in the Great Wasteland language."
"Nice to meet you, Stiller."
Lin Yu smiled and extended his hand to the other.
The one named Stiller, who looked almost identical to Pang Kedo but with a sharper and more flamboyant expression, hesitated for a moment, then slowly extended his hand as well.
"Okay... Director, right?"
Their hands clasped together, then Stiller released his grip.
"I have one last question—what is that talking pink mollusk next to you? A special intelligent lifeform from your world?"
Stiller looked at Hannah and asked suspiciously.
Lin Yu shook his head: "No, this is Hannah, like you, she's from some dungeon... probably not from the same world as you or me."
"Although our world has octopuses too, they don't talk."
Stiller found this even stranger: "Octopus?"
"A type of marine creature, don't you have them where you're from?"
Hearing Lin Yu's words, Stiller showed a puzzled expression on his face.
Finally, he had a sudden realization.
"So your world has oceans—in Sleepless City and the Great Wasteland, those are already almost mythical legends!"
