Death Game Starting As A Trickster Pretending To Be A God Chapter 330

[ … words ]

Lin Yu, after reading the [Ancient Notebook], knew that regardless of whether the previous reincarnation cycles had changed or not, perhaps because he had explored the fifth floor and triggered some kind of “mechanism,” this cycle had undergone some changes to the entire dungeon.

For example, according to the records in the [Ancient Notebook], he had seen many “patients” in the corridor during the previous cycles, and even received a “prophecy” the last time.

But this time…

There were no patients in the second-floor corridor.

Based on the current situation, Lin Yu analyzed that they might have disappeared, but it was also very possible that…

“Click!”

“Prophet buddy, it’s open!”

Max shook the [Lockpicking Tool] in her hand and pushed open a ward door.

Inside was an apple-headed figure dancing wildly.

Lin Yu let out a sigh.

Max said proudly, “What do you think, buddy? This little lockpicking tool really works, doesn’t it!”

“The lockpicking is really fast… it’s just that it consumes a lot of energy every time I use it, so I usually break down doors that can be smashed rather than picking the locks.”

“By the way, what business do you have with this apple man?”

Lin Yu shook his head.

“I’m not looking for him.”

Then, he looked at Max: “Please, open all the ward doors on this floor.”

Max was stunned: “Huh? What did you say?”

Lin Yu spoke sincerely: “I’m begging you!”

Max remained silent for a few seconds.

“This isn’t about begging or not begging, I’ll be exhausted to death.”

Lin Yu waved his hand: “No big deal, I have potions to restore stamina.”

“Believe me, this will be a huge help in clearing the stage.”

Max stared at Lin Yu for about five seconds, trying to find any flaws in his expression.

But all she saw was sincerity and determination.

So Max gritted her teeth and spoke.

“Alright, I’ll risk my life for this! With you and Teacher Robin in this dungeon, this is pretty much the only area where I’m useful, so putting in some hard work has its benefits!”

“Besides… if we’re lucky, it might work within the first few doors, not necessarily requiring testing every single one.”

Lin Yu gave Max a thumbs up.

“Go for it, brother, I believe you can do it.”

And now, Max, after accepting reality, had become completely optimistic.

She walked to the next door, breathed on her hands and rubbed them together.

“Here we go, this is the one!”

After opening the door, there was a tentacle monster crawling around on the wall.

“Not this one.”

Lin Yu shook his head.

Then, the two came to the next door.

When the third door opened, Lin Yu saw a familiar face.

The previous Fur Ball monster was squatting on the bed and waved when he saw Lin Yu.

“This is no place for you, young man.”

Max’s face lit up with joy: “Eh? An acquaintance? Is this the one?”

Lin Yu looked at the Fur Ball monster and asked, “Although it’s not… can we chat?”

The Fur Ball monster laughed three times: “Ha, Ha, Ha! No!”

After speaking, it suddenly exploded, its black fur plastered all over the wall.

Max was shocked.

“Wow brother, what’s going on here.”

Lin Yu spoke very calmly: “It committed suicide.”

As expected, this Fur Ball was an NPC that only gives one-time hints… and it seemed to exist outside this dungeon.

No, it might even be completely above this dungeon—after all, the hints it gave Lin Yu in the form of “fortune-telling” seemed completely related to this dungeon, but their content definitely wasn’t limited to just this dungeon.

Moreover, considering that there’s likely an open card entity existing above this dungeon lurking within it right now, it’s not impossible that this one also infiltrated, or is an incarnation of some higher-dimensional existence.

Lin Yu looked at the fur covering the entire room and closed the door.

“Okay, next one.”

Hearing this, Max let out a helpless sigh.

“Why do I have to work overtime even when playing the ‘Death Game’…”

“Forget it—the next one must be it, Amitabha God bless!”

The fourth, fifth, sixth…

Door after door was opened.

Max quickly shifted from initial optimism to helplessness.

Then to irritability and impatience, starting to mix in using an axe to chop doors.

Finally…

It turned into pure mechanical motion and numbness.

“Click.”

The lock core popped out, and the last large door opened.

Max silently put away the [Lockpicking Tools] and rubbed her face.

“I really want a can of free Red Bull that my colleague chilled in the breakroom… this should be the one, right.”

“Even if it’s not… there are no more left anyway.”

Listening to Max’s remarks, Lin Yu began to somewhat believe the content recorded in the [Ancient Notebook]—this ‘Thief’ lady would introduce herself claiming she should actually be a ‘Corporate Drone’.

Lin Yu looked at Max and patted her shoulder.

“You worked hard, brother.”

He truly didn’t expect that after parting with Chen Zhuo, he would be so unlucky—he actually had to open every single ward on the entire floor, finding the target only at the very last one.

Of course, what Lin Yu even more didn’t expect was…

This Miss Max truly had exceptional qualities—she looked like she should have run out of stamina long ago, but she actually managed to hold on through the entire process.

As for whether this room contained what they were looking for…

Lin Yu had already reached a conclusion.

“Tap!”

Although the door wasn’t open yet, the sound coming through the door crack was enough for Lin Yu to identify it.

The sound of a chess piece falling was clear and crisp, followed by two praises.

“What a brilliant move!”

“Truly excellent chess!”

Without a doubt, this was the two-headed bird man he had seen earlier in the corridor.

Lin Yu took a deep breath and kicked the door open with one foot.

He saw the two-headed bird man sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a chess board set before him.

“This is the one.”

Lin Yu said, and Max let out a sigh.

“Then I’ll rest for a while.”

After speaking, she leaned against the wall on the spot, crossed her arms, lowered her head, and became completely still.

This member of the ‘Night Watchmen’ had burned out everything she had and fell into a deep sleep.

And Lin Yu gently closed the door, then walked into the room.

The left bird head spoke friendly.

“Hoho, we have a visitor… care for a game of chess?”

The right bird head glared fiercely at Lin Yu: “Get out!”

Lin Yu looked at the two bird heads and let out a sigh.

“One without eyes, one with teeth… such a simple word puzzle, I actually didn’t think of it.”

A bird missing eyes becomes a crow, with extra teeth becomes a raven.

And an existence that uses a crow as its incarnation and just happens to have “two faces”—Lin Yu happened to know one.

He quickly walked over, grabbed the right bird head that had teeth, and spoke viciously.

“I know your acting isn’t this good, so whether this thing is your follower or you actually sealed your own memories… show your true self now and say something!”

“Otherwise, I’ll wholeheartedly follow that generous Banquet God from now on!”
