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

Chapter 1454 Night in the Cage, The Elf's Heartbeat

Although Medalo, the "Great Sage," seemed to be completely fooled by Lin Yu's simple lies, he was actually a very clever and perceptive fellow.

After all, there are very few people in the world who can avoid the "targeted scam" that Lin Yu has meticulously planned.

Therefore, after Medalo broke free from the numb state that was almost a self-protective mechanism to prevent himself from completely collapsing, he was immediately able to deduce Lin Yu's intentions from his questions.

"You mean...you want to go to other areas and want to know how to get over these walls?"

Lin Yu looked up at the high wall and spoke as if sighing.

"Yes, I can't just stay in one area all the time..."

“This is, after all, the territory of the ‘God of Fairness and Judgment.’ If possible, I would like to maintain as much courtesy as possible and follow the rules he has set,” Lin Yu said, touching the [Ancient Notebook]. “So… I would like to learn from you about the patterns that your elven race has discovered.”

Medalo nodded and said, "I see... You've come to the right person."

“You should have noticed that there are two types of walls here—one type extends straight to the sky and divides large areas; that type is called the ‘boundary wall’.”

"Another type of wall, which is shorter and divides the area into 'smaller areas', is called a 'dividing wall'."

"There are many ways to cross the 'wall of separation'—first, many 'guardians' have the 'permission to cross the wall of separation at will', and some even have permission to bring people across the wall of separation. So all you need to do is find a 'guardian' who is willing to carry you across the area."

"At the same time, you can also challenge individuals in other areas—as long as you know the specific information of an individual in another area, you can 'initiate a duel request' and wager the other party's right to move freely in his area. After winning the duel, you can gain an additional area where you can be active."

"Also, when the light of the Ring of Heaven goes out and you enter the so-called 'night' inside this cage, if you are in a state of 'free movement', you can try to cross the 'wall of separation' directly on a physical level."

Lin Yu had already made a judgment after listening to Medalo's words.

"These are the three types that you discovered?"

Medalo said with shame, "Yes, only these three."

Lin Yu looked at Medalo and said kindly, "Don't make it sound like there are only three, which is very few. In the realm of the gods... to be able to find three paths left behind, regardless of whether these paths were intentionally left behind by the gods, is already a remarkable thing."

“Tell me about the third thing—about the ‘night’ and ‘physical crossing’ here. I’m new here and don’t know much about the ‘night’ situation.”

As Lin Yu spoke, Medalo nodded again and began to explain the situation at "night" and the method for crossing the "wall of separation" at that time.

"When the Ring of Heaven shines, in the 'daytime' of this cage, the guardians will prevent you from crossing the 'Wall of Separation'."

"At the same time, the 'wall of separation' itself also has a 'repulsive' force on those who try to climb over it."

"But at night... although it's not explicitly stated, based on our valuable experience, neither the Watchers nor the Dividing Wall will stop you."

"However, although it sounds feasible, in reality, none of us elves have been able to truly succeed... After all, when 'night' comes, the restrictions on each individual's abilities in this cage will reach their peak."

"Compared to the current situation, the intensity of the restrictions is probably nearly a hundred times stronger, almost to the point of completely banning all 'extraordinary' powers. To be more precise, any power that can be controlled by an individual, initiated by the individual's will, and manipulated through subjective will to directly affect reality, including the individual himself, will be almost completely ineffective."

As Medalo spoke, Lin Yu understood Medalo's meaning very clearly.

After all... his "communication" was indeed very accurate.

"I see... I understand now."

Lin Yu spoke.

"Are you planning to... try this method to get over the 'wall of separation'?" Medalo asked curiously.

Lin Yu nodded.

"Yes, this sounds like the way the owner here tacitly approves, and it's also the way that will cause the least impact and trouble."

Lin Yuping spoke calmly, looking at the "wall of separation".

"Don't you have any research on how to cross the 'border wall'?"

Medalo nodded: "Yes, the 'wall of boundaries' cannot be crossed... After all, prisoners within the same large area are essentially 'of the same level' and 'of the same kind,' so even if they leave their own small area, it doesn't seem to be a violation of the principle."

"But if the prisoner can cross the 'large area'... I'm afraid that wouldn't be acceptable to the 'god of fairness and judgment'?"

"Of course, these are just my speculations, after all, none of our people have ever reached the foot of the 'Border Wall'."

"The races and prisoners imprisoned in our neighboring regions have shown a rather unfriendly attitude towards our entry into their territories—and since we elves only travel in one person at a time, it is naturally difficult for us to cross too many territories."

Medalo said.

Lin Yu did not reply to Medalo, but simply raised his head a little higher and looked at the highest point of the dividing wall standing on the side of the square. Behind the towering top of that gray wall, which was definitely hundreds of meters high, one could vaguely see an even deeper gray that could be described as "heavy" and resembled a giant mountain.

That was the "boundary wall" several small areas away, on the other side of which were prisoners confined for crimes such as "civilized destruction".

Although it was a "wall" and not a "mountain," Lin Yu intuitively felt...

"If mountaineers could come here, they would probably be quite happy..."

Unfortunately, the "Mountaineer" doesn't belong to the "Order." If she were to come here, she would probably be captured by the "Order."

However… based on Lin Yu’s understanding of the eccentricities of the members of the “Freedom Alliance,” he felt that if mountaineers knew about the situation here, there was a possibility that they might be deliberately dragged in.

Lin Yu's thoughts wandered a little, but he quickly gathered them back and brought his "thinking thread" back to thinking about "serious business".

Lin Yu looked at Medalo again and spoke in a low voice.

"Although I have no evidence, I might think... that the methods you have explored for crossing the 'wall of separation' may also be applicable to crossing the 'wall of boundaries'."

As Lin Yu spoke, Medalo paused for a moment: "Is that so?"

"It's just a guess... Alright, Great Sage, how long until 'night' arrives?"

Medalo looked at Lin Yu, thought seriously for a few seconds, and replied, "Probably after my heart beats three hundred times."

Hearing Medalo's answer, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little pity for the elf in front of him.

Lin Yu did not see any "timekeeping" tools in this "eternal cage".

At least not in the area where the elves are imprisoned.

Making people lose their sense of "time" may also be part of the punishment—it makes them unable to know when everything they are experiencing will end.

Unknowable and uncontrollable, these qualities seem to be subtly linked to the prefix "eternal" in this cage.

"Eternity"...sometimes is the harshest punishment.

Even the simplest and mildest torment, when combined with the word "eternity," is enough to drive someone to the brink of collapse.

The moment a prisoner loses perception of time, the torment they suffer subjectively approaches the level of "eternity."

Therefore, Lin Yu admired the elf in front of him.

At least Medalo has found a way to calculate time.

However, admiration and pity were very minor emotions for Lin Yu at this moment, and he quickly put them aside.

For Lin Yu, what truly matters is...

How often does your heart beat?

Lin Yu asked helplessly.

He had no idea how long an elf's heartbeat lasted.

Lin Yu had never seen an elf before... Moreover, even if he had, he might not know the elf's heart rate.

While this may seem very basic in biological population data, it is often difficult for people to understand it immediately.

Just like most people have seen chickens, eaten chicken meat, and can distinguish the appearance of chickens, some people can even understand the chicken's diet, various types and growth cycle, and can name some diseases that chickens are prone to.

However... very few people know that a chicken's heartbeat is generally around 300 to 400 times per minute.

The same principle applies to elves.

In particular, although the elf in front of him had his magic and spells greatly restricted, he still seemed to have some kind of magical protection that automatically activated to block prying and probing, and could also just right block Lin Yu's weakened senses.

Lin Yu could only roughly judge from the number three hundred and the fact that the "Celestial Ring" should not be extinguished within a few minutes that the elf's heartbeat was not fast.

Faced with Lin Yu's question, Medalo realized his slip of the tongue and spoke up.

"Please feel and experience for yourself the frequency of my heartbeat."

With that, Medalo stepped forward, released the magical protection from his body, and pointed to his chest.

Lin Yu used his mental power to sense Medalo's location and then listened to the elf's heartbeat.

"Boom-thump-"

Heavy and slow.

Rather than a "heartbeat," it's more like a balloon slowly deflating and inflating.

It took almost a full minute for the heartbeat to complete this time.
