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

Chapter 1419 An Unexpected Encounter in the Corridor

While strolling around the second floor of the rest area, Lin Yu already had a general plan in mind.

The best way to create the illusion that Yan Guang has left is probably to go directly to Xi Chen.

If Yan Guang were to leave the venue, he might not inform Mikan, but he would definitely inform Xichen.

Moreover, leaving the venue for the sake of doing something for "Xi Chen" is also a good reason—a reason that even "Mikan" probably wouldn't find any flaws in.

of course……

Lin Yu had to mentally prepare himself before dealing with Xi Chen under the identity of Yan Guang.

Just as Lin Yu was about to head to the rest area where Xi Chen was...

He suddenly saw a somewhat unexpected figure at the end of the corridor.

With her black skirt, veil, sun hat, pale skin, and slender figure, Lin Yu almost thought he was seeing things.

But he reacted quickly.

"Is it... a 'mortician'?"

What is she doing here?!

Rather...

How did this guy sneak in?

Did she sneak in on her own, or did she sneak in with other members of the "Freedom Alliance"?

Didn't they know that Nioh was also at the venue? How could they do something so audacious!

In an instant, Lin Yu gained a new understanding of the madness of the "Freedom Alliance's" actions.

"That's really 'free'!"

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Yu immediately changed his course and strode towards Xiao Yun's location.

Xiaoyun seemed to be wandering around the venue as well, and Lin Yu quickly caught up with her.

Seeing the dark-skinned, muscular man rapidly approaching her with a seemingly clear purpose, Xiaoyun didn't seem flustered at all. She even stopped and tilted her head to look at Lin Yu.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Lin Yu looked at the other person and said very politely, "You look a little unfamiliar. May I ask who you are and why you are in the candidate rest area on the second floor?"

Xiao Yun spoke calmly and without changing her expression: "I am Bai Yun, a member of the 'Dugu Jian' campaign team."

Lin Yu made a slightly puzzled expression: "Oh, 'Baiyun'... I don't think I've ever heard of such a person in his team."

Although Lin Yu didn't know exactly how many people were in "Dugu Jian's" team or who they were, he was certain that Xiao Yun had just made it up.

Xiaoyun calmly added, "I'm just an insignificant nobody in the team, it's normal that you don't know me."

"A nobody? I don't think the 'Dugu Jian' team is strong enough to consider a mere 'third-tier' nobody," Lin Yu suddenly challenged, "Who exactly are you? What are you planning, sneaking around in this corridor like this?!"

But Xiaoyun remained calm and composed in the face of Lin Yu's change of tactics.

“I am not a ‘third-tier’, are you mistaken about something?”

"Besides, I'm not here to spy... I just want to find a restroom."

As Xiaoyun spoke, Lin Yu stared at her.

After a long while... Lin Yu pointed to the direction on his left.

"The bathroom is over there."

Xiaoyun nodded gently: "Thank you, Lord Yan Guang."

With that, she turned and prepared to leave.

Lin Yu called out to her.

"Wait a minute, I didn't say you could leave... This is really strange. A 'third-tier' expert who knows me, but I don't know you. Who exactly are you?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Xiao Yun stopped in her tracks, and then...

"Shh-!"

Lin Yu felt a flash of cold light in front of him, and the metal tip of a black parasol was aimed at his throat.

Xiaoyun's move was even more unexpected than anyone imagined!

Lin Yu dodged to the side. Xiao Yun, having missed her attack, did not pursue. Instead, she took a beautiful silver revolver, twirled it half a turn in her hand, gripped it, and then pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

Flames shot from the muzzle as a bullet hurtled straight at Lin Yu's chest.

"It's an unfamiliar [tool]... No, it's more like she deliberately concealed her abilities, so she didn't use her preferred methods!"

Lin Yu took the bullet head-on, and some blood bloomed on his chest.

He felt a slight pain, but immediately took out a reusable healing agent and healed most of his gunshot wound.

Xiaoyun's attack was swift, but Lin Yu could tell that... this was not Xiaoyun's true level.

After all, he had considered that he was now Yan Guang, so he didn't use too many [props] or methods, but he still managed to withstand Xiao Yun's attack.

The two sides, both feigning their true selves, have surprisingly achieved a delicate balance in their battle.

Xiaoyun looked at the injured Lin Yu and spoke with utmost composure.

“You are weaker than I thought, Yan Guang… If you can pretend you didn’t see me, I might spare your life.”

"if not……"

Xiaoyun slightly raised the muzzle of her silver revolver, aiming it at Lin Yu's head.

Lin Yu was currently "injured," so he pretended not to dare to make any rash moves.

He originally just wanted to find out why Xiaoyun was there, but he didn't expect the other party to act so decisively.

After all, Lin Yu thought that Xiao Yun had some well-prepared identity disguise to rely on when she infiltrated this place, but he didn't expect... he had underestimated how impulsive these people from the "Freedom Alliance" were.

Judging from Xiaoyun's reaction, she might have sneaked in on a whim without any preparation, and might even have come alone—although it was indeed a bit strange that Xiaoyun, who seemed relatively reliable and steady, was the one who did this…

However, no matter how "reliable" and "steady" Xiaoyun is, it is only within the context of the "Freedom Alliance".

She is essentially the same as other members of the "Freedom Alliance," the type who prioritizes her own will in her actions.

But anyway...

Lin Yu definitely doesn't intend to fight Xiao Yun to the end.

After all, we can't really go all out to capture Xiaoyun and leave her here, and let those people called "Player Mutual Aid Association" and "Order" catch her, can we?

more importantly……

His own identity isn't clean either!

If he and Xiaoyun went all out, even without revealing the abilities belonging to 'Director', 'Zhu Ming', and 'Schreber', there would definitely be a lot of props and methods that didn't seem to come from 'Yan Guang'.

If that happens, my impersonation will be exposed, which is definitely not a good thing.

So Lin Yu also raised his hand.

"Although I don't know who you are, I can pretend I didn't see you."

"However, I'm still very curious... Now that you know I've figured out you're not a member of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association,' who exactly are you?"

Xiao Yun said indifferently, "Since you asked, I won't hide it anymore... I am 'Ayu,' a member of 'The Raiders.' I'm here to gather intelligence in preparation for the final assault."

Lin Yu looked at Xiao Yun. He never expected that this girl, who seemed quite gentle and even a bit Buddhist when she was in Zhu Ming's identity, would be so enthusiastic about lying without batting an eye in front of others.

Moreover, she was actually quite good at lying—if Lin Yu hadn't already known her background, he might not have been able to tell whether what she said was true or false.

At least if Yan Guang were here, he certainly wouldn't have seen through it.

No... If it were Yan Guang himself, he might not have doubted that the other party was not a member of the "Dugu Jian" team, and would have believed Xiao Yun's words on the first try.

Of course, Lin Yu didn't intend to expose Xiao Yun now. After hearing what she said, Lin Yu cooperated by showing a surprised and angry expression.

"It's a 'Raider' guy... You have some nerve!"

"Don't you know that 'Nioh' is also inside the venue right now?"

Lin Yu spoke in a low voice, and Xiao Yun blinked: "Really? So 'Ren-o' is here too?"

“Why would I lie to you?” Lin Yu said seriously. “Even if you scare me temporarily, it’s almost impossible for you to escape from here.”

Xiaoyun pouted, her face full of disbelief: "If 'Niou' were here, he would have discovered me long ago... In fact, I wouldn't have been able to sneak in in the first place."

As Xiaoyun spoke, Lin Yu, his expression unchanged, looked at the muzzle of the other party's gun and said, "Renwang just didn't pay attention to these things before. If you kill me here or continue to fight me, he will definitely notice. So you need to understand that now it's not just you threatening me, we are threatening each other."

As Lin Yu spoke, Xiao Yun raised the muzzle of her gun slightly: "That's not necessarily true. After all, our 'Raiders' also have 'Heavenly King' and 'Diviner' in charge this time. If 'Benevolent King' attacks me... then naturally 'Diviner' will deal with him!"

Xiaoyun spoke seriously, and Lin Yu almost lost his composure.

She's making it sound so serious!

However, just as Lin Yu was about to speak again...

"Bang!"

A metallic clanging sound rang out.

Xiaoyun and Lin Yu turned around at the same time and suddenly noticed that in front of the automatic beverage vending machine on the other side of the corridor, a very tall, thin man who looked to be over 1.95 meters tall had just bought a can of Want Want milk.

The man was wearing a loose crimson cardigan, a black vest underneath, bright fluorescent purple athletic shorts, and a pair of brightly colored basketball shoes.

Meanwhile, his hair was extremely short, so short it seemed to be stuck to his scalp, but it was dyed a fiery bright red.

This person's outfit and appearance are really not flattering; his taste is questionable. He looks like a flamingo with the ability to display its peacock tail feathers.

He turned the Want Want Milk can upside down, bit open the bottom of the can with his teeth, took a sip of the milk, looked at Lin Yu and Xiao Yun, and casually said.

"Don't worry about me, you two just continue."

The moment that deep, magnetic voice rang out, even though the medium of transmission had changed and electromagnetic waves were no longer used as a medium, Lin Yu immediately recognized the voice.

He secretly felt a sense of foreboding.

Because of the guy in front of me...

It's "Nioh"!
