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

Chapter 1343 Lin Yu’s Destination

Without Qiu Xinli's obstruction, everyone quickly and smoothly returned to the K11 area and arrived at the jurisdiction of Zhenli Company under the guidance of Dongming Shuliu.

With the successive attacks and Qiu Xinli's appearance, no matter how confident Buye Tian Huo Ming was, it was impossible for him to continue wandering around the wilderness with Lin Yu.

What's more, the most urgent thing she needs to do is to report her experience to the headquarters of Truth Company, and negotiate with the Universal General Chamber of Commerce and the Divine Power Group respectively to maximize her benefits.

At the very least, the Universal Chamber of Commerce must first send back all the pioneer team members and equipment that are still in the base.

The situation for the Qiu family and the Shenli Group is not particularly urgent.

When it comes to events of the magnitude of "Qiu Xinli assassinating himself", it is necessary to take it step by step.

"In short, we must first understand the purpose of the Qiu family's actions... and wait and see what Mother says."

"Until then, Director Arthur, Mr. Forbolo, you can stay in this base. I've already transferred all available Truth Company personnel in the wasteland here. It will soon become an 'absolutely safe' place," said Huo Ming, sitting in the base's lounge, chewing some powerful herbs. "If you two wish to continue exploring, we'll wait here until all negotiations are completed and the situation is confirmed to be safe before setting off again... It will probably take about two weeks, and I can't guarantee a specific timeframe."

"Of course, you two can choose to return to Never-Sleeping City temporarily. In that case, tomorrow I will mobilize a large-scale pioneering team. After obtaining the current permission, I will directly use the Never-Sleeping Tian family's banner to personally escort you back to Never-Sleeping City."

Huo Ming of Buyetian proposed two solutions.

And these two plans sounded to Lin Yu...

I don’t really want to choose.

But before he could speak, Buyetian Huoxing raised a question first.

"Eh? What about me?"

"You should stay here. With all the commotion going on right now, some people who don't fully obey my orders might come in contact with me," Huo Ming looked at his sister. "After all, you didn't come to the Great Wilderness openly... So, after the storm is over, I'll find a way to secretly send you back."

"During this period, you may not be able to move freely and must continue to pretend to be my 'advisor'... but I will try my best to give you some room to move."

Buyetian Huoxing fell into deep thought and quickly accepted this fact.

"That sounds like a good idea—then let's do as you say, Sister Huo Ming!"

Although for normal people, especially normal nobles, the shorter the time spent in the Great Wilderness, the better, no one likes to live in the Great Wilderness for a long time.

But the Nevernight Fire Apricot is clearly an exception.

Seeing that Buyetian Huoxing happily accepted his proposal, Buyetian Huoming also vaguely felt that he seemed to have grasped some of the key points in getting along with his sister.

Then she looked at Lin Yu again.

"So, Arthur, what is your choice?"

Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huoming and smiled: "Both proposals are very thoughtful. Respected Mr. Buyetian Huoming, thank you for your careful consideration for me."

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Huo Ming from Buyetian reacted.

"From what you said... you probably don't plan to choose any of these options?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, respected Lord Huo Ming of the Nevernight Sky - I intend to act on my own in the Great Wasteland. I implore you to cooperate with me in leaving here secretly."

"You can send Mr. Forbolo back to the City That Never Sleeps, or you can leave him here and announce to the public that I have the same itinerary as Mr. Forbolo, but I will act alone."

Huo Ming frowned. "Although I had a feeling you might have such an unrealistic idea, I didn't expect you to actually bring it up."

"The Great Wilderness is no joke. None of the places you're going to are easy... Mother asked me to escort you for this reason."

"What's more... you've been targeted - if someone of Qiu Xinli's caliber comes looking to assassinate you next time, can you really escape alone?"

Lin Yu looked at Huo Ming of the Nightless Sky with a calm expression: "Sir, I have acted alone in the wilderness before. I have also been to more dangerous places and even faced more terrifying opponents."

"Believe it or not...I'm confident I can handle it."

"And I'm not asking for your opinion—the head of the family has never ordered me to follow your instructions, so... I'm just presenting my plan to you."

Huo Ming looked at Lin Yu and said, "What if I insist on you staying here?"

Lin Yu laughed: "That's perfect. If I can break through your blockade, I can surely prove my ability to you."

Huo Ming stared at Lin Yu for a long time before she spoke: "If something really happened to you and I couldn't support you in time, causing your death... I will tell mother that this was your own decision."

Lin Yu nodded: "Of course, I am naturally prepared for this."

"Then go ahead," Huo Ming said, waving his hand. "Just don't let my men see you."

Lin Yu nodded, turned around and prepared to leave.

Then, Huo Ming from Buyetian suddenly called him again.

"and many more."

"What else, sir?"

Lin Yu turned around patiently and asked.

Huo Ming's brows furrowed even tighter than before. "I still have a question in my mind... Your plan to act alone? Could it be that someone who suspects me has revealed your whereabouts?"

Lin Yu shook his head.

"Of course not. I've been with you all this time, so it's impossible for me to doubt you... and I don't think there's any traitor or collusion within your team."

"After all, the enemy has too many ways to lock onto our position."

Lin Yu sighed, and Huo Ming of Buyetian also agreed with this point of view.

"Indeed... So, do you think that if you act alone you'll be less conspicuous and less likely to be found?"

Lin Yu didn't answer directly: "I have considered this... but you are going to ask about my 'core motivation', right?"

Huo Ming nodded: "Yes, your decision seems a bit strange to me, so I'm curious why you made such a decision."

Lin Yu laughed: "Because even though you have been in the Great Wilderness for a long time, your thinking is still that of an 'aristocrat'... You take 'my life' too seriously - I don't cherish it as much as you think."

"For someone like me, life is just a gamble... I have to consider not only the risk, but also the opportunity and time."

"Stay here or return to the City That Never Sleeps are both 'safe' options... But I have to consider what happens if something unexpected happens in the Great Wilderness after the company's negotiations with the Divine Power Group and the Universal General Chamber of Commerce, preventing me from conducting further investigations and thus missing out on my only chance in this lifetime?"

"For me, that is a consequence even more unbearable than 'death'."

After hearing this, Huo Ming of the Buyetian fell into a long silence.

After a long pause, she whispered, "Good luck to you then."

"I accept your good words."

Lin Yu said this and turned to leave.

Huo Xing from Buyetian watched this scene and savored Lin Yu's words just now, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"What a cunning fellow... Arthur is indeed very good at 'acting'."

"Whether it was playing the role of 'Phor Polo' when we first met, or this time pretending to be in danger... including now deceiving Huo Ming, there are almost no flaws."

"It's just...what exactly is he planning to do?"

However, although Buyetian Huoxing was curious and knew that Lin Yu had other intentions, she would not expose Lin Yu.

She even helped her friend smooth things over in front of Huo Ming from the Nevernight City.

"Don't worry, Sister Huo Ming," Huo Xing from Buyetian said with a smile, "That guy's ability to protect himself and escape may be even better than you think."

"Even if you and the other two companies team up to hunt him down, he might still have a chance to escape."

When Buyetian Huoming heard what Buyetian Huoxing said, he fell into deep thought.

Ever since he witnessed the strength of his younger sister, Huo Ming of Buyetian naturally did not dare to underestimate her opinions.

Even though Buyetian Huoxing's words sounded very strange, Buyetian Huoming still asked tentatively after thinking about it.

"Is it that powerful?"

"It's true."

Buyetian Huoxing nodded and said seriously.

In fact, she really had no evidence to prove that Lin Yu could do this.

But Nevernight Huoxing was not talking nonsense or deceiving Nevernight Huoming.

Because even though there is no evidence, Huo Xing from Nevernight herself feels that...

Lin Yu might actually be able to do what she just said.

……

……

……

Above the wilderness.

After leaving the Zhenli Company's base for a distance, Lin Yu released Lao Zheng again.

"Old Zheng, help me navigate to my next destination."

Lin Yu whispered. The physical Old Zheng beside him pushed his glasses and said, "Okay, boss, wait for me to track it down... Got it—come this way."

Lin Yu nodded and began to move forward along the route marked by Lao Zheng with his mental power.

There is no doubt that what he said to Huo Ming of Buyetian just now was indeed a lie based on the character of "Arthur" and purely for the purpose of convincing the other party.

Because Lin Yu had already investigated the scene of Captain Gao Shan's death and had a rough idea of ​​the mission conditions and cause of death of Forbolo and Gao Shan at the time.

Naturally, he would not continue to investigate those places that were listed for Huo Ming of the Nevernight City, which were just "suspicious".

So, Lin Yu's destination...

Of course, I will continue to pursue that key clue.

He walked through the sandstorm on the wasteland and looked up at the sky.

A giant aerial hub, like a metal fortress, was moving slowly above the high school.

That was the "KS-001" aerial fortress of the Divine Power Group nicknamed "Sky King" that he had seen before.

at the same time……

This is also where Qiu Xinli is.
