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

Chapter 1044 Dangerous Cockpit

Lin Yu was greatly shocked when he heard Li Nian’s “Practical Tips for Middle-aged Men to Hide Their Own Money”.

"I have no idea about this kind of operation... and aren't you a high school girl? How did you know?"

"Old Wu told me first," Li Nian said proudly, "and then I discovered...stealing middle-aged men's private money is quite fun. The amount isn't huge, and they're afraid to tell anyone about it, but it's their own money they've worked so hard to save...losing a hundred or two hundred makes them feel worse than if someone else were robbed of thousands or tens of thousands."

Lin Yu looked at Li Nian, and for the first time, he felt awe for this "master thief" in his heart: "Seriously, you are a bit scary."

"Don't say that to me," Li Nian waved his hand. "I'm not short of money, so I'll just appreciate their anxiety for a few days and then return it."

Lin Yu looked at Li Nian suspiciously: "Going back? Are you so kind?"

"Of course, I'll hand it over to their wives."

Li Nian showed a bright and cheerful smile.

Lin Yu looked at Li Nian, was silent for a moment, and then gave a thumbs up: "If a married man offends me in the future, I will hire you to avenge them for me."

The two chatted while raiding the treasury, and soon collected a huge amount of money.

Basically, all the valuable materials have been looted. Li Nian clapped his hands and said, "Okay... let's go!"

"Now that we have plundered the centralized resource points, we must not let go of the remaining guest rooms."

As Li Nian spoke, Lin Yu and Li Nian walked out of the vault.

Because they entered using "authorization cards", the alarm measures here were useless to them - even after almost emptying half of the safe, no alarm was triggered.

The two men swaggered out of the casino and then discussed their next steps in front of the casino.

The casino provides direct access to the other top-floor rooms—there are far fewer of them than the densely packed ice-cube-like rooms on the first floor.

Although the front cockpit occupies part of the space, the bottom line is that these are the most luxurious suites and they occupy a lot of space.

There are only 12 guest rooms on the entire top floor.

The two men went towards the bow of the ship first.

"Beep."

Li Nian used the black card and, as expected, opened the door of Room No. 1.

"Ahaha, this thing can actually split other people's rooms," Li Nian said with emotion, "What kind of person can hold this card?"

Although there is a certain possibility that the owner of suite number one happens to be the owner of this black card, Li Nian believes that the probability is very small.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and said casually: "Maybe it's the cleaning lady?"

"How humorous," Li Nian shrugged. The two of them walked around suite number one. "It looks like no one lives in this room."

Lin Yu was not surprised: "It's normal that this top-level suite is not fully occupied."

"That's a shame, let's go to the next one!"

As Li Nian was speaking, Lin Yu stopped Li Nian who was about to open the door of suite number two.

"Wait a minute—won't you try this door?"

The doors to the top-floor suites in the front half of the cabin are located on both sides of the corridor, with three doors on each side.

But what Lin Yu was pointing to at this moment was the seventh door in the corridor - at the end of the corridor towards the bow of the ship.

There was no room number on the door, but a metal plate with the words "Cockpit".

Li Nian narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, you have a point... I just subconsciously overlooked it."

"Although the cockpit wouldn't be as luxurious as these suites, since it's a bonus level, there's no need to save time. It won't delay me anyway..."

Li Nian picked up the black card, and as expected, the cockpit door was opened again.

"Beep!"

A pleasant voice sounded, and then the door was easily pushed open.

Then, Lin Yu and Li Nian saw the interior of the cockpit - the circular panoramic glass provided a better view than the observation deck, and most of the complex instrument panels and indicator lights were functioning normally, with only a small part showing red, indicating a fault.

"It seems that there is a malfunction in the power system or something."

Lin Yu muttered.

Li Nian was a little surprised: "You can also understand the dashboard of the cruise ship?"

Lin Yu shook his head: "No, but if the power system is fine, then the ship should still be moving."

And now...

The ship was hovering on the sea surface - although it swayed slightly with the waves, it was not moving forward.

"But this cockpit is too clean," Li Nian said, looking around. "I can't tell anyone has ever been here before... Compared to other places, there's not even a trace of anyone here."

Li Nian analyzed and said, "Could it be that the people in the cockpit received some news and evacuated early?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "I don't think so. Or perhaps the opposite is true... If there really was a disaster where everyone disappeared at once, then this cockpit might have been the worst hit by that unknown 'disaster'—that's why it's so 'clean' now."

Li Nian asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

"Because this is the 'newest' part... I had a vague feeling just now that this ship doesn't seem like a cohesive whole. The corridors and lobby on the first floor look a bit old, as if they've been in operation for three or four years, while the casino looks like it was only built a year ago," Lin Yu looked around the cockpit. "And here—it looks like it was only completed a few months ago and hasn't even been put into use yet."

"Another piece of evidence is that there are no clocks on this ship. Not only clocks, but also newspapers, magazines... anything that can reveal the time is not on this ship. Not even the slot machines or pinball machines have countdowns."

Lin Yu was finally able to clearly explain the sense of disharmony he felt.

Li Nian also reacted: "So, the changes encountered here may be related to 'time'?"

As soon as the words fell, a sharp sound suddenly rang out throughout the cockpit.

"Warning! Warning! Warning!"

The red light sounded, the sound was sharp, piercing and noisy.

"What warning are you talking about?"

Li Nian shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Look at the glass!"

As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian looked straight ahead.

On the glass in front of the cabin, densely packed black palm prints of varying sizes appeared one after another!

"pat, pat..."

A wet sound was heard.

Li Nian was horrified: "What's going on? Are you trying to scare me again?!"

But this time, the situation is obviously different from before.

Because the next moment...

"boom!"

The door of the cockpit behind him was closed and locked, and then black liquid began to seep out from the cracks in the floor below the cabin!
