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

Chapter 1326: Battle for Puppet

"Nine hundred? The one, two, three, four, five you just counted were actually hundreds?!"

Fu Luo was extremely shocked when he heard what Huo Xing from Buyetian said.

What was even more shocking than the words spoken by Huo Xing of Buyetian was the scene that happened next.

The earth trembled, and countless pairs of pale hands broke out of the ground, like a plague of undead or a zombie crisis. Nearly a thousand corpses emerged from the sand, like tender sprouts breaking through the soil in spring.

The originally wide depression now seemed a bit crowded.

Those "corpses" that appeared were indeed not real corpses - they were not dry, stiff, rotten, or lifeless. On the contrary, these corpses that appeared in front of Lin Yu and his party, except for the lack of blood in their skin and the dust that made them look "dusty", all of these corpses showed a kind of vitality that was no different from when they were alive.

This is why Ye Tian Huo Xing did not notice their existence - as Lao Zheng said, rather than calling these corpses, it would be better to say that these are brand new monsters created with human corpses as raw materials!

But even that time in Kirishima Mental Asylum, the number of corpses that Lao Zheng manipulated was not as many as here.

Lin Yu was still deeply impressed by how much trouble those corpses had caused him.

The appearance of these corpses made Lin Yu understand.

"If this is the ambush and trap prepared specifically for me by the mastermind, then it does live up to his confidence..."

However, if a fight really breaks out, Lin Yu is still confident that he will at least be able to escape unscathed.

Even with the help of the Nevernight Fire Apricot, it is not impossible to win this battle of four against nine hundred.

only……

Lin Yu was still on guard.

He could feel... these corpses were most likely not the enemy's complete arrangement.

All nine hundred corpses had emerged from the ground and lined up solemnly in the depression like a military formation, surrounding Lin Yu, Fu Luo and Buye Tian Huo Xing.

But... these nine hundred corpses did not launch an attack immediately.

The corpses just looked at him, staring silently, and the scene was extremely weird.

"What the hell," Fu Luo was a little scared by what he saw. "What are they doing?"

As Fu Luo finished speaking, a voice rang out.

"Of course I plan to... talk to you."

The person who spoke was Captain Gaoshan.

The corpse made a sound exactly like Captain Gaoshan's, even the tone was somewhat similar, just like Captain Gaoshan himself.

Of course Lin Yu knew that this was not Gao Shan - although the body was indeed Gao Shan's body, the other party's spirit and soul had nothing to do with Captain Gao Shan.

This body does not even contain any fragments of Captain Gaoshan's soul.

He is a puppet completely manipulated by others.

Although Fu Luo did not have the ability to perceive souls, he was able to realize this based on his previous experience with the "bowstring".

Therefore, when Fu Luo saw the corpse speak, he was dazed for a moment, but soon he became even more angry.

"You bastard, not only did you desecrate Captain Gaoshan's body, you even dared to use his voice to provoke us!"

Gao Shan laughed. "Are you accusing me of blaspheming Gao Shan by my existence? How interesting! Are you the real Forboluo yourself?"

"Isn't it... blasphemy to create the person who created you?"

Fu Luo was questioned by the other party and immediately said in a stern voice: "Stop talking nonsense! Do you think I will be shaken by your words? You used Captain Gao Shan's body to achieve your own goals, which is certainly different from my current situation!"

"What's the difference? That 'Arthur' over there, right? He used the remaining soul to create a new 'Phorpolo,' while I used the corpse to create a new 'Gaoshan,'" Gaoshan said calmly. "Aren't these two acts of blasphemy equivalent?"

Fu Luo sneered: "There is no blasphemy in my existence, because I have the same self-will as before... But are you, a monster, really related to Captain Gao Shan's self-will? I even doubt whether you have self-awareness at all - you are probably just a puppet!"

Captain Gao Shan continued, "Of course I do. Like you, I am an independent and complete life... I even feel that I have inherited Gao Shan's will."

Fu Luo said coldly: "If it was really the Shan team, he would never bring 900 people to surround me here."

Captain Gao Shan laughed softly, "That only proves that I've changed..."

"Stop talking so much! I don't have time to discuss the philosophical dialectics of soul and body with you," Fu Luo interrupted him and asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"

Captain Gao Shan looked at Lin Yu and said, "Of course I'm going to ask... 'Director Arthur', who are you?"

"Why did you get involved in the investigation against 'Forbolo'?"

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes when he heard the other party's question.

Doesn’t the other party know his identity?

No, maybe he was just deliberately giving me wrong information... After all, the person who would take the initiative to investigate the cause of 『Folporo』's death is most likely the 『Director』.

Although Lin Yu intended to try his best to prevent the identity of "Director" from being linked to "John H. Arthur" in the Wasteland World, since he started the investigation, he was also prepared for the possibility that the two identities would be linked together by the mastermind behind the scenes.

Although Lin Yu had to use the identity of "John H. Arthur" to do many things that were not in line with the rules of "Order", and the "mastermind" behind the scenes was most likely a senior official of "Order".

But... if the other party makes this accusation, Lin Yu can immediately identify who made the accusation through the relationship with Li Hua, Shen Bingmiao or even the "Grandmaster" and instantly strip off the identity disguise of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Even if the other party is a little roundabout and does not expose it personally, it will inevitably lead to him exposing very critical information.

Relatively speaking, Lin Yu even hoped that the other party would take the initiative to reveal his identity.

but……

At this moment, the other party showed that he didn't know who the "player" represented by the identity behind "John H. Arthur" was, which made Lin Yu feel a little strange.

It would be fine if the other party was trying to cheat me.

If the other party couldn't guess, didn't know that the person who was currently close to "Folporo" and actively pursuing the truth in the wasteland was the "Director"...

So who did he think he was?

But since the other party acted as if he couldn't see through it, Lin Yu naturally wouldn't take the initiative to reveal his identity.

He calmly said, "Of course, I launched this investigation and took action to find you... As for why I did this, I naturally have many reasons, and I don't intend to tell you."

The monster created from Captain Gaoshan's body sneered when he heard this.

"Ahaha, what a confident statement... It seems you didn't realize that, although my tone was friendly, I wasn't asking you a question."

"This is... a 'threat', Sir Arthur—now, you are surrounded and ambushed by me."

"I have the ability to turn you into a new member of me at any time."

As the corpse spoke, Lin Yu laughed as well.

"Really? Then you don't seem to realize..."

"Your so-called 'ambush' and 'trap' are nothing to me."

Lin Yu whispered, his tone full of confidence.

"No matter who you are, the ability to use corpses to create puppets and manipulate them... is not your exclusive right."

"That's exactly what I'm good at—and I know how to control myself."

Lin Yu said this, and then released his "mental power" without any concealment.

At the same time, he communicated with Lao Zheng in his heart.

"Old Zheng, unleash all your mental power and amplify it to its full potential. Since you said the other party's abilities are similar to yours, then... fight for control of these corpses!"

As Lin Yu spoke, Lao Zheng also responded with his mental power.

"Boss, the principle they use to manipulate corpses is similar to my method of creating puppets, but they don't use mental power to control the remaining soul. Instead, they create a new 'consciousness' similar to a mechanical life form and fuse it with the relatively intact brain and nervous system of the physical body, issuing commands to that mechanical consciousness!"

"These creatures lack the traditional sense of 'soul' or 'spirit', nor do they possess any subjective consciousness. They can hardly even be considered true life. Therefore, using mental power to interfere with them will likely have limited effect!"

Apparently...

In this short period of time, Lao Zheng has figured out the principle behind the movement of these corpses - the monster born from the corpse of Captain Gaoshan is similar to the one he created, but the underlying logic and the power system used are completely different.

However, while explaining, Lao Zheng still released his mental power to cooperate with Lin Yu.

Under the influence of violent mental power, Lin Yu also responded to Lao Zheng.

"I know, but...it's enough that the other party doesn't know!"

As Lin Yu spoke, he output his mental power without reservation.

Although Lin Yu felt it, his mental power was unable to seize control and make these things work for them.

but……

Lin Yu is gambling.

I bet the guy who created these corpses can now feel what is happening here through these puppets!

Betting on the mastermind, he himself didn't know how his creations and mental power would react.

Also betting...

That guy really didn't know that "Director Arthur" was the "Director" and "Lin Yu"!

"Om-!"

Although the explosion of mental power cannot seize control of the corpses, it will still cause suppression and confusion to life-like creatures with "consciousness"!

And at the moment when the suppression and chaos took effect, Lin Yu spoke loudly again, uttering absolute words like a declaration.

"These puppets of yours... now belong to me!"

As Lin Yu finished speaking...

"Believe", come.
