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

Chapter 1320 New Discovery of Stronghold

Compared with the mining area of ​​the Divine Power Group, because the Universal General Chamber of Commerce was originally a sentry post monitoring the dynamics of the Great Wilderness, it naturally discovered the Nevernight Huo Ming and his group earlier, who had no where to hide.

And above the wilderness...

Compared with the Divine Power Group, which has basically not carried out any cooperation, no matter how the Sorens family and the Buyetian family fight openly and secretly in the city, the Truth Company and the Universal General Chamber of Commerce have had some business dealings in the Great Wilderness for nearly 30 years. Although they can definitely not be called "allies" and "partners", they can be regarded as "friendly parties" that can cooperate.

At least both sides are neutral and friendly units to each other.

Huo Ming of the Nevernight City also continued this strategic policy.

"Reporting, Outpost 095 of the Universal General Chamber of Commerce has sent a message, inquiring about our approach and visit intentions."

The communications soldier on the vehicle reported to Buyetian Huoming and asked for his opinion.

Huo Ming of the Nightless Sky naturally had a plan for how to handle this outpost: "Let's say we just experienced a suicide attack by the Great Wilderness people and cleared out a settlement. We now need to rest and resupply. We've applied to enter the station for temporary maintenance and replenishment. We'll pay them a 30% premium over the market price for any losses they incur."

She said it naturally.

After all, the suicide attacks by the Dahuang people and the cleansing of the Dahuang strongholds are all real and verifiable events.

What's more, after the war, they will find a nearby stronghold for supplies, and they may not even consider only their own stronghold. They will also take into account the strongholds of other companies besides the Shenli Group. However, they will give priority to their own strongholds as much as possible.

After completing missions and battles, their own pioneering teams would borrow the opponent's strongholds for rest and replenishment for a fee based on the principle of proximity in emergency situations. For both the Truth Company and the Universal Chamber of Commerce, this was like some kind of unwritten rule that happened all the time and was commonplace.

Even with the signing of some less formal regulations, these actions are already fully compliant and have a regulatory basis.

Because the two companies' control and management of Dahuang does not have the same long history and profound foundation as Shenli Group, and their investment is not as much as Shenli Group. Although they both imitate the integrated supply system network of stations and mining areas established by Shenli Group in Dahuang, the number, density and supply line coverage of the stations cannot reach the level of Shenli Group.

Therefore, it is natural for the two companies to choose to work together and complement each other's strengths under such circumstances.

When the signalman went to respond, Huo Ming from Buyetian also looked at Lin Yu.

"Since you can even sneak into the mining area without making any noise, it should be fine for us to rest here, Arthur... In this case, you should be able to carry out the investigation normally, right?"

"After all, this time you can even move freely inside."

Lin Yu nodded.

"Of course, sir."

Now that he can start moving freely as "Arthur", his investigation will indeed be easier!

The vehicle drove into the site, and then Huo Ming from Bu Ye Tian paid the remuneration in advance. After the asset points were transferred, she and most of the pioneer team members got off the vehicle, leaving only some technicians to stay behind and monitor.

After the staff of the Universal Chamber of Commerce saluted the nobles who got off the vehicle one by one, they began their routine maintenance work.

The remaining members of the pioneer team naturally began to move freely and rest in this stronghold.

Just like tourists who get off a long-distance bus at a service area and walk to relax.

Most of the strongholds in Dahuang, regardless of size, are in the form of fortresses close to military bases.

Outer walls, watchtowers, bunkers, these military facilities involving armed forces will naturally not be open to the public.

However, considering the physical and mental health of the stationed personnel, and the fact that many of the rulers of the important strongholds in the Great Wilderness are company executives, especially those who are of noble birth like Dongming Shuliu, and even the direct descendants of royal nobles like Buyetian Huoming, who appear in the Great Wilderness and serve here for a long time, each stronghold has also invested a lot of construction funds in the free activity area.

In the desolate and barren wilderness, there are even small artificial parks, sports fields, lounges, card rooms and game halls in the stronghold courtyards behind the gray concrete fortress walls and barbed wire.

Although these pioneering team members would certainly not go for a drink directly in front of Huo Ming in the Nevernight City during the mission, they could naturally use other facilities to their heart's content.

This scene where everyone is resting and relaxing really gives Lin Yu enough space to move freely.

He and Fu Luo were seemingly wandering aimlessly, but in fact he had secretly released Lao Zheng here in the form of a brain, added some optical camouflage and put it in his arms. Together, the two of them used their mental power to conduct a wide-area exploration of this place.

And this time...

Lin Yu and Lao Zheng also discovered clues at the same time.

"Boss, a very intense battle took place here, and it definitely involved players," Old Zheng pointed and marked the direction of the lounge with his mental power. "There are residual power fluctuations from a Kirishima-produced [item] there... It should be some kind of mental power amplification device."

Lin Yu nodded: "I felt it too... It seems that it's not a coincidence that the other party got the [Props] that you once mastered. That guy may really be a guy with deep roots in Kirishima."

"There's even some doubt as to whether this Soul Locator prototype is truly a unique piece, or whether the one we've found is the same one you originally received."

Lao Zheng sighed and said, "Boss, you're right. The other party must have some connections in Kirishima."

Although Fu Luo couldn't see Lao Zheng, he was not surprised that Lao Zheng was able to speak even though he didn't show up, and he also participated in the discussion.

"Can you tell me more about the mental force amplification device? Could this be the scene where Captain Gaoshan was murdered?"

Old Zheng explained, "Simply put, it's a device that can convert high-frequency mental shocks directly into energy shocks. With this [tool], one can use one's mental power to directly damage non-intelligent life and even inorganic matter."

"Someone used this device to carry out a large-scale attack in the lounge."

As Lao Zheng spoke, Fu Luo frowned, "But this lounge looks very intact?"

"Because the user controlled the force very well and only destroyed a specific object...it's very likely an item held by another player," Lin Yu whispered. "In other words, a secret fight between two players took place here."

After thinking about it, Fu Luo said, "Could it be Captain Gao Shan's [prop]? Could this be the scene where Captain Gao Shan died?"

Lao Zheng responded, "I'm not sure about that. From the residual spiritual energy, I can't tell the intensity of the battle here a week ago."

Since even Old Zheng couldn't make the judgment, Lin Yu naturally couldn't do it either.

A week later, even using the "Detective" ability, no clues were triggered.

However, Fu Luo still walked into the temporarily empty lounge calmly, trying to profile clues with his strong professional qualities as a "detective" rather than the abilities granted by the "Death Game".

Every profession has its own expertise, and Fu Luo has indeed made some discoveries.

"Hmm... both sides certainly fought with restraint. There are fresh scrapes in some places, but compared to everyday wear and tear and the ones left by the drunken brawlers on duty, those marks are not only shallow, but also incredibly 'clean.' They really do look like they were caused by two masters holding back."

"Not only is this battle secretive, it might even end quickly... From the looks of things, this seems possible."

"But there's so little information and traces, and a lot has been cleared up, so I can't be sure."

Fu Luo gave his own inference based on the traces at the scene.

Although some discoveries were made, they were not many.

This information cannot help Lin Yu restore more of the situation at the scene at that time, not to mention that these are just inferences made by Fu Luo under limited conditions and may not be accurate.

"Lao Lin, can you find a way to get someone here to come over and ask? Since it was a fight in the lounge, there might be witnesses!"

Fu Luo put forward his own ideas.

Old Zheng spoke up to dispel Fu Luo's idea: "I just scanned the souls of these guys, and a piece of their memory has been deleted - there are witnesses, but there is basically no need to ask."

"I've also noticed that there might be traps left in their memories and souls," Lin Yu, who had already witnessed this twice, sighed. "For this murderer, cognitive interference is simply a normal method. Wherever he goes, he washes the memories of these natives."

Although new clues were discovered here, and even seemed to point to the murderer more clearly than the previous clues about the Turbine Gang and the mining area, Lin Yu was at a loss as to how to investigate this new clue.

And just when Lin Yu was lost in thought...

A deep male voice sounded.

"First of all, no one died in the battle here—no one died this whole week."

Lin Yu turned his head and saw a fully armed subordinate of Buye Tian Huo Ming - although he was wearing standard equipment, he still recognized him. This was one of the two special consultants that Buye Tian Huo Ming had introduced to her before.

As for which “one”…

Of course it’s the fake one.

"Then, respected... Your Excellency," Lin Yu mumbled the other party's name, "what are your thoughts?"

The man adjusted his helmet and spoke again in a clearly altered bass voice: "As expected, you recognized me, Arthur."

Lin Yu sighed: "It's hard not to recognize you... Your Excellency - anyway, did Buye Tianhuo know that you were mixed up in this team?"

The disguised Nevernight Huo Xing laughed.

"Of course she knew, but not completely. She thought I came to this wilderness just for fun."

"After all, it was only after I showed weakness and acted like a spoiled child that I got the chance to have her bring me to the Great Wilderness."

"In a sense, Lord Huo Ming of Nevernight... is quite easy to understand."

"She is the most typical type who is soft-hearted and doesn't take hardship."
