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

Chapter 1053 Return to Reality, Valuable Gains

"Lu Xiaoyo, a great man from our world whom I greatly admire once wrote a poem called 'How can a courtyard produce a thousand-mile horse, nor can a flowerpot nourish a ten-thousand-year-old pine?'" Lin Zhao twirled the fruit knife, which gleamed with a cold light, between his fingers. "My dear brother was able to successfully bluff the 'Central Authority' this time, but it was just luck. After all, 95% of the 'power' of the world will in the entire 'Gray Domain' is now devoted to resisting and deciphering the rules of the 'Death Game,' and 95% of the remaining 5% is being used to construct Yudu... If he leaves so easily, I'm afraid he'll start to think, 'The world will is nothing more than this' - so I had to teach him a little 'lesson' to prevent him from getting too proud."

"Although he has always been humble, anyone who underestimates the 'Death Game' and the will of the world, even just a little bit, will pay a heavy price that is unbearable."

Lin Zhao lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

Lu Xiao smiled silently: "You're right. After all, we are all victims with personal experience... However, if I had a brother like this, I definitely wouldn't be able to be as cruel as you."

Lin Zhao picked up the fruit knife again: "Don't act like I'm not heartbroken. They are my only relatives."

Lu Xiao didn't respond. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Now that I've regained my freedom and am about to leave this world—before then, I still want to ask—this time I'm not representing the central government. This is just my own curiosity."

"That 'authority'... where exactly are you hiding?"

Lin Zhao looked at Lu Xiao and pointed at the apple in front of him: "Eat it and I'll tell you."

Lu Xiao looked at the plump, juicy apple that looked crispy, sweet and delicious, and shook his head.

"I just got my name back and I'm free... I'm not going to eat it."

"Besides, being a slave to the central government might even be easier than working for you."

Lin Zhao said seriously, "There's nothing unusual about this apple."

"The devil believes you."

Lu Xiao said immediately.

Lin Zhao shrugged: "Such a coward is not qualified to hold such a dangerous 'authority'."

Lu Xiao pointed to his head and said, "I'm not timid. I'm smart and cautious."

"Two sides of the same coin," Lin Zhao said casually, picking up the apple on the table. "Well... it's time for you to go. Forget about 'Doomsday'. Just take the authority of 'Suspicion' and 'Disaster' and leave."

"Given your understanding of these two powers, if you leave the central agency and go to another world, you should be able to quickly ascend to the status of 'God'."

"I'm almost out of control—it'll be too late if you don't leave now."

As Lin Zhao spoke, Lu Xiao stood up and bowed slightly.

"Then I'll take my leave. I hope... I'll have a chance to see you again."

"Thank you very much, my dear friend."

"Anyway, I owe you a huge favor—if I ever meet your brother in another world, I will help him."

As Lu Xiao spoke, black feathers emerged from behind her, gradually wrapping and engulfing her body.

Lin Zhao waved his hand silently, and then Lu Xiao's figure was swallowed by the black feathers and disappeared completely.

In an instant, the black feathers rolled up into a ball and disappeared in the air, leaving Lin Zhao alone sitting on the sofa in the living room.

She picked up the red apple and took a bite.

"Click."

After a crisp sound, a gap appeared on the apple.

What is revealed behind the gap is not the flesh, but the nothingness jumping like noise, as if one can directly reach the outside world through this bite.

Lin Zhao chewed an apple, raised his head, and looked a little lost.

"What a shame, Lu Xiao... You almost got it."

"As expected, people as pure as Ah Zhen, Ah Yu, Miao Miao, and Lao Du are still a minority."

……

……

……

"call--!"

Lin Yu opened his eyes in the hotel and slowly sat up.

"Oh my, you actually made it back from the Gray Region alive," Shen Bingmiao's leisurely voice came. Then Lin Yu saw the senior sister took out something that looked like a thermometer gun, pointed it at his forehead, and pressed it, making a "beeping" sound. "The soul integrity is still 100%, which is even more rare. You really deserve to be my "ace card". It seems that even the Gray Region will not cause you any big trouble."

Lin Yu rubbed his forehead and slowly sat up: "No, it's actually quite dangerous..."

Shen Bingmiao raised an eyebrow: "Did you rescue the little girl?"

"Of course, and there's more to gain."

Lin Yu said casually.

Shen Bingmiao seemed to be thinking: "Oh, how much memory do you have left?"

"All."

Lin Yu said calmly.

Shen Bingmiao was shocked: "All?"

"Everything," Lin Yu repeated, confirming, and then explained, "Because I broke through the blockade of the Gray Domain and reached an agreement with the Gray Domain's world will, the 'Central Authority', allowing me to retain my memories and return to reality... and, this agreement was reached under the condition that I threatened it, so I didn't pay any price."

Shen Bingmiao was shocked: "My dear junior... Although I have always regarded you as my 'ace', you really exceeded my expectations this time - how did you do it?"

"It's simple. The Gray Domain is a three-layered world structure. After I broke through the first layer, I parasitized the consciousness of most of the residents of the second layer, using their souls as a threat... Although it didn't have much effect in the end, and I don't know what the world's will was doing in the latter part, the result is... our original agreement was basically preserved."

As Lin Yu spoke, Shen Bingmiao became a little excited: "Oh, then you should have noticed some clues about those 'secret organizations', right?"

"Unfortunately, the first layer of the Gray Domain is composed of about three hundred small worlds, and they don't seem to have broken through the first layer, so I didn't collect any information about those secret organizations." Lin Yu looked at Shen Bingmiao, "But... I now have a lot of more valuable things in my memory."

Shen Bingmiao was slightly disappointed: "Is there anything more valuable?"

"I met Lin Zhao inside."

Lin Yu said.

Shen Bingmiao sat up straight at once: "Are you sure? Is this an illusion or something?"

Lin Yu shook his head: "It's not an illusion - but it's not the complete version either. It's the 3% soul fragment she left in the Gray Region - but it has a complete personality and memory."

Shen Bingmiao was silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Yu and raised his hand.

Lin Yu pressed her hand down, stared at Shen Bingmiao and said, "I won't go, Senior Sister. I can't go for the time being."

Shen Bingmiao sighed in disappointment: "That's such a pity!"
