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

Chapter 1022 There are villains among the heroes!

"Performing miracles... is that the essential job of a hero?"

Listening to these bewitching words, Feng Tong suddenly felt that he had completely transformed into his daily "hero" identity and became taller again.

Things that we were used to seeing suddenly became less common.

That's right...

I am a hero, one of only ninety-three people among the two billion six hundred million!

How can you back down just because others are targeting you?

You have to take responsibility.

Feng Tong felt himself regaining his spirits.

But having said that...

Facing those monsters of unknown origin outside, Feng Tong didn't have any particularly good ideas.

but……

Now there is a "shortcut" to rely on.

"Shenqi, you seem to have been secretly investigating this matter for a long time, right?"

"Of course," Lin Yu nodded, taking over Feng Tong's words with satisfaction, "I have always suspected the existence of these conspiracies... and today, they finally couldn't hold back and revealed their flaws!"

Feng Tong said seriously, "I see, but why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Because I don't know who I should trust, but today, since you are the one being targeted, that means you are trustworthy," Lin Yu said in a deep voice. "I don't think if you were on their side, you would deliberately play such a double act just to hook a small researcher like me... So, you can be trusted."

"Of course, you can remain skeptical of me—because what I'm about to say might indeed be a little bizarre."

As Lin Yu spoke, Feng Tong pressed the wound on his lower abdomen and waved his hand.

"Just tell me, I don't believe you will hurt me, Shen Qi."

"Okay—then we need to break through these monsters' encirclement, and then...we need to enter the areas of the 'Hero Training Center' where the secret projects that are not open to the public are located."

Feng Tong was stunned.

As a "hero", he has the right to visit any area - but if he wants to enter some confidential areas, such as the "Spirit Prison", he must go through the process of submitting access permission to the "Central Authority".

Although the process was quick and could be resolved in just a moment, Feng Tong understood the hidden meaning behind Lin Yu's words...

Lin Yu obviously didn't want him to submit an application and go through the process.

"You mean, we have to force our way in?"

"Of course, if you want to try to apply to the central authorities to take me in, I have no objection. After all, we've been targeted for a long time now, so no matter what you do, it won't be considered as alerting the enemy."

Lin Yu said lightly.

Although Feng Tong was slightly biased towards Lin Yu, his "colleague" with whom he had been working for a long time, he still couldn't help but ask: "Are you questioning the 'central authority'?"

"Of course not. The Central Government certainly wouldn't make mistakes, nor would they harbor any intentions of harming anyone. But... I've said before, even before you were targeted today, I couldn't trust a 'hero'—those with the same level of authority as you, or even higher, who could influence the Central Government's judgment, weren't necessarily spotless."

Lin Yu said this, and in the context of the mirror world, these words were almost "treasonous".

but……

This is acceptable "treason".

Through dealing with a series of people including Chongning, Lin Yu also had a general understanding of the "consensus" that was prevalent among the people in this mirror world.

So he did not choose to tell Feng Tong that there was a problem with the "central agency", but instead created the situation that there were people with ulterior motives among the "heroes".

Most people in this world have a natural trust in, and even a near-worship of, "heroes" and "central agencies."

but……

Obviously, the trust and admiration for the "central government" is even more unbreakable.

It is like a wise and benevolent monarch in feudal society - the kind whose power is granted by God.

Of course……

The central government itself is indeed more reliable than any monarch, and its existence is no lower than that of "God".

Controlling the world, even though it was just a "small world" after being cut, this level was indeed better than that of ordinary gods.

Therefore, discrediting the "central organs" is an inefficient and risky means.

But fortunately, Lin Yu had too many cases to refer to: those who wanted to rebel would always raise the banner of "clearing the court" as long as the emperor's reputation was not ruined.

The "central organs" are the "wise and benevolent monarchs", and the "heroes" are the "capable ministers who govern the country"... If we make such an analogy, it seems not impossible that there will be some corrupt guys with ulterior motives and selfish intentions among the ranks of ministers, who are plotting some subversive conspiracy.

Especially Feng Tong, as the "Silver Fist", is himself a "hero" - he has even less filters for the identity of "hero".

Among more than ninety colleagues, there will always be someone he dislikes... In the past, Feng Tong never doubted that there were fundamental problems with their positions.

Then, it is up to Lin Yu to open this Pandora's box and release his suspicion and doubt.

After experiencing the real "injury" and attack incident today, Feng Tong's worldview had already begun to crumble.

No need for Lin Yu to guide me anymore...

Just by looking at Feng Tong's doubtful expression, Lin Yu knew...

Not only did he believe his own statement, but he also had several suspects in mind.

"There must be 'heroes' behind all of this, and many of the best 'residents' and 'apprentices' are involved," Feng Tong sighed. "Indeed, while central government rule is the 'optimal solution,' it won't satisfy everyone, nor will it eliminate everyone's desires and evil thoughts... I just didn't expect things to develop to this point—it seems they've been lurking for a long time."

Lin Yu felt like laughing in his heart.

As expected, although the people of this world, especially the "heroes", have great respect for the "Central Authority", they still somewhat "underestimate" it because they don't know that this thing is a fusion product of the "world will" and can manipulate the world at will.

Lin Yu knew very well that the situation Feng Tong described would never happen: because the central authorities could calculate everything.

The supreme will that controls resources such as three hundred small worlds and hundreds of authorities has many ways to eliminate the negative impact that may be brought about by the occasional dissatisfaction of one or two people.

I am actually the guy who trusts the "central government" the most in this world.

Of course, the central government is not omnipotent.

At least now, this variable of his has begun to make Feng Tong have some thoughts of "going off track".

"Let's go, Shen Qi... It's a little dangerous, but you're right, this is the job of a 'hero'!"

"I'll take you into those 'secret areas'!"

Feng Tong said this, clenching his fists.

This time, he was prepared: prepared to be injured, bleed, and even sacrifice!

No matter what, he must find out the truth!
