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

Chapter 358 The Truth of the Heart

"What I can do now is actually quite limited, but I was once very powerful, so even if I have fallen to this point today, I am likely still a strong help to you."

In response to Lin Yu's question, the first generation "Floyd" spoke in a loud tone and seemed very confident.

Lin Yu was also very interested when he heard this.

"Oh, really? Then come and tell me about it."

After all, this guy is one of the founders of the "Psychological Society". As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse... Since he can be on par with the "fortune teller", he must have reached the "third level" or "fourth level" back then.

What's more, Lin Yu also personally experienced his terrifying side in the dungeon... He could control hundreds of corpse puppets and modify people's memories and cognition at will. Even if these two abilities were greatly reduced, as long as they still existed, they would probably be of great help to him.

As expected, the First Generation 『Floyd』 spoke proudly.

"You're so smart, I'm sure you've already guessed it... The most important abilities I can retain after death are controlling my residual soul and altering my cognition."

"The former's ability, built upon years of cultivation on Kirishima, allows me to simultaneously manipulate the remnant souls of an entire insane asylum... Now that even my body has been destroyed, leaving only my brain, its effectiveness is naturally greatly diminished."

"I can still control the residual souls now, but the number may be greatly reduced... For now, I can only control one at most."

After hearing what the first generation of "Floyd" said, Lin Yu couldn't help but complain.

"What do you mean you can only control one at most... If one is the upper limit, there's no need to add 'at most'."

The glowing brain flashed twice quickly: "You are so disrespectful!"

"Never mind... Anyway, if you want me to control someone, the following two conditions must be met: First, the person being controlled must have recently died."

"Secondly, his soul must be in a broken state before death."

"Only in this way can I use the remaining soul of the dead to control the body."

Lin Yu sighed: "Are there so many restrictions?"

"Yes, otherwise why would I stay cooped up in Kirishima?" the first generation of 'Freud' argued. "If I could instantly refine others with a wave of my hand, wouldn't I have formed an army of undead lords to directly fight the Lord of Kirishima, or even challenge the gods of the vast sea of ​​Kirishima?"

"Still needing to stay in that whole damned asylum?"

Lin Yu was speechless for a moment by the self-righteous "Floyd" and held his forehead helplessly.

"What you said makes sense. Let's talk about your second ability."

"It's simple. I can interfere with people's cognition and memory - literally."

The original Freud said casually, "I can make someone lose their recent memories. Each time they lose their memory, I can implant a subconscious thought... If they lose their memory enough times, I can even make them forget their own identities."

"Of course, that's the ideal situation... After all, this triggering condition is difficult."

As the first generation of "Freud" spoke, Lin Yu was also very curious.

"What is the trigger?"

He was also very curious about why he suffered from repeated amnesia in the mental hospital.

"There must be a direct causal relationship between me and the other person causing them to lose consciousness - for example, I knocked them unconscious, knocked them unconscious, or hypnotized them."

"This is a kind of 'cause and effect'. It must be something I subjectively want to do and something I objectively achieve directly."

"I can use props and external objects, but if someone else does it under my instructions, it doesn't count."

Lin Yu was stunned: "But you are a lonely brain now, isn't it difficult to do it?"

A flash of light flashed within the original Freud's brain, and he spoke solemnly, "That's right... You easily lost your memory in Kirishima Asylum because of the surrounding fog, the 'Sleeping Illusion Mist' I personally created, and the prop 'Sun Glare' that once belonged to me in the sky."

"But fortunately... if the residual soul puppet I was controlling knocked someone out, it would still count."

Lin Yu nodded after hearing this.

Although it is harsh, it is not impossible.

"Can you now transform the guy you're controlling into a giant monster like you did in Kirishima?"

The original Floyd laughed: "Haha... wishful thinking!"

"That's the remnant of my 'Heart Realm' ability. Now I'm just a brain mess, how can I open up my 'Heart Realm'?"

Lin Yu frowned.

He heard the word "heart realm" again...

The Fortune Teller and the Robin had explained to him that the Heart Realm was a fourth-order ability.

But Lin Yu still wanted to know what it was specifically.

"What is the 'Heart Realm'?"

The original Floyd was not shy about it: "If I were still alive, telling you this would only cause me more trouble... But since I'm in such a state now, it doesn't matter."

"If you want to know about the 'Heart Realm', you have to start with 'Ascension'."

"In my opinion... or in the opinion of most players at or nearing the fourth level, the deeper you delve into the Death Game, the more you'll find... the more you progress, the more it begins to feel like a game."

"When you enter the game, you gain initial [Professional Abilities]."

"Through activities in another world, you gain the opportunity to 'rank up'... After reaching the first rank, you will receive [Class Items] - from then on, even players who have obtained the same 'Class' will have two different paths."

"For the second stage, you'll receive something called [Professional Items]... This time, there are four options. When combined, each 'profession' is further divided into eight different areas."

"And when you reach the third level, you get something called an [Exclusive Item]... This is different for everyone."

"And during this period, you will gain three permissions: [Social], [Illustrated], and [Map]..."

"Have you noticed that this 'leveling up' essentially makes you more and more unique through 'items'? Beginning the 'leveling up trials' requires you to be remembered by those dungeon worlds, and the 'leveling up' itself will give you increasingly distinct personal characteristics."

"At the same time... because of the existence of [Permissions], coupled with those [Items] that make you increasingly powerful, those worlds are becoming more and more like games to you. The more you interact with them, the higher the 'dimensionality' becomes... In the end, it's as if you, the player, will become..."

The first generation of "Freud" paused, and Lin Yu subconsciously said for him what he had not finished.

"God."

"Congratulations, you got it."

The original Floyd said, "Once you reach the Third Stage, there will be no 'Level-Up Trials' waiting for you. Instead, you will be able to integrate all your [Authorities] and [Items], traveling back and forth between the real world and the dungeon world. When your understanding of yourself and the world becomes crystal clear, what you will finally condense into... is the 'Heart Realm'."

"The 'Heart Realm' is your very own... 'Kingdom of God'."
