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

Chapter 256 The Correct Way to Open the Ancient Notes

"So the crime you're charged with is murder."

After hearing Baron Coleman's words, Fu Luo suddenly realized something and felt a little relieved.

"When I first heard it, I thought it was a crime like embezzlement of public funds!"

Although for Baron Coleman, being accused of murder, especially when the deceased is a highly respected person within the company, is definitely more difficult to deal with than things like embezzling public funds.

But for Fu Luo...

Being wrongly accused of murder is definitely better than embezzling public funds.

Because the former is easier to investigate the truth - a dead person and a bunch of disorganized numbers, the former will definitely leave more clues.

Baron Coleman knew this too.

"Yes, although I didn't realize it the moment the body was discovered, I soon became the prime suspect in the murder of researcher Mr. Reed Christopher."

"Back then, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for me, but now that it's delayed... I should actually be thankful."

"Thanks to the accusation of murder that was pinned on me back then, otherwise it would have been almost impossible to prove my innocence after all these years."

Fu Luo nodded.

"That's right, but precisely because it's a murder case, there's still a possibility of overturning the verdict."

Lin Yu touched his chin and said, "But after all, eight years have passed. Now we can only rely on the Baron's 'oral account' to restore it..."

"No, it's not just my account," Baron Coleman said, his eyes sparkling. "Although I don't know why it's such a coincidence...your presence here with 'Vill Valetti's' notebook is very helpful in reconstructing the truth of that year."

Lin Yu took out the [Ancient Notes] and was a little surprised.

"This notebook? What does it have to do with this case?"

Lin Yu was not surprised that this notebook had magical uses that he didn't know about. After all, the fact that Ville Valetti gave it to him as a reward showed that this notebook was definitely not just a hard book.

What's more, the item's own description almost makes it clear.

[Ancient Notebook: An indestructible notebook, the information written on it can be preserved forever. It seems there are other uses that have not yet been discovered...]

What Lin Yu didn't know was what other wonderful uses this thing had.

Coleman looked at the notebook and then at Punctot: "Punctot, although you have lost a lot of memories, you should have remembered this notebook...right?"

"Of course, this is a major project that my great-uncle and grandfather are involved in together—the excavation and analysis of artifacts from an ancient civilization unearthed from 'Ancient Relic No. 9'."

Punkto continued, "The artifacts unearthed that time benefited the entire Truth Company for at least thirty years... The research results from this [Ancient Notebook] even enabled Professor Dot to be promoted to A-rank, and even promoted my great-uncle to B-rank."

"This thing... I thought it was completely lost."

Punkto sighed, and Baron Coleman spoke again.

"That's right. Mr. Ville Valetti and Professor Dot updated the 'emotion storage' device by studying this notebook."

"The notebook in your hand isn't just durable. More importantly... if you master it properly, it can store and convert any form of information."

“Images, words, sounds, smells…even souls and emotions.”

"Professor Dort's development of it back then was just the tip of the iceberg, but it has already benefited the entire company immensely. I've looked up information, and this thing can almost be called a 'divine artifact.'"

Lin Yu was very surprised when he heard Baron Coleman's praise after listening to Punkto's narration.

I didn’t expect Will Valetti to be so kind...to give me something like this.

“It’s really emotional.”

He couldn't help but sigh out loud - of course, to Fu Luo, the person being praised wasn't Will Valetti.

This was also what Lin Yu did on purpose.

After adding an impromptu scene, Lin Yu looked at Baron Coleman again.

"So, this thing can be used to reconstruct the scene at that time?"

"Yes—based mainly on my memory, supplemented by various photographs and records of the scene, I can almost reconstruct the scene."

Coleman said this seriously, knocking on the vat beside him where the human head was soaking.

"It just so happens that this thing...is completely 'connected' to the entire Truth Company's internal network."

"You happen to have an ID card with sufficient authority to access the records of that murder case."

Lin Yu took out Will Valetti's ID card with understanding.

"Okay, but where should I brush it?"

Lin Yu asked, and Baron Coleman laughed.

"Of course I showed it to him."

These words made Lin Yu feel a little creepy.

Although the thing next to it looked very strange and seemed to be "alive", Lin Yu still felt it was too strange when the way to use it was really to "show it" as if it were a living thing.

Moreover, after the emotional discomfort subsided, Lin Yu also realized a "problem" rationally.

Just as he was about to ask, Fu Luo, who also realized this "problem", spoke up.

"Wait a minute, the 'Furnace of Despair' is also connected to the internal network of Truth Corporation? And it also has something like 'vision'... at least a camera-like scanning function?"

"He's a brain, of course he has these functions."

Baron Coleman introduced with a smile.

"Then won't everything we do and say in Carriage 1 be under the surveillance of the Truth Company?"

"This is not a suitable place for conspiracy!"

Fu Luo said in panic.

However, Lin Yu, who also realized this, remained calm.

He looked at Baron Coleman.

"Yeah, so why did you choose this place?"

"Of course, it's because I wanted them to see it," Baron Coleman rubbed his neck, his expression calm. "You've already guessed it. Because of a certain secret, Truth Company actually doesn't want me to die."

Lin Yu understood.

Baron Coleman's move was indeed brilliant, as it was both a lack of trust in himself and a confidence in himself.

After all, not everyone completely wants the baron to be alive - he can't guarantee which faction he came from.

Putting himself and his group under the nose of the Truth Company, if anything goes wrong for him... I think the Truth Company will help him.

On the other hand, if he and Fu Luozhen were his hopes to clear his name and bring down Paris, this almost public meeting would also provide them with some protection and trump cards, and allow them to directly enter the vision of the top management of Truth Company.

This will certainly expose them, but it is more of a layer of "insurance".

After all, when Lin Yu and his group got on the bus, their identity information had already been exposed.

The reason why Coleman was spared was also the reason why Lin Yu and his group would not be immediately wiped out after returning to the City That Never Sleeps from the Despair Train.

"But anyway, we have to hurry."

Coleman said as he took the notebook from Lin Yu.

"We have to do what needs to be done before they come and interfere."
