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

Chapter 850: Clues Pointing to the Gray Region

The next day, the bus slowly drove away from the hotel and Lin Yu, who was sitting on the bus, yawned.

Shen Bingmiao crossed her legs and glanced at Lin Yu sideways.

"Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

"How can you sleep when someone has put such a huge reward on you?" Lin Yu asked, "So, who put the reward on you? Has there been any result?"

"That bounty was posted by a new player who hadn't leveled up yet and had just completed four dungeons. He must have been psychologically influenced. His past four dungeon worlds were Pure Ruins, Mist Island, Wasteland, and Pure Ruins. He must have been influenced by something within the dungeon. He probably knew I was constantly monitoring those expert players, so he deliberately chose this newbie," Shen Bingmiao said, resting his chin on his hand. "This is easy for any player with a little experience to do."

Lin Yu was a little surprised when he heard Shen Bingmiao's narration: "So, could it be the 'hidden organization' you mentioned?"

Shen Bingmiao shook her head: "Not really, because anyone who wants to offer a bounty on a member of the Order and intentionally conceals their identity will basically be wary of me."

"After all, the General and I have a close working relationship, so if he asks me to investigate, I will open the box directly."

As Shen Bingmiao spoke, Lin Yu exhaled: "So, you don't have any clues for the time being?"

When he woke up this morning, he checked the news again. Both Li Hua and the "Freedom Alliance" had made no progress and had not found any clues.

After all, since the other party offered the reward anonymously, he must have come prepared.

He must be very clear about how much the "Director" is valued. Based on the generous reward, the other party might even have a vague idea of ​​Lin Yu's hidden strength.

It's normal to get nothing out of an evening.

As for Lin Yu, he is not in a hurry at this moment - as long as the safety can be guaranteed with a high probability, Lin Yu does not mind waiting.

but……

In response to Lin Yu's question, Shen Bingmiao showed a smug look.

"Ha, how could I not have any clues!"

She said with some pride, "Although I didn't find a breakthrough in that 'Hunting Club' post, that doesn't mean I have no clue at all."

"[Echoes of Mu Continent], [Earth Scroll], and [Deed to the Twelfth Island], these three [items] are all extremely precious and rare... Similarly, these three [items] are much easier to trace than that post!"

"Last night, I retrieved all the information I had about these three [items]... and found some clues."

"Although their appearance was very secretive, they all fell into the hands of 'players' in the last few months. The people who first obtained them were probably unrelated to the poster of the post. They were all 'players' with some qualifications but not very strong."

"Through layers of transactions, these three [Items] flowed into the market. And then, their last appearance... was in transactions within [Instances]."

"The transaction took place in the 'Gray Domain'."

Lin Yu frowned: "Isn't the Gray Region extremely uncontrollable for players? Why would anyone choose to trade there?"

"As the player base grows, even within the uncontrollable 'Gray Domain,' there will always be some powerful characters who can grasp certain patterns. It's impossible to fully utilize and control the Gray Domain, but knowing some of its patterns and using them as a trading platform is not impossible."

Lin Yu nodded: "So... we have to go to this 'Gray Region'?"

Shen Bingmiao held up her chin and said, "Use your brain, my dear Ace, you don't necessarily have to go there in person!"

"Don't you know a guy who often goes to the 'Gray Zone'?"

Shen Bingmiao asked, Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized who Shen Bingmiao was talking about.

"Li Nian?"

"Of course—her next dungeon is almost certainly in the Gray Territory. Ask her to see if she can gather any clues... I think she'd be happy to help you. After all, she and your 'veterinarian' have a pretty good relationship."

Shen Bingmiao said mischievously.

"That's true, but didn't you say she might have lost her memory? Even if she found out, she wouldn't necessarily bring it out... Besides, the situation in the Gray Domain is complicated, so she might not be able to find it."

As Lin Yu spoke, Shen Bingmiao snapped his fingers.

"Let me ask you, if you go to a place like the Gray Zone where you lose your memory, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I'll use the Ancient Notebook," Lin Yu said without hesitation, "This item is specifically designed to counter things that interfere with people's cognition."

In the insane asylum of Kirishima, Lao Zheng also used the remaining abilities of the former Lord of Kirishima and the owner of that island to create a mechanism that could cause people to lose their memory and reincarnate indefinitely.

Therefore, Lin Yu is not completely inexperienced in this situation.

Although the gray area seems to be the rule of the entire "world" that will cause people to lose their memories, its status is definitely higher than Lao Zheng's design...

In addition, the Gray Domain is a world that can challenge the rules of the "Death Game", so you can imagine how difficult it is.

But Lin Yu believes...

The Gray Domain is strange and special enough, and the [Ancient Notes] in his hand is definitely not an ordinary item!

The more I study this thing, the more extraordinary it seems—it even works properly in the territory of the God of Judgment.

Lin Yu felt that he could completely trust the "will not be lost, will not be damaged, and will not lose recorded content" written in the prop description of "Death Game".

Shen Bingmiao spread out her hands: "Then it's obvious how to solve this problem. Just give her this [Ancient Notes], right?"

"Anyway, you're going to be a 'First-Level' 'Thief' in the next 'Instance'... You won't be able to use this 'Ancient Notebook' anyway."

"I'm reluctant to let the child catch the wolf."

Shen Bingmiao said, Lin Yu nodded: "Senior sister, what you said makes sense."

Because Lin Yu rarely used the [props] he had, he had forgotten that the [props] in his hands could be traded and loaned out.

As for whether Li Nian would never return... Lin Yu was not worried.

Just now, Shen Bingmiao joked about his identity as "Zhu Ming" and his relationship with Li Nian.

But Lin Yu knew better that his relationship with Li Nian as "Zhu Ming" was definitely more than just "not bad".

Li Nian's trust and good impression of Zhu Ming may be among the highest in the entire "Free Alliance".

However, before lending out the [Ancient Notes], Lin Yu still had to take some precautions.

after all……

He had used the [Ancient Notes] many times, and it contained many "records" he had left behind in various forms.

Those things must never be seen by Li Nian.
