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

Chapter 1522 The Second Prisoner

The core area of ​​the eternal cage remains dark and silent.

Just like when Lin Yu first arrived in Central.

However, there was a slight difference, because the darkness and tranquility here did not give the feeling of impending danger—at least Lin Yu did not feel any alarm.

Moreover, after his eyes adjusted to the darkness, Lin Yu could vaguely see the scene inside the center of this eternal cage.

I am standing on a gentle downward slope.

His mental energy spread out, and Lin Yu quickly figured out the structure of the entire central area.

The entire central area... is a "circular pit"—the slope of the gentle slope where you are located will become steeper and steeper until it is almost vertical downwards.

Therefore, the deepest part in the middle of the pit is bottomless.

Lin Yu could easily guess...

"The prisoners held here should be at the very bottom, right?"

But regardless of whether there are prisoners or something at the bottom...

I definitely have to go down.

Lin Yu began to move along the gentle slope.

Although he can still stand now, Lin Yu predicts that as the slope becomes steeper, it will soon become so steep that even a ibex cannot stand.

But fortunately...

Lin Yu can fly now.

He slowly descended the slope, soon reaching a point where he had to use "Alchemy: Butterfly Wings" combined with "Wind Vein Technique" to stabilize himself.

Although Lin Yu realized that his "Wind Vein Technique" had been suppressed to the point that it could no longer support his flight when he fell from the sky, it was something that the "Single Wind Vein Technique" could not do.

Because at that time, I didn't have time to do too many operations or make arrangements while I was in the air.

But now, Lin Yu has ample time to make thorough preparations.

Butterfly Wings, Wind Vein Technique... plus the most important point.

He is not a human being with a physical form at present.

Lin Yu's current body is an information life form constructed from the [Ancient Notes].

By abandoning his physical body, Lin Yu was able to freely change his physical form, making him lighter and freer than his original body.

Although Lin Yu felt that he would eventually regain his body, and that the 'Death Game' would most likely return it to him after he finished the game, the freedom he felt now—the ability to change his body at will without the aid of the [Grey Spirit Eye] and the [GPWW Special Combat Suit]—made him ponder...

After regaining your physical body, completing this "dungeon," and returning to reality, why not continue to operate in this manner as much as possible in the future?

Find an absolutely safe place in reality to store your physical body, and then act in this clone form every day—this can even provide an alibi for the identity of "Lin Yu" or "director".

Even when entering a [dungeon] in the future, you can do this: every time you enter a [dungeon], find a place to hide your main body, or send Stieler to guard it. Wouldn't that make you almost invincible?

Lin Yu thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible.

The only pity is...

This [dungeon] is far from over.

even……

If he were to consider the worst-case scenario, Lin Yu felt that he might even lose his physical body.

After all, although the "Death Game" seems to be of a higher status than gods and the world's will, it is ultimately an absolute will that operates according to rules and has no "self" or "subjective consciousness." Therefore, it is still easy for other higher beings, such as gods, to "exploit loopholes."

That raven, the "God of Reality, Illusion, and Change," can interfere with the "Game of Death" quite a bit... So, the "God of Shadow, Pain, and Nightmare," whom He himself acknowledges as almost equal to Him, might also have some way to interfere with the will of the "Game of Death" and cause some of the rules of the game to deviate according to their wishes.

If that's the case...

"I'm afraid I have to prepare myself to temporarily lose my physical body... or I may need some complicated steps to get my body back."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then quickly gathered his thoughts.

It's too early to think about these things now.

He continued to descend—now it was less about walking and more about gliding down using the "Wind Vein Technique" and his feather-light body.

Soon, Lin Yu arrived at the section where the slope suddenly increased—he reached out and held onto the ground behind him, which could almost be called a "wall," and then took a step forward.

Lin Yu successfully floated in the air.

of course……

If this were done outside the "Eternal Cage," it wouldn't be so complicated; a single "Wind Vein Technique" would suffice.

“This ‘eternal cage’ is really troublesome.”

Lin Yu muttered something, and then his body slowly "sinked".

then……

After falling steadily downwards for an unknown period of time, Lin Yu saw a faint light coming from below.

Soon, points of light appeared on the surrounding "walls"—right in front of him.

Lin Yu manipulated his body to move towards the light and quickly discovered...

It was a "door" embedded in the wall.

The light source comes from the small window at the top of the door.

Although the walls and door appear black under light, unlike the surrounding walls which resemble some kind of jade-like material, the door is clearly made of a metallic texture.

Lin Yu could easily deduce that this must be the door where prisoners were held.

He approached the metal door and noticed that it was fitted with a gold lock, subtly engraved with a balance scale pattern and other decorative designs, next to which was a ten-digit number wheel.

But this wasn't a combination lock, because as Lin Yu stared at the number wheel, the hourglass pattern beside it emitted a faint golden light, helping him understand the meaning of the numbers.

"This is... the year of the sentence."

Lin Yu asked in surprise.

The number in tens means that the time prisoners need to be detained here is calculated in "billions of years".

The Earth is only 4.6 billion years old. A billion years ago, the Earth was in the Proterozoic Era. Although life existed there, algae had not yet emerged. In other words, if we want to be released from here now, we would need to go through the long period of time from the evolution of the Earth from single-celled and super-ancient microorganisms with only a few cells to the emergence of human civilization.

The enormous number made Lin Yu feel somewhat absurd for a moment—he thought of a theory of drama or story creation that has emerged in recent years, namely that "numbers" should not be too inflated.

A number that is "very large" within a reasonable range often has a shocking effect; however, if the number inflates to an unreasonable degree, it will only make people feel that it is somewhat detached from reality, or even absurd.

At this moment, Lin Yu briefly experienced this sense of absurdity in the face of this sentence.

However, Lin Yu soon realized that it made sense.

After all... he now knows that among the prisoners held in this central area, there is at least one "Frost God".

Considering that the person being imprisoned is a god, and the crime is likely to be something absurd like "destroying the ten realms," a sentence of one billion years is actually reasonable.

Then... Lin Yu couldn't help but fall into thought...

Should I make contact with this prisoner?

After all, the prisoners held here are of extremely high rank and have committed heinous crimes. In short, they are probably extremely dangerous in terms of both strength and style of doing things.

But for Lin Yu...

He still doesn't need to hesitate too much.

“Since there’s a door here and there might be prisoners… we have to make contact with them,” Lin Yu muttered to himself. “No matter how scary they are, they can’t be as scary as those guys outside—even if they are gods, at least those inside are locked up and their powers are restricted.”

Today, I have already suffered far too much malice from those in high positions.

Even if the Frost God himself were imprisoned here, Lin Yu wouldn't be too surprised.

He stopped in front of the door, reached out and pressed his hand against it, and began to think about how to open it.

Through the window of this metal door, you can see a short passageway behind it—the source of the light is a chandelier hanging in this passageway.

At the end of the passage was another flat metal door, without a lock or windows.

"It seems that as long as this door is opened, the second door might not even need to be cracked... So, how do I open this lock?"

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then reached out and fiddled with the door lock.

But just as Lin Yu's fingertips touched the door lock...

The decorative patterns on the golden lock suddenly lit up briefly.

Then...

With a "click," the lock popped open by itself.

Then, Lin Yu saw the metal door in front of him open automatically.

He was stunned.

I didn't do anything, so how did the door open by itself?

"Could it be... because my 'authority' is sufficient?"

"Or is it due to the influence of the 'God of Shadows'?"

But no matter what, it's a good thing the door is unlocked.

Lin Yu stepped into the passage and walked towards the end of the corridor.

He stood in front of the second door.

This time, Lin Yu didn't even need to touch the second metal door before it clicked open automatically.

At first, Lin Yu only felt something was strange, but now he became more wary.

"Who is it? You really want me to come in, don't you?"

Lin Yu asked.

Seeing no response, Lin Yu turned around and prepared to leave.

But a somewhat helpless voice came from inside.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go."

"It's me, I'm inviting you in."

A female voice that sounded somewhat familiar to Lin Yu rang out. He paused for a moment, then pushed the door open and went inside.

Immediately, the scene behind the door came into Lin Yu's view.

It was a small room with simple furnishings, which really resembled an ordinary prison cell.

The enclosed space contained only a bed and a chair, and the walls were covered with all sorts of writing.

And on the chair...

Sitting there was a woman with platinum blonde hair and eyes, almost translucent skin, and a faint glow emanating from her.
