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

Chapter 1420 Niou's Decision

The moment Lin Yu saw "Nioh", he made a top priority thought that took precedence over all other thought processes.

That is... if I wanted to run away now, could I escape?

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Yu felt that... even if the opponent was a "fourth-tier" "Renwang" and he wasn't quite sure what his specific abilities and "mental domains" were, if the opponent didn't attack him immediately, he should still be able to escape.

After arriving at this somewhat reassuring conclusion, Lin Yu immediately began further reflection.

That is……

Does he really need to run away now?

The answer seems to be no.

Because "Niou" did not show any hostility towards him, and it is very likely that he did not recognize that he was not the real "Yan Guang".

Of course, Lin Yu knew that even if the other party recognized him as the imposter 'Yan Guang', there was probably no need for him to run away.

Because at this moment, Niou harbors no hostility towards him whatsoever.

He showed no hostility toward the embalmers, Xiaoyun and Niou, who were standing beside him.

Although Lin Yu was unsure whether Ren Wang had heard the self-narration of the woman who called herself "A Yu" or whether she could recognize that she came from the "Freedom Alliance," he should be able to tell that the woman in front of him was not a member of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" or "Order," nor was she an invited person who should be present at the venue.

But he still didn't care.

Based on the somewhat sarcastic comments the "God of Wine" had made about him before, Lin Yu could easily draw a conclusion.

"This guy... might not actually attack us."

Based on this, Lin Yu glanced at Xiao Yun again without making a sound.

He wanted to know if Xiaoyun had recognized "Nioh".

Judging from Xiaoyun's reaction...

It seems there isn't one.

Although Xiaoyun showed "vigilance" and "distrust" towards the newly arrived red-haired man, it wasn't enough.

Xiaoyun did not show any particular signs of being on high alert.

Her level of vigilance seemed to be directed only at a master who could suddenly appear silently and escape her notice.

This is absolutely not the attitude one should have when guarding against "Nioh" or the "Tier 4" player ranked ninth on the leaderboard.

Even if Fang Qing were in the venue, Xiao Yun shouldn't have acted so calmly and composed.

After quickly assessing both sides' attitudes and reassessing the situation, Lin Yu reacted swiftly.

He spoke in the same manner as Yan Guang, looking at King Ren anxiously for help: "Your Majesty King Ren, this woman claims to be 'Ayu' from the 'Raiders.' I beg you to help me capture and imprison her alive!"

Lin Yu spoke up.

This statement is both an imitation of Yan Guang, an action befitting Yan Guang's status, and, more than a request for Ren Wang's help, a reminder to Xiao Yun...

This red-haired man is "Nioh".

Sure enough, the moment Lin Yu finished speaking, Xiao Yun's face showed surprise. She looked at "Renwang" and although her expression remained unchanged, her eyes blinked rapidly, revealing a hint of surprise.

Compared to Xiaoyun's reaction, Renwang remained unchanged. He shook the Want Want milk can in his hand and then said, "I said, 'Yan Guang'... are you sure you've got something wrong?"

“This guy shouldn’t be ‘Ayu’ from ‘The Raiders’—although I’ve only seen ‘Ayu’ once or twice, and only from a distance. But that violent little girl from ‘The Raiders’ shouldn’t be this calm, and her hair is always like a traffic light or a color palette, it couldn’t be such a plain color.”

Upon hearing Renwang's response, Lin Yu immediately spoke up.

"But she's still an uninvited guest of unknown identity... I think it's better to keep her under control!"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Ren Wang looked at Xiao Yun again: "Yes, although I know you are not 'A Yu,' why do you call yourself 'A Yu'?"

"If you're going to impersonate someone, there's no need to impersonate someone who's hostile to our organization, is there? Is your real identity worse than 'Ayu'... or rather, is there really anyone worse than a senior member of 'The Raiders'?"

Niou pondered for a moment, muttering to himself.

However, Xiaoyun calmed down at this moment—as if she had gained some confidence.

"Yes... but I didn't impersonate 'Ayu' from 'The Raiders' to gain any advantage for myself. I just wanted to frame her."

Renwang raised an eyebrow: "Do you have a grudge against Ayu?"

"We don't have any personal grudges, but I wish she were dead."

Xiaoyun said sincerely.

Lin Yu said coldly, "No matter who you are, you are not leaving today—Your Excellency, please act quickly!"

However, Niou still did not make a move.

He even very clearly rejected Lin Yu.

"No, I won't do it."

Lin Yu's face showed a look of astonishment.

"why?"

Niou calmly said, "Because although I can trap her... I don't want to face the person behind her."

Lin Yu looked at Xiao Yun and said incredulously, "Who exactly is this woman? What is her background that makes you so wary?"

“I don’t know exactly who she is, but I already know where she comes from,” Niou crushed the empty can and casually tossed it into the nearby trash can. “Behind her… is the most protective of her own among the ‘fourth-tier’ experts… and there’s more than one.”

"Besides, I don't think she intends to do anything too outrageous... so I think I'll just turn a blind eye."

"If we really keep her here, it might cause trouble for the organization."

Lin Yu looked surprised upon hearing Ren Wang's words.

This bewildered expression wasn't even an act, since Lin Yu himself was genuinely unsure how to respond to "King Ren" in the guise of "Yan Guang".

Is this the strongest member of the "Player Mutual Aid Association," a "Tier 4" expert?

Although Lin Yu knew that what 'Renwang' said was basically true, after all, he knew Xiaoyun's background very well—the 'Freedom Alliance' had few members, and the few 'Fourth Order' members were indeed likely to come to help personally if they were in trouble.

But... isn't it a bit too strange that 'Nioh' would so completely disregard everything and directly tell the 'Third Tier' members of the organization that he doesn't intend to get involved?!

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu decided to perform according to his intuitive judgment of Yan Guang.

He looked at Xiaoyun, a look of resentment on his face.

"If that's your opinion, I respect your judgment, Lord Niou... But at least tell me, who exactly is this guy?"

Niou shook his head and said, "That won't do... Believe me, sometimes not knowing is better for you."

Lin Yu was still unwilling to give up: "What kind of being is it that makes you so wary?"

“It’s not that I’m afraid, I’m just afraid of trouble,” Niou said. “Besides, she shouldn’t interfere with the election process… You’re wrong, aren’t you?”

As Renwang spoke, he looked in Xiaoyun's direction.

Xiaoyun looked at Renwang: "'That's hard to say'... Although I'd like to say that, I really have no interest in your election process."

Renwang looked at Lin Yu: "Look, Yan Guang, she said that."

Does what she says mean it?

Lin Yu still maintained an unyielding stance.

Niou sighed: "If something really goes wrong, can I take responsibility?"

Lin Yu frowned: "Since you've put it this way, I naturally can't refuse... But... Your Highness, please reconsider."

"Please consider the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' more."

As Lin Yu spoke, Ren Wang waved his hand dismissively, looking exasperated.

"This is the result I've considered..."

Then, he looked at Xiaoyun and said, "Why don't you leave? Do you really want to stay here and let those guys over there keep arguing with me?"

Xiaoyun bowed slightly: "Thank you, and..."

"Bye-Bye."

She raised her right hand, gently moved her four fingers up and down, then turned and left.

Lin Yu stared at Xiao Yun's departing figure, and spoke as if suppressing great dissatisfaction.

"I do not understand……"

Renwang sighed, put his hands behind his back, and said in a very deliberate, deliberately profound tone, "You'll understand when you reach the 'Fourth Tier'."

At this moment, even without putting himself in Yan Guang's shoes, Lin Yu felt somewhat helpless.

In a sense...

This "Nioh" definitely doesn't seem quite normal!

Although he is a genuine 'fourth-tier', it always feels like he's faking it!

Then King Ni spoke again.

“I know you’re still dissatisfied… Well then, even though you didn’t run, you must have candidates you support,” Renwang looked at Lin Yu. “You seem to be quite close to a lot of candidates, right, Yan Guang?”

Lin Yu nodded calmly: "Yes, what is it, Your Excellency?"

“Name the person you support, and I will support him too.”

Niou said calmly.

Lin Yu was shocked, but his face showed unexpected joy, and then he began to ponder.

Given Yan Guang's identity, he would inevitably say it's either Xi Chen or Mi Gan, and most likely he would say Xi Chen.

Lin Yu was just wondering... should he say what Yan Guang might think?

After all, this is a great opportunity for any candidate to gain the support of "Nioh" - support from a "Tier 4" expert within the "Player Mutual Aid Association". This support is probably enough to turn a marginalized candidate into a popular candidate in an instant!

But after thinking for a moment, Lin Yu decided to respect the character setting of "Yan Guang".

He said, "I support 'Xi Chen'."

As Lin Yu spoke, King Ren nodded.

"Hmm... 'Xi Chen'?"

After a moment's thought, he asked, "Who is that? Could you introduce him?"
