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

Chapter 1383 Sudden Chaos, The Cruel Side of the Election Meeting (Part 1)

Inside the restaurant, Liang Ye, Yin Lan, and Lin Yu found a corner to sit down and began to eat breakfast while chatting.

“What a troublesome organization… I’m really bad at this kind of backstabbing,” Yin Lan rubbed her nose. She hadn’t eaten much, just ordered a bowl of plain porridge. “Luckily, the appointment of our ‘Order’ administrators, captains, and group leaders at all levels doesn’t require any public elections. I really don’t understand these things.”

Liangye took a bite of the fried dough stick that had softened in the soy milk: "But the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' of Xiba is a very influential organization. Even if we were not invited this time, we cannot simply let their election naturally produce results."

"Now that we have the opportunity to participate in the process... we at least need to make sure we know exactly what kind of people each candidate is."

Although "Order" will not interfere with the election results of "Player Mutual Aid Association" in principle—this is what "Iced Americano" just mentioned, and it is also "Order's" official statement to the outside world.

but……

Liang Ye, Lin Yu, and Yin Lan all knew very well that it was impossible for them to completely ignore the situation.

Just as Liangye said, they need to at least confirm the background of each candidate.

This way, even if the "Player Mutual Aid Association" really does choose someone who is obviously not right to take the stage, there will be prepared countermeasures in advance regarding "order".

Lin Yu and Yin Lan had heard the "Professor" clearly state last night that "Monica" absolutely could not be elected.

Monica happens to be one of the three most popular candidates.

This means that direct interference in the election results has become inevitable.

Lin Yu pondered Liang Ye's words and knew that regardless of whether Liang Ye's "pretending to accept the bribe to probe the iced Americano" was a rare display of his wisdom as a top-notch "corporate slave," since he had done this, he must have already communicated with Li Hua.

"In other words... in this election, besides guarding against external interference from the 'Raiders' and rooting out the moles within 'Order'... we also need to interfere with the factions within the 'Players' Mutual Aid Association' itself."

Lin Yu sighed inwardly, feeling that the things he needed to consider were becoming increasingly numerous.

Fortunately, despite the numerous tasks, Lin Yu did not find them troublesome.

"So, this 'Shang Gen' isn't a good candidate either..."

Yin Lan spoke in a low voice, and Lin Yu shook his head.

"I think he might be able to accept it, but we need to be more careful after he takes office... At least he's better than someone like 'Monica' who absolutely cannot be elected."

Liang Ye took a big gulp of soy milk, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and asked in a low voice, "Damn it, what's this 'Monica' thing?"

Lin Yu laughed: "I told you last night, Captain—but you thought I was joking."

Liang Ye recalled for a moment and immediately realized: "Damn it... the 'Professor' really specifically asked you to kill someone?!"

Yin Lan put down her spoon and said unhappily, "What are you saying—how could the 'Professor' possibly let the 'Director' kill a candidate from the 'Player Mutual Aid Association'... Didn't the professor tell you to keep it a secret? Why did you tell this guy?"

Hearing Yin Lan's questioning words, Lin Yu shrugged: "Comrade Dionysus, Captain Liangye is the commander-in-chief. Even if 'Professor' gave me a secret mission, I have to cooperate with him to carry it out... I can't possibly try to prevent 'Monica' from being elected while completely keeping it from Captain Liangye, can I?"

"That's not realistic either—I believe the professor told me that while he instructed me to keep it a secret, he also gave me the authority to tell a small number of people as appropriate."

Liang Ye also looked at Yin Lan and tapped his plate: "Damn it, do you think I want to know about this kind of troublesome stuff... So what's going on? Are we really going to assassinate a candidate?"

“Based on my understanding of the ‘Professor’s’ instructions, if it is certain that ‘Monica’ will be elected and there is no other way to stop it, then killing her is considered an acceptable option,” Lin Yu said calmly. “After all, that girl has colluded with one of those three organizations.”

Liang Ye was slightly shocked: "She also colluded with those three organizations?"

Yin Lan realized the problem: "'Also'...who else?"

Lin Yu immediately realized: "Iced Americano has this problem too? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

“Damn it, since there’s no concrete evidence yet, I plan to find another opportunity to talk to him tonight,” Liangye said, adjusting the position of his wig. “However… he hinted that he could provide me with some information about the three expelled organizations, especially the ‘Psychological Society’ and the ‘Raiders’, in exchange.”

"Furthermore, it seems that he also hopes that I can persuade more members of 'Order' to cooperate with him by focusing on the perspectives of 'organizational interests' and 'overall interests'."

As Liang Ye spoke, Yin Lan's expression turned stern: "They actually had this trick up their sleeve?!"

She immediately realized that this method of "bribery" and "cooperation" had a much higher success rate than giving gifts!

Because most members of 'Order' have a certain level of ideological awareness, they might not collude with him for personal gain.

But if there's the grand cause of "overall interests" involved... then it's hard to say.

After all, Yin Lan had just learned that the 'director' in front of her was using an informant within the 'Raiders'... Moreover, Yin Lan asked herself honestly, she had indeed accepted Lin Yu's actions very quickly.

Therefore, Yin Lan couldn't say what her attitude was towards this kind of temptation—if the timing was right and the other party used clever rhetoric, she might really waver.

“Sure enough, his foolish behavior was just him looking for a breakthrough,” Lin Yu said in a low voice. “Captain Liang Ye, since you’ve already made contact with him, my suggestion is to continue following up tonight.”

“Damn it, that’s for sure… I definitely need to figure out what this ‘Shang Gen’ is up to, in case there’s some major problem,” Liang Ye sighed. “Right now, I can only hope that ‘Mikan’ is normal.”

Yin Lan also sighed: "To be honest... based on what I've heard about the 'professor,' it's unlikely that she will meet our expectations."

Judging from Yin Lan's tone, Liang Ye roughly understood: "Damn it, after investigating, you're not going to find out that we all have to be killed, are you?"

“Killing is the worst possible strategy. After all, this is an election for the ‘Players’ Mutual Aid Association.’ If we go too far, it could easily damage the organization’s reputation. If possible, I would prefer not to offend anyone,” Yin Lan, who had just unleashed her murderous intent at “Iced Americano,” said words that were very out of character for her. “We should try our best to find a few reliable candidates from among these people and help them defeat the unreliable ones.”

“To be honest, the situation with ‘Shang Gen’ is unclear and may not necessarily be bad; although ‘Professor’ may have found some bad news about ‘Mikan’, the fact that she wasn’t mentioned alongside ‘Monica’ means that if she were elected, at least ‘Professor’ would find it acceptable,” Lin Yu comforted the two. “The situation isn’t that bad yet—our primary task is still to keep a close eye on Monica.”

"Moreover, we still have five days, enough time for us to proceed slowly—besides, they will compete with each other and reveal their weaknesses, then we can just go with the flow."

As Lin Yu spoke, Liang Ye and Yin Lan calmed down a bit.

However, the two had barely relaxed for a second.

Then, a noisy commotion could be heard coming from outside the restaurant, on the other side of the exhibition hall.

At first, they thought it was just a routine preparatory work encountering some difficulties.

But soon...

The noise made the three realize that... things were not so ordinary.

"Killing—!"

"Dead!"

Shouts echoed throughout the venue, and the unrest continued to spread.

The source of the turmoil and chaos can be concluded from these cries—most likely the “death” of someone.

Fortunately, everyone here is a "player" of the "death game" and is familiar with "death." Although there is some confusion, it does not cause panic.

"Let me take a look!"

When Lin Yu saw that "Loquat Candy," who had already joined the internal affairs team to start setting up the site, was the first to rush out, he immediately stood up as well.

"It looks like someone's died, let's go!"

As he spoke, Yin Lan and Liang Ye immediately put down their cutlery. Liang Ye pulled out two tissues to wipe his mouth and followed Lin Yu toward the bustling crowd.

Soon, they realized that the route the people following them were taking was somewhat familiar.

The final destination...

It was the same conference room where the "Iced Americano" had just been!

The door to the conference room was open, and the walls inside were splattered with blood—the bodies of "Ice Americano" and five members of his campaign team were piled against the inner wall, each with a deep, horrifying blood hole between their eyebrows, indicating the cause of their deaths.

In the corner were three unconscious survivors and one conscious survivor—the one who was awake was "Drumstick," whom they had met briefly at the beginning—he seemed to be in some kind of hysterical madness, constantly trembling and muttering to himself.

"We are guilty...we are guilty..."

Meanwhile, Loquat Candy was healing the three unconscious men and "Drumstick" inside—a scroll was spread out on the ground in his hand, and a bluish-green healing power gently enveloped the four survivors, gradually stabilizing the breathing of the unconscious men and making the murmur of the drumsticks grow softer.

"Order's internal affairs team, Group A, seal off this conference room and go upstairs to the broadcasting room to issue a notice reporting the situation here," Loquat Candy said calmly. "Go upstairs and report to Redwood, then find Good Night and ask him to bring people over. If you have 'Human Valley's' contact information, send him a message and ask him to come here as soon as possible."

As Pipa Tang was speaking, Yin Lan, who was in the crowd, immediately chimed in, "We're already here."

Looking at the dead and injured on the ground, Lin Yu and Liang Ye walked up to each other and said, "It's probably not just this conference room that needs to be sealed off... the entire international convention center needs to be sealed off."

Loquat Candy nodded slightly: "I asked 'Ren Gu' to come over as soon as possible, that's why."
