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

Chapter 1319: Nevernight Huo Ming laughed, so everyone laughed too

Facing Fu Luo's accusations, Lao Zheng made a somewhat pale defense.

"This isn't what you think. It's not a particularly expensive gift." Old Zheng gestured with his hands, but he didn't know what he was gesturing for. From a psychological perspective, this was a typical gesture that symbolized a lack of confidence. "She just gave it to me casually... Make the most of it, you know? Besides, as the leader of an organization at the time, I couldn't let a top-notch item go to waste just because of my feelings, right?"

This explanation sounds somewhat contradictory and seems to be fighting back and forth.

Fu Luo shook his head and said, "No matter how you explain it, I feel this behavior can be compared to that male college student whose girlfriend saved money to buy you a co-branded pair of sneakers, but because you don't particularly like the star of the co-branded shoes, you just secretly post them on Xianyu."

"You don't even need to post this online. Even if it's on Tieba, the older guys will definitely scold you for being ungrateful."

Lin Yu added calmly: "He is a textbook scumbag. No wonder you dare not return to Kirishima Island Sixth Island."

Old Zheng raised his hands. "Please stop torturing me, both of you. I admit that I did have a bit of an avoidant episode at the time, and I felt a bit like I had given up on myself. I'm a professional, and I'm well aware that my mental state wasn't great during that time, and I did a lot of stupid things... Can we get back to the real business of tracking down the murderer?"

Lin Yu shrugged: "I have no objection. Anyway...does this thing require mental strength to use?"

Old Zheng shook his head. "That's not necessary. All you need to do is find an opportunity to press the button when the target person's mind is active. It will automatically record the mental frequency band."

Lin Yu nodded: "Since this thing has at least passed from you to Lacon, and since it doesn't require any special skills to use, the other party may not be a master who is often active in Kirishima."

Lao Zheng nodded: "Yes, that's understandable."

"Items are very mobile between players, so this isn't a particularly useful clue," Fu Luo sighed. "After all, Lao Lin is still a member of the Order... and we can't just ask Lacon who he gave the item to."

Hearing Fu Luo's words, Lao Zheng glanced at Lin Yu, then echoed Fu Luo.

"Yes, yes, indeed, this clue seems to have ended here."

Obviously, Lao Zheng has realized...

Lin Yu might really have a way to ask Lacan himself, and he seems to be planning to do so.

After all, Lao Zheng knew very well that Lin Yu's identity was not just a member of "Order".

Lin Yu changed the subject calmly.

"Anyway, having this [item] as a clue is better than nothing."

"Old Zheng, do you have any way to reverse-engineer the user's traces? Or perhaps check the soul status records of this [item]'s historical inputs?"

Old Zheng shook his head. "Unfortunately, this is just a prototype, so its functions are rather rudimentary. It can only record the frequency band of one soul at a time, and once a new soul is recorded, the previous record will be overwritten. Honestly, this kind of [prop] is actually the majority. Notebooks like the one you have in your hand, with extensive usage records, are very rare."

Fu Luo also reacted: "The notebook you are talking about is referring to our warm home now?"

Lao Zheng was helpless: "Don't interrupt—and don't make it sound like we're like dogs, okay? Can't we use words like 'home' and 'residence'?"

Fu Luo shrugged: "Just listen to it while you can."

Lin Yu looked at the two people joking around and realized that he could not squeeze out any more useful information from this notebook, so he simply waved his hand.

"It seems that this [item] can only provide so many clues at this stage... Let's go and meet up with Huo Ming in the Nevernight Sky."

Although he specifically hinted to the manager to entertain Buyetian Huoming as long as possible, but considering Buyetian Huoming's personality, he thought he would not stay as long as the other party wished, and would probably return to the wild again soon.

Moreover, under the cooling reduction effect of [Yedu Yingcai Bilingual Middle School Student ID], the cooling time of [Mask] was almost restored. Lin Yu changed his appearance from "Vice President Gert" of Shenli Group, that is, "Big Ball" who he had met a few times, to John H. Arthur's ordinary face, which was close to the average face of the city that never sleeps.

After putting Lao Zheng away and asking Fu Luo to change back into his original casual clothes, Lin Yu set off again and returned to the heavy transport truck parked on the hill.

The car door opened again, and Lin Yu and Fu Luo got back into the car - Huo Ming from Buyetian had not returned yet, and was probably arguing with the manager.

The only people left on the car were Dongming Shuliu, besides some armed personnel who were ready to provide support.

She was also surprised when she saw the two of them get into the car.

"Welcome back, Director Arthur, Mr. Forbolo... But you two are pretty fast."

Lin Yu nodded: "It's just a simple investigation, it won't take long - not to mention that the security of this mining area is useless to me."

Dongming Shuliu gave a thumbs-up. "Manager Arthur is truly an expert—do I need to inform Lord Huoming of the Nightless Sky? She's been invited by the head of this mining area to be a guest."

Lin Yu shook his head: "It's okay, just let the respected Lord Huo Ming of the Nevernight Sky act at her own pace, there's no need to disturb her."

As he spoke, Lin Yu took Forboluo back to their seats and sat down to wait.

Just as Lin Yu expected... Huo Ming of the Nevernight City did not stay there for too long.

She quickly returned to the heavy vehicle with her attendants, guards, and the mining personnel who came to see her off.

After boarding the vehicle, all members saluted Huo Ming of Buyetian.

"Dear sir! Welcome back aboard!"

Buye Tianhuo Ming waved his hand: "I've told you so many times, when you go out on a mission in the Great Wilderness, even if the situation is not urgent, there is no need to engage in these useless etiquettes!"

Dongming Shuliu smiled and said, "Company charter, there's nothing we can do about it. How was your chat with those guys from the Divine Power Group, boss?"

Huo Ming curled his lips. "I thought there would be at least some kind of test, but they turned out to be very soft and don't seem like they're from the Divine Power Group... It's really a bit strange."

Dongming Shuliu was also quite surprised. "Is this purely a way of entertaining you? That's really strange... But perhaps the other party's rank and status are too low, so he doesn't even have the courage to test me."

Huo Ming nodded. "That's possible. The Shenli Group's foolish corporate structure does indeed breed a lot of people who just want to shirk responsibility when things go wrong... Anyway, it's a good thing they don't have any other intentions. Let's go."

Huo Ming sat back in his chair and cleared his throat. "Also, Bandy, are there any drinks in the car?"

"The tea they gave me was terrible. Not only did it burn my throat, but now there's a bitter taste in my mouth. They looked like idiots who fell for the Universal Chamber of Commerce's 'natural hand-picked' promotional gimmick—I need to rinse my mouth out."

Dongming Shuliu smiled and said, "A junior manager at the Shenli Group actually dared to buy wild, hand-picked tea... Doesn't he know that the best quality wild teas are reserved in advance by the various nobles?"

"Who knows? Maybe they thought they were getting a good deal, and since they've never had good ones before, they assumed this is what it tasted like."

Huo Ming sighed and then cursed, "Those rotten tea leaves might even make a lot of money... The Wanyong Chamber of Commerce is truly a bunch of geniuses, full of great ideas for squeezing the poor out of their money."

Bandy, who was standing nearby, trotted over, holding a bottle of iced drink. He said, "Respected Master Huo Ming, our Truth Company is just about to enter the beverage market. Try this!"

"This is the new self-developed beverage that arrived yesterday along with the supplies. We're currently releasing it internally as a promotional gift and testing market feedback. Everyone who's tried it thinks it's delicious!"

Huo Ming unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip, and then sighed.

"It really tastes good... Even without looking at the packaging, you can tell it's from Paris... This bastard chews on oranges every day and has really made a name for himself!"

"Just... remember to give this feedback to headquarters. If we put this drink into mass production, the outer packaging will need to be changed."

"Although I guess we wouldn't miss any feedback from here,"

Huo Ming said this, looking at the somewhat difficult to look at outer packaging, and sighed slightly.

There is a reason why she said, "You can tell it was Paris's work even without looking at the packaging."

Because the packaging of this bottle of drink is printed with various photos of Paris - Paris holding a plump orange and giving a thumbs-up with a bright smile, Paris holding a bunch of oranges like an old farmer with a good harvest, Paris sitting on a hill of oranges, and Paris swimming in a vast sea of ​​oranges in an orange warehouse.

Even Fu Luo and Lin Yu couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw the outer packaging.

"I didn't expect President Paris to have such a whimsical side."

Lin Yu made exclamations and comments that were consistent with his identity as John H. Arthur.

Fu Luo was more direct: "Just tell him that he sometimes looks mentally ill."

After Fu Luo finished speaking, Huo Ming of Buyetian and Dong Ming Suliu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Afterwards, Lin Yu also laughed out loud, and the captains and management above B-1 in the car also laughed out loud.

The members of those teams then all laughed a little less.

The car was suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.

In the car, there was a happy and relaxed atmosphere...

The heavy vehicle left the mining area of ​​Shenli Group and headed towards the next destination set by Lin Yu.

It is about two hours away from here and is an outpost owned by the Universal General Chamber of Commerce.
