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

Chapter 887 Kirishima Heritage

Lin Yu, who had read the information about the "Professor", knew that this "diving businessman" was quite extraordinary.

First of all, as an NPC who has interacted with many players and at least appears to be friendly, he has not had "in-depth interactions" with any player.

He doesn't reveal his real name or face, which means that there is no such person in any player's social circle.

and so……

The reason why Lin Yu wanted the other party to take off his helmet was naturally because he planned to join this mysterious and powerful "diving businessman" on [social].

Although he seems to have his own plans and is somewhat hostile towards players, he also has a strong conflict with Old Zheng...

But Lin Yu didn't care about that - after all, this guy looked useful.

However, when he saw the opponent's lineup, Lin Yu was still a little surprised.

Although he knew that the other party must be hiding a secret, Lin Yu never expected...

This guy is a puppet.

An iron-gray head and a telescopic tubular neck...

This is the most common "puppet" among most of the "buildings" in Kirishima that are not occupied by various island monsters - those puppets that have no consciousness and can only repeat simple commands.

Therefore, this metal diving suit is not "worn" on the diving businessman, but is more like a "spliced" state.

Lin Yu could see that there was a mechanical structure on the shoulders of this guy that looked like a buckle to fix the parts of the diving suit.

But the opponent was obviously not an ordinary automatic guard or alchemical puppet. After all, his behavior was too "complicated".

He is definitely a guy with advanced wisdom and complete intelligence.

Even if the other party looks like an ordinary puppet... this level of intelligence should also determine that his value in ancient civilization will not be lower than the "transmission gun" he placed on the ground.

But when Lin Yu looked at the other party, he realized that there was actually a more reasonable explanation for all this.

"You are more cautious than I thought, my friend—but since the one you sent here is just a puppet under your control... why are you still afraid of my threats?"

"Are you trying too hard to portray your character?"

Lin Yu looked at the other party and asked with interest.

Rather than saying that this "diving businessman" is a highly intelligent super puppet...

Rather, he should be the guy who is controlling this puppet by some means.

Hearing Lin Yu's question, the diving merchant also began to explain.

"You're mistaken, my friend... I didn't come here remotely controlling an insignificant puppet. I mean, I'm controlling it, and it's certainly not my original body, but I'm not controlling it 'remotely'."

"Ever since the fall of civilization and the catastrophe, no one has the ability to control puppets," the submersible merchant sighed. "The catastrophe killed most people and transformed most of those who survived into cursed monsters—but it wasn't just their souls that were distorted, it was also their technology."

"Ancient technology has become incomprehensible due to the world-wide changes. These already complex puppets... their cores can no longer be driven by humans."

The diving merchant said, then pointed at himself: "So... my soul is in this puppet."

"Where is your original body?"

Lin Yu realized the crux of the matter and asked back.

The diving merchant laughed. "I don't want to use a deformed body... Not everyone is as lucky as the Sixth Island Master... Or rather, there are probably no more than five lucky people in the entire world, including her."

Lin Yu nodded, a hint of respect in his tone: "Then you are indeed amazing... Although we have different positions, I am willing to be friends with you."

"Your name is?"

"You blackmailed me, forced me to tell you my secrets, and now you're asking for my name," the dive merchant said helplessly. "Never mind. You have that person backing you anyway. How could I dare to disobey you?"

"My old name doesn't matter anymore...just call me 'Morse'."

Lin Yu nodded slightly: "Okay, Morse - you can call me 'Schreiber'."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Morse.

The diving merchant Morse walked into the portal that had not yet dissipated, and his figure disappeared completely.

Lin Yu picked up the teleportation gun on the ground, and then checked Schreiber's [Social Panel].

Just as he expected...

In Schreiber's [social] circle, in addition to the several players and Night Vale NPCs added in the previous [copy], there is also a diving merchant named "Morse" from Mist Island.

And after the other party's figure disappeared...

The crow on Lin Yu's wrist spoke again.

"Haha, it's really gratifying, 'Director'—you actually established a relationship with that guy in just a few words."

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows: "Is that guy difficult to deal with?"

The crow laughed. "Of course—why don't you just ask the 'Floyd' you have?"

"Haha, long time no see, my friend—don't worry, speak up. With me covering up, the owner of the Sixth Island won't be able to find this place."

With the crow's promise, Lao Zheng resumed his normal flashing frequency and said, "Your Excellency, the Respected God of Change, it has indeed been a long time since we last met."

Lin Yu was not curious about the fact that the two seemed to have had a brief interaction - after all, Lao Zheng had caused such a big commotion in Kirishima before, it was impossible that the crow didn't know about it.

Even in the mental hospital previously run by Lao Zheng, there was an incarnation of Crow left behind.

However, the two of them didn't seem to be particularly familiar with each other - come to think of it, although Lao Zheng was very good at hypnosis and mental power, and the layout of the 37th Island was also very beautiful... but this kind of scam that relied entirely on "external forces" to be realized, Lin Yu vaguely felt that Crow might not be too interested in it.

"Alright, let's leave the time to you, master and servant. If I show up in Kirishima for too long, I'll get into trouble," Crow said, the mark slowly fading. "Director—you're really becoming more and more surprising."

Lin Yu looked at the crow's mark and said, "Aren't you going to give me a question this time?"

"Haha, that's not impossible—but I can't guarantee whether I will answer truthfully or falsely."

As Crow spoke, Lin Yu looked at the mark on his hand and shook his head slightly.

"That's all right. Just answer. I'll be the judge of the truth."

"Tell me, my friend, what bargain did my sister make with you?"

When Lin Yu asked the question, the crow burst into laughter.

"Gah! That's a terrible question. You're just as annoying as she is!"

"As for the deal I made with her... let me think - it was probably 'inheritance'!"

"She made a deal with me to make sure you get the one 'thing' she used most."
