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

Chapter 882 Underwater Tracking

Usually, if you want to go alone to an environment where there are many indigenous people, "algae" will lead the way.

Because in terms of direct combat power, "algae" is the stronger one, and algae is also very good at fighting.

Even if they can't win, "Algae" is better at escaping.

but……

The journey to the small town of Kasetei, Kirishima's sixth island, was led by Warabi, a "swindler."

Because according to the information that Fern had learned from hanging out in Kirishima for many years, most of the residents of Casserti were scale-armored people. Although they looked intimidating, most of them would not fight directly with humans.

On the contrary, each of these guys likes to "lie and cheat", deceive and mislead with words.

As a professional con man, Fern is very good at socializing with people. Gathering intelligence and communicating with people in dangerous situations are her duties.

In a place like Casetti where there are scammers everywhere, Fern is naturally needed to take action.

"These Scaled Men certainly don't know anything about the 'heritage,' so the best solution is to ask them for information from someone who might know."

"According to the intelligence we have, while the owner of the sixth island is mentally unstable and prone to violent outbursts when provoked, she's a genuinely friendly NPC who's very willing to communicate, as long as you avoid mentioning keywords like 'ancient civilization' and 'psychology' too often. Therefore, our first priority is to find the real owner."

Shortly after entering the town, Fern quickly locked onto the person he wanted to communicate with.

A scale-armored man was sitting on the stone steps at the door of a building, his hands wrapped in bandages as if they had just been bandaged.

The reason why Fern chose the other party was that he could roughly judge from the color of the scales that this scale-armored man was relatively "young" and was the type who had just "adulterated" among the scale-armored people.

Finding an underage Scale-Armored Man is likely to attract his parents - and the older the Scale-Armored Man is, the more sophisticated his lies are.

This newly adult Scaled-Armored Man is the best person to talk to because he will not be fooled by the family group and his lies are easy to see through, and you can even just listen to his lies in reverse. He can be said to be the best person to question.

and so……

Fern found him directly and started talking.

"Hello, friend, I'm visiting from another island and I want to ask you for directions."

"I want to visit the owner of your sixth island. May I ask where she is now?"

The scaly man looked at Fern with a look of surprise, and then seemed a little scared.

Fern ignored these expressions—to her, they were just exaggerated performances.

How could I possibly scare him the moment I opened my mouth?

In Fern's opinion, this unfounded performance was a manifestation of the other party's immaturity.

The scaled man then immediately spoke and pointed clearly in a direction.

"Over there—in that tall white building!"

Fern took a look and immediately found the direction the scaly man pointed to. There was indeed a white building there.

"okay, thank you."

Fern nodded and walked towards the white building.

but……

After confirming that his figure had disappeared from the sight of the scaly man, Fern took out a box in a shadowy corner and sprinkled some "dust".

Then, her figure became almost transparent - and then, using this disguise, Fern circled and moved through the buildings in Casserti.

The direction Fern was heading was exactly the opposite of the direction of the church that the scaly-armored man pointed to.

"It's probably fine to just reverse what the young Scaled Man says—the church is white, so I need to look for the black and gray ones; the church is relatively isolated from the town, so the target building is probably inside the town; the church is high, so I'll look for the lower ground... and try to go in the opposite direction as much as possible."

Fern quickly formulated his own strategy of advance in his mind.

In Fern's opinion...

Although it may not be completely opposite, there may be only one or two points that are opposite - but if you look for it according to this principle, you should be able to find what you want soon!

……

……

……

Lin Yu sat under a tree beside a pond on the sixth island, quietly waiting for news from Hannah, while at the same time releasing his mental power to explore the pond in front of him.

"I wonder how the other players are progressing... They shouldn't be going too fast, right?"

"After all, I carry the brains of the original 'Floyd' within me, and I've managed to reach near-optimal form through my rhetoric with the Sixth Island Master, which is why I've made this progress. They shouldn't be able to outpace me."

"Plus, that military residence will probably be looking for an opportunity to cause trouble for them. Whether they succeed or not, it will definitely take the 'Predators' time to deal with it... and Fu Luo will probably have to look for Old Yao."

"So... I should still have time to set up."

"The only thing worth worrying about is Fern... But I know her pretty well, after all. If she's really catching up too quickly, I can make some targeted arrangements for her in advance."

Lin Yu kept thinking, and his skills in using his mental power became more and more proficient. It must be said that the owner of the Sixth Island might have some deeper meaning in putting Lao Zheng's "legacy" in the water.

The pool on this island is deep and winding. Lin Yu feels that it is designed specifically for spiritual exploration.

Of course - with Hannah's help, Lin Yu was cheating in a sense.

The little octopus swam happily underwater - she herself was also sincerely happy to swim in open water after a long time.

For Hannah, this didn't even feel like hard work—it was almost like play.

However, Lin Yu would not reduce his gratitude to the hard-working little octopus for its contribution just because Hannah herself did not find it hard work.

"If it weren't for Hannah, it would have taken a long time to find all these pools one by one..."

While Lin Yu was thinking, Hannah's feedback also came from his mind.

"Quack! Mr. Director—something seems amiss underwater!"

"The secret passage beneath this body of water seems to have been opened and cleared by humans—and it was recently opened."

Hannah said this, and Lin Yu looked stern.

"So there are still experts?"

This was also within his expectations - although almost all players were certainly not able to arrive here so quickly to start searching for land, but...

There must be someone among the natives of Kirishima who can find this place.

These secret passages in the waters are connected to the sea outside, and "smuggling" from the sea to the island is also a foreseeable route.

Especially if the other party also knows that the inheritance is in the water - they are more likely to choose this path.

So, Lin Yu made a judgment immediately.

"Since they've just opened up the waterway, that means they haven't gone far. Furthermore, they must be targeting a larger target, which is why they need to clear and open up the waterway."

"Hannah—track him down! Let's find that guy!"
