Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God

Chapter 921: A Familiar Face from the Past

The Lord of the Sixth Island naturally recognized in an instant that the person on the screen was not the 'Freud' of those days.

But facing a face that was seventy or eighty percent similar in features, with even more similarity in spirit, she couldn't help but soften.

Those beautiful, lovely, and splendid memories surged to the forefront of her mind, the face in her memories overlapping with and then separating from the face on the screen before her... The person who seemed so distant suddenly stood before her as if alive again. How could anyone possibly maintain reason, composure, and restraint in such a moment?

Even knowing this was a recording, she couldn't help but "talk" to him, asking him questions.

She truly yearned for the answer to that question as well.

Was this his junior, his child?

Or perhaps a younger brother or something...

Whoever it was, he must have been someone very important to him...

The Lord of the Sixth Island pondered.

Meanwhile, the person on the screen deliberated for a moment before speaking.

"Respected Lord of the Sixth Island, I'm not sure if you've arrived yet."

"If you have... could you do me a favor?"

"Among these 'foreigners' present, there should be a few with exceptionally powerful strength. Within the scope of your abilities, please do not hold back, attack them with everything you've got, and subject them to trials and tests."

Hearing his somewhat courteous yet distant tone, the Lord of the Sixth Island seemed to snap back to reality.

"Ah... I see..."

She let out a sigh, seeming somewhat disappointed.

Schreiber in the video seemed to have anticipated this reaction and spoke again.

"I know this request may be a bit presumptuous and make you uncomfortable, but..."

"Please carefully recall the 'spiritual energy' you just felt. It is extremely important for bringing 'Freud' back into this world."

Upon hearing these words, the Lord of the Sixth Island froze.

Lin Yu on the ground also felt a sense of anticipation.

These words might mean nothing much to the other players, just a simple request.

But Lin Yu was eagerly anticipating...

After all, if the Lord of the Sixth Island carefully discerned it, she should be able to discover that this spiritual energy was different from the spiritual energy Lin Yu had displayed earlier.

Although his spiritual energy was similar in style to Old Zheng's, its characteristics were completely different. If the Lord of the Sixth Island, whose spiritual energy was of the same origin as Old Zheng's, realized this, she should be able to understand...

That the spiritual fluctuation just now originated from none other than 'Freud' himself.

Combined with the foreshadowing left during their previous visit, this statement could take on an entirely new meaning.

"I can 'resurrect' 'Freud', and I am currently working on this matter."

Lin Yu quietly observed the Lord of the Sixth Island's state, then watched as hope gradually welled up in her eyes and she looked at the surrounding players like they were desserts she'd just laid eyes on. He broke into a grin.

"Just as I thought... Old Zheng's taste in partners was never bad. I knew he had a thing for smart people!"

This Lord of the Sixth Island, she caught on instantly!

As for the other players around, though they didn't understand why the Lord of the Sixth Island had undergone such a transformation after hearing "Schreiber's" words in the video.

They could all clearly sense one thing...

"We're in big trouble now."

Lacan muttered.

Bi Fang let out a sigh: "This is indeed the Psychological Society's style. He truly inherited the entire playbook from the founder 'Freud'! Besides the spiritual energy, this tendency to stoke the fire and set up difficult trials for people is completely inherited as well!"

The Lord of the Sixth Island looked at them, an apologetic expression on her face: "Forgive me, foreign visitors... Because of the commission from 'Freud's' heir, I must... harm you all."

As she spoke, the light of the entire area converged upon her, and then the sealed steel plates around them opened gaps, and automatic puppets crawled out one after another!

Clearly, she possessed nearly the highest privileges in this area.

Lin Yu suddenly understood why even the few players present, some of whom had nearly reached the pinnacle of all players, still found the Lord of the Sixth Island such a headache.

Because... she was fighting on home turf.

"It seems this plan of mine worked even better than I imagined!"

Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh.

After all...

The greater the losses these people suffered here and the harder they got beaten, the deeper their impression of the name "Schreiber" would be and the higher they would rate him!

Even though it was the Lord of the Sixth Island doing the attacking...

They would absolutely, absolutely attribute everything that happened here to that "Schreiber" fellow.

Of course...

"Too bad I won't get to see it."

The cursed statue had completely collapsed, and the completion conditions had been met.

Lin Yu continued playing dead, then amidst the chaotic situation, located Algae's position through the tracking of the [Briefcase].

"We really got lucky this time... Thank goodness it was that split-personality one who got the [Briefcase], and she's currently in her 'Algae' state."

Lin Yu remarked, using this final opportunity to take out an [item] from his [item space].

Then...

"Crash!"

The statue completely collapsed, and the familiar sensation of weightlessness washed over him.

Lin Yu lay quietly within the [Settlement Space], watching as the blood text prompt appeared before his eyes.

[Congratulations, you have passed the game "Lamenter's Weep"!]

[We are now settling the rewards for this game!]

[You have received the basic reward: Misty Sea Realm Random Material Encyclopedia Unlock x2]

[You have received the advanced reward: Misty Sea Realm Sixth Island White Moon Princess Church Coordinate]

Although this extra [dungeon] was entered using a special [item], because tasks had to be completed to exit rather than being freely accessible, unlike the previous time in the Land of Certain Death, this [dungeon] would have its rewards settled by the Death Game.

Of course...

The basic reward for this [dungeon] wasn't 7 days of survival time.

Instead, it was something called [Misty Sea Realm Random Material Encyclopedia Unlock].

This thing could obviously be linked with the [Encyclopedia] privilege.

Moreover, Lin Yu had also received an additional "advanced reward."

[Misty Sea Realm Sixth Island White Moon Princess Church Coordinate]. This should be able to link with the [Map] privilege.

Although Lin Yu hadn't activated the [Map] yet or advanced to the [Third Tier], he could tell from the name alone...

"The effect of this thing should be that once my [Map] privilege is unlocked, I can use the [Map] to appear directly on the Sixth Island of the Misty Sea Realm... That church should be the one on the hillside of Cassetti town where Old Zheng's sweetheart and I first met!"

Lin Yu felt deeply gratified.

With this coordinate, once he advanced to the [Third Tier], he could sell Old Zheng off to... no wait, hand him over to his lover at any time.

"Lovers finally united. I'm such a good person."

Lin Yu was extremely satisfied with this haul.

Of course... those two intangible rewards weren't the main point.

The main point was...

The complete set of powerful [items] that had belonged to Old Zheng during his lifetime, now in his hands!
