Lin Yu didn't ask who the murderer was, because the other party had clearly hinted multiple times that he would answer if he asked.

He also didn't ask the other person foolish and imprecise questions like "What is your identity?" or "What is your name?"

If the other party asked him this question... Lin Yu had many ways to answer directly—and the effect was better than not answering at all.

Lin Yu is too good at using "Lying with Truth".

Therefore... in order to reduce the possibility of Fraud, Lin Yu needed to ask more precise questions.

But he didn't ask for my "Real Name" or "Socializing ID"...

"Real Name" might be duplicated. If the other person's name is something like Zhang Wei or Li Qiang, they'd probably be grinning from ear to ear when they hear Lin Yu's question.

Socializing IDs aren't very reliable either... Even if you know them, you might not be able to pinpoint the other person's identity.

In Huaxia, there exists a unique and magical phone number that can accurately identify each person and directly obtain a wealth of information, including their Real Name, place of origin, address, ethnicity, and age.

This is the perfect question to use in this situation.

Sure enough, the Ghost-faced Man advisor opposite him trembled upon hearing Lin Yu's question.

"This is... truly remarkable. I need to re-evaluate you."

As the other person spoke, Lin Yu made a "please" gesture.

"Then give me your ID Number."

The Ghost-faced Man fell silent again, then shook his head after a moment. "How could I possibly give you the answer? You draw the card."

This is, of course, inevitable.

If this Ghost-faced Man truly didn't care about revealing his identity, why would he choose to find Lin Yu through "Entering Dream"?

Moreover, even in his dreams, he always wrapped himself up tightly, completely sealed off!

Lin Yu silently drew a Support Card into his hand.

He glanced at it.

It is a "mouth".

"It's this one..."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes.

The best way Lin Yu could think of to use this card was at the beginning of the game... As long as the opponent didn't have one of each of the three types of cards, after playing all the cards in the first round, he could quickly lock down all the cards in their hand.

In any case, I now have two more Support Card in my hand...

Lin Yu tapped on the table.

"Can we start the second round of the Game now?"

"Of course... do I need to wash it again?"

The Ghost-faced Man handed the golden card to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu casually chopped the meat a couple of times and placed it on the table.

As the winner of the previous round, he was the first to draw a card.

The two quickly drew three more Rock Paper Scissors Card and held them in their hands.

Lin Yu glanced at the cards in his hand.

"Scissors, scissors, paper."

Getting two pairs of scissors isn't exactly a good hand.

However, if you have cloth on hand, it's not too bad.

The Ghost-faced Man spoke in a low voice, "You went first in the last round, but I'll go first this round."

"If you're asking me to discuss it, I'm not really keen on agreeing."

Lin Yu responded calmly.

"Then this is no longer a discussion."

As he spoke, the Ghost-faced Man placed an "ear" on the table.

"I choose to use a Support Card."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Wow... you're pretty radical too."

"Alright, I declare that the card I'm about to release will definitely not be a stone."

Lin Yu said casually.

Anyway, he didn't have any stones in his hand.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's declaration, the Ghost-faced Man nodded slightly and gestured for him to proceed.

Now it was Lin Yu's turn...

He laid his two cards out on the table at the same time.

"I'm choosing to use two Support Card this turn."

"Eyes" and "mouth" appear on the table at the same time.

The Ghost-faced Man was truly taken aback.

He turned to Lin Yu, seemingly pondering whether the other's actions were simply an attempt to prove that he was more extreme than himself!

Lin Yu turned over two cards from the bottom of the deck.

"Tsk... that really is the worst-case scenario."

He sighed inwardly.

Because what Lin Yu saw was "rock" and "scissors".

There are now three rocks, one scissors, and one paper outside.

In other words, the possible arrangements the opponent has could be...

Scenario 1: Three stones.

Scenario 2: Two rock-paper-scissors.

Scenario 3: Two stones and one piece of cloth.

Scenario 4: One rock, one paper, one scissors.

With Lin Yu holding two scissors, this was a huge disadvantage.

If it's scenario one, no matter how much Lin Yu struggles, he will inevitably lose.

In the second scenario, the only option is to even the score.

Situations three and four are potentially winning—three is almost the most favorable.

For Lin Yu to win, his opponent must have a piece of cloth in their hand!

The Ghost-faced Man glanced at the cards in his hand and spoke slowly.

"The card I have the fewest of is the Stone."

Lin Yu nodded slightly upon hearing this.

It could be scenario one or scenario four.

Moreover... it's highly likely to be scenario one.

From Probability Theory of view, Lin Yu is already at a huge disadvantage.

But...

This is not a Game based solely on probability.

Even in any game, even those with extremely simple Rule and where luck accounts for up to 90% of the Game and is entirely designed for gambling, there are still aspects that can be manipulated.

Just like Lin Yu did in the last round... psychological tactics.

He silently and calmly placed a Rock Paper Scissors Card down.

After the Ghost-faced Man also turned down his card, Lin Yu spoke calmly.

"Let's reveal the cards."

He turned over his card; it was a pair of scissors.

Meanwhile, the Ghost-faced Man...

It is a stone.

Lin Yu didn't comment on this, he just glanced at the cards he had just seen.

Lin Yu now very certain... no, he is almost 100% certain.

The Ghost-faced Man held three stones in his hand.

"I won't use any cards this round."

The Ghost-faced Man spoke again.

Lin Yu looked at him and shrugged.

"I have no cards left to use."

As he spoke, he placed his cards face down on the table.

The Ghost-faced Man followed closely behind.

The cards revealed this round are cloth and stone.

Lin Yu's was, of course, cloth.

He won the second round.

At this moment, the Ghost-faced Man's cards were revealed—he had three stones.

Therefore, Lin Yu almost couldn't help but laugh inside.

Holding the last pair of scissors in his hand, he was absolutely certain...

This Game, at least, can be tied.

He simply slammed the last pair of scissors onto the table and placed his hands on it.

That way, when it's time to play a card, he only needs to push the card forward and then hold his hand.

However, at this moment, the Ghost-faced Man spoke up directly.

"I choose to use a Support Card."

He then placed his "Right Hand" on the table.

Lin Yu could barely contain his joy upon seeing this card.

Now, he even has a very good chance of winning!
