The Final Deception!

"Freedom Alliance?"

Upon hearing the Crowman's words, Lin Yu paused for a moment, then began to recall.

This is also one of the three organizations that appeared alongside the "Psychology Society" and were banned from the forum.

Lin Yu felt somewhat helpless, and even couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Fine, so I just finished one Instance and I've already been targeted by two such troublesome organizations!"

Lin Yu sighed with genuine emotion.

Is my "potential" really that great?

This has actually attracted two organizations that want him to join!

No, considering that the "Heavenly Artisan" just now also invited me...

"So, all three organizations that are on the 'forum' blacklist invited me?"

Lin Yu sighed.

Things are really getting more and more complicated.

Now, as a newbie who has just cleared two Instance, he doesn't even know the faction divisions among "Death game" Player, yet he's already being targeted by three well-known organizations that are clearly not "righteous".

This is not a good thing.

"Sure enough, once we get out, we need to quickly disguise ourselves and do as much investigation as possible."

"We also need to find out what this 'Tier Advancement' all about as soon as possible."

Lin Yu thought to himself, then looked at the gray Crowman.

"Alright, shall we move on to the next question?"

Lin Yu asked, and the gray Crowman nodded.

The Crowman smiled and said, "Alright, let's move on to the second question..."

"Of all the information I've given you in this room, only one sentence is 'false.' Do you know which one it is?"

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes upon hearing the Crowman's question.

This second question is rather interesting.

Unlike the first question, which allowed Lin Yu to instantly understand many things the moment he heard it.

However, if we take this statement as a "premise" to deduce what the Crowman said earlier.

About Himself, about "Deity", about the "Death game"...

Any false statement could lead Lin Yu to many different answers and outcomes!

But this problem...

Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief.

"Now I can only guess—I'm guessing the one where you'd give me an 85."

Lin Yu looked at the Crowman.

The Crowman squinted.

"Oh, and what's your reasoning?"

"My reason is that I think my answer is pretty perfect," Lin Yu said calmly. "You probably couldn't help but give me a 100 out of 100 in your mind... or at least a 98!"

The Crowman was stunned for a moment after hearing Lin Yu's words, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, Error answer..."

"But your answer is very interesting, so I'll still give you a reward—you can ask me one question in any Game, and I'll give you a clear and truthful answer to any question I know the answer to."

"--Not limited to this Game!"

As the Crowman spoke, he raised his Right Hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

"Smack!"

The long, slender fingers made a cracking sound, and Lin Yu felt a sharp pain in his Right Hand wrist.

Above, a simple line drawing of a gray Crow appears, as if etched onto his skin.

"If you have any questions, just place your left index finger on it and ask me."

As the Crowman spoke, Lin Yu gently stroked the skin.

"Okay, I'm starting to believe this is a 'Reward Instance'..."

He muttered to himself, then looked at the Crowman.

"So, shouldn't we now move on to the final 'Dilemma Question'?"

Lin Yu asked, Crowman nodded.

"Of course... but this time, it's not about choosing to 'leave,' but rather choosing the Item reward you want."

The Crowman spoke, spreading his hands.

In his two hands, gray mist condensed into two capsules, one red and one blue.

"In my outstretched hands, I hold two Item that will greatly benefit you."

"Whether you choose the left or Right Hand in front of you, you will receive one Item reward and leave the current Instance."

"Now, please choose... Which of my hands would you like to choose?"

"Please point to it and tell me!"

The Crowman spoke in a low voice.

Lin Yu stared blankly at the red and blue pills in the Crowman's hand.

"You Deity, you've even seen 'The Matrix'?"

"I've also dabbled in human entertainment," the Crowman nodded slightly. "In fact, it's precisely because of your many creative ideas that this Game has become increasingly rich and interesting."

"Is that Item the capsule?" Lin Yu stroked his chin. "If you've seen the Matrix, from a feng shui perspective, you should choose red..."

"Choosing blue feels like it might mean being stuck in the 'Death game' forever."

The Crowman laughed.

"That's not true. Neither of the two capsules has anything to do with whether you can leave this Instance."

Lin Yu also laughed.

"Yeah, because no matter which side I choose, I can't escape... You bastard Deity, you called it Reward Instance at the very end, but you gave me a huge surprise with the 'final question' in this last room, didn't you? You made me lower my guard with those two seemingly harmonious questions earlier!"

He spoke with a smile, his eyes gradually sharpening.

"You've even stopped 'cawing'? Are you afraid I'll discover that the only lie you told in this room is actually hidden in the third question?"

"No wonder I couldn't figure out my second question; it felt like everything you said was a lie... But you have a conscience; if you lied, you only told one lie, and that was the truth."

"The statement 'Whether you choose the left or Right Hand in front of you, you will receive one Item reward' should be interpreted in a completely reversed way."

As Lin Yu spoke, he looked at the gray Crowman's outstretched hands in front of him.

"No matter which hand you choose, you won't get any Item and you can't leave the current Instance, right?"

The gray Crowman chuckled softly upon hearing Lin Yu's question.

"Heh... So what's your choice?"

"You used the same method four times, it's really easy to guess," Lin Yu sighed. "You even made a point in the last sentence that I had to point to the hand I chose, instead of saying 'left hand' and 'Right Hand'..."

Lin Yu pointed to the sky above.

High in the sky, the towering gray Crowman statue leans on a cane in its Right Hand, and its other hand...

It is laid flat.

I choose the statue with its outstretched hand.

Lin Yu raised his hands above his head and spoke calmly.

The Crowman burst into laughter.

"Even at the very end, I didn't lie to you... No wonder you got the Profession of 'Fraudster'!"

The sound, like rolling thunder, came from above Lin Yu's head.

The giant Crowman "statue" bent down and placed its enormous left hand in front of Lin Yu.

Above, lay two enormous "Item"—a row of chilling teeth and a bright red tongue.

The gray Crowman behind him vanished into smoke.

The Crowman "statue" spoke again.

"Lin Yu, congratulations on answering the final 'Dilemma Question' correctly. Here is your reward; choose one."

"Its name is, [The Tooth of Prophecy]!"

"Its name is, [The Tongue of Deception]!"

"After you make your choice, I will send you out of this Instance!"
