From the difference in the daoist temple's location alone, Lin Yu could already tell that a conflict existed between the escort and the three players who had arrived later.
That meant one side had to be untrustworthy—whether they were deliberately lying or had been deceived themselves, the result was the same.
At first, Lin Yu suspected that they had concealed their real Clearance Conditions, perhaps even using some method to fool the [One-sentence Lie Detector].
But after arriving at the daoist temple and realizing that the mastermind behind all this possessed abilities related to "time," Lin Yu recognized that there was a more reasonable explanation for the abnormalities surrounding the three players.
That was... these three bastards had also "confused" their perception of time.
Their mission had actually failed long ago, and they had perished in the Fire Hell of Prison Mountain.
Although they appeared to still be alive—at least according to the "Death game"'s judgment, they had already been dead for some time.
"What do you mean, stealing the escort goods? You Psychology Society bastard made that up to scare people, and it's ridiculously far-fetched!"
Deadshot cursed furiously.
Looking at the trio on the ground, who completely refused to believe what he had said, Lin Yu squatted down.
"It's fine if you don't believe me," Lin Yu said calmly. "But I still want to confirm one last thing. A major incident recently happened to your Player Mutual Aid Society. Do you know what it was?"
"What major incident could there be?"
Squirtle said hostilely.
Lin Yu stood up.
"Alright, then I can confirm it."
He looked at Li Nian. "These three don't know about what happened in Haicheng, but they know you and that you're Tier 2. So they've probably been trapped here for around three weeks."
