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

Chapter 1520 Coconut-flavored ice cream tastes like a deception.

The moment the girl finished speaking, a small shadow crept up Lin Yu's back.

Lin Yu immediately sensed a powerful and strange aura coming from behind him, and he immediately took action.

The means performed by the gods are most likely derived from the high power of "authority"—and the best way to counter this power is naturally to use the power of another authority!

At this moment, Lin Yu took out the most complete set of "authority"-related "props" and "ancient notes" from the "prop space" and held them firmly in his hand.

Then...

In an instant, the shadows engulfed his body and soul, and Lin Yu heard countless painful screams and sounds in his ears at that moment.

At the same time, his powerful mental strength made Lin Yu clearly feel that his consciousness was "sinking" into some kind of dream!

Body and soul were shrouded in shadow, only the fingertips that touched the [Ancient Notes] remained unaffected.

"Indeed... yet another deity!"

Lin Yu sighed inwardly.

But despite his feelings, Lin Yu acted without hesitation.

He activated the Ancient Notebook and then absorbed his entire soul and consciousness into it!

Faced with the authority that is draining his soul, even though the "information authority" in the [Ancient Notes] is sealed and not a power held by the gods...

But this is, after all, an item closely connected to Lin Yu himself, and it's also an item certified by the "Death Game," so regarding the matter of collecting Lin Yu's soul...

The Ancient Notes have a higher priority than this god!

And in the instant his soul was about to be taken away...

Lin Yu threw the [Ancient Notes] back into the "Land of the Forgotten"!

After the Ancient Notebook fell, Lin Yu used the Ancient Notebook's information materialization function to reconstruct his body, and then picked up the notebook.

In the “Land of the Forgotten,” the chosen one of the Forgotten God is still locked in a battle with an unknown demigod.

Lin Yu walked towards the direction where the crows were circling in the mist, and found that the one among the crows, representing the "god of truth, falsehood, and change," had become easier to identify.

Because at this moment He was no longer a raven, but a raven-man with a raven's head, dressed in a formal suit and carrying a cane.

He even somehow managed to get a white square table, two exquisite carved wooden chairs, two potted green ivy plants, a landscape bathtub without fish, a small stove, and a complete set of silver-inlaid porcelain cups. On the stove, a dark-colored hot drink with a sweet aroma was bubbling away.

Lin Yu walked to the chair next to the crow, sat down, and let out a sigh.

The crow poured him a hot drink and pushed it to Lin Yu's side: "So, it's not suitable to go out, is it?"

“Yes, there’s something even more terrifying out there,” Lin Yu sighed. “You knew all along, didn’t you?”

“Of course,” the raven slowly blew on the steaming drink in its cup, “but I also know that you won’t be left behind by that guy… Although he is a terrifying being no less than me, as for you… there will naturally be a way to come back.”

“I know you believe I’ll come back, after all, you have two chairs and you’ve prepared tea for me,” Lin Yu said, still displeased. “But why didn’t you tell me?”

The crow chuckled and said, "Caw caw, if I told you not to go out, that another god is out there preparing to ambush you... would you really stay home?"

"Based on our few interactions and the authority I wield, I probably have very little credibility with you. So if I warn you beforehand, even if you think what I'm saying might be true... you'd probably take a look, right?"

The crow countered with a question.

Lin Yu did not deny it: "It seems like I really would do that... but if you remind me, at least I will be mentally prepared beforehand."

"But what I believe is that you can escape even if you're unprepared."

The crow continued, holding its cup, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Lin Yu stared at the crow: "But my body is left outside."

The raven shook its head: "That's alright, since He didn't come in His true form anyway... Under the rules of this 'Eternal Cage,' after your soul leaves your body, His authority focuses on the 'soul' side, so it's still difficult for Him to directly destroy or take away your physical body."

Lin Yu sighed: "So, who is this guy?"

"The 'God of Shadows, Pain, and Nightmares' is the most powerful, troublesome, and chaotic being among the gods," the raven casually remarked. "Only He has the power to make the 'God of Fairness and Judgment' temporarily lose control of his own divine kingdom."

Lin Yu frowned: "Then what should I do? Do you have a way to help me get rid of this 'God of Shadows, Pain and Nightmares'?"

The raven shook its head: "I'm sorry, I'm just a 'projection avatar' you summoned. It's more than enough to deal with an opponent of the level of the 'God of Oblivion's' chosen one, but this time the 'God of Shadows' is serious."

“Although He did not come in His true form… He was a ‘primordial avatar’—a ‘primordial avatar’ that could directly affect the stability of His divine kingdom if His avatar was damaged. Therefore, if I were to compare myself to a coconut-flavored ice cream ball, then He would be the ice cap covering Antarctica.”

Lin Yu sighed: "I understand, the investment on both sides is not the same... But your analogy is really strange. Although it is very vivid, why do you have to emphasize that you are a coconut-flavored ice cream ball?"

“Because ‘coconut-flavored ice cream’ tastes like ‘deception,’ which suits me very well,” the crow blew on the hot drink in its cup again. “However, although I can’t directly help you, I can give you some advice.”

"What advice?"

Lin Yu adopted a posture of listening attentively.

“Wait, wait for Him and the ‘God of Fairness and Judgment’ to determine who is superior—in any case, I’ve temporarily stalled the selection of the ‘God of Oblivion’.”

“Although the ‘God of Oblivion’ might make a move, between the one outside and the one inside,” the raven glanced at the chosen ones who were fighting a giant manta ray in the distance, “ah, I’ll still choose my lovely old nemesis.”

Lin Yu sighed: "I fully understand your reasons for making this choice..."

“So, I recommend you wait here with me—I’ve made this place quite comfortable, haven’t I?” the raven said, raising his glass gracefully. “Come and have a taste; it’s a rare delicacy.”

Lin Yu raised the cup to his lips, then moved it away.

"Do you think I'm an idiot? You've been blowing on it for ages without drinking it, but you want me to drink it... Do you think I'll drink it?"

The crow laughed: "My tongue is a bird's tongue, so it's more sensitive to heat."

Lin Yu glanced at the stove: "Then why are you still heating it?"

"Okay, maybe I'm just being mysterious."

The crow spoke.

Lin Yu remained unfazed and said, "Then I've only lost the opportunity to taste a certain beverage, nothing worse will happen."

The crow shrugged: "Alright, I'll drink it then... but I have to go through some procedures."

As it spoke, the crow turned its head and picked up a white pebble from the potted green ivy next to it, then gently placed the stone into the cup.

After that, the crow took a sip of its drink and showed an expression of delight.

"Ah, this is truly enjoyable."

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then picked up a pebble from the potted plant and put it into the cup.

The crow looked at Lin Yu with some curiosity.

"What are you doing?"

“Imitating your mysterious ritual,” Lin Yu began, “I’d like to ask you the same thing: what’s the point of doing this?”

The crow said earnestly, "I'm paying homage to our ancestors by putting stones in my drink—you, as a human, don't need to do that, do you?"

Lin Yu asked, puzzled, "What do you mean by paying tribute to our ancestors?"

The crow exclaimed in surprise, "You don't know? Well, then I'll tell you—a long time ago, there was a crow that was thirsty, and it found a narrow-necked bottle filled with water..."

Lin Yu understood after hearing just the beginning.

"Where's the story of 'The Crow and the Pitcher'?"

The crow laughed: "Caw caw, that's exactly right!"

Lin Yu stared at the crow: "Are you playing me?"

The crow repeated, "Caw caw, that's exactly right!"

Then the crow added, "But at least this drink is indeed delicious."

Lin Yu looked at the coffee-colored liquid in the cup, which emitted a sweet aroma. It looked slightly thick, but not viscous.

He swirled the glass, but finally decided to bring it to his lips and take a sip.

after all……

Lin Yu knew that if the crow really wanted to harm him, it wouldn't need to resort to methods like tampering with the drink.

This drink, which looks like espresso or hot cocoa, has a texture that Lin Yu can clearly feel when he tastes it...

This is neither espresso nor hot cocoa.

The overly sweet taste and creamy, silky texture, along with a unique aroma, brought Lin Yu to his senses.

"Coconut flavored...is this a coconut juice drink?"

He never expected that this brownish-colored thing would taste like coconut—as perplexing as red mint or orange strawberry.

Moreover, Lin Yu quickly realized that it wasn't just the color and taste that were out of place, but also the temperature and the essence of the product.

Because the drink cup had been heated, Lin Yu didn't immediately realize its true nature.

But he quickly realized...

This drink is...

Melted coconut-flavored ice cream?

Lin Yu looked at the crow in astonishment.

He was surprised partly because the drink was indeed somewhat unexpected...

On the other hand, Lin Yu truly felt that his soul had undergone some kind of change.

He gained some kind of "power" from the drink in the cup.

More accurately...

It was linked to some kind of "high-level" power.

The god of truth, illusion, and change raises his glass: "I've said it before, coconut-flavored ice cream tastes like 'deception'."
