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

Chapter 1045 Why use your brain when you can use numbers?

The black liquid was icy cold and flowed like a cold current from the abyss, and it seemed to contain endless resentment.

“Director, director, director—it seems like we’re stuck in here!”

Li Nian turned around and tried to open the door, but found it was locked. She stammered as she took out her exorcism suit again and waved it around wildly.

This time even Lin Yu reacted.

"I say... you don't know how to use these things, do you?"

Li Nian nodded: "Of course - I am a 'Master Thief', of course I stole these - I can only steal 'props', I can't steal other people's knowledge and skills!"

"This cross and mahogany sword are only good enough to scare the little devil. I don't know how to use the talisman and holy water, or what use they are."

Lin Yu sighed: "Then just use it as an ordinary weapon. When you see a ghost, just throw the holy water and talisman at it, and then use the peach wood sword and cross to hit it."

"That's the problem. I can't see anything through my sunglasses—this is too weird. This means... this ghost's ability is probably beyond the scope of my sunglasses that can see spirits!"

As Li Nian was speaking, Lin Yu also began to recall.

The sunglasses she always wears are not ordinary ones, but [Hell Detective's Sunglasses] - theoretically, this thing can see all spirits and energy bodies.

but……

Li Nian said that he couldn't see any spirits at the moment - even though the windows were covered with handprints and the level of the black liquid was gradually rising.

Lin Yu also didn't think that Li Nian was lying to him, because no matter which world the "ghosts" and "vengeful souls" were from, the life, spirit and soul aura of these spirits in the form of spirits were often very obvious - after all, they had no physical body, and the fluctuations of mental power and soul were as frequent as breathing and heartbeat.

However, Lin Yu also did not sense any suspicious mental fluctuations nearby.

"Crash-"

The water level has already covered his ankles and risen to his calves. Because the water temperature is too low and there is some kind of "resentment" hidden in it, Lin Yu has gradually begun to lose the feeling of his feet.

He struggled to move his gradually losing sensation feet and came to the front of the cockpit.

Li Nian saw Lin Yu's actions and asked, "What are you going to do? You don't want to drive the boat, do you?"

"of course not!"

Lin Yu said as he kicked the console in front of him.

"boom!"

The console was not very sturdy and was dented by Lin Yu's kick.

Lin Yu grabbed the gap caused by the depression with his hands and pulled the table top of the console off.

Three or four wires connected to the console table were torn off, and sparks crackled.

Li Nian was so frightened that he quickly jumped onto a chair and yelled, "Are you crazy? Water can conduct electricity!"

The electric wire fell into the water, but Lin Yu was completely fine.

Li Nian was very surprised: "What's going on? Is this water in a special form and not conductive?"

"No~"

Lin Yu spoke with a trembling voice: "I'm just holding on."

Li Nian took a closer look and found that Lin Yu's hands were shaking.

She said helplessly: "Then why did you tear it down?!"

Lin Yu's answer was simple: "Because the water comes from below."

As he spoke, he reached into the water against the current, inserted the dagger into the welding joint exposed under the countertop, and pried it open with force.

"Crack!"

A corner of the metal plate floor lifted up, and Lin Yu took a deep breath.

"Hold on tight, thief!"

As he spoke, he suddenly burst out with tremendous strength. The terrifying wrist strength made Lin Yu like a human jack, and he lifted up the entire thick metal plate connected by rivets and welds, revealing a waterproof layer under the cockpit!

After Lin Yu opened it, he and Li Nian quickly found three outlets from which black water gushed out like "springs"!

In the center of the three "springs", there is a water ripple symbol emitting bright light.

Lin Yu took out the [Empty Bottle], and the light of the symbol quickly dimmed.

"Wow——!"

The water level stopped rising and no more water gushed out of the springs.

Lin Yu exhaled: "As expected, since there are no monsters here, there must be a 'pre-set' mechanism or a magic circle."

He walked towards the front door, and the door lock, which had been automatically locked, opened again.

Lin Yu pulled the door open with force, and with a splash, black liquid rushed into the corridor, soaking half of the carpet in the corridor.

"Let's go!"

Lin Yu stepped on the wet carpet, Li Nian jumped down, then looked back to the side and suddenly found a shiny key stuck in the crack of the floor.

"Hey, what's this key?"

Lin Yu looked at the key given by Li Nian, thought for a moment, and then looked at the small door next to it.

"The emergency exit door—it should be for us to search for the key and open the door to escape."

Lin Yu said, and Li Nian nodded: "I see... It seems that we have passed the test using an alternative method, not the officially recommended method."

Li Nian said jokingly.

However, Lin Yu did not respond to this joke.

"Come on, let's search somewhere else."

There really is nothing in this cockpit, just a "trap".

The two continued to collect other suites. This little episode did not dampen Li Nian's enthusiasm for making money - during this period, Li Nian found some top materials from different worlds.

Soon, they searched all twelve rooms and arrived at the stern.

"Wow, what a bountiful harvest!" Li Nian carried his shoes and socks, stepping barefoot on the soft carpet. The hem of his pants was almost dry. "Where should we search next? I saw some luxury stores on the next floor..."

Li Nian said as the two of them stood at the stern of the top deck.

Lin Yu looked at the mural hanging on the stern and shook his head.

"Let's not go to the next floor yet. We missed a spot on this floor."

"Eh? Where?"

Li Nian asked with some confusion.

Lin Yu knocked on the wall at the stern, making a "dong dong" sound.

"Here—you didn't seem to notice when you were outside, but the main cabin of this ship is symmetrical front to back. There are observation decks on the first three floors, and there are protruding parts on the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors."

"That pointed part on the top bow is the cockpit... but what about the stern? It can't be solid, right?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian looked at the wall.

"You mean, there's a secret room behind this thing?"

She reached out to take down the mural to find the mechanism of the secret door, but Lin Yu stopped her.

"Don't bother, just stand back."

He clenched his fist and punched the wall.

"boom!"

The wall, which was not solid, was dented again in an instant. Lin Yu punched the same spot several times in a row, and soon he created a hole in it.

Li Nian was already used to seeing Lin Yu relying on numerical values ​​to crack the mechanism again.

But she still couldn't help but complain.

"It always feels like the way you saw through traps, countered tactics, and solved puzzles in [Fatal Questions]... is so last century."
