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

Chapter 1279: Alone Talk, Worried Huo Le

"Mother, were you just...testing me?"

Looking at Buyetian Yonglian who suddenly relaxed, Buyetian Huole said with some disbelief.

Buyetian Yonglian raised her hand, and "Dongdong Suspension Bridge Falls" flew back into her hand.

She stretched her back lazily and said, "My dear daughter, this is more of a test than a temptation."

"After all... the uncontrollable and dangerous nature of 'fear' is real. In my opinion, while it's fine to restart this project, it's best if it never sees the light of day."

"There is nothing in Nevernight City or this world that can threaten the existence of the Nevernight family, but...some beings outside this world can do it."

"And your plan is precisely to proactively contact those dangerous beings from beyond this world. Indeed, if this lie succeeds, I'm afraid the Buyetian family will be even more powerful, and within fifty years, the other four families will no longer be able to compete with the Buyetian family..."

"However, the risk of failure must be carefully considered."

“When making decisions, you can’t always think one step at a time.”

Buye Tian Yonglian kept muttering to himself, but it was obvious that these were all part of "educating his daughter" and "instructing on details".

Regarding the reboot of Project Fear…

She seemed to have no objection.

After realizing this, Buyetian Huo Le breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had achieved a certain stage goal.

She glanced at Lin Yu behind her with joy, nodded slightly to this sensible new subordinate who had remained silent, and then looked at her mother.

"Mother, please rest assured. I will definitely minimize the risks and make thorough arrangements in every aspect."

Buyetian Yonglian nodded.

"Go ahead and don't disturb me from killing time reading some books."

She said this teasingly, as if she was still a little concerned about the criticism that Buyetian Huo Le had just made.

Huo Le pretended not to understand what his mother meant.

"Then, mother, I will leave first."

She stood up and saluted, then prepared to take Lin Yu and leave.

"Crash."

The sound of turning pages was heard, but Buye Tian Yong Lian called her again the moment Buye Tian Huo Le turned around.

"Wait a moment."

Huo Le of the Nevernight Sky stopped.

"Mother, do you have any other instructions?"

Buyetian Yonglian was reading a book while speaking leisurely, "I'm just asking you to leave. This guy you brought with you... needs to stay for a while."

"I want to ask him a few questions alone."

As Buye Tian Yong Lian said this, Buye Tian Huole was stunned.

"Why is that, Mother?"

She said a little nervously.

Buyetian Yonglian laughed: "Don't worry, my dear daughter, it's just that this guy has interesting ideas and I want to ask him some questions - don't worry, I have no ill intentions."

"You plan to rely on him to carry out your plan, right? Then I can help you test this guy's quality!"

Huo Le stood still, thought for a moment, and then said, "Mother, there's no need to question him alone. If you want to test his skills for me, wouldn't it be better if I just observe from the side?"

"Heh, this guy looks sharp. I'm afraid a few glances from you here could be of great use to him. Plus, if it really comes to a crucial issue, you won't be able to resist interrupting," Buye Tian Yonglian waved his hand. "Just leave first. If I intend to harm him, do I need to send you away specifically?"

Huo Le still didn't give in: "But, Mother, I think it would be better if I were there..."

"Alright, I'm really pleased that you dared to contradict me and make your own judgment. Although you might have been acting this way deliberately at the behest of your advisors, I'm really happy to see that," Buye Tian Yonglian suddenly pointed out, then changed the subject, "But don't think I'm happy to see you rebel against everything—you still have to know when to stop, my dear daughter."

"I don't mean to discuss this with you. This is an order."

Hearing his thoughts revealed by his mother, Buye Tianhuo Le was surprised and spoke subconsciously.

"Mother, I didn't..."

However, Buye Tian Yonglian did not give her a chance to explain.

As soon as Buyetian Huo Le opened his mouth, Buyetian Yonglian raised his hand - then, Buyetian Huo Le felt an invisible soft push that instantly pushed him out of the library door, and then the wooden door in front of him slammed shut, locking him outside.

Huo Le of Buyetian came back to his senses and reacted.

"Mother... actually threw me out?"

"And Mother saw that I was arguing because someone told me first. I can't just go along with Mother in everything... She knew that my 'rebellion' was partly for the sake of rebellion!"

Huo Le of Buyetian realized this, and while he was surprised, he also felt that it was all very reasonable - after all, that was his mother.

However, standing outside the door and facing the tightly closed door, Huo Le of Buyetian became worried.

"Then my mother spoke to Arthur alone. Could it be that she realized that it was Arthur who gave me this idea?"

"Or maybe... Arthur knows too much about the truth behind the Fear Project, so Mother wants to find out why he knows so many secrets? Given Mother's control, this is indeed possible..."

"In any case, Mother probably wouldn't kill Arthur outright... I hope Arthur truly understands Mother well enough and doesn't insult her during this conversation..."

The relaxed mood that the fear project had been approved was swept away, and Huo Le was thinking anxiously.

With Arthur's intelligence and his analysis of his mother, coupled with the fact that he had been observing the communication between him and his mother, Buyetian Huo Le felt that there was a 99% chance that Arthur would be able to respond normally to his mother's questions.

There was even some possibility that Arthur would please his mother.

My mother hates fools and likes smart people, but she also always hates those who are smart and show off their intelligence.

So... Huo Le in the Nightless City still couldn't help but worry. What if something bad happened to Arthur and he was beaten to death or thrown out by his mother, or was convicted and thrown directly into jail?

Just when Buye Tianhuole showed a conflicted expression, the door suddenly opened a crack, and Buye Yonglian's helpless voice was heard again.

"Ru, stop pacing at the door with a sullen face like a father in front of a delivery room. I told you, I won't do anything bad to him. Could it be that I'm actually going to eat him?"

"Don't let me throw you any further away... Just find a suitable place to stay. I promise to return him to you in a moment, okay?"
