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

Chapter 578: Eternal Love in the Nightless Sky

As Lin Yu finished speaking, Huo Xing from Buyetian was surprised and said, "What did you say? The employer of this commission is my mother?"

She looked at Lin Yu: "Are you kidding?"

Lin Yu shook his head and said nothing.

Someone answered the question for her.

"Woohoo... Of course he wasn't kidding, my good-for-nothing daughter."

The voice came from beside the two of them. At some point, the head of the Buyetian family had appeared between Buyetian Huoxing and Lin Yu.

With a petite body and long hair like a waterfall, the head of the Buyetian family sat cross-legged on a pile of books piled up like a small mountain, with his hands gently placed on the shoulders of the two men.

"Oh, mother, why did you come out in person?"

Buyetian Huoxing immediately screamed, then immediately hugged her mother's arms: "You really scared me!"

The Buyetian Patriarch looked at Buyetian Huoxing and said with pursed lips, "Let go. I don't intend to hold you responsible... I've always known your character. Although what you did tonight was beyond my expectations, in my opinion, it wasn't out of the ordinary."

After hearing what the Buyetian family head said, Buyetian Huoxing let go of his hand, but felt a little disappointed.

"Oh, Mother, this is not 'out of line' in your opinion?"

"As a royal noble, you are indeed a heretic, but if you want to exceed my expectations, this alone is far from enough."

The head of Buyetian family said this, then looked at Lin Yu.

"As for you... you've surprised me. I thought that even if you weren't Forboluo, you would at least be grateful for the hospitality shown by the Nevernight Fire Music."

Lin Yu curled his lips: "Your Excellency, please don't make me sound like a cold-blooded guy. I was just forced by the situation."

"After all... I'm not sure what your attitude towards me is. If we talk about cold-bloodedness, you are truly as cold-blooded as a machine."

"I doubt whether you have ever thought about paying the fee after issuing this commission."

The Buyetian Patriarch chuckled softly, "You already know it was me who issued the commission. Would I be so greedy as to embezzle your small fortune?"

"Is that a lot of money for me, the Patriarch of the Buyetian Family?"

Lin Yu said seriously: "What if you just want to save this little bit?"

"Are you kidding me?"

The head of the Buyetian family narrowed his eyes and said.

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, I was joking just now... But I am indeed worried about whether you will pay the reward normally - I am afraid that you will want to silence me."

The Buyetian Patriarch chuckled and said, "Indeed, even if Alan chooses not to pursue the matter, for me, it would be most reassuring if everyone involved in this matter were to die."

"But don't worry... I won't really do that - let Huo Le go."

As the Buyetian Patriarch spoke, Buyetian Huoxing immediately spoke.

"Floyd, you made her swear on the God of Truth."

The Buyetian Patriarch looked at Buyetian Huoxing helplessly: "Huoxing, are you my daughter or this guy's daughter?"

Buyetian Huoxing wasn't afraid at all, but simply asked, "Is this shocking to you, mother?"

The head of the Buyetian family sighed and ignored Buyetian Huoxing.

"So, you're not suitable to be the heir... With your personality, it's impossible for you to care about things like family interests and the stability of the Never-Sleeping City."

She looked at Lin Yu and asked, "Do you want me to swear?"

"If you can, please send one."

Lin Yu nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, the head of the Buye Tian family did not refuse and simply raised his finger to the sky.

"In the name of the Eternal Mercy of the Nevernight Sky, and to the God of Truth that I believe in, I swear that from now on, I will absolutely not harm anyone involved in this commission in any way because of the commission I issued, C-77."

"I swear this oath in my heart, in the name of God, and I will never disobey in the slightest."

As the head of the Buyetian family spoke, several lines of mysterious symbols appeared and disappeared behind his head, like the "Received" reply from the God of Truth.

After hearing this, Lin Yu nodded and gently put down the Nevernight Fire Music.

"It's time to do this, sir," he said calmly, putting away the bone blade, "I'll feel more at ease talking to you this way!"

"I'm actually very curious why you chose to issue this commission at this critical juncture."

Although Lin Yu knew that the head of Buye Tian family was unhappy with Art and Allan, this was what she said herself, but... from the perspective of interests, there was absolutely no need for the head of Buye Tian family to kill Art.

Lin Yu also agreed with the situation analyzed by the head of Buye Tian family at that time - that's why he was willing to help the head of Buye Tian family kill more than 30 people.

Because at that time, Lin Yu really thought that the head of Buye Tian family was exchanging interests with him.

The Buyetian Patriarch held his chin with one hand and said, "Can't you guess my motive? Then how did you guess that I was the one who issued this commission?"

Lin Yu shrugged. "You were too active in your actual performance tonight. Although we had discussed activating the alchemy array beforehand, judging from your actual performance... you were the one who truly applied the techniques of 'The ABC Murder Case'."

Those thirty-plus people might indeed be the ones that the head of the Buye Tian family wanted to kill, but he was not in a position to do it himself, so he let them live.

However, the task they gave to Lin Yu as the head of the Buyetian family was essentially to cover up... that she was the issuer of the C-77 commission.

"When I killed them first, I actually began to doubt your true intentions," Lin Yu whispered. "And even after I did all this, you still diligently maintained the alchemy array and didn't even expel the fire apricot's phlogiston. This is enough to prove... that you actually wanted Art Mercury to die."

"And most importantly, Alan Mercury arrived too quickly—you had no intention of stopping him and directly let the head of the Mercury family into the hall of the Buyetian family. This behavior is truly abnormal."

"Doesn't this just prove that I actually want Alan to stop you?" The Buyetian Patriarch raised an eyebrow and said, "If I really wanted you to kill Art, you should have held him back as long as possible, right?"

"That's based on the assumption that you're a fool and can't see my general plan at the time," Lin Yu sighed. "Although Alan's arrival is indeed a headache for me, if he's already arrived at the Buyetian family, from your perspective... rather than forcibly detaining him, it would be better to let him in and let me get rid of him once and for all."

"But you definitely guessed at the time that my plan was to disrupt the ceremony, so... you certainly did it on purpose."

"Of course, the above are all my guesses. The truly decisive evidence comes from your introduction of Alan Mercury."

"At that moment, I could sense a subtle shift in the 'ritual' you bestowed upon me," Lin Yu raised his activated right hand. "That was your mistake—because you didn't understand the sudden surge in my spiritual power. During your past testing and observation of me, you might have assumed I couldn't sense your hands and feet, and so you became reckless."

"But... I did feel this change at the time. The moment Alan attacked me, you were ready to use the power left in your right hand to save my life."
