Chapter 15: The Clever Use of Deception! Second Round Game—Church Afterglow Begins!

"So ruthless?" Su Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He had originally thought the warning was merely a Reminder and that no real punishment would follow.

That Dead Person also thought the same.

In his view, there must be an Organization behind it wanting to watch their performance in the game.

As a live broadcast performance.

They won't do anything to him.

But the result exceeded everyone's expectations.

Directly striking down, that unknown creature easily bent a fist‑thick iron pillar.

With the precedent of killing a chicken to warn the monkey, the prison fell silent instantly.

The sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

Not long after, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared at Su Yang's doorway.

Borrowing the faint Radiance emitted by the middle Screen, he Vision Perception the creature's face.

He saw its whole body covered in black hair, twin horns atop its head, standing nearly three meters tall, exuding a strange odor.

"A cow?" Su Yang's Pupil narrowed slightly.

To be precise, it was an upright cow.

The ends of its limbs were all cow hooves, its Muscle towering high, and between breaths its Nostril expelled two streams of vapor.

Su Yang's startled shout seemed to violate the silence rule, and the cow demon suddenly halted before the cage, slowly turning around.

At that moment, Su Yang saw those scarlet eyes flare even more intensely.

"Those who break the rules, die!" the cow demon uttered human words, its two hooves suddenly bracing the iron pillar.

"What?" Su Yang's breath caught, his whole body hair standing on end.

Even the Death Game wasn't as terrifying as this cow demon.

If it entered, Su Yang would have no way out!

Seeing it exert a sudden force, Su Yang thought quickly and whispered, "I didn't speak."

【Deception】 Innate Talent activation successful, 【Administrator】 action cancelled.

As expected, the cow demon's movement paused, it slowly turned and continued its patrol.

After it walked away, Su Yang let out a long sigh, breathing heavily, his back completely drenched.

Lin Yang, seeing this, hurriedly whispered, "What just happened? Why did it suddenly leave?"

"Probably its conscience woke up," Su Yang tossed out a random excuse.

"Do monsters have consciences?" Lin Yang couldn't fathom.

Su Yang's heart pounded; he suddenly realized his Innate Talent could be used not only in the game.

It also applied outside the game!

"If Innate Talent usage requires defining a scope, then all players inside st Prison are targets."

"When I spoke, more than half the people didn't hear, so when I said 'I didn't speak', they assumed it true."

"In that case, could it directly affect Rankings?"

Su Yang felt a stir in his mind, lowered his voice and said, "I am the First Place in st Prison."

Immediately he looked up at the Screen, but found no Transform at all.

"Can't it?" Su Yang pondered.

He saw this and a vague conjecture formed in his mind.

The First Place is an established fact, known to all players.

So a situation arises where a Lie is not believed.

"I have a pen."

Immediately, a pencil appeared in Su Yang's hand.

"I have a notebook."

The notebook materialized at once.

Su Yang instantly perked up, his eyes brightening as he said, "Bai Taohua is sleeping on my bed."

"..."

"Can't it?" Su Yang didn't lose heart, continuing, "Hebei Caihua is sleeping on my bed."

"..."

"Song Ben Yixiang is sleeping on my bed!"

"..."

Su Yang slapped his forehead, self‑mocking, "What on earth am I fantasizing?"

He suddenly recalled that everyone in the world had been kidnapped into it.

Correspondingly, those famous stars were surely also inside the prison.

Therefore, this itself does not constitute a so-called "Lie".

"I have a Tank."

"..."

"I have an aircraft."

"..."

"I can punch through the cage with one fist."

"..."

"I am Wolverine."

"......"

"Still can't do it?" Su Yang rubbed the corner of his brow.

In the end, after hundreds of attempts, he reached a conclusion.

"Lie" must first be based on some foundation or some rule.

For example, in the game he can directly alter the cards and change the Bullet's position.

These are all within the player's cognition.

Two people play Cheater's Tavern, with a total of ten cards, while the total effective cards are eleven, so it is reasonable.

The Bullet itself can be freely taken out, loaded, and changing its position is also reasonable.

In other words, as long as Su Yang speaks eloquently, constructing a brand‑new setting and cognition that players can accept.

Then the lie he tells can become true.

"So, when all players witness the ox demon's power, my next lie could become true," Su Yang thought to himself.

But there's a question: do other prisons also have an Administrator present?

"Su Yang, why are you muttering in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Lin Yang asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"It's fine, let's sleep." Su Yang covered himself with the blanket, lay on the soft Pillow, and closed his eyes.

The game that will start in three days, he began to look forward to it.

"......"

Three days is neither long nor short.

During that time Su Yang was planning for the upcoming Death Game and calculating how to maximize his Innate Talent advantage.

Relying on the brain to think makes it hard to reach a conclusion; the more one thinks, the more tangled it becomes.

Writing it down with a pen makes the thought process much clearer.

One day Lin Yang asked where Su Yang's notebook and pen came from, why he didn't have them.

Su Yang said they were sent in a life big gift package.

Then Lin Yang spent a whole half day searching, found nothing, and scolded the Administrator for differential treatment.

Finally, he stared in shock as Su Yang pulled a brand‑new notebook from the big gift package…

During the remaining time, besides eating, sleeping, defecating, and training, he just listened to Da Congming in the prison hurling insults through the air.

As the Death Game's start time drew nearer, the atmosphere in the prison grew tense.

It turned out those regulars who used to exchange insults had lowered their flags, no longer shouting loudly, silently recuperating.

It is worth mentioning that the woman in the cage to Su Yang's right never appeared; she was either lying on the bed or still lying on the bed.

Going to the bathroom and showering were both chosen for the middle of the night when the lights were out.

Quite mysterious.

He tried several times to strike up conversation and ask what game she was playing.

The responses he received were all silence.

Finally, with a bell toll, the familiar broadcast appeared again.

【Second Round Death Game Initiated】

【Game Name: Church Afterglow】

【Clearance Condition: Kill all players of different factions or complete the Identity Mission】

【Clearance Reward: 300 points】

【Number of Players in This Game: 16】

【Game Starts in Ten Minutes】

"Here it comes!" Su Yang tore up the ten pages of notes, crumpled them into a ball, threw them into the pit, and flushed them away with water.

"Good luck!" Lin Yang waved his hand.

"What game is this?" Su Yang probed.

"It seems to be called something like 'Ghostly Shadows', the name sounds mysterious, definitely related to ghosts," Lin Yang said calmly.

At this moment, the woman on the right spoke, "You're so stupid, you tell everyone everything."

She finally got up from the bed.

From Su Yang's viewpoint, only half of her profile could be seen.

Her exact looks are unknown, but from the outline she should be quite beautiful.

"What are you afraid of? He doesn't know my Innate Talent, right Su Yang?" Lin Yang lifted his chin.

"Sharing intelligence helps us understand this incident," Su Yang nodded.

"Exactly, if we're assigned to the same game, we can still look after each other," Lin Yang approved.

The woman snickered, "What if the Clearance Condition is to kill everyone?"

Su Yang and Lin Yang fell silent simultaneously, then exchanged a glance and in unison said, "We will never hold back."
