"It...it's out?"
Xiao Linlin was shocked and found it unbelievable.
What kind of insane thing is this? Can you even describe the mimicry simulation as "laggy"? Is this some kind of bug in a game?
After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Linlin pressed on with the important question: "What have you been doing these past few days? Have you found that guy? Have you been discovered?"
"Everything is going according to your plan, and it's going smoothly. I'm basically able to confirm his location and identity."
The mimic paused, then said in a low voice, "But there's an unexpected matter I need to report to you."
"What accident?"
"I ran into Chu Mo, and it seems he's also an undercover agent."
......
My name is Chu Mo, a fraudster who failed to get promoted.
I still remember that day when I was being punished by law and investigated for a massive fraud involving 2.7 billion yuan.
To be honest, I find it a little funny that those investors actually believed they could recoup their losses by taking the blame for a fraudster.
But I don't care, my family has already received the resettlement allowance I was entitled to.
If I eventually become a pawn in the power struggle between powerful figures, at least my life is worth 2.7 billion, so it's not a huge loss.
But perhaps God thought my life still had value, because that day I didn't go to prison, but went to heaven.
At least until the promotion matches begin, I feel like this place suits me quite well.
Matchmaking and talent, searching and escaping.
Oh, and there are those two silly, adorable teammates I encounter in every game; they're so easy to fool.
The game mechanics seem to like me a lot, even my escape talent is related to deception, but most of the time I don't need talent effects to deceive people.
I had a lot of fun and made quite a bit of money. I also have some goals to catch up with, such as the top names on the leaderboard in the same region. I'm really looking forward to the excitement if I can successfully deceive these "big shots" among the survivors.
I've met a few, but the ones who impressed me the most were the prophet and that guy named Su Lin.
Unexpectedly, they teamed up in one match, and I lost my first colored reward.
Yes, I'll remember him, this guy named Su Lin.
Is he number one on the list?
It's alright, I'll beat him, he'll definitely be fooled by me!
pity.
In the promotion match, I lost; I was killed by Su Lin.
I almost succeeded; I was just a hair's breadth away from becoming the number one player in the promotion match by defeating him.
But I understand that many times, what seems like "just a little bit off" can actually mean a huge difference.
I died without even seeing what he looked like.
I failed to get promoted, and those I fooled will probably laugh at me.
It doesn't matter, I'm just here to have fun. The more games I play, the more money I earn. Winning or losing isn't that important.
Um?
I entered a game world I had been to before; it was here that I first faced off against Su Lin.
Unfortunately, he wasn't there this time.
Wait, why is the system prompting me to enter a "Difficult Match"?
Is this some kind of higher-level ranking system? Praising my talent effect, I actually managed to get into a higher-level match.
It's a pity that Su Lin isn't here, otherwise I would definitely have been able to defeat him this time. After all, in this match, I played the role of the Evil Holy Son, who has an almost invincible older brother NPC!
I had a huge advantage; I used my brother's abilities to deceive more survivors who joined the game.
I will control everything between the two factions to create a massive deception that can almost deceive the world, and to monopolize all the profits from this match.
Even if Su Lin were here, he wouldn't be a match for me.
After all, my talent and my brother's abilities are such a perfect match, it's almost perfect... Hmm? Where did I get a brother?
wrong!
I've been scammed!
I'm playing the role of an only child, so how come I have an NPC brother?!
Damn it, he's a survivor, he's an ambitious guy who stayed in the game!
I know him. In the last match, he was a survivor on the evil side! He begged me to help him escape!
He doesn't know the effects of my talent; I can avoid being deceived. Cognitive traps are also a form of deception. He doesn't know I've become aware of my true nature. I should calm down; I can't make a fuss.
I need to escape; maybe I can pull another trick on him.
Oh no, absolutely not! This guy is too powerful; he has SSS-level talent! Just as difficult to deal with as that prophet!
I have to leave! I have to get out of here quickly, before he finds out. This guy's abilities could trap me here permanently!
What a pity, what a pity. If Su Lin were here, that would be wonderful.
If I were number one on the leaderboard, I should have enough fighting power to kill him... Sigh, what a pity, I'm about to suffer another defeat.
No, I can't just leave the game like this!
I can't swallow this insult!
It's one thing for the top-ranked player to beat me, and it's another for the prophet to scheme against me, but you, who don't even have a ranking! You're just a dead rat who hides in matches and schemes against others! How dare you beat me!
I'm going to stay. I'm going to look for an opportunity to continue my undercover work... Hmm? My intuition is telling me that someone is deceiving me!
Wait a minute, I've clearly escaped the cognitive trap, so why...? I've found it, someone is imitating me!
His simulation was so realistic, almost exactly like me. It's a pity he doesn't know that my talent led me to discover the truth.
etc!
This guy actually smells like Su Lin?
I see!
He's here! It's him! The strongest man has arrived!
Great, I've found a clue to break this deadlock!
My dear top-ranked friend, do you want to kill rats with me?
