Compared to the previous methods of releasing water and jumping off buildings, Lin Yu's entry condition for this game was much simpler.

He just needed to put a plastic bag over his head and tie it off.

And this time... Lin Yu chose the identity of 'May May'.

After all, he had just obtained the 'Order' identity certificate, so he might as well use it.

Moreover, that badge had considerable credibility to some extent.

For ordinary 'Players', Lin Yu could use this thing to better utilize his 'Fraudster' abilities.

"Whoosh—"

Squeezing the air out of the bag, Lin Yu sat in the room's chair, feeling his consciousness gradually fade.

The clock hand rotated, about to reach 12 o'clock.

And blood-red text finally appeared before Lin Yu's eyes.

[Entering Game Soon—]

[Game Name: Escape from the Madhouse]

[Clear Condition: Leave the "Island"]

[Number of Players in This Game: 3]

"A madhouse... but why suffocation?"

"What does the clear condition mean?"

"But... there are quite few players this time."

The familiar feeling of weightlessness appeared, then...

Everything suddenly went pitch black!

The suffocating feeling from the plastic bag became even more intense, and the thing covering his head seemed heavier and sturdier.

Obviously, he had now entered the game!

But...

What's going on?!

What did this dungeon put on my head right from the start?

Lin Yu instinctively reached to remove the hood from his head, but unexpectedly discovered...

"Why are my hands restrained too?"

His hands were firmly tied and pinned behind his back.

Not only that, after careful assessment, he found his entire body seemed tightly secured, with extremely limited mobility.

But fortunately, even in this situation, it wasn't a complete dead end for Lin Yu.

"Hannah... release me."

"Ribbit! Received!"

As Lin Yu summoned her, he felt Hannah land on his shoulder.

But before Hannah could execute the command, Lin Yu suddenly stopped the little octopus.

"Wait, Hannah."

"Ribbit, what is it, Director?"

"First maintain stealth, observe if there are any unfriendly beings around, then tell me what environment I'm currently in."

Lin Yu said calmly.

Although he was having some breathing difficulty now, he wasn't completely suffocating yet.

The thing covering his face was stretched tight, but still allowed some air exchange.

Based on the current situation... Lin Yu estimated it would take at least an hour before he reached oxygen-deprived unconsciousness.

And there was even more time between oxygen-deprived unconsciousness and irreversible brain damage and death.

So...

After calming down to think, Lin Yu felt he didn't need to rush to escape.

Ordinary new players might be frightened by starting in such danger with restricted movement, desperately trying to break free.

But Lin Yu's mental fortitude and experience with various scenarios were simply too extensive.

So he felt that rather than escaping immediately, preventing potential traps was more important.

And just as Lin Yu expected, Hannah's feedback came quickly.

"Ribbit, Director, you appear to be in an isolation room."

"You're tied to a chair, wearing a full-body restraint suit. The room walls and floor are padded, and the lighting is very dim."

"And... there's a being wearing a white coat with its back to you, probably a 'Doctor'."

"Ribbit, that doctor is about three meters tall with shoulder width exceeding one hundred fifty centimeters. Probably not human... He seems to be preparing injection medication right now."

Hearing Hannah's feedback, Lin Yu exhaled.

"A three-meter-tall doctor with 1.5-meter shoulder width? That really doesn't seem human."

"But, how would you estimate his strength?"

Large size is a relatively intuitive indicator of strength, but in the 'Death Game', strength isn't only about size.

And Hannah had learned from Ka since childhood, with exceptionally sharp judgment.

In this situation where he couldn't see, Lin Yu naturally trusted Hannah's assessment.

Hannah's voice quickly sounded: "Ribbit, Director... in my opinion, this guy probably only has combat and physical strength. In close combat, he might be slightly stronger than you."

"Slightly stronger than me?"

Lin Yu had a plan in mind.

He immediately chose to summon his other "pet" besides [Tiny Chef Apprentice]—[Truth Corporation Security Department Delta Team Leader].

"Take him down, Stiller."

Lin Yu released Stiller from his [item space].

"Thud!"

The sound of tactical boots stepping on padded flooring was muffled and calm.

"Oh... so this is what you call a [dungeon], right?"

"But Director, you need me to handle just this big dumb oaf?"

Stiller's voice carried a mix of coldness and slight arrogance.

Before Lin Yu could respond, he heard a low, hoarse roar from the other side.

"Grah—Grah!"

Like intimidation and threat, accompanied by clattering metal impact sounds.

Sounded like that three-meter giant was roaring while grabbing something from a metal tray.

"Ignorant fool!"

Lin Yu felt Stiller leap over him, followed by a dull collision sound in the air.

"Thump!"

Stiller's cold laugh came again.

"Turns out it's not even ignorance, just an empty shell?"

"How pitiful!"

Then...

Lin Yu heard two sounds: "Squelch" and "Crack."

Probably Stiller inflicting serious damage on that three-meter-tall thing.

Next came the sound of Stiller landing again, boots stepping on the floor.

"This level of opponent is indeed good for warming up."

Stiller said, then walked over to Lin Yu.

"Miss Hannah, step aside—let me untie the Director."

He said, then Lin Yu felt his neck loosen.

Then...

"Whoosh!"

Fresh air and a cool, relaxed feeling washed over him, along with not-too-bright, perfectly appropriate lighting.

"Excellent, Stiller."

He turned his head to look at the blue-black giant lying on the floor with a rusted, stained surgical knife stuck in him, feeling somewhat emotional.

Although Stiller with his home field equipment couldn't previously defeat Wang Yuyang and his wife, Lin Yu had to admit...

The Truth Corporation Security Department Delta Team Leader, President Paris's trusted subordinate, was definitely no ordinary person.

His previous loss was purely because that couple was too strong, even rare among the player population.

Stiller also snorted lightly, continuing to take out the dagger from his waist and cutting through the restraint straps on Lin Yu one by one.

"That guy had strength but no intelligence. Even if you broke free yourself, killing him probably wouldn't be difficult."

"But... this guy's condition feels quite familiar, seems like some company file recorded this phenomenon."

"I only remember the name—seems to be called 'Soul Dissolution into Body'."
