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

Chapter 1374 Bloody Feud

Lin Yu had already come to believe most of what Jian Cunyi had said.

However, doubts still lingered in his mind—not that he suspected Jian Cunyi would lie to him, but rather that he suspected…

What if Jiancunyi makes a mistake?

Just like the reason the other party stated at the end that the 'fortune teller' wouldn't kill him.

Because the fragment of fate is within him, and after he kills himself, this thing is very likely to come after him.

Therefore, in order to prevent obtaining the Fragment of Fate at the wrong time, the "fortune teller" will try to avoid obtaining the "Fragment of Fate" before a certain specific time.

Lin Yu himself was certain of this—because on Mist Island, although the "diviner" came to seize the "life essence of the Mist Island Lord," a "fragment of fate" like Zhu Qiansi, who had already come to life and gained self-awareness, had also infiltrated the island.

It's that furry guy who gave himself three "prophetic poems".

However, the fortune teller, after gaining control of that living "fragment of fate," chose to simply throw it away instead of keeping it.

This also reflects...

The fortune teller does indeed want to reshape the power of "fate," but the process of collecting "fragments of fate" should indeed be subject to certain time and place limitations, as Jian Cunyi said.

only……

"What if the moment he gets this piece of land from me is the moment we take the initiative to go to Prison Mountain?"

Lin Yu asked in a low voice.

Jian Cunyi seemed to have anticipated Lin Yu's question, and he shook his head slightly.

"You can rest assured about that. Although you have obtained the 'Fragment of Fate,' you obviously do not understand the power of 'Fate.'"

“My research on ‘destiny’ is no less than that of the ‘diviner’ guy, so I know very well that only those who have mastered their own ‘fragment of destiny’ are qualified to participate in ‘reforging the power of destiny’.”

"And apart from the 'fragment of fate' that I obtained at the beginning because of 'destiny', there is only one best time to obtain the remaining 'fragments of fate'."

“Only when that time comes will all the holders of the ‘Fragments of Fate’ know… However, as I said, because both the ‘Diviner’ and I have a deep understanding of ‘fate,’ we have both received certain ‘revelation’.”

"The opportunity to acquire it must be in the world where the gods reside, and it is entangled with another 'authority' that has not yet taken shape."

“Clearly, the Prison Mountain Realm does not meet the requirements at all,” Jian Cunyi said with certainty. “I believe in the revelation brought by ‘fate’—therefore, after the ‘divine man’ knows that you have the ‘fragment of fate’, he will certainly not kill you.”

Listening to Jian Cunyi's words, Lin Yu knew that the other party had not deceived him and truly believed what he had just said.

but……

He still harbored the same doubts he had at the beginning.

What if you're wrong?

Lin Yu asked again.

Jian Cunyi stared at Lin Yu: "I can't be wrong, 'Director'... However, if the 'Diviner' really is there and intends to kill you, I will protect you at any cost."

Even if you don't believe in my character, you should believe in my dislike and disgust for him.

“After all, if he wants to kill you… it means your death is ‘his goal,’ so of course I will do everything I can to stop him.”

The feng shui master stated earnestly.

After hearing the other party's words, Lin Yu pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly.

"I'm willing to believe what you're saying..."

He was already half convinced, and it was definitely worth taking the gamble.

After all, Lin Yu realized that both the "diviner" and the "feng shui master" were experts who had an extremely deep understanding of the power of "fate".

The reason why the "Feng Shui Master" Jian Cunyi approached him, hoping to cooperate with him to ambush the "Diviner" in the Prison Mountain Realm in a few days, was because he had the "Fragment of Destiny" in his possession.

In a few days, the confrontation between the "diviner" and the "feng shui master" will inevitably involve the authority of "fate" and will likely involve their different uses of the "fragments of fate".

So, for Lin Yu...

This is a great opportunity to learn how the power of "destiny" works!

Although Zhu Qiansi was once the "chosen one" of the God of Destiny, she was clearly subject to many restrictions as a result. In order to escape the Prison Mountain Realm, she also made many separations from her past self. Therefore, although her use of "causal threads" was superb, she did not give Lin Yu many opportunities to glimpse "destiny," let alone explain it in detail.

Therefore, Lin Yu really has no idea how to use the other [Fragment of Fate] he currently possesses!

Although there was also a reason why he himself didn't really want to use it, after all, Lin Yu didn't want to see that vessel that carried some longing and memories, and he couldn't accept that he would destroy it during the experimentation of the ability.

However, Lin Yu knew very well...

From a rational perspective, whether this thing was deliberately left to him by Lin Zhao or accidentally ended up in his hands, the power of "destiny" was shattered by Lin Zhao himself back then. Understanding how "destiny" works will also greatly help him understand Lin Zhao back then.

Therefore, Lin Yu naturally hoped to agree to Jian Cunyi's request.

only……

Lin Yu was wondering if he could really free himself up.

To be honest, on the day the 'Raiders' launched their all-out offensive, which was also the final voting day for the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' election, Lin Yu was already feeling extremely troubled because he might need to make brief appearances or even participate in various parties under his different identities.

If the "director" were to take on another secret mission—one involving going to the Prison Mountain Realm with the "Feng Shui Master" Jian Cunyi—which would most likely be kept secret from most of the "Order" members...

Lin Yu felt that his time would probably become even more scarce, and he would truly be "too busy to be in two places at once".

of course……

“If Li Hua doesn’t mind me working with the ‘Feng Shui Master,’ it could be a ‘reasonable excuse’ for me to disappear as the ‘director’—although I still need to hide from ‘Order,’ this time Li Hua can help me hide from the other members of ‘Order.’”

"Afterwards, Li Hua will probably find it difficult to personally reconcile my schedule with Jian Cunyi. As a result, if I leave early and return late, taking advantage of the chaos, it may actually be possible to buy time for the two identities of 'Yayu' and 'Schreber' to operate."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then made up his mind.

Although there are risks, and Jian Cunyi needs to be verified by Lin Yu to see if he can be trusted, Lin Yu also needs to conduct more investigations into the plan he proposed and assess the risks himself, and be wary of the "fortune teller's" schemes.

However, it is indeed possible to agree to this now.

“Okay, just contact me when the time comes,” Lin Yu said to Jian Cunyi. “However, if the situation changes, I will not continue to cooperate with you.”

"Moreover... I'm only at the 'second tier' right now, so I'll probably have to teach you how to infiltrate the Prison Mountain Realm."

Upon hearing this, Jian Cunyi readily agreed: "You can rest assured. Although my invitation to you was somewhat impromptu at first, I did my homework and made preparations beforehand. It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision."

“I will never be careless or hasty in dealing with ‘fortune tellers’.”

After reading Jian Cunyi's words, Lin Yu pondered for a moment and then whispered, "Okay, but I still have a question... but it's a question of curiosity."

You don't have to answer.

As Lin Yu spoke, Jian Cunyi nodded slightly, standing where the thousands of threads converged, still maintaining his calm and composed demeanor.

"I can roughly guess what you're going to ask, so... go ahead and ask."

Having received permission, Lin Yu asked directly, "How exactly did you and the 'fortune teller' come to blows, making you so determined to take revenge on him?"

Feng Shui Master Jian Cunyi spoke calmly and with an unchanging expression: "It's more like an enmity than a grudge."

"An irreconcilable feud, a matter of life and death."

"That bastard committed a heinous crime in the Prison Mountain Realm in order to improve his strength and create his own [tools] - 147 people from the White Crane Martial Arts School, 45 people from the Six Qin Martial Arts School, and 19 people from the Primordial Dao Sect were all killed by his own hands."

“There are countless other acts of killing as well.”

"Of course, killing among 'players' in various realms is not uncommon. The 'Death Game' looms over us, and sometimes we have no choice but to get our hands dirty... If he were just killing people, I would still be his enemy, but I wouldn't target him in every way."

"But those he killed were all kind and righteous people who had been on good terms with him... They were being deceived by him before he killed them..."

"I simply...cannot stand such behavior."

At this point, Jian Cunyi paused for a moment and said softly.

"Of course, in the end, I am no exception. The reason I care so much is that among those people, there are people I know and am close to, and people who have been kind to me."

"So, if I have the chance, I will kill him—but he's too hard to kill right now, so I can only try my best to thwart all his plans and expectations."

Feng Shui Master Jian Cunyi spoke in a light and casual tone, as if it were nothing serious.

But Lin Yu could tell that he took these things very seriously.

Lin Yu was confident that if Jian Cunyi were to give him the names of the deceased he had just mentioned, he would be able to recall most of them.

Judging from the tone of "Comedian" when Lin Yu inquired about information in the "Free Alliance," "Comedian" probably only thought that the relationship between Jian Cunyi and "Diviner" was just "friction" and some insignificant "grudges and rifts" that arose in the [Instance].

Or rather, perhaps no one expected this...

The feud between the "fortune teller" and the "feng shui master" is a blood feud built on the lives of hundreds of people.
