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

Chapter 708: Fate's Favor

Lin Yu actually agreed with what he had said to the two Taoist priests and other players in the teahouse about their attitude towards "Zhu Qiansi".

As an ordinary contemporary young man with a non-extreme personality, Lin Yu did feel that giving Zhu Qiansi freedom would be unfair to those innocent people who died.

but……

Before that, Lin Yu was also a good actor who respected the character setting.

Obviously, the character image created in Lin Yu's performance and the biography he conceived in his mind, "Zhu Ming", who was constructed based on "Xia Yue", is not a character with very strong moral concepts.

Although one may have a soft spot for "family" and may feel compassion for vulnerable groups...

But Zhu Ming will never give up his own "interests" because of his compassion, "morality" and "justice".

Even among the players of the "Death Game", the will to survive and adaptability of "Xia Yue", the prototype of "Zhu Ming", are the strongest that Lin Yu has ever seen.

A million people died in Liuzhen. Zhu Ming might say it was a pity, but if it was possible to save them, Zhu Ming would also lend a helping hand.

She is even willing to avenge the dead.

But, but...

She was determined not to give up the opportunity to improve her strength to a higher level for the sake of these millions of people.

Looking at the stunned mountains, the angry snowy owls, and the solemn seagulls, and listening to Li Nian's unbridled laughter in his ears, Lin Yu felt that time was becoming slower and slower.

The time between meeting the [mission clearance] conditions and entering the [settlement space] seems to be being infinitely stretched.

This is naturally a bit abnormal.

But Lin Yu was very familiar with this feeling.

Time still passes normally, it’s just that one’s perception of time has changed.

It's just like……

It's like opening the [Those who are thrifty and virtuous are most suitable to drink this].

The source of this abnormal feeling is not difficult to guess.

He looked at Zhu Qiansi beside him. Although she was wearing a [collar] and was completely subordinate to him as a [summoned creature], Lin Yu knew very well...

"You must have been the one who did this... Since you can cut off one identity, you can naturally cut off the second one as well."

"It's like the layers of space here... the talisman array space, the Liuzhen ruins, and your true body are on the first layer; the Liuzhen environment, Zhu Qiansi, and Yunzhen's residual soul are on the second layer; the real Liuzhen and almost all of your causal threads are on the third layer; and now... there's actually a final layer, right?"

As Lin Yu was speaking, in the last second, the scenery in front of him changed again.

This time, he came to a cool cave.

The cave was filled with white spider silk, and clean human and animal bones were neatly arranged in the corners. A huge stone was polished flat, which seemed to be used as a bed, and a few cleaned oil lamps were dotted in the corners.

This seems to be a cave inhabited by a demon who loves cleanliness and tidiness.

Zhu Qiansi was sitting on the edge of the boulder.

"You're right," she said calmly, as cold as stone. "I have one last layer left, and it's for you."

Lin Yu was not surprised. He walked straight into the cave and sat next to Zhu Qiansi.

"So—Dear Miss Zhu Qiansi, you've been targeting me from the beginning, right?"

Lin Yu asked back softly.

Zhu Qiansi nodded and did not avoid the question.

"Yes, I do need your help to get free, but... I don't need you to take me out."

"I need to...take your place."

Lin Yu exhaled: "I knew it - it's just as I expected."

"How did you know?"

Zhu Qiansi looked at Lin Yu and asked.

Lin Yu curled his lips: "It's true that the so-called 'freedom' was a plan that came into being after seeing me - but since it is 'freedom' that you seek, how can you achieve it by 'recognizing the master'?"

"Since the magical power of the Karma Thread can merge your concepts with Liu Zhen's, it can naturally merge and replace you and me... This is not difficult to guess."

Lin Yu said calmly.

From the very beginning, he knew that Zhu Qiansi was lying to him.

Fortunately, Lin Yu didn't tell the truth.

Snowy Owl, Gao Shan, and Seagull were deceived by him, but that doesn’t mean Lin Yu chose Zhu Qiansi.

Helping Zhu Qiansi is something that "Zhu Ming" would do, but that is ultimately just a role played by Lin Yu.

What the real Lin Yu would do is pretend to choose Zhu Qiansi under the identity of "Zhu Ming", and then...

Will count.

Looking at Zhu Qiansi in front of him, Lin Yu smiled and said, "What you want is not only to leave the Prison Mountain Realm, but also my identity as a 'player' - an identity that allows me to move freely between the realms, right?"

Zhu Qiansi nodded: "Yes."

"Then you're really wrong. Although players seem to be able to go anywhere, they are actually the least free. Whether we come or go, we all come with a mission, and we have to come here once a week." Lin Yu looked at Zhu Qiansi, "I'm serious. I don't mean to lie to you."

"I know I know more about 'Outsiders' than you imagine," Zhu Qiansi looked at Lin Yu, her calm eyes dark and incomparable. "A lucky person like you who only has good luck can't imagine what I've been through... Just like you can't guess why I chose you among so many players."

Lin Yu listened to Zhu Qiansi's emotionless but extremely arrogant speech and let out a sigh.

"Huh... Really, what's so hard about this?" Lin Yu held his chin with one hand. "You chose me because you can only choose me."

"It's extremely difficult for your causal thread magical power to catch those players who flash by like meteors and merge with them while they're still alive. Unless that person already has a deep connection with you..."

"And your causal thread magical power is so incompatible with this Prison Mountain Realm. Add to that your eagerness to leave this world, and the rumors about 'threads' I've heard from high-ranking beings in other worlds, and it's easy for me to guess where our connection comes from." Lin Yu reached out and pinched Zhu Qiansi's chin. "You want to be my sister... but my real sister is much more talented than you."

"My only question now is... Zhu Qiansi, Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord, did you obtain a 'Fragment of Fate' by chance, or—are you a living 'Fragment of Fate' itself?"

Lin Yu said softly, Zhu Qiansi looked at Lin Yu and whispered.

"You...are really smart."

"It's just as you said, but I am not the Fragment of Destiny itself, nor did I obtain it by chance."

"I am the heir of the 'Fragment of Fate'—I was once the chosen one of the 'God of Fate, Rules, and Change.'"

"You... are the causal entanglement of the three individuals who caused my master's downfall."

A smile appeared on Zhu Qiansi's face - this person who seemed to have no emotions at all, or had lost all emotions, showed joy from the bottom of her heart for the first time.

"It is truly the grace of my Lord... fate has finally brought you before me!"

"Anyone who has a sincere faith in fate will eventually receive the favor of fate!"
