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

Chapter 689 Liu Zhen 3 years ago

As Taoist Xuan Yunzi spoke, his body suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared with a "puff".

Afterwards, several players suddenly saw several white spider silks appear in the green smoke and directly penetrate into their bodies.

Seagull was extremely horrified: "What?! Is this old Taoist trying to harm us? Is he also one of Spider's men? Is he acting like a double act?!"

"Calm down," Lin Yu waved his hand. "This should just be a means of sending me into the 'past'."

As Lin Yu spoke, Xuan Yunzi's voice also sounded from the air.

"Indeed, this is my most valuable technique, the top-level 'magic technique' included in the Taiqing Sect's Sutra Library - 'The Shifting of the Stars'."

Just by hearing the name, everyone can guess the general effect of this technique.

"The effect of this technique is to transfer the effects of any 'spells', 'divine powers', and 'talismans' within the Great Dao that I, the old Taoist, have received to other people. And using it on the 'Cause and Effect Thread' can just restrain the effects of these divine powers!"

"Because 'The Turning of the Stars' has come to you, this demon can't control your 'past'; it can only modify my past... But you are indeed connected to it through the 'thread of cause and effect'."

"It's equivalent to a one-way connection, isn't it?" Li Nian said, laughing. "Oh, old Taoist... you've really studied this spider for seventy or eighty years. You've really figured out the mechanism that gives it its abilities!"

Lin Yu also nodded slightly, looking at the broken body of Xie Chong in his arms, which was also implicated by the "thread of cause and effect", and couldn't help but speak with admiration.

"The demon will probably have to start immediately... because Xie Chong's remains have already been connected to the 'thread of cause and effect'."

Xuan Yunzi said proudly: "That's right, if that demon doesn't start again, these two pieces of Xie Chong's body... will be wasted forever!"

Fei Dao's expression changed slightly: "Then, Taoist Priest...do I need to go too?"

Before Xuan Yunzi could speak, everyone felt a mysterious feeling coming over them.

A slight trance, a sense of weightlessness, and consciousness began to involuntarily become scattered.

For several players... this felt quite familiar.

It's like the feeling when a "death game" is about to enter the "copy".

But it wasn't that intense or irresistible, nor did it have that feeling of falling that was about to cross into a whole new world.

It's like... a low-end version.

As for Lin Yu, he now has one more sample to compare.

"This is completely different from the feeling of returning to the past through the fraudulent 'rollback' in the first [Instance]..."

Lin Yu muttered to himself, and then, while still conscious, he did one last thing.

He took out the [Lens of Fear] from the [Prop Space] and used it on the Thousand-Eyed and Thousand-Threaded Demon Lord from a distance.

"Let me see what you are afraid of..."

Then, through the [Lens of Fear], Lin Yu saw three figures.

Two Taoist priests in green robes and a warrior in white robes.

"Hmm..." Lin Yu remembered these three figures.

Afterwards, after completing the memory, his consciousness became completely blurred.

It was like a bizarre dream...

When I open my eyes again...

Lin Yu found himself in a prosperous ancient town!

"Hey—move aside!"

A shout came from behind Lin Yu, and a hurried man pushed a cart full of bricks and stones past Lin Yu. The noisy sounds, the smell of the crowd and the sight were so real that everything announced that Lin Yu had entered another world at this moment -

"Liu Town from over three hundred years ago?"

Lin Yu looked around and murmured softly.

In front of him was a huge stone landmark with the words "Liuzhen" engraved on it.

The bluestone road behind the stone tablet is straight and spacious, and together with the buildings with white walls and black tiles, it divides the town into one square block of different sizes and one alley of different widths. Each block and alley is old and new, and the old and new buildings and walls are staggered and contrasted, as if the old, young and children are walking on the stone road at the same time, forming a sense of rhythm with time as the rhythm.

The feeling is completely different from that of an ordinary country town. At first glance, it looks like a large urban settlement with a long history, rich heritage and prosperity.

A streak of red glow in the sky shone on the town. One of the three days had already sunk into the mountains, and the other two days had also mostly disappeared.

It was dusk, and judging by the attire of the people on the street and the bustle, this was not the hottest summer day.

The lanterns on both sides of the street lit up one after another, illuminating the entire long street.

Unlike other places, Hell is much busier at night than during the day due to climatic reasons.

The vendors on the street were setting up their stalls. The old man selling candy figures stuck the last fresh candy figures on a bundle of straw and slowly pushed his cart into the alley.

The aroma of wine wafted from the porridge stalls and taverns in the alley. A few drunk men dressed in brocade clothes, looking like young masters, staggered out, humming discordant tunes. There were also men dressed in short clothes, full of energy, and walking hurriedly, as if they were laborers who had just finished a full meal and were ready to go to work.

Further away, the clerks of a silk shop were sitting at the doorway, looking forward to customers, and the pieces of brocade were glowing softly in the twilight; at the doorway of a money shop, several young men in smart clothes were unloading goods from a horse-drawn carriage, as if a skilled escort company had just delivered a batch of good goods here.

Everything is so real, everyone is so vivid, but...

Having truly "traveled back to the past" and possessing the [Ancient Notes], Lin Yu could clearly sense that although everything was absolutely real from a sensory perspective, and even the people inside seemed to be truly alive, but...

"Without souls or vitality, the rules-based world doesn't feel completely real or independent... After all, this is just a 'false past' constructed by the 'Cause and Effect Thread'," Lin Yu sighed. "The vitality of these people is only realized by the consciousness retained in the 'Cause and Effect Thread'..."

This place is not a real "return to the past", but more like a large dream and illusion.

"However, this large-scale illusion is probably not something the spider demon can easily manipulate and do as it pleases," Lin Yu began to infer based on his experience using the [Ancient Notes]. "Otherwise, it would have transformed into a god and directly found and killed me, the uninvited guest."

Then, it might not be impossible to kill Zhu Qiansi in this illusion!

"But before that... we still have to meet up with the others."

Lin Yu sighed.

After all, after looking around, in addition to learning about the customs and habits of Liu Town in the past and confirming that this place was an illusion, Lin Yu also discovered something very important and obvious.

That is, he and the others were not all in the same place.
