Chapter 572 Alchemical Principles and Fraud Countermeasures
Along with Lin Yu's voice, the pile of "doll corpses" on Huo Xing in Buyetian began to move.
Soon, one of the bodies, who looked a little fat, staggered to his feet.
Then, a crack appeared on the back of the fat corpse's spine and slowly opened like a zipper.
The black-haired girl emerged from her tight pajamas and blinked her fiery red eyes.
"Freud, huh? That's amazing... So how did you know I was in here?"
Lin Yu shrugged: "It's very simple, I deduced it - although it seemed that you were recording just now, you emphasized the recording too much, which made me feel that you were live broadcasting."
"The sudden appearance of phlogiston gas further proves this point - you must have been manipulating the release of this phlogiston gas on site."
"Given your personality, you wouldn't miss such a chaotic scene, and you're sure I'll show up and continue to cause chaos.
"So, you must not have run far."
"Based on this, the Buyetian family's alchemy array is very powerful... If it were me, instead of running away, I would rather hide in the inner court."
"And with so many corpses you've got, it's going to be really easy for you to sneak in."
As Lin Yu analyzed, Huo Xing nodded in conviction.
"That's quite impressive—no wonder you can impersonate Forboluo. Your acumen might even be even better than the original owner's!"
"I approve of you!"
Nevernight Fire Apricot gave a thumbs-up and then greeted Art Mercury: "Hello, Grandpa Art Mercury, long time no see."
The two men obviously knew each other, and a smile appeared on Art Mercury's face.
"Oh, Huo Xing, it's been a while... But why did you get so many corpses and lie inside one of them? That doesn't seem very hygienic, does it?"
Huo Xing shook his head: "Don't worry, Grandpa Art, I have carefully washed, dried, sterilized with high temperature, and disinfected with ultraviolet light."
"Anyway, I'm sorry, but I also colluded with this guy named 'Floyd' here and participated in your assassination..."
Art Mercury shook his head: "It doesn't matter. As I said, I am a man who deserves to die - you should have known this a long time ago, right?"
Huo Xing nodded slightly. "Yes, after all, the advanced alchemy I master is related to corpses and can be considered an extension of the 'Life Alchemy' lineage, so I am more sensitive to your condition..."
"Alan Mercury placed you in the Buyetian family and allied with the Sorens family and the Buyetian family's patriarch to prevent anyone who has practiced the 'Life Lineage' too much and has advanced research in this lineage from coming into contact with you and discovering something."
"But he didn't expect that I, as a direct descendant of the Buyetian family, could actually successfully cultivate the 'Life Lineage'."
Huo Xing of Buyetian said this with a smile, and Art nodded.
"This is indeed surprising... In short, do you think his plan is feasible?"
Buyetian Huoxing nodded slightly.
"It's generally feasible... I can't believe you, a complete outsider with no knowledge of alchemy, could have guessed so much about Alan Mercury's arrangements."
"What he used was a 'faith ritual', stripping away his own original power as the 'Chosen of Life' and forcibly creating the concept of 'life'. This is the power of the Supreme Alchemy, which only the Chosen can master. The core of any 'Supreme Alchemy' is the creation of 'concepts' and their infinite extension."
“Therefore, the emotional spectrum can activate, energize, and materialize emotions.”
"And the spectrum of life can realize the mutual transformation of life and form of all things."
"The fusion lineage is about bringing inanimate things to life and making them an extension of a certain life."
"However, simply creating the concept of 'life' isn't enough—because even if you still have a breath left, 'death' is almost an established fact. This kind of 'miracle' of near-resurrection from the dead can't be achieved simply by creating a concept."
"So, Allan Mercury constructed another ritual, making everyone in the City That Never Sleeps believe that Art Mercury is still alive and is the Chosen One of Life, thus connecting this concept of 'life' with you."
Buyetian Huoxing combed her hair and explained everything patiently like a teacher giving a lecture.
Lin Yu knew that the other party did this for himself, so he looked at Buyetian Huoxing seriously.
"Thank you for your answer, Nevernight Fire Apricot."
Although this alchemical knowledge sounds basic, it is definitely a secret of the nobles - especially since it involves the core and essence of the alchemy of the five major nobles.
This knowledge is not only useful this time, but Lin Yu will also be able to use it in the future.
Even...if it was just to evaluate Lin Yu's plan this time, there was no need for Buyetian Huoxing to explain it so thoroughly.
By doing this, she was laying the foundation for Lin Yu.
"So, your idea is correct. By reversing the process to dismantle this ritual, you might actually succeed... But this is, after all, the result of Supreme Alchemy. Even if you truly convince everyone in Nightless City that Art Mercury is not the Chosen One of Life, I suspect your success rate is only 50%."
"Half? That's enough."
Lin Yu nodded and said confidently.
after all……
If the Nevernight Fire Apricot can give a success rate of half based on these, then Lin Yu dares to guarantee that the actual success rate should be more than 80%.
After all, he didn't just intend to "expose the fact that Art Mercury was not the Chosen One of Life" and that "Art Mercury had died long ago."
What Lin Yu did not tell Art Mercury and Buyetian Huoxing was that he naturally had the ability to use "belief" to construct facts.
So he didn't need to "expose" that Art Mercury had died a long time ago. He only needed to expose that the other party was not the Chosen One of Life... and then create the fact that "Art Mercury" was dead!
Although Lin Yu had no way to make the living die or resurrect the dead through lies... every time Lin Yu tried to come up with such an idea, he would feel that the amount of "belief" required was theoretically impossible to achieve.
This condition can only be achieved if all people in the world or several gods believe in it devoutly and wholeheartedly.
But if the very fact that Art Mercury was "alive" was a fabrication...
Then constructing a new "fact" to cover it up and realize his death, the amount of belief required is not that much!
It is true that the ritual of the Supreme Alchemy is of extremely high status and Alan Mercury's arrangement involves gods, but Lin Yu does not need to crack this ritual head-on.
He only needs to be able to activate his "professional" ability to appreciate which one has a higher status between the "rules of the death game" and the "ritual of the gods"!
