Chapter 1236: A successful scam, a perfect escape
From the moment Lin Yu transformed into "Schreber", the cooling time for the next use of [Mask] has not ended.
Although using the [Repaired Mist Pocket Watch] can force a refresh, for Lin Yu, that requires too many operations and it is easy for the "Fortune Teller" and "Freud" to catch the clues.
Even if the [Mask] is ready, the changes in facial expression can easily be caught by the [Fortune Teller].
and so……
What Lin Yu did was not to activate [Mask] to change his appearance.
But...
He put the [Mask], a [Professional Item], back into his own [Item Space].
What is revealed in this way is naturally your true appearance!
Add to that the cognitive distortion interference of [Narrative Trick]...
"Freud" and "Fortune Teller" immediately thought in the direction that Lin Yu expected!
"Damn it, that 'Schreiber' actually managed to break through my spatial blockade... Simple teleportation couldn't do it, so he used a power like 'Exchange'?!"
As the fortune teller spoke, in addition to shock, there was also uncontrollable anger in his tone.
Floyd said coldly, "'Teleportation'... That guy has the ability to spiritualize. Theoretically, the 'exchange' between spirits is possible without spatial restrictions. Don't forget, the act of sacrificing souls can even be carried out across worlds."
"As long as it's not 'Move', your space-restricting ability won't work!"
"This is something my predecessor never did. It seems he not only stole the abilities and legacy of the original, but also used them to create new abilities."
As Floyd spoke, the fortune teller took two deep breaths and then calmed down.
"Very good...'Replacement', huh?"
The two of them had already come to the answer without any doubt.
After all, they were both at the top level of the "Fourth Order", so no matter how outrageous the matter was, it was possible in their eyes.
and so……
Because of their "reasonable inference that was consistent with their own cognition" and Lin Yu's [narrative trick], which started off wrongly and led the two people in the wrong direction, they came to a wrong conclusion that greatly overestimated Schreiber's ability but was completely reasonable and self-consistent.
Although the idea of "exchanging souls" sounded absurd, both of them felt that since Schreiber could wipe out the subordinates they were supposed to protect...
It is not impossible that he would perform such a shocking escape operation.
After all, their judgment is infallible.
not to mention……
The "Director" before him was the real deal, looking confused and a little flustered.
Although he displayed the qualities expected of a new member of the Order, he immediately calmed down, performed alchemy, and began to glide through the air to save himself, attempting to use some kind of Wasteland-world teleportation device that utilized "inferiority" and "social phobia" emotions to move back to the plane, he was still a little confused about the current situation.
Lin Yu's performance was so "reasonable" and "natural", all his actions and expressions were not abrupt at all and were very convincing, so that the fortune teller and Freud did not have any doubts at all.
Not to mention any doubts, there wasn't even a moment of careful thought.
This guy just appeared here suddenly. This is an unquestionable "precondition" that does not require much discussion. It is not even at the "theorem" level - after all, theorems also need to be deduced and learned.
Just like using the "Pythagorean Theorem" in math problems, it seems to be very basic, but there is always a tiny possibility that students will be bored while doing the problems and think about how this theorem came about.
However, no one thinks about “why a straight line is straight” - because it looks straight.
Lin Yu's performance has reached a level of naturalness that makes it impossible for even doubtful perspectives to produce such as "a straight line is straight" and "a triangle has three angles".
After all, he was playing the role that he was best at playing.
Even though the fortune teller and Freud believed that the "director"'s actual occupation was "movie star" and knew that he was a college student who loved acting and had superb acting skills at a professional level, if someone told them that Lin Yu was acting, they would definitely not believe it and might even think it was a very lame joke.
After all... what does it matter if his 'occupation' is 'Best Actor'? Even if he is a real Best Actor, he can still maintain such a natural performance under such circumstances, which is beyond the comprehension of the two.
Their perception as high-level players would make them more inclined to believe that all this was due to Schreiber's powerful [tools] and skills.
What's more, there was no reminder for the two of them at this moment.
but……
Even if the performance was successful, Schreiber seemed to have escaped and disappeared from their perspective.
But Lin Yu's risks and crises have not been resolved theoretically.
After all, even though he changed his identity, he was still actually "present".
even……
To some extent, the identity of "director" is also attractive to "fortune teller" and "Freud".
However, Lin Yu felt the trust of the two people at this moment, and even though he was still present, he felt that he had declared "safety".
Because Lin Yu chose to appear in his true self, as a "director", he did take into account the limitations of the "mask" and the fact that playing a "director" based on himself was his best area.
But at the end of the day…
This is because Lin Yu also knows that although the identity of "Director" may seem like a super newcomer to "Order", it is actually safer than any of his other identities, even disguising himself as a passerby on the plane!
Because whether it's a "fortune teller" or "Freud"...
They all don't want this super newcomer of "Order" to die here!
Especially after being teased by Schreiber, it was actually the safest thing for the "director" to appear in front of the two of them at this moment.
For Lin Yu, this is not even a gamble, but he has completely understood the minds of these two top masters.
For Freud, the director possesses valuable S+ potential, and she will never let Lin Yu die prematurely in this way at such a high altitude.
And the "fortune teller"... Although this guy wanted to kill him when they first met, as time went by, Lin Yu became more and more aware that the fortune teller seemed to have glimpsed some kind of "future" from him.
Although he did not stop Baisha, the fortune teller did not seem to want to kill him actively, and he even did not encourage the members of the "Predator" to attack him.
of course……
Even if these two people really went against Lin Yu's expectations and suddenly went crazy and wanted to kill him, for Lin Yu, it would be nothing more than immediately sending his soul to the will of the Lord of the Abyss and exiling himself to Yegu.
And it turns out, he didn't need to do that.
Because neither the "Fortune Teller" nor "Freud" paid any attention to Lin Yu after the initial attention. Instead, they continued to work together to completely destroy the already crumbling abyss rift and expel the will of Helshacanus and the Lord of the Abyss from this world!
At the same time, the two people will also extend their perception to a farther distance, intending to find the trace of "Schreber"!
