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

#654 - Plan execution, rain-making talisman

Taking the newly joined Chen Yuan Ye and three bodyguards, they headed back towards the stone house. The weather was no longer as hot as it had been.

Although Lin Yu had said there wasn't time for Chen Yuan Ye and Yue Zhen Qiao to praise each other, the two still managed to chat quickly on the way.

"So, the heroine is actually a top disciple of the Mingzhen Martial Arts School? Truly a genius... to be able to teach such an expert at such a young age!"

"Junior sister was able to subdue the mountain demon leader with ease? Making a demon submit is much harder than killing it directly. That mountain demon leader should be at the sixth level... In other words, isn't my junior sister at the eighth level? She's even stronger than I was at my peak!"

Both sides were straightforward people. Although they "exchanged information", it didn't expose Lin Yu. Instead, it further solidified her identity.

In Yue Zhen Qiao's eyes, Lin Yu had gone from a mysterious expert to a top disciple of the Mingzhen Martial Arts School.

As for whether the other party was from the Liu Town Jinfu Escort Agency... that wasn't important.

Even if she had deceived him at first, so what? She had helped his entire team through the difficulties in Fuyuan Mountain!

As an experienced veteran, Yue Zhen Qiao had already come to a conclusion: at least this heroine was probably here for Chen Yuan Ye.

Of course, Lin Yu didn't let the two of them chat aimlessly.

He listened the entire time, and if their conversation touched on anything that might lead to him being suspected, Lin Yu would immediately interrupt and redirect it.

However, the content of their conversation along the way was all very "safe".

It wasn't far from Chen Yuan Ye's house to the stone house where they were staying, and there were no more strange occurrences like Chen Yong De's obstruction along the way.

But...

When they arrived at the stone house, Lin Yu pushed open the stone door and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Where... where is everyone?!"

Yue Zhen Qiao, who was right behind him, was even more shocked than Lin Yu and muttered to himself.

Because inside the entire stone house, there were only twelve people left!

Five of them were the players who had been waiting there.

Now Yue Zhen Qiao didn't need to recall anything to know that people were missing - a lot of people were missing!

The three bodyguards all looked bewildered and panicked. Wu San stepped forward and grabbed his helpless younger brother.

"Wu Qi, why are there so few people left?!"

Li Nian said quietly, "Old brother over there, don't get excited. This isn't his fault..."

Lin Yu took off his clothes and threw them back to Li Nian, then asked, "What exactly happened?"

"One of the two bodyguards who disappeared earlier came back. Although they forgot later, I still remember their names," Li Nian caught the clothes Lin Yu threw to her and said calmly, "Qiao Shaowen, not very tall, came in and shouted that he had escaped from the demons and that everyone should help save the other person."

"I thought something was wrong at the time and advised everyone not to go all out, after all, it's the hottest time outside, but that guy seemed to ignore that completely... But the people from Jinfu Escort Agency are very loyal, and five or six people immediately ran off after him."

"Once people were scattered, the arrangements were all messed up, and everyone's state seemed very abnormal at the time," Li Nian said softly, "Master Wu Qi here is already considered rational, but it's difficult to control the situation."

"In the end... as you can see, only these few people are left here."

As Li Nian spoke, Lin Yu frowned.

"It seems that the mastermind behind this does have its own consciousness, and it's smarter, more cunning, and more greedy than I thought."

But Lin Yu quickly realized that this was an opportunity.

After all, he had already decided to use the corpse of the knife demon Xie Chong as bait, and he had been worried that Yue Zhen Qiao wouldn't cooperate.

But now, in this tense situation, Lin Yu was confident that Yue Zhen Qiao would agree to his proposal eight or nine times out of ten.

So, taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yu immediately looked in Yue Zhen Qiao's direction.

"Chief Yue, now we probably can't wait until the outside temperature is suitable to take action," Lin Yu said seriously, "Now that the situation is special, my suggestion is... extraordinary measures for extraordinary times."

Even though Yue Zhen Qiao was experienced and prudent, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in the face of this unprecedented crisis.

"Although the past escort teams and merchant teams have not encountered any obstacles after leaving this place... we have to take a gamble, betting that this corpse also has a huge attraction for the mastermind hiding in the dark and causing multiple disappearances, and will definitely not be able to restrain itself from taking the initiative to stop us!"

"Once it takes action to stop us, there will definitely be changes... Although we don't know what the changes will be at this time, it's better than being slowly boiled to death like this."

As Lin Yu spoke, Yue Zhen Qiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"Let's do as you say, Heroine!"

This was the most straightforward agreement Yue Zhen Qiao had ever made.

However, this time, Li Nian raised a different opinion: "This plan sounds a bit radical, but I agree... However, it's so hot outside, are there any heat-avoidance measures now?"

"Chief Yue has some precious heat-avoidance talismans," Lin Yu said directly, "Now that the number of people has decreased, it's enough to use... Even, we don't need to use Chief Yue's talismans at the beginning. It's not too late to use them if it's absolutely necessary. After all, I also have some other types of talismans here - although they don't directly cool down and avoid the heat or release coldness, they have similar effects, and they can be used for many people at once!"

As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian was a little curious: "What kind of talismans? You're hiding such a good thing?"

"The kind that summons clouds and rain."

Lin Yu said lightly, then took out the yellow "delicious paper", but deliberately clenched it in his hand without unfolding it.

"Time is of the essence, let's go!"

Saying that, Lin Yu walked outside, pretending to tear the talisman, but actually just put away the delicious paper.

The "Rain Prayer" ability of the [Prayer Water Necklace] was activated, and instantly the sky outside suddenly darkened - this was a rare phenomenon in the Fire Hell of Prison Mountain.

"Splash!"

Raindrops rolled onto the ground and instantly evaporated, turning into water vapor and rising, taking away a large amount of heat from the ground.

Although the rain falling on the body was even a little warm, the torrential rain suddenly fell, and it did instantly lower the temperature locally in this originally scorching weather.

Yue Zhen Qiao was extremely moved by this scene.

"To actually use such a precious talisman... The heroine is truly righteous!"

"Let's go quickly, don't waste this precious rain-summoning talisman!"
