#682 - Exposed Operator
The sky above was covered in dark clouds, growing thicker and thicker, with the faint rumble of thunder becoming more and more frequent.
Looking at this terrifying, awe-inspiring scene, Xuan Yunzi's face grew even more worried.
"This evil demon named 'Rakshasa'... shouldn't be a creature from the Prison Mountain Realm, right?"

Li Nian nodded: "Yes, this thing also comes from another world."
"Then it's even worse. This thunder magic seems to be the Righteous Thunder of Evil Extermination," Xuan Yunzi said, "Such heretical demons will enhance the power of this thunder magic!"
"After all, although Righteous Thunder Magic is a method used by alchemists, its principle is similar to our Taoist magic. Both involve drawing upon the power of heaven and earth and using the laws of the Great Dao to cast spells."
In the sky, blue-purple electric light surged and gathered in the clouds, emitting an aura of majesty and solemnity.
Li Nian couldn't help but complain again.
"Hey, what kind of world is this? A puppet controlled by a demon can still use this kind of 'righteous law'? The Heavenly Dao of this world doesn't seem very intelligent!"
"If it were truly intelligent, it should strike the puppet casting the spell dead first!"
However, this was just Li Nian's wishful thinking.
Since the other party used it, it was impossible to be struck dead directly.
Soon...
The first lightning bolt fell!
"Boom!"
A blue serpent of electric light crashed down towards Lin Yu, completely engulfing the huge Rakshasa figure!
"Shua shua shua shua!"
The lightning continued to pour down for several seconds before it ended.
And after the bombardment ended, after the electric light completely dissipated...
The figure of the giant Rakshasa had disappeared!
"What? Where did it go?"
Seagull said nervously.
And Lin Yu's relaxed voice sounded again from outside: "Of course, it's been taken back. This is just my [Summoned Creature]!"
This thunder magic did lock onto the Rakshasa, making any dodging futile, but...
Lin Yu wasn't the Rakshasa!
He only needed to end the transformation at the instant the thunder magic began, and then he could dodge and evade.
Of course, the explanation to the outside world was still that he had "taken the Rakshasa back."
After ending the transformation, Lin Yu didn't summon the Rakshasa again.
"It's really troublesome. Releasing that guy once consumes a lot of energy and has a long cooldown."
Outside the Taoist temple, Lin Yu said softly, perfecting the setting of "Rakshasa."
This wasn't entirely 'deception', after all, although transforming into Rakshasa no longer required additional 'belief' and could be done using [Melt Metal with Words], Lin Yu still suffered enormous physical exhaustion after transforming.
If it weren't for the buffs from [GP700 Life Activation Injection] and [Asylum Patient Gown], Lin Yu would probably have been out of breath by now.
Hearing Lin Yu say this, Li Nian asked, "Do you need help?"
"Not for now," Lin Yu raised his head, looking at the thunderclouds slowly dissipating in the sky, "After all, I've already found it."
Then, he took a step forward, activated [Corner of the Gloomy One], instantly passing through several martial artists via shadows and arriving in front of one person.
He shoved the torch into the mouth of the puppet who was also dressed as a martial artist. Lin Yu looked at him with a smile on his face.
"You are indeed quite powerful. You even know how to protect your 'output', high-attack, low-defense trump card."
But unfortunately, as Lin Yu became more and more skilled at using mental perception, although it still took some effort to pick out a specific person from the crowd, it wasn't impossible!
Lin Yu could still sense that there was a fake martial artist, a true alchemist, mixed in with these puppets!
After all, this guy's aura was too different from the people around him—the alchemists and martial artists of the Prison Mountain Realm were too specialized.
The former had a weak body and strong spirit; the latter had abundant vitality but a weak consciousness.
After Lin Yu shoved the end of the torch into the other party's mouth, he showed no mercy, no hesitation, not even a discussion or exchange.
"Shua!"
Pale flames rose from the other party's mouth, and the terrifying flames instantly devoured the alchemist puppet's head.
Lin Yu stood up, seeing the white flames burning fiercely on the other party's head, like a large torch of fear.
The silent screams lasted only for a second before completely subsiding.
Lin Yu didn't pay any more attention to the fallen alchemist puppet on the ground. He immediately turned his head and looked around.
Soon, Lin Yu made eye contact with a seemingly unremarkable martial artist in the crowd.
Lin Yu smiled.
"Ha, found you."
The controller of these puppets, the descendant of Willow Town who had directly confronted him using Chen Yuanye's body, the henchman of the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord... Lin Yu had locked onto his location.
The principle was also very simple.
Since he was the controller of all the puppets and had demonstrated the ability to directly replace the consciousness of Chen Yuanye and other puppets, it meant that although the other puppets seemed to retain their self-consciousness, there must be a 'backdoor' left in their consciousness by the 'controller'.
Then...
Sufficiently strong emotions might also be able to be reversely input into the operator.
And the alchemist who had just been killed by the Flames of Fear had an abnormally strong emotion of fear!
Therefore, in the vision of the [Mind-Peering Monocle]...
Lin Yu clearly saw that among the many martial artist puppets, there was one who also had an "abnormal fear" emotion fluctuation.
"Fear 72%, Shock 11%, Worry 7%, Determination 6%, Unknown 4%..."
Lin Yu didn't hesitate, lit the torch again, and pounced in the direction of the other party.
"Not good!"
The operator also realized that something was wrong, and immediately manipulated the martial artist puppets to rush towards the direction where his body was, surrounding him in layers.
However...
In front of Lin Yu, this defense formed by human flesh was of no use!
"Shua—!"
[Corner of the Gloomy One] activated, Lin Yu instantly passed through the gaps in the crowd's shadows, appearing below the puppet operator's body.
"Bang!"
The torch burning with pale flames was once again wielded wildly in the narrow space, igniting the collars and bodies of several surrounding martial artists while also directly targeting the vital parts of the operator's body!
