Chapter 868: Transaction between Monsters
From the moment Lin Yu discovered that a monster had boarded the airship, he made up his mind to disguise himself as a monster.
It was precisely because of this that he would always reveal his "flaws" and make himself look the most suspicious among everyone - of course, Lin Yu did not show it too obviously.
After all, he was very sure that there were at least two smart people on the airship: Fu Luo and Fen.
Going too far may actually backfire.
After all, monsters can disguise themselves as humans, so why can't I disguise myself as a monster?
The positive combat effectiveness that Lao Yao can demonstrate as such is still too weak.
But if you are no longer "Old Yao" but a "monster", you can avoid this problem well.
No one knows how powerful this monster from Kirishima is - when Lin Yu wants to resume his identity as Lao Yao, he only needs to find a place where no one can see him and walk around, and he can always make himself perform Lao Yao again in a "perfect" state and regain his identity as Lao Yao.
And now...
Lin Yu’s goal has basically been achieved.
Everyone on the field, even the monster in front of him, already thought he was another one of Kirishima's monsters.
Of course, uncovering the real hidden monster is also an added benefit.
Just listening to what he said, there really isn't anything wrong.
This guy really can't read all the memories, but this monster doesn't "replace" anyone...
The real way he blends into the player group is parasitism.
It is impossible that any player who answered the question just now was missed - because they are indeed the players themselves.
The water stains on the ground were not from a player who was dragged down, but from the last parasite it used to board the airship - a corpse that may have been soaking in the sea of Kirishima for a long time.
Now that the "parasitism" has been completed and a more useful "body" is available, the original one can naturally "jump into the sea" to commit suicide.
The water mist inside the airship is actually used to cover up the "abnormalities" of the parasite.
It is not only to prevent others from seeing it, but also to prevent the person being parasitized from seeing it.
After Lin Yu knocked the military resident unconscious just now, the one controlling his body now was naturally the monster.
At this moment, in the mist that blocked all sight and sound, Lin Yu looked at the military residence where the mist that concealed his image had been removed. His clothes were already covered with tiny dry vines.
This is probably part of the monster's body.
The other party looked at Lin Yu and said uncertainly: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
"I should be the one asking you this question. I'm in control now," Lin Yu said, looking at him with contempt. "To be honest, your disguise is terrible."
As Lin Yu spoke, the monster seemed a little unhappy: "But, it's you who was exposed."
"Nonsense, because I didn't intend to hide myself from the beginning. All I wanted was to reveal myself at the right time and then negotiate directly with them," Lin Yu said proudly, "Otherwise... do you think your crude plan will work?"
"They always believed that they could uncover the 'monster' by 'questioning'. It was entirely because I wanted them to think they had found my flaws through 'questioning' rather than me revealing them on my own initiative," Lin Yu said calmly. "I interfered with the thinking of the two smartest of them and misled them... Otherwise, you would have been found out long ago."
Lin Yu was not lying to the monster.
The reason why Fu Luo and Shijiu were so obsessed with finding the monster through "questioning" was because Lin Yu used the [narrative trick] to interfere with their cognition, making the two of them convinced that their guess must be correct, thus ignoring other possibilities - for example, the monster might be a "parasitic" type.
Of course, Lin Yu didn't do this just to help it.
After all, if they found a real monster, it would be troublesome for Lin Yu to pretend to be a monster again.
And through the form of "questioning", Lin Yu can easily sell "just the right" flaws - making them feel that "Old Yao" seems to be wrong, but not so deliberate as to make them feel that this monster disguised as Old Yao seems to be deliberately exposed.
But facing this monster at this moment, Lin Yu naturally had to emphasize the part where he helped it.
"Look, although we may not necessarily have the same stance, we are always closer to each other when it comes to facing aliens. As you just saw, these aliens are very powerful, so why not cooperate? I will be in the open, and you will be in the dark. It's better than fighting alone."
Lin Yu said in an inducing manner.
The monster possessing the military residence whispered, "What you said makes some sense, but... I still need to understand your purpose."
“I can’t work with someone I don’t know at all.”
Lin Yu was also expecting the other party to be wary.
In the Kirishima Realm, where crows exist as supreme gods, most creatures here are cunning and deceitful, skilled in disguise and deception.
Deceiving players, deceiving each other, and creating all kinds of illusions and hallucinations are all part of the daily lives of Kirishima creatures.
It’s really difficult to talk about cooperation in a place like this.
For Lin Yu, this world of intrigue, mutual suspicion and wariness was just...
a!
He listened to the other person's words and a smile appeared on his face.
Right, right, that's how it should be.
The more cautious a person is, the more likely he is to fall into a complex and sophisticated scam - the scams that deceive the unsuspecting are often only the simplest.
Although the other party is easily deceived, the content of the deception is often only the most superficial and direct.
The more you think and be cautious with a "skeptical" attitude, the more traps you will fall into.
Seeing the other party's cautious look, Lin Yu spoke with a smile.
"Indeed, if you want to cooperate here, it won't work if you completely hide yourself."
"Well, let me introduce myself anyway. I'm from the Thirty-Seventh Island, and I came here for the 'legacy' of the Sixth Island. I didn't lie to them about that."
"From that inheritance, I only need a pendant-shaped item."
"My ability is exactly what you want to pretend—to devour some of my memories and disguise myself as someone similar."
"This guy was replaced by me before you arrived."
After hearing the words "Thirty-seven Islands", the monster obviously realized something.
It spoke calmly.
"I'm from the 26th Island... My ability is to attach myself to a person's body and slowly erode their soul and consciousness."
