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

Chapter 696 Taiqing Patriarch

A true expert player must dare to make judgments.

When Lin Yu took Haiou and Li Nian upstairs, he indeed found Gao Shan who was following them in a place near the window with an excellent view!

And there is a surprise...

Sitting across from me at the same table was Snowy Owl.

You can immediately determine why two people are sitting together and what their identities are by observing their clothes.

"My goodness, they are both police officers!"

Lin Yu looked at the gray clothes on the two people and couldn't help but sigh.

Snow Owl and Gao Shan must have met immediately after entering Liu Town because of their similar identities.

After all, both of them were wearing the uniforms of Liuzhen Yamen constables, and they even carried swords.

Lin Yu looked at this scene and felt somewhat relieved.

Now, it seems that Snow Owl, who was most likely to explode with Zhu Qiansi directly, has been persuaded by the rational Gao Shan.

“The risk is mitigated again, and it’s a good thing that all the players except the employer are on board.”

Lin Yu muttered in his heart.

The sound of the three people climbing up to the second floor was also noticed by Snowy Owl and Gaoshan.

After they looked over here, they also showed some surprised expressions and called the three people over.

"Come and sit."

Gao Shan stood up to greet the three people.

The two of them showed surprised expressions, of course not because they did not expect Li Nian, Lin Yu and Haiou to find them.

The reason was obviously because the condition and appearance of one of the three people were somewhat different from their impression.

"How did you become a woman, Seagull?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's because I merged into a young lady," Seagull said shamelessly, having gradually gotten used to it. "Who knows what the situation is... Have you two been together from the beginning?"

Gao Shan shook his head upon hearing this: "Not really together, but relatively close, after all, we were both in the same government office... I unexpectedly found her not long after."

"what about you?"

"We met on the way here," Lin Yu replied, "As for my employer... based on his personality, it's highly likely he won't come."

"Even if he could think of us to deal with Zhu Qiansi, he probably wouldn't be willing to go there on his own initiative... But it's better this way, since he can't help anyway."

As Lin Yu spoke, Gao Shan pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"In this case, only Taoist Xuan Yunzi is left... Should we continue waiting?"

As Gao Shan spoke, Snow Owl was eager to try: "I don't think we need to wait. The old Taoist may have some other arrangements and methods... We have gathered our people, maybe we can try to contact Zhu Qiansi."

"Although this is risky, I think it's worth a try... After all, Zhu Qiansi is revising the past, and time is not on our side."

Snowy Owl proposed a somewhat radical plan, but also gave radical reasons.

This reason even convinced Li Nian a little.

"Indeed, although rashly contacting Zhu Qiansi will almost certainly lead to uncontrollable events, continuing to delay will only fulfill the demon's wish."

Li Nian thought about it, but still looked at Lin Yu.

"What do you think, Sister Yao?"

Lin Yu looked out the window. It was already dark, and the scenery on the road gradually became dim. The shops on both sides had lit torches and lanterns, and the lights were shining brightly, which created a beautiful night scene.

The arrival of night did not dampen the enthusiasm of those seeking divination, and they still gathered at the door.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Lin Yu spoke in a low voice.

"The timing is not right now."

"When is the right time?" Gao Shan also asked, "Do you know any inside information?"

"We have to wait for someone to show up," Lin Yu said after a moment's pause. "I don't know the inside story, but I'm wondering... since Zhu Qiansi rewrote the past of Liu Zhen and herself being 'sealed', then could the time point Liu Zhen is currently in be 'before the seal'?"

"So, will we be able to see the person who sealed her away back then, Grandmaster Taiqing, passing by here soon?"

"Although he's not under the control of the causal threads, even those who haven't been planted with them in this 'Illusionary Willow Town' can likely be recreated—through the memories of others in the causal threads."

"After all, I can see that many of Liu Town's residents are vivid... But there are also some, perhaps 20% to 30%, who don't feel as three-dimensional and real as the others. They're naturally a little 'fake'... It's like they were 'generated' differently from the others."

The rest of the players were stunned.

After Lin Yu said this, they realized that it seemed that about 20% to 30% of the townspeople were more like human-machines than others!

And this ratio... is exactly the ratio of townspeople who have been planted with the causal threads and those who have not been planted - so it seems that it is not a coincidence.

Of course, Lin Yu didn't say the whole story.

He actually had a suspicion...

That is, was it true that the Taiqing Patriarch back then did not have the thread of cause and effect planted in him?

Or……

Is it possible that Zhu Qiansi's magical power can also work on the dead?

"So, it seems that there is a possibility of encountering Grandmaster Taiqing, but how can we be sure?"

Gao Shan said uncertainly.

"It's precisely because we can't be sure that we need to observe. Anyway, there is no better solution now."

As Lin Yu spoke, Snow Owl also raised his own doubts: "How can we confirm this? If we wait for Grandmaster Taiqing to take action, it might be too late... By then, Zhu Qiansi might have already made preparations and arrangements."

"In the best case scenario, of course, it would be best to wait until Grandmaster Taiqing makes a move before we can establish contact with him... After all, according to Xuan Yunzi's description, Grandmaster Taiqing probably didn't attack Zhu Qiansi the moment he spotted her. He also observed and prepared for quite some time before unleashing the Hundred Tribulations Forbidden Technique."

"Otherwise, how did the ancestor discover that 70% to 80% of the population of Liu Town had been planted with the causal thread?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian agreed: "Indeed, in addition to Zhu Qiansi, the most important figure in Liu Town back then was naturally the Taiqing Patriarch."

"Then shouldn't we find that old Taoist first?" Seagull said after thinking, "After all, only that old Taoist knows what his ancestor looks like."

"Liu Town is a big town. We can't just catch a Taoist priest and ask him if he's from the Taiqing Sect... that would alert the enemy!"

Lin Yu waved his hand.

"No need for Xuan Yunzi, I just happen to know what the founder of Taiqing Sect looks like!"

After all, he had seen the [Lens of Fear] before he went in.

That Taiqing Patriarch is definitely one of the two green-robed Taoists!
