Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God

Chapter 678: Sometimes I Feel Like a Skewer of Kebabs, Being Flipped Back and Forth Every Day

”Even if Xie Chong is Zhu Qiansiʼs blood descendant, why did his body have to be torn apart?”

”Shouldnʼt you respect the guyʼs corpse more?”

Facing Lin Yuʼs question, Chen Yuanye, who had already opened up, paused for a moment before continuing.

”More than respecting the corpse, what I care about is... how to revive Zhu Qiansi and Willow Town, to let them see the light of day again.”

”I canʼt accept them dying such an unjust death, especially dying with a stain on their name—so I have to bring Willow Town and Qiansi back into the world,” Chen Yuanye gritted his teeth and said. ”So after that old dog, the Taiqing Sect Founder, died, I started making my moves... I first renamed ʼLiu Townʼ to ʼWillow Town,ʼ then gradually altered the county records of Liu Town, causing its past to blur with Willow Town in peopleʼs perception.”

”After that, I kept setting up in Liu Town, planting Causality Silk on its residents.”

”At the same time... I made sure Xie Chong, as Qiansiʼs blood descendant, gained widespread fame both before and after death—which meant he formed connections with most people in the Prison Mountain Realm.”

”Once the number of people connected to Qiansi grew large enough—to the level of fame and quantity we see today—I could then use Xie Chongʼs remains to lure them all to the new ʼWillow Townʼ... then both Qiansi and Willow Town could re-emerge into the world through the ʼKarmic Abilityʼ!”

”Just part of the remains would be enough to be safe, but two pieces... the effect is even better!”

Mystic Cloud Master exclaimed, ”Are you insane? The people of Willow Town died three hundred and fifty years ago!”
”But Qiansi didnʼt die,” Chen Yuanye growled again. ”Just like me—the consciousness of all of them was preserved by Qiansi within the Causality Silk. As long as Qiansi is revived, Willow Town will be revived!”

”So... weʼre just one step away. We just need Xie Chongʼs remains to reach Willow Town!”

Hearing this, both Lin Yuʼs group and Snowy Owlʼs group suddenly understood what the ”reach Willow Town” and ”prevent Willow Town from appearing” in their tasks meant.

Lin Yu pressed his forehead. ”Ah... ah! What a roundabout way to go!”

Li Nian also caught on. ”So, this dungeon was actually supposed to be a simple offense-defense centered around Xie Chongʼs remains... We follow the escort team to deliver his remains to Willow Town, then Willow Town automatically appears, and we clear it.”

”By the same logic, that group of three over there just needed to grab these remains and destroy them to succeed... right?”

As Li Nian spoke, Lin Yu nodded painfully.

”Sorry, this oneʼs on me... I made things complicated.”

Although Lin Yu was used to most of his dungeons being abnormal, as Li Nian had said, this dungeon actually had a ”normal,” ”simple” solution.

He looked at the employer Flying Knife and apologized again. ”Sorry, I made things complicated.”

Flying Knife was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand. ”Itʼs fine, itʼs fine. Without you, I wouldnʼt have made it through either... This way, I might even snag an extra achievement like Threading the Needle, since I know the whole truth now.”

”Besides, isnʼt clearing it easy now? We have no conflict of interest with this... this surviving senior from Willow Town. We just need to give him the remains and head to Willow Town together—doesnʼt that make everyone happy?”

Chen Yuanye nodded and spoke. ”Not bad. It seems there are still sensible smart people among you out-of-realm folks!”

His gaze at Flying Knife was full of relief, then he turned to Lin Yu.

”It seems there are no more questions between us. So, letʼs cooperate happ—”

”Bang!”

A bullet hit Chen Yuanyeʼs forehead, and he slowly fell.

Lin Yu put away his revolver and said calmly, ”Blathering on and on. Who wants to cooperate with you?”

Flying Knife was startled. ”What are you doing?”

”Doing the right thing, of course—I put in so much effort to find a way to clear it together, and now taking a shortcut would undo all that progress?”

Lin Yu turned around and looked at the dejected Mystic Cloud Master and the dumbfounded Snowy Owl trio.
