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

The night had reached its most intense and deepest moment, which was also the liveliest time in Willow Town.

On the brightly lit street, among the bustling residents of Willow Town, were Xuan Yunzi, Yunzhen, and several players.

The seven of them were now acting separately—they were running around Willow Town, setting up the talisman array.

Although they didn't know exactly how the Taiqing Founder had done it back then, Yunzhen and Xuan Yunzi quickly discussed and came up with a new set of talisman arrays, which could be used to close the net once set up.

They had chosen to believe Lin Yu's story: Zhu Qiansi would also pretend to resist, but in reality, cooperate with them to actively enter the sealed talisman array.

If that was the case, then as long as this talisman array was powerful enough to seal a thousand-year-old demon and didn't look too perfunctory, it would be sufficient.

With such tacit understanding, the arrangement of the talisman array was quickly completed.

The seven people who had finished setting up the talisman array stood in front of the Apricot Grove Medical Center again, and Xuan Yunzi nodded.

"With such a talisman array, once activated, even if the demon wants to resist, it may not be able to withstand it…"

Yunzhen said in a low voice: "However, we must also be wary of the demon deliberately deceiving that layman… Perhaps that layman is trustworthy, but maybe the demon is deliberately saying that, just to make us relax our vigilance."

Among the crowd, Lin Yu heard what Yunzhen said, but did not refute it.

After a brief explanation, Yunzhen and Xuan Yunzi did not hesitate too much.

"Master Ancestor, please preside over this talisman array, and I will lure the demon out."

Xuan Yunzi said, and Yunzhen nodded, placing the long banner that had been carried on his back in front of him.

"Just do it, the talisman array is presided over by me, and there will be no mistakes."

"Several laymen… I also implore you to help my grand-disciple!"

Yunzhen said, and Xue Xiao nodded.

"No problem."

She drew her long knife and followed behind Xuan Yunzi, followed by Haiou and Gaoshan.

"Let's go."

Lin Yu said, and Li Nian walked with him at the end.

The six people stood in front of the Apricot Grove Medical Center, and this formation attracted the attention of many townspeople.

Xuan Yunzi also stepped forward and pasted a talisman on the door of the Apricot Grove Medical Center.

This was a newly made talisman. Used alone, this talisman had the effect of revealing the demon's form and locking onto the demon's aura.

But placed in this talisman array specially created for Zhu Qiansi by Xuan Yunzi and Yunzhen…

The effect of this talisman was to activate the entire talisman array, connect all parts of the entire talisman array, and lock onto Zhu Qiansi's "array eye"!

"Open!"

Xuan Yunzi said in a low voice, and the talismans that had just been pasted in various corners of Willow Town lit up one by one.

So, just a few breaths later, the gate of the Apricot Grove Medical Center opened.

Zhu Qiansi, whom Lin Yu had met once before, stood at the entrance of the Apricot Grove Medical Center wearing a plain-colored dress.

She had a smile on her face.

"Why are you making noise in front of my medical center?"

Xuan Yunzi said coldly: "Demon, you have been hiding for many days, doing all kinds of evil, and now I am here to capture you!"

Zhu Qiansi looked at Xuan Yunzi and smiled again: "Daoist priest says I am a monster, but is there any evidence?"

"Of course there is!"

Three talismans flew out from Xuan Yunzi's arms, self-igniting in the air and turning into a puff of green smoke that pounced towards Zhu Qiansi.

Those green smokes, like revealing powder, outlined a terrifying spider phantom behind Zhu Qiansi.

"Demon, I already know your true form, don't resist stubbornly, quickly surrender!"

Zhu Qiansi looked at the phantom behind her, and her face suddenly turned cold: "Since that's the case, then there's nothing to say!"

Saying that, countless spider silks suddenly shot out from her sleeves, most of them rushing towards Xuan Yunzi.

A small part bypassed Xuan Yunzi and attacked Yunzhen, who was holding the long banner and chanting.

"Don't even think about it!"

Xuan Yunzi said, and the clear qi in his hand surged, blocking all the spider silk, but the old Daoist's face also turned red, seeming extremely strenuous.

"Daoist priest, don't panic!"

Gaoshan and Xue Xiao attacked Zhu Qiansi from the left and right, and Haiou also began to support from the side, constantly interfering with Zhu Qiansi with spells.

With the addition of the three, Zhu Qiansi's pressure doubled.

But Zhu Qiansi was not without a backup plan.

The spider silk in her hand moved, and at this moment, the passing residents of Willow Town suddenly turned their heads and looked towards the Apricot Grove Medical Center.

The next moment, these townspeople… the entire townspeople of Willow Town, surged towards here like an out-of-control tide.

The pressure brought by the crowd instantly reversed the situation again, and Xuan Yunzi repeatedly threw out talismans to isolate the impact of these people.

At the entrance of the Apricot Grove Medical Center, Lin Yu, who was pretending to be fighting and twisting around with a few strands of spider silk, looked at Li Nian, who was also dodging spider silk attacks and actually doing nothing, and spoke unexpectedly.

"Aren't you even going to act a little?"

Li Nian looked at Lin Yu and pouted: "Aren't you the same…"

She deliberately sold a flaw, taking advantage of the gap of being knocked down by the spider silk, and fell towards Lin Yu's direction.

"Ouch!"

Lin Yu took advantage of the situation to catch Li Nian, knowing that she wanted to take the opportunity to talk to him, so he lowered his voice and said.

"Did you see it?"

Li Nian looked at Zhu Qiansi: "Of course… that guy also knows very well that these people already know the fact that she is 'cooperating', right?"

"Sister Zhu Ming, sometimes you are really scary… Although you don't seem to like planning and scheming very much, but once the situation is too complicated and requires calculation, you can always arrange this kind of situation that makes people feel fearful just thinking about it. It was the same in the train that time," Li Nian said in a low voice, and then added, "This time it is also… Now both sides think that they are the ones who know the most truth, and they are trying their best to hide the fact that they 'know' and act…"

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I'm doing this is too dangerous, or are you blaming me for not telling you in advance?"

"No, I just want to say… you are really handsome," Li Nian gently pinched Lin Yu's forearm, "Of course, I do mind that you didn't tell me this—so, how did you convince that Zhu Qiansi to believe you? Didn't she suspect that you would play it for real and kill her?"

"Of course, it's because she has absolute confidence in herself…"

Lin Yu said softly: "As I said, the law of cause and effect is too heaven-defying. In this 'Illusion of Causal Threads', she is confident that even if I plot against her, she is not afraid."

"And… there is a initiative that is always in her hands."

Lin Yu said, and Li Nian was a little curious: "What initiative?"

"The initiative to let us clear the level and leave the Prison Mountain Realm."
