Lin Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "What about the other one?"
Zhang Baiyu replied, "Another possibility is that this is just Chen Yuan's routine operation. For a big shot like him, even if he just makes a casual arrangement, it is a death trap for those below him."
He paused for a moment and then said, "I prefer a combination of the two. It is both his instinct to act and the fact that adults are blocking his way."
Lin Yi deeply agreed.
But this has made things a bit complicated.
Lin Yi frowned and said, "Knowing that the other party has the Karmic Death Curse in his hands, and I can't attack him, am I just supposed to watch him make a move?"
"Since Chen Yuan could foresee that I would make a move against Zhao Feng, he could also foresee that I might refrain from doing so."
“If he lets Zhao Feng push him step by step, he can still trigger the Karmic Death Curse.”
"I have to drink one of the two cups of poisoned wine, either way I'm going to die!"
To be honest, Lin Yi hadn't felt this kind of pressure—a death sentence no matter which way he turned—for a long time.
Even when he first entered Tianjun, his strength was far from being substantial, and he faced the Five Saints of the aristocratic families, he never felt this kind of pressure.
The other party hadn't even shown their face, and there hadn't been any real interaction between them, yet they already felt extremely uneasy.
The Academy of the Main Gods is indeed no small matter.
Zhang Baiyu pinched his fingers and said, "The key right now is to figure out the detonation conditions of the Karmic Death Curse. At least Zhao Feng should know the detonation conditions that are obvious."
"I'll try again."
Lin Yi immediately used the World Will Seed to retrieve Zhao Feng's memories again.
Sure enough, there was a new discovery.
"As long as you get within 100 meters of the target, the Karmic Death Curse will automatically lock on and then detonate, killing the target in one fell swoop."
Upon seeing this condition, even Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.
That's way too lenient.
If you are completely unaware beforehand, you could get infected in no time.
After all, who would be so cautious when facing a loser like Zhao Feng, always keeping a distance of more than 100 meters from each other?
Zhang Baiyu said solemnly, "That means that no matter what, you must not let Zhao Feng get within a hundred meters."
Lin Yi nodded: "These are just the obvious detonation conditions. We still need to find out the hidden detonation conditions."
Zhang Baiyu said thoughtfully, "Sir, you probably can't take action against him yourself. How about we, his subordinates, do it instead?"
"Or perhaps we could get a completely unrelated third party involved?"
"Or is it that the other party has become so strict that even an accident involving a third party would be considered one of the conditions for detonation?"
Lin Yi felt a sharp pain in his teeth: "If Zhao Feng gets into trouble, the Karmic Curse will explode on me. If that happens, this situation will be really hard to resolve."
"That possibility is unlikely."
Zhang Baiyu shook his head and said, "No matter how extraordinary their methods are, there will always be traces to follow. It's impossible for them to be completely ignoring basic principles."
"Otherwise, he could have just killed you, sir. There would have been no need to send Zhao Feng in; it would have been redundant."
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief: "That's true."
Zhang Baiyu said, "I will put together a plan as soon as possible and start testing the waters to see how he reacts. You should also be prepared, sir."
Lin Yi nodded: "Understood."
The specific conditions are unclear, and any tentative actions are risky. He must be prepared to retreat into a new world at any time.
No matter how powerful the Karmic Death Curse is, it cannot break through to a new world and achieve cross-dimensional killing.
However, whether they can emerge from the new world again after that is uncertain.
That would be a problem if I were to spend the rest of my life confined to the new world, unable to step outside.
As the two were talking, the shouts from Xintiangong Square grew louder and louder, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, showing a momentum that was only getting stronger.
"I almost forgot about this person."
Lin Yi suddenly had a thought: "Is it possible that we're trying to shift the blame?"
Zhang Baiyu's eyes lit up: "If we design it properly, it might be a good idea!"
now.
A deafening cheer suddenly erupted in Xintiangong Square.
Lin Yi and Zhang Baiyu exchanged a glance, their expressions both showing surprise: "This guy actually showed up on his own initiative?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a figure stood openly in the very center of the arena.
This man was thin, pale, and beardless, looking like a frail, pale-faced pretty boy.
No matter how you look at it, it's a completely unfamiliar face.
Strangely enough, the entire crowd was chanting Lin Yi's name as they faced him!
At this moment, all the people of Tianjun actually believed that he was Lin Yi!
At this moment, the "Lin Yi" in everyone's eyes cleared his throat and spoke openly.
"Since things have come to this, I will no longer hide it. Yes, I am indeed the former steward you mentioned. My original name was Xiao Yin."
The man said sincerely, "This was originally a small matter of my personal privacy. I didn't expect it to cause trouble for everyone. It was my oversight. Please forgive me."
Lin Yi and Zhang Baiyu had subtle expressions.
How dare such an imposter openly jump out in this kind of setting?
Even if he altered many people's memories, isn't he afraid that things will get out of control once Lin Yi himself confronts him in public?
Most importantly, what gives him the confidence to face Lin Yi head-on?
You have to understand that Lin Yi can reason with him, confront and debate with him, but he can also just slap him to death.
Whether you're faking it or not, what's the point of talking nonsense about a liar?
In Tianjun, ultimately, might makes right.
Could this person be so confident that he can withstand a master of the Dharma Formation who is two zhang tall?
Moreover, Lin Yi still has three magic god level experts under his command!
After some calculations, Zhang Baiyu quickly concluded: "It seems that this is also part of the other party's plan. If you confront him now, it will play right into his hands."
"To be precise, he was probably waiting for an adult to step in, which was the core anchor point for him to shape the collective memory!"
"As long as the lord intervenes, his ritual can be declared complete!"
Lin Yi shrugged: "If I don't show up, wouldn't that just let everyone assume he's me, putting me in a lose-lose situation?"
Zhang Baiyu nodded: "That's true."
Lin Yi was speechless for a moment: "Good grief, am I stuck with two bettors today?"
First came the double-ended karmic curse, and now they're creating a double-ended collective memory. It's really bizarre.
Lin Yi's eyelids suddenly twitched.
On the new Tiangong Square, Zhao Feng had already blended into the crowd, moving with the flow of people and approaching the center of the square unnoticed.
To be precise, he was getting closer to Xiao Yin.
At this moment, Xiao Yin was, in his eyes, the real Lin Yi!
Seeing this, Lin Yi said with a playful tone, "That's good. There's no need to shift the blame anymore; he's already gone to find the trouble himself."
