The Magician, Li Yi

Is he Magician?

The first impurity in the four [Destiny] seems to be being sieved out.

Everyone stared at Li Yi with scrutinizing eyes, but Li Yi himself didn't seem surprised that Ji Er had exposed his identity. Instead, he smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

But just nodding made Ji Er's face turn extremely ugly.

Although no one could see how interesting his expression was, they could guess how uncomfortable he was from his momentary pause.

He was outmaneuvered; he was outmaneuvered by the Magician next door.

Li Yi's exposure was intentional; he merely used Ji Er's words to deflate Ji Er's arrogance.

"Yes, I am Magician."

"There is only 'Destiny' in Nothingness,' so it's not wrong for me to say I'm Prophet, is it?"

"So, your prophecies were also false?"

Hilarious! What good is such a clumsy lie besides wasting everyone's time?

Su Wu snorted in dissatisfaction, scoffing at Li Yi's attempt to conceal his identity.

However, Li Yi was not annoyed; he smiled and said:

"The prophecy was not a lie. I had two prophecy cards in my deck, so both prophecies were true."

That's why I'm willing to trust you.

There are few good people in this world, but plenty of bad people.

If I were a good person, I would never believe that I would be ranked among the other 5 good people.

Unfortunately, I'm not exactly a good person, though I don't consider myself a bad one either. So when my prophecy cards told me that you're just like me, I realized that we might be able to work together.

This... brother, using a sarcastic tongue to hide your true nature is quite a clever deception, so are you a Battle Marshal, or...?

"And a Clown?"

Oh wow, here comes the fun.

Cheng Shi is undoubtedly the person who understands the Clown best on the field. He has seen the Clown, played the Clown, and was once a Clown himself.

So when he heard that his old profession was being attributed to someone else, he immediately looked at Ji Er, smiling as he waited for his response.

As the Priest of Deception, the Clown is blessed with the "healing power of lies." As long as he can make others believe that he has the ability to heal through lies and illusions, then this healing power will take effect.

So if we assume that Ji Er is indeed a Clown, a Clown who doesn't Lies Like Yesterday, then his claim that he is Battle Marshal is a public attempt to "trick" others into giving him healing power.

Note that what is being deceived is the healing power of this Daggers, not the Faith in [War].

This kind of lying trick requires a much more demanding trust environment than "The Lies Like Yesterday," and it is far less stable than the healing provided by Priest of other Faith. Therefore, the Clown himself is not a very "qualified" healer.

They bury themselves in a web of lies, drawing only a few slivers of healing power, but this can only provide temporary relief, just like the joy brought by the Clown, which will always be only temporary.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Ji Er just sneered and didn't say anything.

Now everyone started to wonder: were there three liars in this Trials?

Wouldn't that mean there are five "Nothingness"?

The players who had thought of this all looked at... Gao San in surprise.

Yes, they didn't look at Ji Er, but instead looked at the Gao San.

It's quite interesting that someone claiming to be the "Truth" has infiltrated this situation, which is likely "all" Nothingness.

Despite the scrutinizing gazes of everyone, he remained Change throughout his Gao San. He smiled and said:

"Whether you're Prophet or Magician, Battle Marshal or Clown, if we want to cooperate in this Trials, we only have one goal:"

Prison Break!

You all heard what the Magician said: Number 1 and Number 2 will be dragged into a death match, and then it will start with me taking turns on stage.

This is clearly not a Trials about cooperation, but we must understand that since the arrival of the [Faith Game], there has never been a Trials with confrontation as the main theme. So I think the direction of the answer is already clear: we need to break out, and we must break out.

Creating chaos and leaving here satisfies the need for chaos while also freeing oneself. What do you think of this plan?

Otherwise, we will all become each other's enemies.

Ji Er snorted coldly upon hearing this and turned his head away.

In the rules of the Death Sentence, he and Li Yi were obviously going to be the first to clash, but whether it was the Battle Marshal or the Clown, as a Priest he was probably not as good as a Magician in terms of combat power, even if he had a backup plan. The problem was that Magician usually had more backup plans.

Therefore, at this moment, the ones who most want to cooperate in escaping should be the two of them and the Gao San in the order of priority, since the three behind them can be observed for a while longer according to the order.

Thinking about it this way, the advice for Gao San becomes much more reasonable.

But this prison is not so easy to escape.

So when the Gao San finished speaking, Cheng Shi cautiously poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

"The idea was right, but the solution was wrong."

I just found out that the Iron Law Knights are stationed outside the Deathmatch Arena. One of the three Chief Judge has already arrived in Montrani and is watching the performance in this arena.

At this point, trying to escape from prison is nothing short of wishful thinking...

"But it's not entirely without a chance," Li Yi interrupted Cheng Shi and continued, "Don't look at me like that. My deck is mostly filled with honest cards."

?

Cheng Shi's lips twitched, and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

You better not be targeting me.

Magician are a truly magical profession. Under His watchful eye, these Singer can transform their deceptive lies into Playing Card with special effects.

After each person is fooled, a playing card will materialize in their hand, but the specific effect of this card depends on the Magician's talent for Deception.

Other Singer might need to showcase their vocal talents to boost their teammates' performances, but Magician prefer to give out Playing Card instead of singing.

Of course, it's not absolute; it depends on the person.

Li Yi clearly doesn't like singing, so he prefers to label people.

"This time it was another one, the cellmate behind me in the purple prison uniform. He heard the Punishment Knight say that tonight the nobles of Montrani will be holding a unique prison open day event. Many nobles will bring their families here to see how these 'poor souls' who are about to fight to the death prepare for the competition."

It's a really twisted sense of humor, isn't it? But it's very beneficial for us.

If we seize this opportunity and use the nobles' status to create enough chaos to attract the attention of the Iron Law Knights, we might have a chance to leave this place.

Even without any tampering, the guards would naturally become lax the moment the nobles left; this is human nature, and we can take advantage of that.

"You're a liar. Who knows if what you're saying is true or false?"

Ji Er retorted again, but Li Yi seemed to have already guessed his question, so he pulled open his prison uniform in front of everyone.

Everyone looked on in astonishment, only to see a Playing Card with a mouth drawn on it stuck to his chest!

"Honesty card: I'm afraid that too much suspicion will waste our time, so I put an honesty card on myself. How about that, do you believe me?"

If you don't believe me, try tearing this card off and sticking it on yourself. See if your secret will be revealed to you.

Since revealing his identity, Li Yi has taken the initiative in his confrontation with Ji Er. All his actions are so confident and elegant, like a Magician putting on a wonderful show, which Cheng Shi enjoyable.

This is the kind of Magician he envisions: someone who exposes himself to the spotlight yet manages to trick the audience every time.

Ji Er was speechless. He snorted again and lowered his head without saying a word.

After a long silence, Zhao Si looked at Li Yi and said in a deep voice:

What are the plans?

"I do have a plan, but before I share mine, shouldn't you two also share some fresh observations?"

Hmm? The Final Stroke, and this... screenwriter?
