Lin Yu often used the tactic of fooling people with "the truth" in his scams. On one hand, it was a more sophisticated trick that was difficult to see through. On the other hand...
Many of Lin Yu's [Items] also had synergies with his use of "the truth" to deceive people.
The "Tooth of Prophecy" in [Sweet Words and Flattering Looks], [Narrative Trick], and also...
[One-sentence Lie Detector].
Of course, this was already an upgraded version from the Night Valley Realm. Its [Item] name had changed to [Three-Minute Lie Detector], and its functions had become much more powerful.
But no matter what, its essence as a "lie detector" had not changed, so it could still cooperate with him as usual.
Starting from the first [Instance], Lin Yu had used the Lie Detector to put on a "performance" that used the truth to corroborate his lies.
Now, when he took out the Lie Detector, he even felt a certain sense of familiarity with it.
"This is a 'Lie Detector'... I don't think there's anything that could prove my words aren't false better than this, right?"
Lin Yu shook the Lie Detector, and Almond frowned.
"You say it's a Lie Detector, so it is one? Why should I believe you?"
Lin Yu calmly said, "Of course, my saying so doesn't count... So, Sister Frost, why don't you verify whether this instrument is genuine?"
As he spoke, Lin Yu tossed the Lie Detector to Cheng Shuang.
Cheng Shuang reached out and caught the Lie Detector in midair, then fiddled with it in her hand.
Afterward, Cheng Shuang looked at Lin Yu. "This thing from the Night Valley Realm does indeed have an inscription for 'distinguishing truth from falsehood,' and its level isn't low."
She then looked at Almond. "It should be reliable."
