Lin Yu: Revenge on Schreiber? Count Me, Yayu, In Too!
After the "Diviner" analyzed the relationship between "Schreiber" and the "Director," he clearly felt that he had regained control.
After all... the psychology of a "Diviner" is also reasonable.
"Although 'Schreiber' discovered my hidden accomplice 'The Emperor' and knew that my goal was to eliminate a large number of 'Order' members and experts on 'Order's' side, especially 'Tier 4' experts... I have also seen through his greatest secret and reliance—he and 'The Director' are in a life-and-death relationship."
According to the Diviner, the two have reached an even match in terms of intelligence.
Therefore, it is certain that the one who is already more powerful and influential still holds the dominant position.
"So... Schreiber, since you know I have the 'Emperor' as an accomplice, and have most likely witnessed his prowess through the 'Director'..."
"Then you should understand now that what I call 'failure' in the Prison Mountain Realm is nothing at all."
The Diviner's voice drifted over from afar.
"I've always liked to plan things out 'perfectly'—not that I can devise a plan that's guaranteed to succeed; such plans don't exist."
"Especially now that so many eyes are on me, and so many people are trying to obstruct me, it's practically impossible for my plan to be implemented and carried out smoothly."
"I just like designing things that... allow me to achieve some of my 'secondary goals' even if my 'primary goal' isn't achieved, or if it's thwarted or sabotaged."
There is no one in the world who can plan without making a mistake, but there is a way to achieve a situation where one can gain from both sides.
No one can never lose, but you can turn every "loss" into a "win-win" situation...
"Today's strategists, when planning strategies, should read more works based on modern mathematical structures, such as Game Theory and Probability Theory, rather than ancient classics like 'The Art of War' —they are more precise, more ruthless, and more rational."
"In the end, those who believe in justice or uphold their principles will not be the ones who win in this world... They are the strong and the wise. Reality never favors noble character; behind every 'chance' lies a lack of precision and ruthlessness in the planning."
"Schreiber, you're a smart man; you should be able to understand what I'm saying."
The Diviner paused, then continued, "So, whatever your purpose in coming to me... I now sincerely invite you to join me."
"Join my plan in Shenzhen —stand with me, stand with the 'Marauders' —as long as you're willing to help me attack the 'Order's' people, I'll consider you my friend and Partner."
Diviner spoke, his tone even became gentle and polite, as if sincerely inviting an old friend he had known for many years to join his team.
Old Zheng listened to the Diviner's words, pondered for a moment, and finally whispered.
"But, 'Diviner,' I don't need friends."
Within the Formation, the Diviner's voice, tinged with amusement, rang out. "Is that so? Then you're prepared to become my enemy? To stand on the opposite side?"
"That was a courageous and unexpected answer... How should I put it, I'm starting to admire you!"
Old Zheng shook his head. "Then don't misunderstand, I don't want to be your enemy... From the beginning, I've had no interest in taking sides—don't forget, I'm the one who inherited Freud's legacy."
"I'm different from that Second Generation 'Freud.' I'm not just someone who uses his name and misinterprets his intentions. I inherited his [Item], his abilities... and I truly inherited his will."
"So, if you want to kill the 'Player' on the 'Order' side, I have no objection; if the 'Order' side wants to turn around and eliminate you, I have no objection either."
"If I had to say... I approve of your plan—in fact, I could say I'll help you—I'll ensure your plan goes smoothly, that you can wage an unprecedented war against the 'Emperor,' right here in this Shenzhen... You true powerhouses can set aside your fears of the World Will, fight and battle, be refined by fire, and be sifted through the sands of time!"
"I hope that one of you will become a true super strong person, or that one of you will find your own path in Desperate Plight."
Old Zheng spread his arms slightly, somewhat excitedly saying, "How could I possibly stop you from this 'Trial'? How could I possibly disturb your enjoyment?!"
Then, before the Diviner could speak, Old Zheng immediately raised his hands even higher, making them completely flat, and whispered.
"But I won't hide it from you... 'Diviner,' perhaps once your battle begins, I won't act in a way that pleases you."
"I will definitely... intensify this battle, exacerbate the chaos of this melee, and give both sides the fairest 'Trial,' stirring up storms and adding fuel to the fire!"
"If you don't want things to spiral out of your control... you'd better try keeping me here—either you do it yourself, or you get your lackeys and cronies from the 'Marauders' to do it..."
As Old Zheng spoke, he pointed to "Celestial King," "Liu," and "A'yu" with both hands, his deep eyes behind his glasses sparkling with energy.
"Try to keep me here, try to find my true form; it's not too far from here!"
"Otherwise... I will definitely throw the whole situation into complete chaos, plunging it into a state of unpredictable confusion!"
Old Zheng's almost blatantly provocative attitude nearly simultaneously enraged Celestial King, Liu, and A'yu.
"That shark arm is insane," A'yu grinned and said, "You really think that's Doppelganger that Brother Zhan can't find you? You filthy rat!"
The Celestial King and Liu Ye both had cold expressions and remained silent.
But...
The Diviner's words rang out again.
"Schreiber, I won't try to get you out... On the contrary, you said you'd make things even more chaotic, and I'm quite looking forward to it."
"After all, in my view... no matter how chaotic things get, they will eventually turn into a situation that benefits me," the Diviner's voice revealed a hint of arrogance. "No matter how chaotic the chessboard or how tangled the yarn, I can see through to the most crucial point..."
Even if Destiny is chaotic and unpredictable, I can still guide it to the ending I desire.
"This is my talent, my power, and what I do best."
"Every 'variable' you add will become an asset to me."
At this point, the Diviner even chuckled easily, "I'm actually looking forward to the 'changes' you can bring... I hope you won't disappoint me too much."
"After all, you already know my goals and my Partner. You should know at least what the 'final battle' will be like."
"I'm even a little curious, after knowing all this, you still think you can inflict a Trial that affects both of us... What gives you that confidence?"
The Diviner smiled and said, "Then you'll have to wait and see," Old Zheng replied, "Diviner."
"Now that I know you'll be bringing in that 'Emperor' and will be targeting the 'Grandmaster' and other 'Tier 4' experts... I'll naturally make thorough preparations and won't let you down too much."
As he spoke, Old Zheng adjusted his glasses. "Well then... so as not to disappoint you too much, I'll hurry up and make the arrangements—farewell, 'Diviner'."
Old Zheng spoke, he lightly snapped his fingers.
This time, Lin Yu did not deliberately ignore Old Zheng's "signals" or embarrass Old Zheng.
The moment Old Zheng snapped his fingers, he put both the [Ancient Notebook] and Old Zheng into the [Item Space].
It looks as if Old Zheng has vanished into thin air!
This shocked both "Liu" and "Celestial King".
"Disappeared?!"
The Celestial King's eyes widened, and an invisible magical force rippled outwards. "They... they left in an instant? Even if it was Doppelganger, this is too outrageous!"
Liu frowned and said, "This 'Schreiber' is indeed very strange... If we have to deal with him again, you'll really have to raise the price."
A'yu was somewhat indignant. "A cowardly bastard... Damn it! I really can't stand him!"
She looked into the Formation and said angrily, "Brother Zhan, why did you let this bastard go?! He's such a despicable guy, he might ruin our plans... And, have you forgotten about Xiao Bai?"
The Diviner's voice did not come from within the Magic Array.
A moment later...
"I won't forget."
The Diviner's voice rang out again—but this time, it came from outside the door.
A'yu looked towards the doorway and then saw a white-haired young man walk in—however, the Diviner's appearance was somewhat different from Diviner.
He wasn't holding Long Banner or Compass; instead, he was leaning on a Bamboo Cane.
At the same time, a blue cloth was tied around his face, covering his eyes.
The Diviner, carrying Bamboo Cane, entered the storeroom and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't worry, A'yu, I've never forgotten what that madman 'Schreiber' did, and I'll never let him get away with it."
"However, being blinded by hatred and acting impulsively is not the best way to Revenge."
"Acting rashly today and destroying this Doppelganger will only make him more vigilant."
"So... it's better to trick him into cooperating first—when the decisive battle in Shenzhen comes, I don't believe this madman can resist showing up in person."
"I want to use him, squeeze every last drop of value out of him, gain his trust, lower his guard... and then, when the time comes, kill him with my own hands."
The Diviner spoke in a very gentle voice.
Hearing this, "A'yu" breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "I knew you wouldn't let him go, Brother Zhan!"
"Count me in when it comes to revenge! After all, Xiao Bai is my good friend too!"
A'yu spoke, the Celestial King chimed in, "Yeah, count me in too."
Liuli spoke up, "White Sand has been good to me too, so I should be counted in as well."
At last...
"Oh, then count me in too."
Lin Yu, who was playing the role of "Yayu" on the side, also spoke up.
