Yayu: Keep talking, I'm taking it all down

Although Lin Yu initially didn't believe that he could really cooperate with the "Diviner" as "Schreiber," and that the "Diviner" would really completely let go of his prejudices and stop regarding "Schreiber" as a thorn in his side.

How could that be?

Relationships driven by "interests" will naturally dissipate once the "interests" end.

Lin Yu had no intention of providing the "Diviner" with "favorable options" in the long term.

But...

Even with this expectation, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel somewhat emotional upon hearing the "Diviner's" words about dealing with "Schreiber" after the event, as a "Yayu".

"Although it's only a 'Tier 1' level, because it chose the right side so perfectly and is deeply trusted by its direct superiors, this 'Yayu' identity already counts as having infiltrated the core power circle of the 'Marauders'..."

As Lin Yu sighed, the "Celestial King" jumped off the altar, walked up to the "Diviner," and slapped Diviner on the back.

"What did you do?" the Diviner. "... You spent so long setting things up in the Prison Mountain Realm, only to have it all ruined by the 'Feng Shui Master'!"

The "Diviner," listening to the Celestial King's words and observing his presumptuous actions, shrugged. "Didn't you hear what I just said? These arrangements in the Prison Mountain Realm... were made to make it 'fail'."

"While it wouldn't be bad to let me release 'Gan Duo,' it wouldn't hurt to make them fight tooth and nail to stop me... The Emperor has now been completely pushed to my side."

"Gan Duo and the Emperor, one of them will eventually become my ally."

The Celestial King said unhappily, "This is what bothers me even more—according to that 'Schreiber,' what you really want to see is the killing of the 'Grandmaster' and the 'Feng Shui Master' in the Shenzhen, and the use of the 'Emperor' to severely damage the power of the 'Order' and the 'Night Watcher's' higher-ups..."

"Why did you hide this purpose from us?" the Diviner. "Do you think I would object to your plan to cause such a scene?"

As the Celestial King spoke, the Diviner slowly replied, "I know you won't object, but... the more people who know, the less likely 'Order' and 'Night Watcher' will take the bait."

"After all, for the 'Emperor' to be willing to take action, he needs to realize that the existence of so-called 'positive organizations' like 'Order' will indeed hinder his actions," the Diviner said, picking out a strand of hair stuck in the silk covering his blindfold with his little finger. "But for him to take action, mere 'willingness' isn't enough... He can descend into the Real World and exert influence, but now that the Divine Realm is shrouded in the influence of 'Sealing Rule,' there's only one way."

"That is to utilize the characteristics of the 'Death game' —however, to achieve this, it is necessary to get those 'Order' and 'Night Watcher' 'Tier 4' members to spare no effort in their actions."

"If they had realized this beforehand, and if the likes of 'Grandmaster' and 'Tengshe' had chosen to outmaneuver us instead of 'annihilating' us when faced with our attack... then my plan would have been severely hampered."

"That's why I was willing to let 'Schreiber' swagger away... because making the situation even more 'chaotic' is entirely in my favor."

The Celestial King nodded. "I understand... but how exactly did you utilize the characteristics of the 'Death game'?"

The Diviner smiled but remained silent.

The Celestial King sighed, "Another secret? I've really fallen for your nonsense, Diviner... I'm about to risk my life for you, and you're still keeping it a secret."

"Never mind, it's not the first time anyway."

As the Celestial King spoke, he lifted his skirt and raised his foot, preparing to kick the Diviner, but this time he missed.

The Diviner stepped aside and said gently, "I'll leave the rest to you... But after this, among the 'Player,' there will be nothing left to stop me, nothing left to stop the 'Marauders.'"

"This childish, harmonious atmosphere, like a game of 'house,' built up by 'Order,' 'The Night Watcher,' and other organizations that support them... it's time to end it."

"It's time to wake up those 'Player' and let the 'Death game' return to its proper atmosphere."

The Diviner spoke with a smile, and the Celestial King breathed a sigh of relief, a bright smile appearing on his face as well.

"Me? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Liu chimed in from the side, "Seriously, is it really okay for an 'outsider' like me to hear all this?"

"Hey, Diviner... you're not planning on 'killing me to cover your tracks,' are you?"

The Diviner looked at Liu and said gently, "Of course not, respected Ms. Yin... You are a guest invited by 'Ling Xian' to help, so in a sense you are a guest. No matter what, I would never be rude to a guest."

"Honestly... at this crucial juncture, offending a 'Tier 4' expert, especially one with a clear path to success, is not a wise move."

"You should be able to understand that I am a very rational person—although the 'Marauders' organization may have some radical undertones, as its leader, I am capable of making correct and rational decisions."

The Diviner smiled, and Liu put his hands in his pockets. "You really are like that," the Diviner said... "Well, in a way, that's actually reassuring."

"So, as long as you don't have a conflict of interest with us or stand in our way," the Diviner said, sizing up Liu, "We have no reason to be enemies, do we?"

Liu looked at the Diviner and tilted her head. "But... what if I said I would be in the way?"

She asked very seriously.

The Celestial King looked at Liu: "Hey, Liu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Liu stretched out his hand and pointed at the Diviner: "He just said that he plans to completely overturn the situation among the 'Player'... According to my rudimentary understanding, your 'Marauders' plan is probably to create a chaotic, distrustful atmosphere among the 'Player,' where everyone Mutual Attack, prioritizes their own interests, and there are no Principles or constraints..."

"In that case... where should I go to take orders?"

Liu asked earnestly.

The Celestial King narrowed his eyes. "Then it seems your reasons for objecting are indeed quite valid... But, to be so frank now, do you not want to leave here?"

Liu shook her head.

"No... Although the 'Diviner' is here, he can't stop me from leaving—if he were in good condition, I certainly wouldn't dare say that, but Diviner, you must be very weak right now," Liu looked at the Diviner, "You said you didn't want to clash with me at this time... is it also because your own strength is currently weakened?"

A'yu couldn't hold back any longer. "How dare you talk to Brother Zhan like that? Liu, even if you are indeed a 'Tier 4', you don't really think that Brother Zhan can't beat you just because he suffered a minor injury and went blind, do you?"

"Besides, Sister Celestial King is still here—although I respect your previous help to us, whether it was to keep a promise or something else, at least you did turn against 'Order' for Sister Celestial King's sake, which is something you genuinely did..."

"But that doesn't mean you can talk nonsense just because of that one incident."

Liu looked at A'yu, not annoyed at all. "I'm sorry, A'yu, I don't think the Diviner is no match for me right now, and I'm not talking nonsense..."

The Diviner sighed, "A'yu, don't get too worked up... Can you show some respect for 'Liu'?"

"And I'm not blind," the Diviner pointed to his eyes, "I just injured them and need to rest for a while and avoid sunlight."

A'yu thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhan, isn't this just called blindness? It's just not permanent."

Liuli sighed, "Sister Yu, if you had just said 'blind'... that would have been so awful."

A'yu scratched her head. "Oh, sorry... but Brother Zhan, this Liu is also openly opposing us, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

The Celestial King raised his hand beside him. "I support A'yu —I've wanted to fight Liu for a long time... It would be incredibly beautiful and exhilarating if we fought!"

Liu rubbed her temples. "So I'm not saying I want to fight you all right now, to the death. I just want to see him..."

Can you convince me?

"Can I convince you, right?"

The Diviner's words and Liu's voice trailed off, almost as if they were speaking in unison.

Liu was pleased. "Oh, so you really understand what I'm talking about, Diviner."

The Diviner faced Liu, his hands resting on his Bamboo Cane: "Because I originally intended to persuade you..." (Liu)

"What I mean by disrupting the current atmosphere among 'Player' and destroying all Order does not mean I really want to create a primitive jungle where everyone is in danger—nor can I really change the atmosphere among Player to that level all at once."

"The 'Hunter Society' and 'Player Mutual Aid Society' will still exist, you can still freely accept orders, and..."

The Diviner paused for a moment. "You can still further consolidate your 'Contract Authority' —that Authority falling into your hands is something I'm happy to see."

"So, after this is all over, maybe I can... offer you some help."

Diviner spoke, Liu thought for a moment and gave a response.

"I don't usually take 'promises' seriously, at least not as valid conditions... but this time, I'm willing to take the risk."

As he spoke, Liu extended his hand to the Diviner.

"So... my answer to the conditions you proposed is, deal."

The Diviner smiled, took Liu's hand, and gently shook it.

Is there anything else?

Liu nodded. "Yes—I'd like to know, once your plans are implemented, which areas in Shenzhen will be safe?"

"Not for me, but for ordinary 'Tier 3'... well, not exactly ordinary, they're on the list too."

"I've already accepted my next job; it's to be someone's bodyguard."
