The method Lin Yu used to deceive the "Marauders" experts was actually not complicated.

What he used was [Narrative Trick].

Lin Yu now possesses numerous methods to interfere with others' minds and perceptions, at the level of Mental Power and soul... all of which allow Lin Yu to achieve the goal of making others "ignore their existence."

However, it was precisely because he used so many similar methods that Lin Yu increasingly felt the power of the [Narrative Trick] as a [Item].

The effect of this [Item] is beyond just being described as "powerful"; in some ways... it's even a bit bizarre.

One of the [Professional Item] designed for the "Unique Profession" "Fraudster" in "Death game", [Narrative Trick Sweet Words and Flattering Looks is actually the most independent in function compared to the three [Item] that are more compatible with the "Fraudster's" "basic ability" of [eloquence], [Tower Scam], and [Gossip Can Melt Gold].

Although it can also be used in conjunction with the "Fraudster's " "Make It Real" ability and has strong synergy with the other three [Professional Item], Lin Yu mostly uses it to create synergies with other [Professional Item]...

However, it works very well even when used alone.

The most bizarre thing about this [Item] is that it alters other people's "perceptions" without leaving any trace.

Whether these actions are performed using Mental Power, soul-related spells, or Fang Techniques, they will leave a "trace" in a person's brain or soul.

The energy fluctuations generated, the aftereffects left by spells... all have traceable origins.

Even powers at the level of Authority, such as the influence of the Authority of "Oblivion," can be traced back.

But [Narrative Trick] won't.

The Cognitive Interference it causes to the target object leaves no trace and cannot be traced back to its source.

Even a powerful "Diviner" cannot understand what interfered with their cognition and thinking—in fact, most people cannot clearly perceive that there was a problem with their "cognitive level."

The fact that the Diviner was able to react so quickly shows that his "perception" and "thinking" had been disturbed, which is quite remarkable considering his intelligence.

This is the effect of the [Item] produced by the "Death game" itself. Just as the "Scholar's" analytical information is necessarily correct and understandable, and the "Doctor's" [syringe] directly aggravates injuries—the "Death game" will directly apply the "results" in a way that is almost "generated" and does not follow any world Law.

Knowing that the "Yayu" was only at the "Tier 1" and its "Profession" was "journalist," the first thing the Diviner naturally thought of was...

Gray Domain!

Only in Gray Domain can such methods exist.

This was also the result of Lin Yu's deliberate guidance.

Hearing the "Diviner's" words, he shook his head, looking confused. "What is the 'Gray Domain'? I don't know..."

"It's just my 'talented' ability."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, the Diviner became even more convinced.

"So that's how it is. It's not about being 'chosen by the Gray Domain,' but rather a benefit gained from just entering the Gray Domain," he murmured, then continued, "You said this is a 'talented' ability, what's that all about?"

Lin Yu explained, "Simply put, it's probably because I spend too much time in the wild and observe animals for extended periods... so I know very well how to conceal my presence."

"I knew how to slow my breathing, how to dilute my hormone levels and scent, how to blend into my environment... These were initially just techniques to prevent animals from becoming hostile or fleeing because of my presence, but after joining the 'Death game'..."

"Throughout the Ten Realms, these skills were further enhanced and eventually awakened into a kind of 'talent' within me... reducing my presence. Now, it's like the command to raise my arm... I can do it naturally."

Lin Yu explained.

The Diviner stroked his Bamboo Cane with his fingers, his voice gentle. "But if I'm not mistaken... you must have entered a [Instance] that wasn't one of the Six Realms of the Ten Realms, and most likely a solo [Instance] or a [Instance] where you didn't encounter anyone else, before you fully mastered this special ability, right?"

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised. "That's true..."

He feigned realization. "So, this is what you meant by the 'Gray Domain'?"

The Diviner nodded. "Yes, this is what I meant by the 'Gray Domain'..."

"However, this explains why you can freely gather information near 'Order' without being detected," the Diviner mused. "Because of this unpredictable ability, and the fact that you are a 'Tier 1,' 'Order' truly has no good way to guard against you."

And at this point, the Diviner naturally drew his own conclusion.

The conclusion has been reached... the judgment and conclusion that Lin Yu most hoped to see.

"So, your intelligence is basically reliable, and... you can continue to gather intelligence using this method."

As a pragmatic Diviner, this is the conclusion that would naturally be reached!

If an instrument can operate and function, even if you don't know how it works or even if it doesn't seem like it should be able to operate, then don't touch it.

If the "Yayu's " current actions bring benefits to the "Marauders"... then let her continue to act as she pleases.

And...

The Diviner's statement actually conceals a judgment.

That is to say, "Yayu" is only a "Tier 1" and a newcomer who has just joined.

For the "Diviner," these are pawns that they wouldn't feel too bad about "sacrificing" even if they were to be "discarded."

In other words... even if the "Yayu" falls into the hands of "Order", he would absolutely accept it.

On the contrary, letting her continue her "risky" activities could actually ensure the smooth progress of the operation in Shenzhen, even if it only contributes 1%, which would be a huge win!

From the perspectives of "expected returns" and "risk assessment," the Diviner has no reason not to do so.

Even...

Since this guy was even able to deceive him just now, the Diviner couldn't help but have a brand new idea.

"However, if you have that ability, then besides 'Order'... there's someone else I'd like you to keep an eye on."

As the Diviner spoke, he raised his left hand, flipped his palm in the air, and held Daoist Talisman between his middle and ring fingers.

With a slight flick of his wrist, the yellow Talisman Paper spontaneously combusted, transforming into half a traditional Chinese ink painting in the air.

It was a portrait painting of a handsome young man dressed in white, with his hair tied in Hunyuan Bun, and a bright red birthmark on half of his face.

"If you see this guy, or hear anything about him, please keep an eye out for him," the Diviner said with a smile. "His name is Jian Cunyi, codename 'Feng Shui Master'... Although he's not part of 'Order,' he's still a major concern for me."

Before Lin Yu could even agree to what the Diviner had said, A'yu started clamoring.

"Hey, hey, hey... Brother Zhan —are you really going to send Yayu to keep an eye on that 'Feng Shui Master' guy? He's a 'Tier 4'! And a 'Tier 4' that's even higher in rank than the 'Celestial King'!"

"I admit the Yayu is very powerful, but she's only 'Tier 1'... Wouldn't sending her to do this be too much of a death sentence?"

A'yu said with some concern.

The Diviner shook his head. "The 'Feng Shui Master' can't catch her... Her ability to hide is more than just 'skilled'—just now, when the Celestial King and I were intentionally looking for her, we completely overlooked her presence."

"In this respect, she has almost reached the level of the Chosen of God the God of Oblivion."

Diviner spoke, A'yu remained worried. "What? Brother Zhan, didn't you just find the Yayu with your Compass?"

"Among the Ten Realms, there is only one [Gold Seeker]," the Diviner said, toying with the Compass in his hand. "I know what you're worried about... Feng Shui Master do have some methods for finding people, and they are also strong in perception, but I can judge... he couldn't possibly see through the 'Yayu's' disguise."

"Besides... Yayu might not be able to find a 'Feng Shui Master,' I just asked her to keep an eye out," the Diviner said helplessly. "You, don't forget, we're 'Marauders' here... don't underestimate this girl under your command who can start a war in the Nether Void Realm."

"At the very least, you should have asked for her opinion, shouldn't you?"

Diviner spoke, he turned his head towards Lin Yu.

"What do you think... Yayu?"

Lin Yu looked at the Diviner and whispered, "Okay, but I want to ask... what benefits would I get if I could find out his whereabouts and learn about him by monitoring that 'Feng Shui Master'?"

Lin Yu asked directly.

The Diviner laughed, "I really like the way you talk; you were born to be a 'Marauders'!"

"Yayu, if you can really find the 'Feng Shui Master's' whereabouts and know his next move, I can make you the Branch Director of any city!"

"At the same time... I will give you one of my existing [Item] as a reward -- or any [Item] that has already appeared in the Ten Realms. As long as its whereabouts are confirmed, I can get it for you!"

The Diviner spoke with great ease.

Hearing this, A'yu had no further objections. Instead, she looked at Lin Yu with excitement. "Wow, Yaya! You have a chance to be the Branch Director!"

"That's great... As for that [Item], I recommend you choose the [True Mantra Banner for Dispelling Illusion and Eliminating Evil]!"

The Diviner sighed.

"A'yu, that banner is my [Exclusive item]..."

The Celestial King said, "Then you choose the [Soul Severing Blade]. I'd like to see how he gets his hands on it."

The Diviner sighed, "Are you crazy, Celestial King?"

The Celestial King frankly stated, "I'm not sick. I just want to see you fight the Grandmaster for the fifth time, Brother Jing."

"I'll open another betting pool with Ling Xian then—this time I'll bet you'll lose and win back everything I've lost!"
