The influence of First Generation Freud's theories and experiments was still growing
After Lin Yu "broke the limits" of the [Ancient Notebook], mastered the ability to create "Information Lifeform" and shape a body for Old Zheng, he rarely separated Old Zheng in the form of a "brain" unless necessary.
On the one hand, Old Zheng gaining mobility and a basic physical body is indeed more beneficial to Lin Yu: Old Zheng, with his long arms and legs, can do a great deal more things.
On the other hand, Lin Yu did indeed sense Old Zheng's desire to regain his body and complete senses... Under these circumstances, Lin Yu was still happy to satisfy his Summoned Creature's needs in this regard.
This can greatly enhance Old Zheng's enthusiasm and initiative in doing things for himself.
And Old Zheng did indeed notice the goodwill that Lin Yu had been showing all along.
So...
Conversely, Old Zheng could also sense that when he was pulled out of his body as his "original brain" even when it wasn't absolutely necessary, it generally meant...
The boss harbors some kind of "dissatisfaction" towards him.
Therefore, even though he didn't know what his boss was going to ask, Old Zheng immediately confessed.
"I really shouldn't have hidden so many things from you that you should know... But you have to believe me, I truly didn't have any intention of concealing anything. It's just that there are many things I don't know where to begin, and there are many things I'm genuinely ashamed to talk about and subconsciously want to avoid discussing—but I will correct this in the future. During this time, I will think about what information I have that I need to tell you but haven't yet, and after organizing it, I will send it to you directly in the form of 'Memory integration'."
Old Zheng immediately gave Lin Yu a clear answer, with a sincere attitude and a solution, a textbook example of how to handle a situation.
Lin Yu was stunned by Old Zheng's words, and then sighed.
"Did you learn this set of words when you were in graduate school?"
Old Zheng was shocked. "Boss is brilliant! You figured that out!"
"After all, you opened your own clinic after starting work, and you didn't have a 'boss' in the standard sense, so you could only get so fluent by talking to your 'mentor'... Of course, it's also possible that you're from Qi Province, so you've been influenced by what you see and hear all the time," Lin Yu said, then reassembled Old Zheng's body. "However, you don't need to overreact. I'm just a little sentimental. In the past few days, or even just a few hours, I've pulled you out for questioning far too many times."
"But this time, I really don't want to ask about what you've been 'hiding'... but rather what I've been forgetting to delve into before."
Old Zheng immediately said, "You say it, boss."
Lin Yu pointed to the window of the bedroom, where he could also see the blood-red words and the word "Diviner" in the sky. "What I want to ask is about the 'Diviner'."
Old Zheng hesitated for a moment. "Well, I really don't know him. Uh, we definitely know each other, but when I say I don't know him, I mean we don't have any 'interaction' with each other."
"The only time I was close to him was when the 'Psychology Society' had just started out, and the 'Marauders' had already been expelled... Then he contacted 'Wundt' through their organization's 'Ling Xian', saying he wanted to discuss some cooperation matters with me. But at the time, I was busy setting up a plan on Mist Island to deal with the Lord of Mist Island. And although he had some fame then, he wasn't as powerful as he is now, so I wasn't interested and refused him."
Lin Yu nodded. "I know you don't know him... Well, this information was quite useful, and it's probably related to what I asked."
Old Zheng asked curiously, "What do you mean, boss?"
"When he approached you during your Mist Island setup to discuss cooperation, could it be that he was actually coveting the 'Lord of Mist Island'?" Lin Yu looked at Old Zheng and said seriously, "The time he went to the 'Mist Island 36th Island' and almost killed both you and me... was to take the 'Living Soul of the Lord of Mist Island,' the part you kept after you killed that Demigod."
"If the 'Diviner' only needs the living soul of a 'Demigod,' he could capture one and skin it himself; there's no need for him to snatch the one from you... Moreover, even if he needs the soul of a Demigod from Mist Island, his own foundation on Mist Island is not shallow, and he can directly contact the 'God of Oblivion.' Snatching you is definitely not the best option."
"Therefore, the only explanation I can think of is... what he needs is the 'Living Soul of the Lord of Mist Island'."
"Considering your research on 'Mist Island' was aimed at finding a standardized, mass-producible 'Trial,' and even the [Instance] I participated in was essentially Venue you created that was recognized by the 'Death game.'"
"And now, as you can see..." The "Diviner" created an artificial [Instance] in Shenzhen, pulling us all into his own 'Copy Shenzhen'.
"I'm wondering if this is related to the 'Living Soul of the Lord of Mist Island' that he took back then."
"Therefore, I need to confirm with you whether the Living Soul of the Lord of Mist Island, compared to other Demigod, possesses any other 'special characteristics' besides being exceptionally vibrant Lord of Mist Island to its own voluntary separation, that would allow you to use its soul for 'mass production Trial's research, and whether the 'Diviner' can also utilize this special characteristic to create [Instance]."
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Old Zheng blurted them out almost without thinking.
"Of course, boss... of course."
"You could even say you've hit the nail on the head—the peculiarity of the 'Lord of Mist Island' lies in the fact that he first stole the entire legacy of the Previous Civilization of Mist Island, allowing him to achieve a certain degree of fusion with the World Will of the Mist Island Realm. Therefore, although his 'Divine Rank' is Demigod, in terms of the true level of life, the Lord of Mist Island cannot be measured according to standard patterns and standards; he must be calculated separately... In a sense, he is even like the Dao Ancestor of the Prison Mountain Realm, only in a more bizarre form, and his actual control over his own world is completely weaker than that of the Dao Ancestor."
"At the same time, on the other hand, a major Authority held by the 'Lord of Mist Island' is Authority that does not belong to the 'Mist Island Realm' nor is it within the Mist Island Realm. He maintains a close connection with a non- Deity, Unclaimed Authority that exists outside the Mist Island Realm, but has not Becoming a God because of it..."
"And the closeness to the World Will, coupled with the power of that special 'Authority,' seems to have allowed the Lord of Mist Island to... gain a portion of the authority to communicate with the will of the 'Death game.'"
Most of the Deity in the Divine Realm can sense the will of the "Death game"... and unlike the "Player," while they are bound by the "Death game," they can also influence and interfere with it.
"In fact, Demigod and Chosen of God can sometimes use the 'Death game' mechanism to give away the [Item] materials they want to give to the 'Player'. You should know this, boss."
Lin Yu nodded; he had indeed encountered similar situations many times.
Old Zheng continued, "And as Deity... they can go even further. Those Deity can even... design their own [Instance] Venue, choosing the 'Player' they want and pulling them into their kingdom!"
"As long as the 'Death game' deems the 'Player' the Deity wish to invite and the [Instance's ] strength are a good match, the 'Death game' will allow it to happen."
Listening to Old Zheng's words, Lin Yu sighed, "I've experienced this kind of thing more than once..."
Old Zheng also looked at Lin Yu, then said, "This isn't surprising, boss."
"In short... Boss, you've probably guessed it already. The reason I used the 'Living Soul of the Lord of Mist Island' to research the Trial of mass production was indeed because I wanted to use its 'Living Soul' to exploit the 'Death game' mechanism."
"Because this 'soul' was deliberately separated from it while it was alive through a scheme, even though it no longer has consciousness, it can still be considered a high-ranking original life form of the Ten Realms in the 'Death game's' judgment."
"Therefore, I can use the residual characteristics within its Living Soul to make it the 'controller' of the Mist Island 36th Island in the 'Death game' judgment, making it the nominal holder of the 'Asylum,' thus turning the '36th Island Asylum' into a place that can be [Instance]."
"My original intention was to directly supervise and urge all the people and volunteers captured inside using the 'Death game,' generating [Instance] through the 'Death game' to force them to complete 'Trial' and 'growth'... If successful, then I would indeed have mastered the method of creating [Instance] as a 'Player' —in fact, I could create [Instance] even more freely than the Deity, since the Deity ' [Instance] require customization and careful selection of subjects, while I only need... quantitative standards to continuously create weekly [Instance]."
"But... as you can see, boss, I still failed back then. I didn't create the [Instance] at the time. The fact that you were able to come to the [Instance] in the Asylum was not actually my subjective intention to create... but rather it was generated by the 'Death game' itself. It just lent me a Venue and even treated me as some kind of 'final boss'."
"Thinking about it this way, perhaps I can't really be considered a failure of the experiment; it's just that I was killed before my experiment could succeed."
Lin Yu listened to Old Zheng's words and thought for a moment, "Then she really made the right choice this time."
"I now think she made the right decision. If I had actually succeeded back then, this 'Final Trial' might have been upgraded to something incredibly terrifying," Old Zheng said frankly. "In short... it seems that my unfinished experiment back then, the 'Diviner,' has taken another step forward."
"Although this [Instance] is definitely not mass-producible, he did create a [Instance] himself as a 'Player' and got the 'Death game' to accept his Rule!"
