Diviner: I created a fair Instance!
Lin Yu was not surprised that the "Diviner" could push Old Zheng's research forward again.
Although Old Zheng's arrangements on the 36th Island of Mist Island were extremely secretive, even within the "Psychology Society," few people knew what he was doing, and even "Order" didn't have much relevant information...
However, the "Diviner" had far too many methods to investigate and understand Old Zheng's plan.
Back then, Old Zheng relied on the power of the "God of Oblivion" to construct one of the core mechanisms of the "Asylum".
The "Diviner" and the God of Oblivion have a relatively close cooperative relationship in the open cards.
Therefore, it is clear that the "Diviner" has been preparing and planning for this [Instance] in Shenzhen for a long time.
In terms of time alone, the "Diviner" must have been planning this for at least a year.
This is only "real-world time," not including the time he spent in the Ten Realms.
In order to create this [Instance] that can accommodate hundreds of "Player" and forcibly pull everyone into it in reality, the "Diviner" carried out a lot of preliminary work in the Prison Mountain Realm and the Mist Island Realm, and stole a lot of research results from Jian Cunyi and Old Zheng.
This is only the two realms that Lin Yu knows about.
"Therefore, it will be very difficult to break through this [Instance] head-on. Although it seems that he used the 'Living Soul of the Lord of Mist Island' to construct the [Instance], the [Instance] has now been 'approved' by the 'Death game' and can be considered 'officially recognized'..."
"Therefore, we can no longer destroy the structure of this [Instance]; we can only fulfill the 'conditions' he mentioned."
Old Zheng helped Lin Yu analyze the situation.
Lin Yu listened to Old Zheng's analysis and nodded slightly. "Hmm... at least the Clearance Conditions his [Instance] don't seem too difficult to meet. Surviving for 24 hours and killing a life aren't particularly difficult conditions... but precisely because they seem easy to meet, I feel even more strongly that... there must be something else in this [Instance] that hasn't been revealed yet."
After all, he didn't believe that the "Diviner" had gone to so much trouble to create a [Instance] just to make it easy for the "Player" in the Shenzhen to pass through.
Although the "Rule" and "Clearance Conditions" are simple, the external environment will certainly change.
Lin Yu still remembered the information the "Secretary" had once given: the "Diviner's" helpers were not only their "Copper Furnace," but also many high-ranking beings from the Ten Realms.
Although this [Instance] city currently appears empty except for "Player," Lin Yu feels that... it shouldn't remain "empty" forever.
Old Zheng, standing nearby, also hesitated for a moment, then added, "I think so too... Boss, that guy is still up there, he's probably waiting for something."
"Based on my analysis, he should speak up on his own after a while and Xingyi 'further explanations'."
And just as Old Zheng analyzed.
As his words fell, the voice of the "Diviner" echoed again in the sky Shenzhen.
"Alright, everyone... I believe you've already realized that this is a genuine [Instance] recognized by the 'Death game'."
"Where you are now is also a Small World I created, a complete, scaled-down replica of the Shenzhen... Well, the details might be a bit rough, after all, it was quite difficult for me to build it all by myself—a small-budget, one-person production, please bear with me."
"The [Clearance Conditions written on my back are real, valid, and recognized by the 'Death game'."
"You can even get Item rewards and achieve good ratings in this [Instance] -- yeah, you're welcome!"
"The [Clearance Conditions] don't seem too difficult, right? There are even two 'sufficient conditions'; only by fulfilling either one can you 'clear the dungeon,' leave this [Instance], and leave this world."
"Whether you choose to survive 24 hours in this vast and empty city, or kill someone and leave early, is the choice you must make."
The words of the "Diviner" echoed in the Shenzhen, and the entire city was completely silent. Apart from his voice, the voices of other experts had all disappeared.
This was certainly not because they were patiently listening to the "Diviner" explain the Rule, but because... a grayish-white fog was spreading through the city, beginning to obstruct the transmission of sound and light.
Only the position of the "Diviner" seems unaffected; both his voice and his figure remain clearly present.
But that's only what it looks and sounds like—if you really try to feel it, Lin Yu can sense that he can't pinpoint the true location of the "Diviner."
Lin Yu couldn't tell whether the figure in mid-air was the real body or some kind of Projection!
That makes sense... After all, if the figure of the "Diviner" were real, there would probably have been more than ten attacks already.
At the same time, the moment the fog rolled in, Lin Yu immediately activated the [Ancient Notebook] techniques targeting "Oblivion" for himself and Old Zheng.
"Boss, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Oblivion... it's just a fog that can block detection."
Old Zheng reminded him.
Lin Yu nodded. "I felt it too..."
As the fog thickened, the Diviner's voice rang out once more.
"Of course, as you've noticed, the environment is changing—this city may be empty, but I won't let it remain empty forever."
"You've all heard of me to some extent... Everyone knows I'm not exactly a good person in the traditional sense."
"I created this [Instance] not to provide a 'Reward Instance' where everyone can reliably obtain reward [Item]... In this city, some of my 'friends' from the Ten Realms will be coming."
"That's why the [Clearance Conditions] mention 'killing living beings' rather than killing 'Player' —if you can kill those friends from the Ten Realms, you can certainly clear the level!"
As the Diviner spoke, the chaotic energy surging from those black Vortex was becoming increasingly pure.
At the other end of those black Vortex, there are undoubtedly powerful beings from the Ten Realms preparing to descend upon this world through these passages.
"Of course... all the Rule in this [Instance] also apply to me. It's a fair [Instance], and like you, I need to work hard to meet the [Clearance Conditions]."
So, fellow "Player"... Good luck!
Diviner spoke, his entire figure vanished into thin air.
"This is indeed troublesome... I wonder how many 'helpers' the 'Diviner' will have."
Lin Yu murmured.
Old Zheng offered words of comfort, "I don't think there will be too many. Considering the design of the [Instance] or rather, the design of the 'Trial', and taking into account that the 'Diviner' doesn't really want everyone to clear the dungeon, but rather wishes that all the 'Order' and 'Night Watcher' guys would die here, then from this perspective, he can't possibly let too many Living Beings from the Ten Realms in."
"Otherwise, if we let a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp in, the 'Grandmaster' could cripple a dozen or so and hand them over to the 'Order' members to finish them off, and 'Tengshe' could kill a dozen or so to finish off the 'Night Watcher. In the end, both' Order's and ' Night Watcher would all run away beforehand, and his plan would fall through!"
"So most likely... the number of helpers he found won't be too many, at most ten, or fifteen... Hmm," the "Diviner" wasn't stupid, this was the 'optimal solution' relative to him.
Lin Yu sighed, "But on the other hand... the helpers recruited by the 'Diviner' are definitely not of poor quality; each one should be at least Demigod."
"However, there is also the worst-case scenario... The Diviner has found a large number of high-quality helpers who can intervene in battles between 'Tier 4' beings."
"If there were hundreds of Demigod- level combatants... then the situation would be dire."
As Lin Yu spoke, Old Zheng raised his hand. "Boss, you're overthinking it. Even if you combine the strengths of Ten Realms, it's impossible to gather several hundred Demigod- level combatants... Moreover, those who can be persuaded by the 'Diviner' to become his helpers are even fewer."
"This guy's reputation isn't just bad in real life; he's infamous throughout the Ten Realms."
Lin Yu nodded. "I'm just preparing for the worst... but it really can't be that bad."
"However, having a dozen or so high-level combatants join his camp as his support is enough," Lin Yu sighed, "Because I don't believe he would truly engage in a 'fair duel'... Although the [Clearance Conditions] apply to everyone, he created this Venue, and the Living Beings from the Ten Realms who are about to enter the current city were also recruited by him..."
"Anyone with a brain would know that the 'Marauders' Player and the 'Order' Player in this [Instance] are facing completely different difficulties—especially those few that the 'Diviner' most wants to eliminate."
"If I were a 'Diviner,' I would immediately lead all the 'Demigod' to hunt down any lone 'Tier 4' beings..."
Lin Yu paused for a moment after saying this, then realized what he meant.
"Oh no, Old Zheng... I need to get the 'Order' and 'Night Watcher' 'Tier 4' members together right away—no, I mean 'Tier 4' and 'Tier 3'... Everyone needs to gather together in one place."
As Lin Yu spoke, he tossed Hannah out, allowing Hannah to render Old Zheng invisible. He then pushed open the bedroom door and headed back to the bathroom.
When Li Hua saw Lin Yu walking over, she took off her earmuffs.
"Did you ask anything? What exactly is this [Instance]?"
Lin Yu nodded. "Yes, I've learned a few things, I'll tell you the details later... Right now, our top priority is to gather our manpower and get everyone together in one place... The 'Diviner' is most likely planning to take us down one by one!"
Li Hua looked at Lin Yu and took out a [Soul Gold Brooch] from his jacket pocket.
"Don't worry," Director, I sensed this possibility when the "Diviner" spoke and the mist rose.
"Before I left, I already used 'Good Night' to pass on the order to assemble!"
