Mutual Plans

After seeing the Crow's mark and recalling all his Memory, Lin Yu now felt that all those movies and dramas he had watched had been worthwhile.

Although I am not a genius, after seeing and playing the role of many geniuses, I can also do some things that seem to be only possible for geniuses.

For example...

Within this "reincarnation" Instance mechanism, a way to "break the deadlock" must be devised.

Despite the hints from the Deity and an unknown Demigod, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little proud of himself when he finally came up with the solution.

"I'm pretty good too."

Of course, the most important factor in the successful execution of this plan was his superb acting skills—when Lin Yu was completely immersed in the role of "Jiang Lin," even the master of the Asylum couldn't see any flaws.

And at this very moment...

Lin Yu proactively ended his Fraud and stood before the mastermind, or even the creator, of this Instance...

This was precisely the result Lin Yu saw first.

Standing at the door of the intensive care unit, "Doctor Li" looked at Lin Yu, whose appearance had changed, and sighed deeply.

"You are much smarter than I thought. If I were in charge of the Psychology Society, I would definitely put you on my priority list."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

Two swivel office chairs with wheels rushed out from the end of the corridor and came to the two people's side.

"Please sit down..." Director.

He sat down in one of the chairs and gestured for Lin Yu to sit down.

Doctor Li's statement can be considered an acknowledgment of all of Lin Yu's analyses.

He was the First Generation "Freud".

So Lin Yu sat down without any hesitation, crossing his arms on his lap.

"I'm glad you're willing to talk to me."

Freud smiled, shook his head, and said, "Wasn't it expected that I would be willing to talk to you?"

"Of course," Lin Yu crossed his legs and adjusted his posture, "You're curious about how I did it... just like I'm curious about how you did it."

Would you mind explaining how this ingenious Asylum works?

Freud nodded.

"As you said, and as you were previously advised... my core technique is separating the soul from the body."

"This was also a tactic I used when I was a 'Player'."

Lin Yu nodded. "The three intensive care wards correspond perfectly to the three of us Player, right...? Each cycle essentially fulfills a condition that allows you to activate your abilities, transferring a portion of your soul, cognition, and Memory to the ward."

"Extremely clever!"

Freud exclaimed, "What a promising talent... no wonder he's valued by the Deity."

Lin Yu looked at Freud, ignoring his praise.

So, why?

"What do you want from us... or rather, what is your purpose in operating here?"

I'm curious about your motives.

As Lin Yu spoke, Freud laughed.

"Because I died as a 'Player'."

Although it was just a short sentence, it was enough for Lin Yu to understand Freud's purpose.

"So that's the simple reason."

Freud emphasized the identity of the "Player" and his current state of being "dead" in a sense.

Only those with a strong desire to survive will enter the Game and become Player.

So...

All he did was, of course, to escape this state of lingering existence and to "Resurrection" himself.

"So, the Player's corpses and souls are very useful to you?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yu suddenly frowned. "Oh, no... it should only be useful for the soul, and only a part of the soul."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have just left those Player's corpses here to make them put on a show."

"There's even a remnant of their souls inside their bodies—that's how you manipulate them."

As Lin Yu spoke, Freud sighed.

"You're being a bit too perceptive—the layout here is definitely too rushed. Player with the potential to regain their Memory, like you, could even see my needs."

"However... I'm still very curious about how you did it—I don't mean you disguised yourself as this girl."

"I've been trapped on Mist Island for quite some time, so I'm not surprised you have the means to change your identity. What surprises me is... how you came up with that idea."

Lin Yu pointed to the door of the Intensive Care Unit beside him. "The first time I saw the soul of 'Robin' that you separated, I was certain that you relied on this method, and that was the only method you could use."

All the Reversal were essentially his manipulation of Memory and the soul.

The bodies and souls of medical staff and other patients have been completely assimilated by him, so he can even bring them back to life—because they are essentially living corpses, like Puppet on strings.

However, even though the soul is temporarily peeled away bit by bit like fruit being peeled during each "reincarnation," the Player still retains its own consciousness as soon as they enter.

"Your methods are too 'reasonable'—like how you just summoned those two chairs."

"This chair was 'called' from the office next door... it didn't appear out of thin air, nor did it materialize out of nowhere."

Lin Yu sighed, "You have some control over this place, but not completely—I can confirm that through too many sources."

"The Deity who can brazenly let his avatar in, and that mysterious self-proclaimed Demigod who gave me the hint."

"You can alter Memory and perceptions, but you can't see through my disguise. There's no way to directly identify a person through their soul..."

"You mostly rely on the perspective of those 'NPCs' to monitor our actions. Even during 'reincarnation,' you can only access a portion of the Memory, not the soul. So I simply gave up using [Closed Mind], actively let my Memory disappear, and told myself not to think about my plans."

"This is a plan I devised to address your weaknesses."

"Remember the Octopus and ninja who were with me at the beginning? They used their complete invisibility to explore the entire hospital, taking routes I had no idea where they would end up."

"So, I found a 'wine cellar' that's outside your control..."

"Using the completely insane 'former dean' there, I replaced 'Robin' — the Robin there was merely an illusion created by 'Hannah' in disguise."

"Then, 'I' died there... I can fool you, and I can certainly fool that crazy girl, even though she's dangerous, she's not smart enough."

"Then, when the 'reset' happened again—just as I expected."

"In the instant I lost my Memory, I activated [Closed Mind], and afterwards firmly believed that I was Robin," Lin Yu said, taking out a "Exit Permit" with "Jiang Lin" written on it. "This hospital, which you don't fully control but operates according to your will, will truly treat me as Robin."

"Your methods all revolve around cognition and Memory, so of course I can take advantage of that."

"As for Stiller... he was trained by 'Truth Company' after all. Although he can't immerse himself like I can, he can still blank out his mind."

Lin Yu spread his hands. "And then... you couldn't resist showing up in person."
