Utilization and Deception

Stiller's acting is in a superposition of being both good and bad.

The main problem is that Stiller has absolutely no idea how to act— Lin Yu had just been thinking to himself.

His opening was abrupt, the setup was contrived, and the lines were jarring. Coupled with Old Zheng's unhelpful actions, everyone in the Healing Place could see that Stiller's words just now were "malicious."

Even those two barbarians were no exception.

But Stiller's acting is also very good... The good thing is that as Artificial Humans and Cyborg of the Truth Company, Stiller can "cheat" in his emotional expression.

He doesn't need any "performance" in terms of emotion, because Stiller can "create" his own emotions.

Just like now, Stiller's voice trembled, his heart raced, and both his Microexpressions and body language revealed genuine tension and unease.

It was as if he were truly recalling a terrible fact that had just happened and had a huge impact on him.

This made even those who had previously realized that Stiller seemed to be saying these things on purpose have a thought in mind.

Could what he said be true?

After all, Stiller wasn't lying at this moment; he was telling the truth, which didn't contradict the fact that he was saying these things intentionally.

He could easily have said he was telling the truth with ulterior motives.

Fern, who hadn't paid much attention to the specifics of Stiller's words, couldn't help but seriously recall the details Stiller had just mentioned.

"A red-skinned, four-armed monster... what is that?"

"To be able to easily kill a Blood Demon, and seemingly in an instant and brutal manner... Even if that Blood Demon was weak, he was still capable of participating in the Glory Festival. Converted to Player level, his strength would probably be at least between 'Tier 1' and 'Tier 2'..."

Thinking about this, Fern became even more concerned.

"What exactly is that thing... a beast? In my memory, there are no beasts of this type in the Black Marsh World!"

As for several Wisdom races, that's even more impossible.

Fern may not know how many kinds of beasts there are in the Black Marsh World, but none of the major races in the Black Marsh World currently have four arms!

Fortunately, there are Native of the Black Marsh World here, and they are very knowledgeable Native of the Black Marsh World.

In other words... the person Stiller is currently asking.

Even the roaring Furnace Fire seemed to fall into thought.

After a long while, the Furnace Fire spoke, its tone somewhat uncertain.

"Hmm... if it matches your description, then I know what kind of being you're talking about."

"But that's impossible."

Stiller said anxiously, "What's impossible? What is it? Tell me!"

As Lin Yu waited expectantly, the Furnace Fire uttered those two words: "Rakshasa!"

As he spoke, Lin Yu curled his lip.

The Furnace Fire certainly knows its stuff.

Of course, anyone in this world with even a little bit of education knows that the defining characteristic of Rakshasa is red skin and four arms. After all, with the existence of the Blood Rakshasa, a "spiritual heritage race," the records of Rakshasa were not erased or turned into legends even after the entire race was captured.

However, in the Black Marsh World, having "educational level" is indeed quite rare.

Take those two barbarians, for example.

"What?! The Rakshasa has four arms!"

"Does their 'four hands' refer to two feet that are also hands, used for walking, or does it mean they have a total of six limbs, and that their feet are normal?"

The two barbarians began to discuss the matter with puzzlement.

Furnace Fire couldn't help but turn around. "Two idiots, of course it's the latter! Rakshasa has two extra arms that grew out from his back!"

"But I can't blame you. Many of the younger generation of Blood Luo don't know these things anymore... Sigh, these young people nowadays..."

The spirit, relying on its age and seniority, sighed a couple of times.

But no matter what...

The weighty word "Rakshasa" still struck everyone hard!

Although they have been gone for so long, not everyone knows about this race that once dominated the Black Marsh World.

However... whether they are residents of the Black Marsh World or Player have visited the Black Marsh World, they must have heard of it.

The might of the Rakshasa, the strongest fighting race that once nearly established a unified nation in this crazy world and enslaved Human Race, Demon Race, and Spirit Race, still resonates powerfully even after a thousand years!

Just two words...

That way, it will resonate deeply.

Whether it's worry, doubt, or even a hint of excitement, it's impossible to avoid having countless thoughts about the Rakshasa.

This is easy to understand—it's like when the news reports "dinosaurs Resurrection." Regardless of people's attitudes towards dinosaurs, even if only one is discovered by chance, probably no one can completely ignore this news!

Lin Yu felt a surge of "belief"—a belief that was completely disproportionate to the importance attached to the news.

However, Lin Yu understood. After all, even if official media reported on the "Resurrection of dinosaurs," Lin Yu probably wouldn't believe it immediately.

I'm not afraid that these people won't believe me; I'm afraid they won't care...

Seeing that Stiller and the Furnace Fire had become the focus of everyone's attention, Lin Yu whispered a few instructions to Hannah.

A few seconds later, Stiller, who was about to continue his performance, paused for a moment and then looked at the Furnace Fire.

"Rakshasa? That's a race that disappeared from this world a thousand years ago. Are you sure?"

Seeing Furnace Fire Stiller, who was clearly the one asking the question, was now directly questioning him, Lu Huo became somewhat impatient. "Hey, do you think I'd mistake you?! The records of the Rakshasa are always professional... Besides, besides, I've even seen them before!"

The Furnace Fire spoke urgently, and Lin Yu beside it breathed a sigh of relief.

"Call..."

This monster was indeed boasting.

At that moment, he realized that the claim of having seen the Rakshasa was a complete lie.

When this spirit claimed to be incredibly ancient, Lin Yu was somewhat worried.

Now it seems...

"Its youthfulness might also be fabricated."

Lin Yu, who had already begun to personally manipulate Stiller using Hannah, immediately devised an even more advantageous line of dialogue.

The next moment, Stiller's eyes flickered, and then he spoke, "Is that so? But as far as I know... the Rakshasa have been gone for a long time, probably even before you were born."

"What a joke! I've existed for tens of thousands of years..."

"Really?"

Stiller turned off the Furnace Fire.

Furnace Fire was speechless for a moment, then said, "A thousand years... a thousand years is possible!"

Stiller remained silent.

Furnace Fire sighed, "Alright, I've only been around for three hundred years, but I really have seen Rakshasa, and that's not a lie!"

Before Stiller could refute, the barbarians all shouted.

"Bullshit, the real Rakshasa have long since disappeared. We haven't seen a Blood Rakshasa in a thousand years."

The Furnace Fire even hotter. "That's just because you guys are too ignorant. Rakshasa are almost extinct—I actually saw one, just a hundred years ago!"

Lin Yu laughed.

"This Furnace Fire is really useful..."

He knew that many people didn't believe him, but that didn't matter...

The important thing is that the water has become cloudy.
