Martial Arts Performance

The notary did not appear at the Healing Place from beginning to end.

This so-called "notary" was actually Stiller, who had secretly slipped out at Lin Yu's behest.

As Artificial Humans and an "experienced combatant," Stiller is naturally tall and muscular, so it's not surprising that he plays Bloodlust.

The paint on his body was provided by Hannah.

The animal hide, the animal skull, and the beast's bone staff that covered the vital parts were pieces that Stiller had taken from the remains of the two giant beasts Lin Yu had killed the day before and assembled by him.

The fact that Old Zheng was able to "untangle" the chaos for everyone present was thanks to him—"Twenty" had caused the chaos by relying on Item from the "Psychology Society" [Arrogant Tongue].

Old Zheng certainly has a way to break through it.

Although he only had a brain left, he wasn't a proper user of the device after all.

Therefore, it's not entirely accurate to say that the "notary" was played by Stiller.

In reality, the actors who should play it are Stiller, Hannah, and Old Zheng!

Even the notary was a fake, so the scene of "the battle between the Rakshasa and the notary" was obviously just the two of them acting.

With Lin Yu's current strength, even though his physical power is already terrifying, if a notary were to appear...

Lin Yu still wasn't entirely confident he could defeat his opponent.

Moreover, if it were a real fight...

Lin Yu was not confident that he could deliver a fight scene that would "shock" and "convince" those "Tier 2" Player, the Blood Luo and the Barbarians who often fought each other.

Ultimately, his strength couldn't possibly create a significant gap between him and the others on the field—but this fact didn't align with the "Rakshasa" power that Lin Yu wanted to instill in them.

So...

Lin Yu would naturally choose to fake a fight!

With the assistance of Hannah and Old Zheng, plus Stiller, a Close Combat expert, it would be relatively easy to fake a fight that would deeply resonate with the audience.

Although Lin Yu wasn't particularly skilled in combat, he understood Stage, performance, and action choreography!

To fake it, he doesn't need to be a master of combat techniques— Lin Yu's job is closer to that of an "action director."

Lin Yu has also read many books, theories, and biographies related to action choreography as a supplement to his own "acting".

So, with the help of Hannah and Old Zheng, a performance that looked "high-level" enough was presented at the Healing Place.

"It's fortunate that it was a tent with poor lighting conditions, which was like a Stage in itself," Lin Yu sighed. "If it were in a narrow, well-lit place, it would be really difficult to design!"

After all, this impromptu action performance didn't give Lin Yu time to prepare any Item or anything like that.

If the lighting conditions are good, some people with good eyesight might be able to spot the clues.

However, if the terrain is narrow...

If they were to collide with any obstacle nearby, they wouldn't even leave a deep dent. The terrifying speed and force that the two of them relied on to create a "powerful" collision and Hannah's "special effects" to highlight would be completely exposed.

Fortunately...

Everything is perfect!

This "performance" not only aroused no suspicion, but also left a deep impression on every "audience member"!

Lin Yu knew this perfectly well.

Because the evidence is the sheer volume of "belief" that is constantly emerging right now.

Those beliefs empowered Lin Yu, filling him with confidence.

"Ha, it seems I might have a talent for being a martial arts Actor..."

He thought to himself with ease.

Certainly...

All of this performance and Fraud is actually based on one premise.

The notary did not come.

This condition is also why everyone subconsciously chooses to believe Lin Yu's scam without any suspicion.

Even with the two intelligent people, Jue and Nian, Lin Yu didn't sense any "doubt" shaking his lies and Fraud.

The reason is simple: regardless of whether the Player are trying to recreate the inhabitants or not, they can all grasp a very basic logic.

If he's an imposter, wouldn't he be exposed when the real notary arrives?

Therefore, no one would even consider the possibility of "impersonating a notary."

But...

Lin Yu had, of course, thought of this as well.

Or, in a sense, this is the core of his scam.

Everyone assumed the notary would arrive.

But actually...

The so-called "notary" will never come.

The notary will only appear when there are abnormalities or serious violations.

Lin Yu took out a glass jar from his pocket, inside which a small flame flickered.

At the center of the flame, a beautiful Entities crystal core was encased.

He unscrewed the cap of the glass jar, and flames shot up.

"You actually managed to get me out of here... Impressive, Rakshasa!"

The fire spirit named "Shuo" conjured a face and said excitedly.

The gunshots just now were merely a threat and a cover-up.

What actually happened in that darkness wasn't murder...

It's a transaction!

Lin Yu had to thank the fern for laying a good foundation for him: the clever "Liar" habitually Fraud and communicated, which led Lin Yu to learn a very crucial piece of information about the fire spirit.

This creature didn't come here voluntarily; it yearns for "freedom."

In fact, by sheer chance, the fern managed to make the fire spirit "believe" that it could bring him freedom!

Once this foundation of belief is established, regardless of whether Lin Yu has the ability or not, he can turn around and use the abilities of the "Fraudster" to make the truth Make It Real.

As one of the "notaries," Shuo certainly knew under what conditions the other notaries would arrive.

If someone violates regulations, or if the notary dies, other notaries will come to the Healing Place.

However, all violations at the Healing Place are judged and reported proactively by "Shuo," the notary—a fact that Fern had already discovered earlier.

Therefore, Lin Yu made a deal with this spirit.

Although, like Fern, Lin Yu's transactions were still based on "Fraud," for Lin Yu...

The biggest difference between him and Fern is that he can turn "Fraud" into "reality".

By simply using a [Counterfeit] to create a seemingly reliable container, and adding a touch of mystery from his "Rakshasa" identity, Lin Yu was more than capable of completely outmaneuvering this fire spirit that claimed to possess "ancient Wisdom."

The negotiation between the two didn't even take Lin Yu long—in the darkness at the time, Lin Yu simply stated his terms and settled everything.

"If I can ensure that no other notaries arrive and that they believe everything is normal at the Healing Place, I will take you away from here—what do you say?"

"Make a deal!"
