Sometimes I Feel Like a Skewer Being Flipped Back and Forth Every Day

"Even if Xie Chong is Zhu Qiansi's Bloodline, why must his body be torn to pieces?"

"Shouldn't you show more respect for this guy's corpse?"

Faced with Lin Yu's question, Chen Yuanye, who had already started talking, paused for a moment and continued.

"More than respecting their bodies, I care about... how to bring Zhu Qiansi and Willow Town Resurrection to life."

"I cannot accept that they died unjustly, and with such a stigma—so I must bring Willow Town and Qiansi back to life," Chen Yuanye said through gritted teeth. "That's why I started taking action after that old dog, the Taiqing Patriarch, died... First, I changed the name of 'Liu Town' to 'Willow Town,' and then I gradually revised the county annals of Liu Town, making its past in people's minds confused with that of Willow Town."

"After that, I began to continuously set up Karma Threads in Liu Town and spread them among the people of Liu Town."

"At the same time... I also ensured that Xie Chong, this descendant of the Thousand Bloodline, Far-Famed both in life and after death—which means that he established connections with most people in the Prison Mountain Realm."

"Until more and more people become connected with Qian Si, reaching a certain number—that is, the fame and number we have today—then we can use Xie Chong's remains to lure them all to the new 'Willow Town'... Then, both Qian Si and Willow Town can see the light of day again through the 'Karma Divine Ability'!"

"A single piece of the remains is safe enough, but two pieces... would be even better!"

Xuan Yunzi exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Everyone in Willow Town died back then!"

"But Qian Si isn't dead," Chen Yuanye roared again, "Just like me—all of their consciousnesses are contained within the Karma Threads by Qian Si—as long as Qian Si is resurrected, Willow Town will be resurrected!"

"So... we're just one step away, all that's left is for Xie Chong's body to reach Willow Town!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu and his two companions, as well as Snowy Owl and his two companions, suddenly understood the meaning of their mission: "To reach Willow Town" and "to prevent Willow Town from appearing in the world."

Lin Yu sighed, "Oh dear... oh dear! We really took a huge detour!"

Li Nian also realized. "So, this [Instance] is actually a very simple attack and defense game centered around 'Xie Chong's remains'... We follow the caravan to deliver his remains to Willow Town, and then Willow Town will automatically appear in the world, and then we've cleared the dungeon."

"Similarly, all those three over there need to do is snatch the body and destroy it, and they'll have succeeded... right?"

Li Nian spoke, Lin Yu nodded sadly.

"Sorry, I messed things up this time..."

Although Lin Yu had gotten used to most of his [Instance] being a bit abnormal, just as Li Nian said, this [Instance] actually had a "normal" and "simple" solution.

He looked at his employer, "Fei Dao," and apologized again. "I'm sorry, I've complicated things."

Fei Dao paused for a moment, then waved his hand. "It's alright, it's alright, I couldn't have gotten through this without you... Maybe this way I can get a few more [Unraveling the Clues] or something... because I'll know the whole Truth now."

"Besides, isn't it easy for us to pass through now...? We have no conflict of interest with this... this surviving senior from Willow Town. We just need to give him the body, and we'll go to Willow Town together. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"

Chen Yuanye nodded and said, "Not bad, it seems there are still some reasonable and intelligent people among you Outworlder!"

His eyes were filled with satisfaction as he looked at the Fei Dao, then he looked at Lin Yu.

"It seems we have no more doubts; let's cooperate then..."

"Bang!"

Chen Yuanye was shot in the forehead and slowly fell to the ground.

Lin Yu put away his revolver and calmly said, "What a load of rubbish. Who wants to cooperate with you?"

Fei Dao was startled. "What are you doing?"

"Of course we should do the right thing—we've gone through so much trouble to find a way to pass the game together, wouldn't taking a shortcut make all our efforts go to waste?"

Lin Yu turned around and looked at the dejected Xuan Yunzi and the dumbfounded Snowy Owl trio.

"You've all been fooled, haven't you? You really think that Zhu Qiansi is innocent— the Taiqing Patriarch killed her 350 years ago, and then 350 years later she can just use 'Karma Threads' to kill people at will? Putting everything else aside... the people from Chen Family Fortress and Jinfu Escort Agency were acting with me, and they deserve to lose their lives to clear the name of a spider?"

"Xie Chong is still her Bloodline descendant, isn't he just unlucky to have such a spider-like great-great-great-grandmother? Oh, everyone's wronging me, so I don't care anymore, I have to betray the world—if this self-righteous traitor had gone straight to the Taiqing Sect and blew up your ancestor, and slaughtered the Taiqing Sect, although I wouldn't support it since the Taiqing Sect members don't seem to know much about it... at least we could say that the wronged have a culprit, right?"

"You bastard!"

The shouts and curses of yet another new puppet came from outside the door.

"Wow, the reconnection was pretty fast, did you hear that?"

Lin Yu sneered as he looked out the door, "Brother, you can fool people, but don't actually believe that you and your master are innocent good demons and good people persecuted by the whole world... They can't tell the difference, but I can hear the subtle writing— Zhu Qiansi was 'kind-hearted' in Willow Town, but what about before Willow Town?"

Although Lin Yu was unaware of what happened back then, he could detect the flaws in the other person's words.

Just as Xuan Yunzi's words were incorrect, even though "Chen Yuanye" said the opposite of what Xuan Yunzi said, it doesn't mean that what he said was correct or true.

"While the Taiqing Patriarch may have sins, the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord isn't necessarily clean either. Your claim that she's lived in Willow Town and had no time to harm people is untenable. A thousand-year-old demon sneaking out to harm people every day—how could you, a town full of idiots, possibly keep an eye on her? Besides, with that Karma Threads Divine Ability, killing people from a thousand miles away is no problem at all— Willow Town has a million people, and seven or eight out of ten are affected by Karma Threads, that's seven or eight hundred thousand—is that enough for a few thousand human souls to use? That skill's cost is way too low... If the cost is really that low, why are you struggling so much to gather human souls for her?"

"Of course... you might be like Xuan Yunzi, who was deceived by his ancestor, and you're just kept in the dark. After all, Zhu Qiansi is a great demon who has cultivated for countless years. To play with a pure-hearted Human Race child like you from a small town would be like playing with a dog."

Li Nian nodded. "If you ask me, this Taiqing Patriarch is really not a problem—just look at all those spiders chasing and biting people all over the mountain just now, what kind of good person could Zhu Qiansi be? At the very least, she must have been having an extramarital affair... Xie Chong, the descendant of a human, looks completely human, but with so many spiders the size of cartwheels, who did she have a child with?"

Lin Yu and Li Nian shouted in unison, until the dark Shadow outside the door could no longer contain themselves. "You two bastards, prepare to die!"

A dark Shadow of figures rushed towards the Daoist temple. Lin Yu held Xie Chong's body aloft and then lit Torch: "If you move another one, I'll set both of these bodies on fire!"

Although Xie Chong's body was extremely sturdy, the Pale Flame in Lin Yu's hands exuded a natural aura of fear, which indeed stopped all the puppets in their tracks.

But Lin Yu knew that this was only a temporary measure to avoid harming the innocent.

He turned around and looked at Xuan Yunzi.

"Still standing there, Daoist Master—what happened to all the methods you've prepared for that Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord over the years?"

"And you three... do you even want to finish the game? If you keep this up, I'm going to switch to Spider!"

Xuan Yunzi finally reacted when he heard Lin Yu say that.

"Right away, right away!"

The old Daoist priest hurriedly took out a pile of Talismans and began arranging them.

The three Snowy Owl also took action, drawing their weapons in preparation for battle.

The Seagull, pulling out its Notebook, sighed and spoke.

"Sometimes I feel like a skewer of meat, constantly being flipped around... Who's the good guy anyway?"

"The world is not black and white; there will always be black and white opposing forces..."

Lin Yu looked at the Seagull and spoke seriously.

Upon hearing this, the Seagull chimed in again, "You mean, there's gray in this world?"

"No, what I mean is, it could also be a case of both sides having problems, a dogfight between two dogs."
