The Desired Action

Lin Yu's acting was excellent, so he could keenly discern the "essence" of "Zhu Qiansi"—a nonexistent "role" constructed by the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord.

The Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord had not constructed this role through "acting." This spider, incapable of understanding human emotions, fundamentally possessed neither "acting" nor "acting skills."

But it had used something resembling "acting," or rather... the primitive form of "acting."

"Imitation."

Lin Yu could roughly guess how the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord had done it... It read other people's pasts through the Karma Threads, then directly selected "reactions" from those "pasts" that fit or closely resembled the current situation, applying them directly to Zhu Qiansi.

Because it had mastered the "pasts" of tens of thousands, or even nearly a million humans by now, that was more than enough to support "Zhu Qiansi" living in Willow Town without revealing any flaws—she was even quite popular.

If she had not encountered Lin Yu, anyone else who came here might have been deceived.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu would not be.

"In a sense, this thing is rather like a big-data learning model..."

"If she really 'consumed' more people—tens of millions—as 'samples,' perhaps even I wouldn't be able to tell whether she was real or fake."

Lin Yu muttered inwardly.

But muttering was one thing. After confirming that the Thousand-Eyed Thousand-Silk Demon Lord truly possessed no emotions at all, Lin Yu could not help thinking about another question.

If the other party possessed human emotions and a thought process approaching that of a human, then there could be many possible reasons for seeking him out—and seeking him out alone. Whether it wanted to resurrect Willow Town, resurrect its younger sister, persuade him, or something else entirely, any of those would make sense.

But...

If it had no emotions, that meant all
