Chapter 1550 The Uses of Radar
For Lin Yu, the Chosen One, the "God of Fairness and Judgment," Er's Blazing Flame, is his greatest asset in continuing to operate within this "Eternal Cage" and in successfully leaving it.
Therefore, Lin Yu had been closely monitoring Earl's condition since the beginning.
He absolutely would not and could not allow anything "wrong" to happen to Earl or any accidents to occur.
That's why Lin Yu just used [White Bone Flowing Light] to help Earl out of trouble.
Because he could sense that... in that instant, Earl's mental and spiritual state had become somewhat unstable.
Although Earl is currently free from the interference of the "Nightmare" authority, Lin Yu does not believe that it is a given that Earl is not affected by the "Nightmare".
Earl clearly exerted some of his own abilities to maintain his current state of lucidity.
If one falls into a state of emotional instability...
I'm afraid Earl will immediately fall into a deep sleep and nightmares, be manipulated by the god of shadows, and become the god of shadows' puppet!
At that time, Earl will immediately turn from his greatest help and reliance into his most troublesome problem.
Of course, fortunately, Earl himself is strong enough!
Originally, Lin Yu had planned that after helping Earl out of the predicament, he might need to use some mental methods to give him some "mental guidance" in order to calm Earl down.
But what Lin Yu didn't expect was...
He had only given Earl a moment to catch his breath and asked him a question, and Earl was able to adjust his state instantly.
"Indeed, those who can become 'chosen by the gods,' especially the chosen ones of established gods, are no ordinary people."
Lin Yu looked at Earl, no longer worried about him, and asked about what Earl had just mentioned: "So, Lord Earl, how should we find the hidden guards?"
Earl looked around: “According to my senses, the person we are looking for is roughly in this area—although the God of Shadows has temporarily taken over the ownership of this eternal prison, I have been the warden here for too long, and the tacit understanding that I have cultivated with this prison over thousands of years... is something that He cannot take away or block out for the time being.”
"Therefore, I can be certain that we are looking in the right direction."
"However... it's impossible for my senses to be completely unaffected, so I can only be sure that the 'Guardian' we're looking for is located within a 500-meter radius around us."
As Earl spoke, Lin Yu fell into thought.
"Five hundred meters... Would the [two-way radar] be useful then?"
Lin Yu asked, and Earl shook his head: "There are too many prisoners gathered here—the [two-way radar] doesn't indicate the specific identity of the person you scan, so how can you tell which one you scan is the guard we're looking for?"
During a break in their conversation...
The vacuum zone and safe zone that had temporarily appeared after Earl swept away and Lin Yu killed many prisoners with a single blow of [White Bone Flowing Light] have also disappeared again.
Then, prisoners manipulated by the god of shadows lunged toward the two of them.
Earl raised his hand—now that he had calmed down, his strategy had changed.
In Earl's hands, his flaming blade vanished, replaced by...
They were streaks of fire shooting out in all directions!
The burning flames were similar to the rope he had used to carry Lin Yu in flight, but they were even more violent and thicker.
If the flames that had just reached out to Lin Yu were like a red-banded snake, then the flames that were now surging out and dancing nimbly in all directions were like a giant python!
These fiery ropes entangled the surrounding prisoners, dragging them down and securing them firmly to the ground!
Earl is now realizing something too...
Since these prisoners are "immortal"...
He had absolutely no reason to kill them!
Although for Earl, trapping and controlling these guys was more troublesome and costly than killing them outright, and these prisoners would eventually break free...
However, these prisoners who were temporarily unable to break free and would not be resurrected from death in the short term were kept in place. Overall, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness were indeed higher than before!
"Let's go, let's look for it..."
As soon as Earl finished speaking, he heard a rapid "beep beep beep beep beep" sound next to him.
He turned his head and looked at Lin Yu, who had already taken out the [Two-Way Radar].
Earl looked at Lin Yu in confusion: "Didn't I say this is useless? Can you see anything wrong with all that dense display on it?"
Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Anyway, these prisoners are all puppets controlled by the 'God of Shadows,' and He has already locked onto our location, so even if we expose our location again, it's not a big deal, right?"
Earl sighed: "No, doing this will make them feel our presence in their dreams... The God of Shadows probably manipulates their behavior by creating 'nightmare dreamscapes.' If you do this, the God of Shadows can use their newly generated sensations to continue manipulating their dreams, making it easier for Him to manipulate them, and thus having the spare capacity to make these people in a 'sleepwalking' state attack us more naturally!"
At Earl's prompting...
Lin Yu did notice that the prisoners around him had become more agile because of his action of activating the [Two-Way Radar] earlier—these guys who originally only relied on instinct and physical strength to fight were now even using their superhuman strength!
Earl raised his hand, and flames coalesced into an arc-shaped barrier, blocking several energy waves and spells flying from afar.
"This was indeed unexpected... However, I think it was worth it—because I did manage to pinpoint the location of the person we were looking for using the [Two-Way Radar]."
Lin Yu spoke.
Earl was somewhat surprised: "What? You found the other person... How did you do that?"
"Because, as you said, the God of Shadows may have a lower influence on the 'Watchers,' or perhaps he was worried about accidentally awakening them during the battle... In any case, the God of Shadows has indeed hidden them away!"
"This has led to... on this [two-way radar], there is a being that is scanned by this radar and is somewhat out of place with the others—and that guy is not within my mental perception!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he showed Earl the radar screen and pointed to the sparse red dot markers on the outer edge of the screen. While the other red dots representing criminals moved, that marker remained relatively still and did not clearly move towards the two of them.
That alone is enough to be suspicious!
not to mention……
In Lin Yu's mental perception, he could not sense anyone anywhere.
Earl also made his judgment.
"It actually works... No wonder you were chosen to come here for the 'trial', you are indeed extraordinary!"
Earl said without hesitation, grabbed Lin Yu and jumped again in the direction Lin Yu indicated on the radar. He flew low over the large group of prisoners who were rushing over and landed precisely on the indicated point!
And there...
There is no one corresponding to the [Two-Way Radar] icon.
The shadows on the ground were all smooth and even, with no space to hide an entire living person.
Earl looked around and frowned slightly.
"What happened? Where are they?"
"Could it be a radar malfunction? Although the [two-way radar] shouldn't malfunction, there's no way I could ignore a 'guardian' when it's right in front of me!"
Earl said, puzzled, and Lin Yu spoke up.
"No, the radar may not be malfunctioning; it's just that the 'God of Shadows' has used some means to deceive you."
Hearing Lin Yu's explanation, Earl was even more incredulous.
"How is that possible? Although this God of Shadows is powerful, He is still fighting against my Lord and has just seized control of the 'Eternal Cage.' It's impossible for Him to have devised a way to deceive me so quickly!"
Earl said, and Lin Yu shook his head.
"Perhaps He didn't just concoct a way to deceive you on the spot... but rather borrowed something that had already existed in this 'eternal cage' and could deceive you."
"What? There's something like this inside the Eternal Cage?"
Earl said, puzzled.
Lin Yu nodded: "Of course, please come with me—let me take you this time!"
As he spoke, Lin Yu reached out and pulled Earl along, preparing to move.
After Earl handed the initiative to Lin Yu, Lin Yu immediately activated the [Talisman Earth Escape Armor] – although the ground of the Eternal Cage was covered with a layer of "shadow", this shadow did not change the nature of the earth.
The [Talisman Earth-遁甲] still allows Lin Yu to infiltrate underground.
After descending less than a meter, the two suddenly felt a sense of openness.
Earl's own light illuminated the dark tunnel—below this eternal prison, a passage appeared before Earl's eyes.
This greatly surprised Earl: "When did this underground passage appear?"
Lin Yu was also marveling at the existence of a passage here. Seeing Earl's surprised expression, he composed himself and began to explain to Earl.
“It’s normal that you don’t know, because this is something the ‘God of Frost’ did specifically to keep it from you—He manipulated a ‘player’ who was imprisoned in the Central Ring as His puppet and clone.”
As Lin Yu spoke, Earl suddenly realized.
"It was the 'God of Frost' who did this—after this crisis is over, I must tell my Lord and punish Him or extend His sentence."
Lin Yu coughed and said, "Ahem, how about we just forget about it?"
"After all, I had a pretty pleasant chat with Him in the core area just now!"
