Chapter 354: Risky Gamble
Although the fortune teller's words about fate were a bit too ambiguous and vague, Lin Yu was still able to grasp the core of the matter from his mysterious words.
“Is the source really Ayu?”
Lin Yu subconsciously thought of the copy of [The Banquet in Heaven].
That was where he and A Yu came into contact, and Zhi Geng happened to be there as well.
"So, what exactly is revelation?"
"Since you haven't killed me yet, it means that according to Revelation, my survival can bring you greater benefits, right?"
Lin Yu said calmly.
A rare smile appeared on the fortune teller's face. "I'm not going to tell you the content of the revelation directly, but I can tell you... you guessed half right."
"According to the revelation, behind this coincidence of fate is a butterfly flapping its wings, unnoticed by anyone, and it will unexpectedly bump into me on my path to seeking the truth."
"If I keep you, perhaps fate will add more interesting variables, but..."
The fortune teller jumped off the rock and took two steps to stand in front of Lin Yu.
"After witnessing your intelligence and potential, I think I'd prefer a safer approach—like, crushing your soul as well."
"It can preserve your identity as a player while ensuring that everything is under my control," the fortune teller said calmly. "You'll even feel like you're still alive."
"Like Max?"
Robin asked suddenly.
The fortune teller nodded approvingly.
"You're smart too."
Then, he looked at Robin, whose eyes had grown even darker, and narrowed his eyes.
"It seems someone is ready to fight to the death again."
At this time, Lin Yu shook his head gently.
"That's not necessary, Robin..."
He suddenly said without a word, "If you really want to help me, please take me and run faster later."
Upon hearing this, Zhi Geng turned her head and looked at Lin Yu—Lin Yu, who was almost unable to move like her.
"Are you kidding me? You're only at the 'first level'—you've only just succeeded once, which is already a surprise among surprises."
The fortune teller was also very interested: "Do you still think you can do anything to me?"
"Of course I don't have any," Lin Yu shook his head, "but... there's an old player here who is at least of the same generation as you."
"Although he's dead, the home field advantage he's built up over a long period of time and the helpers I sent should be able to make up for it to some extent."
Lin Yu said softly.
The fortune teller immediately realized that something was wrong. He pinched his fingers quickly and exclaimed in amazement: "Is this a bad omen?"
"It seems the hexagram's 'bad luck in the future' starts from here."
He turned around with emotion, only to see that the staggering corpses in the asylum had all stood up.
They also changed from a rotten and decayed appearance to a hideous and strong monster.
The monsters regained their ability to move and immediately rushed towards the fortune teller.
"Shh-!"
The fortune teller turned around, rotated the compass in his hand, and began to deal with the monsters that had "resurrected" again.
At this moment, Zhi Geng and Lin Yu felt the pressure on them suddenly relieved.
With Lin Yu's reminder just now, Zhi Geng would never let go of this opportunity. She immediately took out a paintbrush, drew several acceleration lines on her body, and ran out dragging Lin Yu.
"You actually managed to convince the original 'Freud'!"
While dragging Lin Yu, Zhi Geng couldn't help but look back at the roof of the insane asylum.
The man, dressed in black combat uniform, was carrying the stick figure cage she had drawn and the brain inside the cage and was running away in another direction in a panic.
There is no doubt that the corpses that came back to life in the mental hospital are Freud's masterpieces!
Lin Yu shook his head: "I didn't convince him either, because this guy was originally the target of the fortune teller. He has got most of what the fortune teller wanted, and the remaining half is already in his hands."
"No wonder!"
The robin sighed.
The roar of the monster behind him continued to be heard. It seemed that just as Lin Yu expected, the arrangement made by "Floyd" for so long was still somewhat useful.
The two men were about to reach the edge of the island.
Next, just jump into the sea. If you are lucky, you may pass the level - if you are unlucky, you will just need to drift for a while longer.
"Painted boat!"
As Lin Yu spoke, Zhigeng immediately understood.
Even though she looked exhausted, she still managed to pull out her sketchbook and quickly drew a crooked raft while running.
"Oh!"
Robin struggled to tear the paper off the notebook, and the raft materialized in front of the cliff of the island ahead, falling rapidly into the sea below.
"Pfft!"
The raft was floating on the sea. Lin Yu ran to the edge, stuck his head down and couldn't help complaining.
"Do you really make a living by painting? This raft is so ugly!"
Zhi Geng was also helpless: "I'm drawing while running. It's good enough if I can draw the shape!"
"Then why don't you draw a rubber boat? That's simple and practical!"
Robin said unhappily, "Don't pressure me, just jump!"
Lin Yu nodded.
Although the sea surface below was more than ten meters lower than their current position and there seemed to be many reefs, it was definitely not a good choice for jumping into the sea.
but……
The situation was urgent, how could they have time to choose?!
"go!"
Lin Yu and Zhi Geng jumped down together.
The already fishy, salty and cold sea breeze became even stronger as the descent accelerated, and rushed directly into Lin Yu's nostrils.
Seeing the black surging sea water getting closer and closer, Lin Yu's heart was beating wildly.
He kept praying.
"Hold on a little longer, man from the asylum!"
And just as he was about to fall into the water...
"enough!"
A shout echoed around the island.
A bright white light appeared beneath the sea water—the symbol of a broken long line lit up and slowly began to rotate.
Lin Yu felt that his and Zhi Geng's falling trend suddenly stopped, and the two of them seemed to be frozen in mid-air.
"His 'heart zone' can actually cover the entire island," Zhigeng's voice trembled. "It's over... We're doomed!"
She and Lin Yu were suspended in mid-air.
A moment later, the symbols under the sea surface flashed continuously, and they suddenly returned to the fortune teller.
The bodies on the ground were scattered all over the place, some were burnt, some were broken, and some were shriveled, as if they had been struck by lightning, burned by fire, blown by wind, and crushed by rocks at the same time.
The fortune teller looked at Lin Yu and Zhi Geng.
"I actually almost let you guys get away."
"But... what a pity, you still fell into my hands."
As he spoke, he put his index and middle fingers together and pointed at Lin Yu and Zhi Geng respectively.
"I won't give you any chance this time."
Lin Yu exhaled: "Really? Then you'd better tell me a fortune."
"Because since I dared to come back, besides betting that you would let me go, I also bet on another point..."
The fortune teller waved his finger without giving him a chance to finish.
Lin Yu and Zhi Geng collapsed to the ground at the same time and lost consciousness.
"I should have stopped you a long time ago. I'm still too curious."
The fortune teller sighed.
And just as he was about to take the next step...
"Om-"
A burst of powerful and intense music came from Lin Yu's fallen body.
