Chapter 238 A Liar Deceives a Liar

That night, Ji Yi, Chicken Leg, and Miss Cat were having hot pot at a hot pot restaurant.

Of course, the exorbitant prices in this instance were beyond the reach of the three of them, so they deliberately broke into a hot pot restaurant that was not open during business hours and ate in the dark.

"In two days, barring any unforeseen circumstances, another batch of players will arrive in this instance."

Ji Yi ate the hot pot meat while explaining the follow-up plan to the chicken leg.

Throughout the entire dungeon run, Chicken Leg's role is clearly that of a puppet, pushed out to attract fire.

Ji Yi, on the other hand, is the mastermind behind everything, controlling every role in the situation.

To do this job well, in addition to having enough information, you also need to understand people's hearts, manage the interests of different camps, and have enough wisdom.

Before Ji Yi improved his mental strength, he would have had to put a lot of mental effort into figuring these things out, but now it's much easier.

"Although I didn't go looking for that kid Tan Ming this time, my appearance provoked Pian, and that guy still held the same meeting according to the previous timeline. So I estimate that the four new players will still go to the old place to refresh their spawn point."

"Alright, stop eating and start writing, great writer."

Chicken Leg sighed in resignation, took out the paper and pen he had prepared earlier, and continued writing:

My true identity in this world is that of a con artist. I will deceive many people and become the ultimate winner.

As Chicken Leg wrote, several new skills actually appeared in his skill bar. However, unlike the original clear and solid white text, these new skills were light in color and had blurry edges, as if they would disappear at any moment.

This is the writer's exclusive professional skill, "Chapter Overwriting," which is Chicken Leg's latest acquired ability.

The quality of this skill is so high that it is mythical, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it god-like.

As for the effect, it is as it appears.

In a new instance, you can reset your identity and script. Once the story begins, it cannot be changed at will. If there is confusion or contradiction in the settings, the user will be harmed by the skill.

According to the current story development, Chicken Leg is in a bizarre world, where he is a con artist who can use various pre-set rules to enhance himself.

For example, one of the rules is that humans recover from injuries when they look in a mirror, while monsters reveal their true form when they look in a mirror.

This setting will take effect within the scope of the skill's coverage.

Of course, this skill is far from being as omnipotent as imagined. Overly absurd and powerful settings, such as "I am the strongest at the pinnacle of this world," will not give the user invincible power. On the contrary, being defeated by NPCs will cause serious contradictions between the story and the real events, leading to the collapse of the story.

Therefore, using this skill is like walking on a tightrope; if it goes too far, the consequences will be severe.

But there was no other way; Brother Ji had already said he'd tip the Silver Alliance, so I had to grit my teeth and go along with it.

So, following Ji Yi's instructions, he continued writing:

[In my scheme, Pian became a clown to be fooled, and the four players who arrive next will also be used by me.]

[Especially Ye Changtian, he'll fall into the trap without any warning.]

A great scam is about to unfold.

This text is a form of psychological suggestion, which can strengthen Chicken Leg's identification with the identity of a con artist. At the same time, it is also a prediction of the plot. The more things go according to plan, the stronger Chicken Leg will become.

Seeing that Chicken Leg had stopped writing, Ji Yi picked up the paper and examined it for a while, confirming that the tone of the story was as he had expected.

"Alright, now it's time to find the next helper."

Ji Yi put the paper away and returned it to the chicken leg.

"You mean the Mist Woman?" Miss Cat asked. "Based solely on the information you gathered last time, you've already deduced her location?"

"That's about it. If I'm not mistaken, the Mist Maiden was tricked out of the hut by the true Chosen One, and the Ancient God's seal was broken at that time. After that, the Ancient God's will awakened, and here's the key point."

Ji Yi picked up a slice of raw mutton with her chopsticks and put it into the boiling pot.

"The Mist Maiden's power originates from the Ancient God. Once the Ancient God's will awakens, she cannot remain unaffected. Based on the eyewitness accounts of those extraordinary individuals, the Mist Maiden likely chose a sparsely populated place with minimal pollution and its spread."

As she spoke, Ji Yi picked up a slice of mutton and circled it around in the pot before finally picking it up and placing it on the edge handle of the hot pot.

"Only in this way can we minimize the risk of being corrupted by outdated ideas, so our next stop is..."

"Antarctica."

As dawn broke that day, the hot pot restaurant owner entered his shop and was shocked to see the mess on the table.

These days, there are actually people who don't steal money, but instead steal a meal?
Well, it's not like the meal was worth much, so the loss wasn't significant.

Thinking about it, he smiled helplessly, then opened his freezer, and then he was shocked.

"Damn it, they ate over two hundred boxes of my beef and mutton!"

Meanwhile, Ji Yi touched her pregnant belly as she walked, searching online for ways to get to Antarctica on her phone.

After searching for ten minutes, he quickly became disappointed.

At this time, the Southern Hemisphere is in winter, and there is almost no way to reach Antarctica through normal means, unless it is a special national mission that costs hundreds of millions of dollars to make the plan to go to Antarctica possible.

Even for players, while staying cool and enduring cold are basic skills, Antarctica is like a no-man's land in winter, especially the inland plateau area, where the environment is so harsh that life cannot exist, and it can even be equated with nightmare dungeons to some extent.

In this situation, without some special skills or tools, no matter how powerful your fists are or how fast your feet are, it will be difficult to survive.

This shows that going to Antarctica is a huge project that cannot be completed in a short period of time.

In two more days, Zhuge Dengpao and his team will enter the instance.

"I will go to Antarctica to find the Mist Woman myself."

Miss Cat spoke up first.

"After all, two days is too short to make a round trip to Washington. I'll act alone and try to make it back before your plans end."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yi pondered for a moment but couldn't come up with any good ideas.

Miss Cat can summon spirits, and if we're talking about being unafraid of the bitter cold, besides Ji Yi, only she could do it.

Although this raises a question, summoning gods is not a sustainable practice, and Miss Cat cannot maintain it in the long run.

However, at this point, there's no need to be pretentious and considerate of others. Since Miss Cat brought it up, it means she has her own way of handling these issues.

The following scenes require both chicken legs and Ji Yi, and there really aren't enough people available.

"Okay, then be careful. Chicken Leg and I are going to the other side of the ocean now. Once you find the Mist Woman, contact me through psychic means."

"it is good."

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

At the same time, Brother Foot Win was feeling very frustrated.

After entering the instance, he had been observing for two days and found that this Azure Star was almost no different from Earth. There were no ancient gods or pollution at all!

No, I can't afford to waste any more time.

First, go see the local officials. If the lower-ranking officials don't work, go to the higher-ranking officials. If the higher-ranking officials don't work, go even higher up!

I refuse to believe it! In this huge place, finding the person in charge shouldn't make things easy, right?!
Thinking it over, Brother Foot Win quickly took action and headed straight for the XX office.

At the same moment, Mad Celestial had just climbed off a monster.

He looked down at his naked body, then at the green mountain of flesh on the ground, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

It was truly an unforgettable experience.

He is already exhausted from controlling these ever-growing number of loyal followers every day, after all, the aura of the ancient god's will is always unintentionally emanating out, and new members are constantly being added.

Anyone severely infected will become a troublesome mental monster, and once released, it will trigger a chain reaction of infections. Killing them will only make things worse; terrifying mental energy will spread, driving people all over the world insane, and an unstoppable plague will spread, far more frightening than any zombie infection.

This is the hellish dungeon.

If you fail at this crucial point, there will be no hope of successfully completing the entire dungeon.

Therefore, the Mad Celestial Venerable could only maintain strict vigilance and temporarily control these people.

All he can do now is pray that his teammates outside can help him find a way to seal the seal as soon as possible and come to his aid.

Thinking about it, Mad Celestial Venerable glanced at the green fat monster on the ground with some disgust, and then lay down in it again.

"I won't be able to experience this feeling again someday."

"When we go to Wallace this time, we need to be on our best behavior and not let foreigners down. They might think we're country bumpkins, you know?"

After boarding the plane, Ji Yi said to the chicken leg next to her.

Meanwhile, Chicken Leg was diligently writing on his small table. At this moment, his demeanor had somewhat shed the image of a typical nerdy writer, and he truly resembled a mysterious and unpredictable master.

Ji Yi glanced at it and saw that the chicken leg had written on the paper:
My name is Chicken Leg. If you see this sentence, it means you've already seen it.

Ji Yi: "?"

It's often said that the best con artists are those who deceive themselves, and I know this all too well.

On the surface, I am Ji Yi's pawn. But in reality, even the fact that he is manipulating the overall situation was within my expectations.

[If something unforeseen happens, don't worry, it's still within my expectations.]

Of all his body, his mouth is the hardest.

Ji Yi couldn't help but find it amusing; it seemed that Chicken Leg had made a great sacrifice to complete his plan.

But it's alright, his neurotic tendencies will subside once the dungeon is over.

Letting Chicken Leg continue writing, Ji Yi put on her blindfold and waited for the plane to arrive.

Because his mental strength had increased significantly, Ji Yi didn't actually need much sleep, and wearing an eye mask didn't affect his ability to observe the passenger plane.

Therefore, his God-like vision quickly spotted an anomaly on the flight:
“Pian”.

Ji Yi thought to himself, "This guy actually got on the same flight as me?"

At this moment, Pian was sitting in the aisle a few rows behind him, seemingly engrossed in a game while wearing headphones.

A quick glance confirms that they are indeed engrossed in playing "Kimi's Adventure".

What a masterful disguise, but I saw right through it. Could any other eye in the world do that besides mine?

"."

Okay, let's get down to business. This Mr. Pian is currently using the alias Zhang Wei. He's quite unremarkable, both in appearance and name.

"Then he should change his name to Louis Koo."

Due to his unique disguise methods, no matter what type of supernatural power test, it is impossible to see through him. Please believe that his strength as a former candidate for fraud is terrifying.

Right now, he is undoubtedly monitoring you, and the Chicken Leg Immortal beside you.

Since Chicken Leg Immortal didn't enter the instance through normal means, he couldn't determine if Chicken Leg Immortal was a player, but he had some guesses. Pian is probably brainstorming right now, trying to figure out why Chicken Leg Immortal tricked you so easily.

After reading the message, Ji Yi's phone vibrated at the same moment.

Although there are many rules prohibiting electronic devices on airplanes, connecting to the in-flight Wi-Fi for text communication is still fine.

Ji Yi picked up her phone, and sure enough, it was a message from Pi An.

[The one with unwavering faith]: "Have you set off yet?"

Ji Yi thought for a while, then looked at the chicken leg next to her.

"Ah."

A brief reply, however, gave Pian a lot to think about.

Pi An couldn't casually point out that there was a chicken leg next to Ji Yi, otherwise it would confirm that he was following Ji Yi and easily arouse suspicion.

Now, what's puzzling Pian is how they made the chicken leg?
The two of them seemed to have truly resolved their differences, even though only a day had passed.

What the hell is going on?
If Ji Yi abandons the "redemption" mission, he is not worried about the failure of the "divine sacrifice" plan. It is a foregone conclusion and no one can stop it.

The ancient gods will surely descend.

If Ji Yi were to switch sides at the last minute, he would lose the bet with Chicken Leg Immortal.

People are already jumping out to mock me, so I have to do something.

Pian kept his hands busy, but his mind wasn't on the game at all. He muttered to himself:

"You simply assumed I was timid and cautious, that this was an open trap, and that I wouldn't dare take the risk of deceiving you face to face. That's why you were able to take advantage of my proximity and strike first against this gullible fool."

"In the end, you win, and then you take the opportunity to turn on me and completely shatter my confidence, is that it?"

Ha ha!

You think I'm on the second level and you're on the third, but actually I've seen through your level; it's the fourth level!
Although strictly speaking, they are all in the atmosphere now.
In short, whether it's a trap or a psychological provocation, let's strip away the fancy inner game and I'll play this game well.

You really think I'm easy to bully? I'm not only going to win this bet, I'm going to take your life too, and I'm going to make sure you never leave alive!
Thinking it over, Pian silently made a plan in his mind.

It seems it's time to take action myself.

The long flight of more than ten hours passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, everyone with their own ulterior motives lived in peace with each other, while the Chicken Leg Immortal spent most of his time writing stories.

As the written content gradually became more vivid and detailed, he also developed an air of mystery and enigma.

It looks like he practically has "I'm a liar" written all over his face.

That calm and composed face, that gentle and refined demeanor yet a smile that conceals a knife, was simply terrifying.

People say that the most skilled swindlers are those who appear harmless, tricking you into believing they're fooling you until you regret it later.

In Pian's view, the real master is the one who can make others suspicious from the start, even if they explicitly state that they are a professional con artist, and still manage to trick them. This shows that only someone who has thoroughly mastered the art of manipulating trust and suspicion, human nature and self-interest can achieve this level of skill.

With this in mind, Pian followed the crowd off the plane.

He followed Ji Yi and the other person perfectly, without arousing any suspicion.

The two people in front of him were completely unaware, so when Ji Yi went into the airport restroom, he finally gave Pi An the opportunity.

He calmly brushed past the Chicken Leg Immortal, and no matter how much he hated chicken legs, he would never reveal a single trace of it in front of a professional swindler.

Soon, he first saw Ji Yi using the urinal.

At the same time, they also saw the tall, bearded PR manager, Yun Chang.

Ignore that; it's not the point.

Pian quickly approached Ji Yi and uttered a complex and strange incantation:

"Y'ai'ng'ngah, Yog-Sothoth'ng'ngah."
