I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 594 I'm finished too (36)

Discussions about the masked man's true identity have never ceased.

However, there are many points to discuss about this event dungeon. In the end, everyone focuses on the strength of the opponent's deck and doesn't care much about his true nature.

But today, when the masked man's mask was shattered by a punch, revealing his true face, the players present felt a dizzying sensation.

Unlike the evil deeds he committed, the masked man beneath the mask had a pair of gentle eyes, and his refined appearance carried a touch of heart-touching softness. Even the bloodied corners of his mouth had a hint of brokenness and bitterness.

This masked man is damn sweet.

Even Cheng Hua held his breath, his hand instinctively reaching out before he restrained himself and withdrew it.

Even more breathtakingly, the masked man triggered a performance effect of the mask breaking the moment it shattered.

He began to slowly descend through the air, and melodious and melancholic music began to play, adding a touch of divinity to the atmosphere.

As he drifted down, he turned his head with difficulty and gave the players a broken smile.

Players who witnessed this performance were instantly captivated. The Daoist essence of the Water Deity Star Lord was perfectly integrated into his expression, making this moment a classic that would be unforgettable for a long time.

The performance, lasting only a few seconds, is almost permanently imprinted in the hearts of players, becoming an indelible classic in their memories.

But Chen Yu only had one thought.

damn!

The order is wrong!
His original plan was for the masked man to eventually let the player win, and then the performance at that moment would be revealed.

Lian Qu's depiction of the expression perfectly captured his thoughts, and Lin Jiashu's music fully conveyed the mood of the moment. After defeating the masked man, players will begin to wonder why such a gentle character would act this way, and then start to reflect on whether they attacked the wrong person.

No text description is needed; the masked man's face alone is enough for players to fill in the blanks. After all, a handsome face is an answer in itself, and players will fill in the blanks on their own.

The more you imagine, the easier it is to conceive a tragic story of a beautiful, strong, and miserable character. Then you start to think about his real purpose in doing so, and finally, you have a constant stream of negative emotions.

But now, the order is wrong.

He wasn't defeated by the player, but by some random guy, making it seem like he was just a controlled character, and the real boss was someone else entirely.

They're all wrong!

Staring at the suddenly appearing figure, Chen Yu couldn't help but ask, "Who is this thing?"

Lian Qu looked at the person who had suddenly appeared, and after a long while said, "Cheng Hua."

"Who then?"

"The temple keeper of the Earth Deity Star Lord who was knocked away by your punch before."

"Oh, a roadside... How did he get into my dream!"

"I still want to ask you."

Lian Qu first sensed the atmosphere around him, then said in confusion, "The Star Lords' curses have disappeared, and they're all targeting your substitute doll. Chen Yu, you still say you didn't prepare a substitute doll?"

"I really wasn't prepared. Wait, what's this 'scapegoat doll' you're talking about?"

"It's about creating something in your own image so that others believe it's you. The more people who believe it, the more curses that image bears."

Chen Yu then realized that he might have really created a scapegoat.

Everyone knows that the masked man is made in his own image, and everyone treats the other as their own alter ego, so he is his own alter ego.

In other words, that thing really was his scapegoat.

The world of cultivation is full of wonders; how could something like this even be possible?
Staring at Cheng Hua in the live stream, Chen Yu was stunned for a long time before asking, "Then what was he doing going in there?"

"It might be related to the calamity; that calamity has entered too." "What's going on here?!"

"It's also because of the substitute doll that the calamity was activated by the curse, and that's your karma. However, if Chenghua destroys your substitute doll, then he will take away your karma. At that time, the calamity can be taken away by him."

Chen Yu kept thinking about the relationship and finally came to a conclusion:
If you don't want Chenghua to take away the calamity, you can't let him defeat the masked man.

Immediately pulling out the background, Chen Yu saw that the position of the dungeon boss had been taken by someone else, and it was locked and could not be unlocked.

In addition, the content of the instance event has been locked and cannot be modified for the time being.

The masked man has lost his position as leader and is now a non-player character.

Then, Chen Yu remembered an even more serious problem.

Looking at Jiang Qiao, Chen Yu asked, "Jiang Qiao, I remember the masked man's logic was to attack the strongest area that is not currently his own faction, right?"

"Yes."

"So, the masked man's current logic is to attack the corrupted areas, right?"

"Yes."

"Wouldn't that make us part of the same team?"

Jiang Qiao reviewed her own behavioral judgment logic and nodded, saying, "That's right."

"...We're doomed."

Immediately contacting Meng Lingyi, Chen Yu said as soon as the call connected, "Meng Lingyi, there's something I need to discuss..."

“I know,” Meng Lingyi said wearily. “Tianyuan’s server has been hijacked. Dream Star Lord is furious and has said he will definitely give you an explanation.”

"That's good, but when will you be able to recover?"

"We'll try our best, but at least five days."

After a moment of silence, Meng Lingyi said regretfully, "I'm sorry, Chen Yu."

"what happened?"

"The Dream Star Lord has issued a divine decree, and we have a general understanding of the current situation. Because the server I built was incomplete, you have lost the calamity you have always wanted."

"No, you mean it's as if I've always wanted to obtain the true form of this calamity."

"Isn't that right?" Meng Lingyi asked, puzzled. "Everyone who knows you knows that this is part of your plan. You admitted it yourself back then."

"When did I say that... wait, I did say it. But saying it doesn't mean I admit it!"

"What kind of Chen's inequality is this?"

After a pause, Meng Lingyi's voice softened, and she said carefully, "Chen Yu, I know you're in a bad mood right now, but the Dream Star Lord will make it up to you. The Earth Virtue Star Lord went too far this time, forcibly invading the Dream Star Lord's domain and locking your dream. The Dream Star Lord will give him retribution."

Both the Dream Star Lord and the Earth Virtue Star Lord are great star lords with similar strength, so it is indeed possible for them to accomplish this.

However, that wasn't what Chen Yu was concerned about.

If the other party has truly locked down the settings in the dream, then Chenghua will only face certain death.

Staring at the situation in the dream, Chen Yu sighed, "The Earth Virtue Star Lord is doomed."

"Then why are you unhappy?"

"I'm doomed too."
