The villain's goal is to save the heroine

Just like when he fell into the underground square unknowingly, he didn't even notice when he fell into this barrier. By the time he noticed something was wrong, he had been teleported back to the starting point!

When did he install a barrier like the "16 Palaces" in his mansion?

So, Vivian is really a genius, right?!

It's only been a little over a month, and they've already managed to restore the glory of the "16th Palace"?!

He was just feeling surprised when a surprised voice suddenly rang out from the sky:

"Teacher!"

Although it was a surprise, it still had that strong, timid taste, giving people a feeling of wanting to refuse but also to welcome.

There is no doubt that the voice comes from the coward Vivian.

As the first female protagonist to appear, Vivian is physically afraid of pain, psychologically easily deceived, and has an extremely high suicidal tendency, making her a pitiful girl whose body and mind are easily broken.

Before setting out to rescue Cecilia, Lynn was most worried about her.

In his opinion, the mansion has been set up with many barriers, and even people over level 60 cannot easily break through. However, no matter how solid the fortress is, people are afraid of running away on their own, so Lin En repeatedly reminded them before setting off.

but…

emm...

Judging from the current situation, Lynn still underestimated Fitch's methods.

Using the puppet's suicidal attack, Fitch actually broke through so many barriers one by one. If it weren't for the last layer of "16 Palaces" as the finale, Vivian might really be in trouble?

Thinking of this, Lin En couldn't help but feel a little scared.

As time went by, he encountered more and more accidents. The feeling of knowing the direction of his fate but being unable to grasp it made him feel very powerless!

but…

Vivian was fine after all.

Encouraging the other party to study the barrier was undoubtedly the right choice. The accidents were increasing, but their capital was also increasing. It was just a competition without gunpowder!

For example, now he has gained control over the "Divine Tree" beyond expectations, right?

Thinking of this, Lin En stopped worrying and prepared to respond. However, before he could open his mouth, Vivian's timid voice rang out again:

"Ah! No...that's not right! The teacher wouldn't go out wearing something that ugly...! A trap! It's definitely another trap! Humph, it's useless. I won't be fooled by you again, Fitch, no matter how many times you come!"

Hearing this, Lin En was stunned again, and then felt both amused and helpless.

Well, since his clothes were burned along with Cecilia in the "Forest of the Sacred Trees", he was now wearing that ugly robe woven with his limited sewing skills.

But isn't it a bit hasty for Vivian to judge him based on his clothes?

This reminded him of the kid who recognized his mother by her hair style...

Having said that, Lynn still felt quite relieved.

Doubt is a good thing. Vivian doubted too little and believed too much, so she was tricked into an alley by a passerby whose name she couldn't even pronounce!

Moreover, judging from what the other party had just said, Vivian had already been fooled once before! If it weren't for the 16th Palace giving her some tolerance, Vivian might have been fooled again!

Yes, for this heroine who is not very smart, it is never excessive to be vigilant.

Of course, the verification method could be very simple. For example, the fact that the girl had a servant mark engraved on her lower abdomen was known only to the two of them. As long as the conversation could continue, it would not be difficult to determine its authenticity.

But just before he opened his mouth, Vivian's not-so-clever voice rang out again:

"Huh? Weird! That bad guy was clearly trapped in 2-2's palace, so how did he manage to create a puppet?"

Lin En couldn't help but rub his forehead and said depressedly, "Do you think there is a possibility that I am the real person?"

Chapter 203: Little Coward Vivian

"Are you the real one?"

Vivian pondered the possibility of this conclusion. Although she was somewhat tempted in her heart, she still did not let down her guard because of a single sentence.

"How are you going to prove that you are who you say you are?" Vivian asked.

Obviously, he was still concerned about the problem girl related to Lin En, so he continued to communicate like this.

Lin En was well prepared for this question and answered immediately, "It's very simple. All we need to do is to verify something that only you and I know. For example, the servant mark on your lower abdomen was carved by me personally, wasn't it?"

He thought this reason should be enough to prove his identity, but to his surprise, the little coward actually...

Angry!

"You... you damned bastard! You're trying to trick me with the same excuse again! Humph, do you think I'm stupid? That I'd fall for your trick twice in a row?! I don't care, just starve to death in there! Bye!!"

Vivian's behavior fully explains what it means that "even clay has temper". She was able to force the little coward to say such words. It seems that the puppeteer taught this girl a lot of lessons.

but…

Lynn frowned slightly.

Very strange.

The affair between him and Vivian was obviously kept secret. Theoretically, only the parties involved knew about it. How could Fitch use this matter to deceive Vivian?

Well, since the puppeteer in the game is handled by Mona, he doesn't really know much about this guy's abilities.

He had originally thought Fitch was just a bit cunning and of average strength, but judging by the current situation, he had clearly underestimated this person's abilities! Treating him as a "small monster" or something like that was undoubtedly another gameplay mistake!

"Then tell me, how should I prove that I am myself?" Lin En focused his attention back on the present.

If Vivian really ran away without caring, he would have to waste a lot of time in this "16th Palace"!

however…

"Hmph, don't talk to me, I won't be fooled!"

Vivian didn't know what had deceived her, and she was still furious.

But Lin En wanted to say, since you don’t want to talk anymore, then don’t respond. What’s the point of deliberately emphasizing it?

"Well, if you continue like this, I'll go out and whip you with a small blackboard ruler." Lin En had no choice but to threaten.

These words obviously had a special effect on the little coward. When Vivian heard the words "little pointer", she immediately made an "Ah——" sound and jumped up!

"You...are you really Teacher Lin En?" The girl's tone became timid again.

But Lin En neither confirmed nor denied this. He simply continued, "Don't jump to conclusions. There's nothing wrong with remaining skeptical. Anyway, how about giving me a method you think can verify my identity?"

However, when Vivian heard this, she actually believed it 90%.

You know, she had experienced this kind of persuasive tone many times before, because the other party kept tapping her hands with a small blackboard stick, which made her remember it clearly now.

"Hmm..." Vivian seemed troubled for a moment, then pounded her hands as if suddenly realizing something, and asked cautiously, "How about... just continuing with what you just said?"

"Oh?" Lynn was both annoyed and amused by Vivian's reaction. "What did you just say? Which one specifically?"

"Ah! About... about that... servant pattern. If... you were the real one, wouldn't you just... order me around? Anyway, I... can't resist..."

The girl's words were somewhat aggrieved and tearful.

Although the pattern was engraved in a relatively private place, it did not bring any impact to her life, but psychologically there was still some resentment.

After all... after all, she has been very obedient and has... never done anything bad, so why... why should she be enslaved with this kind of thing?

And...it's engraved in such a strange place!

strangeness…

It's really strange!

Every time she takes a bath, she feels very...

Weird!

Correct!

Anyway, it's very strange!

Is this the bad taste of the nobles?

Vivian thought this was unacceptable!

However, putting aside the matter of Pu Wen, the suggestion of the coward is obviously quite feasible.

The fact is, as a party to the contract, Lin En could indeed do whatever he wanted and force Vivian to do whatever she wanted, as long as he wanted. Furthermore, this effect was unique, and impersonation was impossible. Unless the person's magic properties were exactly the same as Lin En's, even if they looked similar, it would be useless.

嗏

"Is there any other way?"

Lynn didn't want to use this method.

Whether it was Vivian or Cecilia, the so-called servant markings and collars were merely concessions to the process. He had never considered enslaving Vivian, nor had he considered keeping Cecilia as a pet. Unless it was a special case, he didn't want to touch either of them.

He always puts the two of them on the same footing!

but…

"Ah! You... you really are faking it!" Vivian took his evasion as a sign of guilt, and her voice suddenly became a little smug. "Hehe, don't underestimate me, I'm also very smart! I advise you to stop now. It's not too late to turn yourself in! Otherwise, when Lin En comes back, you... you will definitely be beaten to death! That man is so vicious and bad, I've been beaten many times!"

"what…"

Hearing the girl's words, Lin En couldn't help but rub his forehead again.

He felt that he must first clarify that up to this moment, he had never used a small whip or a small pointer to whip Vivian more than three times!

And he didn't actually hit her hard, it's just that the heroine was too weak and pitiful, so she scared herself.

"Don't get me wrong, I just don't like your method." Lynn put his hands on his hips for a moment, "But I have another idea to prove myself. Vivian, tell me how to get to Fitch's location, and I'll just go and beat that guy to a pulp."

Obviously, Lin En's move was simpler, more brutal, and more practical than Vivian's! After all, even if Lin En confirmed his identity with an order, he still had to deal with the puppeteer. Why was this step necessary?

Chunchun is just adding to the negative emotions!

And as long as Fitch, the source of the threat, is there any need for proof? The crisis has been resolved, so what is there to guard against?

As expected, Vivian uttered that long, drawn-out sound again when she heard Lin En's suggestion: "Eh! You...you really are Teacher Lin En?"

"What do you think?"

"I think...ah! Um...um...can you please forget what I just said? Sorry...I...I got a little carried away...I was just joking...ha...haha..."

"Really? I'll tell you after I'm done with Fitch."

"Um...yes...sorry..."

Chapter 204 Take action immediately!

Lin En was no stranger to the principles of the "16 Palaces". With his experience in the underground square, it would not be difficult for him to quickly leave the maze as long as he was given some time.

However, leaving was not his intention.

Now that we know that Fitch is trapped in the "16th House" and we have finally caught this guy, how can we let him go so easily?

Fitch must die!

However, finding Fitch in the 16th House is much more difficult than leaving the 16th House.

The 16 Houses have five different arrangements in space, and upon leaving the initial "room", you will randomly enter one of them.

Each type is spatially different from the others, and each type has 16 "rooms", so strictly speaking, there are equivalent to 16 different "rooms" in the "80 Palaces"!

Without a commander with a God's perspective, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to successfully find the target in so many "rooms".

Of course, the best way is to stay at the starting point.

However, Vivian said that Fitch had been in 2-2 for a long time, so Lin En had no choice but to take the initiative to find him.

“啊…不…这一次也不对…这一次也是1×16的类型，不过往左走一下就能刷新了…唔…这回是8×2，也不对…额，这次是16×1…这…这一次是2×8…”

A 20% chance should be relatively high, but Lin En failed to enter the desired arrangement seven or eight times.

"Huh...? Could it be that randomness isn't uniformly distributed in principle? I feel like the probability of 1 x 16 or 16 x 1 is much higher. Could it be that this probability can be controlled? ... Indeed, there are some parts of the notes I don't fully understand. If randomness can be manipulated, perhaps it can be used to hide something..."

Forehead…

As the hostess of the Gu family who has no lofty ideals and just likes to work hard on her own land, Vivian has some characteristics of a hamster.

However, now is not the time to discuss this issue.

"Okay, you have plenty of time to experiment in the future. What about this time? What's going on this time?"
