Chapter 1331 Chess Game
"boom!"
The puppet monster created from Captain Gaoshan's remains is indeed much more agile and powerful than other living dead.
The [Shock Shield] and the [Bronze Bull Horn] in this monster's hands can indeed work together well.
The former can block attacks while causing a "shock" to the enemy in front of it, and can absorb most of the physical impact force.
The latter has excellent hardness and sharp corners and can be used as a secondary weapon. Once blown, the user can choose to summon a bull phantom to collide with it, or choose not to summon the phantom and instead gain the attribute blessing of "bull power".
When Captain Gao Shan was still a "Second Stage", the combination of these two [Items] allowed him to gain a huge advantage when facing other "Second Stages".
Even for the "Third Order" with limited attack methods, Captain Gaoshan can deal with them and even gain a certain advantage in a head-on confrontation.
After becoming a puppet and entering the state of the living dead, I don’t know if the manipulator behind the scenes deliberately chose to retain these two [props]. Because the living dead do not feel pain, are not afraid of injuries, and have enhanced physical fitness, the [Shock Shield] and [Bronze Bull Horn] may even play a greater role in the hands of this puppet than when Captain Gaoshan used them himself!
Moreover, the sophisticated experience that Captain Gaoshan had honed through countless times was also completely inherited by this puppet.
In a sense, because Lin Yu knew Captain Gao Shan's original level and actually fought with this puppet, he became more aware of...
"The mastermind's abilities are truly even greater than I imagined... The puppets he created from corpses can not only use tools and some of their former abilities, but he can even decide which abilities and tools to retain."
"Like when Captain Gao Shan chased us here that day, I'm afraid he didn't even need nine hundred corpses..."
"Captain Gaoshan is already very strong. After all, he's a 'Level 2' about to be promoted to 'Level 3', or a quasi-'Level 3' currently crafting his own item. But if he's well-prepared and surrounded by over ten corpses, he probably won't even be able to escape."
only……
Although the power of this mastermind behind the scenes was even more exaggerated than Lin Yu had imagined, and Lin Yu himself, like Captain Gao Shan, was only at the "Second Stage" and had not yet completed his promotion, and was in the process of creating his "Exclusive Props" and was about to reach the "Third Stage"...
But even if he only used some specific abilities at this moment, he could still easily suppress the puppet.
"boom!"
The bone sword staff hit the round shield, and the recoil force of the shield was transmitted along the head of the staff, making Lin Yu feel a slight numbness in his forearm.
However, it was just a slight numbness in my forearm.
He exerted force again with his right hand holding the sword staff, and the bone sword staff slid across the surface of the [Shock Shield] and then reached the edge.
"boom!"
The round shield was thrown away.
The next moment, Lin Yu had put away his sword and staff, and grabbed Captain Gaoshan's neck with one hand.
The "spiritual matter" threads were wrapped around the joints of Captain Gaoshan's body. As long as the other party struggled a little, Lin Yu could cut him into pieces.
The zombie puppet also realized this and immediately stopped its actions.
Lin Yu looked down at the other party and said coldly: "Don't you have any other backup plan? If so, this is really a failed ambush."
When Lin Yu said these words...
It wasn't just him who conquered the mountains.
Under the leadership of the Snake Clan and the Ruins God Servant, the deformed corpses controlled by Lin Yu have completely suppressed the surrounding zombie puppets - at this moment, the number of puppet corpses that can still move is less than one hundred.
The mastermind behind this must have realized by now that this ambush was a complete failure.
A strange aura of power flashed for a moment over the body of Captain Gao Shan, who was being controlled by Lin Yu. Then, a playful sneer appeared on Gao Shan's square face. This expression was completely unbelievable for Captain Gao Shan when he was alive, and Lin Yu understood...
The one who was talking to him at this moment was no longer the "pseudo-consciousness" of the monster living in the body of Captain Gaoshan, but the person who had carried out this attack and was the mastermind behind it.
At the same time, he was almost certain that he was the murderer of Fu Luo, the mastermind behind the bounty on Lin Yu, and a member of "Tonglu".
This was also the first time Lin Yu had direct contact with the other party.
He stared at Gao Shan's body in front of him, waiting for him to speak.
And after a moment, "Gaoshan" spoke again.
"I admit, this ambush was indeed a failure... After all, this ambush wasn't originally intended for you."
"I originally intended to deal with the 'Director'—although he's also very strong, I think under this level of siege, even with the help of the masters of the Buyetian family, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape."
"However, these corpses and these arrangements are indeed... far from enough for a Level 3 cultivator like you."
The other party said this with a hint of regret in his tone.
"After all, you are the heir of Freud's legacy, a master capable of manipulating high-ranking members of both the Psychological Society and the Order."
"It's just... I didn't expect you to get involved in this matter. I've never heard of you having any contact with 'Four Polo'."
Lin Yu said calmly: "I don't need to report who I interact with to a fellow like you... Besides, I'm not involved in this matter for stupid reasons like 'feelings' or 'friendships'."
"But... you know me so well that you were able to guess it was me."
The other party sighed. "Such skillful use of mental power, seizing control of corpses, and creating distorted monsters... With these three abilities, if I don't recognize your connection to 'Freud', then I would be a complete failure."
"Furthermore, you don't seem to realize... Your recent frequent activities have made you no longer as unknown as before. Anyone who pays a little attention will be aware of your existence."
Apparently...
The mastermind behind this does not believe that the identity behind "Arthur" refers to the "director".
But...
Schreiber.
And this was what Lin Yu did on purpose.
He used his mental power without any scruples, and used the method of summoning the "Snake Descendants" that he had used before as "Schreiber", and combined it with some [props] that he had not used in other identities, just to let the mastermind separate the identity of "Arthur" from the identity of "Director".
After all, when Lin Yu used Fu Luo's identity in the City That Never Sleeps and pretended to be "Forbolo" to cause trouble at Huo Xing's birthday party in the City That Never Sleeps, he finally used the name "Freud". Although he did not have a clear idea of constructing the identity of "Schreber" at that time, this matter can indeed be blamed on "Schreber".
Although most of the natives in the City That Never Sleeps and almost all the "players" did not know the truth about this news that was deliberately blocked and downplayed by the Never Night family, there were so many people present that day that if they carefully inquired and investigated, they would always be able to find clues.
This was also what Lin Yu had planned from the beginning - in his next actions in the wasteland, he would most likely use the identity of "John H. Arthur" to do many things that were not in line with the principles of "order".
Therefore, it is best to assign this identity to "Schreber" in advance.
As for why "Schreber" had contact with "Forbolo" and got involved in this matter, Lin Yu was not worried.
After all, as the first generation successor of Freud, Schreiber's behavior is extremely in the style of the "Psychological Society". Many times his behavior is unpredictable and deviates from the normal track.
After confirming that "Arthur" was Schreiber, the mastermind behind the scenes was obviously not particularly surprised or incredulous.
Although he tried to probe the motives of the "Schreber" in front of him, in the absence of a clear answer from Lin Yu, it was obvious that the mastermind behind the scenes did not think there was anything unreasonable about "Schreber" being involved in this matter.
What's more, no matter what the mastermind behind this is thinking, it doesn't matter.
Because if they follow the "clues", the other party will only find an "explanation" that Lin Yu had prepared long ago and was waiting for others to discover.
That is, "there is a secret cooperative relationship between 'Schreber' and the 'director'."
At the same time, Lin Yu can even exclude some candidates within the "order" based on the speed at which the other party discovers this and their subsequent reactions.
Because if the mastermind realizes the connection between Schreiber and the Director, they will definitely connect it to the incident that just happened on the plane - and not all members of the Order know the full picture and details of this incident.
Therefore, Lin Yu readily acknowledged the other party's guess.
"That's right. After all, I have already accumulated enough strength. Keeping a low profile and hiding my strength will not help my plan at all."
As Lin Yu spoke, the mastermind behind the scenes spoke again through Gao Shan: "You are good at forbearance and powerful... I actually admire you very much. From the first time I heard your name, I guessed that maybe we would be on the same path..."
"It's a pity that you appeared here and participated in the investigation of 'Forbolo'. This proves that we met at the wrong time and at the wrong opportunity..."
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "You said it as if you had me in your hands, but now... it seems like I have the upper hand, right?"
Lin Yu asked back, and the mastermind behind the scenes laughed softly.
"Hey... that's certainly true in this place, but, you don't really play Go, do you?"
"The world is an inseparable whole... For me, winning this battle would be the best, but if I lose, I'll just be a 'filler'."
"The key to victory or defeat is not here."
As he spoke, an explosion was heard in the distance.
