Chapter 1373 The Plan Against the Diviner
"Feng Shui Master?"
This wasn't the first time Lin Yu had heard this code name—as a 'fourth-tier' expert who was listed on the leaderboard and had no organizational affiliation, and ranked seventh, Lin Yu had just inquired about his information from 'Comedian'.
What is now certain is that this guy has a grudge against the 'fortune teller'.
Therefore, when he approached me, he probably wasn't there with hostility.
Moreover, this mysterious fourth-tier expert, who likely shares the same goal as him, has taken the initiative to seek him out...
For Lin Yu, this is definitely a tremendous opportunity.
This means that he may have even more control over the situation.
Lin Yu felt a little more at ease—but he was originally on high alert, so he was still 97% wary.
"A 'Feng Shui Master'? A top expert on the rankings?"
"You found me, perhaps because of the 'fragment of fate' in my possession?"
Lin Yu looked at the other person and pretended to be surprised, acting as if he didn't know the other person at all and had only seen them on the rankings.
Jian Cunyi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I have no interest in the 'Fragment of Fate'. Although I do have one, it was because it chose me. If the 'Diviner' hadn't intended to reshape the power of 'Fate', I wouldn't have kept it at all."
He said it very frankly.
Lin Yu stared at the other person, still showing great wariness: "Then why have you come?"
“Naturally, it’s to ruin the ‘Diviner’s’ plans,” Jian Cun said bluntly. “Among ‘Nioh’s’ items, there are things he wants to seize, just like the ‘Kirin’s Soul’ from last time, which is a key item on his path to godhood.”
"Furthermore, he also intends to take this opportunity to manipulate the president of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' and ultimately turn it into an external organization of the 'Raiders'—at least to ensure that the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' is no longer an organization that is friendly to 'Order'."
"Neither the 'Diviner' becoming a god nor the 'Raiders' growing stronger is what I want to see."
As Jian Cunyi spoke, Lin Yu frowned: "Then why did you come to me? Or rather... why did you come to me through these means, instead of contacting 'Order' directly through more official channels?"
Jian Cunyi, sitting opposite, spread his hands: "Because to be honest, although I consider myself a good person, at least compared to the 'fortune tellers,' most of the people in 'Order'... are actually quite resistant to me."
“Especially ‘Grandmaster’ – although we’ve worked together before, she would definitely beat me up if she saw me.”
"To be honest, if that bastard 'Diviner' hadn't trapped 'Grandmaster,' I might not have dared to come and contact you... Of course, if 'Grandmaster' were here, I wouldn't have needed to come myself."
Lin Yu interrupted Jian Cunyi: "Since most of the people in 'Order' are against you, especially the 'Grandmasters' who are also your adversaries, then in my opinion... although you are hostile to the 'Diviners,' you are not necessarily a kind person."
“Why should I cooperate with you?”
Although Lin Yu appeared to have a firm stance and attitude, his words were actually driven more by curiosity.
After all, Lin Yu is quite good at judging people—although he can't judge good and evil by temperament, and the standard of "good and evil" is inherently difficult to judge.
But Lin Yu could tell that... "Feng Shui Master" Jian Cunyi was a rather "sincere" guy.
His words contained no concealment or deception, nor even a hint of embellishment.
So why would such a person be at odds with "order," and even more so with "masters"?
Logically speaking, since he had worked with the "Grandmaster" before, the "Grandmaster" shouldn't have any objections to him.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's question, Jian Cun sighed and replied.
"Naturally, it's because of some 'ideological' issues... Many things in this world are not simply black and white."
"Some of the things I want to do, which are at least 'good' in my view, are things that 'order' cannot allow."
“I understand their concerns, but… all living beings suffer.”
Jian Cunyi sighed with regret as he said this.
Lin Yu looked at Jian Cunyi and continued to press, "You have to tell me the specifics, otherwise... I can't cooperate with you."
Jian Cunyi thought for a moment and said, "Although the 'Order' is intentionally blocking the spread of some ideas about me, it's not difficult for you to find out from your current position."
"Actually, it's quite simple... those [duplicate] worlds, that is, the myriad beings in the Ten Realms, always live too miserable lives."
“While we can’t take care of some of the born alien races and humans with extraordinary abilities, I think… perhaps we can bring those ‘ordinary humans,’ like the common people of the Hell Mountain Realm, to live in our world—at least here, there are no demons that eat people, right?”
"Although it is almost impossible to relocate them all, if we have the means to move a few villages and towns and settle them in the mountains and forests, it may not affect the peace of our world."
As Jian Cunyi spoke earnestly, Lin Yu instantly understood why the 'Grandmaster' was at odds with this guy.
Let alone the 'Grandmasters' who openly deny the natives of the Ten Realms "human rights," even among the egalitarian faction within the 'Order,' there are very few who can accept the idea of 'Feng Shui Masters' bringing large numbers of beings from other worlds into the real world!
After all, this idea sounds too risky!
Seeing Lin Yu's expression, Jian Cun smiled and did not insist on persuading Lin Yu.
"Indeed, my idea was 'unorthodox'... But don't worry, I didn't come here to pursue my ambitions in that regard."
"I simply intend to thwart the fortune teller's scheme."
Lin Yu stared at Jian Cunyi: "Although you are very strong and you are not really a 'bad guy'... at least you have not been expelled from the 'Forum' or publicly wanted by 'Order', but you must have been secretly monitored by the organization for a long time, right?"
Jian Cun nodded slightly: "That's right, 'Xia Ke' spends most of his time specifically watching me."
"Then how can you be so sure that I would be willing to cooperate with you, when the vast majority of people in 'Order' keep their distance from you?"
Lin Yu asked back.
Jian Cunyi said, "Hey, of course it's because you've become quite famous lately—I've heard a lot about you, although it's just hearsay, but even if you remove the 'distorted' parts from those rumors, I can still conclude that... you're a 'pragmatist'."
"So, you won't refuse a 'fourth-tier' who hates 'fortune tellers' to secretly help you this time."
As Jian Cunyi spoke, Lin Yu did not deny it.
This guy really understands his identity as a 'director' very well.
Moreover, putting aside the director's persona...
Lin Yu himself is very willing to cooperate with 'Feng Shui Masters'.
So he simply stopped beating around the bush.
"So how do you plan to help me?"
“Based on my calculations and observations, that ‘Diviner’ guy should be in the Prison Mountain Realm right now. He probably intends to use some trump cards that can cross worlds to influence the situation in Deep City, in order to offset the ‘rejection’ of him in our real world as much as possible and prolong the time for him to make his move,” Jian Cunyi analyzed. “Although I don’t know his specific methods, this is probably his idea.”
“So… I can go to the Prison Mountain Realm and strike him when he affects reality,” the feng shui master said, his eyes brightening. “In this way, I will surely disrupt his plans.”
Lin Yu nodded upon hearing Jian Cunyi's words.
"That's certainly a good thing, but... you don't need to inform me, a regular 'second-tier' member of 'Order,' about something like this, do you? If you want to do it, just do it yourself, right?"
"Judging from your personality, you're not the type to come all the way to tell me, just in case your contributions go unnoticed, are you?"
Jian Cunyi nodded slightly: "Of course, I only seek to do things with a clear conscience and a clear conscience. I have no meaning for empty fame."
"So, I came to you not only because you might be one of the few in 'Order' who are willing to cooperate with me, but also because... your help is indispensable if the plan I just mentioned is to succeed."
Lin Yu was somewhat surprised: "Why is that?"
“Naturally, it’s because of the ‘Fragment of Fate’,” Jian Cunyi said. “I have one, the ‘Diviner’ has one, and you have one.”
"Furthermore, if the information I've heard is correct, the 'fragment of fate' scattered throughout the Prison Mountain Realm has also fallen into the hands of a girl with whom you have a deep connection, hasn't that right?"
Lin Yu shook his head: "I don't know, but I do have one in my hand."
"But what does that have to do with your plan?"
“Of course there are. Before doing such things, the ‘diviner’ will definitely use the ‘fragment of fate’ in his hand to create an illusion and hide his whereabouts,” Jian Cunyi said. “His strength is already above mine. It would be difficult for me to quickly break through his illusion and catch him off guard with just myself and this one fragment in my hand.”
“But if there were one more, things would be different,” Jian Cunyi said. “In the struggle at the level of ‘power,’ if it’s a two-on-one fight, even if he is careful to guard against it and make timely corrections, he will inevitably not be able to handle it with ease.”
"So, if you trust me—on the day he makes his move, you can come with me to the Prison Mountain Realm and catch him off guard."
As Jian Cunyi spoke, Lin Yu nodded slowly.
“That sounds good, but… you two are both 'fourth-tier' fighters, and you're even ranked second or seventh among the best 'fourth-tier' fighters. If I, a mere 'second-tier' fighter, were to fight, would I have to go along…”
“I have no intention of risking my life and fortune just to ruin the fortune teller’s business.”
Jian Cunyi chuckled softly.
"Hey, since I invited you, I certainly don't have any intention of harming you."
"Although I am weaker than him and cannot guarantee that I can protect you... you possess the 'Fragment of Destiny,' so he will not dare to kill you."
Lin Yu asked, puzzled, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
“Because he wants to recast the power of ‘destiny,’ and each ‘fragment of destiny’ must be obtained at a specific time, in a specific place, at a ‘destiny node,’” Jian Cunyi said calmly. “Otherwise, he should have been hunting me down all over the world long ago.”
