Chapter 1327 The Strength of the Corpse
The moment he heard the word "believe", Lin Yu was convinced...
All my guesses were correct.
Because these puppets do not have independent consciousness and cannot produce "belief", the source of those "beliefs" at this moment is the mastermind behind the scenes himself.
He was indeed spying on this place, using the puppet's vision to personally monitor and even be ready to take over and manipulate the situation here at any time.
At the same time, because the other party believed Lin Yu's words... it also confirmed once again that he did not understand the technology he mastered.
the most important is……
He really didn't understand "Arthur".
"So, that guy actually didn't know the connection between Arthur and the 'Director'."
This means...
It's not just the other person who is in the dark.
Compared to the murderer behind the scenes, at least his identity as "John H. Arthur" was beyond the other party's expectations and was completely hidden in the dark.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu immediately understood that his subsequent actions could be bolder.
But... there is no need to rush about the future.
What is more important now is the battle he is facing.
And the immediate benefits of these "beliefs" are...
Wherever the mental power spread, Lin Yuzhen gained control of some corpses!
Under the influence of mental power, about dozens of corpses were brought under Lin Yu's control.
Old Zheng, who assisted Lin Yu in releasing his mental power, felt the feedback and couldn't help but admire it.
"That's really exaggerated, Boss. Did you really forcefully control these guys without any mental power or soul?"
After Lin Yu gained control through the ability of the "Trickster", he also had a deeper understanding of the operating mode of these puppets.
The monster puppets made from these corpses directly utilize the original brain and nervous system and add some active alchemical materials from the emotional spectrum of the wasteland to stimulate the brain to produce new "emotions" and "thought fluctuations" similar to consciousness.
At the same time, by utilizing this newly generated "consciousness" within the body, extracting it using some means and solidifying it on other alchemical materials of the fusion lineage, and then fusing it back into the original body, a monster with "pseudo-self-consciousness" is formed.
Therefore, these monsters are not so much "living things" as they are some kind of artificial intelligence created with flesh and blood as raw materials, supplemented by alchemical materials and the alchemy of the wasteland.
Their self-awareness is a disguise and naturally cannot be manipulated by mental power.
But after the ability of the "Trickster" took effect, the power of "belief" immediately strengthened the mental power released by Lin Yu and Lao Zheng, allowing these mental powers to remain directly in the corpse and merge again, allowing the corpse without mental power to gain mental power, thereby allowing Lin Yu to gain control.
Lin Yu also immediately planted seeds of spiritual power in the corpses that he had control over, completely controlling the corpses that he had seized control of.
He quickly counted the amount he had taken...
"Ninety-two!"
Although it was only one tenth, it instantly caused the original huge gap between nine hundred and four people to lose an order of magnitude.
Lin Yu was manipulating those living corpses, including men, women, young and old. A normal person would probably feel a little uncomfortable, but for Lin Yu, who had experienced more thread operations than this, he naturally got the hang of it immediately.
Just like playing a third-person strategy game, Lin Yu manipulated the "defected" corpses to quickly surround himself, protecting himself and his group in the center of the ninety-two corpses.
Watching this scene, Huo Xing from the Nightless Sky also cheered: "Amazing, Director Arthur—he actually managed to seize control of so many corpses!"
"Once you win, can you lend it to me to play with?"
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Of course, and if we capture more 'corpses' from the other side, I can give them all to you."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xing gave a thumbs-up: "That's great, my friend. You are truly my most generous and loyal friend. If you want to marry me, I will agree."
Lin Yu was helpless: "I don't have this idea."
Fu Luo looked at Buyetian Huoxing with some horror - in Fu Luo's eyes, Buyetian Huoxing was a fighter armed to the teeth, with a tall and burly figure and a deep and magnetic voice.
"Are you gay?"
Nevernight Huo Xing nodded: "Yes, do you like it, handsome guy with a mask."
Lin Yu said helplessly: "There's no need to hide it from Forboluo now... Let me introduce you, this is Nevernight Fire Apricot."
"I should have told you a long time ago, but I just kept forgetting."
As Lin Yu spoke, Fu Luo finally reacted.
"Oh, Buyetian Huoxing, so it's the Second Young Lady... uh, wait?"
"How did you get the second young lady of the Buyetian family here?"
Nevernight Huo Xing sighed, "Everyone's trying to undermine me. It's so frustrating... Arthur and I hit it off right away and have a very close relationship, so when he came to the Great Wasteland to investigate, I naturally wanted to help."
Fu Luo looked at Lin Yu in shock, his eyes revealing the meaning of "I feel so miserable because you lied to me."
After all, he had often flaunted his good relationship with Huo Le of Buye City and the head of the Buye City in front of Lin Yu, and had also made many remarks like "Come to Buye City and I will protect you".
This was also one of the few areas in the past where Fu Luo felt he could help Lin Yu.
But this experience made Fu Luo discover that Lin Yu actually knew the head of Buye Tian family and had the identity of a B-1 level supervisor.
He even has such a close relationship with the Nevernight Fire Apricot.
Lin Yu also saw Fu Luo's thoughts and waved his hand: "I didn't know her well before. It's thanks to you that I became friends with her."
As Lin Yu said this, Fu Luo felt his self-esteem was slightly restored.
Although it is still a bit shocking, it is now acceptable.
"I see……"
As Fu Luo was speaking, Captain Gao Shan's voice sounded again.
"Aren't you a little too relaxed..."
"Although I admit that your ability to instantly control one-tenth of my companions was indeed unexpected... but if you think that this will win you and allow you to walk out of here alive, you are gravely mistaken."
The monster that was living in Captain Gaoshan's body spoke, then raised one hand, and a shield and a horn appeared in his hand.
Fu Luo widened his eyes.
"I saw a ghost..."
Not only Fu Luo, but even Lin Yu and Lao Zheng were shocked this time.
"Boss, am I seeing things right... This should be Captain Gaoshan's... [Prop]?!"
For the first time, the knowledgeable Mr. Zheng was shocked by the abilities displayed by others.
Lin Yu, who had gained control and roughly understood the principles of these corpse monsters' activities, realized at this moment...
"These corpses are hiding secrets that I haven't discovered yet!"
The monster created from Captain Takayama's corpse can actually use Captain Takayama's [Items]!
Now, among the corpses that Lin Yu has seized control of, although most of them are natives of the Wasteland Realm, there are also a few corpses that look like "players".
But at this moment, Lin Yu could not feel that he could use the [props] with the help of the corpses of those [players].
At the same time, this mysterious effect itself will tilt the balance of combat power again.
The situation that Lin Yu had originally thought was almost certain to succeed now became full of crisis.
After all, the combat power of a corpse, even if it is strengthened into a monster like Lao Zheng with huge strength and pain all over his body, the threat it can pose to a master is extremely limited.
Although the number of nine hundred is terrifying, Lin Yu also has ninety on his side - as one increases while the other decreases, Lin Yu's pressure is naturally greatly reduced.
But if the corpse of the "player" can use "items"... even if it can only use these two items, the difficulty will increase exponentially.
Among these nine hundred corpses, judging from their attire, there are probably nearly thirty players' corpses.
If Captain Takayama's corpse monster using [Items] wasn't a special case, and all "player" corpses could use [Items]...
Then the chances of winning this battle will be reduced again!
not to mention……
If players can use [props], will the remaining corpses that look like natives of the wasteland also be able to use the abilities that the corpse possessed when it was alive?
For example...alchemy.
Soon, Lin Yu's worst guess was confirmed.
The eight hundred or so corpses around them quickly prepared for battle—alchemical energy surged from the natives' bodies, and the "players" picked up their "items."
Although there were many non-combatants among the corpses of the natives of the wasteland, accounting for about half of the total, there was no aura of alchemy emerging from their bodies, or there was only very weak alchemical energy.
But a rough calculation shows that the number of corpses that are releasing considerable alchemical active energy at this moment is still more than three hundred!
Huo Xing from Nevernight, who didn't quite understand what it meant for players to be able to use items, finally felt the pressure after the abundant alchemical active energy emerged.
"Arthur, this opponent you provoked is truly a shrewd stunner... He can actually use corpses to perform alchemy and create alchemical artifacts?! Furthermore, the energy fluctuations in each corpse are completely different—how did he do that?"
Lin Yu whispered, "Perhaps the controller has some method to allow these corpses to use their abilities in life..."
"Mother is right. Among you visitors from other worlds, there are always terrifying individuals with supernatural powers." Huo Xing sighed. "Do you have any countermeasures?"
Lin Yu shook his head.
Buyetian Huoxing pursed her lips, then patted the captain: "Since you can't do anything... then it seems that now we can only fight to the death!"
"Captain, I'm sorry to have dragged you into this!"
The captain shook his head. "No problem, sir—I'm ready and prepared to die for you."
Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huoxing: "Rather than saying that you implicated the captain, it would be better to say that I implicated you."
Huo Xing of Buyetian shook his head.
"My answer is the same as the Captain's, Arthur, my dear friend."
"Although I wasn't prepared...but if I died here today, I wouldn't feel any regret or remorse!"
