Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1375: A Handbook of Strategies for Dealing with Diviners

"The feud between 'feng shui masters' and 'diviners' is deeper than imagined... This is truly good news."

Jian Cunyi's current performance has allowed Lin Yu to completely rule out the worst possibility, which is already extremely slim but could have terrible consequences if it happens—what if the 'feng shui master' and 'diviner' in front of him are in cahoots to sabotage him and 'Order'?

After all, all the current accounts of the "Fragment of Fate" and the "Power of Fate" were told to him by Jian Cunyi, and Lin Yu couldn't ask others to verify their authenticity.

Although the comedian mentioned it, feng shui masters and fortune tellers are well-known enemies.

But that's just hearsay from a comedian. What if it's fake news deliberately spread by the two of them?

Even if Lin Yu went to 'Order' or 'Raiders' to verify, he might not be able to get any true and reliable information.

After all, Lin Yu understood very well how easily public opinion and rumors could be manipulated.

Who knows, Schreiber might even become enemies with the director in the future!

But the current performance of "Feng Shui Master" Jian Cunyi shows that he is absolutely not lying.

Although he remained calm, it was probably because of his personality—whether it was his innate detachment from worldly affairs or his cultivation that required him to always maintain such a calm state of mind, Jian Cunyi's calm tone and expression at this moment were simply due to his cultivation and temperament.

Lin Yu could clearly read the genuine hatred hidden beneath that calm and unchanging exterior—a hatred that was "unforgivable" and "unforgivable."

Lin Yu even silently memorized the other person's micro-expressions and tone of voice at that moment, in order to enrich his own performance material library.

It is indeed rare to find material that expresses such overwhelming hatred while maintaining extreme restraint.

Therefore, this is definitely not fake.

But if this is also a "performance" by Jian Cunyi...

Lin Yu felt that he had been deceived by acting skills of this caliber, which led him to a desperate situation or even death, and there was nothing more to say about it.

Having fooled himself in his area of ​​expertise, Lin Yu had to admit defeat.

Moreover, this is absolutely impossible.

No one in the world could perform and design with such naturalness and flawlessness.

and so……

At this moment, Lin Yu's trust in Jian Cunyi increased even further.

At least when it comes to causing trouble for the "fortune teller," this guy should be trustworthy.

at the same time……

This hatred can also be used as a foundation for gaining the other party's further trust.

Lin Yu looked at Jian Cunyi and spoke in an equally calm tone.

"So that's how it is. The hatred between you is this deep..."

Jian Cunyi looked at Lin Yu: "Yes, although those who passed away were not even from the same world as me, but were just 'native residents' of the Prison Mountain Realm, the feelings I built with them were just as genuine."

Lin Yu nodded: "I understand. I have many friends in the Ten Realms. If they were to die at the hands of other 'players'... I'm afraid I couldn't accept it."

“I’m willing to help you—and since you have this much hatred for ‘fortune tellers,’ our cooperation can perhaps be even closer.”

Lin Yu's words, however, puzzled Jian Cunyi.

"how do I say this?"

Lin Yu said in a low voice, "Because he also killed my dearest loved ones... Although he didn't do it directly, if you trace it back to the source, he can be considered someone who was involved in the scheme."

Jian Cun was taken aback for a moment, and said, "There's such a thing... Well, Director, please accept my condolences."

Lin Yu shook his head: "I feel no grief in my heart now, only hatred."

"But you're both 'Tier 4' players, and you're ranked seventh on the leaderboard, yet you still haven't figured out a way to kill him?"

Jian Cunyi did not deny it: "Although the second and seventh place seem to be not far apart, the gap in strength between us is indeed so large that I have no chance of killing him head-on... Moreover, he has a wide variety of ways to protect himself. Even 'Grandmasters' and 'Generals' have a hard time dealing with him. I really can't do it and can't think of any way to kill him."

Lin Yu said regretfully, "Now that I'm only at the 'second tier,' it seems my chances of revenge are even more distant."

“In fact… if it weren’t for the fact that collecting the ‘Fragments of Fate’ you mentioned earlier requires a specific time and place, I think surviving from him wouldn’t have been an easy task.”

Jian Cunyi looked at Lin Yu: "Killing him is naturally difficult, but... perhaps you have a better chance than I do."

“After all, we are similar in ability, both of us are ‘monks’ in our ‘profession’, and we have basically learned all our skills from the Prison Mountain Realm. Our ‘tools’ are also very similar,” Jian Cunyi sighed. “When it comes to having similar abilities, I am naturally far inferior to him in terms of background and hard power.”

"On the contrary, you took a different path...and as you grow, you might actually have a chance to kill him."

Jian Cunyi said earnestly.

Although these words sounded like encouragement and comfort, Lin Yu could tell that... Jian Cunyi seemed to genuinely believe it.

"Then... I'll take your kind words."

Lin Yu responded.

Jian Cunyi seemed to be inspired by his own words and pondered, "Hmm, this is not just a simple wish... You do seem to be the player with the highest potential among all the 'players' I have seen."

"Moreover, you have the 'Fragment of Fate' with you, and you will inevitably have the opportunity to get entangled with or even fight the 'Diviner' in the future. In addition, you said that you also have a grudge against him... So it seems that you might really be the best candidate to kill him."

Jian Cunyi looked at Lin Yu, his eyes revealing a hint of appreciation and expectation.

"In this light, although the 'Professor' from the 'Order' side warned me not to publicize the 'Diviner''s' information so that he might do something with the 'Fragment of Fate,' you are already 'entangled in fate' with him and also have the 'Fragment of Fate' with you, so it might not hurt to tell you some things in advance."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately showed interest.

After all, according to the comedian, Chien Tsun-yi once published a detailed profile of a fortune teller!

Sure enough, it was the right thing to try and get closer to the other party!

Lin Yu immediately replied, "Of course, he already had his eye on me anyway."

"I suppose you are aware of many of his strengths and weaknesses, right?"

Jian Cun nodded, and without even beginning to narrate, he directly took out a "jade slip" from his bosom.

"This is my research on the abilities of the 'diviner,' which basically covers all the Taoist arts and magic, martial arts and techniques he has mastered. I have also written down some insights on the effects of most of them, how to dismantle them, and how to guard against them."

"At the same time, I have also made a rough record of many of the [tools] he is good at using. However, I did not write down the countermeasures for most of those [tools]. After all, dealing with [tools] still requires other [tools]. Once you know their effects, you can adjust them according to your own [tool] set."

"Of course... I didn't record his most important [exclusive item] and 'Mind Domain'—because that 'Diviner' guy is very cunning. Although he must have used his [exclusive item] and 'Mind Domain' when he fought me and other experts, I haven't figured out how his two unique abilities work yet, so I won't mislead you for now."

Jian Cunyi spoke in detail, pausing for a moment: "Besides, you know his personality... This guy cares almost nothing about anything except his own life and interests. This kind of cold-blooded animal, who is inherently selfish and has no moral sense, is almost 'flawless' in this respect... So it is meaningless to try to threaten or shake him with underhanded tactics, so I didn't make any records of these aspects."

"However, if you are interested in learning about his basic information, I can tell you—although even 'Order' is unclear, I have deduced some information through certain means, but it may not be accurate."

As Jian Cunyi spoke, Lin Yu naturally had no objections.

"You said."

"First of all, he should be an orphan without parents, and there should be no blood relatives of his in this world... His birthplace should be in North China, the specific province is unclear, but there are rumors that he was from Beijing."

"This guy should be twenty-nine years old, but his exact birth date... let me calculate it."

Jian Cunyi quickly calculated with her fingers and then skillfully recited the fortune teller's birth date and time, even more smoothly and familiarly than when she gave the last four digits of her phone number when booking a ride online.

After hearing this information, Lin Yu was somewhat surprised by the age of the "diviner".

This guy is actually twenty-nine years old?

Although it's not very meaningful for the players of the "Death Game" to worry about age, Lin Yu still thought the "fortune teller" would be younger.

After all, in Bai Sha's memory, the two of them looked quite young before they joined the "Death Game".

Based on Bai Sha's age, Lin Yu thought the "fortune teller" was at most two or three years older than him.

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then took the initiative to ask about the 'Feng Shui Master'.

"Master Feng Shui, these are indeed very useful, but... is there anything more practical and specific?"

"For example, his current address, assets, or real name?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Jian Cunyi shook his head helplessly: "I can't deduce things like addresses and assets... This is something that your 'Order' is better at investigating."

"Of course, given that guy's cautious nature, I'm afraid even your 'Order' wouldn't be able to find out... He might have completely erased his past and is basically an unregistered person now."

"As for your real name... I won't mind telling you."

Lin Yu nodded: "Then please tell me, maybe I'll be able to get some kind of [item] like the 'Seven Arrows of Nailhead' or the 'Death Note' in the future?"

“If there really is one, that would be perfect,” Jian Cunyi said softly. “The real name of the ‘Diviner’ is… Calm.”

Hearing Jian Cunyi's words, Lin Yu subconsciously felt a little strange.

I wasn't even agitated, so why did the other person suddenly tell me to calm down?

But then, combining this with Bai Sha's memory of calling him "Brother Jing," Lin Yu realized what had happened.

"His name is Calm?"

"Yes, calm down, just like the calm 'calm down' in 'calm down'."
