Chapter 210: Kidnapped Yier (Two in One)
The profession of [Swindler], as mentioned earlier, once played a crucial role in the plan to kill Xie Qian.
It is to use the effect of the skill [Hide the Sky and Ocean] to set up a shocking scam, replace a certain concept with Xie Qian, and finally kill this concept, which is equivalent to killing Xie Qian.
This is the only way to kill Xie Qian in the game.
However, this method requires long-term arrangements and planning. Most importantly, one must start with the Confucian route and acquire the ability to "put on the law as it is said."
Even though Gu Fangchen got this profession randomly now, he can no longer use it to make the same plan to kill Xie Qian, and it can no longer bring out its greatest use.
However, the two supporting skills of the [Swindler] profession are still very practical.
[Hide the truth] By replacing the meaning of the word, one can lie to people whose realm is far superior to his, and the other party will not notice at all.
Because in the game, replacing the meaning of a word will directly change the underlying game code.
But in today's world, it is a magical skill that replaces even cause and effect!
Since even cause and effect are true, then what I say cannot be more true, without any deception at all!
That is why this skill can be combined with "Words Come True" to complete a shocking murder plan.
[Ocean's Eleven] Although it can replace cause and effect, it is ultimately a castle in the air.
If two things are to be completely replaced, the causal difference between them must be filled.
This requires a lot of karma.
But in daily use, this skill itself is completely sufficient.
Coupled with the passive skill [Fine Words and Flattering Appearance], it is icing on the cake. Basically, unless there is a completely irreparable flaw, it will never be discovered.
However, this [Hide the Truth] skill actually has a hidden condition.
That is, when communicating with the same person, you can only replace the meaning of one word before completing or abandoning the previous scam.
To put it simply, although this skill does not stipulate that you cannot change words in the middle - for example, you first change "chocolate" to "shit", but suddenly change your mind and change "sweet rice dumplings" to "salty rice dumplings".
But when you are trying to deceive someone, you can only continue to use one word replacement for a short period of time.
This is not a hard and fast rule, but a rule summarized by players through practice.
After all, the skill needs to remain undetected in order to be effective. If the previous scam has not been completed and another word is substituted, there is basically a 90% chance that it will be detected.
For example... the shit is still in the other person's mouth, so you change "sweet rice dumplings" to "salty rice dumplings".
Then the words just replaced will be invalid, and the other party will definitely notice that something is wrong immediately.
So, even if I want to carry out the next scam, I have to wait until the other party has digested all the shit and is completely unaware of it...
By the way, in the original game, the profession of [Swindler] is a necessary prerequisite for following the path of the Demon Cult and joining the path of "Love".
And now, Gu Fangchen has become the master of the "love" path on his own, and only now has he randomly been assigned the [Swindler] profession.
I don't know if this is some kind of belated affirmation from the system...
At this moment, the word that Gu Fangchen chose to replace was actually "lustful at the sight of beauty".
What was used to replace "lust at first sight" is obviously "love at first sight".
As the saying goes, the essence of love at first sight is lust at first sight.
The difference between these two words can be said to be minimal, and there will basically be no deviation.
This is also the primary factor that needs to be considered when using the skill [Hide the Sky and Escape].
That is, the two words must have enough similarities.
Only in this way can the scam become reliable.
It's like the similarity between "chocolate" and "shit"... In a sense, it's like playing a single-player version of "Who's Undercover?"
Secondly, replacing a word is naturally for a certain purpose.
Gu Fangchen was facing the pursuit of the "Four-phase robbery master" at this time. His worst plan at the beginning was to resist and then threaten the other party with the "Wheel of Sea Robbery" and the dragon veins in his body.
——Counting the dragon vein of national destiny residing on the imperial seal, Gu Fangchen has two dragon veins in his body. As long as he is given time, he can immediately create a simplified single-player version of the "Heaven and Earth Furnace" formation.
This formation is the super-large formation that Xu Fu created with the head of Emperor Yong'an in the ending of [Demons Descend to Earth].
Of course, based on Gu Fangchen's understanding of formations, this thing just borrowed the name of "Heaven and Earth Furnace" and has no substantial relationship with "Furnace".
It can gather the power of the dragon veins of national destiny and improve the cultivation of monks within the entire country.
It is conceivable how terrifying the effect would be if it were used to bless a single person.
However, this thing is really too terrifying. Once Gu Fangchen successfully launches it, the opponent will be dead, but he himself will also be left with little health, and the consequences are estimated to be more serious than when he had to withstand the attack of the "God of War".
The reason why he was so tough was because Gu Fangchen had already given up the idea of running away.
The first time he saw Lu Fuyi, he tried to open the "longitude and latitude room".
But failed.
This means that the other party already knows that he has mastered the "longitude and latitude" and space teleportation abilities.
Come to think of it, although there was an information gap, he had slipped away so many times, and Lu Fuyi had seen him use the "Teleportation Array 1.14514" with her own eyes in the Wenwu Tower, so it was obvious that he was on guard.
This time, when they came to intercept him, they should have directly and temporarily blocked the nearby space.
Gu Fangchen recognized that this was the ability of the "Six Star Lords".
After the causal line was concluded, although the "Six Star Gods" failed to truly construct his own longitude and latitude horoscope, he had been reincarnated in this world for an unknown amount of time and was able to have an impact on this world.
When he unfolds his own natal chart, the covered area will become a space controlled by him.
Although it cannot be said to be equivalent to GM, it also has some authority.
It was more than enough to ban Gu Fangchen’s teleportation ability.
At this moment, if it weren't for the Imperial Master who was there to support him and silently exert his strength to fight against the "Six Star Lords", Gu Fangchen would have died the moment he fell into the fate plate and been directly wiped out.
Fortunately, the random profession is good.
The skill of [Cheater] can just help him...
Lu Fuyi was stunned when he heard this, because he knew very well how insidious and cunning Gu Fangchen was. He was able to deceive the "love" sect and finally willingly worship him as the leader of the sect, and even betray the demon sect. It was simply impossible to deal with him.
Anyone who believes even a single word of truth in his mouth must be the biggest fool in the world!
Therefore, long before taking action, the "Six Star Gods" had already laid a tight net. At the same time, when the entire horoscope unfolded, it already had the ability to discern the truth from the false.
Because the "Six Star Gods" have been reincarnating between heaven and earth for such a long time, weaving the warp and weft, they have collected enough causes and effects in both time and space, and it can be said that they have become a large database.
Relying on the vast amount of cause and effect, any lie within the horoscope will be exposed in an instant.
As soon as Lu Fuyi heard what Gu Fangchen said, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Has this guy finally run out of tricks?
How dare you tell such an obvious lie, trying to please the Daoist Master of "Destruction" with false affection? You are really afraid that you won't die fast enough!
As the prince of Zhenbei, what kind of woman doesn't he have around him?
What's more, Gu Fangchen already has a reputation for being a playboy. He hangs out in brothels all day long and is a real veteran in the love field.
When he came to provoke her, he was clearly in a frivolous attitude, and he even had the audacity to say that he fell in love with her at first sight!
Pooh!
Not to mention love at first sight, even if it was lust at first sight, it's not convincing at all!
When she was the leader of the "Destruction" sect, she always covered her true face with a black mask so that no one could see her. She even often dressed as a man so that no one knew her true identity.
When she was Yi'er, she was just a simple bar girl. In terms of appearance, she was just pretty and gentle, and in terms of personality, there was nothing outstanding about her.
Lu Fuyi was certain that this guy must be lying, and then subconsciously sensed the feedback from the horoscope.
Then, the sneer on Lu Fuyi's lips suddenly froze, and his eyes were stunned -
How is that possible?!
This guy, he didn't lie?!
No, it's impossible... this scoundrel...
The "Four-phase Tribulation Lord" frowned and sensed it again without giving up.
It’s still the truth!
At this moment, Lu Fuyi was struck by lightning. The red umbrella in her hand, which was originally ready to be used, stopped moving. Her heart skipped a beat and she inexplicably tightened her grip on the umbrella handle.
Seeing this, Gu Fangchen curled the corners of his mouth and flew forward boldly, approaching the girl in red.
Lu Fuyi quickly raised the umbrella in her hand, and several cold blades popped out from the ribs of the umbrella, circling around, emitting a terrifying aura of annihilation, stopping Gu Fangchen.
Her eyes returned to their coldness as she looked at Gu Fangchen and said in a cold voice:
"You're lying!"
"Don't think you can fool me like this. Besides, even if you fall in love with me at first sight, it's just wishful thinking on your part. What does it have to do with me?"
Hearing this, Gu Fangchen adjusted his expression, smiled with a hint of bitterness, and said frankly:
"Who I like is indeed none of your business, Lord Robbery Master, but I know full well that I will probably die today. I say this not because I hope Lord Robbery Master will let me go..."
He sighed, looked deeply at the girl in front of him, and said softly:
"It's just that I don't want to. In the future, when the robbery master thinks of me, he will always think that I am a heartless and treacherous guy."
"All the truths I said when we first met under the apricot tree are now lies."
Gu Fangchen lowered his eyes and shook his head:
"Maybe this is karma... I've deceived so many people, even in the realm of love, but this time, even though what I said was clearly the truth, it was taken as a lie."
"Well, I've said everything I need to say."
"Although I am unwilling to die in your hands, I have no regrets..."
After saying this, he ignored the aura of annihilation and continued to move forward, opening his arms as if wanting to embrace the "Four Phases Lord" in front of him.
Lu Fuyi's eyes moved, but her expression remained cold. She pursed her lips tightly, and her hands did not move at all, with no intention of stopping.
“Puff!”
The several cold blades flying in the air pierced through Gu Fangchen's body and penetrated deeply into his flesh.
Even with his recast body, it could not withstand such a terrifying power of "destruction" and shattered into pieces and dust.
In the blink of an eye, his arm was shattered, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Only the meridians and bones still emitted a faint glow, with only a tendency to break.
Fortunately, his body was strong enough, otherwise he would have died before the effect could be seen.
Gu Fangchen was secretly shocked.
His method was also a desperate one. Although he would be injured at this moment, it was at most a part of a self-torture tactic. It was much better than being directly smashed into pieces by the Daoist Master of "Extermination".
He had actually fought against the [Four-phase Robber Lord] in the game, and he knew clearly that his current form was at most a defensive state, and it had no real power at all.
Gu Fangchen took a deep breath.
Because the distance was close enough, he could smell a faint scent of apricot blossoms. He breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that it was safe.
Of course, there was a reason why he confessed his feelings.
First of all, Lu Fuyi just calculated the total account, and there were two calculations in total.
First, he stole the "Jie Hai Ye Lun" and deceived her into believing that he was a Confucian, leading her to oppose Confucianism.
Second, he teased Yi'er and stole her daughter's red wine.
In terms of severity, the former is more infuriating.
But he just clearly felt that the robbery master clearly cared more about the latter...
This reminded Gu Fangchen of one of the few settings about Yier.
After being deeply influenced by vernacular stories, Yier likes to read tragic stories like Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, and yearns for a love story like a burglary.
Of course, as the ultimate face control, Yier only desires to fall in love with people who are good-looking enough.
At the same time, Yi'er and Lu Fuyi became two souls in one.
In other words, the person reading the storybook might not be just Yi'er, but also Lu Fuyi herself...
In the past, when Gu Fangchen watched players discussing on the forum, there were also some curious people who had similar guesses.
And this conjecture is not groundless.
After killing Lu Fuyi, the clue obtained from her was that her fingers had the scent of apricot blossoms and wine.
But there was no scent of apricot blossoms on Yier's hands.
Because she needed to brew wine, and the taste of the wine would be contaminated by the apricot blossoms, so her slender fingers were very clean.
In other words, it is very likely that only Lu Fuyi can be tainted with the scent of apricot blossoms.
However, because all the times matched, the players did not find any substantial evidence to prove that Lu Fuyi did have the same hobby. The final conclusion was even that the two would not appear at the same time.
But now, Gu Fangchen can prove it.
Because according to the original timeline, Lu Fuyi should not appear at this moment. The one here should be Yi'er!
In other words, Lu Fuyi is now forcibly occupying the body.
If you force yourself to log in, you will lose the initiative...
Gu Fangchen's expression remained firm as he continued forward.
