Chapter 37: Earning Points
Another ability of the Lie Eater is the ability to detect other people's lies.
So with the help of this effect, Lin En easily selected the most devout believers among the group and carried out the first wave of talk therapy.
The reason why these 312 people gathered here was mainly because of the mischief caused by those devout believers.
As the saying goes, hit the snake at its most vulnerable part.
As long as these new forces of resistance are eliminated one by one, it will be easier to deal with those who have impure beliefs or ulterior motives.
They are just a bunch of small fry.
Lynn thought silently.
Time flies.
Soon, the evening sunset enveloped the earth, dyeing everything around it with a magnificent red color.
Before she knew it, Lynn had spent an entire afternoon outside of town.
Several hours were spent communicating with believers.
Finally, with the 232nd prompt sound from the system, Lin En had fooled most of the devout believers present into signing the extraordinary contract.
On the other hand, he pocketed 23 system points.
After a busy afternoon, Lin En felt a little tired.
It’s a pity that there is no afternoon tea or dessert around to replenish sugar.
He was just about to raise his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his face when he suddenly felt his shoulders sink.
He glanced over and saw that it was Afia who had jumped onto his shoulders.
"for you."
She had a handkerchief in her mouth, which carried a faint sweet scent unique to young girls.
"Oh, thank you."
Lynn took the handkerchief and wiped it twice before realizing something was wrong.
Wasn't she angry just now? How come she suddenly became so well-behaved after not seeing her for a few hours? Noticing Lin En's gaze, Afia seemed a little embarrassed.
She turned her head away and said angrily, "Yes, it was His Highness who asked me to keep an eye on you, and you were working for His Highness, I can't just watch you die of exhaustion here."
"Oh, by the way, where did you get this handkerchief?"
"Girls' secrets!"
After messing around with Afia for a while, she jumped off Lynn's shoulders in cat form and ran back to the carriage.
Looking at her small figure, Lin En couldn't help but smile.
Then, he turned his attention back to the last group of people surrounding in the distance.
The remaining eighty people are basically guys who are trying to take advantage of the situation.
They neither believed in the goddess of creation nor wanted to enter the city just like that.
There is only one meaning in both the words and the meaning behind them.
Resettlement fee.
If you want them to stop causing trouble, you must give them a sum of money that satisfies them, otherwise they will refuse to leave.
Of course, except for a bald man hiding in the crowd.
He looked so ordinary that it was almost difficult to even notice his presence.
But in the system interface, this guy doesn't fit in with the surroundings.
Because he is the only C-level plot character among all the believers present.
[Character name: Marc Blanchard]
[Plot level: C]
[Plot deviation: 0.00%]
If you can maximize his plot deviation, you will be rewarded with 10 system points.
How could we let such a fresh and fat sheep run away?
Lin En also had some guesses about this guy's identity.
It is obvious that there must be an organizer among this group of believers of the Goddess of Creation who are causing trouble.
Maybe everyone else is innocent, but the person who organized this chaos is definitely the one who deserves it.
It is even possible that he did this because he received orders from someone.
Thinking of this, Lynn no longer hesitated.
"You, come here."
He spoke to the bald man.
Mark was obviously stunned for a few seconds, and seemed to have no idea why the boy called him.
Could it be that his identity has been exposed?
A trace of uneasiness emerged in his heart.
"Sir, what do you want from me?"
He spoke in a humble tone.
Lin En looked at him for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are you an ordinary believer of the Creation School?"
"Of course, I can recite every doctrine in the scriptures."
Malk said confidently.
This is a lie.
Lynn could tell instantly that he was lying.
Where exactly is the lie?
In fact, he can't memorize every doctrine in the scriptures?
There is no need to lie about this because it will be easily exposed.
Well, the lie part comes first.
In fact, Mark is not just an ordinary believer of the Creation School, he has another identity.
Combined with the fact that he could memorize every doctrine, and the fact that the plot level was as high as C, Lin En could conclude that he was the organizer of this chaos.
He is also a remnant member of the Creation School and is by no means an ordinary believer.
So he suddenly came close to Mark and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Mark, it's really hard for you to achieve this step. The school will remember your contribution."
When he revealed his name, Mark's eyes flashed with panic and suspicion.
How did this guy know his real name?
Obviously, I should have used a pseudonym when announcing it to others.
Could it be that... Some guesses arose in his mind, and he suddenly became a little excited.
At this moment, he completely believed that Lin En was a devout believer of the Goddess of Creation.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Under this premise, there is actually only one possibility for saying such things to him.
The school has not been completely wiped out! They still have remnants and can revive at any time! Thinking of this, Mark was as excited as if he had found an organization.
But the remaining doubt in his heart made him steady himself: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Seeing this, Lin En patted his shoulder to show his closeness: "You are very vigilant, which is a good thing, but it seems that the order given by that master to you and me is different?"
"My mission is to minimize the impact of this incident, which seems to conflict with your mission. What's going on?"
Lynn looked at him suspiciously.
Hearing this, Mark finally let down his guard.
He breathed a sigh of relief, looked around warily, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Is the adult you are talking about the one from the imperial capital?"
Imperial capital?
It is true.
Lin En had some guesses in his mind, but on the surface he nodded in agreement: "That's right."
Seeing this, Mark's eyes showed a trace of surprise: "But the order that lord gave me was to find an opportunity to poison the food of these people, kill them all, and put the blame on the demon who destroyed the school, that is, the third princess."
It was actually aimed at Yvesette?
Lynn couldn't help but gasp.
This plan was extremely vicious. Once it was implemented, no one would believe it even if Iviste had evidence to prove her innocence.
By that time, she would have no chance of being chosen by the king.
Even under the wrath of Saint Laurent VI, it is very likely that he would be killed for the sake of justice in front of the world.
Perhaps in the original novel, this is how she was gradually forced to become a villain.
Did this action of mine indirectly change her fate?
After this incident is over, Ivester's plot deviation will probably increase again.
Thinking of this, Lin En no longer hesitated and smiled at Mark: "By the way, regarding that adult, he seems to have another order, do you want to hear it?"
"What orders?"
Mark was a little curious.
"He asked me to take you on your way."
As he spoke, Lin En took out his gun smoothly and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang--!!!"
With a muffled sound, Mark fell backwards with a confused look in his eyes.
[The plot deviation of C-level plot character "Marc Blanchard" has been increased to 100.00%. 】
10 system points are credited to your account.
Sure enough, this method is the most labor-saving.
Lynn thought silently.
After witnessing his murder, the people gathered in the distance suddenly panicked.
Lynn raised his sleeve to wipe the blood off his face, giving a kind smile and trying to make himself look less callous.
"One hundred copper coins per person. Take the money and sign the contract immediately, then get out."
"One, one hundred? That's too few."
"Bang--!!!"
Lynn fired another shot into the air, then said with a smile, "Now that's fifty."
Now, the remaining seventy-nine people who were trying to take advantage of the situation could no longer sit still and ran towards Graya in the distance.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat, right?
If you continue to act like a rogue, I'm afraid you won't even get fifty copper coins.
Besides, this guy really dared to kill people! For a time, people were in panic.
Looking at the long queue in the distance, Lin En couldn't help but whistle.
It's that simple.
In one afternoon, a total of 41 system points were credited to my account. Adding the remaining 2 points, I now have a total of 43 points in my account.
It's time to go back and report to that woman.
