Chapter 328: Unpredictable and Confusing

"Why didn't you squeeze me out of the game?" Lin Bai asked.

"I don't dare to." Zheng Tong looked at the shadow on the floor-to-ceiling window and said with a sense of grievance, "If I squeeze you out of the game, who knows what you'll do with my body?"

"Little Zheng, after being possessed by me, your IQ has clearly improved quite a bit!" Lin Bai laughed. "You even know how to consider the big picture."

"To hell with considering the big picture; I simply don't trust you." Zheng Tong said irritably, "By guarding my own body, even if I'm possessed by you, I at least know what I've done. That's better than being harmed by you for no reason. Just now, I really wanted you to stay in the game and never come out again. The thought of a man living inside my body makes me sick..."

Under the True Speech Art.

Zheng Tong didn't bother trying to lie; he basically said whatever came to mind, completely disregarding Lin Bai's feelings.

"Don't be afraid, you'll adapt slowly," Lin Bai said. "I am a very charming person. With me controlling your body, you will enjoy many things you couldn't enjoy before."

"We are all young people; I know what you're worried about. You know how outstanding the women I have in the game are, so I'm not interested in doing those things when you're in love or married. When you're in the mood, you can tell me in advance, and I'll enter the game to avoid it so that no one feels awkward."

Zheng Tong seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Don't you go messing around with my body..."

Lin Bai was unwilling to waste too much time and used Being Read Mind to directly describe his plan: "I have decided to take your place and play the game..."

After hearing Lin Bai's plan, Zheng Tong was beyond furious.

Not only was his body occupied, but he didn't even have game freedom anymore.

"You use my body to play the game, so what do I do?" Zheng Tong roared at his own shadow; only in this way did he feel like he was talking to someone else, rather than a crazy person talking to himself.

"When I'm gaming, you can watch my live stream offline. This way, you can intuitively understand what I'm doing, which is most beneficial for both of us. After all, you run around everywhere in this world. Being in the game and in the Real World at the same time makes it easy to get exposed if someone finds out," Lin Bai said. "Of course, I know this isn't fair to you. So, when it's confirmed to be safe, you can move freely in the Real World, and when I need to be in the real world, you can moderately return to the game to relax."

"So, I'm just a Puppet of yours, right!" Zheng Tong said resentfully.

"Zheng Tong, don't look down on yourself," Lin Bai countered. "You know what my Puppets are like. They don't even have consciousness. But you not only have your own consciousness, you can also move freely. To be precise, we are partners, and the kind where I do the work and you enjoy the benefits..."

"Enjoy my foot. Before, I at least had the fun of playing the game; now I have nothing." As soon as Zheng Tong thought of his miserable future life, his tone was filled with grievance.

"Zheng Tong, think about my level of competence. When I reach the pinnacle of power in the future, I can't be shuttling between two worlds all the time. It shouldn't be hard for you to imitate my style of doing things after watching it so much!" Lin Bai said. "Don't underestimate a double; a double can also have a lot of power."

"Your level of competence is high, but your level of causing trouble is just as high!" Zheng Tong, who could only speak the truth, was now a perfect contrarian.

"Once we reach a high position, you will be able to mobilize more resources. By then, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to usurp the throne or use my name to bully others and scheme against me than it is now?" Lin Bai brought out his trump card. "After all, I am doing things under your name; in the eyes of others, the capable one is you. 'Only by suffering the bitterest of the bitter can one become a person above others'; what is a little temporary forbearance and grievance?"

Holy crap!

Zheng Tong was suddenly unable to say a word; he really couldn't imagine that Lin Bai could even come up with a reason like this.

He suddenly remembered the Capital theory Lin Bai had mentioned: Capital comes into the world, from head to toe, with every pore dripping with blood and filth...

Compared to capital, Lin Bai was no less inferior!

In order to gain his support, he didn't even hesitate to sell himself out, and even instructed him on how to resist?

Is this guy even human?

He must be a demonic being descended into the world, surely!

In other words.

Is he really qualified to be an enemy of such a person?

Zheng Tong was dripping with sweat and hurriedly said, "No, Alliance Leader Lin, I will absolutely not betray you."

Under the True Speech Art, he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

At least at this moment, he was terrified by Lin Bai.

【Fear from Zheng Tong; +1 +1 +1...】

"Don't be afraid, everything I've done is out in the open. I'm best at turning enemies into friends, and I've never harmed my own people." Lin Bai changed himself into a holy appearance with a halo above his head and smiled as he soothed Zheng Tong's little heart. "Come, come, come, tell me in detail about your social connections in reality and in the game..."

After figuring out Zheng Tong's social connections, Lin Bai returned to the Blood Sect with Luo Xue and the others.

Blood Sect main gate.

【Silver】, 【Black Sheep】, 【Slacking Fish】, 【Huangye Lang】, and others came up to meet them, looking at He Qin and the others vigilantly, silently mobilizing players to surround them.

"Old Jing, what's the situation?" 【Black Sheep】 asked in a private message. "Why haven't you replied to messages for so long? Where is Lin Bai's split soul? What's the situation with the Soul Possession?"

"Old Ma, it's a long story, let people put it away!" Lin Bai replied. "I pretended that Lin Bai's Soul Possession was successful. Now Luo Xue and the others all think I am Lin Bai, returning to the Justice Alliance to seize power."

"Then are you Lin Bai, or Old Jing?" 【Silver】 asked suspiciously. The impression of Lin Bai being invincible was so deep that he was extra cautious about anything related to Lin Bai.

"Nonsense! If players could be possessed by NPCs, what's the point of playing the game!" Lin Bai scolded. "Old Ma, Old Yu. Have everyone cooperate with me. From now on, I am the Lin Bai who successfully performed Soul Possession. There are many benefits to using Lin Bai's identity. In the short term, we can use the Blood Sect's NPCs for our own purposes; in the long term, we can bluff the Seven Righteous Sects and the Demonic Five Sects, making them afraid to act rashly and buying us more time to develop."

A long string of tongue-twister-like words.

"So, you are currently Jingtian Zhizhun, but you have to pretend to be Lin Bai?" 【Black Sheep】 said.

"Yes." Lin Bai nodded.

"How did you make them believe you?" 【Slacking Fish】 suddenly asked.

"After being possessed by Lin Bai's split soul, I mastered some of Lin Bai's Law Skills. Plus, memories are lost after Soul Possession, so they believed it immediately." Lin Bai looked at the few people in front of him and pulled them into a group chat.

"What?"

"You mastered Laws?"

"Is that for real?"

Several uneven voices rang out at the same time. 【Silver】 and the others looked at Lin Bai with eyes full of shock.

Snap!

Lin Bai snapped his fingers.

The belts of 【Silver】, 【Huangye Lang】, 【Black Sheep】, and others flew off automatically, hanging them all up. Lin Bai's eyes were cold as he looked around at everyone: "Is this how you welcome your Alliance Leader?"

Luo Xue and the others were suddenly stunned.

What is going on?

Wasn't it said that he would return as a Heavenly Descended?

How did he expose his identity as soon as he reached the gate!

But thinking of Lin Bai's consistent behavior, the few of them fell silent, watching the situation unfold. It was perfectly normal for Alliance Leader Lin to change his orders every day.

Binding Immortal suddenly appeared.

The players who had not heard the conversation between the few were all stunned, looking at 【Jingtian Zhi Sun】 at the sect entrance in confusion, each of them extremely shocked.

"What's the situation?"

"Was this a successful Soul Possession?"

"Can NPCs really perform Soul Possession on players?"

"Lin Bai has mastered a player's body; can he hear our private chats?"

"Having performed Soul Possession on a player, wouldn't Lin Bai also be Undying and Indestructible now?"

The natives of Hundred Flowers Valley and Spirit Tool Pavilion, who had been surrounded and separated by numerous players, were extremely excited and rushed toward the entrance.

"Alliance Leader, you have finally returned."

"The Heavenly Descended are too lawless; many Disciples have been cruelly murdered by them. You must avenge us!"

The members of the fan club frowned as they watched Lin Bai, who was using Binding Immortal in the guise of 【Jingtian Zhi Sun】 through Soul Possession.

"Is this guy Lin Bai?"

"Suddenly so disappointed, not handsome at all."

"If he is Lin Bai, I might have to stop being a fan."

"What Lin Bai? It's just an avatar of Brother Lin performing Soul Possession; our Alliance Leader is still inside the lightning tribulation!"

"Exactly, exactly. We are fans of Lin Bai, not his avatar."

"But he is actually usurping Brother Lin's identity; it's so annoying."

"Holy crap, it's actually real."

"Is this the correct way to obtain hidden Skills?"

"Damn it, why wasn't I the one possessed!"

"A player's Undying Body, plus Lin Bai's Fazhe Zhidao—Old Jing, you've become incredibly powerful."

"What other Fazhe do you know?"

"Do you know Zhaofeng, Lin Bai?"

"Do you know Butterfly Transformation?"

"What about Magpie Bridge?"

【Baiyin】 and the others, who were hung up, asked all at once.

"I know most of them," Lin Bai said, "but there are flaws; they work intermittently. My explanation to Luo Xue and the others is that it's a side effect of Soul Possession."

He had to make some preparations for Zheng Tong to take over the body; after all, Zheng Tong would not know these Fazhe of his when he logged on.

"What does 'work intermittently' mean?" 【Haiqun Zhima】 asked.

"It means exactly what it says," Lin Bai said. "Perhaps the game officials don't want players to master such powerful Skills; otherwise, a second Lin Bai would appear, and that would be too unfair to the NPCs."

"That is a possibility." 【Haiqun Zhima】 looked deeply at Lin Bai. "How should we act next?"

"Act as if I am Lin Bai." Lin Bai looked around at everyone and said, "With Lin Bai's personality, it is impossible for him to submit to others. From now on, you may have to treat me as the supreme one on the surface."

"If you have truly mastered Lin Bai's Skills, the players' strategy in the game may need to change. It is very likely that it will need to be reorganized around you. I need to ask the leaders above for instructions," 【Huashui De Yu】 said.

"That is expected." Lin Bai nodded. "Let me improvise tonight; Lin Bai has returned as a king, I cannot do nothing. You all still need to cooperate with me in a performance."

"No problem." The few looked at each other and agreed.

【Haiqun Zhima】 looked at Lin Bai and said: "Yu, pull all our own people into a group chat and let them cooperate with Jingtian Zhi Sun."

Lin Bai scanned the crowd and walked through them. Wherever he passed, regardless of gender, all the players' belts flew out automatically, binding them and hanging them in the air.

Luo Xue and the others followed behind him, suddenly feeling that this version of Lin Bai was the normal one; undercover work and such were just not suitable for him.

"The fan club members stand in one line, the original Beggar Sect members stand in one line, and except for the Heavenly Descended, all Cultivators assemble and stand in one line. From now on, I do not wish to see any more fighting." Lin Bai Flash-ed into the air, looking down from above. "Anyone who dares to make a move again will be killed without mercy."

Everyone moved at the sound.

Lin Bai looked down.

All the fallen Justice Alliance members turned into Butterflies one after another. Those Butterflies danced and voluntarily joined the ranks of the natives.

"Split up a portion of people to clean up the sect. All high-level members of the Justice Alliance follow me to the Main Hall for a meeting. I have only stayed in the lightning tribulation for a few days, and the Justice Alliance is no longer mine?" Lin Bai reprimanded, then Flash-ed again and appeared in front of the Main Hall, stepping inside.

He Qin and the others followed closely behind.

"Could he really have been possessed by Lin Bai?" Watching the awe-inspiring 【Jingtian Zhi Sun】, 【Huashui De Yu】 muttered, "Does Jingtian Zhi Sun have this kind of presence?"

"Not only does he lack this presence, but he also lacks this eloquence." 【Haiqun Zhima】 frowned. "His logic is too clear; in just a few words, he seized the initiative and set our pace."

"You mean Lin Bai has returned in the identity of a player?" 【Huangye Lang】 said. "But he clearly spoke to us through private chat just now. If an NPC can hear our private chats, that is what's truly terrifying. Moreover, he clearly knows we are players."

"Can NPCs really perform Soul Possession on players?" 【Baiyin】 said.

"What if this is a real world?" 【Haiqun Zhima】 said. "I always feel something is unusual. Report what just happened to President Yuan and see what he says. Return to the Real World immediately to find someone to investigate Jingtian Zhi Sun and ask from reality what his situation is. A person's change cannot be this drastic..."

"Old Ma, have you ever thought about what to do if Old Jing was really possessed by Lin Bai?" 【Huashui De Yu】 said. "The Ultraviolet Ray lamp has already lost its effect, and Lin Bai still has Fazhe Zhidao; we have absolutely no way to deal with him."

"Investigate clearly first. We must figure out where Old Jing is," 【Haiqun Zhima】 said. "Soul Possession can't reach into reality, right? Even if the one inside is truly Lin Bai, if he is willing to play with us in the identity of a player, we will play along with his scheme. As players, we must always strive for the interests of players!"

"Old Ma, as expected, subconsciously, you already believe the one inside is the real Lin Bai." 【Huashui De Yu】 shook his head and said, "If a player is truly successfully possessed by an NPC, never mind playing along with the scheme; the severity of this matter is enough to affect our layout in the game world."

Real World.

Zheng Tong looked at the imposing Lin Bai in the video and smiled bitterly: "Big Brother, are you kidding me? I am merely a small supervisor, how could I possibly be that imposing? You are simply trying to get me killed!"
