Chapter 195: Chapter 193: The Lamp Holder’s Reminder

In the rental apartment.

Yang Qizhou swayed the faintly glowing pendant chain in his hand, a smile forming on his face.

Indeed, this magical object, Legendary-grade [Heart Dream Source], acquired from ’Guardian King City,’ could peer into a target’s thoughts and use these as a blueprint to weave a dream entirely controlled by its wielder.

But that was not all,

When Yang Qizhou read Luo Fusheng’s thoughts, he also resolved many doubts in his mind.

"No wonder he was tailing me. Turns out he used the Destiny’s Blessing, ’Correct Guidance,’ to learn that I possess ’Hidden’ power and wants to seize it to evade the ’Deceit Bureau’s’ hunt."

"With the power of ’Dream Hidden World Clothes,’ that’s indeed achievable."

"And then, he found my residence through the same ability, ’Correct Guidance.’"

"But Luo Fusheng, you’re really quite stupid. Having such an ability, why wouldn’t you use it first to ask about the consequences of your actions? Wait... something doesn’t add up..."

As he delved deeper into the mind-reading process, Yang Qizhou quickly noticed something strange.

Before Luo Fusheng took action, he had used ’Destiny Guidance’ once. But the insight he received was... that this action was completely viable.

That was very odd.

Yang Qizhou owned plenty of high-position magical/ancient objects, but none related to ’Fraud.’ While ’Dream Hidden World Clothes’ had a ’Hidden’ effect, it was limited to disguising identity and couldn’t block effects like ’Correct Guidance.’

If it wasn’t caused by him,

Then the issue most likely lay with the ability ’Correct Guidance’ itself.

"Wait, I think I have a lead."

"Luo Fusheng used ’Correct Guidance’ twice. The first time, it told him I had ’Hidden’ power that could help him evade the ’Deceit Bureau.’ The second time, he asked if hunting players in the neighborhood was fully viable. The answer he received was... viable."

"What if the answers to those two questions weren’t addressing the same thing?"

Yang Qizhou’s thoughts grew clearer.

"The first time Luo Fusheng used ’Correct Guidance,’ it indeed pointed to me—there’s no mistake about that."

"But during the second use, if there were other players from ’Deceit World’ in the neighborhood, and ’Correct Guidance’ pointed towards one of them instead, it wouldn’t issue a warning to Luo Fusheng."

"This hypothesis might sound wildly imaginative, but it’s the most logical explanation right now."

"In this neighborhood,"

"There’s another ’Deceit World’ player."

Yang Qizhou became curious about this ’player’ hidden close by, but now wasn’t the time to search for them. Although he had glimpsed parts of Luo Fusheng’s memories through thought peeping, he still lacked a complete picture, with many doubts swirling in his mind,

such as how Luo Fusheng escaped Deceit Prison,

and why he fled so anxiously.

Although Yang Qizhou had no ties to the ’Deceit Bureau’ for now, it was better to figure these things out...

He used the long-sealed magical object [Shepherd Dog Field Key] to summon a Granting Hound, then snapped his fingers at it.

Soon, this hound, halfway between illusion and reality, dragged back ’Luo Fusheng, trapped in a nightmare, experiencing cycles of horror and drowning in fear.’ During the process, Yang Qizhou consistently used ’Destiny Revelation’ to prevent neighbors from approaching, ensuring no one noticed.

Afterwards,

Yang Qizhou employed another magical object: [Stone of Truth].

Stone of Truth (Quasi-Excellent): From the Golden Country’s Truth Sect, this object is a gift from Truth believers to True Law Enforcers. Effect: You can designate a target, and for the next five minutes, all questions you ask must be answered truthfully. After use, it enters a 24-hour cooldown period.

"How did you escape from Deceit Prison?"

Though Luo Fusheng’s consciousness was lost in the dream, the effect of [Stone of Truth] caused him to subconsciously mumble an answer, "The seal of ’Deceit Prison’ has flaws. There’s a hidden passage left during its construction. I found this passage through ’Correct Guidance’ after many trials."

’Deceit Prison’ has a hidden passage?

No wonder first it was the Hermit Association’s Wang Chuan, then this Luo Fusheng.

Turns out there was a traitor inside.

"But who left that hidden passage?" That wasn’t something he could figure out now, so Yang Qizhou set aside the matter.

Yang Qizhou continued, "You’re deeply terrified of being returned to ’Deceit Prison.’ You’ve mentioned more than once that something terrible will happen there. What’s that about?"

Luo Fusheng subconsciously answered.

"It’s the Hermit Association, that horrifying Hidden Organization, brewing an extremely insane conspiracy. They want to open a passage between the real world and the ’Otherworldly Deities’ domain, welcoming the descent of that world’s gods. And the site for the ritual... is in ’Deceit Prison.’"

It involved the ’Hermit Association’?

Yang Qizhou pursued further, "How do you know about this?"

Luo Fusheng replied, "While detained in ’Deceit Prison,’ I used ’Correct Guidance’ daily to foresee if I would face harm. Initially, the results were always positive. But three days ago, ’Correct Guidance’ suddenly revealed that staying in ’Deceit Prison’ would lead to death. I sought to identify the cause of my death. Combining the information I knew and utilizing ’Correct Guidance’ repeatedly took nearly a day before confirming that the ’Deceit Prison’ catastrophe would stem from the ’Hermit Association.’"

Yang Qizhou curiously asked, "Didn’t you report this to members of the ’Deceit Bureau’ to reduce your sentence?"

Luo Fusheng responded, "Of course not. I wish those bastards would all die."

It seemed Luo Fusheng had accumulated quite a bit of anger and hatred while confined in ’Deceit Prison.’

Having asked all he needed, Luo Fusheng no longer held value to Yang Qizhou. Naturally, he wouldn’t keep him at his place. Besides being troublesome, what if the little one suddenly barged in? That’d be hard to explain.

After thinking for a while,

Yang Qizhou directed the ’Granting Hound’ to drag Luo Fusheng to an unpopulated, desolate field. Using the power of ’God of Victory,’ he bestowed a hidden blessing upon the hound, ensuring it had enough good luck to avoid being discovered by passersby.

These matters were settled swiftly.

Yang Qizhou then pondered and felt it necessary to warn the ’Deceit Bureau.’ As an organization hidden in the shadows, adhering to principles, and protecting citizens from the terrors lurking in the dark, Yang Qizhou had a favorable impression of them. He didn’t mind lending a helping hand in critical moments.

As for the method,

He decided to use [Destiny Revelation], targeting... the ’Deceit Bureau’ member Zhou Xu.

"Hopefully, even scrawled text like this can be understood."

...

...

At the same time, in the ’Deceit Bureau’ headquarters.

Zhou Xu had just returned from a mission, his body drained of energy. Walking sluggishly back to his dorm, he lazily raised his hand to greet someone passing by.

"Yo, Old Zhou, what kind of case did you encounter today? Look at you, almost like you just fought eight hundred rounds. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were in a battle royale," a voice called from nearby.

Seeing who it was, Zhou Xu couldn’t help but laugh and curse, "Li Yawei, you’re a team captain now, leading an elite squad, and you’ve even stepped into the ’Transcendent’ realm. Can’t you speak a bit more seriously? If people heard you, they’d think you’re some kind of thug."

"Tch, fake dignity. I just can’t stand your pretentious act..."

Standing at 1.83 meters with a fair complexion, Li Yawei looked like an innocent young man. Who could imagine that he was a ’Deceit Bureau’ captain with terrifying strength?

Li Yawei continued, "By the way, Old Zhou, do you think that mysterious player tonight will dump a large batch of [Destiny Fire Bottles] again? To be honest, if I hadn’t been lucky enough to snatch a dozen, earning ’God’s’ blessings would’ve taken me a few more days."

This question piqued Zhou Xu’s interest.

Admittedly, the low-price release of [Destiny Fire Bottles] had little impact on players without ’Destiny Titles’ or access to the ’Destiny Store’ and ’Destiny Exchange.’ But for high-level players like them, it was a game-changer, significantly speeding up game progress.

If possible, Zhou Xu would’ve preferred the mysterious player to release more [Destiny Fire Bottles].

And of course, finding the player in person would’ve been even better.

"How should I know..."

Zhou Xu’s words trailed off abruptly, an unusual gleam flashing in his eyes.

Noticing the change, Li Yawei asked, "What’s the matter, Old Zhou? Why’d you suddenly go quiet?"

"Oh, it’s nothing. I just remembered something I forgot to handle. Li Yawei, I’ll come back and chat later tonight." Zhou Xu waved his hand and hurriedly left, ignoring Li Yawei’s persistent questioning.

On the road,

Zhou Xu’s expression grew grave.

"What’s with this strong calling, urging me not to tell anyone... Never mind, I’ll take a look first. With the ’Space Deception Badge,’ I can escape unscathed even if something dangerous happens."

Soon, Zhou Xu drove to an uninhabited, desolate area. Stepping out of his car, he was shocked to see Luo Fusheng. He clearly recognized this man as the fugitive convict who escaped ’Deceit Prison.’ However, Zhou Xu quickly relaxed after realizing Luo Fusheng was in some sleep-like state and posed no immediate threat.

"Wait, what’s this writing on the ground? This handwriting is almost like chicken scratch..." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Zhou Xu scanned the ground, struggling but eventually deciphering the text, "’Deceit Prison’ has a major issue. The ’Hermit Association’ is plotting a horrific conspiracy there relating to the ’Otherworldly Deities.’ The ’Deceit Bureau’ should prepare accordingly."

"Lamp Holder."
