Chapter 170: Chapter 161 The Tide Has Turned (Please Subscribe)

Lette suddenly figured out many things.

"We’ve always been stuck in a misconception, which is that the Liar Demon is constructing a series of small lies to ultimately create one big lie.

Then, through this lie, sink the entire Harbor City into the Dream Realm.

But we’ve been thinking rigidly!

A lie is not like building a building!

Building a structure requires laying a foundation and layering it step by step according to strict procedures!

But a lie doesn’t need that!

A lie only needs to be a monstrous whopper!

Then it can be gradually perfected, with one lie supporting another.

It’s as if I told you there’s a tall building here.

When you look at it from afar, I just need to hang a realistic painting here!

Unless you get close enough to see it’s not a tall building, just a painting!

I wouldn’t need to build any part of an actual structure!

As long as I keep the deception going, the lie can persist!"

Lilith seemed thoughtful: "So, you’re saying that today when you caught that murderer, you’ve reached a point where you could pierce through his massive lie?"

"He’s using this lie to cover another lie. If this lie is exposed, his other lie—or even a series of lies—will unravel!"

"But we... we don’t know what other lies he has woven."

Lette took a deep breath: "This is what worries me the most; the lack of intelligence is severe.

The only advantage of a lie is that, before it’s exposed, he doesn’t have to pay any price.

It’s like consuming without ever having to pay as long as you’re not exposed.

So, there’s no way to deduce how many lies he’s told, or the scale of them...

For now, we can only continue to pursue the line of the murderer and the Sea Sacrifice Witchcraft, to see if we can uncover anything.

Additionally, we must continue to develop the Flesh God Sect in preparation to welcome Alice.

These two aspects are our greatest cards! One to keep in reserve, another to turn the tide."

Emily nodded repeatedly: "Yes! We must be more proactive and aggressive! We must pierce through the enemy’s lies as much as possible!

Lette, rest assured, I will definitely..."

"No need, no need."

Lette smiled gently, patting her shoulder with unprecedented kindness: "You’re about to turn into stuffing soon already.

There’s no need to work so hard anymore."

"Oh! I was wrong, I was wrong! Lilith, save me!"

Lilith spread her hands: "I’m afraid I can’t help, but Lette... just now, Emily almost mentioned the Mermaid Princess twice, and you interrupted her.

What, you mean to temporarily not let the two meet?"

"Yes, temporarily. If Unica decides to return to ordinary life tomorrow, then there’s no need for them to be aware of each other’s existence.

If she’s willing to join us, then we’ll need to ask the Mermaid Princess about her stance first.

If she agrees, then we’ll arrange for them to meet.

In fact, it’s best not to let them meet until we’re sure why they both have identical Witch Power.

But as it stands, Unica is here to stay. Within the same courtyard, meeting is only a matter of time."

Lette furrowed his brows: "Don’t change the subject! We’re discussing how to punish this person tarnishing my reputation!"

"My suggestion is to make her lies come true."

Lilith rubbed her hands together: "How about it, interested? Lette, Lette, what’s wrong with you?"

Lette suddenly froze, his eyes glazed over.

Lilith immediately turned to scare Emily: "Oh no, Emily, Lette is seriously considering it now!"

"Huh? No way! You can’t! But I’ve been running around all day, and I haven’t even showered yet!"

Clap!

Lette suddenly clapped his hands and then pulled Lilith in for a kiss.

"Lilith! You’re a genius! Besides breaking the lie, there’s another way to destroy a lie, which is to make the lie come true!

A lie that has come true is no longer a lie!

I know how to deal with that brat now!"

Lilith wiped the saliva off her cheek: "What are you going to do? Help him complete the series of ritual murders?"

"Hmph, no. I’m going to publicly declare that the serial killer has already been killed!"

"Ah? But he fled!"

"Yes, and that’s another lie!"

Lette raised a finger: "If we say it, the murderer and the Liar Demon will have no choice but to break my lie.

Otherwise, my lie will become true!

No matter what the ultimate goal of the murderer’s lie is, they will have to stop!

If they want to expose my lie, they’ll have to let Harbor City’s residents know that the serial killer is still at large!

Then, they’ll have to strike again!

And they must do so according to his previous modus operandi!"

Emily froze: "But! But you said the pattern was wrong?!"

Lilith also clapped her hands: "I get it! This is a checkmate situation for him!

He used to operate according to this pattern to mislead the public.

Now, this pattern has become his burden!

If he doesn’t continue to follow this pattern, everyone will think it’s not that serial killer, but a new killer.

If he doesn’t commit any crimes, our lie becomes truth, killing his lie!

This move! It practically corners him!

Thus, his choice of time, location, and target will narrow into a specific range.

Lette, we can announce qualified targets and officially designate only these two or three people as fitting targets!

As long as the public believes this! The culprit can only kill them to validate his identity!

This is... what’s it called in your hometown?"

Lette grinned: "Please fall into the trap!"

Emily’s mind spun for a while before she came around: "This is a great plan! They’ll have to confront us head-on.

Right! Why should they get to carry on with their mysterious games?

We can do the same, crafting an even bigger story! Then lay out the evidence and use our lies to overwrite theirs!"

Lette nodded slightly. By doing so, they could leap out of the dilemma of being just puzzle solvers, directly using riddles to offset the enemy’s riddles and completing the shift from defense to offense.

"Then, tomorrow we’re going to the police station?"

Lilith also supported this plan: "We need to prepare things to ensure the lie we weave is foolproof. They’re hiding in the dark, unable to come forward and expose us; that’s our advantage.

But even in direct confrontation, the Liar Demon is still very tricky."

"Indeed, so we need to push the timeline a bit. In the meantime, I need to enhance the power of the Blood Flesh Evil God."

Lilith also clenched her fists: "I should quickly complete the digestion and absorption of the Power of Profanation, hoping to provide you with an additional card.

When a showdown comes, I believe Alice will have arrived as well.

This way, our chances will be greater."

Emily excitedly twisted her neck: "Suddenly, I feel like a grand battle is coming!"

Lette waved his hand: "A grand battle? It’d be nice if we could settle everything in one go!

This is a conceptual-level enemy; getting rid of him is not that simple.

But this move certainly corners the Liar Demon.

Today he risked exposure to act, just to protect another bigger unknown lie through conserving the lying identity of the murderer.

Seeing through this lie he’s really preparing is a victory!

"Alright! Let’s rest well tonight and recharge! It’s getting late, I’ll go to my room and sleep first!"

Emily said, then turned and jumped towards her room, but Lette grabbed her back.

"What are you... what do you want to do? Do you really plan on doing as Lilith suggested?"

"I found that today’s battle exposed your serious lack of combat experience. It seems you’ve been fighting brainless Elemental Elves for too long, and the real opponents you encounter are weaklings.

To enhance your skills, I decided to tutor you a bit."

"You you you! What are you planning?"

"To throw you into the Mirage, hoping you awaken alive tomorrow."

Lette snapped his fingers on Emily’s forehead, causing her eyes to roll back and her to faint.

Her consciousness was exiled into the Gap of Dreams, swallowed by the suddenly appearing Mirage.

Seeing this, Lilith shivered: "Wasn’t that a bit too much? Can she handle those Shadows of Battle in the Mirage?"

"No worries, you can’t die in the first three levels."

In Lette’s Mirage, aside from various traps and Magic Arrays, there were many Shadows of Battle he had created.

They were training dummies made based on experts he had fought in the past.

If there were enemies in the Mirage, they could also appear as part of the killing mechanism.

Having been in this world for five years, anyone that caught Lette’s eye was definitely an expert.

Also, to ensure Emily would not be overly reliant on magic, Lette made specific adjustments.

The Shadows of Battle created today were mostly from the Northern Realm’s bitter cold Barbarian Tribe.

Such as the young elite Mangu, Mangu’s father the clan leader, the old clan leader grandfather, and uncle the hunting captain...

"Lilith, could you please move Emily back to her room?"

"Are you sure you don’t want to just dig a hole and bury her?"

Lilith picked up Emily: "But, in just three or four days, how do you plan to strengthen your Blood Flesh Evil God?

I know you have Immortal Essence, but dealing with the Liar Demon requires True Essence.

That kind of thing isn’t something you can accumulate in a short period, right?"

"Yes, I can."

"You can?"

Lette tapped his forehead: "The matter of the Sea Sacrifice Witchcraft gave me inspiration; since our Church was founded, we’ve never held any sacrificial rites.

As long as the sacrificial offerings are precious enough and highly compatible with True Divinity!

Then, accumulating True traits in a short time isn’t impossible. Even condensing a divine body to advance to the third stage of Cult God isn’t out of the question!"

"But... where will you get the so-called, precious and highly compatible with True Divinity offerings?

Without it, isn’t this still just wishful thinking?"

"Lilith, you’ve spent too much time in the mortal world, and you’ve forgotten this."

Lette opened his hand, revealing the Growth Flesh on his palm: "The Demon Realm isn’t short of precious offerings.

As an Evil God, colluding with the Demon Realm is only natural, right?"
