The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 234 - 233 You’re Not Careful at All

The so-called Coded Scroll was actually about the size of an A4 paper, but a bit thicker, folding it might get it stuck in someone’s throat.

However, Lin Yun didn’t have this problem, even if it were to get stuck, it wouldn’t be in his throat, so what was there to fear?

As Chu Han saw Lin Yun approaching step by step, he could only retreat in the same manner, his expression filled with confusion, "Why are you doing this to me, didn’t we agree to collaborate earnestly?"

"I do want to collaborate, but you tried to deceive me and didn’t pay attention to the details, destroying too much of my gentleness!"

Lin Yun spread his hands helplessly and said, "I’ve always been gentle and easy-going, especially sincere to friends. However, if someone tries to deceive me, I won’t be merciful."

Chu Han: "..."

Do you have some misunderstanding about being gentle and easy-going?

Seeing Chu Han seemingly lost for words, Lin Yun also felt insulted. What, is my self-assessment wrong?

"You have objections?"

"No, no, none at all."

Chu Han gave in quickly. Lin Yun had cornered him, with Bai Jiaojiao and Xiao Qing blocking his escape routes on either side. However, Lin Yun didn’t rashly make a move but instead resorted to a show of force.

The Divine Temple had nothing in it but some mural paintings. The simpler it was, the more uneasy Lin Yun felt, so it was best not to cause too much commotion.

"Then tell me, what would happen if you ate this thing inside the temple?"

Chu Han originally didn’t want to speak, but seeing Lin Yun’s stance of stuffing it into his mouth if he didn’t talk, he had to submit.

"You’ll turn into a Mist Beast."

"Just as I thought."

Chu Han noticed Lin Yun wasn’t at all surprised and immediately asked with suspicion, "You knew all along?"

"I had my suspicions. You said there were one hundred and fifty-two people in the village, we killed a hundred and seventeen, so there should be thirty-five people in the temple, but we only found thirty. We just happened to kill five Mist Beasts. The numbers match perfectly. You don’t think I would overlook such a detail, do you?"

Chu Han: "..."

He didn’t know Lin Yun had killed five, wasn’t it three?

"You guessed based on just that?"

Chu Han felt it was very unreasonable. That evidence was clearly insufficient!

Lin Yun looked at Chu Han as if he were looking at an idiot, "Haven’t you heard of the principle of making bold assumptions and seeking careful verification? I randomly guessed that the Mist Beasts have a close connection to your Hidden Mist Village, then the numbers just happened to coincide, and I made another bold guess. That was all it took to reach the conclusion!"

Chu Han: "..."

Is that kind of operation even possible?

By now, it was also about time for them to have an open and honest talk.

Lin Yun commented, "Let me make another bold guess. You indeed want to leave the village, but you need us outsiders as sacrifices. Probably, once we eat the Coded Scroll, it will attract a certain entity, allowing you the chance to escape.

And we would become like those villagers, turning into Mist Beasts if we left the village, and reverting to villagers once we returned."

"Why don’t you consider that I may truly want to help you leave?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Chu Han suddenly felt at a loss. Weren’t all outsiders simple, kind, and easy to fool? Why was this Lin Yun so difficult to deal with?

"Your acting is too poor, and you don’t pay attention to details. In the forest, you should have noticed us long ago but pretended not to see until I released the thunder, then you pretended to be attracted over. In fact, you can see everything in the Great Mist."

Chu Han: "..."

He had never paid attention to it, but now that Lin Yun mentioned it, he remembered, whether being carried by Lin Yun on the run or talking about the village custom of no light when they returned, both had exposed his ability to see in the dark Great Mist.

Since he had raised doubts from their first meeting, it had since become impossible to establish trust.

What a pity that he lost!

What Chu Han didn’t know was that even if there were no issues with the details, Lin Yun still wouldn’t trust him.

With people you don’t understand, it is right to suspect them with the greatest malice. As long as you imagine the other person to be bad enough, no matter what bad ideas they come up with, you can be prepared.

This is called prediction.

"Since you already know, I won’t hide it from you. I am the only living person from Hidden Mist Village."

Chu Han tried to see shock on Lin Yun’s face, but there was none.

Lin Yun’s face seemed to say "Is that all," "I guessed as much," "What else..."

Being able to read Lin Yun’s expression, Chu Han was quite good.

"My father is the Temple Priest, so I know more secrets about the Divine Temple. The Great Mist god that we worship has indeed died, but His power has not dissipated. His True Spirit still wanders. His corpse transformed into the Great Mist, enveloping Hidden Mist Village and everything around it, creating a Secret Realm isolated from the Mortal Realm. This place is no longer part of the human world."

"Oh."

Lin Yun still appeared very calm.

He had been prepared for this. After all, there was no sun in the sky, nor a moon. No matter how you looked at it, this didn’t seem like the Mortal Realm.

It was just that he had nothing to say about his own luck; stepping out for a stroll and walking into a mist, he could directly leave this world. What more could be said?

Since he had come, Lin Yun had no hopes for any treasures, just wishing he could live to return.

"The people of Hidden Mist Village are all offspring of the Great Mist. Under its erosion, they have become monsters. The Great Mist has left an entrance in the Mortal Realm, and living beings often come here, becoming sustenance for the villagers. This is the true gift of the Great Mist. Only, the living beings that come to the village are growing less and less, and in recent decades, there hasn’t been a single one.

Many villagers eventually starved to death. I’m afraid they will eat me in the end. They would surely do that, so I have to leave."

At this point, Lin Yun couldn’t help but criticize: "Is your family’s Great Mist stupid, always shearing the same sheep? How could you not end up with a bald sheep?"

Previously, Green Snake had introduced the Ghost Fog Forest. This mist was only deep in the Misty Forest, and it had a limited range of activity. Those who were initially affected were unguarded, but as the reputation of the Ghost Fog Forest spread, who would take the risk to enter it?

"If I were the Great Mist, I would let some people leave alive and give them some benefits, so that the ones who live spread the word that the Ghost Fog is full of opportunities. Then, the number of people searching for Hidden Mist Village would increase a lot. You could let one-tenth of them go back, and wouldn’t you have a steady stream of people coming? That’s what you call sustainable development.

The result is you kill everyone who comes, leaving no survivors. Isn’t starving to death just a matter of time?"

Chu Han: "..."

What you say makes sense, but are you really human?

At this time, another person’s voice appeared in the Divine Temple.

"That’s a good idea. I will do that in the future."

The old man Chu Huai walked into the Divine Temple, with a da-da sound of footsteps, carrying the presence of a boss making an entrance.

Unexpectedly, he heard Lin Yun say, "Here comes the young man!"

Chu Huai: "..."

His foot, which he had lifted, suddenly seemed a bit hesitant to come down...
