Beauty and the Bodyguard

"You really think highly of me."

Lin Yi was speechless for a while. Even though he now thought he had the confidence to compete with the opponent in his prime, he was still not sure about such a thing.

The key point is that this thing doesn't leave him any room at all. At this point, he has no room to shrink even if he wants to.

"They all say that the next era is called Lin Yi."

The high priest suddenly smiled: "If a person wants to support an era, wouldn't it be very shameful if he doesn't do something earth-shattering?"

"..."

Lin Yi turned to ask: "Why did the Evil God create the Life Crystal? If he wanted chaos in the sea, couldn't he just not create it?"

Without the Life Crystal, chaos can be expected in the sea area.

According to normal logic, that style of painting is obviously more in line with the interests of the evil god.

The high priest did not answer and asked instead: "Do you know why the Sea People cannot live without the Life Crystal?"

Lin Yi thought for a while: "Because of some kind of evolutionary defect?"

The high priest was stunned for a moment, apparently hearing this word for the first time, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood the meaning.

"Yes, you can indeed understand that this flaw of the Sea People is actually left over from the Evil Sea era, and the Evil God is the initiator of all this."

Lin Yi became more and more confused: "Then he also offered to provide the life crystal?"

If it were other gods who said they were doing something good for the common people in the world, although it would not be reliable, it would still have a certain degree of credibility.

But the evil god?

Even if you think about it with your toes, it's impossible.

"He must provide the Life Crystal."

The high priest's next words completely overturned Lin Yi's previous understanding.

"If one day the supply of life crystals is completely cut off, the return of the evil god will be far away, and the possibility of returning to the sea will even be completely lost."

Lin Yi didn't know why: "How do you say this?"

The high priest smiled: "Because the so-called Sea People cannot leave the Life Crystal, it is a scam from beginning to end, an ultimate scam that has been carefully laid out since the Evil Sea era and has existed for tens of thousands of years!"

"..."

Lin Yi was stunned, then shook his head and said: "The Sea People will die if they lose their life crystal for too long. This is a recognized thing in the entire sea area, and there have been countless real cases. How can it be a scam?"

That was the result of countless human lives. It was a bloody fact. No matter how you thought about it, it couldn’t be related to the word scam, right?

Although the common people are low in strength, no one can ignore their wisdom in matters concerning their own lives.

The little people have the shrewdness of the little people.

Even the superior gods cannot easily manipulate this point. After all, the most elusive thing in the world is the human heart.

"All the tragedies you have seen are not due to the lack of life crystals, but because of the curse of the evil god."

"The Life Crystal cannot control the life and death of the Sea People at all. It has only one biggest effect, which is to induce hallucinations."

"Every time the Sea People use it, they are hypnotized by it and fall into the illusion that they will die if they leave the Life Crystal. They cannot extricate themselves."

"Once the life crystals are collectively cut off, you will see everyone in agony in the initial stage, but as long as you get out of the illusion, the truth will naturally come out."

"After all, the power of the evil god's curse is limited. It can only curse a few groups, but it cannot curse all the sea people!"

Lin Yi's eyes widened after hearing these words.

What is a big deal? This is the real big deal!

When other people heard this, they might still have some doubts, but he was able to figure out the whole story in a nutshell.

The life crystal is a trap specially laid by the evil god in order to make a comeback.

If there were no such a huge scam like the Life Crystal, even if the evil god left a human body sleeping in a coffin, his influence in the sea would quickly disappear.

And once the influence is gone, there will be no new believers.

Then, he would really bid farewell to the sea area completely.

On the other hand, now, relying on the Life Crystal, he can continue to stir up the storms in the sea area, and he can create mysterious places like Hell Street and control the pattern of the entire sea area behind the scenes!

When the time is right, you can complete the preparation and make a comeback!

Lin Yi pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly: "This is still a conspiracy that cannot be resolved."

He does believe this statement, but what about others?

Even if he goes out and publicizes this super scam to the entire sea, so what?

When life is at stake, no one is willing to stand up and risk their lives. Even if some people are forced to stand up, it is still useless if there are few people.

After all, there is a curse from the evil god. If the number of people cannot reach a sufficient scale, a few outstanding birds will definitely be cursed to death.

Not only will it be impossible to expose the scam, but it will intensify the panic!

As for asking everyone to stand up at once and put life and death at risk, not to mention Lin Yi couldn't do it, not even a real god could do it.

The high priest looked at him: "There is still a way."

"..."

Lin Yi's expression changed slightly: "You are also a lunatic."

The high priest said calmly: "If you don't go crazy, you won't survive. Some people have to do some things. Since others can't do it, let me do it."

At this moment, Lin Yi really felt a little respectful.

No matter what position they are in, he still sincerely appreciates pure people who are truly willing to give everything.

Lin Yi was silent for a moment, seeing that the other person's aura had almost leaked out, and finally asked: "What else do you want to explain?"

He originally thought that since the other party had given him such a huge favor, he would definitely make some reasonable demands.

For example, let him take care of his old subordinates in the priest department.

There are many masters of the priest department. Even without the backbone of the high priest, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated.

As long as he didn't take the initiative to kill them, Lin Yi would not touch them.

But when I think about what the other party is going to do next, the situation of the respected priests outside will inevitably become extremely difficult in the future.

The high priest's breath gradually weakened, and he left the last words inaudibly.

"Be careful of Wolf Kill."

After saying that, his head hung down, and he was actually dead, and his soul also disappeared along with it.

Lin Yi stood in front of him for a long time, nodded slightly, and turned to leave.

Today's meeting completely exceeded all his previous expectations, and the information he got from the other party overturned many of his previous perceptions.

He needed to digest it.

"I'm coming!"

Seeing Lin Yi come out of the priest's hall unscathed, all the priests gathered around the gate were stunned.

Feeling that the power blocking them had disappeared, a high-ranking priest couldn't wait to rush in, and then there was a exclamation that shattered all three concepts.
