Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 1577 The Abnormal Soul

Although Lin Yu now possesses the ability to use soul power through the power of 'belief' and 'realization', and thanks to his unique soul structure, he can be considered to have established his own school within the extraordinary power system of soul power.

In particular, there are many interconnected aspects in the use of soul power and mental power, which gives Lin Yu some innate advantages.

However... for Lin Yu, he still finds it more convenient to use his mental power.

After all, one of the reasons why his soul power is quite good is that his soul power and mental power are interconnected, and he has a solid foundation in the skills of using mental power.

No matter how you look at it, the ease of use and proficiency with soul power can never compare to the ease with which Lin Yu can use mental power.

After all, Lin Yu's mental strength had been guided by a renowned master from the very beginning.

He had just hit a plateau and the benefits of his guidance from the renowned teacher "Old Zheng" were waning when he immediately encountered a new renowned teacher, "Bai Ying," who gave Lin Yu a intensive sprint to improve his skills.

It was almost like being selected from the provincial team to join the national team—after reading the techniques Bai Ying taught him, Lin Yu felt a sense of vastness and potential in the realm of mental power.

and so……

At this moment, for Lin Yu, soul power naturally served the purpose of "feigning an attack" and concealing his mental power.

Although we don't know exactly how strong Xiaoyuan was back then, or how much of her strength she still retains now...

But since we're going to take action against him, we should naturally unleash our most confident "mental strength"!

The surging tide of spiritual energy engulfed the opponent's soul—even if Old Zheng himself was caught off guard and hit by this attack, he would temporarily lose consciousness and have his soul blank for more than ten seconds.

When a person's soul consciousness goes blank for more than ten seconds... for Lin Yu, this naturally provides a lot of room for maneuver.

Whether it's exploring the essence of someone's soul, peeking into and recording parts of their memories, or trying to grasp and manipulate the entire constraint of their soul...

This period of "soul void" created by the tide of spiritual energy will be a great start!

only……

To Lin Yu's surprise, although his mental energy surge hit its mark, Xiao Yuan did not lose consciousness.

Although Lin Yu clearly sensed that the other party's soul had been completely and directly impacted, however...

Xiao Yuan showed absolutely no signs of losing consciousness.

"I see. You've been talking to me for so long not only because you wanted to know the answers to the questions you asked, but also to give the dormant spiritual energy hidden around me time to quietly become active, is that right?"

Xiao Yuan looked at Lin Yu and asked seriously.

Lin Yu did not deny it: "Yes... but the effect seems to be different from my expectations."

Lin Yu looked at Xiao Yuan, who was still talking to him freely, and said with emotion.

Even Lin Yu himself wouldn't dare say he could remain rational in the face of such a powerful surge of mental energy.

But after this actually happened...

After calming down and thinking about it, Lin Yu realized that there was nothing surprising about it.

Because this Xiao Yuan was Shen Bingmiao and her older sister Lin Zhao's companion in the previous version. Although he did not participate in the hunt for the "God of Destiny", it is very likely that he has a part in the hunt for the "Lord of the Abyss".

Moreover, according to the confessions of the prisoners inside the "Eternal Cage," he was also 100% involved in the plan of "the ten realms mutually creating the end of the world."

It's only natural that such a person... has some special characteristics.

However, Lin Yu didn't think all of this was reasonable just because of this point.

The core reason why Lin Yu was able to calmly accept that his mental energy tide had completely failed was that Lin Yu suddenly remembered something.

The soul structure of this "Xiao Yuan" was originally very strange—it could even be described as bizarre.

A soul with an extremely simple and primitive structure, resembling the soul of a paramecium, yet possessing an overall soul power content similar to that of an ordinary person, was enormous and chaotic without any form of change within his body, like a bare wooden stake.

Such a soul structure should not have thoughts and consciousness in the first place. It is naturally impossible to use "spiritual tides" to destroy and manipulate his consciousness at the soul level, and to make him fall into a daze and stop thinking.

Just as the brain-degrading aura has no effect on Patrick, the loss of courage does not make Nobita even more cowardly.

Lin Yu's mental tide, after being guided by Bai Ying, is like an EMP (electromagnetic pulse bomb) targeting the soul, which can temporarily halt the highly precise soul of intelligent life.

But the problem is... the soul inside Xiaoyuan's body is clearly not very precise.

Compared to the soul of an ordinary person, which is like the soul of a precision instrument, Xiaoyuan's soul has a pure, unprocessed quality—at most, it feels like a stone whose edges have been slightly polished.

However, Lin Yu did not give up so easily.

After the mental energy tides had clearly lost their effectiveness...

Lin Yu chose to change tactics immediately!

He condensed and compressed the massive amount of spiritual power in the spiritual tide again, and then combined it with his soul power to perform and replicate the move he had seen when he fought the mysterious man impersonating "Schreber" at the convention center.

Although the opponent's soul structure and form are too simple to be destroyed structurally.

but……

It is not entirely immune to the influence of mental and spiritual forces.

So what Lin Yu needs to do right now is...

Using the "psychic power" formed by mental and spiritual power, one can directly pull the other person's soul out of their body!

And obviously...

This tactic was remarkably effective, at least initially.

Compared to the "spiritual tide" that had just vanished without a trace, at least this time... Lin Yu could feel that he had successfully "dragged" the other party's soul.

only……

In the instant her soul was touched, Xiaoyuan sighed again.

"Useless and futile efforts..."

"Alright, 'Director'... I don't have time to fool around with you anymore—now that you've already found out, I don't need to hide my whereabouts anymore."

"However... I will still come back."

"Perhaps when we meet again, our positions will no longer be hostile."

Xiao Yuan spoke, her words seemingly carrying a deeper meaning.

Lin Yu sighed, pretending not to hear the hidden meaning in Xiao Yuan's words: "Do you think you can escape?"

As he spoke, he intensified his manipulation of mental power, transforming his soul power into tendrils, as if determined to "drag" Xiaoyuan's soul out of her body!

At this point, it can even be described as "pulling out".

However, as the misalignment between the other party's soul and body became more and more severe, Lin Yu himself felt increasingly uneasy.

Because although the other person's soul had a simple structure, it was "heavy" than he had imagined!

Finally, after Lin Yu's concentration had been prolonged and his mental power had weakened slightly...

Lin Yun could feel a tremendous attraction emanating from beneath Xiao Yuan's soul, as if it were about to "suck" Xiao Yuan's soul away.

Lin Yu, of course, was also unable to resist this suction force that appeared out of nowhere.

Soon... Xiaoyuan's soul will leave this body in the opposite direction.

Lin Yu could also sense it...

This soul is leaving not only this body—but also this world!

He could clearly sense that around that soul, there was a kind of "barrier" formed by the world's will and the world's fundamental laws.

The feeling of being at the barrier also means that you now have a perspective that is half a dimension higher.

Looking down from this perspective, some of Lin Yu's doubts were finally answered.

For example... why is it that Xiaoyuan's soul structure is so simple, yet he can think like an ordinary person?

The answer became clear to Lin Yu at that moment, as he sensed the unprecedentedly thick world barrier that was different from the Ten Realms.

Xiaoyuan's soul at this moment... is not merely located in the current real world.

Or rather, in the real world, this part of his soul only occupies a portion of his soul.

Xiaoyuan's soul has "penetrated" the barriers and obstacles of the world and is active in this real world.

A part of his soul remains outside the barriers of the world.

As for how much of it is outside the world...

Although Lin Yu's feelings were not truly clear due to the barrier between worlds, he could still make a rough estimate...

At least 90% of it.

Xiaoyuan's soul is unique not because it is simple... but because it is vast and can penetrate the "world".

The reason I felt his soul structure was simple was because I initially only sensed and observed a small part of his soul in the current world.

It's just like……

He only saw one of the giant's fingers and then mistakenly concluded that the finger was a living being.

He would naturally be curious as to why this life form has no organs or facial features and appears to have such a simple structure.

Xiao Yuan now is like that giant—this part of his soul is like a finger probing into this world.

His soul... seems to be hidden in one of the ten realms.

Moreover, it was so enormous that it was terrifying.

"In short... although we didn't find any of my old friend's belongings this time, meeting you wasn't a complete loss," Xiaoyuan said softly, gazing at Lin Yu. "Although I still don't know why the 'hackers' value you so much... I think you are indeed someone worth investigating."

“I have a feeling that you are much more important than the ‘item’ I’m here to find.”

"I look forward to our next meeting, 'Director'—until then, I will keep an eye on you until I find your secret!"

Lin Yu listened to Xiao Yuan's words and recovered from the shock of feeling the other person's enormous soul.

Although at first, being targeted like this and hearing such blatant words, Lin Yu was shocked and somewhat annoyed.

but now……

Because there were just too many people watching him and too much trouble, Lin Yu himself was unusually calm when he heard this.

"Really? ... Well, you must have had a lot of trouble."
