Chapter 1075 Innocent people?
Chapter 1075 Innocent people?
"Qian Huan, some squads within this army are moving in strange directions. They're not drifting away from the main force simply because you've confused their movements. Their movements... have been going in circles from the beginning."
"These teams are lined up in a straight line, blending in with the larger force, and are moving in a non-standard, but generally circular, pattern, like a mosquito coil, gradually shrinking from the inside out."
"In other words, they were determining our location."
Lin Yu said in a low voice.
When Qian Huan heard Lin Yu's words, he continued to control the movement of the mirror and remained calm.
"Though these witches aren't hopelessly stupid, trying to find our location... is a good idea."
"However, this method is really overthinking it. The coordinates of the 'space' here are chaotic, and their so-called 'encirclement' is full of loopholes."
Lin Yu shook his head: "No, Qian Huan, the 'circular' route I'm talking about is that even after your mirror interferes with the route and repeatedly goes in and out of the mirror, they still maintain a 'circular' in the actual sense."
Qian Huan was stunned: "What? They can ignore the influence of my maze?"
"No, not really. You've disrupted their path, but each time they change direction, they turn precisely 'inwards,' towards the center of your mirrored area."
"And since they changed directions so frequently, I'm pretty sure... this isn't a coincidence."
"After a while, they should be able to connect head to tail. By then, we will be truly 'surrounded' and our position will be locked."
As Lin Yu spoke, Qian Huan was shocked.
"There's actually such a thing! Could it be that the shamans of the Lugu lineage have truly developed a sorcery that can manipulate 'space' and have already mastered it across all aspects of life?"
"But it doesn't matter... We still have the initiative now. We can use the time difference to avoid them. Before their teams 'connect head to tail', we can change locations."
Qian Huan said this, and Lin Yu thought about it.
"What if the enemy's goal is to occupy the center point and gather their troops there?"
"Qian Huan, although your mirror maze can move mirrors...but if it's a space composed of four or more mirrors, since you can only move a limited number of mirrors at the same time, wouldn't it be almost impossible to change the 'center point'?"
As Lin Yu spoke, Qian Huan looked at him in shock: "You figured that out?"
"I just deduced based on the other party's movements," Lin Yu whispered, "Have you seen The Legend of the Condor Heroes?"
"No," Qian Huan shook his head, "I don't like reading martial arts novels...I don't watch many TV series either."
Lin Yu nodded. "Then I won't give you examples from the book... Anyway, even though you might not have figured out how to crack it yourself, if there's a 'fixed, immovable' center point, and the enemy has an army of a thousand men, they might actually find a way to crack it, or at least be able to roughly depict some 'basic shapes'—your mirrors are like wedges, and this space is essentially a plot of land enclosed by wedges. While it can change shape, the closer it is to the 'center' of this space, the more 'stable' it is."
Qian Huan was also a smart man. He immediately understood the feasibility of the plan Lin Yu mentioned and finally took it seriously.
"How did they do that?"
Lin Yu said, "I don't know, but... among these people, there must be a witch or some other smart person leading the team, making real-time judgments and adjusting their positions based on your manipulation of the mirror. After all, if someone is remotely controlling them, then why doesn't he stay in the center and have a few more teams like this to increase efficiency?"
"Then what should we do?"
Qian Huan asked subconsciously.
But before Lin Yu gave an answer, Qian Huan had already thought of a solution.
"Wait a minute, since the leader is already among us...he hasn't found us yet, and he might not even know that we've discovered him. In this mirror space, perhaps we can take the initiative?"
Qian Huan’s strategy was exactly what Lin Yu wanted to say.
"Yes, we still have the home advantage now. Moreover... if we were to fight under these circumstances, we might be able to defeat an ordinary witch without causing any trouble."
As Lin Yu spoke, Qian Huan asked again.
"Can you locate the witch hidden in that team?"
Lin Yu shook his head. The other party was obviously on guard and restrained his spirit and soul. Lin Yu could not sense which individual was particularly outstanding.
but……
"The team that deviated from the action only had fifteen people in total."
Lin Yu looked at Qian Huan and said, then added another sentence.
"They are tightening their encirclement, which means their ranks will become increasingly compact and dense."
Qian Huan was stunned. At first he didn't understand what Lin Yu meant.
But as Lin Yu finished his supplementary explanation, Qian Huan understood Lin Yu's intention.
"Should we take action against these fifteen people?"
Qian Huan asked back.
"If I cooperate with you, it shouldn't be difficult," Lin Yu thought. "I saw you fighting Captain Liang Ye before... You can use the blade transformed into a [Magic Prop] and the [Magic Poker] to inflict four or five wounds on Liang Ye at the same time."
"These guys don't have Captain Liangye's speed and toughness, so... if I can control their movements a little, perhaps you can simultaneously and accurately hit their vital points and take care of them—at least most of them."
As Lin Yu spoke, Qian Huan let out a breath.
"It's still very difficult... But rather than the difficulty, what I want to ask is, are you really from 'Order'?"
Lin Yu was surprised: "I have already explained... I don't think the 'humans' in the Black Swamp Realm have similar appearances to us. They are just our compatriots."
"I know, but wouldn't you feel any psychological burden if you killed fifteen people at once? Although I don't, I thought that as a member of 'Order'... you would be more opposed to this plan."
Qian Huan looked at Lin Yu and continued to ask.
Lin Yu was thinking that this was just the beginning.
However, he still pretended to be thinking carefully and spoke.
"To be honest, I'm also against the wanton killing of innocent people—but...that's what the 'Death Game' is all about."
"Besides, I won't have any resistance to these guys this time—they are far from being 'innocent'."
As Lin Yu spoke, he took out the dagger of "Order", turned it half a circle in his hand and held it.
"Putting aside the fact that the Black Marsh Realm itself is insane...they are also well-trained soldiers—and they are soldiers who invade other countries, actively provoke conflicts, and participate in setting fire to villages where civilians live!"
"Perhaps they were just following orders... However, 'obeying orders' itself is also a choice - they should be aware that their choice may result in 'losing their lives'!"
