Chapter 73 The Trap

As I turned around, I saw Yi Lǜ standing not far from us.

I smiled wryly and said, "Is there anything else?"

Yi Lǜ said, "The Wangqing Lao Zu (Forget Love Ancestor) you're looking for is in the coffin."

I smiled and asked, "Then where is Ying Gou's corpse?"

Yi Lǜ shook her head. "I don't know. I only remember that when we came down last time, we saw someone in the Underworld Sea who called himself Wangqing."

"At the time, he was sitting on the coffin, drifting over, and he said a lot to me. I only remember him saying that we could never get out again unless we could repeat what we did that year one day, to restore him to peace. Otherwise, we would be trapped in the Great Dreamland like this, neither dead nor alive."

While Yi Lǜ was speaking, I quietly gestured to Ye Yang and the others.

The three of them changed positions without a sound, surrounding Yi Lǜ.

Yi Lǜ probably noticed our movements, but she didn't react. She continued, "We were six people when we came down into the Secret Burial Ground. Now, you and Lü Peng, plus you guys, are also six people."

"We can repeat what happened back then, and you can still see Wangqing!"

I looked at Yi Lǜ with a hint of playfulness. "And then? We repeat what you did back then and die in the Secret Burial Ground one by one, right?"

Yi Lǜ shook her head. "You won't necessarily die! After all, we are all seeking liberation, not death. Since you have something you want, why not try?"

I waited until Ye Yang and the other two were in position before saying, "Are you Zhu Zi Ning or Zhu Zi Yan? I guess you're Zhu Zi Yan. If it were Zhu Zi Ning, I wouldn't be able to lead you by the nose so easily."

Yi Lǜ exclaimed, "What Zhu Zi Ning, Zhu Zi Yan? I don't know what you're talking about!"

I sneered and looked at her. "Besides the people from the Reincarnation Division, who else would use the Reincarnation Division's secret techniques?"

"As far as I know, the Reincarnation Division has a unique secret technique called 'Reincarnation', which allows people to do what some people did in the past. As long as the scene of that year is repeated without any difference, the karma can be resolved for the people of that time."

"The consequences of this karma will also be transferred to the person who performs the secret technique."

"The Reincarnation secret technique has appeared three times, and as a result, three experts of术道 (Shu Dao, arts and skills) were tricked to death. Do you think I will repeat their mistakes?"

Yi Lǜ calmly said, "I don't know what you're talking about?"

I smiled. "I've been wondering why the Reincarnation Division would obediently send over a hundred dead people into the Great Dreamland. That's not in line with the Reincarnation Division's style."

"Mixing private goods in with those dead people is the normal operation of the Reincarnation Division."

"You probably thought of this too, so you deliberately pushed out a few living people in Second Village to dispel my suspicion."

"You probably didn't expect that it was precisely because of those people you pushed out that my suspicion became even stronger."

I paused slightly before continuing, "Zhu Zi Ning and Zhu Zi Yan are good at using soul secret techniques! They can quickly seize control of people."

"Lü Peng's adventure team may really have existed, but Yi Lǜ is no longer the person she was back then."

"It was wise of you to choose to hide by Lü Peng's side to deceive me, but it's hard to change one's nature. Your actions are too similar to Zhu Zi Yan's."

"That makes me suspect that you are Zhu Zi Yan."

"But I'm also curious, how did you make your soul look like someone else's?"

Yi Lǜ smiled. "True charm can be ever-changing."

"Men like beautiful women, but they also have their own preferences. If you want to capture your target's senses, you have to cater to their tastes, right?"

Yi Lǜ's words were tantamount to admitting that she was Zhu Zi Yan.

Zhu Zi Ning disdains using charm to deceive people.

Zhu Zi Yan said, "What I can tell you is that Lü Peng's team did exist, and I am repeating everything he did back then."

"Keep talking, so I can see how I lost to you."

I said, "Ever since I met you, I have been observing you carefully. Although you showed me a story, you didn't change your habits."

"People who are good at using charm are best at not deceiving their opponents, but at hurting them. Arousing the other party's desire to protect, even if everyone else is doubting her, as long as her target believes in her wholeheartedly, she wins."

"Zhu Zi Yan has a habit of looking into the other person's eyes every time she wants to attack their psychological defenses. You are the same."

"You looked into Lü Peng's eyes several times, and although his attitude didn't change, your actions betrayed your identity."

Zhu Zi Yan subconsciously touched her eyelids. "It seems that's true!"

"Since you had already discovered it, why didn't you expose me? Why did you have to wait until now to strike?"

I responded indifferently, "Because I was afraid you would run away."
