Chapter 414: "Bright Sword" Becomes Dark Arrow
The sincerity of the writer did not impress the God of Truth. The questioning from the old man's mouth was full of sarcasm: "Do you expect these words to convince people?"
"I don't care whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." Lin You sneered and asked, "There are so many supreme gods, do you think they believe in you or me?"
The old man remained silent. Although he looked down on the author's cautious and stingy behavior, if he were in the other's shoes, the God of Truth might not make the same choice. What is striving for the top, what is being on an equal footing with the Supreme God? It's just a nice way of saying it.
The author looked timid, but in fact he had already reaped rich dividends from the Great World Plan; except for a few supreme gods, no one had more say than him. Because of the Great World Plan, the author's status in the virtual dimension had even surpassed that of most gods.
Isn't it obvious that the only true gods that the writer can really handle with caution are God, Chronos, and a few others. Apart from a few major pantheons such as the Western Paradise, the Garden of Eden, Olympus, the Pantheon, and Asgard, are there any other minor pantheons that can have a say in front of the writer?
Often, only those who are truly confident can be tolerant; if the God of Truth had the author's current status, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams. The reason why He repeatedly took unconventional approaches and offended one pantheon after another was because He did not have the "truth factor" that could give Him enough confidence, wasn't it?
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Looking at the God of Truth who couldn't help but fall into deep thought, Lin You couldn't help but remind him.
"How strange! Are you urging me to leave? I thought you would let me stay as long as possible so that I can confirm my location!" the old man sneered disdainfully.
"I usually don't do useless things." Lin You retorted, "I'm not like you. I won't cling to unrealistic hopes."
"What do you mean?"
"It's just an analogy." Lin You sneered, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the old man's skin and point directly to the soul of the God of Truth. "For example, if I were in your position, I would never expect to convince the writer to stand on my side. You only have a few chips, a small family workshop, and you want to poach the technical director of a Fortune 500 company?"
“Many of the world’s top 500 companies started out as small workshops.” Having lived under the guise of the Morgan family for half a century, the God of Truth is no stranger to human society.
Lin You sneered: "In theory, it is true. Unfortunately, you have offended too many gods. Even if you sincerely repent, God cannot save you. Therefore, even if you are a pig, you will not be able to wait for the opportunity to take off."
"I'm not a believer in God, why should I confess? I am..." The old man stopped talking halfway, his face changing from gloomy to bright; he realized something was wrong just after he had said it, and the two sides were mocking each other, and he was almost led into a ditch by the writer without realizing it.
Seeing that the other party braked in time at the last moment, Lin You couldn't help but feel disappointed; he had tried several times to get something out of the other party's mouth, but unfortunately he failed every time.
The vigilance of the God of Truth is indeed beyond the reach of those "Vikings".
"Just say it, what can't you say? No matter how much you hide, in the end, won't you still have to rely on your strength to show your true colors?" Lin You did not give up and used the method of provoking him, "It's like you hide in the time forbidden zone, but in the end, you still have to fight head-on with Thor and Tyr to decide the winner?"
"Then wait until you find me." The old man's voice returned to calm. The writer's provocation obviously didn't work.
"If I can find you once, I can find you a second time." Lin You said harshly.
"Try it. If I can escape once, I can escape a second time. With Ares's true godhood, you can't kill me."
"Give it a try." Lin You responded with the same words. The old man stopped talking; the moment he shut up, his "radiant" face lost all its life. His eyes lost focus, and his eyeballs became cloudy; his body suddenly hunched over, and even with both hands he couldn't support the cane, and he staggered, as if every breath was an extremely difficult action for him.
In less than a minute, the abandoned body was dead.
Lin You did not alarm anyone and left quietly in the same way he came.
This old man was the backup that the God of Truth left for the Morgan family. Now that he is dead, the "cleansing" of the Morgan family has naturally come to an end.
In addition to this old man, there were two unexpected gains from this encounter with the God of True Thoughts.
First, the God of Truth does have powerful helpers around him; judging from the sentence he didn't finish, this helper should come from a powerful pantheon. At least the God of Truth believes that they are qualified to compete with God.
Secondly, the other party has not yet discovered that I brought back the "Sword of God Slayer" from Paradise Island. Letting Diana act as a hidden card in the subsequent actions may be a good choice, and you can look forward to the surprise at the critical moment.
With the idea of turning an open sword into a hidden arrow, when Lin You brought Diana to Cape Town, both of them made sufficient disguises.
"I forgot how to use a camera again." Diana turned the "big, black and crude" camera of the era over and over again, looking for the shutter while pretending to take pictures of the marching soldiers. But she forgot that she had not opened the waterproof cover of the lens...
Seeing this scene, Lin You couldn't help but have serious doubts. He wondered if his idea of pretending to be a war correspondent was totally wrong.
Wonder Woman's talent seems to be all focused on combat skills. When faced with things other than combat, especially modern technological products, the aura that comes from her bloodline of the god of war completely disappears, and she often appears clumsy.
He doesn't even know how to use a camera. He doesn't look like a war correspondent at all.
"Give me the camera! Remember, you are just a reporter's assistant, responsible for recording and organizing text materials. You don't need this camera." It was too late to sharpen the knife at this moment, and being seen by others would only arouse more suspicion, so Lin You did not bother and directly demoted the other party.
"That's no problem. English is not difficult. I can already read and write." But Diana seemed unhappy about being demoted. She felt more relaxed with less responsibilities.
"It seems that Irene taught well?" Lin You praised sincerely.
Although the story of the virtual dimension comes from a movie, the big world is no longer just a movie story; at least, the Amazons, as the descendants of the ancient Greek mythology era in this world, do not speak English. Therefore, the first step for Diana to integrate into human society is to learn a foreign language.
Fortunately, Wonder Woman’s confusion when it comes to modern technology did not extend to language learning; on the contrary, she performed amazingly well, learning to speak it in a month wandering around the Mediterranean, and learning to read and write in a week in London.
As expected, the essence of genius is actually academic bias, just like a tilted cup of water; when the water level on one side drops, the water level on the other side will rise.
