Time seemed to have stopped in the trial space.
The Giant Horned Rhino that was stepping on Lin Huang's dead body suddenly stopped moving. The other monsters that were charging at him froze as well.
Not far away, the surveillance bird that was flapping its wings also stopped in the air, completely motionless.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button in the trial space.
Not far from Lin Huang's dead body, a figure slowly formed. It was Lin Huang's real body that he had revived with his Substitute Talent.
"That shadow wolf really came at the right time. Originally, I was thinking of going deeper into the forest to lure the shadow wolf out. Then, I would purposely leave an opening for them to attack. I didn't expect a lone wolf to give me such a surprise. It saved me a lot of time. "Lin Huang did not expect to be attacked by the Umbra Wolf.
If he had not faked his death, even if the Umbra Wolf had bitten his neck, Lin Huang could have summoned Bai to save him. Then, nothing would have happened.
However, considering that he was faking his death, Lin Huang decided to let it happen. In just a few seconds, he turned into a dead body under the hooves of the Umbra Wolf.
"Please complete the fake event as soon as possible."
"The scene of my death was real, so I used the scene of my death as the starting point for the fake event. Now, I need the Deception Card to create an identical fake body to replace the effect of the Substitute Body. I want everyone to believe that this fake body is my real body. I want everyone to think that I died in the trial space due to my carelessness. "
The effect of the Substitute Body would disappear in a few seconds. It could not be maintained for long, so Lin Huang needed a dead body. The Deception Card would create all sorts of deceptive items according to the user's requirements.
"The details of the dead body must be very clear, including my weapon rings and Emperor's Heart Ring. There must be no difference in the color, size, and size. I need to replicate the real body. If the Giant Horned Rhino continues to attack, I need to simulate what the dead body will do next.
"I even need a fake weapon ring to have the real effect. This is to prevent people from removing my weapon ring and finding out that it's fake. Can this be done? "
"All the props made by the Deception Card will look exactly the same as the real thing within the period of validity. However, it will automatically dissipate after the expiration date.]
"It doesn't matter. After a month, when the ring disappears, they will probably think that they accidentally lost it. And with Scarface's personality, he wouldn't let anyone touch my things. As for Hong Zhuang, she probably wouldn't even bother to take my equipment. I brought up this detail just in case. "Lin Huang nodded.
[Please select the target of your deception.]
"The targets of the deception are all creatures that have seen my corpse directly or indirectly. That includes all the creatures that saw my body through the surveillance bird, the surveillance camera, the Emperor's Heart Ring, or the reflection of mirrors and glass.
"My deception this time is actually not complicated. I just want everyone to think that I'm already dead." Lin Huang's lips curled up. "As long as the Purple Crow confirms my death, they won't bother me anymore."
"Is there anything else that you'd like to add?"
"I'll need the Deception Card to cover my aura completely when it's in effect. Nobody will be able to sense my presence, including people on Hong Zhuang's level," Lin Huang added.
"Begin to generate the deception item and process the deception effect …"
"The deception item has been generated …"
Lin Huang saw that his body had disappeared and was replaced by another corpse that looked exactly the same. He could not help but walk over and touch it. It felt exactly like the real person.
He used a Provisional Transformation Card and transformed into Spectre. Lin Huang then went under the dead body. Since his aura had been completely removed by the deception effect, he did not have to worry about being exposed when he hid under the dead body.
Soon, a notification popped up.
"The Deception Card is now in effect, valid for a month."
"From now on, time will return to normal. The real event will be switched to a fake event …"
…
Within the trial space, the originally stopped flow of time began to return to normal.
The Surveillance Bird flapped its wings and captured the scene of Lin Huang's death. It then sent the video back.
Scarface who was on the top floor of the tower had a drastic change of expression. He had been paying attention to Lin Huang's movements for the past few days. He was worried when he saw that Lin Huang did not summon his beasts when he entered the seventh floor. He did not expect the scene to happen so suddenly.
A Shadow Wolf appeared out of nowhere and pounced on Lin Huang. When Lin Huang fell to the ground, it looked like his neck was broken. Although he managed to kill the Ruinshade Wolf, there was a Giant Horned Rhinoceros charging towards him and stomping on him.
Lin Huang was not dead when the first stomp landed. However, when the second stomp landed, Lin Huang's body was completely paralyzed.
The Giant Horned Rhinoceros did not seem satisfied and continued to stomp on the deformed corpse.
Scarface rushed down to the seventh floor of the tower and quickly found the trial door that Lin Huang had just entered. He then used his special privilege to force the door open.
Once he entered the trial space, Scarface flew out and quickly found the location of Lin Huang's corpse.
He slapped down with his palm and all the monsters nearby died on the spot.
When Lin Huang saw him land, he quickly entered the corpse in his ghostly form. His real body had to be brought out with the corpse. Otherwise, the trial space would show that it was occupied.
As soon as the scar-faced man landed, he flipped Lin Huang over.
Lin Huang's corpse had already been trampled by the Giant Horned Rhinoceros. Almost all the bones in his body were broken, and his internal organs had turned to dust.
"How could this be?!" Scarface still could not believe it when he saw the corpse. However, Lin Huang's corpse was already in front of him, and he had clearly seen the scene in the video.
Scarface stood in place and examined the corpse. He could roughly determine the cause of Lin Huang's death.
After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the corpse and rushed toward the trial space's entrance.
After exiting the trial space, he carried the corpse back to his office and placed it on the ground. Then he returned to his desk and dialed a number.
Lin Huang took advantage of the fact that he was not paying attention to get out of the corpse. He burrowed into the ground and continued to observe the situation.
"Help me order a coffin right now and send it to my office." After the call connected, Scarface did not waste any time and said directly.
"Sir, are you talking about a coffin for a corpse?" The person on the other end of the line thought he had heard wrong and quickly confirmed.
"Don't talk nonsense. If a coffin isn't for a corpse, then what is it for?!" Scarface was in a bad mood. When he heard the question, he could not help but shout.
"I … I understand. Send it over immediately!" The staff was also frightened and did not dare to ask any more questions.
After hanging up the call, Scarface took a deep breath and stared at Lin Huang's corpse for a long time. He frowned.
About five or six minutes later, the man in sunglasses who was in charge of the public execution walked into the office from the elevator. When he saw the corpse on the ground, he was also stunned.
"Put him in the coffin." Scarface said to the man in sunglasses.
The man in sunglasses did not ask anything. He took out a Golden Silk Wood coffin and carefully placed Lin Huang's corpse inside. Just as he was about to pick up the coffin lid, he was stopped by Scarface.
"Okay, you can go."
The man in sunglasses nodded and turned to leave.
After the man in sunglasses left, Scarface frowned and dialed a number.
The video call request rang twice before it was connected.
"Why are you calling me at this time? Did something happen? "The person on the other side of the video call was the middle-aged Lu Xuan who sent Lin Huang to the training camp.
"Something happened to the kid you sent." Scarface looked at Lu Xuan with a serious face.
"It's okay. Just don't kill him." Lu Xuan waved his hand. He thought that Lin Huang did something unruly in the training camp.
"That kid is already dead …" Scarface had a helpless expression on his face.
"What?!" Lu Xuan's eyes widened. "What happened?"
Scarface then told him what happened. "I had no choice. Everything happened too fast. I couldn't even react when I was watching the surveillance. When I went down, he was already a corpse … "
"I've told you to keep an eye on him, but he died right under your nose … You know Master Hong Zhuang's temper. We're in big trouble this time." Lu Xuan was having a headache as well. "Master Hong Zhuang, you and I are in big trouble.
"What do we do now? We can't hide it anymore." Scarface looked troubled.
"We can't hide it from her. We have to inform her immediately. Otherwise, the consequences will be worse if she finds out that we're delaying." Lu Xuan said immediately, "I'll inform her about this immediately. You can think of a way to find someone more talented than that kid and recommend him to Master Hong Zhuang."
"Someone more talented than him? I don't think there's anyone like that in all the other training camps in Division7, let alone me. " Scarface looked troubled. "You don't know that he's an Imperial Censor and he has a double mutated vampire …"
"No wonder Master Hong Zhuang recommended him …" Lu Xuan then knew why Hong Zhuang liked Lin Huang.
"Stop blaming me. Tell me what we should do now!" Scarface was out of ideas.
