Changing Life And Career? I Planted The World Tree At The Beginning

Chapter 151 Problem-Solving Ideas? Sorry For Cheating!

Perhaps it was because most of the residents of the small town had gone to participate in the bloody feast at the town center, and the fallen ones on the streets became very scarce.

Mayor Monalak's house was located near the edge of the small town.

Proceed according to the route provided by Sakem.

In a location close to the exit of the small town, next to a tall coniferous tree, Chen Yu saw a straight path.

The path was about two to three hundred meters long.

At the end was a spacious courtyard, with a length and width of nearly 50 meters.

The courtyard walls, made of blue stones, were very neat.

Inside, there were three two-story buildings.

Compared to the other crooked and oddly shaped patchwork buildings in the small town, this courtyard could be considered exquisitely beautiful.

This was Mayor Monalak's residence, as well as the place where the holy ones were imprisoned.

Chen Yu did not enter this path, but instead detoured through the gaps between other houses.

He arrived at the side and rear of the courtyard, far away from the several buildings, then leaped up and climbed onto the courtyard wall, exposing his head to observe.

Inside the courtyard, there were dozens of low wooden stakes.

Each wooden stake was tied with several iron chains.

At the other end of each iron chain was a fallen one with a chain around their neck.

These fallen ones had a vacant expression, their breath flickering like a candle in the wind, and most of them had physical disabilities.

Not far from these bound fallen ones, there were several crosses.

Several fallen ones were nailed to the crosses, and in front of each cross, there was a free-moving, strong and muscular fallen one, wielding instruments of torture and cruelly whipping and tormenting them.

The tortured fallen ones were barely alive, unable to even let out a scream.

Chen Yu paid no attention to these fallen ones, but instead turned his gaze to a position closer to the center of the courtyard.

There stood a taller wooden cross.

Five fallen ones armed with weapons were guarding it closely.

A girl who appeared to be around seven or eight years old was bound in the middle of the cross.

The girl was wearing a nun's attire, with her hands spread out flat, and a finger-thick iron nail pierced through the palms of her hands.

She was not wearing shoes on her feet, and behind the gap between her big toe and second toe, there were also iron nails nailed in.

The girl was not unconscious, but she also did not cry or struggle, her expression calm like a windless lake.

"I finally found her, it wasn't easy."

The girl was wearing the attire of a holy one, without the aura of the fallen ones. She was being guarded so closely, undoubtedly the target of his mission.

"How can I rescue her?" Chen Yu fell into deep thought.

Not to mention the mayor who was at least Level 200, all five fallen ones guarding the girl were Rank Three.

And they were likely elite monsters, with each guard's strength comparable to his own virtual body.

In fact, because he was in a weakened state, it was very likely that he couldn't defeat even one of them.

Forcing his way in was clearly unrealistic.

Tomorrow, the Saintess would be taken for sacrifice, and within such a short period of time, he couldn't infiltrate the mayor's house and gain their trust to guard the girl alone.

In reality, rescuing the girl was the simplest step.

The difficulty of the entire mission lay in how to escape the pursuit of the fallen ones after rescuing the Saintess, and safely escort the girl home.

However, Chen Yu currently had no clue about even the simplest first step.

"In theory, since this task has been set up, there should be a probability of success, it cannot be a 100% dead end."

"The fixed strength within the task tests one's ability to think outside the box, problem-solving intelligence, and adaptability in the face of unexpected situations."

"The period of time before the little girl is sent to the sacrificial ceremony is the only time when there is a possibility of successful rescue."

"When the little girl is sent out of this courtyard and appears on the street until she is sacrificed, she will definitely be closely watched by most of the corrupted individuals in the town."

A mere Rank Three corrupted clergyman naturally cannot resist thousands of corrupted individuals, all of whom are at least Rank Two in strength.

"The Saintess has been intercepted, and there should be more than just me taking action."

"The corrupted farmer and the grocery store owner mentioned before that there were other clergymen who attempted to break into the town, but none of them succeeded."

"The Saintess will be sacrificed tomorrow, so during this period of time, it should be safe."

"Can I leave the town first and find some clergymen to serve as cannon fodder, cough, reinforcements?"

"Or perhaps..."

Chen Yu looked at the corrupted individuals bound by iron chains in the courtyard.

The corrupted individuals are not all one big happy family.

Previously, several people on the carriages in the town center had already begun to Abyssify, but they were still being sold, killed, and devoured.

The suffering and torment in the courtyard are all Rank Two corrupted individuals who have completely Abyssified.

These corrupted individuals may not be residents of the town, and they are at least in conflict with the mayor.

Finding an opportunity to release them, stirring up chaos, and observing the situation from the sidelines, and then launching an attack at the right moment to save the Saintess, is also a choice.

However, both of these rescue methods come with great risks.

If I look for reinforcements and can't find any, it would be a waste of time and directly lead to the sacrifice of the Saintess, resulting in mission failure.

Releasing the prisoners can cause chaos, but his strength is not enough to protect the safety of the Saintess in the midst of chaos. If he's not careful, the Saintess will be sacrificed prematurely, resulting in mission failure.

"When one's own strength is insufficient, the key to breaking the deadlock lies in how to cleverly take advantage of the situation."

"Reinforcements may exist but are too elusive, and the prisoners are uncontrollable."

"In this town, besides the mayor, there should be a second faction that also covets the benefits brought by sacrificing clergymen."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Finding them, cooperating with them, and then using these prisoners at the right moment should be the correct approach to solving the problem."

Chen Yu did not act rashly, but left the courtyard to understand the situation in the town.

However, before he had taken a few steps, he stopped and had a frustrated expression on his face.

"Wait, what am I doing?!"

"Others are others, I am me!"

He suddenly remembered that he didn't need to follow the rules and solve the problem in a conventional way.

I can just wait here. As soon as the main body arrives, I can directly push through, right?

Why do I need to take advantage of anything? What problem do I need to solve?

Clearly, I am a player who specializes in violence, but I insist on playing as a player who relies on intelligence. Am I crazy?

The main body in the dark space has not been idle during this time.

The power that bound him has already been almost completely broken free from.

It won't be long before he gains freedom of movement.

If it were any other profession carrying out this task, their soul and will would probably be taken away in the first moment, completely unaware of the existence of the main body, only able to sense the virtual body.

Even if the main body arrives, its strength may not be as good as this Level 150 virtual body.

To use weak power to move the situation, carefully execute the task, and calculate every step to the extreme, it is necessary.

But Chen Yu is different!

"I am here to cheat, what can you do to me?"

"I have the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, I can complete the task with a single strike!"
