Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1233 - 224:

"That guy really dares to think, planning to join our team." Tan Wenbin paused, "But, to be fair, he does have a keen eye."

Li Zhiyuan: "If he follows the normal process, his success rate is actually very high."

Tan Wenbin: "So Wu Qinhai and Xin Jiyue are accompanying me on this island 'wandering the world' just to build a rapport with me, laying an emotional foundation for joining the team next."

"Hmm, you are the insider's chosen introducer."

"But there's a problem, and that's they're both too weak. Neither of them can replace Ah You's position."

"That's a problem, but it can be solved. Ah You's main combat power also comes from the White Crane Child, right?"

"Brother Xiao Yuan, do you mean there will be fortuitous encounters arranged for them next?"

"It's like making a gift package for oneself and delivering it in a slightly more normal way. Considering the intensity of today's attack on Ah You by those three, I reasonably suspect the gift package should be on this island."

Tan Wenbin raised his head, organizing his thoughts, and then summarized by counting on his fingers:

"Step one, earn my trust and create an emotional foundation.

Step two, kill Ah You to vacate a position on the team.

Step three, obtain the gift package, elevate their strength, and have abilities no less than Ah You's.

Step four, join our team reasonably and convincingly."

Li Zhiyuan reminded: "You skipped a step. Step three should involve those three dying in battle, and after their deaths, the gift package appears, preventing any abruptness."

Tan Wenbin: "Tsk, he's really willing to make sacrifices. It's like offering up everyone on this island as a sacrifice as his proof of loyalty to join our team."

Li Zhiyuan: "It's a pity you noticed the clues at the first step."

Tan Wenbin: "Haha, even if I hadn't noticed, it wouldn't escape Brother Xiao Yuan's eyes."

Li Zhiyuan shook his head: "Not necessarily, a deduction lacking key information often leads to inaccuracy.

I just said, his success rate is actually very high.

This conclusion is based on the premise of blocking you from this information.

Now we find him a bit ridiculous because we already have the Heavenly Eye opened."

Tan Wenbin: "So when those three launched an attack just now, Brother Xiao Yuan, you remained so calm."

Li Zhiyuan: "I simply didn't give any commands, but in fact, except for 'injured you,' we all fought back."

Tan Wenbin laughed. This team of theirs, with Brother Xiao Yuan's command and without, are two completely different concepts.

Li Zhiyuan didn't overstate Tan Wenbin's contributions, without Tan Wenbin first risking his life to test out concrete conclusions, Li Zhiyuan wouldn't dare to face off so lazily and passively.

Because the boy already knows the opponent's motive, since the opponent intends to join his team, he will naturally have a host's spirit.

A ridiculous and absurd scene, his opponent might cherish the team structure even more than himself.

He certainly wouldn't kill himself, as killing him would cause the team to disperse; Run Sheng is the team's cornerstone, and he must protect it too; Tan Wenbin is the introducer and mustn't meet any mishap.

Ah You must die.

Yin Meng is the remaining ambiguous one.

Setting aside Yin Meng's identity as a member of the Yin family and his toxic traits, from a pure team-building perspective, Yin Meng is not that indispensable.

So, Li Zhiyuan didn't arrange for Yin Meng to go on watch but kept him nearby to cook.

Li Zhiyuan took out the wordless book, first turned to the second page, and the monkey in the cage was still curled up. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Before landing on the island, he had some guesses about this painting, and now it's confirmed, the meaning is that someone is on this island.

Returning to the second page, the cage still contained a pile of ashes.

Even though the evil book had been squeezed so severely, the wordless book still didn't arrange a small cage for the evil book.

The one most aware of the prisoner's danger is undoubtedly the warden.

Li Zhiyuan placed his left hand on the book page and began to deduce.

The boy never wasted the daily quota, and early completion means their team's strength could see a huge improvement sooner.

The deduction ended.

Li Zhiyuan looked at his right hand, where the red threads in the blood mist had automatically wrapped into a ball.

At the current level, barring extreme situations, it would barely suffice.

Li Zhiyuan concentrated, and the red threads began winding up, the single thread gradually forming segments.

The boy's palm was like a flowerpot, and these threads were the stems and leaves extending outward.

"Brother Binbin."

"Hmm?"

"Help me conduct a test."

"Alright, Brother Xiao Yuan."

"It shouldn't hurt, but you'll feel a strong sense of crisis because once this thread enters your body, your life and death will be under my control. You must do your best to suppress your aversion to this aura, especially those two children on your shoulder."

"Don't worry Brother Xiao Yuan, those two kids wouldn't dare resist you."

Li Zhiyuan nodded, and a red thread flew from his right hand, piercing Tan Wenbin's brow.

Tan Wenbin's body trembled, it wasn't painful indeed, but at that moment, he felt a severe sense of dread, as if experiencing a terrifying nightmare, instinctively wanting to break free.

He was struggling to restrain this instinct.

Actually, this is an evil skill meant to turn others into your puppets.

But it lacks compulsive force, meaning that success is almost impossible if the other party resists.

However, everyone in the boy's team is willing to trust him, laying a solid foundation for the feasibility of this skill.

Li Zhiyuan certainly didn't intend to control them; turning beings with subjective consciousness into puppets is a highly unrewarding task.
