Chapter 1586 The Gunshots Fired Ahead of Schedule
Although it was already morning and the election process for the new day of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" had already begun, since "Grandmaster" had already personally gone to the site to oversee things, Liang Ye and Lin Yu, the two commanders-in-chief and deputy commanders-in-chief, did not really need to go to the site to follow up on today's process.
Therefore, Liang Ye, Lin Yu, and Zhi Yuan are still staying in the hotel at this moment.
The main reason is because...
The "paper kite" consumed a lot of energy, which meant that even though he had just taken a nap in his room to replenish his energy, he still needed to eat to replenish his energy.
and so……
At this moment, Paper Kite is wolfing down the takeout that Liang Ye just ordered.
“So what exactly happened?” Liangye looked at Zhiyuan and sighed, “Why did you suddenly kill ‘Yulinling’?”
Paper Kite, on the other hand, was quite frank: "Because he is guilty...Isn't it normal for me to kill a guilty person?"
“But Xiba may not be the murderer of ‘Redwood’,” Liangye asked seriously. “In fact, based on the information we have so far, it is almost certain that he is not the murderer of ‘Redwood’, but was framed like you.”
"Besides, since you've taken these actions, you should at least have a word with us!"
Hearing Liang Ye say this, Lin Yu could roughly understand...
Now, Liangye is once again under Li Hua's control.
Now, inside the hotel room, it seems as if a gentle night is asking a question of a kite...
But actually, it was Li Hua who was asking Lin Yu.
After all, the kite's actions... were obviously instructed by Lin Yu.
Zhiyuan put down the hamburger paper in her hand, wiped the Thousand Island dressing off her mouth with a napkin, put all the trash into the takeout bag, and then said, "I've discussed it—I, the 'director,' am aware of this matter."
As Zhiyuan spoke, she looked at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu nodded, no longer hiding anything: "Yes... and rather than him telling me, it would be more accurate to say that I was the one who first proposed the decision to kill 'Yu Linling'."
Lin Yu said calmly.
Although Zhiyuan walked out of the room and Lin Yu's attitude of knowing that the other party was there all along, Liang Ye and Li Hua behind him could easily guess that the two of them must have already discussed it.
However, after hearing Lin Yu frankly admit all of this, Liang Ye still spoke with a bit of a headache.
"Damn it... what am I supposed to say about you two?"
Although Liang Ye didn't know how to say it, Li Hua did.
After Liang Ye finished her subconscious complaint, she spoke again to relay Li Hua's opinion: "So... why kill 'Yu Linling'? I would like to hear your reasons."
"Why did you bring this up, 'Director'... and why did you readily agree, 'Kite'?"
Paper Kite spoke first: "I said before... 'Rainy Bell' was already on my investigation list."
"Although I now know that he was probably framed like me in yesterday's 'Redwood' murder case, it doesn't mean he is innocent."
"It is true that he has been secretly colluding with some scoundrels in the 'Hunter's Guild,' providing convenience to the 'Hunter's Guild,' and conducting long-term transactions."
“Furthermore… through further interrogation last night, it was confirmed that these [items] were indeed obtained by killing other 'players',” Paper Kite lowered his eyes, “He colluded with several powerful demons in the 'Prison Mountain Realm,' fabricating false information about powerful demons with over a thousand years of cultivation and their respective clans to the player community, thus causing the deaths of many 'players' and even mortals in the Prison Mountain Realm, in order to steadily acquire a large number of high-quality [items], especially weapons…”
"Therefore, his death is not a pity."
Liang Ye frowned: "Damn it, he does sound like a very dangerous guy... It would be a disaster if such a guy were a 'hot candidate' and had a chance to become 'chairman'."
“But even so, I will not praise you, I will not say you did a good job, Comrade Kite,” Liang Ye said slowly, his tone unusually oppressive. “This is not an appropriate action—to execute him, and to execute him now, will only cause trouble.”
"As you've all seen... at this critical juncture, the death of a 'Tier 3' or even a 'candidate' from the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' can cause a lot of turmoil—if it weren't for the fact that 'Grandmaster' happened to be here, the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' could have used this as an excuse to launch an attack and possibly kicked us out of the game!"
“Even if that situation didn’t happen now because of the ‘Grandmaster’ here… given the increasingly chaotic and uncertain situation in Shenzhen, killing ‘Yu Linling’ is still not a wise move.”
“At least... in the fight against the ‘Raiders’ or the ‘Psychological Society’, ‘Yu Linling’ can be an effective ‘Tier 3’ combat force—and if he doesn’t die, he can also find many faction members and helpers.”
Faced with Liang Ye's questioning, Zhiyuan did not explain, but only looked at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu said calmly, "I have considered all the risks you mentioned... I only instructed Zhiyuan to do this after comprehensively considering these factors and believing that killing him is still a suitable option."
“Even if ‘Grandmaster’ hadn’t happened to be here today, I would still have prepared some ways to quell the unrest in the ‘Player Mutual Aid Association’,” Lin Yu said earnestly. “It’s just that… ‘Grandmaster’ being here has indeed saved me a lot of trouble.”
Liang Ye spoke up, "Damn it...where does your confidence come from? I trust your abilities, but I need concrete evidence!"
At this moment, Liang Ye's tone and expression were somewhat disconnected from the content of his words.
After all, his words were very serious, but Liang Ye himself did not show much doubt towards Lin Yu, he just looked somewhat helpless.
Lin Yu could imagine that this was most likely Li Hua's attitude.
Therefore, Lin Yu also revealed his prepared countermeasure: "Among the candidates and candidate teams of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association'... even among the more popular candidates and candidate teams, there are my people."
"It wouldn't be appropriate to call them my people... In short, through some negotiation, I have temporarily developed some partners, and I am in a relatively dominant position in these partnerships—so, just now I was able to control the pace of the situation by manipulating them at any time."
"Although this method was not specifically designed for 'Yu Linling'... it is just right for dealing with this matter."
As Lin Yu spoke, Zhiyuan was somewhat shocked.
"How did you do that?"
“By chance, and with some help from the ‘administrators’,” Lin Yu shrugged, “there were risks, but it wasn’t too difficult, and I did succeed.”
Liang Ye wasn't surprised; he simply pondered, "I see... but what was the necessity of what you did?"
“Because ‘Yu Linling’ and ‘Zhi Yuan’ were both framed, I believe that ‘Yu Linling’ must have been specially chosen by the mastermind, rather than just a random scapegoat,” Lin Yu explained. “So, I want to know… what is so special about him that I want to thwart the mastermind’s plan.”
"After rationally considering this point, it's easy to see what actions we should take: We are investigating a group of potential culprits who have taken actions such as killing 'Redwood' and two others to frame 'Rainy Bell,' but they haven't forced 'Rainy Bell' away or killed him directly to confirm his identity as the 'murderer'—this is actually not too difficult; framing a dead person is much easier than framing a living person."
"This shows that they want 'Yu Linling,' the 'prime suspect,' to live and for everything to remain as it is."
"My idea is simple...do what they don't want us to do."
“Killing ‘Yu Linling’ will inevitably require them to take additional actions and expose themselves at greater risk,” Lin Yu said seriously. “After all, the death of ‘Yu Linling’ is likely to be something they never expected—if they are lucky, this link may be important enough to their plans and may cause significant disruption to their actions.”
"That's why I chose to bring 'Paper Kite' over... because his style and dogma are often very different from, or even completely contradictory to, 'Order's'. The more rational the mastermind is, and the more they assess and predict our actions according to 'Order's' standards, the less prepared they will be for something like 'Rain Bell' being killed directly."
Lin Yu recounted his story in an orderly manner.
"Of course, this plan has a very important premise... that 'Yu Linling' really deserves to die."
After listening to Lin Yu's series of revelations, Liang Ye let out a long sigh: "I understand, damn it, it does sound reasonable... but I still don't think the timing is the best."
"Because we have lost not only the vital force of 'Yulinling', but now that 'Zhiyuan' has really committed a crime, his actions will be greatly restricted."
"He was a 'Tier 3' officer you specially transferred here, who was allowed to move freely. Is he being wasted just because of this? What about your original plan?"
“‘Rain Bell’ is dead…then the others you were supposed to deal with will definitely be on guard—especially ‘Paper Kite’.”
"In fact, the reason those guys suddenly united is largely because quite a few people probably vaguely realized... what you wanted to do by bringing in 'Paper Kite'."
Li Hua reminded him through Liang Ye's words.
He was well aware of Lin Yu's purpose in borrowing "Paper Kite"—if "Monica" or other candidates with significant problems could not be prevented from being elected through normal means.
That "paper kite" is like an "insurance"—an insurance policy that can be used to flip the table.
Now that this insurance has been used in advance in a sense, its effectiveness will naturally be diminished.
Lin Yu looked at Liang Ye and said in a low voice, "I have also prepared a solution for this."
Liang Ye said, "What method do you have? Tell me."
"At that time, I will be responsible for carrying out my original plan."
Lin Yu said earnestly.
