Chapter 1368 The Last Stop, the Freedom Alliance
Although if Skinner were to actually fight, he might be able to hold off Lin Yu and Lao Zheng and call in reinforcements from the Psychological Society.
However, because Schreiber's reputation was too great, and Old Zheng next to him also seemed to be a master in the organization, Skinner didn't even have the courage to make a move.
Furthermore, Lin Yu consistently maintained a "confident" and superior demeanor when speaking with Skinner, therefore...
After Lin Yu negotiated with Skinner, conveyed the message he wanted to deliver, and obtained some information, he actually managed to escape unscathed.
"Boss, so your goal... is to get the Psychological Society involved too?"
Walking on the streets of Shenzhen, Old Zheng used his mental energy to check and confirm that there were no spies from the 'Psychological Society' or other organizations following him in the quiet streets where there was no one around. Then he cautiously asked.
Lin Yu seemed much more relaxed. He nodded slightly when he heard the question.
"Of course... since they're here, it's beneficial for me to involve them as well."
Old Zheng frowned: "Why? If the Psychological Association gets involved... wouldn't that make 'order' even more uncontrollable?"
"To ensure the smooth conduct of the 'Player Support Association' election, we should try to keep the 'Psychology Association' out of the running, right?"
"Even if you told them about the 'Raiders' deployment, once the 'Psychological Society' gets moving, they might not just target the 'Raiders'; they'll most likely make the situation even more chaotic."
Lin Yu looked at Lao Zheng with some curiosity.
"Old Zheng, why do you think I want the scene to be 'orderly' rather than 'chaotic'?"
Old Zheng was also stunned: "Because of you, boss..."
Old Zheng paused for a moment, seemingly speechless.
He then realized what was happening on his own...
Yes, although our boss joined "Order" as a "director," and this role is almost inextricably linked to the boss himself, but...
My boss's stance has never been on the side of 'order'.
It's just that recently the boss has been acting too much as a 'director,' and most of his actions are geared towards facilitating the arrangements made in his 'director' role. So even I subconsciously think that the boss seems to be siding with 'order.'
Seeing that Lao Zheng was speechless, Lin Yu realized that the other party had already realized what was going on.
After all, Lao Zheng is very smart.
"It's true that I want to find the people from 'Copper Furnace,' but I'm not doing this because of 'Order,'" Lin Yu said calmly. "It's just that 'Order' and 'Gambler' have similar goals, so they're taking action under the guise of 'Director.'"
“Li Hua is on the side of ‘Order’ and hopes to find the mole within ‘Copper Furnace’ of ‘Order’, while also ensuring the smooth conduct of the ‘Player Mutual Aid Association’ election,” Lin Yu said in a low voice. “But I don’t have that concern. The election of the president of the ‘Player Mutual Aid Association’… I will also try my best to ensure its smooth conduct based on the idea of making contributions to the ‘Director’ identity, but it is not a high priority.”
“Besides, Old Zheng… you know, right? It’s not just within ‘Order’ that there might be members of ‘Copper Furnace’,” Lin Yu said casually. “So you should be happy to see me dragging the ‘Psychological Society’ into this, shouldn’t you?”
Old Zheng realized what was happening.
Lin Yu means...
His goal was simply to find the members of the "Copper Furnace" gang.
After all, Lin Yu investigated the "Copper Furnace" because this organization had shown him malice.
and……
This organization may contain "players" from the previous generation—and among those "players," there may be those who have had contact with "Lin Zhao"!
Although the Order is almost certain that there is a member of the Copper Furnace, and the investigation into this member is progressing the best.
But Lin Yu can approach things from more than just this angle.
After the Psychological Society and the Raiders leave the scene, the members of the Copper Furnace among them may also reveal their weaknesses.
“Although you are no longer the president of the ‘Psychological Society’ and this organization you founded has deviated from your original ideas, I believe you are also curious whether anyone has infiltrated this organization and contributed to this ‘deviation’,” Lin Yu said, looking at Lao Zheng with burning eyes. “Lao Zheng, don’t you want to know?”
"Perhaps your death... is also related to these things?"
Old Zheng looked at Lin Yu and laughed silently: "Boss, I would have done my best to help you anyway, you didn't need to use such rhetoric on me, did you?"
Old Zheng, who was well-versed in psychology, naturally knew what Lin Yu was doing.
Lin Yu did not deny his intentions: "Because you yourself 'wanted to investigate,' and you helped me out of a sense of obligation, even if both were done 'with all your might,' I think there might be a difference."
“Words may be words, but everything I’m saying is true… You should be able to tell and analyze that I’m not lying to you.”
Lin Yu spoke calmly, and Old Zheng sighed.
"I am somewhat tempted... but I don't have the energy to think about that much anymore, boss."
"Although I now have something like a 'body' with your help... in essence, I'm left with only a brain."
"I'm more concerned about where the fluvoxamine went than about the mole in the Psychological Society."
Old Zheng looked at the phone Lin Yu was holding and sighed.
“I will also investigate this,” Lin Yu said, not pressing Lao Zheng any further. “Anyway, the Psychological Society will get involved… Next time we make contact, perhaps we can do it under the identity of this ‘Fluvoxamine’.”
“Alright, now that the Psychology Society has been dragged into this mess, the situation will definitely become even more chaotic and will exceed the expectations of both 'Order' and 'Raiders',” Lin Yu said, as the cooldown of [Mask] had ended. He turned to a secluded corner and changed his face again. “Then… it’s time to look at my ‘escape route’ and ‘safe house’.”
At this moment, Lin Yu had transformed into the image of 'Zhu Ming'.
The [Cyber Ghost's Electronic Coffin] in his hand has also been transformed into Zhu Ming's.
Although it was late at night, the members of the "Freedom Alliance" were still awake and the group chat was still lively—they were clearly enjoying a late-night snack cooked by the culinary master.
[Magician: [Image]]
[Magician: After eating the chef's meal, I'm fully recharged]
[Mountaineer: Wow, this is food porn late at night, I'm so hungry too!]
[Master Thief A-Nian: I should have gone to Shenzhen too]
[Braised Magikarp: @Magician, have you all gathered? Did you pick up Xiaoyun? Is the comedian here?]
Comedian: [Picture]
The picture posted by the comedian was a candid group photo. The closest part of the picture was his thumb. The members of the "Freedom Alliance" sat around a mahogany coffee table. On the table were the light and delicious home-style dishes and porridge that Qianhuan had just photographed.
In the frozen moment, Old Zhou is intently gnawing on a piece of spine, looking as if he is extremely hungry.
The master chef sat on the sofa, sipping sugarcane, imperata root, and water chestnut water, enjoying everyone's fascination with his culinary creations.
Qianhuan held the bowl in one hand and drank his special portion of spleen-strengthening and qi-nourishing soup, while fiddling with his phone in the other.
Xiaoyun precisely raised her left hand, creating a three-point line in front of the camera and her face, so that only her black sleeves and the hem of her skirt could be seen.
Amidst the lively group chat, Lin Yu sent a message.
[Dog trainer: Do you have an address? I'm also in Shenzhen.]
Lin Yu's message immediately garnered several replies.
[Braised Carp King: Are you in Shenzhen?]
[Master Thief Anian: Sister Zhu Ming, why did you go to Guangdong Province by yourself?]
[Magician: [Location Information]]
[Magician: Holy crap, come on!]
[Comedian: @MasterThiefANian I don't think he came on his own]
[Master Chef: Okay, there's enough food. You can let me know in advance if there's anything you'd like to eat.]
[Embalmer - Xiaoyun: Where are you in Shenzhen? Do you need me to pick you up?]
[Dog trainer: No need, I'm not far away, I'll be right there]
Lin Yu looked at the location information sent by the magician, which showed that it was nearly forty kilometers away, and sent a reply in the group that said it was blatant lying.
The Chef's home is in the suburbs of Shenzhen—but it's in a completely different direction from the strongholds of the 'Raiders' and the 'Psychological Society'.
Therefore, the distance is particularly far.
But Lin Yu still said, "It's not far."
After all, he didn't intend to reveal his current location.
Moreover, Lin Yu does indeed possess the means to traverse "more than forty kilometers".
"Old Zheng, we've confirmed that the surrounding area is safe now, right?"
Lin Yu confirmed with Old Zheng, who had been using his mental energy to scan, once again.
Old Zheng nodded.
"Of course, boss, there aren't many 'players' around here, let alone any living people... right now, there aren't even many living people left."
Although Shenzhen is a megacity where land is extremely valuable and the population is dense, there are still sparsely populated areas.
After scanning the area with his mental energy and confirming that no one was around, Lin Yu...
He temporarily put away Old Zheng and then summoned Hannah.
"Hannah, conceal my form."
"Quack! Got it!"
Hannah skillfully applied an optical camouflage to Lin Yu's figure.
Lin Yu raised his hand, and a pair of silver jade bracelets on his wrist made a crisp "clinking" sound.
A gentle evening breeze, blowing through the steel jungle of the city, came at his beckoning and softly wrapped around his wrist.
Then...
This gentle breeze stirred up a storm hundreds of kilometers away on the sea, which was predicted to make landfall the day after tomorrow, creating a subtle resonance.
An unusual gale suddenly rose around Lin Yu, as if the witchcraft from another world had tamed the wind of this world as well!
Then, Lin Yu was swept up and tossed into the air like a piece of paper, and began to move in the predetermined direction!
