Heavenly Artisan's Past, Lin Yu's Plan

Lin Yu didn't understand why Fu Luo had agreed so readily to join him in the "Heavenly Artisan" project.

To be honest, this was quite dangerous.

Based on Lin Yu's expectations for Fu Luo and his performance in the previous Game Instance, this guy seems to be the rather cowardly type.

However, since the other party had agreed, Lin Yu naturally wouldn't refuse.

After all...

Lin Yu needs a "partner" for what he is about to do.

On the way to that unfinished residential area, in the taxi, Lin Yu was also looking at the information about "Heavenly Artisan" that Fu Luo had compiled.

Heavenly Artisan's True Name Chen Zhitie, and he is thirty-five years old this year.

As Fu Luo said, he used to be a junior manager in a construction company and a top student who graduated from Yu Province University of Technology with a degree in civil engineering.

I officially joined the "Death game" more than two months ago and completed my "Tier Advancement" last month.

On the day the "Tier Advancement" Instance Heavenly Artisan Craftsman was completed, he returned to reality and killed three Player in Zhengcheng, Yu Province.

After lying in wait for a week, just as he was about to enter the next Instance... he went to the neighboring Yangcheng and killed two Player.

An investigation revealed that the Player who were killed appeared to have had prior dealings or contact with him.

After he announced his joining the "Marauders," "Order" and the Administrator of the two cities in Yu Province issued a warrant for his arrest and launched a manhunt to kill him.

However, so far, there have been no results.

Because Chen Zhitie "Heavenly Artisan," had no relatives or friends, he immediately resigned from his previous job after the incident and disappeared from Zhengcheng.

Some people on the forum suspected and speculated that this guy might have run off to another place!

After all, although "Order" has many officials in it, it is ultimately not the real government!

No matter how powerful this organization is, it cannot block traffic or investigate consumer records.

While it may be troublesome for someone to hide away from the "Order," it is not impossible.

After all, "Order" couldn't possibly dedicate all of its manpower to a single "Heavenly Artisan".

So, looking at this detailed information, Lin Yu was still somewhat curious.

How did you pinpoint his location?

In response to Lin Yu's question, Fu Luo humbly replied in a low voice.

"Well, he was quite famous a month ago, and I just looked him up casually when I had nothing else to do."

"Although Order and the forum don't have the resources to dig deep... they've already uncovered most of the information, so I asked my contacts in Order about what they already knew."

"Although this guy is quite cunning, you know that saying, 'Everything leaves a trace'... He can't hide anything from me."

Fu Luo spoke, Lin Yu nodded.

"I know, it comes from Aide Roca—he's also the founder of modern criminal investigation. What you said is the cornerstone of all forensic evidence, Roca's Law."

"However," Lin Yu hesitated, "That statement only applies to situations involving on-site investigation..."

Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo with suspicion.

Fu Luo grinned. "Yes, so I went. I went to the scenes of his two murders and the workplace he used to work at."

"Although 'Order' believes that the Heavenly Artisan killed because he was treated unfairly during the transaction and harbored resentment... that is not actually the case."

"He killed five people just to cover up the two he really wanted to kill—one was a supplier his construction company had worked with once, and the other was a worker on the construction team."

"Coincidentally, these two are also 'Player'."

"Heavenly Artisan is quite cunning; he even deliberately made deals and contacts with those two guys—at the gathering in Zhengcheng, Yu Province."

Fu Luo spoke, Lin Yu was also quite surprised.

"So, his motive for killing was related to reality?"

"Probably. I kept investigating," Fu Luo said, stroking his chin. "And then I found out about the unfinished residential complex we were going to, Jiuxi Yuan... This was built by the construction team, the supplier, and the company that Heavenly Artisan was affiliated with."

"When I first got the case, I didn't investigate further... This time when I came back, I was bored yesterday and started looking into it again, and that's when I made the discovery."

"Heavenly Artisan once bought a house there himself."

Fu Luo said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu suddenly felt a sense of realization.

"You just said that 'Heavenly Artisan' has no family, right? How exactly does he have no family?"

Fu Luo chuckled when he heard Lin Yu's question.

"You're quite perceptive indeed, you immediately realized the problem—his parents divorced when he was very young, his mother remarried, and he hasn't seen her for over ten years."

"Then my father died young from alcoholism, and I was left to live with my old Comrade-in-Arms -arms."

"When he was in his second year of high school, his father's old Comrade-in-Arms also died, and it seems that he lived at school after that."

"The remaining relatives... don't keep in touch much."

"He's self-reliant; he went to a decent school and worked part-time throughout his studies—that's roughly the situation."

Lin Yu let out a soft breath.

"Now I completely understand his motive for killing."

It could be loosely considered Revenge... no, in reality, it's less about Revenge and more about...

To vent one's anger.

For someone like Heavenly Artisan, who has no relatives, he can only rely on himself.

He longed for a home of his own more than anyone else.

That house has probably been imbued with too many beautiful images by Heavenly Artisan.

The company I work for, the house I oversee—it's my own home.

He has no family, and emotionally, that house is probably his family.

And ultimately...

That housing project was abandoned.

This means that the hope placed on the Heavenly Artisan craftsmanship has vanished.

Although we don't know what happened between the building material suppliers and the construction team, it may or may not be related to this unfinished project...

However, in the end, Heavenly Artisan chose to ruthlessly eliminate them.

This is also why Fu Luo is certain that Heavenly Artisan should be there.

"I'm afraid Heavenly Artisan is living in the house he bought back then."

As Lin Yu spoke, Fu Luo nodded.

"Yes... there's a very high chance he'll be there."

"And he should be alone—but can you beat him? He's Tier 1 Player has already Tier Advancement!"

"Even though you have a gun, this guy can kill five people; he's probably not someone to be underestimated..."

Fu Luo looked at Lin Yu and asked.

Lin Yu spoke with a smile.

"It's alright, I'm also at Tier 1 —and besides, the Tier 1 Combat Power of a 'Doctor' is not weak."

As Lin Yu spoke, Fu Luo looked somewhat surprised.

"You're Tier 1? And from what you're saying, you didn't choose the [Medicine Box], but instead chose the [Syringe]?"

Lin Yu nodded.

"Yes, I chose the 'Quack Doctor' path for advancement."

"However... for my safety, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."

Fu Luo said seriously, "Please speak."

"You just said you have connections in 'Order,' right? -- If a fight breaks out later, call in more people for me!"
