Lin Yu's Scheme and Script-"Order" Makes Its Entrance!
The master Heavenly Artisan just now was, of course, played by Lin Yu.
The real "Heavenly Artisan" Chen Zhitie has already been killed by Lin Yu.
This result was entirely within Lin Yu's expectations.
Lin Yu knew very well that this guy had been poisoned by "A Nian" much more deeply than he had been. He had probably had a very important Item stolen from him, which greatly reduced his Combat Power.
Therefore, Lin Yu had no doubt that he could defeat Heavenly Artisan.
What he was thinking about was how to use the Heavenly Artisan to gain more "benefits".
Joining the "Marauders" has simple and straightforward requirements, but it's not an easy thing to do.
Even if he could fabricate a "fake identity"... Lin Yu felt the risk was too great.
So, instead of starting from scratch and gradually gaining the trust of the "Marauders" organization...
Why not try substituting one thing for another?
Although the risks of impersonation are high, well...
According to Fu Luo's intelligence and Lin Yu's own investigation and observation, Heavenly Artisan is a very reclusive guy.
Such a reclusive person has few acquaintances to begin with.
The "Marauders" are not an organization as harmonious and deeply cooperative as the "Jiang'an Hall".
While they possess a certain level of organization, it's easy to understand... a group of Player wanted by "Order," who would commit murder and robbery even without any real-world survival pressures, how could they possibly trust each other?
It's even less likely that someone like Heavenly Artisan would have any close friends or confidants among them!
Moreover, Lin Yu had spent the entire Instance with him, so he had a basic understanding of Heavenly Artisan's temperament and habits.
Most importantly...
Lin Yu had complete confidence in his "acting skills" and the hastily prepared "script".
Based on his brief contact with "Almond" just now, Lin Yu was certain.
The other party had absolutely no idea that he wasn't Heavenly Artisan!
"The 'Marauders' side is probably fine. Now let's see if we can find any clues on the 'Order' side."
Lin Yu muttered to himself as he hurried back towards the "crime scene," Jiuxi Yuan area.
Although Heavenly Artisan was indeed quite skilled, Lin Yu's meticulous planning actually predetermined the time of Heavenly Artisan's death...
It happened one minute after the two met.
With a calculated move against an unsuspecting opponent, Lin Yu didn't even need to use his pistol.
With the physical strength of a "soldier," he struck Heavenly Artisan twice, leaving his hands numb and unable to hold the hammer properly.
But the third attack was truly fatal!
Lin Yu calculated that Heavenly Artisan thought he was holding Short Staff, and deliberately let Heavenly Artisan grab the [Fear Torch]...
He turned on the Torch.
The scorching flames instantly burned Heavenly Artisan's hands and face.
Because Heavenly Artisan released the fire quickly enough, the burn was only considered minor, but what happened next...
Lin Yu activated his advanced ability as a "Doctor".
He activated the [syringe] Item's effect, instantly worsening the burns Heavenly Artisan had suffered.
The excruciating pain caused Heavenly Artisan to panic for a moment, and the burns to his respiratory tract also impaired his mobility.
And in such moments...
Lin Yu the [syringe] and [Fear Torch] to kill Heavenly Artisan instantly!
As for why Fu Luo below could still hear the impact sound for so long...
It was Lin Yu did it on purpose.
He kept banging on his surroundings with a hammer and Torch, making what seemed like a lot of noise, while also checking Heavenly Artisan's phone and using the [Mask] to transform himself into Heavenly Artisan's appearance.
Through Heavenly Artisan's phone, Lin Yu intended to gain a deeper understanding of Heavenly Artisan's "persona," and on the other hand...
He was also learning about the "Marauders" and preparing to send a distress message.
After briefly glancing through his phone, Lin Yu sent a distress message. He then piled up the flammable materials in the room and recorded a "roar" which he placed at the entrance of the hallway, turning the volume up to maximum.
Next, he stripped Heavenly Artisan of his clothes and collected the Item he had looted.
Then, using the [Fear Torch], they set the Heavenly Artisan's corpse on fire, piled it on top of flammable materials, and adjusted the "volume".
Lin Yu changed into the Heavenly Artisan's clothes, then shot himself in the shoulder...
He jumped from the third floor.
Having used his "Doctor" abilities to heal his gunshot wound and minor fall, Lin Yu then began a series of performances.
As it turned out, the performance did indeed fool Fu Luo and Almond, a member of the "Marauders" who arrived later.
"Now that my identity as 'Heavenly Artisan' is confirmed, I should be able to act as Heavenly Artisan Craftsman from now on!"
With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yu returned to the territory of Jiuxi Yuan.
The fire started by the [Fear Torch] has been extinguished, and the entire building is charred black, leaving no trace.
Lin Yu went downstairs and found Fu Luo still unconscious.
Lin Yu's punch just now had just the right effect—stunning but not brain-damaging.
Lin Yu squatted down and then shook Fu Luo.
"Hey, wake up!"
Fu Luo was shaken awake by Lin Yu.
Looking at Lin Yu, who was staring at her with concern, Fu Luo felt apologetic. "I'm sorry, May..."
Lin Yu quickly spoke up, his expression a mixture of concern and self-reproach. "It's alright, it was my mistake. I was careless and let him get away. I couldn't catch up with him just now!"
"I almost got you killed!"
As Lin Yu spoke, Fu Luo rubbed his still slightly aching head. "Did I almost die?"
Faced with Fu Luo's questions.
Lin Yu nodded sincerely, his expression full of remorse. "I just noticed that you had symptoms of intracranial hematoma and severe concussion, but I was busy chasing after Heavenly Artisan, whom I couldn't catch up with at all, and I didn't notice it at first."
"Luckily, he ran too fast. He got into a taxi as soon as he left the neighborhood and disappeared. I was able to find him in time when I got back... I used my abilities to give you first aid."
"Any later and it would have been very dangerous!"
Lin Yu became emotional, clenching his fists and his eyes reddening. "I'm sorry... Sherlock, I was too arrogant! It's all my fault!"
Fu Luo stared at Lin Yu, somewhat stunned, then waved his hands repeatedly.
"It's okay, brother—you saved me in the end, didn't you?"
"And this is all thanks to the Heavenly Artisan!"
Lin Yu shook his head, somewhat dejected. "But I let him get away, so I gained nothing—you took that hit for nothing!"
Fu Luo looked at Lin Yu, who was still blaming himself, and couldn't help but laugh.
"It's okay, it wasn't for nothing. At least I gained a trustworthy friend."
"To be honest, I thought you were the kind of cold-hearted person who only knew how to use and threaten others," Fu Luo said, moved. "But your genuine feelings just now have confirmed to me... that you are a good person, a friend worth getting to know and trust!"
"What you did before was just a protective shield."
"This gain is far more valuable than a bounty of several thousand points."
Fu Luo spoke, he patted Lin Yu on the shoulder. "Besides, we might not come away empty-handed—if 'Order' catches that guy, we might even get points for 'providing clues'."
As soon as Fu Luo finished speaking, a strong voice rang out behind the two of them.
"Indeed, we are already pursuing 'Heavenly Artisan,' and the information you two provide is invaluable!"
Looking back, a tall man in a Police uniform walked over.
Lin Yu glanced at him, looked at the police rank on his shoulder, and understood.
"Third-rank Police Supervisor, judging from his demeanor, must be a veteran frontline officer, someone who earned his rank purely through seniority and ability."
Lin Yu instantly became more serious without showing any emotion, and his previously relaxed acting became even more seamless.
Fu Luo greeted the other party warmly.
"Brother Shan, 'Order' must bring that bastard to justice!"
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
"Oh, by the way... let me introduce you. This is my friend and temporary partner, May — her Profession is 'Doctor'!"
