Two people from the South China Region stood before the Player Mutual Aid Society, one playing the bad cop and the other the even-badder cop.
Although Ren Gu and Loquat Candy spoke in calm tones and used courteous words, if you fed their statements directly into translation software and had them translated into Japanese or Korean, they might even come out as honorific speech.
But...
What they said was anything but polite.
After all, the Player Mutual Aid Society had been the ones to start things off rudely.
Good Night watched the scene, his expression relaxing considerably.
"Xi Ba, Comrades Loquat Candy and Ren Gu still have some fire in them," he said quietly to Lin Yu. "But... was that woman who spoke just now Monica?"
Lin Yu also confirmed the woman's appearance, then nodded. "Yes, that's her."
Faced with Loquat Candy and Ren Gu's response, Monica did not insist further. Instead, she changed to a more roundabout way of putting things.
"Naturally, I trust the Order... Having the Player Mutual Aid Society conduct a self-investigation really isn't a good choice either... It's just that the Chief Commander should probably recuse himself, shouldn't he?"
"He was the last person to come into contact with Iced Americano, and he's also an 'outsider'... Surely you two can't insist that Chief Commander Good Night is above suspicion, can you?"
Hearing this, Good Night laughed. "Xi Ba, of course I can recuse myself—if you want to investigate me, Xi Ba, you're welcome to do so anytime. It'll also clear my name, right?"
Then he turned to Lin Yu and said in a low voice that only Lin Yu could hear, "I Xi Ba understand now why the 'Professor' told you to kill her. This Xi Ba woman is pure Xi Ba evil."
