Reinforcements fished in

To be fair, this wasn't the first time Lin Yu had seen "himself".

Lin Yu had encountered this situation so many times that he could even categorize it.

He had seen "himself" three times before.

I saw "Lin Yu" twice, and he was the one who appeared to be "Lin Yu".

Once again, he met "Zhu Ming" in the guise of "Lin Yu".

However, those two instances of "Lin Yu" were not his real self; they were respectively the Crow God and Xiao Yuan in disguise.

On the contrary, the "Zhu Ming" was actually "himself," which sometimes made Lin Yu sigh that Destiny had a certain "dark humor."

And this is the fourth time I've encountered this situation...

This is a completely new situation, entirely different from the previous three.

He met Lin Yu in the guise of "Zhu Ming".

However, this was actually the time when Lin Yu felt the least nervous...

Because this time... Lin Yu knew perfectly well who the real identity was behind that "Lin Yu" face on the other side.

"Paper Kite".

After all, the idea of having "Paper Kite" impersonate the "Director" was even proposed by Lin Yu himself.

But that doesn't mean the situation isn't troublesome.

Even if you know someone inside and out... figuring out how to interact with "Paper Kite," who's posing as the "Director," is a challenge.

And this might be quite difficult for the "Paper Kite" on the other side... as well.

Logically speaking, "Order" shouldn't have assigned "Director," the current deputy commander of Shenzhen, to the Pure Ruins...

"Paper Kite" should not have accepted such an appointment and assignment—he absolutely had the right to refuse.

Therefore, Lin Yu was even a little curious about what exactly happened to "Order" that would lead to such personnel adjustments.

But once you're out there, you can easily find out by using your "Director" status to inquire.

The optimal solution right now is definitely...

Leave.

It wasn't just to avoid contact with the "Director" disguised as "Paper Kite" and to prevent "Paper Kite" from revealing his true identity.

At the same time...

The "Swordsman" is a "Tier 4" character, and his addition will inevitably make the battle here more chaotic and out of control.

And the guy behind the "Knight"... not only did "Fishing Man" Chen Le not recognize him, but even Lin Yu himself didn't recognize him.

The sudden appearance of a mysterious expert from the "Order" faction is an unknown variable.

This made Lin Yu even more convinced that this place was not a place to stay for long.

Therefore, Lin Yu looked at the "Fishing Man".

"Now that you're almost ready and the Reinforcements from 'Order' have arrived, can we start preparing to move?"

Chen Le looked at Lin Yu: "I have no objection... but, don't you really need to say hello or something?"

"With 'Dionysus' in our hands, 'Knight' are unlikely to act rashly, and 'Swordsman' is a very easy-going fellow; their primary target will most likely be 'Celestial King' rather than us."

You have every opportunity to... say something.

Lin Yu glanced in the direction of the four "Order" members from afar, then shook his head.

"Never mind, it's not very convenient."

"Neither he nor I are in a rush—staying here puts me in a difficult position, he in a difficult position... and even you in a difficult position."

Chen Le smiled and said, "I'm actually fine."

Lin Yu rolled his eyes at Chen Le, then bent down and gently patted Yin Lan's cheek, while a weak Mental Power was also injected into Yin Lan's body.

Under the influence of Mental Power, Yin Lan, whose condition had stabilized, was awakened by Lin Yu and opened her eyes somewhat groggily.

"... Zhu Ming?"

Lin Yu pulled Yin Lan up and looked at her, who seemed to be half-asleep or half-lying on the ground rubbing her head after waking up from a hangover, and said.

"The Reinforcements for 'Order' have arrived; 'Fishing Man' and I are leaving."

"The 'Celestial King' is still locked in battle with the Chosen of God... I rescued you from the heart of the conflict, you're welcome."

Yin Lan was still not fully awake; she was only vaguely listening to Lin Yu's words, trying to understand the general meaning, and nodded in a subconscious response.

"Thanks."

Yin Lan said.

But then, Yin Lan realized what was going on.

"Wait... wait!"

As she spoke, Lin Yu waved his hand.

See you later.

Then...

Lin Yu and Chen Le disappeared from the spot.

Yin Lan got up from the ground and watched the two figures disappear, her expression somewhat complicated.

The tall "Knight" appeared beside Yin Lan after she stood up.

"I smell alcohol... Did you forcefully open your 'Heart Domain'?"

How are you doing right now?

Yin Lan shook her head vigorously, as if trying to shake off the dizziness, pain, and vertigo in her head.

"I'm fine... Those two guys from the Freedom Alliance saved my life."

The Knight was somewhat shocked upon hearing Yin Lan's words.

"So those two from the 'Freedom Alliance,' were they with you?"

"Otherwise what? Am I supposed to play both 'Fishing Man' and 'Celestial King' at the same time?" Yin Lan said irritably. "I'd be dead by now..."

The Knight spoke up, "Isn't there still a Chosen of God fighting the 'Celestial King'...?"

"But since they were just temporarily working with you, why are they running away now?"

"They probably saw you were coming and were worried you wouldn't continue the cooperation," Yin Lan said. "Of course... it's also possible they're plotting something."

What are they plotting?

The Knight asked, puzzled.

Yin Lan nodded. "Yeah, just a bit of my gut feeling... but there's nothing to worry about."

As she spoke, Yin Lan looked at the "Swordsman" who had already joined the battle, and the person following behind the "Swordsman".

The "Swordsman" lived up to his name, possessing a heroic physique and dressed like an ancient knight-errant, wearing Bamboo Hat and carrying a sword.

The other person was a girl who looked quite young.

"After all... both 'The Swordsman' and 'A Nian' are here, so there's nothing to worry about, whether it's the 'Marauders' or the 'Freedom Alliance'."

Near the Museum, Lin Yu and Chen Le reappeared.

Just as Lin Yu had predicted...

After the Banquet Hall descended into chaos, most of the Octopus retreated to their shelters, while the stronger Octopus rushed to the Banquet Hall to provide cover. This was originally Museum with guards on duty...

At this moment, the protective measures naturally become ineffective.

These Octopus are all very strong. The Octopus clan is not a race that has become strong simply because it is attached to "Ka," the Chosen of God, and because it benefits from the light of the Chosen of God.

However, it is precisely because of this strength that these Octopus make mistakes and oversights in many things.

Like right now... This Museum is clearly very important, but it has entered a state of complete vulnerability.

One reason is that these Octopus Values different from ordinary people and may genuinely not realize the value of the exhibits in this Museum.

On the other hand... these Octopus probably never considered that anyone would dare to attack this Museum, nor have they ever encountered a situation where chaos broke out in their territory and they were attacked.

Even powerful groups and individuals can make mistakes when faced with unexpected situations they haven't considered or practiced.

Lin Yu and Chen Le walked into the Museum with Hannah almost without any hindrance.

Upon seeing three of the Nine Treasures again, Lin Yu lit up with eager anticipation.

"Now it seems that even if we just take it, there won't be any problem, right?"

However, Chen Le shook his head again upon hearing Lin Yu's words.

"Let's forget it... Don't forget our original goal—we not only want to take these three things away, but also ensure that Kallman has absolutely no suspicion of us afterward."

"Let's continue with the procedures—prudence is the most important thing."

As Chen Le spoke, he took out the [Super Fishing Rod] and then looked at Lin Yu.

"Oh right... I still don't know. What exactly is the purpose of that 'Pure Ruins Native' you had me target? They're not even a member of the Middle Sea, are they?"

"Judging from the feel of his movements after I locked onto him, he doesn't seem to be a very strong opponent."

Lin Yu shrugged. "Just reel him in and bring him over... You'll understand why once he gets here."

Chen Le nodded.

"Okay--but I must remind you, this [Super Fishing Rod] also has a cooldown and a limited number of uses... I hope that guy really got his money's worth--after all, this could have been a chance to catch Old Wu or Uncle Zhuo."

Despite this, Chen Le did not hesitate for a moment and immediately began to lift the rod and reel in the line.

Soon...

The fishing line, which had drifted away to who-knows-where, was slowly reeled in, and a faintly visible float gradually approached from afar.

At last...

"Whoosh!"

Chen Le suddenly lifted the pole with one hand, and then with his other hand he reached forward with the landing net, and a human figure appeared out of thin air in the net.

A middle-aged man with grayish skin and a scholarly air, resembling Sea People, appeared, but he was wearing a magnificent, dark blue "Sea Demon Governor" uniform with a scale-like texture.

After the middle-aged man appeared, Lin Yu reached out and straightened Hannah on his shoulder, then waved to him.

"Yo, Sea Eye Venerable."

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Yu, his gaze sweeping over her figure. Half a second later, he greeted her warmly, as if he really knew "Zhu Ming".

"We meet again... I didn't expect you to actually have a way to drag me to the Middle Sea in an instant."

"I suddenly felt someone pull me... I thought I was being attacked."

Lin Yu looked at Sea Eye Venerable and laughed.

"Given your current status, prestige, and reputation... would anyone really dare to attack you?"

Sea Eye Venerable laughed as well, "Of course... after all, we're at war right now, and I'm in the front-line command post."

"There are definitely many people in this world who want me dead... even within the Sea Demons alone, the number of Sea Demons who want me dead probably exceeds... this number."

Sea Eye Venerable raised his hand and spread his five fingers.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "Five? Who are they? How about I help you deal with them?"

Sea Eye Venerable sighed, "No, it's five figures."
