As soon as Old Zheng finished speaking, he immediately sensed...

What his boss told him to say was very dangerous!

From a rational perspective, this is an act of exposing the true nature of the "Marauders".

He had just faced the "Diviner" with Lin Yu in the Prison Mountain Realm, and knew that the "Diviner" had fought Jian Cunyi in the Prison Mountain Realm. Then, he was tricked by his own boss, which not only ruined his arrangements in the Prison Mountain Realm, but also put him in a very bad state.

This refers not only to the physical injury that caused him to lose his sight, but also to the physical strain inflicted on him as a "Diviner".

Plotting to release the Demon Ancestor "Gan Duo", confronting the "Heavenly Dao" of the Prison Mountain Realm, using Destiny to manipulate Authority, and keeping the "Heart Domain" open for an extended period...

If we go back even further in time, the "Diviner" still entrusted a Deity within the Eternal Prison to ambush and test Lin Yu, and used [Dragon-Trapping] and the Divine Kingdom left behind by the God of Storm and Ocean to trap "Grandmaster" Gu Mo.

Whether as a former "Tier 3" peak expert who was very close to unlocking the "Heart Domain" state, or as the Founder the "Psychology Society" that focuses on studying the ability mechanics of "Player," Old Zheng can be quite certain...

The current state of "Diviner" can definitely be described as "severely exhausted".

Therefore, when Lin Yu pointed out that "the 'Marauders' might actually be unable to contact the 'Diviner' now..."

Old Zheng realized that this was very likely the "fact" and the "current situation".

"Celestial King" and "A'yu" didn't intentionally avoid introducing themselves to the "Diviner," but rather... it's very likely that they can't do it right now.

And if this is true...

The "Marauders" have already amassed more than half their forces in Shenzhen and established such a large operation. At this critical juncture, if the "Diviner" loses contact with the others...

Furthermore, the "Grandmaster" from the "Order" side have already been mobilized here.

That is very likely "information that absolutely cannot be leaked".

Especially since... he himself, as "Schreiber," was standing within the "Marauders '" stronghold!

In other words, from the perspective of the "Marauders," his saying this now is tantamount to knowing an extremely dangerous secret!

If this were someone with an affinity for "Order" and the "Night Watcher," the "Celestial King" would probably have already taken action!

But then again...

Schreiber's knowledge of this "intelligence" didn't seem to be of much benefit to the "Marauders."

After all, this is a madman who, although not a member of the "Psychology Society," is more like a core member of the "Psychology Society"!

Who knows if he'll suddenly broadcast this fact over the loudspeaker the next second, then smile and leave with a "Please prepare for your Trial" before running away?

The reason why "Celestial King" hasn't directly taken action to pin "Schreiber" to the ground yet is largely because when Old Zheng was reciting Lin Yu's lines, he also very timely expressed the view that "I want to help you" rather than "Trial".

Even so, Old Zheng could still feel that he was locked in by the magic power surrounding him.

"The Celestial King's" voice rang out. "You seem to be very well-informed, Schreiber... Although I don't know how you found out about this, don't misunderstand."

"We can't contact the 'Diviner' anymore, but this wasn't an 'accident'... it was something the Diviner had instructed us to do beforehand."

"He will travel to the Ten Realms to undertake a major task, and during that time..."

Old Zheng spoke up, interrupting the Celestial King at Lin Yu's behest.

"No need to be so vague, I'm more well-informed than you think... He's in the Prison Mountain Realm."

"I know what he's planning and preparing, you don't need to hide it from me... Seriously, you can't be unaware, can you?"

A'yu said coldly, "Of course we know. Stop playing games, Schreiber. If you know what Brother Zhan is doing, just say it directly—this ambiguity makes me think you're trying to trick us!"

"I don't need to trick you into revealing anything. I know he went to the Prison Mountain Realm to release a terrifying being, a monstrous Yaomo comparable to a 'Dao Ancestor,' and he also reached some kind of deal with it. Although I don't know the specifics, is this 'information' enough?"

Old Zheng spoke slowly and deliberately.

The Celestial King narrowed his eyes. "Wow, it really wasn't just bluffing..."

"You may be a bit ugly and a bit sleazy, but... you're actually kind of interesting."

Old Zheng was suddenly attacked by the Celestial King's attack on his appearance—although he was now "Schreiber," "Schreiber" basically shared the same face as Zheng Jianshen, so he subconsciously touched his face, feeling quite shocked.

"What... Ugly... Sleazy? Why would you say that..."

Old Zheng muttered to himself in shock.

The Celestial King scoffed, "You shameless idiot, look at your dark circles! That's a sign of all that staying up late... While your features and face shape might not be exactly ugly, neglecting your health and staying up late will make your skin look terrible. That's the beginning of 'ugliness'—maybe your Profession forces you to stay up late, but you're not even willing to put on some concealer. It's truly disheartening."

"Also, your fashion sense is terrible—I've never understood why you guys wear 'white lab coats,' not even the Second Generation 'Freud.' What's the point of wearing this kind of 'Profession attire' outside of work? It's so tacky and unattractive. If you need similar items, you could consider a long white trench coat from HERMES or something else... Just wearing a white lab coat is the dumbest thing I can imagine."

"Even if you absolutely have to wear it, your silk shirt underneath is awful. White already brightens up the skin, but you chose a contrasting, reflective inner layer, which only makes your unhealthy skin tone look like a dead person... The straight-leg sweatpants and sneakers are suffocating, my God... I don't even know what you're shocked about after I called you ugly and sleazy—you're standing there right now, even with your head drooping and shoulders sloping!"

Upon hearing the Celestial King's words, Old Zheng couldn't help but straighten his back and raise his head slightly.

Lin Yu's voice rang out helplessly.

"What are you doing, Old Zheng... You're actually listening to the 'Celestial King' explain fashion tips, aren't you!"

Meanwhile, the Celestial King, caught up in the conversation, continued speaking.

"While it's true that not many 'Player' have good taste in clothing or a high aesthetic sense, someone as unkempt as you is truly disheartening... Sigh, to be honest, the only guy I've seen lately who seems even remotely human is actually the 'Director' of 'Order'... He's naturally good-looking, and not only that, he doesn't waste his looks; his skincare and physique seem top-notch, and even his everyday outfits are carefully chosen..."

At this point, the Celestial King rubbed his temples. "But I heard he found a girlfriend from the 'Freedom Alliance,' someone who's also a member of the 'Psychology Society' and loves wearing white coats... Where did the 'Psychology Society' get so many white coats? Is there something wrong with Old Grave?"

Liuli spoke softly, "Celestial King Majesty, it seems the First Generation 'Freud' liked to wear it, and then the current President and the Second Generation imitated it... so everyone inside is imitating it."

"This 'Schreiber' who claims to be the successor of the First Generation 'Freud' is probably just imitating him."

Upon hearing this, the Celestial King's brow relaxed. "So it really is a problem with the old tomb. Since you were imitating, I won't blame you... It's just that the First Generation 'Freud' had such terrible taste in clothes and such poor aesthetic sense that he ruined everything for you."

I forgive you.

Hearing the words of comfort from the Celestial King to "Schreiber," Old Zheng's mood did not ease at all; on the contrary, it became even heavier.

He said helplessly, "Can we get back to the main topic?"

After saying that, Old Zheng paused for a moment, then continued, "However, I must clarify that the 'Director' of 'Order' and the 'Beast Master' of 'Freedom Alliance' are not in a romantic relationship."

The Celestial King crossed his arms and said, "What do you know, you ugly man? Not only is your fashion sense terrible, but your information network is also terrible... Although it seems impressive that you know the Diviner's movements, the fact that you can say the 'Director' and the 'Beast Master' aren't a couple shows that your intelligence network is only so-so."

Old Zheng continued, "Is it possible that I'm the only one who's right?"

"What do you know? I saw it in the forum newsletter I bought before. Someone posted an analysis that the two are living together," Celestial King sneered. "It was Lucky Dog who posted it—do you think you know more about this kind of gossip than 'Sherlock'? Besides, we all know he's the 'Director's' good brother!"

A'yu nodded and said, "That's right, and it's said that they've already met each other's parents, and both sets of parents are very satisfied. The people in the 'Freedom Alliance' are also very satisfied with the 'Director' as the partner of another member of the organization after 'Citalopram.' They're a perfect couple."

Liuli chimed in, "The version I heard is that they've already gotten their marriage certificate, and the 'Director' got it done through connections with 'Order'."

"Huh? Really? Liuli, why didn't you tell me this interesting gossip!"

The Celestial King burst into laughter. "Did you hear that, Schreiber? They've already registered their marriage—you filthy worm, you're just jealous of their good looks and talented couple!"

Listening to the three "Marauders" speaking continuously, Old Zheng was actually quite alright, and even felt that he could tolerate the parts of the attacks he was being made against.

He looked at his boss.

Lin Yu, who was playing the role of "Yayu", was deep in thought at this moment.

How did this news even reach the "Marauders"?

"Will this ever end?!"
