A signature skill

Faced with the "Diviner's" questions, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

As expected... the "Diviner's" keen insight and difficulty in dealing with him are simply unmatched by any other "Marauders" member.

The excuses that had previously fooled "A'yu" and hadn't raised much suspicion among the other "Marauders" were indeed no match for the "Diviner."

Because this guy is very good at Deception and scheming, he naturally has a suspicious eye.

But thankfully...

Although bringing the identity of "Yayu" into the "Diviner's " view here was unplanned and will cause some trouble.

But it's just troublesome and tricky!

This is not yet Desperate Plight.

After all, no matter how suspicious or intelligent a "Diviner" is, it's impossible for them to guess the Truth hidden behind the "Yayu".

Now, he only realized that "Yayu" was strange.

And...

Although Lin Yu's prepared explanation was somewhat rough, he had not been without considering some "Security Measures".

So he looked up at the "Diviner's" face.

First...

We must not be timid or hesitant.

Secondly, it shouldn't sound like an explanation.

If the beast showed hesitation and spoke in an explanatory manner, it meant that the "Yayu" had heard the "Diviner's " words and its first reaction was that its behavior was "unreasonable."

But in reality, if the "Yayu" didn't find anything suspicious about its actions, then the "Diviner's " questions just now didn't sound like accusations or doubts at all...

Instead, it seemed as if they were curious about the newcomer and were ready to hear more details and offer encouragement.

This is also the clever and insidious aspect of the Diviner's question just now.

Lin Yu maintained his calm demeanor, looking at the Diviner, and said proudly, "This is not difficult at all. Almost all of 'Order's' activities are public. I only need to observe and record normally, and then summarize the patterns based on the observed phenomena. Naturally, this will become part of their action plan and arrangements."

"This isn't much more complicated than observing wild animals... Human social and organizational behaviors are ultimately a form of animal group behavior, just like wildebeest migration or lion pride hunting."

Lin Yu spoke calmly, and the Diviner was somewhat surprised by Lin Yu's answer.

"You mean... you observed and recorded all of this?"

Lin Yu nodded. "Of course... but it also includes some 'interviews' and 'investigations'."

The Diviner adjusted the blindfold. "Interviews and investigations? Shouldn't this generally be called espionage and intelligence trading?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "No, it was just interviews and investigations... It wasn't as secretive or underground as you described. I just found some people coming out of the venue, chatted with them briefly, and that's how I got a lot of information."

The Diviner turned to Lin Yu and said, "It sounds easy, but it's definitely not as simple as just 'having a chat'... As a formal member of the 'Marauders,' how did you get into the vicinity of the venue?"

Lin Yu asked with some curiosity, "Is it that difficult?" The "Player Mutual Aid Society" involves so many people, and "Player" from all over the country and from different organizations are all involved... So, given the mix of all sorts of Player, getting close to the venue is definitely not a difficult task.

"Moreover... I am a 'Tier 1' —and I myself only recently joined the 'Marauders,' so the 'Order' probably has very few records of me."

"Plus, I have some methods for concealing my aura... so it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

As Lin Yu spoke, A'yu listened for a while and finally understood that her subordinate seemed to have gone directly to the vicinity of the election venue to gather information.

"Wow, Yaya, you're amazing! You really went straight to that Convention Center, gathered information, and didn't get caught? That's incredible!"

The Celestial King also gave a thumbs up. "This is truly an amazing achievement. If I had gone, I definitely wouldn't have been able to leave."

Lin Yu sized up the Celestial King, shook his head, and said, "That's because you're too well-known as a 'Tier 4' expert... Moreover, you're probably more memorable than the average 'Tier 4' expert—at least I've seen you today, and I shouldn't forget you."

"Whether it's her clothes, her figure, or her face... it's all too exaggerated, too stunning."

The Celestial King's smile widened, "Oh my, you're so good with words, A'yu. You really found a good one... Even though he looks a bit dim-witted, he speaks so eloquently."

A'yu pouted, "She's just a bit clueless, this isn't flattery... she really likes you."

Lin Yu looked at A'yu: "Similarly, Sister Yu, you're the same—your multicolored hair will be noticed as soon as it appears."

"On the contrary, my biggest advantage over the two of you is... I'm very ordinary—as long as I don't do anything out of the ordinary, I just look like a very common, ordinary 'Player'."

Lin Yu explained it this way, and A'yu and Celestial King seemed to have completely accepted this explanation.

But then Liuli spoke up.

"No... A'yu, your method sounds plausible—but it's far too simplistic."

"You've underestimated the level of 'Order' —the most outrageous thing about 'Order' is their efficiency. Their intelligence sharing and transmission speed is unmatched by any organization except the 'Freedom Alliance,' and the strictness with which they execute their plans is beyond your imagination," Liuli said thoughtfully. "Although you've only recently joined 'The Marauders,' after you've interacted with their people in the Nether Void Realm and demonstrated certain abilities, 'Order' couldn't possibly be completely unprepared and have no record of you."

As Liuli finished speaking, a look of doubt appeared on her face.

"If that's really the case... then we need to reassess the intelligence you brought back. Was it something 'Order' deliberately trying to reveal to us, a deliberate attempt to mislead us?"

Although Liuli had her doubts, as A'yu's subordinate, her position naturally sided with Yayu.

Moreover... precisely because she herself had direct contact with the Yayu many times, Lin Yu's performance had already deeply impressed people's hearts. Therefore, even if she noticed some "suspicious points," Liuli's first suspicion was that the Yayu had been tricked, rather than that the Yayu itself had a problem.

After Liuli raised her concerns, the Diviner also spoke softly.

"I share this concern; perhaps this is itself a conspiracy of 'Order'..."

Lin Yu interrupted the Diviner: "That's certainly a possibility, but I still tend to think... they simply haven't noticed me yet."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and then said, "How about this, you give me a chance to prove myself."

"Close your eyes for now, don't use any sensory means, and then... after one minute, try to find me, okay?"

Liuli frowned. "Are you playing hide-and-seek with us?"

A'yu crossed her arms and said, "Yaya, I don't mind playing with you... but what's the point of doing so?"

"I'm just very confident in my ability to conceal my presence," Lin Yu pondered, then said, "At least, 'Order' hasn't detected me at all."

The Diviner said, "This is interesting... I'll give you two minutes then."

As he spoke, the Diviner tapped his Bamboo Cane lightly, and the entire factory suddenly darkened, visibility became extremely low, and the field of vision was compressed to a few centimeters around the eyes.

At the same time, everyone was also filled with a noisy but not harsh white noise, making it difficult for them to hear the sounds in their environment.

The Diviner clearly agreed to Lin Yu's proposal and immediately began to put it into practice.

And in this darkness...

A'yu, Celestial King, and Liuli waited quietly until the sixty seconds were up.

"Knock knock."

Amidst the darkness and noise, the crisp sound of the Bamboo Cane striking the ground rang out again, and all the darkness instantly receded and dissipated, allowing everyone to see each other and hear the sound once more.

But...

The Yayu had vanished.

The Diviner's spiritual power and the Celestial King's magic silently unfolded, and A'yu and Liuli looked around.

The sound of the Yayu was completely absent from the entire factory—it couldn't even be found around the factory.

A "Tier 1" Player was able to keep out the notice of two "Tier 4" and one "Tier 3" experts.

A look of shock appeared on the Celestial King's face.

"What's going on? Where did this girl named Yayu go?"

The Diviner's True Essence trembled, and his spiritual energy swept back and forth three times, but he found no way out.

As he pondered, he flicked his Right Hand sleeve, and a [Gold Seeker Compass] appeared in his hand.

The Compass needle spun half a circle and then stopped firmly on the right.

"Are you here?"

The Diviner turned his head to the right, and then...

Suddenly, in the Diviner's perception, a "person" appeared—someone he hadn't sensed before—appearing right next to him.

The others also looked in the same direction and spotted the "Yayu".

The girl in the hoodie was standing right next to the Diviner —but for some reason, no one seemed to have noticed her presence at all.

Even after discovering her presence, the group belatedly realized that they seemed to have seen her two or three times already.

But for some reason, I just couldn't find her there!

In those brief few minutes, she probably had a chance to stab the "Diviner" in the back!

Even the Diviner was shocked.

He dropped his gentle expression and began to scrutinize the Yayu intently.

"How did you do that?"

"[Item]? Or... some kind of Supernatural Power from another realm?"

The method that could deceive one's senses was not extraordinary... However, the fact that the Diviner still did not realize the true nature of the method after discovering the other party made him feel uneasy.

After thinking for a moment, he quickly asked.

"Yayu... Have you been to the 'Gray Domain'?"
