At this very moment, someone appeared in the bar and sat next to Lin Yu...

This is none other than the current strongest person in the "Psychology Society," the Second Generation President, "Freud."

Skinner sighed, gave Schreiber a look that said, "I told you to leave earlier," and then began preparing the Margarita and Cosmopolitan dishes that Freud had ordered.

However, Lin Yu remained quite calm.

He looked at the Second Generation "Freud" and spoke with some surprise.

"Oh, it seems... you've been waiting for me for a long time, haven't you?"

The Second Generation "Freud" shook his head. "It's not that I came here specifically to wait for you, but I left some 'Soul Power' detection methods here. If you appear, I can come over."

Lin Yu shrugged. "I could have guessed, you must be very busy... But how did you know I'd be here?"

"After noticing your activities in Shenzhen, I observed that 'Skinner' provided some special intelligence. I suspect you may have had some contact, and that's why I set up a presence here," the Second Generation "Freud" adjusted his glasses, his eyes behind the non-prescription lenses remaining as calm as water. "I haven't confirmed that you will definitely appear here; I'm just guessing that you might reappear, so I've simply laid some groundwork."

Lin Yu looked at the Second Generation heir and said, "I see. Well, congratulations then... Congratulations on catching me again. This is a reward for your carefulness and diligence."

Lin Yu raised his hands and said with a smile.

Seeing that the Second Generation Freud still didn't react and was just calmly looking at him, Lin Yu helplessly lowered his hand and said, "If you don't respond to these kinds of jokes, it will make me very embarrassed."

The Second Generation Freud tilted her head slightly, her neatly styled hair, resembling a single piece of black silk, swaying to reveal her left ear adorned with Black Ear Cuff: "While I don't intend to fight you this time, I'm afraid I have no obligation to make you feel comfortable," Schreiber.

Lin Yu pursed his lips and nodded, finishing his cup of Piña Colada in one gulp. "That's true."

"But I'm still quite curious... Last time you seemed eager to kill me or capture me alive, even to search my soul, so why has your attitude or strategy changed this time?"

Lin Yu countered with a question.

This is the main reason why, even after seeing the Second Generation Freud appear, he still did not choose to immediately run away or enter a fighting state.

Because he realized from the beginning that this Second Generation Freud was not trying to capture or kill him.

As she herself put it, she simply has "a lot to say" to "Schreiber" right now.

However, Lin Yu didn't know why the Second Generation Freud did this.

Did the change in her attitude stem from the vague Memory Old Zheng revealed during their time in the Eternal Prison?

But that shouldn't be the case. Clearly, the Second Generation Freud didn't stop there; at most, he just planned to change from elimination to capture alive.

Therefore, Lin Yu decided to ask directly.

The Second Generation Freud listened to Lin Yu's words without holding back.

"Because you convinced me," Schreiber said... "I initially disliked you because I thought you were a fame-seeker, a fake successor coveting the legacy of the First Generation 'Freud.'"

"The reason I wanted to kill you later was because when you killed 'Potassium Chloride,' you said it was a 'Trial'... I felt that you were just using the name of 'Trial' to create meaningless killings, not only killing 'Potassium Chloride,' an excellent Operator, but also desecrating the 'Trial.'"

"In the Eternal Prison, I did indeed act with the mindset that killing you wouldn't matter... but as it turns out, you've changed my mind."

She turned her head to look at the liquor cabinet, the colorful bottles reflected in her glasses. "You brought up many Memory about Mr. Zheng, and at the time I couldn't tell if they were true or false... But after we both left the Eternal Prison, I realized that those Memory probably weren't fabricated or forged by you."

Lin Yu said, "Is that so? But those shouldn't be enough to justify your changes... In fact, although you were shocked at the time, you didn't stop, did you?"

The Second Generation Freud nodded. "That's right. While those things made me realize that you might not be a mere Liar seeking fame and fortune, parading around under the First Generation's name, they weren't enough to make me stop."

"What truly makes me feel that I might be able to sit down and have a talk with you is my recent observation of you," Freud said calmly. "You've been active and scheming in Shenzhen... especially after you probably realized that what's about to happen in Shenzhen is anything but safe for anyone, yet you still haven't left."

"Not only that, you even actively participated in the election of the 'Player Mutual Aid Society,' challenging both 'Order' and 'Marauders'... This made me realize that perhaps you are not what I initially suspected."

"You might actually have been guided and taught by the First Generation 'First Generation Freud'," the Second Generation Freud Freud, resting one hand on the bar and crossing his legs. "It's just that you misunderstood some of his ideas and went astray from his path."

Lin Yu asked, "What, you're not going to avenge the 'Potassium Chloride' incident?"

The Second Generation Freud shook his head. "The Psychology Society has never had the concept of revenge; hatred does not exist within the Psychology Society. Although I still think your 'Trial' of him was Error... I am now certain that you did not kill him under the pretext of 'Trial,' but genuinely believed that you were helping him with the Trial. Naturally, I have no reason to continue targeting you in this regard."

Lin Yu nodded. "It seems my guess was wrong too... At first, I also thought you were an imposter, but as time went on, I also felt that you didn't seem like someone who had nothing to do with Freud... So, seeing that, I decided to test you."

The Second Generation Freud frowned. "Test?"

Lin Yu said, "Yes, it's a test—if you think it's just 'unnecessary to take revenge,' then I can confirm that regardless of whether you've had contact with the teacher, you've definitely not grasped his spirit at all."

"But you can say that 'hatred doesn't exist within the Psychology Society '... I'm somewhat certain that you have indeed inherited some of his ideas."

The Second Generation Freud said proudly, "Of course... I thought you had already observed that."

"After all, I still haven't held those people responsible for the direct cause of the First Generation's death accountable—after all, it was a death that the First Generation himself acknowledged and accepted—he died in his own Trial."

As the Second Generation Freud spoke, Old Zheng's quiet voice echoed in Lin Yu's heart.

"No, boss, I'm not honest."

Lin Yu, however, caught a glimpse into Freud's words and asked with some curiosity, "Those people... who were they?"

"Based on the information I have, there should only be one person who killed the teacher."

The Second Generation Freud whispered, "It seems that although you inherited his legacy, you don't understand the 'Truth'..."

"Do you think it was the 'Diviner' who did it alone? Although the 'Diviner' is at the First Generation of his power now, it was definitely not something he could have done alone back then!"

Even he now... is no good.

"Although the First Generation did not open his own 'Heart Domain' or advance to the 'Tier 4,' it was simply because his 'Heart Domain' was too powerful, thus imposing many restrictions!"

"Moreover, even with his 'Tier 3' status, he is fully capable of contending with 'Tier 4' experts and even Deity."

As Lin Yu listened to the words of the Second Generation Freud, an uncontrollable and heartfelt surprise appeared on his face.

"Really?"

He voiced his doubts... but not the part about questioning Old Zheng's abilities.

Instead...

Why do you think the Diviner is the murderer?

"I thought the killer was 'Fluoxetine'."

As Lin Yu was speaking, the Second Generation Freud said, "Oh, so what you know is not only incomplete, but it's not even the easiest part to understand."

"Admittedly, Fluoxetine was indeed involved; she even believed that she and her friends from the Night Watcher were the final culprits... but she was wrong."

"Fluoxetine, the Diviner, the 'Robin' of the Night Watcher, the island lord of the 6th Island Mist Island Realm, and the God of Oblivion —they are indeed the murderers who killed the First Generation."

"But these people can only be considered accomplices."

Seeing Lin Yu's even more astonished expression, the Second Generation Freud sneered, "Schreiber, it seems you really don't understand the Truth the First Generation's death..."

"Mr. Zheng died because his research on the 'Trial' touched upon the essence of the 'Death game' and violated its taboos. As a result, the will of the 'Death game' stirred the World Will of the Mist Island Realm, issued instructions to the God of Oblivion, and used the shattered 'Destiny' to influence the actions of the 'Diviner' and the Demigod Island Master of the 6th Island of the Mist Island Realm, pushing Mr. Zheng into Desperate Plight. In the end, he was accidentally killed by 'Fluoxetine' and 'Robin'!"

"And I suspect that Mr. Zheng, the First Generation President, had already foreseen all of this!"

"However, he chose to face this challenge head-on... but unfortunately, he ultimately failed."

The Second Generation Freud said, patting the table.

How tragic! How lamentable! How admirable!

"Schreiber, you don't even know these things, how dare you call yourself his successor?!"

Lin Yu listened to the words of the Second Generation Freud, his expression one of shock and speechlessness, as if he had been subjected to a tremendous shock.

"The teacher's death... could there be such a hidden Truth?"

After a long silence, Lin Yu murmured.

At the same time, while reciting Schreiber's lines, he couldn't help but communicate with Old Zheng in his mind.

What exactly is going on with what she's saying?

Old Zheng was also helpless.

"Boss, I already told you last time..."

"She has hysteria."
