After being identified as the Second Generation "Freud," Old Zheng was clearly greatly shocked.

This is indeed a fact he is unwilling to face.

Although Old Zheng just said that the transformation of "Fluorvosamine" into the Second Generation "Freud" is a "good change," this is just self-deception.

Admittedly, judging from the current situation, that "Fluorvosamine" has indeed become more refined and Leng Jing, and has read a lot of books. As a "Player," his strength has also reached the fifth rank on the Rankings, "Tier 4"...

From an objective standpoint, it can be considered an "improvement" no matter how you look at it.

But Old Zheng, as her "Psychologist," is actually incapable of thinking this way.

After all, no matter what... this transformation has one major premise:

Now it has become the Second Generation "Freud" with "Fluorvosamine," which clearly indicates that his mental state is not very healthy.

Her blind worship and attachment to the "deceased First Generation Freud," namely Old Zheng, has indeed reached a level close to "hysteria."

The "Psychology Society" under her leadership also struck Old Zheng as extremely extreme.

However, Lin Yu believed that although Old Zheng seemed greatly shocked, he probably didn't need any guidance.

Not to mention...

Now that he has inherited Old Zheng's legacy and created the identity of "Schreiber," he will indeed, in his upcoming actions in Shenzhen,... correct the "Psychology Society" and correct the Second Generation "Freud."

Although the actions of the "Schreiber" identity ultimately serve the other identities, Lin Yu will likely try his best to ensure that the "Schreiber" identity also achieves its phased goals while ensuring that his true goals are achieved.

Therefore, Lin Yu didn't offer excessive comfort to Old Zheng, but simply left him to process things within the [Ancient Notebook] before leaving the [Ancient Notebook] again.

Lin Yu put away the [Ancient Notebook] and rubbed his face.

"It's about time we went back to 'Order'."

Even though "Paper Kite" is still pretending to be a "Director," he doesn't have to go back.

But another whole day had passed, and Lin Yu felt it was time to go back and see what changes had occurred on the "Order" side.

And...

His and Jian Cunyi's actions, as well as the new intelligence they obtained from the "Marauders," would ultimately have to be reported to "Order."

After all, they couldn't just watch "Order" be completely unprepared for the impending schemes of the "Emperor" and the "Diviner," could they?

Lin Yu didn't want to see "Grandmaster" and "Tengshe" —Tier 4 experts who were clearly of great use to him—fall in Shenzhen.

Although he himself also possesses the identity of "Yayu," which is associated with "Marauders"...

However, Lin Yu absolutely does not want to see the "Diviner" and "Marauders" dominate the market and control the discourse among the "Player".

In particular, the "Diviner's " partners were the "Copper Furnace" and the "emperor."

Furthermore, after negotiating with the Second Generation "Freud" and confirming that the murderer who killed the "Iced Americano" group while impersonating "Schreiber" was not the work of the "Psychology Society"...

Lin Yu also needs to reinvestigate who this Impostor really is.

Under the cover of night, Lin Yu scanned a shared bicycle on the street and slowly rode it, organizing his thoughts as he approached the International Convention Center.

After confirming with the location of the Mental Power Seed that "Paper Kite" was indeed in the hotel, Lin Yu made no attempt to conceal his face. After all, the closer he got to the Convention Center, the more "Order" members were nearby, and using the identity of "Director" would save him a lot of trouble.

Certainly...

It will also cause trouble.

Just as Lin Yu had neatly parked the shared bicycle at the roadside return point and was about to walk the last few dozen meters into the hotel...

A rustling sound came from above the Street Trees next to the parking spot.

"Hello."

A voice called out, and Lin Yu looked up to see a girl wearing a beige trench coat and a royal blue sweater sitting on a thick branch inside the dense canopy of Camphor Tree.

She looked down at Lin Yu, her thick, fluffy hair almost blending into the dark Camphor Tree leaves under the night sky, her long boots swaying in the wind, making her look like a large, relaxed cat.

Lin Yu recognized the other person.

"Teacher with Pen Name... what a refined taste."

Looking at the other person's lazy demeanor and bright eyes, Lin Yu sighed and spoke.

The girl shook her head. "It's 'Su Muzhe'."

The Pen Name, or rather the current "Su Muzhe," was corrected.

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then casually replied, "Okay, Zuo Xi."

The Pen Name blinked, shrugged, and said, "Never mind... do as you please, Lin Yu."

After exchanging their real names, Lin Yu put one hand in his pocket.

So... aren't you hot?

Although the Typhoon is expected to make landfall in a few days, and the evenings in Shenzhen are now damp and cool, this is still midsummer in Guangdong Province —in short, it's definitely not a season suitable for wearing long coats, sweaters, and boots.

"Thank you for your concern, but I'm physically weak, and this outfit is just right for me to wear out at night," the Pen Name said, pausing for a moment, "So, where have you been in the middle of the night?"

"I'm afraid I have no obligation to tell you," Lin Yu declined the Pen Name's inquiry. "I'd like to ask, what were you doing up in the tree in the middle of the night?"

The Pen Name unzipped his trench coat and pulled out a bundle of hemp rope. "I'm going to get some fresh air, and if I'm in the mood, I'll hang myself here, adding even more suspense to this already perplexing case."

Lin Yu was stunned, then said, "What refined taste... So, what's your real purpose?"

The Pen Name pointed to a window with the light on but the curtains drawn. "The real purpose, of course, is to observe you... Hmm, but now it seems that the person in that room isn't you, but... 'Paper Kite'?"

"You can even fake soul fluctuations and mental fluctuations; you almost fooled me—thankfully, I've been observing you quite closely."

Hearing the Pen Name's nonchalant words, a Killing Intent silently welled up in Lin Yu's heart.

Although he really wanted to kill this stalker "Writer" Miss, after all, Lin Yu believed that this girl's obsession and spying would definitely bring him a lot of trouble...

But those were just Lin Yu's speculations and "opinions" before.

But now, the other party has indeed brought real threats and trouble to her—she saw through "Paper Kite's" disguise and was even lying in wait at the hotel entrance.

"Once the 'Marauders' begin their operation and Shenzhen descends into chaos, perhaps I can use one of 'Yayu' or 'Schreiber' to try and kill her... Without affecting my overall strategy, this matter could perhaps be given higher priority."

Lin Yu thought this to himself, but on the surface he remained somewhat calm.

"Oh, it's no wonder you noticed... but why are you staring at me like that? Don't you have anything else to do?"

"What could be a higher priority than investigating you?" the Pen Name said matter-of-factly. "Of course I want to know what you actually did after you had 'Paper Kite' impersonate you..."

"Furthermore, even if I don't use a 'Pen Name' but rather 'Su Muzhe,' I am currently a member of the special investigation team established by 'Order,' investigating the Murder Case that have occurred in the 'Player Mutual Aid Society' under the orders of 'Grandmaster' —your behavior is so suspicious, of course I need to pay attention."

The Pen Name said earnestly.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "Are you doubting me?"

The Pen Name nodded and answered very frankly, "Of course, because wasn't 'Yu Linling' killed by 'Paper Kite'? And you provided 'Paper Kite' with a lot of convenience... Well, even if you weren't the mastermind who instigated it, you were at least an accomplice, right?"

Listening to the Pen Name's words, Lin Yu was surprised that this "Writer" had actually uncovered some things.

However, he neither admitted nor denied it.

"In that case, you should present this part of the report to the 'Grandmaster' and the 'Order'."

The Pen Name laughed upon hearing Lin Yu's words.

"I was just kidding, I'm not really 'Su Muzhe'... How could I possibly work wholeheartedly for 'Order'?"

"I won't report this... To be honest, I'm not very interested in finding out the Truth."

"To be honest, this special investigation team established by 'Order' shouldn't have produced any results in the first place... 'Knight,' 'Seagull,' 'Xi Chen'... God, I can't even say which of these three is the dumbest."

"The only one in this investigation team who's even remotely 'smart' is a guy with a dual identity, harboring ulterior motives and malicious intent."

Lin Yu said Pen Name calmly, then sighed.

"Who would admit to having ulterior motives or harboring sinister intentions..."

The Pen Name frankly stated, "Because it's true. Since joining the investigation team, I've been doing more harm than good, providing the Error direction... Now 'Knight' has gone to investigate 'Mikan,' 'Seagull' is tailing 'Order's' Field Team, and 'Xi Chen'... that guy has simply gone to the sewers to look for 'clues.'"

At this point, even the Pen Name couldn't help but show a slight smile on his face.

"So, they're really not suited for 'investigative' work..."

Lin Yu sighed, "I did expect this... So, what are you planning to do?"

"Will you continue to create chaos and mislead the 'Order,' leaving this investigation team with nothing?"

Lin Yu Pen Name as he spoke.

"Yes... but I didn't do it for fun or anything like that. I don't find this kind of thing interesting—I'm not that kind of person."

Lin Yu looked at the Pen Name: "So, what are you doing this for?"

The Pen Name spoke up, "I think this situation is more advantageous for you, isn't it?"

Lin Yu said in a low voice, "How could that be? I definitely hope that 'Order' can investigate the Truth as soon as possible."

"No, you just want to know the Truth, and it would be best if you could know it through 'Order,' but... if only you know the 'Truth' and 'Order' doesn't, wouldn't that be more advantageous for you...?"

Pen Name spoke, he stood up from the tree, a kind and friendly smile on his face.

"And while I was preventing them and other members of 'Order,' including those 'Gambler' lurking in the shadows, from investigating the Truth..."

"I myself am now aware of the full picture of the 'Player Mutual Aid Society' Murder Case."

"Thank me, Director —this was made for you."
