Zuo Xi taking a gold pen and shoving a blue folder into Lin Yu's hand, Zuo Xi turned and left the hotel entrance without looking back.

"Although there's already a lot of information, since you've already 'made a wish,' I'll still investigate 'Fluoxetine' further... I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

After leaving those words behind, she rode the damp evening breeze and disappeared into the vast darkness of the Shenzhen, her whereabouts unknown.

Perhaps she went to find "Fluoxetine" immediately, perhaps she went to continue her activities as "Su Muzhe," or perhaps she simply returned to her hotel to read or write...

In short, Lin Yu scanned the area with his Mental Power three times, ruling out the possibility that she had "returned" and continued to "secretly observe him."

Furthermore, he repeatedly scanned and checked the blue folder and the two pens.

Although the golden pen had created some kind of supernatural phenomenon in the air, allowing Zuo Xi "telekinesis," this pen wasn't even a "Item"; it was just an ordinary pen without any Supernatural Power, so there was nothing wrong with it.

The strange phenomenon just now should simply be that Zuo Xi used the pen as a "medium" to exert some kind of Supernatural Power that she herself possessed.

In short, after putting away the folder and pen, Lin Yu entered the hotel.

He took the elevator to his floor and then knocked on the door of the room where he and "Good Night" were.

"Knock knock."

Lin Yu gently knocked on the door, and after a moment, he heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from behind the door.

The footsteps stopped but didn't open the door immediately. Lin Yu could guess that the other person was probably observing and probing him through the door.

Sure enough, a moment later...

Lin Yu heard a "click" sound, and the room door slowly opened a crack.

Captain Good Night's reflective forehead appeared behind the door, and he quickly waved.

"Xi Ba... why did you come back so suddenly? There are so many eyes watching us here!"

"Li Hua said today that someone is watching him and that he needs to reduce the frequency of contact with me... Xi Ba, were you seen on your way here?"

"Don't worry, I've checked, it's fine," Lin Yu said casually. "Although the situation is urgent and there are many people watching... no one has noticed me."

Moreover... he had just found out who was watching Li Hua, so they weren't someone he needed to worry about.

Well, while "Pen Name" is indeed a rather dangerous person in a certain sense, at least in this case in Shenzhen, she shouldn't be considered a "threat".

Not to mention...

After the other party directly provided him with "information" and promised him "three wishes," Lin Yu also felt...

Although her intrusion into his privacy still made him uneasy, this girl... might not be a high-level power that couldn't be utilized.

Certainly...

There was definitely no need to tell "Good Night" and "Gambler" Li Hua these things.

Good Night Ye opened the door a crack wider, and Lin Yu slipped inside.

He looked around and asked, "Where's the Paper Kite?"

Although Lin Yu could clearly sense through his Soul Fragment that "Paper Kite" was lying in the bedroom, he still asked the question.

Good Night didn't think much of it and casually pointed to the bedroom, "Xi Ba is sleeping in there. Playing you seems to have taken a lot of toll on his mental health. He's such an energetic person, but he's clearly a bit Xi Ba today... He's definitely quite tense."

Good Night Ye continued talking incessantly, but Lin Yu still didn't reply.

He knew, of course, that the Paper Kite was tired... and the reason wasn't entirely due to the exhaustion and mental strain of playing herself.

After all, it's impossible for me to forcibly take over "Paper Kite," use his body and soul to perform some Mental Power techniques, and even activate the "Fraudster's " abilities without consuming his energy and soul.

"Since he's tired, let him rest a bit more... Anyway, while I was away today, did anything happen to 'Order'?"

Good Night Lin Yu's question, Xi Ba, you've come to the right person... Quite a few things happened today."

After "Knight" was assigned to the special investigation team by Xi Ba, and "Dionysus" was still recovering from his injuries, "Grandmaster" was basically in charge of the event's operations, while Xi Ba's "Ren Gu" was handling the specific details—with "Grandmaster" backing him up, "Ren Gu" wouldn't waste time with them.

"After the vote count was announced Xi Ba, some members of the 'Player Mutual Aid Society' felt that the vote count for 'Penglai' was unreasonable. 'Ren Gu' immediately used this as an excuse to close the venue, saying they needed to re-verify the vote count, and Xi Ba detained 'Penglai' first."

"Then, under the 'Grandmaster's' instructions, the second Xi Ba of voting adopted a completely new Xi Ba mechanism— the Field Team made a simple Xi Ba device, and each person's vote was changed to a small ball, which was put into the corresponding pipe on stage and fell into an opaque box. The votes were then counted by simply counting the Xi Ba in the box."

"This ensures anonymity while significantly increasing traceability... truly a win-win situation for Xi Ba."

"In short, Penglai's votes have dropped to fourth place in the second round of voting. The new top three are Shang Gen, Monica, and Mikan... Shang Gen and Monica are only Xi Ba votes apart."

"The Grandmaster originally intended to arrest Xi Ba Monica tonight, but the professor stopped him after Ren Gu reported it, because although we knew she was 'colluding with the enemy,' Xi Ba really didn't have any 'evidence,' and doing so would be a huge blow to the credibility of 'Order.'"

As Lin Yu listened to Good Night's report on what had happened inside the venue, he wasn't particularly surprised by the election results. Although there were many "variables," it would have been strange if there were no variables at this point.

The drop in "Penglai's" votes was naturally because "Cold Cicada" had been distracted by their own side...

Although "Monica" has surged to second place in the votes, after learning the true purpose of "The Marauders," Lin Yu now sees this election format as nothing more than a formality that doesn't need to be taken too seriously.

However, Lin Yu did not convey the information he had obtained to Good Night for the time being.

He still caught a glimpse of something that caught his attention and decided to inquire about it first.

"Why hasn't 'Dionysus' recovered yet...? Although she forcibly opened her 'Heart Domain,' with 'Loquat Candy' around, she shouldn't be unable to participate in the election activities right now," Lin Yu said, frowning. "And... is 'Ren Gu' hosting the event alone today? Didn't 'Loquat Candy' come to help?"

These two from South China have been long-term partners, working well together and both are adept at handling such situations. Although "Ren Gu" could handle it on his own, there's no reason to let him shoulder this burden alone.

Good Night began, "Oh, Xi Ba, I forgot to mention... 'Loquat Candy' was transferred away by 'Professor' and 'Secretary' to Xingyi secret mission—even I'm not qualified to know."

"Now, among the people of Xi Ba Shenzhen, or rather within the entire 'Order,' besides the two who transferred him, only the 'Grandmaster' knows what he's going to do in Xi Ba... and the 'Grandmaster' seems to approve of this transfer."

Good Night spoke, Lin Yu fell into even deeper confusion.

"A transfer involving professors and secretaries, approved even by Grandmaster?"

Where is there a greater need for Loquat Candy than in Shenzhen these days?

Although this guy's combat strength might not be crucial, with his recent understanding of Loquat Candy and the attitudes conveyed indirectly by other organizations, Lin Yu has gradually come to understand...

How highly skilled is "Loquat Candy" as a "Doctor"?

This guy's healing skills are so good in battle that even those at the "Tier 4" wouldn't be able to ignore them.

In this kind of large-scale clash between organizations and organizational levels, the role that "Loquat Candy" can play may even surpass that of "Dionysus" or even "Swordsman"!

Only...

The "professor" and the "secretary" couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

Even so, they still chose to move the "Loquat Candy" away... What was their intention?

Lin Yu pondered the matter carefully, silently keeping it in mind.

Then, Good Night's voice came.

"Xi Ba... So, 'Director,' what did you do today? Did you get any Xi Ba valuable intelligence?"

Do you need me to Xi Ba a report for you?

Lin Yu nodded gently upon hearing Good Night's words.

"Captain, I came back because I did indeed uncover some very crucial intelligence..."

"Now that the operation is over, I can report back to the organization what I did... Today, I went to the Prison Mountain Realm with the 'Feng Shui Master,' where we encountered and fought the 'Diviner.' In the end, by joining forces with the 'Feng Shui Master,' we thwarted the 'Diviner's' plot to release 'Demon Ancestor Gantuo' in the Prison Mountain Realm."

"At the same time, during this process, we also encountered 'Cold Cicada,' a member of the 'Penglai' campaign team. He was indeed a collaborator of the 'Diviner,' and through some means of interfering with cognition, he helped 'Penglai' win the first round of votes."

"At the same time, the reason he was able to cooperate with the 'Diviner' was not only because he himself did have some ability, but also because he was able to contact a being codenamed 'Emperor,' whose real identity was a 'Player' from the previous version, who had now gained Authority Becoming a God... In a sense, 'Cold Cicada' was just an intermediary, and that 'Emperor' was the 'Diviner's' true partner."

"Although the 'Feng Shui Master' and I thwarted the 'Diviner's' plot to release the Demon Ancestor,... this was also within the 'Diviner's' calculations—because the 'Emperor' also hoped for the Demon Ancestor's release, so our actions this time completely pushed the 'Emperor' to the 'Diviner's' side..."

Lin Yu spoke rapidly, and "Good Night," having heard this, finally realized what was happening and quickly raised her hands.

"Xi Ba, Xi Ba —slow down! Wait a minute!"

"I'll invite 'Grandmaster' and 'Ren Gu' over Xi Ba, and I'll reconnect 'Professor' and 'Secretary'... You say it again!"

"I, Xi Ba, can't stand hearing about these things all by myself!"
