Action Begins, the Commission to Solve the Puzzle

Lin Yu ultimately chose not to solve the mystery directly in front of Li Hua.

On the one hand, Lin Yu felt that there were many talented people in the "Order" field, and although time was not particularly abundant, deciphering this sentence should not be too difficult.

On the other hand...

If "Order" truly seeks stability and is eager to solve the "location," then this puzzle...

It will probably end up in their own hands through other channels.

At this moment, Li Hua had already skipped the "puzzle" and began to temporarily assign tasks to each team.

"In short, we've temporarily split into six 'teams' to patrol six districts in Jiang City..."

"During this period, the local organization 'Jiang'an Hall' in Jiang City will assist us..."

"Once the locations are confirmed... your squads' task is to control the main roads leading to those locations and prevent unauthorized personnel and Player with malicious intentions from approaching the target areas."

"However, if you encounter Player you can't defeat, you can let them pass, and even prioritize saving your own lives—this time in Jiang City, there might be many 'monsters' present!"

"Your task is simply to stop those low-level, or even non-level-up, Player are too foolish to notice."

After Li Hua finished speaking, he distributed a set of [Cognitive Disturbance Generator] to each team leader.

Then, everyone was given a small brooch.

"This is the [Item: Soul Spirit Gold Brooch]. It ensures that we can communicate with each other in real time in various situations, and it doesn't require any extra operations. You can activate it simply by reciting its name. It's a bit easier to use than a mobile phone."

"I will use these to inform you of the specific location at that time."

"At the same time, it also has the functions of precise positioning and monitoring vital signs... If you are in danger, your captain and even I can receive an alarm and rush to your aid immediately."

"Meeting adjourned. Let's begin!"

Li Hua adjusted his glasses, turned and left the private room, announcing the official start of the operation!

The three "Order" squads from Jiang City immediately stood up and, with practiced discipline, followed Li Hua out of the private room and headed to their respective areas of responsibility.

The remaining three seconded captains were not in a hurry to set off—although these three squads had one more person than the "Order" direct units, they were, after all, temporarily assembled.

The jurisdictions they were assigned to were not very large, nor were they important areas.

In addition, the three team leaders also need to let their respective team members get to know each other.

Gao Shan cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, everyone, you should all know me quite well, so I won't introduce myself as the team leader!"

Let me introduce you all.

As he spoke, Gao Shan introduced the other five people.

Lin Yu listened attentively to the introduction.

Besides him, the other four were also "Tier 1", most of them being veteran Player had experienced more than twenty Instance.

The Profession are "security guard", "Police", "Corporate Slave", and "mailman".

Lin Yu hadn't heard of their IDs before, but when they heard Lin Yu's nickname "May May," they were all somewhat taken aback.

"Oh, this is that 'Doctor' who's been all the rage on the forum lately..."

"Brother May seems to be a local from Jiang City, so we'll have to rely on you a lot!"

The group quickly warmed up to each other, and the atmosphere within the team was quite harmonious—after all, they were people brought in by Gao Shan, the captain of "Order."

There was no situation where they disliked each other.

Moreover, the team members are all young and middle-aged men in their twenties to thirties.

It seems that Gao Shan had intentionally screened the objective conditions of the members of his temporary team.

Realizing this, Lin Yu brought it up directly.

"Brother Shan, why is our team all adult men? Is there some reason for that?"

The other two temporary squads next to them, along with the previous three "Order" squads, were all mixed-gender teams.

Gao Shan touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

However, the other young "Police" in the team, who was somewhat dark-skinned and had the forum ID "Reed," laughed.

He probably knew Gao Shan earlier and they were quite familiar with each other because of his Profession.

"Hey, you guys don't know this... Brother Shan came to Jiang City this time under the pretense of a business trip with his wife, because she wants to check up on him."

"His wife is very fierce, and Brother Shan is henpecked, so how could he dare to recruit any women into the team!"

The forum user with the ID "Yu Province Dan Wang), nicknamed "The Postman," also joked.

"I've known Brother Shan for two months, and this is the first time I've ever heard that he's afraid of his wife!"

Gao Shan coughed lightly.

"Ahem, Dan Wang, this isn't called being afraid of your wife."

"There are no men who are afraid of their wives, only men who love their wives!"

"Don't pry into my family affairs, let's go!"

Gao Shan got up and walked straight out of the restaurant, with the others following him with smiles on their faces.

After this little incident, the atmosphere within the team became even more harmonious.

After I went outside, there was a Jiang City Express van parked at the entrance.

Dan Wang, the "postman," opened the car door and explained.

"Due to limited space, this is the only type of place we can rent for now. Please make do with this!"

Several people squeezed into the van, with the "postman" in charge of driving.

Based on his demeanor and the ID "Dan Wang," Lin Yu concluded that this "postman" probably did similar work in real life.

The Profession in the Death game do not correspond exactly to reality; for example, "postman"... many "delivery drivers" and "couriers" would be categorized as such.

The car started smoothly, and Lin Yu sat alone in the last row, fiddling with his phone with an air of "keep away."

Certainly...

Unbeknownst to everyone, the phone Lin Yu was fiddling with was not the same one he had been using before.

On the phone belonging to "Zhu Ming," there was a new message from Li Nian.

Are you interested in solving puzzles?

Upon seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"Is my puzzle really that difficult? Why haven't I solved it here either...?"

As for the "Marauders," Lin Yu also took a quick look during his busy schedule. A'yu's post hadn't been taken down yet, or at least it wasn't completely resolved.

Lin Yu had no connections with the "Player Mutual Aid Society" or the "Night Watcher".

However, if these two families were to solve the problem, they would likely exchange information with "Order".

Lin Yu's thoughts raced as he edited a message and replied to Li Nian.

What are the benefits?

"Once you unravel it, the 'Magician' will owe you a favor—regardless of whether you ultimately join the organization or not, he can repay it."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Deal made. The puzzle has been sent."

Subsequently, Lin Yu unsurprisingly saw the "riddle" he had presented again from Li Nian.
