Yes, Lin Yu Could Still Eat Two Baskets of Fresh Pork Buns After Having Rice Noodle Rolls for Breakfast
The First Generation "Jung".
Lin Yu could still clearly recall the words Old Zheng spoke when he mentioned his death.
The place of death was deep within the Mist Island Realm, in a place called the "Kingdom of the Dead," a "Illusory Islands" beyond the records of Mist Island.
The time of death was when he was in a [Instance] with Old Zheng.
Cause of death...
According to Old Zheng, they encountered a phenomenon called "Mist Surge".
Within the Mist Surge, turbulent currents formed by massive amounts of Soul Power and Mental Power indiscriminately attack all sentient Living Beings within its coverage area. Furthermore, numerous powerful Soulless Monsters Living Beings on and attack each other within the fog.
Moreover... what impressed Lin Yu most about this Memory was that he had raised the question at the time, "Could it be that the First Generation 'Jung' did not die?"
But Old Zheng's answer at the time was very certain—he was absolutely convinced that the First Generation "Jung" was dead.
Old Zheng's reasoning was that if the "First Generation" Jung were truly resurrected and able to operate in reality, he would certainly not remain anonymous but would return to the "Psychology Society" in a high-profile manner.
Although Lin Yu found it a bit strange at the time, he didn't feel the need to investigate the matter thoroughly, so he simply chose to believe Old Zheng and didn't pursue it further.
Now it seems...
Although Old Zheng may not have lied at the time, he did conceal something.
The part he's hiding is... the reason he's so "certain" about the death of the First Generation "Jung" might be because he needs the First Generation "Jung" to have actually died in that [Instance].
In this light, Old Zheng's statement, "If he hadn't died, he certainly wouldn't have gone into hiding but would have returned to the 'Psychology Society' in a high-profile manner," might have another hidden meaning...
"If the First Generation 'Jung' hadn't died, he would definitely have come back in a big way to seek Revenge on me."
Lin Yu pondered and gradually figured out the reason why Old Zheng had kept it a secret.
"I think I understand."
He spoke softly, without pressing further.
This surprised Old Zheng.
"Boss... why don't you keep asking?"
Lin Yu shrugged. "There's no need. Since you hid it back then, it means you didn't want to talk about it..."
"Knowing about your feud with the First Generation 'Jung' is of no use to me... at most it just satisfies my curiosity."
"I'm telling you all this just to remind you... Well, if I had to say, there is something I want to ask, but it's about the abilities of the First Generation 'Jung' or something like that."
"Given his current stance, he's very likely to become my adversary... Hmm, I'll kill him."
"But there's no rush. I can ask you after I meet him," Lin Yu paused slightly, then looked at Old Zheng and asked, "However... Old Zheng, do you need me to spare his life, or leave him for you to deal with?"
Old Zheng rejected the suggestion. "No need... absolutely no need. Boss, if you want to kill him, just kill him."
"Anyway... thank you, boss, for respecting my privacy this time."
Lin Yu said helplessly, "What do you mean by 'this time'... What are you subtly mocking me for, or are you subconsciously expressing your dissatisfaction with me?"
As Lin Yu was speaking, Old Zheng realized his mistake and said, "It was my fault for wording, boss."
"Alright, go teach them about Mental Power. Just teach them some basic skills... Oh, and if the teaching goes smoothly, you can also see if you can learn some of the God of Desire's Divine Art."
As Lin Yu spoke, he tossed Old Zheng back to the bedside table and released the other Summoned Creature as well.
He lay flat on the hotel bed, reached out and turned off all the lights, then began to practice the techniques from the Prison Mountain Realm.
A moment later, Lin Yu turned to look at Old Zheng was gleaming with a faint light.
"Could you turn the brightness down a bit? Do you have a night light mode?"
After thinking for a moment, Old Zheng said, "How about you grant me the authority to reshape my body, boss? If I stay inside the cranial cavity, you won't be able to see any light, right?"
"That's true."
As Lin Yu spoke, he took out the [Ancient Notebook] and placed it under Old Zheng, then continued to try to fall asleep while circulating his cultivation technique.
At five o'clock in the morning, the default ringtone on his phone rang, and Lin Yu, who hadn't slept for long, instantly woke up and sat up in bed.
Teaching Old Zheng the techniques for quickly mastering Mental Power and learning the Desire Divine Art was clearly a huge drain on him. Lin Yu sensed that Old Zheng was now almost in a state of depletion, slumped on the chair beside the bed. Hannah, on the other hand, also seemed to be depleted, lying motionless on the table, muttering to herself.
"Croak... Concentrating your spirit and then releasing it outward is 'Mental Scan'; releasing your spirit and then concentrating it again is 'Mental Shock'; only releasing without concentrating is 'Thought Interference'; only concentrating without releasing is 'Soul Self-Check'..."
Only the God of Desire, trapped inside the water sphere, appeared relatively composed.
Old Zheng, watching Lin Yu begin washing up, also raised his hand. "Boss, Hannah and Desire have already learned them. Zhu Qiansi is still on vacation and hasn't contacted me. I've sent some documents online to Stiller and Xiao Qin so they can study on their own first... Judging from Stiller's feedback, he's grasping them quite quickly."
Old Zheng reported the progress listlessly, and Lin Yu tossed him the [Three-Scoop Ice Cream Box].
"You and Hannah replenish your supplies and rest here... I'll summon you again if I need to use you later."
With that, Lin Yu collected [Azure Sea Sky Dome] and the God of Desire inside, then walked out of the hotel.
After ordering rice noodle rolls for breakfast from a nearby stall, Lin Yu took out his phone and sent a message to "A'yu" using the account "Yayu Yu".
"I've located the 'Feng Shui Master,' and I'm keeping an eye on him."
After sending this message, Lin Yu then opened his [Socializing] account and sent a message to Jian Cunyi.
"Brother Jian, it seems the 'Diviner' will begin his operation today."
Although "A'yu" hasn't replied yet, Jian Cunyi replied almost instantly.
"I also sensed that he was going to make a move today. I've arrived near the venue and am hiding on the top floor of an office building opposite the Convention Center. I'll make my move if necessary."
"Alright, I feel much more at ease with you here, but Brother Jian, the 'Diviner' may very well be trying to eliminate you this time. Although you also possess the [Fragment of Fate], he might harbor intentions to harm your soul, so please be careful."
After Lin Yu sent the message, Jian Cunyi's reply was also very brief.
"Rest assured."
After negotiating with Jian Cunyi and pinpointing his location, Lin Yu temporarily adjusted the virtual location of "Yayu" in his mind to that office building.
Afterwards, Lin Yu finished the rice noodle roll, bought a bottle of mineral water at the convenience store, and then...
In the Shenzhen, he adjusted his appearance to match the first character he was to appear in.
Schreiber.
He changed into the same white lab coat and shirt as Old Zheng, and wore gold-rimmed glasses, and slowly walked towards the Convention Center.
Although it was early morning, the sky was still dim due to the impending landfall of the Typhoon. What rose from the sea in the southern bay area of Shenzhen was not the rising sun, but large swaths of damp and gloomy rain clouds.
The wind howled through the Street, and the branches and leaves rustled against each other, making a sound like animals running.
A few scattered raindrops, barely worthy of being called rain, were already mixed with the wind and hit Lin Yu's glasses with a "smack".
Lin Yu could sense that as he got to within two kilometers of the Convention Center, he was being watched by hidden eyes.
That was the "Order" Field Team —although the "Director" had immunity, "Schreiber" clearly did not.
But at this critical juncture, "Schreiber" suddenly approached the Convention Center... "Order," having received a warning from Lin Yu that "The Marauders" would be making a big move today, was unsure how to handle the situation.
"Considering that the actual command on site should be in the hands of 'Ren Gu', the order given by 'Ren Gu' will likely be 'maintain observation,' since his decision-making has always prioritized 'efficiency' and 'stability.'"
"And so... the first batch of 'audience members' took their seats as promised."
"But... the quantity is still not enough."
Lin Yu continued to stroll leisurely down the street as "Schreiber," dressed in a white coat like a clinic Doctor taking an early morning walk to work.
Lin Yu stopped at the Traffic Light intersection...
Sure enough, the "Marauders '" informants arrived.
She was even someone she had met once before—in a Business Car across the street, a young woman with dyed blue hair slowed down, stopped in front of the vehicle making a U-turn, and glanced at her.
"'Li Zi'... Although he's only 'Tier 2,' he seems to be a direct subordinate of 'The Diviner.' Sure enough, after his appearance yesterday, even though 'The Diviner' outwardly agreed to cooperate with me, he wouldn't actually underestimate me or truly allow the identity of 'Schreiber' to operate freely—once he discovers my whereabouts, he will definitely monitor me."
"Very good, the second group of audience members are now seated..."
So perhaps it's time to call in supporting actors to join the cast.
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then took out his phone and found Skinner's contact information in Schreiber's address book.
"Tell your President I'm waiting for her at this breakfast stall [location address]."
After sending the message, Lin Yu also went to the new breakfast shop and sat down near the entrance.
Most of the customers in this shop are office workers buying things to take away, but there's also a table of customers sitting inside slowly eating their food.
Lin Yu looked at the menu on the wall and called out to the busy owner behind him to take his order.
"Boss, two baskets of pork xiaolongbao, one tea egg, one bowl of black rice porridge, and one bowl of unsweetened soy milk, please."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, the boss's strong voice came from inside.
"Okay, that's seventeen yuan and fifty cents in total. There's a QR code on the table, scan it yourself."
And when Lin Yu scanned the code to pay...
A surprised voice came from behind him.
"Huh?" Schreiber?
Following that surprised sound, an even more surprised sound rang out.
"Schreiber?... It really is Schreiber!"
The only customers at the restaurant, two girls eating steamed buns, turned around and saw two familiar faces—two guys who had also met "Schreiber" Lin Yu.
"Willow" and "Kwai".
