Order: Monica might not be with the Marauders. Lin Yu: I wouldn't be so sure

After saying goodbye to "Mikan", Lin Yu arrived at the first floor of the Convention Center lobby.

Meeting one of the top candidates for this "Player Mutual Aid Society" was not part of Lin Yu's plan.

If it were the usual Lin Yu, he would definitely have been able to detect and sense Mikan's presence before she entered the stairwell, thus allowing him to deal with her more calmly or even avoid her altogether.

However, Lin Yu's perception in most situations now relies on "Mental Power," and his ability to sense things in advance is also based on the premise that his "Mental Power" is fully deployed.

Most of the time, Lin Yu keeps his Mental Power constantly active.

But when playing the role of "Yayu"...

Lin Yu tries to avoid using his Mental Power unless absolutely necessary.

After all, the identities of "Director" and "Zhu Ming" can be explained, even if they involve the use of Mental Power, in a roundabout way.

The identity of "Yayu" is basically unrelated to Mental Power.

Although if it really comes down to it, Lin Yu certainly wouldn't completely abandon the "Yayu" character just to stick to its original setting, since the final interpretation of the character is still in his hands... At worst, he can just create another setting for "Yayu".

However, unless absolutely necessary... it's best to avoid doing things that could create "loopholes".

Just like with the "Paper Kite" earlier, he had a way to resolve the Paper Kite more gently without hurting either side.

But in the end, Lin Yu still chose a fighting style of trading injury for injury.

"Although encountering 'Mikan' was unexpected, this guy has a certain fondness for 'Yayu,' so it can be considered a blessing in disguise. Perhaps this will be the key to expanding his interpersonal relationships under the identity of 'Yayu,'" Lin Yu pondered. "Maybe it will become a point that can be used in this operation..."

"But anyway, let's pretend we didn't run into her and proceed according to the original plan."

Thinking of this, Lin Yu pushed open the door to the first floor.

Admittedly, the character "Yayu" seems reckless and impulsive, but she is definitely not the type to act without a "plan".

On the contrary, in Lin Yu's understanding, although the Yayu has a simple and crude style of doing things, it is also the type that will make complete preparations before taking action.

Therefore, for the "Yayu," the mission to infiltrate the "International Convention Center" and create "chaos" still has a clear and "executable plan."

After pushing open the door, Lin Yu saw that Venue the International Convention Center, there were still many volunteers from the "Player Mutual Aid Society" and the "Order" Internal Team busy at work.

However, what they did was... sabotage.

Disassemble the booths of each candidate and the main booth, and then pack them up.

Seeing this, Lin Yu was somewhat certain...

"Order" does indeed intend to interrupt this election.

The information he provided did indeed earn the trust of "Order".

At the same time, "Ren Gu" is also very decisive... It seems that even with a "Grandmaster" present, he probably faced a lot of pressure when he gave this order to the "Player Mutual Aid Society".

After all, "Mikan" is already considered quite moderate and aligned with the "Order" faction; she couldn't help but complain about the decision in the stairwell just now...

The other candidates and the higher-ups of the "Player Mutual Aid Society" certainly wouldn't agree with this decision.

In fact, what Mikan just said probably reflects the mainstream thoughts of many members of the "Player Mutual Aid Society"...

"Since a 'Grandmaster' is here, what is there to be afraid of?"

But...

This mindset is undoubtedly advantageous for Lin Yu.

At least for the identity of "Yayu", the greater the difference between the "Order's" instructions and the expectations of the "Player Mutual Aid Society" members, the more convenient his actions become!

At this moment, although all the booths in the venue are being dismantled, the volunteers from the "Player Mutual Aid Society" are very inefficient precisely because they don't understand the instructions!

The pace of clearing up each booth was completely different, and the staffing was also somewhat chaotic.

Meanwhile, in order to guard against the potential threat of the "Marauders," the "Order's" focus and attention are entirely on the Field Team!

Therefore, the person in charge of on-site command and coordination is located in the exhibition hall on the first floor of this venue...

Even a "Good Night"!

Of course, Lin Yu knew that the captain of "Good Night" wasn't actually that bad.

However, as an "on-site commander," he was really not good at this kind of work.

Although that guy was diligently and conscientiously standing high on the stairs, overseeing the entire scene and constantly directing and supervising the progress of the Internal Team, without playing on his phone or slacking off, he was indeed playing his due role...

However, Good Night couldn't discover that someone had secretly infiltrated the venue.

Lin Yu's clothes had dried considerably by now, so as he walked through the venue, no one noticed his sudden appearance.

The members of "Order" only thought she was from "Player Mutual Aid Society," while the members of "Player Mutual Aid Society" thought she was either from "Order" or "Night Watcher."

Lin Yu walked straight through the venue and went directly to a booth.

That booth...

This is the "Monica" booth.

This is also the candidate who is almost openly associated with the "Marauders"—if there were more substantial evidence and her influence was not insignificant, the "Order" would have already arrested her and thrown her into the Eternal Prison.

Of course, Lin Yu later learned through further information that the most important reason was that "Order" was a very rigorous organization. Although both the "Professor" and the "Secretary" believed that there was an 80% or higher chance that she was a Partner of "The Marauders," it was precisely because there was still a 20% chance that she was not that she had to be treated with even greater caution.

Even knowing that "Monica" is closer to the "Marauders," the extent of that closeness is still debatable.

What if it's just a regular, temporary partnership? What if we can try to negotiate?

The higher-ups of "Order" were also generally aware of the "Final Trial" to some extent, so they hoped to minimize the reduction of the overall strength of the "Player".

But Lin Yu knew better than the entire "Order" organization whether "Monica" was a card of the "Marauders" and how close she was to the "Marauders".

This is not because Lin Yu is smarter or has a more advanced intelligence network than the entire "Order" organization.

It's simply because he does possess a unique advantage.

Because he can view not only the information on "Order," but also the information on "Marauders"!

Through information from the "Marauders," Lin Yu was able to confirm that "Monica" was indeed a deep Partner of the "Marauders"—at least the entire "Marauders" organization had a high degree of trust in "Monica."

It's like comparing CIA and FBI reports to KGB reports indicating someone is Soviet Union spy – which is more accurate?

Therefore, Lin Yu could be completely certain that "Monica" was almost a staunch Partner of "The Marauders," and he deployed his actions based on this understanding.

Just like now, Lin Yu could simply pat a core member of the "Monica" campaign team on the shoulder near the booth.

"Hello."

Lin Yu looked at the other person, meeting their confused gaze, and said, "I'm looking for 'Monica'."

Monica is certainly not here.

But Lin Yu believed that this member would definitely take him to find her.

Sure enough, after scrutinizing Lin Yu for a moment, the member spoke in a low voice.

"... Come with me."

He turned and led Lin Yu quickly to the second-floor lounge, opening the door to the room where Monica was.

There, Lin Yu saw Monica again—this bespectacled woman who looked like a pragmatist was sitting in a chair with a Notebook on her lap, constantly typing on the keyboard.

"Boss, there's a new face who specifically asked for you," the campaign team member said, knocking on the doorframe. "I've brought her over."

As he spoke, the campaign team members stepped aside and closed the lounge door again.

Only Lin Yu and Monica remained in the lounge.

Monica slammed Notebook laptop shut, looked up, and seemed somewhat surprised.

So you are...?

She looked Lin Yu up and down and asked a question.

Lin Yu said in a low voice, "Yayu."

He paused for a moment, then said, "You actually know me, don't you?"

Monica nodded upon hearing Lin Yu's words. "Yes, that's right... You've been making quite a splash lately, it's impossible not to know you."

"I've always valued information and intelligence; I believe it's the most important thing for a 'Player' to survive... Hmm, but how did you know I know you?"

Lin Yu said in a low voice, "Smell and feeling... It's actually quite strange that you see a stranger specifically asking for you, but you don't feel any alertness."

"Because of your status, you should be wary of everyone who approaches you and whose background you don't know... Besides, most strangers who see me, especially 'Player,' are always very suspicious of me."

"But you didn't... explain that you actually knew I was someone you could 'trust'."

Monica laughed, "What a clever girl! I really have to congratulate 'A'yu' on finding another great helper..."

So, did "A'yu" send you, or... someone else?

As Monica spoke, Lin Yu whispered, "No, it wasn't me. I came here on my own... However, I got his permission and was granted the right to move freely."

Monica pushed up her glasses. "No need to be so vague. Who gave you permission?"

"Brother Jing."

Lin Yu said calmly.

He didn't directly reveal his title as a "Diviner"... This can be considered a form of screening and testing.

Moreover, he also wanted Monica to understand that he was "assessing" her position.

Monica pushed up her glasses again. "So it was specially approved by him. In that case, you're no different from an imperial envoy or special commissioner to me... I'll have to cooperate with you properly."
