Zhu Ming: Jung, you've already cried from frustration

"Beep--beep--beep--"

"The doors are about to close. Passengers, please stay away from the doors to avoid being pinched."

The voice announcement and the alarm for closing the doors sounded simultaneously, and the empty subway train started moving again.

Clearly, the First Generation "Jung" did not choose to "run away".

He remained seated in the priority seat, calmly gazing at "Zhu Ming".

Lin Yu looked at the motionless First Generation Jung and crossed his arms again.

"Interesting, you didn't run away?"

The First Generation Jung said, "Ha... because I still have questions to ask, and so do you."

"I am... curious... why are you revealing your hand now?"

Lin Yu nodded. "Because you asked me a question—so of course I'll answer truthfully, otherwise it wouldn't be meaningful, would it?"

The First Generation Jung nodded. "Heh... heh... that's right, it's like this..."

"So... heh... my next question is... heh, is the 'Authority' you've chosen for yourself 'Destiny'?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu asked, "Hmm... then my question is, you've already completed the assassination of 'Iced Americano,' yet you're still lingering in this 'Shenzhen.' What are you planning to do?"

You answer first.

As Lin Yu spoke, the First Generation Jung slowly nodded. "Heh... I'm staying here... of course, because... heh, my mission isn't finished yet..."

"The Emperor also hopes that I... heh... help him find out... what the 'Diviner'... has arranged..."

Lin Yu was surprised. "Oh, interesting... So the cooperation between the 'Emperor' and the 'Diviner' wasn't so close after all? They each had their own ulterior motives... That's not hard to imagine."

"However, it seems your influence within the 'Copper Furnace' is more significant than I anticipated... They seem to have a high level of trust in you."

The First Generation Jung ignored Lin Yu's interruption and continued, "Of course... heh... I want to... heh... stay in Shenzhen... this is a good opportunity... to do some things I want to do, hiss heh."

Lin Yu nodded when he heard what the First Generation Jung said.

"Oh, you still have some thoughts on the Second Generation 'Freud'? You're really brave... She's a genuine 'Tier 4' now."

The First Generation Jung looked at Lin Yu: "Answer... well... the question."

"Rest assured, I have no intention of backing out... The 'Authority' I've chosen is not 'Destiny,' and I have no intention of reshaping Destiny —frankly, I'm even inclined to prevent all of this from happening."

The First Generation Jung shook his head. "The reshaping of Destiny... ah... is inevitable... and necessary..."

"Alright... our next question... time is short... now I want to know... among your... hmm... [Summoned Creature]... who has mastered... Mental Power... hmm."

Upon hearing this question, Lin Yu said in a low voice, "This is a very valuable question... I can't think of any other question I want to ask that's of equal value..."

Jung looked at Lin Yu: "Heh... in that case... you can ask a few more... heh, I'll judge."

"You're quite kind; it seems you really want to know the answer to this question," Lin Yu laughed. "Well then... I'll ask two."

"The first question is about the arrangement of the 'Diviner.' What did you find out from your investigation?"

"The second question... what happened to you in the Mist Island Realm that allowed you to 'come back to life' after being ambushed by 'Freud'?"

Lin Yu asked, then continued, "If I asked you one of those two questions, would you accept it?"

The First Generation Jung nodded. "Okay... well, because... it really isn't important."

"The Diviner's ' arrangements within the Shenzhen... ah... I haven't finished investigating. I only know... underground, along... the pipelines... there are many hidden... silent nodes of Supernatural Power..."

Even if it's just for... to receive the "emperor"... wow... the scale is a bit... ridiculously large...

"Perhaps this is what the 'Emperor' was worried about... Perhaps the 'Diviner'... also harbored thoughts of plotting against him... Ha... The 'Diviner' is capable of such a thing."

"More importantly... heh... if you try to sense those powers... heh... you'll feel... that they simultaneously possess... the characteristics of different Supernatural System in the world—heh... spiritual power, magical power, and sorcery... all mixed together."

The First Generation Jung paused, then said, "Heh, heh... Regarding the first question, that's all I've investigated."

"As for the second question... well... you already know the answer... don't you?"

The First Generation Jung spoke slowly, "It is... 'the Soul Authority,' ha... Although that guy 'Freud'... used the 'Mist Surge in the Kingdom of the Dead' to frame me, ha, ha... but, when my soul was almost annihilated... ha... I faced death and lived... merging myself into the Authority the 'soul'..."

"Now... I am bound to the Authority of the 'soul'... Heh... That's why... Heh, heh... Perhaps 'Fluorvosamine' is now 'Tier 4'... but in the 'Soul Authority'... I still hold the dominant position."

"Ha--I can already be considered... half a 'God of Souls'!"

First Generation Jung spoke, Lin Yu clapped his hands gently.

Wow, that's amazing.

This is indeed a "deed" to be proud of.

The First Generation Jung stared at Lin Yu: "Now... heh... it's your turn!"

Lin Yu laughed, "You actually expected this, right? The fact that you asked this question... means you still have a connection with 'Fluoxetine'."

"She's seen the 'Director' call 'someone' out, and combined with my earlier admission that the 'Director' and I can share [Item]... So, you've realized something you don't want to admit."

As Lin Yu spoke, the First Generation Jung remained silent.

"Yes, the 'Freud' and 'Schreiber' you saw before were illusions and deceptions, but that doesn't mean... 'Freud,' the First Generation 'Freud,' wasn't alive," Lin Yu said, a faint smile playing on his lips. "You went to the 36th Island, and you thought the 'Diviner' destroyed them... but you may have forgotten, or you may not even know, that before the 'Diviner' destroyed the 36th Island, the 'Director' was also there—back then, he was called 'May May.'"

"Back then, I used his influence... to give the First Generation 'Freud' a chance to live—which is why I've been asking you so much about him."

Lin Yu clapped his hands gently.

"Smack!"

The subway was plunged into complete darkness once again. In this silent darkness, Zhu Ming's leisurely, gentle voice rang out, his tone both playful and arrogant.

"As a master, of course you should know the past of your capable assistant and important servant."

"Freud... come and see your old friend."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the lights in the subway turned on again.

Behind Lin Yu stood a man in a white coat, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, his head bowed.

Unlike all the previous "illusions," this newly appeared figure possessed tangible Mental Power and soul fluctuations—in the perception of a master like the First Generation Jung, who was adept at using Soul Power, it could be determined almost instantly... This time it was definitely not an "illusion."

It can't even be called a "Doppelganger," because the other party's mental fluctuations are extremely strong and active, and its soul is completely intact.

Not only complete, but also familiar.

The First Generation Jung stood up absentmindedly, and then his breathing became more violent than ever before, like an old car that was about to be scrapped with the accelerator floored, and his lungs and throat making a noisy sound like an engine that was about to explode.

"Hoo... hiss... hoo... hiss... Zheng Jianshen... you despicable coward... hoo!"

The First Generation Jung clutched his throat, his eyes bloodshot. "You've become like this just to survive... hah... hah... idiot! Fool! You should... hah, hiss, hah... you should know better than anyone that living like this is meaningless!"

"You short-sighted bastard... Attending Peking University and studying abroad won't change the fact that you're a poor, stinking sewer rat, a dead dog from a fourth-tier city, a county town, a rural-urban fringe area! You're good for nothing except exam-oriented education!"

"Heh, heh... I've been completely fooled by you... You scum, you idiot... Was everything you said just to get attention? You're a left-behind child from a single-parent family... Are you spouting those righteous words because you're starved for love? How pathetic! Your adoptive mother doesn't care about you either, right? Heh... Ouch!"

"Ha... you're more pathetic than those idiots! You know what's 'right,' but... ha... you don't, you don't even have the courage to stand up for what's 'right.' You're too insecure! You're too pathetic! You're too pitiful!"

The First Generation Jung cursed, but the more he cursed, the more he realized something was wrong...

Standing opposite him, "Freud" showed no reaction and no change in his mental state.

His soul was whole... but not vibrant.

The First Generation Jung looked at Lin Yu, Lin Yu shrugged. "As you can see, he... currently lacks 'self-awareness'."

"What a pity, he won't be able to hear your analysis; your criticism was quite insightful."

As Lin Yu spoke, the First Generation Jung paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, ho... Hahaha, hiss... Ha... ho!"

For the first time, an almost exaggerated smile appeared on his face. He clutched his stomach and laughed literally, almost gasping for breath after every laugh, but he still couldn't stop his wild laughter.

The First Generation Jung laughed the whole time, laughing so hard he could hardly breathe, his face turning red, his eyes getting wet, and he almost dropped his handbag two or three times.

"Serves you right! Hah... Haha! Zheng Jianshen... You deserve to end up like this! Hah! Hahaha!"

The laughter and gloating mockery of the First Generation Jung echoed in the carriage, and then...

"Whoosh! Bang!"

Thousands of soul tentacles, like ferocious beasts pouncing on their prey, rushed towards Lin Yu.

After these soul tentacles that nearly burst the entire carriage, the First Generation Jung's eye bulged, and blood flowed from his scarlet eyeball.

"Hiss... Hah-- 'Beast Master'... Hah... I'm going to kill you!"
