Investigation and seizure

Deep underground, in a cave, the entrance to the underground water system that had been sealed off had been opened, and an inflatable speedboat was moored there.

The Raccoon in the cave were rapidly dismantling the Alchemical Equipment into various parts and piling them on the kayak.

As the kayak sank deeper into the water, the Raccoon sitting below blew a sharp whistle.

"Call out--!"

With a sharp whistle, two Raccoon jumped onto the dinghy above, and with the roar of the engine, the dinghy sailed away along the underground river.

The entire underground cave has now been almost completely emptied. The fitness equipment, guns, and targets have all disappeared, and the large Alchemical Equipment that is difficult to disassemble has also been transported away. Only a few pieces remain in the corner, waiting to be disassembled and transported away.

Above the cave, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot took the pen from her mouth and drew a row of checkmarks on the list in her hand.

"Very good, very good... Only one ship left— Pipi, schedule the next one to come over."

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot spoke, the round Raccoon under her feet stood up, babbling incoherently and gesturing with its hands, like a rapper going on stage for a competition.

Qin Siyu, who had participated in dismantling the alchemy facilities, watched this scene with some curiosity.

"What is it saying?"

Looking at Qin Siyu, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot looked at him and said, "He said the ship will arrive soon, but there's a problem with unloading. The Warehouse isn't big enough to accommodate three Alchemical Equipment side by side, so they're coordinating to turn one rack around. That's why the cargo is temporarily stuck on the ship."

Qin Siyu was even more shocked. "Wow, these little gadgets... how did you train them?"

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot shook her head. "I didn't train them. I just enlightened their Wisdom and then became their friend."

Qin Siyu gave a thumbs up. "Truly amazing... If I had had so many assistants back in the Prison Mountain Realm, I can't imagine how many more earth-shattering cases I could have solved!"

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot pouted. "Right? These Raccoon are clearly very powerful... I was just about to trade them for Doppelganger One and Doppelganger Two over there, but Arthur was very resistant."

Although Lin Yu never mentioned his code name in this realm, Qin Siyu could confirm, through the context and Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, that Doppelganger One and Doppelganger Two referred to Old Zheng and Schreiber respectively, while Arthur referred to Lin Yu himself.

After establishing the correspondence in his mind, Qin Siyu sighed.

"I think this deal is a great deal. I really don't know why you wouldn't agree, senior."

Lin Yu, standing beside the two, sighed.

"Please stop talking about these things as if I don't exist, okay? It's not that I don't want to exchange them because I think it's 'not worth it,' but because I simply cannot accept trading Wisdom life."

"In the end, Qin Siyu, you're clearly in the same situation as Old Zheng and Stiller. Do you really want me to be the kind of person who'll sell you off once you're no longer of value?"

Qin Siyu shook her head upon hearing Lin Yu's words. "Then I still don't want that. I understand now that you've said it, senior..."

Qin Siyu paused for a moment, then added, "But what you just said about selling me is rather subtle... um, a bit strange!"

Hearing Qin Siyu's meaningful words, Lin Yu said helplessly, "What are you thinking now? There's nothing subtle or strange about it, okay? Only you would find it strange!"

Seeing Lin Yu's helpless expression, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey, I think I've discovered your weakness, Arthur —you don't seem to be very good at dealing with Miss. I feel like her remarks make you less than composed."

"I'll also try loading Miss's language module."

Lin Yu looked at Nightless Sky Fire Apricot and shook his head. "You can't do what she does so naturally. Every word she says is a natural expression of her true feelings."

"Besides, I don't think you can say those things out loud right now."

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot nodded. "That's true... It seems that Miss and I have to learn more than just lock picking."

"And her art of speaking—I should also study that carefully."

Lin Yu sighed softly when he heard what Nightless Sky Fire Apricot said.

"You should learn something good!"

"What's wrong with that?" Qin Siyu protested. "I don't think there's anything wrong with the way I talk."

Faced with Qin Siyu's protest, Lin Yu thought for a moment and ultimately did not continue arguing with Qin Siyu, but simply nodded.

"You're right, I misspoke."

During a break in their conversation, Pipi, who had been fiddling with the Communicator at his feet, suddenly jumped up and started yelling.

"Wow!"

It gestured in front of the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, who nodded repeatedly, her expression growing increasingly solemn.

"Um, um... I understand."

Lin Yu looked at Nightless Sky Fire Apricot's expression and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"We've run into some trouble... A lot of the Security Bureau personnel suddenly showed up outside our Warehouse for a spot check, saying they suspect we're smuggling substandard products and scrap from the Three Great Corporations to Commoner in the Outer City," Nightless Sky Fire Apricot said with a headache. "Although we definitely don't have a mole among us, the timing of the Security Bureau's visit is so clever... Someone must know our movements and want to use this to hinder us!"

Lin Yu's expression turned serious upon hearing this. "So fast... that guy definitely seems to be very well-informed."

"However, since the Security Bureau surrounded your Warehouse instead of this place, it means the person who reported you might not know what we were moving... So, we still have a chance to salvage the situation."

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot nodded. "That's right, now we need to move everything to my other warehouse—including all the substandard products and scrap piled up Warehouse... Just to be on the safe side, I'll move them directly to the Great Wilderness base."

Upon hearing Nightless Sky Fire Apricot's latest words, Lin Yu was stunned for a moment.

"So there really are substandard products? I thought this was just a pretext for the search and a 'framing'."

As Lin Yu spoke, the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot spread out its hands.

"Arthur, you really don't understand the scope of my business Outer City... This is one of the pillars of my business as the 'Fairy Queen'."

"However, this also reflects that... the person who reported me is not only well-informed, but also has a certain understanding of my strategic layout in the Outer City."
