You had it easy. I even know a guy who didn't recognize the future Chosen of Wisdom

Methods of creating Hallucination?

Upon hearing the Adventurer's words, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot looked at Lin Yu with some surprise, and the two exchanged glances.

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot's expression clearly misled the Adventurer.

"It's true... Although I know this sounds like I'm making excuses for myself, I really did see some 'Hallucination' just now, I was trapped in some kind of illusion," the Adventurer said anxiously, "I'm not lying to you!"

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot raised her hand.

"Don't get excited, buddy... I believe you—or rather, we've actually seen this kind of tactic before."

The Adventurer Leng Jing down after hearing what Nightless Sky Fire Apricot said.

"You just saw... What does this mean? You were also attacked by people who possess this ability to create Hallucination?"

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot shook her head.

"No, we didn't... You should tell him."

Lin Yu picked up where Nightless Sky Fire Apricot was going to leave off, saying, "It's like this... The reason we were able to meet is because we're investigating the case of 'Dark Rock's' death."

"But to be more precise... we're not actually that interested in the death of Supervisor Tennyson of the Divine Power Group, also known as 'Dark Rock.' As employees of Truth Company, we're more concerned about the 'murderer' who's currently on the surface—our President, His Excellency Paris."

"And according to our investigation, President Paris... does indeed appear to have orchestrated the deaths of the two individuals."

"However, the reason he took action... was because he too had fallen into 'some kind of Hallucination '."

"In that Hallucination, he mistakenly believed that Supervisor Tennyson and another person present, the second son of the Rainbowlight Family, were the ones who attacked him first."

"So... that's why he was forced to fight back and accidentally killed two people."

"And according to my verification, this is not President Paris's excuse, but rather his genuine experience."

At this point, Lin Yu paused for a moment. "So, although in the Alchemy of the City That Never City That Never Sleeps, there has never been a method that could directly weave illusions for people, at least not a method that could instantly generate illusions during battle... but that's all in the past."

"We can now conclude that this method is not nonexistent, but rather extremely rare."

"At the same time, as my understanding of Supervisor Tennyson, also known as 'Dark Rock,' deepened, I also had reasonable grounds to suspect... that Supervisor Tennyson was also experiencing some kind of Hallucination at the time."

"Otherwise, this doesn't explain why he died at the hands of President Paris —although Dark Rock was in charge of logistics and equipment manufacturing in your team, he wasn't a character without Combat Power."

"On the contrary, his past military service actually made him very good at fighting."

"But he was killed by Paris, who was in a 'Hallucination'... This is too abnormal— Adventurer, as Partner of 'Dark Rock,' you should have more right to say this than we do."

The Adventurer nodded. "That's right... this matter is indeed very strange..."

"That's why Candle immediately sent me to check on things when he heard you guys got Dark Rock's equipment—he must be quite confused about Dark Rock's death too."

Lin Yu sighed, "That's right—it means that there is indeed a hidden force in this City That Never Sleeps, targeting and hunting you Remnants of 'Supreme Evolution'... or rather, they aren't even interested in the seemingly active forces outside; they're targeting you, the core team still serving the 'Creator'."

"And this force possesses an ability to create Hallucination that we have never seen before."

"I initially thought their target was 'Paris'... but now it seems that framing Paris might be one of their objectives, but more importantly, it's aimed at you!"

As Lin Yu spoke, the Adventurer also spoke seriously.

"Dude... what you're saying sounds like it's really true..."

"Looks like we've really gotten ourselves into trouble—sorry, I probably don't have time for small talk with you guys, I need to talk to the others about this as soon as possible."

With that, the Adventurer prepared to retreat once again.

Lin Yu stared at him. "I don't think it's a good choice for you to be alone right now—that person fled immediately after the failed attack. What do you think the probability is that he will target you again if you're alone now, Adventurer?"

"Therefore... I recommend that you formally cooperate with us—I believe we can protect your rights."

The Adventurer hesitated upon hearing Lin Yu's words.

"Is that so? But that's not something I can decide... I can't personally commit to cooperating with your organization..."

Lin Yu interrupted him, "Then the question comes back to what we were talking about earlier... You can introduce us to someone who can make decisions—even if you can't contact the 'Creator,' you can take us to see 'Mr. Candle' first."

The Adventurer still hesitated upon hearing Lin Yu's words.

"This..."

"If you want us to escort you to a safe place... your destination is most likely to be to meet up with him, right?" Lin Yu said calmly, "So, in any case, we might know his current location, and I don't think Mr. Candle would mind."

As he spoke, Lin Yu paused for a moment, and before the Adventurer could come up with an answer, he threw out another suggestion.

"Besides... we're not unaware of 'Mr. Candle's' true identity—you know about the 'Fairy Queen,' but we know about 'Mr. Candle' just as well."

"He is Lord Omia Bosen... right?"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the Adventurer was completely stunned.

"Holy crap... how did you guys know?"

Lin Yu shrugged. "How many people in the City That Never Sleeps can truly be considered the 'Creator's' confidants and right-hand men?"

The Adventurer hesitated, "But... shouldn't his identity have already been registered as deceased in the records?"

"Yes, so once it's discovered that he faked his death, his current whereabouts will become particularly suspicious," Lin Yu said softly. "And his 'fake death'... isn't actually that hard to detect."

As Lin Yu spoke, the Adventurer sighed.

"It seems we underestimated you..."

"Not really, we only found out 'Mr. Candle's' identity by luck," Lin Yu said, adding, "At least we're not entirely sure what your identity is..."

As he spoke, Lin Yu examined the metal casing and then continued.

"So far, the only information I can confirm is that he is of Noble birth, from Count family or above, under thirty years old, not employed by Three Great Corporations, but has relevant work experience in Pioneer Team. He probably ran a startup related to a Great Wilderness project, possibly even the 'Gate of Boundary' project, but it went bankrupt. His Alchemy skills are not high, but he loves adventure and therefore knows a lot about alchemical equipment..."

Lin Yu's words shocked not only the Adventurer but also Nightless Sky Fire Apricot.

Wow, how did you figure that out? I just couldn't!

The Adventurer over there are under even greater pressure.

"You... well, you're not entirely right either..."

Lin Yu asked with some surprise, "Not entirely correct? Oh... there might indeed be some discrepancies, but after clarifying it by saying it out loud just now, I've actually been able to narrow down the scope even further and have gained a little bit of inspiration about who you are."

Lin Yu paused for a moment before continuing.

"You must be the heir to the Ducal Family... Hmm, let me think... the other victim in Supervisor Tennyson's case, the second son of the Rainbowlight Family, should be related to you..."

"Ah, I see," Lin Yu said. "You're the eldest son in their family, his older brother, right?"

As Lin Yu began to speak, the Adventurer's reaction became rather strange.

"Huh? Uh... if you put it that way, it doesn't really count... um, maybe?"

As the Adventurer spoke, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot sighed.

"The whole thing is a mess, Arthur... the whole thing is a mess!"

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised. "What do you mean?"

Even Old Zheng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up.

"Are you really not aware that something's wrong...? That can't be right, you're usually quite perceptive in these matters."

In the end, it was Stiller who quietly reminded Lin Yu.

"Boss..."

"The Rainbowlight Family has no eldest son; their first in line to the throne... is a woman."

"The deceased second son of the Rainbowlight Family had no older brother, only an older sister."

Lin Yu was shocked for the first time upon hearing Stiller's words.

"What?"

He looked at the Adventurer.

As Old Zheng said, Lin Yu is usually quite accurate at analyzing a person's situation through dialogue, body language, and other expressions.

But...

Lin Yu relies too much on obtaining personal information about the observed object through "external appearance," so when the object being observed is in a completely enclosed metal shell, Lin Yu may actually make some Error.

For example...

He might even mistake the other person's gender.

Once their identities were revealed, the Adventurer no longer hid them.

She removed the metal, spherical, fully enclosed helmet and then climbed out of the massive barrel-shaped armor.

She was a young, tall woman with long Linen hair and light-colored eyes, dressed in custom-made Combat Suit suitable for the Great Wilderness environment.

She sat on the edge of the massive armor and sighed.

"Really... Nightless Sky Huo Ming, your subordinate is indeed intelligent and knowledgeable, able to analyze such a whole bunch of nonsense."

"But he lacks common sense in certain areas—doesn't he even know that I, the future Duke Rainbowlight, Ailan Rainbowlight, am a woman?"

"How can employees of the Three Great Corporations be so ignorant of the Ducal Family? If this had happened before the Equality Act was enacted, I would have put him in jail."

The woman known as the Nightless Sky Huo Ming, Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, looked at Ailan Rainbowlight and nodded slightly.

"Indeed, Arthur can be a bit lacking in common sense sometimes."

"But that's nothing compared to what I've seen. I've even met another Noble who can't distinguish what the Direct Lineage Bloodline of Royal Nobles families look like."
