Tickets and Ambush

Fluoxetine himself appeared on the overpass as promised, just as Lin Yu's script had described.

From initially inviting others through "puzzles" in the Instance to later amplifying the spread of these "puzzles" back in reality, Lin Yu's actions were all for...

Ensure that the person who received the "Fluoxetine" treatment is aware of the invitation.

From the very beginning, Lin Yu had no intention of personally attending the appointment.

Admittedly, it plunged Jiang City into chaos, drew the attention of numerous experts, and brought the name of Fluoxetine into the view of most Player...

These are all things Lin Yu hoped to see.

However, the ultimate purpose of sending invitations in the Instance was not initially for these reasons.

What Lin Yu wanted was for Fluoxetine to reappear.

Regarding whether or not Fluoxetine would appear, Lin Yu admitted that there was an element of gambling involved.

He intuitively felt that if Fluoxetine heard this news and learned that "he had invited six experts from other organizations in the previous Instance," he might choose to accept the invitation.

Moreover, she is very likely to accept this invitation that "does not belong to" her.

But this is ultimately just intuition; it has no basis whatsoever.

Although making a mistake wouldn't cause Lin Yu any loss, it's always a pity when a plan falls through.

Fortunately...

"You didn't disappoint me, Fluoxetine."

"You're even crazier and funnier than I imagined."

Lin Yu murmured to himself, raising his binoculars once more to peer behind the curtain of rain.

Now that Fluoxetine has come, it means she has accepted the "challenge" given by Lin Yu.

After all, at this moment, Fluoxetine needed to provide a "reason" that Lin Yu himself hadn't even considered, a reason that would make these people travel such a long distance to come here.

Lin Yu really wanted to know...

What reason would Fluoxetine give to dispel any doubts from those present?

Lin Yu quickly learned the answer.

After the Tycoon and the Snowy Owl were "invited" off the overpass.

Fluoxetine pulled out three gold-plated paper sheets that looked like tickets from his pocket.

"You all should have just met 'me' in Instance where we were invited by a Deity, right?"

"You all survived in the end, and I admire your performance... So, so..."

"I have another invitation from the Deity here."

Fluoxetine's words caused the remaining six people on the elevated road to slightly change their expressions.

Why do you have multiple 'invitations' in your possession?

Li Hua asked in a deep voice, his gaze sharp.

"Haha, I guess I'm being watched over by some Deity," Fluoxetine said with a blissful smile. "It's a wonderful feeling! I hope you can experience it too!"

Qianhuan also narrowed her eyes.

"Congratulations, Miss. Fluoxetine... But, may I ask where this invitation is going?"

Fluoxetine unfolded the ticket in his hand like a fan, displaying it to the world.

The amusement park scene is depicted in an intaglio print on the golden paper.

"These are tickets to the 'Festival,' the festival leading to [Heavenly Amusement Park]—the date is to be determined, depending on how long it takes for the tickets to be distributed."

In short, two out of the six of you will receive this ticket.

As Fluoxetine spoke, he flicked his wrist, and the two tickets vanished in golden light.

"Although I personally don't really like puzzles, since this gathering started with puzzles, let it end with 'puzzles' as well."

Fluoxetine said with a smile.

"I'm not very good at creating word puzzles, so--"

"One of the tickets will be hidden in the cracks between poetry and Dynasty."

"The other ticket is hidden beneath the ironclad law of Equivalent Exchange."

After Fluoxetine finished speaking, everyone slowly pondered his words.

Only A'yu scratched her hair in anguish.

"Another riddle? Are you kidding me!"

"And Nail Sister, what do you mean by showing three cards but only giving out two? Did you keep one for yourself?"

Fluoxetine grinned and waved the last ticket in his hand.

"No, my ticket isn't like this..."

"This last card isn't for the six of you, but for the person who made this gathering possible!"

As she spoke, Fluoxetine folded her umbrella, and rain fell on her.

"Hello--"

Fluoxetine shouted in the rain, but instead of looking at anyone present, he looked up at the sky.

"Whoever you are or how you did it, I'm grateful to you for bringing this Destiny meeting to fruition! And the six people standing here... I'm very satisfied with them too!"

"So, I'll give you a ticket as a thank you—you've been watching, haven't you?"

"Whenever you appear, wherever I can see you... I will give you this ticket, do you understand?"

Fluoxetine's sudden, seemingly unrelated behavior—talking to whoever he was talking to—left the six people present somewhat bewildered.

"Who facilitated this gathering? Did she receive help from someone else to invite us?"

Carrot asked in a somewhat hesitant voice.

Mosin-Nagant stroked his chin and said, "Perhaps her invitation to the previous Instance was also a gift?"

Robin also fell into thought, "'Appearing wherever I can see'... what does that mean?"

A'yu sighed deeply, "Nail Sister has gone crazy again. You guys can analyze it if you want... I need to go back and study that 'poetry and Dynasty' thing, and where is the Equivalent Exchange?"

"Anyway, Nail Sister and Qianhuan, I also want to give you two pieces of advice," A'yu said, taking out her phone and glancing at it. "Based on my understanding of 'Order,' if you don't leave soon... 'Order' will send people to arrest us."

"After all, once you, Nail Sister, showed up and forced the Tycoon and Snowy Owl to leave, that Administrator over there should be able to confirm that there was no 'ambush'..."

Qianhuan stroked his chin and said, "Oh my, you know... that bastard really would do something like that!"

"I have to run, Gambler-- "

Upon hearing this, Li Hua adjusted his glasses.

"Ha, that's a bit of a slander..."

He spoke Leng Jing, as the sound of Twenty-Sided Dice rolling filled the air.

Above Li Hua's head, the phantom image of a spinning Dice appeared.

"The moment she appeared alone, I was already certain there was no 'ambush'."

"I'll trouble you all—although the Tycoon isn't here, please try your best to keep these three men and their entourage here!"

Li Hua tapped the [Soul Gold Brooch] as he spoke.

"Here it comes--"

The curtain of rain in the sky seemed to be torn open, and then a canvas appeared out of thin air.

Five figures emerged from the canvas.

Qianhuan spat.

"Tsk... Five Administrator, they're really going all out. Aren't they afraid of causing problems in their jurisdiction?"

A look of annoyance mixed with excitement appeared on A'yu's face.

"Tch--Luckily, I had a backup plan."

"Hold on tight, Qianhuan, Fluoxetine!"

After saying that, A'yu clapped her hands together.

"Smack!"

After a crisp sound, a tremendous roar erupted.

"Boom!"

The viaduct began to shake violently, and a series of explosions erupted below!
