The Gains from This Trip
The analysis by Nightless Sky Yong Shang is very reasonable.
But for Lin Yu...
He clearly had a strong inclination in his mind.
Both Lin Yu and Nightless Sky Huo Ming had reached a conclusion at this moment.
That is...
It's highly likely that Nightless Sky Yong Lian didn't have a very high Alchemy Affinity back then.
As for why she has achieved such alchemical accomplishments...
This is part of why the Truth might be crucial to the survival of the entire "City That Never Sleeps".
Lin Yu was very clear... this wasn't the first time Nightless Sky Yong Lian had borrowed power from Other Worlds.
Although Nightless Sky Yong Shang also saw the part of the layout that Nightless Sky Yong Lian had made near the Great Wilderness and the Gate of Boundary.
However, Nightless Sky Yong Shang clearly did not understand as much as Lin Yu how dangerous Nightless Sky Yong Lian was doing!
The inexplicable emergence of the "fear" Authority, the space falling into the Gray Domain...
What if Nightless Sky Yong Lian's action wasn't accidental, but rather a habitual tactic that's almost become a path dependency?
Furthermore, considering that the Barren Realm itself had its "Ocean" Authority extracted by the Nether Void Realm...
Lin Yu felt that the danger of this matter was gradually increasing.
"Nightless Sky Yong Lian... it might be even crazier than I imagined."
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense...
After all, she was the mother of Nightless Sky Fire Apricot.
Furthermore, this Family Head has said this more than once...
She once said... that the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot looks a lot like her when she was young.
Now it seems that this wasn't about Alchemy Talent, or even about the personality of the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot.
That's what I'm saying...
Perhaps it's the Without Taboos style of Nightless Sky Fire Apricot!
However, for a period of time before, he had not realized the meaning behind the name "Nightless Sky Yong Lian".
While Lin Yu was processing these parts...
There was also a gentle knock on the door of the archives room.
"Knock knock!"
Nightless Sky Huo Ming looked at Nightless Sky Yong Shang, Lin Yu, and Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, and said, "It should be Dongming Shuliu... I told her not to bother us unless it's something special."
"She knows her place; the fact that she still knocked on the door even so means it must really be something important."
Nightless Sky Fire Apricot waved her hand. "Sister, this is your territory, no need to explain so much to us... just call her in."
The Nightless Sky Huo Ming nodded.
"I just have a lot of respect for Supervisor Arthur and Uncle Yongchang... after all, they are my benefactors now."
"But you're right, this is my territory after all... and Dongming is indeed someone I trust."
Then she called out to the door, "Come in!"
Dongming Shuliu pushed open the door to the archives room, but did not go any further inside. He simply stood at the doorway and bowed.
"Boss, Supervisor Arthur's 'friends' have arrived."
"They arrived much faster than expected; they rushed here, so when they arrived, they said they had something urgent to discuss with Arthur..."
"I've settled most of them in, and they've even chosen their own representatives to meet with Supervisor Arthur —it's Count Arase Nian."
Listening to Dongming Shuliu's report, Nightless Sky Huo Ming remained calm until he heard the name "Arase Nian," at which point he couldn't help but frown.
Nightless Sky Huo Ming was never one to hide his true feelings, and now, on his own turf, he paid even less attention to concealing his emotions and attitude.
Judging from this striking reaction...
She didn't really get along with Joe Solence or "Xiao Nian".
However, just as Lin Yu had predicted...
Although there was a brief period of unpleasantness, Nightless Sky Huo Ming was able to suppress his displeasure because he had accepted the favor and completed the "Hand of Alchemy" ritual.
"Let her in."
"Nightless Sky Huo Ming said calmly, while Dongming Shuliu glanced at Lin Yu and once again showed admiration in his eyes."
Then, Dongming Shuliu left the room.
A moment later, Xiao Nian strode in.
Then, her gaze passed over Nightless Sky Huo Ming and Nightless Sky Fire Apricot and looked at Lin Yu — Lin Yu was currently active in the form of "Arthur." Xiao Nian was stunned for a moment, and then spoke.
So, Xiao Nian walked to the table and asked directly.
Where is the Director?
"He's at this base too, but he's busy with something else," Lin Yu said, arms crossed. "Just tell me—don't worry, he's safe."
Xiao Nian's expression seemed less lively again. "I believe you on that point... However, I still have a question: who is that person outside who looks so much like you?"
Lin Yu understood that Xiao Nian was referring to Old Zheng, and he asked with considerable surprise, "The restaurant was so chaotic, and he was wearing a mask, you saw all of that?"
"My visual Alchemy Component has an identification function," Xiao Nian tapped his eye socket and said calmly, "Is that your substitute or your Doppelganger?"
Lin Yu shook his head. "No, it's the First Generation 'Freud'."
Xiao Nian stared at Lin Yu and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine... I'll just consider it your way of protecting yourself, it's normal."
After Xiao Nian and Lin Yu finished speaking, Nightless Sky Yong Shang looked at Xiao Nian with Outer God on her face.
"Impressive... You're 'Count Arase Nian'?"
"The City That Never Sleeps is really outrageous these days... They've even produced someone like you among the Count."
Lin Yu looked at Nightless Sky Yong Shang and mouthed "Player," which made Nightless Sky Yong Shang realize what was happening.
"No wonder."
Xiao Nian looked at Nightless Sky Yong Shang: "And which family are you from? I don't know you."
He is Nightless Sky Yong Shang.
Lin Yu began to explain.
Nightless Sky Yong Shang nodded slightly. "Nice to meet you."
Xiao Nian thought for a few seconds and then said, "Great, I believe 'Director' is alright."
After all, the fact that Nightless Sky Yong Shang, who is considered "dead" in the Barren Realm, is here suggests that, based on the information Xiao Nian has gathered, he could only have been Guest Appearance Invitation.
The Nightless Sky Yong Shang is still here means that the "Director" is definitely safe and sound, and that he has indeed reached some kind of cooperative relationship with "Schreiber".
Then, Xiao Nian took out a storage device from his pocket and tossed it to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu reached out and caught it, asking, "What is this?"
"One of our biggest gains from this trip was the technical data on 'Supreme Evolution' that we obtained after infiltrating the Divine Power Group."
As Xiao Nian spoke, his gaze swept over the three members of the Nightless Sky Family.
"You can find anyone who knows Alchemy to test it; the techniques involved are extremely crucial."
Lin Yu, holding the storage device, spoke.
"'One of the gains'... What other gains were there?"
Xiao Nian began, "The other gains... are the process by which we obtained this storage device."
"Based on my deduction, the contents recorded here include, but are not limited to, the parts controlled by the Divine Power Group."
"So, although we obtained it after infiltrating the Divine Power Group's building... it's not data from the Divine Power Group's classified database."
"This data was given to Good Night by a guy who called himself the 'Creator'!"
