Another Familiar Face!
Regardless of what Chen Zhuo told the amnesiac Pankto, whether it would shake the values of this amnesiac man, or what kind of Chain Reaction it would have on this Instance world in the future...
At least for now, everything is as usual.
For Lin Yu, the more pressing question is...
"There's none in carriage number six either?"
Looking at the burly men in carriage number six, who were being tied up in a row and searched one by one by Pankto Doll to see if they had anything valuable, Lin Yu sighed.
The Lion Gang, which occupies this place, is just as its name suggests; it is a group of strong and robust men.
Their strength seemed far greater than that of other gangs, and therefore their tempers appeared to be more volatile—upon seeing someone enter carriage number six, they immediately launched into a fight after hurling a few curses in simple Tibetan.
They didn't seem particularly afraid even when they saw Pankto.
Then...
It's true that this "Lion Gang" has some strength; if an ordinary Player were to encounter them, they would likely be killed on the spot.
But right now, there are three "Tier 2" Player in this Instance.
These NPCs barely survived several cleansings on this Despair Train, but the condition for Player participating in the Instance to Clearance Conditions it was how to get off this "train".
Therefore, throughout the entire process, not only did Chen Zhuo, who had hired people, not even Lin Yu, Pan Yuqiang, or Pankto lift a finger.
Even Li Nian's intervention was merely because she was itching to play around and casually took down two people.
Wang Yuyang basically handled everything perfectly on his own.
This was also the first time Lin Yu had seen how Wang Yuyang, this "Designer," had put his ideas into action.
Although he finished the fight so quickly that Lin Yu couldn't see it clearly.
However, Lin Yu still managed to see the general outline of the method.
Wang Yuyang is creating things out of thin air—he only needs to stretch out his hand, and a weapon will appear in the air like a 3D printing process.
He just switched between three weapons: Short Staff, a flail, and brass knuckles, each of which lasted only a short time.
Unlike "Painter," Wang Yuyang's process doesn't even require any medium or prelude.
This is not an ability belonging to any "Profession" that Lin Yu is aware of.
If it is Item, it should be a very rare and precious type—most likely the kind with "notes" and "instructions".
However, Lin Yu still leans towards the idea that Wang Yuyang is using his "Profession" abilities at this moment.
Neither he nor Li Nian mentioned his "Profession" when he introduced himself.
His code name is "Designer"—a Profession that doesn't exist among the known common "Profession."
The code names used by the "Freedom Alliance" seem to be mostly related to their "Profession".
So...
"Is it likely to be another 'Unique Profession'? No wonder the 'Freedom Alliance' has so few members but is valued so much by 'Order' and the forum."
Lin Yu drew a conclusion.
Of course, regardless of Wang Yuyang's Profession, the most important thing right now is finding out where the last Player is.
"He's not in carriage six, which means he either went to a different dining car at a different time than us, or he didn't go to the dining car at all..."
Wang Yuyang pondered for a moment and said, Pan Yuqiang understood what her boyfriend was thinking, "Could it be that he's deliberately avoiding us?"
"Very likely."
Wang Yuyang nodded and said.
Li Nian stroked her chin. "A lone wolf type? If all else fails, we might as well let him go alone!"
"Don't you have any means to find people?"
Lin Yu asked curiously.
Wang Yuyang and Li Nian both shook their heads.
"I don't."
Li Nian scratched his head. "I do have a way to 'find people,' but it's not very effective in this space separated by carriages."
"If that doesn't work, we can contact the Baron and ask for his help. Showing further weakness might be a bit excessive, but if we really want to find him, we can give it a try..."
Pan Yuqiang also analyzed it.
Chen Zhuo sighed in frustration, "Oh dear, it's true what they say, you only realize how few [Item] you have when you need them. Someone tried to sell me a [Life Detector Radar] before, but I thought, what use is that thing anyway, and it cost me 300 points each, so I didn't buy it."
At that moment, an unexpected voice spoke.
One of the Lion Gang on the ground spoke up weakly.
"Um... are you looking for someone who just got on the bus?"
"The one who boarded in carriage number five?"
Although he was limited by Cognitive Interference, he could barely understand what these experts in front of him were saying...
But he wasn't surprised—given his background as a low-level thug in the City That Never Sleeps, and being practically illiterate, it was perfectly normal for a master to say he couldn't understand him.
Before Lin Yu could signal him, Pankto stopped the body search and walked up to the Lion Gang man.
Do you have any leads?
"Yes, yes," the man nodded vigorously. "We saw newcomers getting on the bus before. Although there weren't any on the 7th or 8th, according to the previous agreement with the Airport Gang, since there were people on the 4th and 5th, the 5th could be ours."
"So we were just getting ready to go and find the Airport Gang after the newcomers in carriage number 5 pass the first two rounds of 'challenges'."
"Once the newcomer passes the first few rounds, the dining car screen will indicate which carriage is now available for them to enter and challenge the newcomer."
The Lion Gang man raised his chin, gesturing towards the screen.
Pankto rubbed his temples, grimacing. "Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember something; it seems to be this kind of process."
"Yes, but we waited for you to arrive, but we didn't receive any notification from carriage 5. Carriages 4 and 13, on the other hand, finished very quickly."
The man from the Lion Gang spoke cautiously, clearly aware that these people were "newcomers" from carriages 4 and 13.
Lin Yu also realized what was going on.
"So, that person could still be in carriage number 5?"
"Deliberately controlling the time?" Wang Yuyang frowned as well. "He's a bit of an enigma. Yuqiang, what do you think?"
Pan Yuqiang shrugged. "I don't have any clue either, there's just too little information."
"However, he does sound like a very confident expert... After all, even at our level, our first reaction upon entering Instance is to 'seize the time' and 'gather information'."
Wang Yuyang nodded. "Then we still need to meet him in person—let's go, I'm also interested in this last Player."
He stood up, and a long sword began to take shape in his hand.
"These people don't need to be killed."
Pan Yuqiang gently patted Wang Yuyang's Right Hand.
Wang Yuyang gave a soft "Oh," and then the longsword that had been mostly formed in his hand dissipated.
Seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but inwardly complain.
This scene is truly bizarre—the "killers" from the "Psychology Society" are advising others against indiscriminate killing.
They left the dejected Lion Gang in the dining car and returned to dining car number 3.
After passing through dining car number 4, Lin Yu and his group stood in front of the door of carriage number 5.
Perhaps because the ordeal in carriage number 5 wasn't over yet, the door connecting the carriages was currently closed.
But this didn't stump Lin Yu.
He took out Pankto's Permission card and swiped it...
"Beep--"
Sure enough, C-2 clearance was enough to open the carriage doors, which were temporarily closed due to the test.
As soon as the car door opened, everyone became wary, preparing to see the last expert inside.
A truly agonizing scream came from within.
"Don't hit me! Robot Bro! I'll buy you a battery, okay?!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Lin Yu lowered his guard with a strange expression.
He looked inside and, sure enough, saw another familiar face.
Wearing a straw hat and looking like a foreigner, Fu Luo was jumping around in the carriage, being chased around in circles by a boxing robot that was less than half a meter tall.
