Fu Luo's Inside Information and Intimidation
Fu Luo's flexible and adaptable nature led him to reconcile with Chen Zhuo on the spot.
"Brother, you had the ability to connect with the big shots of the 'Freedom Alliance,' why didn't you tell us sooner—we've really messed things up!"
"To be honest, I'm also a bit of a Conan fan, but lately the TV series has been so bad, and the movies are getting worse and worse, so it's understandable that I'm so critical of them."
Although Chen Zhuo had some concerns about Li Nian and "Zhu Ming's" identity from the beginning, he couldn't help but straighten his back now.
"After all, this is on a forum. Bringing up the 'Freedom Alliance' relationship is just asking for trouble, isn't it?"
"Besides, I'm a low-key person, and I don't even know there's someone even more impressive I know!"
Chen Zhuo waved his hand, appearing humble.
Li Nian was actually quite happy to see this Little fatty flaunting his name.
Lin Yu stepped forward and coughed lightly, then looked at Fu Luo.
"In short, we've revealed our secrets to you... Sherlock, I've also heard of your name."
"Although you were in a sorry state by a robot just now, I know you're just not good at fighting."
"This train may seem like a 'survival' and 'battle' Instance, but there are actually some mysteries surrounding it."
After Lin Yu finished speaking, before Fu Luo could speak, Wang Yuyang added.
"I've heard of you too; you've done a lot for 'Order'."
"If you don't want to work with us because of the name of the organization we belong to, I personally understand."
Fu Luo lightly. "How could that be, Designer brother... Look at how fast I knelt just now, do I look like a person with such integrity?"
"This Instance isn't Player- versus-player dungeon. We can cooperate to clear it and have a lot of fun. What's wrong with that?"
"Does anyone go out and report me to 'Order'?"
At this point, Fu Luo patted his chest and made a bold promise, "Don't worry, everyone, leave the puzzle to me... It just so happens that this train most likely belongs to 'Truth Company,' and I happen to have a lot of dealings with this company!"
Lin Yu nodded.
"Very good, let's set off then."
As she spoke, Fu Luo asked, somewhat confused, "Huh? Where to?"
Li Nian smiled and explained, "While you were outsmarting that useless robot, we did a lot of things—in short, now we're going to find the person on this train who's most likely close to the mastermind."
"A guy called 'Baron'."
Fu Luo paused for a moment, then asked, "Baron? Could it be the 'Baron Coleman' from Truth Company, who was supposed to be executed for failing to assassinate the President?"
These words startled everyone around them.
"You actually know that?!"
Li Nian was startled.
"Damn, so the people on the forum were right... Fu... Fu Zi, you're really something."
Chen Zhuo also exclaimed in surprise.
Pan Yuqiang nudged Wang Yuyang with her elbow triumphantly. "See? I was right to let you save him, wasn't I?"
"Of course, you rarely make mistakes."
Lin Yu, however, was not surprised that Fu Luo knew so much about the train.
Fu Luo had already revealed during their previous encounter in the Snow Mountain that this wasn't the first time he had dealt with the Truth Company.
Moreover, it only considers the number of Instance and not the Divine Rank...
Fu Luo is indeed more senior than Li Nian —he might even outlive Wang Yuyang and Pan Yuqiang.
But to Lin Yu's surprise...
Pankto also showed a surprised expression. "Baron Coleman, I have a new friend... no, I should say a friend from when I first joined the company, a guy named Jerry Coleman."
Fu Luo had noticed the NPC in the crowd early on, and after clearly seeing the "F-6" badge and attire on the other party, he frowned and asked, "What are you from?"
"The one we met in carriage 13 was in a frenzied state before, but he's been brought to his senses and has amnesia—he's a former field agent for the Truth Company."
Lin Yu gave a brief introduction to Pankto.
Pankto nodded. "Yes, just call me Pankto."
Fu Luo was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not Group Delta, is it?"
Pankto was surprised. "How did you know?"
Lin Yu added, "Although he might not remember, judging from the Identity card... this guy is the leader of the Delta Group."
Upon hearing this, Fu Luo's expression grew even more unpleasant.
He took off his hat, grabbed his hair, and then a pained expression appeared on his face.
"Damn it... damn it! Damn it! We're doomed!"
"I should have realized earlier that all three 'Freedom Alliance' members were grouped together; this Instance is definitely not going to be easy."
"No way! Is my Tier Advancement Instance always this frustrating?!"
Seeing Fu Luo's somewhat distraught appearance, Lin Yu stepped forward and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"You're looking for Tier Advancement Instance? Never mind... that's not important, just tell me about it."
"What exactly is going on between Pankto and Baron Coleman?"
Fu Luo raised his head, his face contorted with grief. "Xinqiu, I've already said it— Baron Coleman's crime is the assassination of the current President of Truth Company."
"And his accomplice is the leader of the δ group of the Security Department's Field Team."
"Those two guys should have been dead seven years ago, according to the Truth Company's files!"
"This involves a power struggle at the very top of Truth Company... It's a factional struggle between those with the Highest Authority."
"To reach A-Class authority, one either needs to possess combat strength comparable to a 'Tier 3' fighter, or be able to mobilize combat strength of roughly the same level."
"Like this leader of the Delta Group you're leading, although his authority is only C, he's one of the few 'successful works' in the Truth Company's 'Calamity Series' after undergoing 'Eightfold Modification'."
"Someone from the same series once killed a division chief of the 'Marauders'!"
Lin Yu remained calm. "So what? Isn't he on our side now?"
Pankto nodded. "That's right... Although assassinating the President sounds a bit outrageous, I'm not crazy."
"And I believe Coleman isn't either—besides, you said we're in cahoots, so maybe he'll give me some face."
Fu Luo shrank back even more. "No, no, no, this definitely won't go that smoothly..."
As he spoke, he avoided Pankto, pulled Lin Yu and Li Nian in front of him, and continued to speak in a low voice with a bitter face.
"My current 'Rank Advancement Trial' is to investigate the Truth the three wrongful convictions on the 'Despair Train'... Believe me, once it involves 'Tier Advancement,' it's definitely not that simple."
"What are you afraid of? Do you think we've never been promoted before?" Li Nian Underground passage nonchalantly. "Even if it's a bit difficult, can we not be promoted?"
"If you're really worried, you can just not investigate," Lin Yu said calmly. "We went to see the Baron just to find out how to get the tickets as soon as possible."
"Every 72 hours, this train is subject to a variable known as the 'Great Purge'... Waiting around might not be without danger."
Fu Luo heard the words "Great Purge," he was startled, but still hesitated.
"This..."
"Stop being so wishy-washy," Li Nian scolded, then turned to Pan Yuqiang, "Hey, sister, can I borrow your man for a bit?"
Pan Yuqiang nodded slightly, and Wang Yuyang slowly walked over.
"What do you want me to do?"
Li Nian pointed at Wang Yuyang and said fiercely again, "The introduction just now was rather hasty. Let me reintroduce you to this 'Designer' who can date Operator the 'Psychology Society'."
"He just killed about ten people in dining car number 3 because he was in a bad mood. The bounty on his head at the 'Hunter Society' is enough to buy a house in Sea City!"
"You were already terrified when you heard the name 'Freedom Alliance' just now, how come you're starting to think about it now?"
"Does that mean we're not as intimidating as the Truth Company?"
