The Value of Fear

"Vell Valetti, damn it, it's him!"

Before Lin Yu could react, Fu Luo became excited and looked at Pankto.

"I felt something was off when I heard you also had the surname Valetti, so it turns out it's you..."

"Grandfather Uncle."

Pankto up to offer a hint.

"Grandfather Uncle?"

Fu Luo was surprised for a moment, then couldn't help but mutter, "Your grandfather and your father seem to want children quite early..."

Coleman looked at Fu Luo: "You actually know Will Valetti?"

Fu Luo his hand. "What do you mean I know him... I'm not bragging, buddy, the last person in this world to see Will Valetti might be me, Sherlock."

"At that time, we were in a vast, Snow Mountain..."

Then, Fu Luo suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, didn't you just say 'also'?"

"I know Will Valetti too... does that mean you know this woman too?"

Fu Luo looked at Lin Yu in disbelief.

Lin Yu shrugged. "Yeah, and I still have his Permission card and Notebook."

Lin Yu once again revealed the [Ancient Notebook] and Will Valetti's Identity card.

And of course he knew...

Fu Luo recognized both items.

But Lin Yu wasn't afraid of creating any "loopholes" by taking it out, because Lin Yu had set the conditions from the very beginning.

Both Li Nian and Chen Zhuo had heard Lin Yu's explanation... these things were given to them by "friends".

Going back further, it is also reliable that "Zhu Ming" and "May" had a relationship.

Sure enough, Fu Luo's eyes widened as he looked at the two items.

"How did it end up in your hands?"

Upon hearing Fu Luo's words, Lin Yu calmly turned his head and stared at Fu Luo.

"What do you mean 'in my hands'? This was originally mine... Do you mean to say it's yours?"

As Lin Yu spoke, Fu Luo opened his mouth, and then spoke.

"I... but I've seen these things in the previous Instance... I should be the last person to see them."

Then, Fu Luo realized what was happening.

"Did you buy it?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "I didn't buy it, a friend gave it to me... or rather, it was an exchange."

As he spoke, Fu Luo looked at Lin Yu in surprise.

"What is the Profession the friend you mentioned?"

Lin Yu frowned slightly, as if he had realized something.

"Wait a minute, so he must have met you in that Instance... He mentioned it when he went to Zhengcheng, saying he received help from some friends."

My friend's Profession is "Doctor".

As Lin Yu spoke, Fu Luo.

"No mistake, no mistake, sis!"

"May, right? We're friends who share the same place... Oh dear, he didn't even tell me about this!"

"My best friend and I, May, have a life-or-death bond."

Baron Coleman watched this scene, glanced at Pankto beside him, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Very nice."

It seemed that he had also reunited with an old friend, so he did not interrupt their conversation.

Upon hearing Fu Luo's words, Lin Yu also displayed an expression of surprise mixed with slight delight.

"So the 'extremely intelligent and meticulous Detective's that May was talking about was you."

Fu Luo felt a little embarrassed after hearing Lin Yu's words.

"Really? Brother May is talking about me behind my back? Oh dear, look at this... this is so embarrassing!"

"To be honest, his Wisdom is no less than mine."

Lin Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "Not at all, everyone has their own expertise... You helped him a lot in that Instance."

"And after he got out, it was thanks to you that he was able to investigate those things about the 'Psychology Society' —to be honest, your investigation into 'Fluoxetine' was actually more helpful to me."

Lin Yu said with a smile.

But Fu Luo was taken aback.

"Fluoxetine? I haven't investigated... I can't find anyone from the 'Psychology Society' —are they at the same level as that Miss. Citalopram?"

Fu Luo spoke, Lin Yu was also stunned.

He realized that Fu Luo was definitely not lying.

So...

What's the deal with Sherlock on the forum?

Lin Yu's thoughts raced, and he felt a subtle, chilling sense of unease.

It felt as if a pair of eyes were watching me from behind.

But Lin Yu is still playing the role of "Zhu Ming," and he will absolutely not allow himself to lose his composure during the performance.

Therefore, Lin Yu simply made a reaction that best suited Zhu Ming's identity.

"Really?" Lin Yu frowned slightly. "I really don't know what May is up to. I'll go out and ask him."

Then, feeling somewhat flustered, Lin Yu looked at Baron Coleman and continued to ask questions.

"In short, since Weir Valetti has been mentioned, the so-called 'forbidden' technology must be..."

"Are you scared?"

As she spoke, she pulled the [Fear Torch] from her bosom.

Baron Coleman nodded. "Indeed, since Professor Dort's death and Will Valetti's disappearance, the technology of 'fear' has been considered taboo."

"Because of its age, I don't know exactly why it's considered taboo... But Truth Company is a company that is extremely dedicated to technological innovation. Ordinary accidents and technical defects are simply not enough to justify stopping the development and research of a new field, new technology, or new energy source."

"Therefore, there must be some extremely huge hidden danger or irreconcilable contradiction involved, which is why extracting 'fear' is considered by all researchers and senior management to be a taboo among taboos."

Upon hearing this, Fu Luo recalled for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.

"I think I might know what its hidden dangers are."

Pankto and Coleman immediately looked at Fu Luo, both appearing very concerned.

After all, this is indeed something that is closely related to the two of them.

But before Fu Luo could speak, Lin Yu interrupted him.

"Wait, Sherlock, don't talk about this yet..."

"Let him finish speaking first," Lin Yu pointed to Baron Coleman, "Partly to see if what you know is truly valuable compared to what he knows, and partly..."

"If it's truly valuable, it can fetch a good price."

Lin Yu spoke calmly, while Baron Coleman spoke helplessly.

"Madam, you're really a bit too clever for your own good."

"Okay... I'll continue—in short, after discovering the existence of this ghost laboratory and figuring out their research direction, I realized that it was truly, utterly, the end."

"At that time, I was already at level A-2, just one step away from the top of the company... Not wanting to ruin my future, I decided to take a gamble."

"So, I found one of the addresses of that non-existent laboratory, and after investigating, I also found one of the people in charge of that laboratory."

"At that time, the records showed that a certain researcher, who had already retired and was now in a sinecure, had worked with Professor Dort and was considered quite prestigious within the Truth Company."

"And when I personally visited him..."

Baron Coleman let out a sigh of relief.

"I discovered that he died in his home laboratory."
