Cooperation Reached

Faced with the other party's accusations, Lin Yu sighed.

The situation appears optimistic, but not entirely optimistic.

Subjective "loyalty" does not exist.

However, there are still objective conditions that prevent one from harming oneself.

"I don't have any weird fetishes. This was an accident for me, okay?"

The other party Leng Jing down.

Although Lin Yu had ended his [Mask] disguise, due to the strange relationship between the two, the leader of the δ group could still recognize that the man in front of him was the "girl" who had brainwashed him before.

He sneered angrily, "So your psychopathism is just me pretending to be a woman? That sounds like a hybrid of Supreme Evolution!"

"I don't come from any company in the City That Never Sleeps, and of course, I don't come from the Great Wilderness either..."

Lin Yu tried to explain to the other party, but unexpectedly discovered...

He suddenly found himself able to talk to the leader of Group δ about things like "Death game" and "Player".

So, seeing that his team leader was already very unhappy and in pain, Lin Yu decided to give him an extra boost.

"Let me explain. I don't come from your world, nor am I from your world anymore..."

Lin Yu then spent about twenty minutes giving a brief explanation, and used various mobile phones and videos he found to prove his point, which led the outstanding employee of Truth Company to accept the premise.

The tall, armed man in front of Lin Yu sat in the computer chair in front of Lin Yu's desk, his hands behind his head.

"So, I'm just a Game NPC?"

Lin Yu shook his head. "No, although you are an NPC from my perspective... based on my observation, these Game Instance should all be real worlds—it's just that compared to our world, your worlds are more desolate, dangerous, and smaller in scale."

"Whether your world was created by Deity or taken over, you are all real, living people, not just existing for the sake of Game."

Lin Yu explained.

The leader of Group δ sighed.

"But... I can't go back, can I?"

Lin Yu took a look with the new [Mind-Reading Mirror].

The emotions of the leader of Group δ are vividly portrayed—around his body, there is a large mass of blue mixed with gray.

Lin Yu couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, the [Mind-Reading Mirror] has analytical functions.

"75% frustration, 13% confusion, 10% sadness, 2% resentment."

Seeing this emotion, Lin Yu patted the other person on the shoulder.

"Don't be too sad. I only play this unlucky Game once a week... If I'm lucky, I might randomly end up near the Truth Company, which is like having a family visit leave."

"Besides, you probably didn't have any relatives or friends to begin with, right?"

As Lin Yu spoke, the leader of Group δ looked up, somewhat displeased.

But in the end, unable to harm Lin Yu, he could only angrily pound his own thigh.

"What does it matter to you whether I have family or friends?"

Of course.

Lin Yu remained calm. "What I'm actually more curious about is... what's your relationship with Pankto? A clone? An imitator?"

As he spoke, Lin Yu stepped forward and easily removed the helmet from the other man's head when he was unable to resist.

What peeked out from under that helmet...

It was a face almost identical to Pankto's, only slightly younger and not as disheveled and gaunt.

Lin Yu actually learned of the existence of the "third injustice" earlier than Fu Luo.

As the holder of the [Ancient Notebook], he knew very well that the contents of the notebook at that time were definitely not generated based on Baron Coleman's Memory —a point that Baron Coleman himself admitted.

In other words, that face looks almost exactly like Pankto's.

Combined with Pankto's amnesia...

Based on this, Lin Yu can make a bold guess.

President Paris likely has someone who looks similar to Pankto in his possession.

Fu Luo noticed that the wound on Reed's back wasn't from a weapon Pankto usually used; surely Baron Coleman would have noticed too?

He suspected that his closest friend must possess some kind of decisive evidence.

For example... videos and the like.

A being who underwent the same modifications as Pankto and looks almost identical.

And the new leader of the Delta Group, Paris's confidant and successor to Pankto, almost perfectly fits the criteria.

Although Lin Yu was only guessing before removing the mask.

But now it turns out...

Lin Yu guessed correctly.

"You bastard!"

After Lin Yu removed his mask, the leader of Group δ, "Pankto," seemed somewhat annoyed, but apart from glaring at Lin Yu, there was nothing he could do.

Lin Yu spoke calmly.

"Whether you like it or not... we'll be spending a lot of time working together in the future—and frankly, that work won't be equal."

"Because if I die, you will definitely die."

"You die, but I can still live."

"I've already been honest with you, and I'm showing my true colors right now... So, even if you want to keep your background a secret for now, at least tell me your name."

The group leader let out a long sigh.

Indeed, he is now completely dependent on others.

So...

"You're right. I am a new human created by Paris using immature technology of Supreme Evolution and the genetic secrets of Pankto."

"In a sense, I could be considered a more perfect version of him."

"I don't have a special name. Paris calls me Number One ... That's my number, you can call me that too."

At that moment, Hannah poked her head out.

"Then you can ask the Director to name you; he's really good at naming things!"

Lin Yu shook his head.

No, he should have a name.

The leader of Group δ in front of him was slightly surprised, then nodded.

"Yes, I had a name back in the Great Wilderness... it was called Stiller, which means tranquility in the Great Wilderness language."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Stiller."

Lin Yu smiled and extended his hand to the other person.

Stiller looked almost exactly like Pankto but with a sharper and more flamboyant expression, hesitated for a moment before slowly extending his hand.

"Okay... Director, right?"

The two men clasped hands, then Stiller let go.

"I have one last question—what is that talking pink mollusk next to you...? Is it a special Wisdom life form from your world?"

Stiller looked at Hannah and asked suspiciously.

Lin Yu shook his head. "No, this is Hannah, just like you, from some Instance... probably not from the same world as you or me."

"Although there are Octopus in our world, none of them can talk."

Stiller was even more puzzled. "Octopus?"

"A type of Ocean creature, don't you have it where you live?"

Stiller looked puzzled upon hearing Lin Yu's words.

Finally, it dawned on him.

"So your world has Ocean —in the City That Never Sleeps and the Great Wilderness, they're practically mythical!"
