After helping Lin Yu set up the account, Edwin said Lin Yu and left.

The reason is quite simple...

"We'd better not run into each other for too long in Jiang City, or we'll run into big trouble!"

"All you need to know is that there's a very strange... I don't know if it's a person or an organization, but it's something you absolutely can't mention, that's controlling this city."

"The reason why 'Order' dared to leave a city as large as Jiang City without Captain General for two months is mainly because even the highest levels of 'Order' know that someone is keeping order in this city!"

"That's a being a hundred times more terrifying than 'The Tycoon' —if that being had made a move last night, even Commissioner Fluoxetine would likely be in grave danger."

Edwin's reasons were so compelling that they even seemed like earnest advice and guidance to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu naturally remembered what the other person said, and couldn't help but wonder to himself.

What exactly is going on?

As time went by and his strength increased, Lin Yu came into contact with more and more things about "Player".

Especially engaging in in-depth contact with organizations deemed destabilizing by the "Order"...

These guys all seemed to have a special kind of fear of Jiang City.

Especially the guys from the "Psychology Society"—from their perspective, a thick shadow seemed to hover over Jiang City.

Could it be that "Grandmaster"?

No... First of all, she doesn't seem to be a permanent resident here.

Secondly, the "Grandmaster" mentioned that as someone in a high position, she would face significant limitations if she were to take any actions in reality.

"What exactly is going on?"

Lin Yu was briefly curious, but didn't think about it too deeply.

Anyway, he wouldn't do anything immoral or immoral; he's upright and has nothing to fear!

Lin Yu was certainly curious about these unsolved mysteries that had little to do with him, but he didn't have an obsession with solving them.

After leaving the Coffee shop, he put away the tablet computer given to him by the "Psychology Society," feeling quite regretful.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to recruit all members of this organization by having them join the "Psychology Society".

As for being removed from the "forum," Lin Yu didn't feel anything.

After all, Lin Yu had other identities and accounts he could use.

Moreover, after this incident, Lin Yu became even more certain that the forum seemed to have some kind of bug against him.

After joining the "Psychology Society" and being expelled from the "Forum," his Socializing ID as "Zhu Ming" automatically changed to "Clonazepam."

But...

This identity ID did not disappear, and even the forum assistant in the [Socializing] section did not disappear.

It's just that I can no longer access the forum using that "forum assistant".

"Could this be related to someone using Fu Luo's account to send me information about Fluoxetine?" Lin Yu couldn't help but ponder. "If the forum was created by some Deity... could it be that besides that Crow and the wine jug-head, there's a third Deity watching over me?"

Lin Yu had no idea.

After all, even if the other party is not Deity, they are probably not a simple character, far beyond what he can investigate and understand at his current level.

So...

"Let's focus on what we should be doing right now."

After clarifying his thoughts, Lin Yu stopped worrying.

He found a place and transformed "Zhu Ming's" appearance into that of "May".

Then...

Lin Yu stopped at a shopping mall on the way and bought some gifts, then headed straight for the area north of Jiang City, where Xia Yue's family lived.

Soon, Lin Yu, carrying large and small bags, knocked on Xia Yue's door again.

"Knock knock!"

Lin Yu stood quietly at the door, waiting.

This wasn't because he felt guilty or kept thinking about Xia Yue's somewhat miserable mother and sister.

Main reason...

It's also because Lin Yu is a dedicated Actor.

Now that he has to perform in front of a group of "Psychology Society" members, who may include professional Psychologist, Lin Yu believes that he needs to understand Xia Yue more deeply in order to make his immersive performance more realistic and without revealing any flaws.

Just like that hour-long conversation with "Rosenthal" yesterday.

While it might be enough to fool Rosenthal, or even just for an hour, what if they spent every day together?

Moreover, he is far from representing the highest level of the "Psychology Society"!

So...

Lin Yu needed more material—he needed to understand Xia Yue's life more deeply.

After I knocked, the door opened again.

This time, it wasn't Xia Yue's mother who opened the door, but rather the little girl, Xia Yang, whom she had met once before.

She stood behind the door, leaning against it, watching Lin Yu carrying a large pile of things.

"It's you."

The girl wasn't wearing her middle school uniform; instead, she was wearing loose, somewhat worn pajamas and spoke in a low voice.

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised that the other party still remembered him.

"Xia Yang, hello," he said with a smile, holding up what he was carrying. "I'm here to deliver some things... Isn't your mother home?"

"Mom's gone out," Xia Yang said softly. "Take your things back."

The little girl's voice was a bit hoarse and sounded weak.

Considering that the other person stayed home during the workday, Lin Yu could easily guess...

Are you sick?

He switched all the items to one hand, somewhat forcefully pushed open the door and entered the house, placed the items on the table, and then half-helped, half-lifted the little girl into the room.

"If you're sick, just rest and relax... I just happened to buy some pears, I'll make you some pear soup—your voice is so hoarse."

As Lin Yu spoke, he waved his hand, signaling her to hurry to the bedroom.

Xia Yang watched Lin Yu's figure, standing by the dining table without moving. She simply stared at Lin Yu calmly for a while before slowly speaking.

"I don't know who you are... but stop pretending to be a good guy."

Xia Yang spoke calmly.

Lin Yu turned his head and looked at the girl who looked seven or eight parts like Xia Yue in surprise—but compared to the gentle-looking Xia Yue, this girl with ear-length hair had sharper eyes and a strong sense of aggression.

"I know that my coming to your door like this might be a bit offensive, and Xiaoyue's departure must have been a blow to you too... but I just want to help you."

Lin Yu spoke sincerely, while Xia Yang supported the dining table with one hand.

"No, what I mean is... you must have something to do with my sister's death, right?"

The little girl spoke casually, and Lin Yu's hands stopped moving.

He looked at Xia Yang: "This is a very excessive accusation, Xia Yang."

"After my sister passed away, the Police returned her phone to us as part of her belongings," Xia Yang said calmly. "My mother and I took her phone back, and then... I cracked my sister's password."

"My sister loves documenting her life... but it's strange, Brother Lin, I've looked through her photo albums and Socializing media, but I haven't found any trace of you."

"So, who exactly are you?"

"Are you the murderer of my sister, or do you know something about her death?"

Xia Yang's words sent chills down Lin Yu's spine and made his hair stand on end.

Because Xia Yue was already dead, and given the ordinariness of Xia Yue's mother, Lin Yu almost completely overlooked...

Xia Yue's outstanding performance in the first Instance.

Even the Psychology Society gave Xia Yue an S-Rank potential rating!

Judging from this, her sister is definitely not simple either!

But thankfully...

Lin Yu had considered the potential flaws in his words during his first visit.

Therefore, the vulnerability can still be patched.

He wore a somewhat sad, melancholy, and weary expression.

"Because I'm not her friend... I'm her lover."

"Former lover."
