Dissatisfied

The Seagull opened its beak wide, as if trying to argue its point.

But in the end, he had no choice.

"What kind of mess is this? Who would have thought that all five of them were murderers... Now I'm the only one left, and I'm definitely too suspicious."

"I knew I shouldn't have had that wicked thought."

He sighed and looked at Li Hua dejectedly.

How are you going to punish me?

Li Hua waved the golden Carrot in his hand. "It depends on how you originally planned to use this thing."

The Seagull tentatively spoke up, "I was actually planning to keep it for Carrot..."

Li Hua continued to look at him without saying anything.

Seagull sighed, "Alright, alright... Although my first thought was indeed to keep this dangerous thing safe for him, I was indeed blinded by selfishness later on."

"As you know, my activities are mainly confined to the 'Black Marsh' realm. I plan to use this thing to control the 'Fallen Tribe'," Seagull sighed. "We Night Watcher are just too poor."

Li Hua said calmly, "Then let's make it even poorer. I'll fine you 3,000 Forum Points and then confine you in the outer area for two weeks... I'll write a report when I get back, and you can go to your city's Captain General to collect it."

The Seagull raised its paw. "Alright, alright, thank you for going easy on me."

Lin Yu listened with great curiosity. "Solitary confinement? How is it solitary confinement? Are you going to a detention center?"

"Of course not," Fu Luo explained in a low voice, "How could you, as a member of 'Order,' not know this?"

"Because my boss is Good Night," Lin Yu pointed to the Korea man who was secretly scrolling through short videos on his phone, frantically clicking the heart button on a skinny, young, dancing streamer, "He didn't give me a complete introduction to the business... Of course, I can't entirely blame him, after all, he was only recently discharged from the hospital."

Fu Luo was speechless, so he explained to Lin Yu, "In short, when 'Order' arrests people, some of them don't deserve to die, so naturally there are options like fines and jail time."

"Fines will result in deducting Forum Points; City Administrator have the authority to do this."

"As for 'going to jail'... that was something the 'General' came up with."

"He reached an agreement with the God of Fairness and Judgment and obtained a special [Item], which is in the form of a regular [Extra Instance Entry Card]... But once inside, he is teleported to the 'God of Judgment's' 'Eternal Prison,' and can only be released when the time is up."

"Depending on the severity of the crime, the time and the place of entry are uncertain... The outer layer is the simplest, nothing but pitch black, and the guards will give you food."

"If it's the inner layer or the core, then we're in for a lot of trouble!"

Fu Luo spoke, Lin Yu nodded.

"So that's how it is..."

The "Order" function is quite comprehensive.

No wonder the "General" was able to establish an organization to maintain Order among the Player; he actually had a way to deal with "disciplined Player"!

As expected, the top spot on the Rankings is not to be underestimated.

Thinking about this, Lin Yu felt both fortunate and terrified.

It's incredibly difficult to escape unscathed after running into a "Diviner" in the last Instance!

"I still need to keep getting stronger."

While Lin Yu was pondering this, the Seagull, having received its punishment, slunk away from the room.

Li Hua coughed a few times. "Alright, now that the thief has been caught and there's no murderer in this case... let's put this matter to rest."

"While I don't approve of your actions,... there has been no violation of discipline."

As he spoke, Huang crossed her arms over her chest.

"You mean, this matter is over?"

"Of course not. I will write a report on this matter and submit it, and I will also publicize the entire process and inform those in the know. I will also probably urge the 'Player Mutual Aid Society' to elect a new leader," Li Hua said calmly. "I just won't hold you accountable, but this matter is not over."

Upon hearing Li Hua's words, Hundred Refined Steel was the first to react.

"Hey, Li Hua... aren't you just trying to make Carrot's arrangements go to waste?"

"If his efforts don't go to waste, the entire Player community will be in serious turmoil," Li Hua pushed up his glasses. "Moreover, the existence of the 'Player Mutual Aid Society' is indeed meaningful."

"Just as the 'Hunter Society' supplements the 'Forum' with bounty and trading methods, the 'Player Mutual Aid Society,' a public platform, is also a good platform for exchanging strategies and information. Its existence is valuable... Therefore, based on the standpoint and perspective of 'Order,' I cannot allow it to become unstable and chaotic."

He said coldly.

"Of course, this doesn't represent the final plan... I'll still wait for Headquarters' approval before taking action, but I believe they will approve my plan."

For a moment, the five people in the room who were involved in the Carrot incident were speechless.

Even Paper Kite, who was also a member of "Order," didn't look too good.

Paper Kite looked at Li Hua and sighed, "Brother Li, I finally understand what 'Secretary' meant when he said you're the most like a member Order 'Order'."

"You really... have no feelings at all? Grandpa Radish is a good person, and what he did might be beneficial to all the Player!"

"Whether he's a good person or not has nothing to do with him," Li Hua pushed up his glasses. "As a member of 'Order,' and even a former Inspector of East China, you should be able to make the right judgment..."

"No, your statement just now gave you away; you were indeed right."

"You yourself said it was 'possibly'..."

Have you considered how potentially harmful this could be?

"Carrot is kind, but he really misjudged this matter—in fact, if he had foreseen Cassia Seed's death, he might have changed his mind!"

Li Hua said firmly.

Paper Kite blushed, and finally lowered her head. "Okay!"

Hundred Refined Steel patted him on the shoulder.

From the crowd, Kres spat, "Damn it, all you pretentious bastards. That's why I say I really hate dealing with you 'Order' people."

"I understand that you are either Administrator, members of the 'Order' or the 'Hunter Society', but I am Bounty Hunter."

"Gambler, remember this: I will see this through to the end!"

After saying that, Kres turned and left the room.

His departure seemed to signal an unpleasant ending.

Huang sighed, and then left with King Ming and Kres.

Although neither of them expressed a stance, it seemed as if they were silently protesting Li Hua's actions.

Next up are the Hundred Refined Steel and the lotus flower.

In an instant, only Fu Luo, a non-"Order" member, remained in the room.

Good Night scratched his head. "Xi Ba, Li Hua, did you have to say it so harshly? Look how angry Paper Kite is!"

"Because there is no room for negotiation in this matter."

As Li Hua spoke, he looked at Lin Yu.

"Alright, Good Night, Paper Kite, you two take Sherlock and leave first."

"I have something to say to May May separately."
