The Expected Outcome
"To be frank, I know you've been hiding your true 'Profession'."
Inside the room, Li Hua tapped on the table and spoke to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu, sitting opposite Li Hua, remained relatively calm.
"It seems 'Order' is indeed all-powerful... You've already investigated my identity, haven't you?"
Lin Yu said calmly.
Li Hua nodded. "Yes, because you're in Jiang City, it's not difficult to investigate."
"Although conducting a survey in a megacity with tens of millions of people may seem like finding a needle in a haystack, because we are 'Order'... Once you have the 'database,' a simple screening based on your age and health status can narrow the scope down to almost a thousand people."
Lin Yu nodded.
"As expected, I'm still too conspicuous."
He said with a sigh.
If a large organization like "Order" wants to investigate him, "May May's" identity cannot be hidden.
"So, this case is more of a test and assessment of me, is that right?"
Lin Yu looked at Li Hua.
Li Hua did not deny it. "I still hope the case can be solved as soon as possible."
"But not solving the case isn't a big problem. What you really want to see is my ability... and my choices."
Lin Yu said softly.
"Because you knew from the beginning that this wasn't a Murder Case... While a 'Gambler' might not be capable of this, you are a 'Tier 3 Gambler.'"
Li Hua shook his head. "No, even at the 'Tier 3,' it's impossible... Besides, I've developed my abilities in a very balanced way."
"So I can only deduce from the observed 'probability' that this case will ultimately not have any too serious consequences."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "You're really Leng Jing, Leng Jing to the point of being cold-blooded."
Li Hua nodded. "But this organization also needs people like me— 'Order' needs ordinary people with good intentions like Good Night, reliable and mature Police like 'Gao Shan,' guys like 'Paper Kite' who are even a bit fanatical about justice, and guiding lights like 'General' and 'Grandmaster.'"
Similarly, I believe that "Order" also needs... you.
Li Hua said calmly.
Lin Yu was surprised. "I thought you came to persuade me to quit or to punish me... like putting me in confinement for a while."
Li Hua shook his head.
"You went to great lengths to conceal your identity and join 'Order,' which, by all accounts, seems like you had ulterior motives..."
"However, the most important thing in judging a person is what they do."
"Whether it was the time the 'Freedom Alliance' saved 'Gao Shan,' the earlier revenge against the 'Marauders,' or this case-solving, I can see that... you can become a backbone of 'Order,' and you agree with our 'Order's' ideals."
"So, I can give you a chance now... to tell me honestly why you've been hiding your identity and your true 'Profession'."
Lin Yu sighed, "Because... you're scared, aren't you?"
"Having joined this kind of Game, especially after being shot in the head, it's hard for me to trust any organization. So I'm thinking of keeping some trump cards up my sleeve."
Li Hua nodded. "I understand. How much can you say about your 'Profession'?"
"A 'Unique Profession' allows the use of other 'Profession' abilities, but with many limitations. Currently, only 'Doctor' and 'Soldier' can be used, and they cannot be used simultaneously."
"The 'Doctor' can use 'Tier 1' [Item]."
Lin Yu answered fluently.
Li Hua nodded. "It sounds like a weaker version of 'A'yu' from the 'Freedom Alliance'... Will you be allowed to pursue a new 'Profession' later?"
"Yes, but you need to complete the 'Tier Advancement' first."
As Lin Yu spoke, Li Hua pondered for a moment.
"Okay, I understand."
"This matter is currently known only to me and Headquarters. I will keep it a secret for you."
Lin Yu looked at Li Hua.
"Keep my secret? Sounds like the organization has a special mission for me?"
Li Hua nodded. "Yes... the position of Inspector for the East China Region is currently vacant."
"I hope that after you advance to the 'Tier 2,' you can come and ask me for this position."
Lin Yu looked at Li Hua: "The reason? I don't believe that 'Order' has reached the point where there's no one left to use!"
"The reason is similar to the internal situation of the 'Player Mutual Aid Society,' and various problems are now beginning to emerge within 'Order' as well... Examples like 'Paper Kite' are not uncommon."
"Whether it's Administrator and Captain General in various regions, or grassroots members, we need more reliable people."
Li Hua said calmly.
Lin Yu pursed his lips. "But it's too early to talk about that now. It's not even certain whether I can advance to the 'Tier 2' yet."
Li Hua pushed up his glasses. "That's true, so I was just mentioning it to you temporarily."
"And the final assessment?"
Lin Yu countered with a question.
Li Hua smiled, a rare occurrence. "Yes—so if Good Night asks about it later, just say it was me who inquired about the details of the 'Diviner' matter."
"Alright, you must be hungry after working so hard. Let's go eat."
As Li Hua spoke, he got up and escorted Lin Yu to the door.
After Lin Yu left, the room door closed.
Li Hua then took out his phone and made a call.
"Hello, is this the 'Secretary'?"
"I think your guess is correct."
"Although he meant no harm, he is certainly not alone."
But anyway...
"He should be able to join our side."
After closing the door and ending his conversation with Li Hua, Lin Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.
From the moment he met the "Diviner," Lin Yu knew...
If you were to enter the sights of Player at this level, you would inevitably reveal a lot about yourself.
The name "May May" is too famous.
This rootless duckweed with no past will be the subject of much suspicion if anyone investigates it even slightly—ultimately, they will find their own involvement.
Based on this... rather than passively waiting for them to find out about you, it's better to proactively expose your weaknesses.
Looking down from the perspective he set, even if they were exposed, they would only see what Lin Yu wanted them to see.
A slight shift in perspective can lead to vastly different conclusions.
So... Lin Yu took the gamble.
"May May" has not passed, but Lin Yu, who has S-Rank potential, has also failed to demonstrate the potential he should have.
Let's just merge them again then.
However, this time, after the two identities were merged, Lin Yu clearly knew that this still could not explain many of the behaviors of the "May May" identity all along.
So--
They will surely arrive at a new conclusion, one that Lin Yu had anticipated.
"The next step is to maintain the mystery."
"And... find the guy lurking among me."
