"Psychology Society"?
Hearing the name, Lin Yu understood.
Wasn't this the organization that had been banned from "accessing the forum," the one he had seen mentioned yesterday?
Sure enough, they were definitely up to no good!
Lin Yu silently slipped a hand into his clothes and hid the Infallible Revolver.
Even after returning to reality, the [Infallible Revolver] still had only one bullet—but the bullet count refreshed every day, unlike in the Instance, where there was only one bullet for the entire Game.
Lin Yu did not fire rashly, nor did he hastily reveal the revolver.
Although this guaranteed-hit bullet was incredibly powerful, there was a problem...
The other party had already introduced himself. He came from an organization.
And it was an organization specifically named by the "forum"!
This meant that the Psychology Society was not only very likely a bunch of bad people, but also quite well-known. They might even be large in scale and powerful.
Even if he took the worst-case scenario...
Aside from the unidentified man in black before him, their organization at least had the madman who had shot him to death earlier.
Therefore, Lin Yu decided to negotiate with the other party first.
"Who exactly are you people, and why did you try to kill me earlier?"
Lin Yu asked coldly.
The man in black laughed. "Kill you? No, no, no... Our purpose wasn't to make you die. It was to make you join the Death game!"
"According to the organization's 'evaluation,' you have great potential. Just as we expected, you were selected and even cleared the game successfully!"
"Our organization has always been dedicated to finding people with potential... People who have the ability to achieve extraordinary things in this Game but haven't yet been able to join it... We absolutely won't allow them to waste their talents."
Hearing the man in black speak excitedly, Lin Yu became even more certain that the people in this organization were mentally unsound.
"What a bunch of lunatics... No wonder the forum won't let you access it."
The man in black was extremely disdainful upon hearing Lin Yu's words.
"The forum? It's nothing more than a place where mediocre talents huddle together for warmth!"
"All right... We don't have much time either. To prevent those mediocrities from disturbing me, I'd better finish my task first."
As he spoke, the man in black looked at Lin Yu. "So, respected Mr. Lin Yu, what Profession did you awaken?"
The man in black looked toward Lin Yu.
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes. "Why should I tell you?"
Not to mention that he had awakened the Unique Profession "Fraudster," which he couldn't tell anyone about in the first place.
Even if Lin Yu had awakened some other Profession, he still had no intention of telling the man in black or the Psychology Society.
"Because this is also part of our further 'evaluation.' You'd better cooperate with us... Otherwise..."
The man in black drew a dagger from his waist.
"I'll have to force the answer out of you."
Looking at the sharp dagger flashing with cold light, Lin Yu instantly sensed danger again.
What would happen if a Player who had participated in the Death game was killed again in reality?
The answer was... instant death.
Thus, Lin Yu almost fired immediately.
But he suppressed the impulse.
The man in black before him was his only lead right now... This man couldn't die.
Besides, although he had drawn a dagger, it was probably meant more as a threat.
Therefore, Lin Yu spoke coldly.
"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to seeing you try!"
Lin Yu put away the revolver and bent down. With one hand, he picked up half a paving stone from the ground. On old streets like those in this district, many of the paving stones had cracked and come loose. A light pry was enough to pick one up.
Seeing Lin Yu's confident posture, the man in black was somewhat surprised.
"You don't seem very afraid of fighting me head-on? A brick has no advantage against a dagger. Besides, you don't even know my Profession, do you?"
"Your Profession doesn't matter, because I awakened the 'Soldier,' the Profession best suited for combat."
Lin Yu spoke.
He had already made his choice.
Facing this man in black whose background he knew nothing about, Lin Yu decided to pretend to be a "Soldier"!
After all, Yu Longguo's abnormal Combat Power had left a deep impression on Lin Yu.
Moreover, Lin Yu had looked over a summary of the abilities of common Professions yesterday. Among the common Professions, the one most suited for one-on-one combat was the "Soldier," which provided a comprehensive and substantial enhancement to physical attributes!
The man in black froze for a moment, then shook his head. "Impossible. Your real-life Profession and experiences have almost nothing to do with 'Soldier.' We investigated you. You're a university student..."
Lin Yu laughed.
"Looks like you never attended university. Don't you know that university students have to undergo military training?"
As he spoke, he weighed the brick in his hand without hesitation, then raised it level with his face.
"Watch closely, idiot... Even if you have a dagger, you still can't compare with the boost the 'Soldier' gives me!"
The man in black's expression shifted slightly.
Looking at the man in black, Lin Yu raised the arm holding the brick high. Without holding back at all, he suddenly smashed the brick toward his other arm.
And as the brick descended—
Lin Yu sensed that his previous words had "become true"!
At that instant, because of Lin Yu's crazy action, the man in black believed that he was a Soldier!
After all, if he really wasn't confident, how could he so decisively cripple one of his own arms before a fight with someone else?
That was also Lin Yu's goal.
He had deliberately raised the brick high to give the other party time to think and judge... Only then could "belief" arise in his heart!
As for his decisiveness and confidence, of course Lin Yu had acted them out.
And he had bet correctly.
As belief surged from the man in black...
At that moment, Lin Yu truly became a "Soldier"!
He instantly felt his physical attributes multiply. His entire body brimmed with strength, while he also felt incredibly light.
"Crack!"
The brick struck Lin Yu's forearm, bringing a faint sting of pain.
But his enhanced skin, muscles, and bones had greatly improved his resistance to blows. The brick only hurt a little when it landed, causing no serious harm!
The brick, on the other hand, shattered into two pieces against Lin Yu's arm.
Lin Yu looked at the man in black before him.
"All right, you know my Profession now."
"Since you just admitted that you and the guy who killed me came from the same organization... then it's reasonable for me to take revenge on you, right?"
As Lin Yu spoke, he clenched his fist.
"Now state your 'Profession.' Otherwise, don't blame me for forcing it out of you!"
Seeing Lin Yu's imposing presence, the man in black laughed as well.
"Heh, then I'll tell you. Although your Profession is 'Soldier,' the organization sent me to contact you because my Profession is naturally capable of handling a situation like this."
"Oh?"
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in black.
The man in black put away his dagger and pulled two pitch-black spheres from his body.
"Heh heh, didn't expect that, did you? My Profession may not be a Unique Profession, but it's still a relatively rare and powerful type!"
"My Profession is 'Ninja'—farewell, Lin Yu!"
As he spoke, the man in black smashed the two spheres onto the ground, and smoke rapidly billowed upward.
"Cough, cough!"
The choking smoke carried a faint spicy bite. Lin Yu's eyes began to tear up, and he felt a slight burning sensation in his nose and mouth.
After waving away the smoke, Lin Yu opened his eyes again, only to discover that the man in black had long since vanished!
Looking at the empty street beneath the vast night sky, Lin Yu was helpless.
"'Ninja'? If a Profession is related to one's 'experiences' in reality, how could anyone awaken a Profession like that?"
That guy just now didn't look Japanese either!
Could he have awakened it by playing the Naruto mobile game?
