Fearful Interrogation

Without a doubt, after learning the exact location of "Black Snake" from Saint Orchid Kui and that tonight was the day he and several other middlemen from the City That Never Sleeps regularly gathered to "have fun," Lin Yu decided to set off immediately to find "Black Snake."

Finding this middleman wasn't difficult, but in order to achieve his goal, Lin Yu still devised a rather ingenious "entrance performance."

The performance was a great success, and it basically achieved Lin Yu's design goal: to make the well-informed "middleman" Black Snake develop "fear" of him in the shortest possible time.

It was enough to make him betray a Royal Nobles's fear.

The ability to become invisible upon entering a room and evade attacks, the decisiveness to kill two people casually while chatting and laughing...

Those two points are enough.

After all, a mere middleman isn't exactly a tough guy.

All that's needed next is a touch of "unpredictable" madness to completely shatter Black Snake's psychological defenses.

Lin Yu wiped the blood off the [Targeting Dagger] on the bed sheet, then sat down between the two middlemen from the City That Never Sleeps...

I watched Comedy with them.

Watching the Actor' superb acting skills, even a simple "falling chair" could be portrayed as comical and natural, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh heartily from the bottom of his heart.

"It's a really good movie. The screenwriter and Director are very skilled, and most importantly, the Actor's performances are all superb. Each one of them has put a lot of effort into their craft," Lin Yu never hesitated to praise other excellent Actor. "Whoever chose this movie has excellent taste."

He looked at the two intermediaries—the one on the left with the lip piercing was Black Snake —and cautiously began, "That one, Rose chose... it's him."

Black Snake pointed to the dead bald man.

Lin Yu stared at the corpse for a moment, then sighed, "What a pity, they acted too quickly... If I had known they had such discerning taste in film selection, I should have spared their lives."

He spoke so calmly, as if he were truly very regretful.

But without a doubt, after saying this, Black Snake and the other middleman naturally felt he was even more dangerous!

After all...

Who in their right mind would decide a person's life or death based on their personal likes or dislikes of a movie?

Only someone with a profound indifference to human life would utter such words, linking "life and death" with "film taste."

In particular, the natural and self-assured tone in Lin Yu's voice was enough to send chills down one's spine.

The two middlemen watched silently as the end credits rolled and the film ended.

Then, Lin Yu spoke again.

"Alright, the movie's over, let's get down to business... Mr. Black Snake, is that right?"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the Black Snake immediately spoke up.

"Yes, yes, what can I do for you?"

Lin Yu calmly said, "You recently posted a very dangerous commission for someone, are you aware of that?"

Black Snake cautiously began, "I... most of the commissions I post every day are quite 'dangerous,' after all, I have a very good reputation in Gray Street Three in the Outer City, so... many important figures are willing to come to me."

Lin Yu chuckled softly.

"Really? You can't remember?"

He still had a smile on his face, but he took out a lens in his hand.

Black Snake looked at Lin Yu, who was playing with the mirror, with suspicion and uncertainty, wondering what this mysterious person was planning.

Lin Yu flipped the lens between his fingers and then spoke in a low voice, "Oh, oh... Black Snake, or rather Mr. An—although the official records show you have no relatives, you've been raising your biological sister in Apartment in the Inner City —and to prevent anyone from finding out, you've even found several lovers to make it seem like she's just one of your many lovers."

"What a meticulous mind! What a pity..."

Lin Yu spoke softly.

He didn't really understand interrogation—although he had established "fear," Lin Yu admitted that he wasn't professional enough at guiding that fear.

Fortunately, he had the [Fear Lens].

Because "fear" is a skill that has been almost completely lost since the passing of Will Valetti and his mentor Professor Dort, even the people of the City That Never Sleeps have little understanding of it or any means of protecting themselves against it.

Such a cheat-like Item, which can directly reveal a person's deepest "fears," is of immense help in interrogation!

As expected, Black Snake's expression Cataclysm upon hearing this.

"I... I really don't know, Your Excellency!"

"Ha, ha, that's not the answer I'm looking for," Lin Yu said with a cold laugh. "My understanding is limited, Mr. Black Snake... Dream City Apartment —do you need me to give you a more specific apartment number?"

Cold sweat streamed down the Black Snake's face.

When a person is gripped by extreme fear, their potential, including their Memory, is unleashed.

"You... you mean the B-12?"

"Think about it again."

Lin Yu said calmly,

"C-35... wait, it's A-06, right? The Saint Orchid Family's butler was assassinated tonight. I just received the news. Is this why you've come?!"

"Black Snake said in a panic."

Lin Yu spoke with interest, "Ha, tonight's A-06 does indeed pique my interest... However, that's not my main purpose, continue."

Seeing the Black Snake's disheveled appearance, Lin Yu showed a look of disappointment.

"You don't actually know nothing, do you, Black Snake?"

The seemingly fierce man, who had spent years humiliating himself in the Outer City, was almost crying with fear, "Please, sir... please don't hurt my sister. You can kill me, but don't hurt her."

The Black Snake immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Friend, Leng Jing down. What you're saying is very irresponsible," Lin Yu said calmly. "Even if I don't hurt her, if you die here, a beautiful young woman with no backing, and someone you've protected for over ten years living alone in the City That Never Sleeps, that's worse than them dying."

"Does she have permanent residency in the Inner City? Or will she have to move to the Outer City?"

"So... for your sister's sake, try to think of something, don't beg me—tell me what you need to know, and I will let you live."

Lin Yu spoke coldly, and the Black Snake raised its head, its lips trembling.

But his eyes lit up at that moment.

"I understand, I understand... It's C-77, right? It's C-77's commission!"

"That... I knew something was off about that request!"

As the Black Snake spoke, it watched Lin Yu nod with a smile.

"Yes, C-77 commissioned, congratulations."

Black Snake breathed a sigh of relief, but then tensed up again.

"You... you want to know about Commission C-77, is that right? I'll tell you everything I know!"

"That commission was very unusual; as the middleman... I didn't know its contents."

Lin Yu rested his chin on his hand.

"It's alright, just tell me everything you know about this commission."
