At this moment, Good Night felt only endless Regret.

Why did you have to say that for no reason?

Although most of those who join "Order" and rise to the middle and upper levels are upright people who are righteous and hope to establish and maintain "Order".

However, there are differences between different kinds of justice.

Good Night joined "Order" simply hoping to help others as much as she could within her capabilities.

The fact that his awakened "Profession" is "Corporate Slave" also shows that Good Night's self-positioning and self-awareness are not very crucial.

Whether it's confronting an overly powerful enemy or resolving a troublesome incident, in Good Night's view, these things are beyond his capabilities and should be avoided as much as possible.

So...

Can I pretend I didn't hear about this?

He looked at Lin Yu and asked sincerely.

Finding the mole within "Order" was, in Good Night's view, far beyond his capabilities.

Lin Yu smiled slightly in response to Good Night's request.

"Of course not."

He told Good Night all this in order to drag Good Night into the mess.

"I will report the truth to Li Hua," Lin Yu said, looking at Good Night. "Now, Captain... you have no choice but to investigate this route with me."

Good Night sighed, "Alright, alright... why don't you drag Paper Kite into this? Although we're both 'Tier 3,' isn't his 'assassin' more useful than me, this 'Corporate Slave'? Besides, he's fiercely opposed to evil, and he's currently in a semi-demoted state, eager to redeem himself..."

Lin Yu shook his head. "I don't trust him."

Although so far, Paper Kite seems to have no problems, Lin Yu's past record of murder makes him unsure whether Paper Kite can truly be trusted.

After all...

Their strong sense of justice and the current disciplinary action they've taken could very well be reasons Paper Kite 've turned against the government and become disloyal.

Lin Yu believed that with "Order's" capabilities and those screening and evaluation processes, they should be able to screen out at least 99% of the "bad guys" before they even joined, if not all of them.

Therefore, if there really is a mole within the "Order," Lin Yu believes that this "mole" is more likely to have "betrayed" their original self after joining rather than being planted from the beginning.

Furthermore, their "betrayal" may not necessarily be due to coercion or inducement leading to depravity and corruption; it could simply be a descent into extremes.

Therefore... the more someone like Paper Kite seems to be full of justice, even more genuine than ordinary members of "Order," the more likely they are to betray "Order."

After all, once selected, many members of "Order" wouldn't betray the organization for personal gain... but what about those who are driven by their beliefs?

They initially joined "Order" and agreed with the organization's beliefs, but as time went on, they discovered that the organization did not meet their expectations, or they grew through the "Death game," and their own thoughts changed a lot. It is possible that this ultimately led them to become "traitors" and betray "Order."

This is why Lin Yu chose Good Night —based on their interactions over this period, he realized that people like Good Night are the most reliable and would never "betray" him.

Rather than trusting his conscience, it's better to trust his courage and character—how could someone who shares short videos with himself on WeChat every day possibly betray a reasonably well-paying organization for personal gain or beliefs?

Good Night, having reached the "Tier 3," wasn't stupid. Hearing Lin Yu's words, he silently sighed.

"Alright, you helped me gain political merit last time with the Sea City incident, so I'll help you out this time..."

"Anyway, if this succeeds, my status will likely rise even higher."

At this point, Good Night pondered for a moment, "So, after reviewing everyone's information in Jiang City, did you have any suspects?"

Lin Yu nodded. "Not yet, but... I do have a general idea and direction for how to conduct the investigation."

Good Night, as Lin Yu's superior and the future "Order" leader in Jiang City, was acting like a hands-off manager who listened to Lin Yu completely.

"Please elaborate, what tasks do I need to assist you with?"

"We really need your help, Captain Good Night," Lin Yu said, stroking his chin. "Please inform the higher-ups and have us draft an application. Our Jiang City branch is preparing to launch a crackdown on those illegal organizations and Player. We hope that other 'Order' branches in other cities can also follow suit and cooperate to carry out a large-scale cleanup to improve the current Game environment. We hope the higher-ups will approve it."

As Lin Yu spoke, Good Night was stunned.

"You've gone this far?"

"The problem is... what will you do if it actually gets approved?"

"I can't possibly inform Li Hua, the head of the Central China Region, or even the 'Secretary' in advance that this is a fake news report about catching an insider, can I?"

Lin Yu was puzzled by Good Night's words. "When did I say this was fake news? This is an action that needs approval from above and is actually going to be carried out."

Good Night looked at Lin Yu with a look of utter disbelief. "So, what are you planning to do now that the higher-ups have approved? Do you know why we haven't wiped out those organizations yet?"

"It's definitely not that they can't beat them, so they must be unable to find them and are hesitant to act, right?"

Lin Yu said calmly.

"Yes, 'Order' cannot fight them in the city. If things get out of control, we can't afford the consequences."

"What if I could find their more remote strongholds? After all, these organizations are afraid of their location being exposed, so they often set up strongholds in the suburbs as well," Lin Yu said calmly. "Besides, even the strongholds in the city... as long as we can accurately know how many people are there and what their strength is, we can carry out point-to-point clearing operations, and it shouldn't get out of control."

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Good Night laughed, "If you really have that ability, then of course you can write an application, but... how is that possible?"

Seeing the determined look on Lin Yu's face, Good Night Ye's smile gradually faded.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, do I look like someone who likes to joke around?"

Lin Yu countered Good Night's question.

"Where is the source of this information?"

Good Night finally realized the seriousness of the situation—if what Lin Yu said was true, then what he was about to do would involve almost everyone in the entire Player community, a major event that would make all Player feel the earthquake.

A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face.

"If there are traitors within 'Order,' why can't we recruit people from other organizations to become traitors ourselves?"

Then, Lin Yu paused.

"A mole doesn't sound very nice—anyway, I know a guy who has connections in various organizations; he might be able to become our informant."
