"Is the conclusion Error, and are there any key omissions?"

Hearing the God of Change give him an "85 points" rating, Lin Yu wasn't particularly happy; instead, he frowned slightly.

In other words...

Isn't this Profession "Fraudster" a result of Deity intervention?

Also, what was omitted?

Lin Yu was somewhat curious.

What did I miss? And what is the real answer?

Lin Yu looked at the gray Crowman.

The latter smiled and shook his head.

"You'll have to explore that for yourself in the future..."

"Don't be too greedy, Lin Yu. You're already way ahead of everyone else by learning about the roles of 'potential' and 'Deity' in this Game in the second Instance."

"If this continues, they'll start to complain."

Before Lin Yu could press for further questions, the Crowman changed the subject.

"Alright, Lin Yu —you answered the first 'Reward and Punishment Question' correctly, so there will naturally be a reward."

"Now, you can ask me about 'someone's hidden secret,' which can be any secret of anyone."

Upon hearing this reward, Lin Yu couldn't help but scoff.

"So you were watching the whole first Instance, huh...?"

This is clearly the same ability he claimed to possess when he played the "Detective" role in his first Instance.

The real "Detective" doesn't actually possess this ability.

Lin Yu muttered to himself, then looked at the Crowman.

Can I choose you?

"Sorry, I am not 'someone,' I am Deity."

The God of Change rejected Lin Yu.

Lin Yu wasn't surprised by the answer, "Alright, let me think about it..."

If we're talking about Lin Yu from before, this question wouldn't have been so easy to answer.

After all, his social circle was very simple, and Lin Yu didn't have any voyeuristic desire to pry into the secrets of his relatives and classmates.

But now, Lin Yu actually has two people he wants to investigate.

One is the "Bu Wang" thing we just encountered.

Another...

Naturally, she is the "murderer" who killed Lin Yu, that mysterious "junior."

Lin Yu knew that the other party was likely from the "Psychology Society" and that killing him might be because they had seen his "potential".

However, Lin Yu knew very little about her or what kind of person she was.

As for "Bu Wang"...

Lin Yu spent an entire Instance with her and had begun to understand some of the personality traits and characteristics of this quirky, eccentric girl.

Her Profession "thief" likely stemmed from her mischievous personality and kleptomania.

Her true identity should be that of a wealthy heiress in Jiang City —her windbreaker and sneakers were both expensive brand-name items, and the black windbreaker was even made of cut-resistant material.

She should still be in high school, and her grades should be pretty good. She should also be a well-behaved girl in front of her parents. She "Bu Wang" that when she's holding Utility knife, her hand unconsciously moves like she's holding a pen, and the calluses on her fingers haven't faded yet.

With this information, Lin Yu felt he could uncover some Spider Silk about Bu Wang's identity even without asking Shen Bingmiao for help.

But...

Lin Yu still prefers to apply this question to "Bu Wang".

Even if the "junior's" real identity is unknown, Lin Yu is at least basically clear about the organization she belongs to as a "Player" and her purpose in killing him.

The opponent seems quite strong, so there's no rush for Revenge.

But...

Lin Yu had no idea what "Bu Wang" was after in approaching him, or which organization it belonged to.

That's right, even though a Lie Detector was used in the end, Lin Yu still didn't believe what "Bu Wang" said.

This "thief" is also adept at Lying with Truth.

The number of Instance she cleared might be correct, but she definitely didn't approach him without a purpose or purely for fun.

From the moment Lin Yu first saw the notes left on the bicycles and shared bikes stolen by "Bu Wang," he clearly realized one thing...

This is an "assessment".

Even though "Bu Wang" really enjoys playing pranks, everything she does to herself...

The sense of "evaluation" used to test one's own reactions is just too intense!

In particular, this guy left almost immediately after the "ninja".

As a seasoned Player, how could she not recognize the "ninja's" smoke?

Therefore, even if Lin Yu wasn't sure whether this was a "test" or an "evaluation," or whether someone was secretly observing him...

Out of caution, he still acted as if he was irritable, easily angered, and completely being played.

Furthermore, Lin Yu later solidified his persona and demonstrated his abilities as a "soldier".

And as it turns out...

Lin Yu's guess at the time was correct.

After encountering "Bu Wang" in this Instance, it turned out that the opponent knew his "Soldier" Profession beforehand.

This proves that... the other party was indeed observing me in secret!

Therefore, Lin Yu was even less likely to believe that the other party's arrival in this Instance was a coincidence!

As mentioned in the forum, there are many Item that allow people to "team up" and participate in the same Instance.

Therefore, it's not impossible that there are Item that allow someone to "join a specific Player's Instance."

Even though "Bu Wang" mentioned "Heavenly Artisan" at the end, Lin Yu still believed...

The goal we "Bu Wang" is absolutely ourselves.

The reason is simple: you can tell from the accent of "Heavenly Artisan" that he's from the Northwest.

"Bu Wang" to steal his things was probably just a convenient excuse.

In fact, it was precisely because of this intentional or unintentional misleading "Bu Wang" that Lin Yu became even more convinced that the other party was very likely targeting him.

Therefore, Lin Yu further demonstrated his "persona" in this Instance by interacting with "Bu Wang".

Building upon the previously established "irritable" persona, traits such as "skilled at solving puzzles, vengeful, and extremely arrogant" have been developed.

But no matter how he disguised or concealed himself, Lin Yu became even more uneasy when he realized that there might be other organizations besides the "Psychology Society" that were watching him.

After all, the phrase "Bu Wang" she used didn't come from the "Psychology Society"; it was a truth verified by Lie Detector.

After much deliberation, Lin Yu decided to inquire about the matter of "Bu Wang".

He cannot maintain this facade of "the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light" indefinitely.

Therefore, Lin Yu looked at the gray Crowman and spoke.

"I want to ask about the secret of the Player whose Profession is 'Thief' in this Game... What exactly was her purpose in approaching me?"

The God of Change laughed.

"I knew there was an 80% chance you'd ask her... But that guy was really interesting; he even tried to steal something from me before he left."

"Let me tell you, she's a member of the 'Freedom Alliance.' She used Item to join this Instance in order to assess whether you were suitable to join the 'Freedom Alliance'!"
