  • Lin Yu returned to the Psychology Society’s bar in Shenzhen as Schreiber, where Skinner warned him that he should not have come.
  • Skinner accused Lin Yu of unnecessarily killing Potassium Chloride, while Lin Yu challenged the Society’s current policies and defended his approach to trials.
  • While Skinner made him a Piña Colada, Lin Yu argued that Potassium Chloride had reached his limit and needed an intense trial to break through toward Tier 4.

Ch. 1854You know the rules: if you want it, come and take it yourself!

Ch. 1855Star teacher Schreiber

Ch. 1857She seemed to know you

The Second Generation Freud claimed that Old Zheng had deliberately identified and cultivated powerful Players long before founding the Psychology Society, but Lin Yu saw that her evidence only showed possible connections. Her detailed knowledge of Old Zheng’s past left Lin Yu and Old Zheng suspecting that she had known him during an ordinary stretch of his life.

  • Lin Yu released Old Zheng and insisted they urgently investigate Second Generation "Freud's" identity and relationship with Zheng Jianshen.

  • Fluoxetine told Old Zheng that he already had an answer about Second Generation Freud but was afraid to face it.

Ch. 1861Fluorvosamine, the Authority of Life

Lin Yu and Fu Luo questioned Old Zheng about the second-generation “Freud,” and Old Zheng identified the missing “Fluorvosamine” as the likeliest match.

Lin Yu, Old Zheng, Fu Luo, and Fluoxetine pieced together that the Second Generation Freud was Fluorvosamine, who had transformed after gaining Soul Authority and taken on Old Zheng’s identity as her model. They concluded she had remained a Hooligan and only pretended to be a Scholar, leaving Old Zheng to defend his influence on her.

  • Fu Luo suggested Fluorvosamine might have a Unique Profession, but Old Zheng insisted she had genuinely told him she was a Hooligan.

  • Lin Yu recognized that Fluorvosamine had copied Old Zheng’s appearance and habits to establish herself as his rightful successor, then accused Old Zheng of ruining a perfectly good girl.
  • Old Zheng apologized before arguing that Fluorvosamine had already been a delinquent before she became his patient.

Ch. 1863A female ghost at the door

Lin Yu returned to the International Convention Center to report his findings to Order, but Pen Name intercepted him and revealed she had seen through Paper Kite’s disguise.

Ch. 1865Fengling Ferry

  • Zuo Xi warned Lin Yu that Fluoxetine's past had been deliberately erased and that even Order had few reliable records of her.

  • Secretary turned the meeting to the intelligence Lin Yu had brought back from the Prison Mountain Realm.

Ch. 1868The General's duty

Order’s leaders debated the Diviner’s plan to bring the Emperor into Shenzhen and refused to abandon the city’s residents. They agreed that relocating Shenzhen’s population could be a last resort, while the General remained unable to help because he was occupied with a mission vital to the world’s safety.

  • Lin Yu learned that Order would not target Cold Cicada, but he had brought the Emperor and the Marauders to the leaders’ attention, making Copper Furnace’s existence likely to surface.

Lin Yu learned that General had been secretly sealing a passage between the Real World and the Divine Realm, then explained his plan to impersonate Senior Sister and borrow the God of Games and Rules’ authorities for the crisis in Shenzhen. He intended to use Zhu Ming’s help and Exclusive item to make the borrowed powers appear as though he commanded them, but the plan remained untested.

  • Gu Mo told Lin Yu that the Reality Loophole connected the Real World to the Divine Realm and that General kept it sealed, so the truth had been kept secret to prevent panic.
  • Gu Mo explained why Lin Yu had been trusted with the information, citing Shen Bingmiao, Old Du, General, and his own confidence in Lin Yu’s resolve.

  • Gu Mo questioned Lin Yu about Zhu Ming’s exclusive item, and Lin Yu explained that its crafting required three willingly offered, high-ranking Soul Fragments tied to powerful emotions.
  • Lin Yu explained that the item linked Zhu Ming and her Summoned Creatures, letting him borrow them, including a fallen Deity, and combine their power with other beings to gain a Divine Rank capable of wielding Authority.

Lin Yu convinced Gu Mo to report Zhu Ming’s Tier 3 advancement and Exclusive item, [A Brand-New Name and Home], to Order’s allied organizations. When Zhu Ming asked Tengshe to share the same information with the Night Watcher, he complied but began to suspect she was trying to turn him against his organization.

  • Lin Yu explained that Zhu Ming wanted information about her new Exclusive item made public, and Gu Mo agreed to update Order’s records.
  • Carrier Pigeon posted Tengshe’s report that the Beast Master had reached Tier 3 and crafted [A Brand-New Name and Home], prompting questions from Night Watcher members.
  • Tengshe ignored the group’s requests for an explanation because Zhu Ming herself had supplied the information and asked him to share it.
  • Tengshe wondered whether Zhu Ming had engineered the disclosure to make the Night Watcher distrust him and rope him into joining the outlaws.

Ch. 1873[Exclusive item], crafting complete!

  • Chongming privately asked Carrier Pigeon whether the intelligence about the Beast Master could be false, and Carrier Pigeon reassured her that Order had independently confirmed it.
  • Order’s Professor and Secretary cross-checked Gu Mo’s information and decided to circulate it to their branches and frontline personnel in Shenzhen.
  • Lin Yu gathered belief from the Night Watchers and Order, then used Make It Real to create the crafting requirements for [A Brand-New Name and Home] rather than the item itself.
  • Lin Yu recognized that Meng Qingjun’s [Heavenly Fox White Tail] could provide a Soul Fragment containing the pain of parting and touched by Authority.
  • Lin Yu asked Old Zheng for a Soul Fragment containing unfulfilled longing, and Old Zheng quickly sent him one.

As Shenzhen’s battle approached, he prepared to confront the mole in 'Order' himself, while Captain Good Night was left to command the others.
