Lin Yu allowed the Hongmeng System to infiltrate the Exiled World's system and began to continue investigating the matter.
According to the description in the notebook, a large area in this vicinity has fallen under the influence of some extremely mysterious force.
Lin Yu also searched around the hotel where he was last night, but did not get any reliable information.
Fortunately, he hadn't held out much hope anyway, since according to the records in the notebook, the surrounding area should have been affected by that particular event.
Unfortunately, after searching for a while, the Hongmeng System still couldn't find any useful information.
There are indeed missing persons in this area, but the number is only a dozen or so, which does not match the scene described in the notebook at all.
At this point, Lin Yu could only guess that the current situation was either that the management of the Exiled World had collectively fallen and completely covered up the matter.
Either the management of the Exiled World has completely resolved the matter and used some extremely special method to make most of the people who experienced it lose their memories of it.
No matter how Lin Yu looked at it, he felt that the former was much more likely.
After all, the Exiled World is a mixed bag, and based on Lin Yu's current investigation, there doesn't seem to be any high-level magical artifact capable of erasing so many people's memories without leaving a trace.
The more he searched, the more perplexing the whole matter seemed, and Lin Yu's brows furrowed deeply.
Since no information could be found regarding this matter, Lin Yu could only focus his search on the surrounding area.
His only remaining hope now lies in the contents of his notebook, which records that the area around the hotel has also been severely affected by the attack.
However, after the Hongmeng System searched for an entire morning, Lin Yu found nothing.
"It's perfectly normal. Everyone is doing things that conform to their code of conduct. No one is anything special." Lin Yu stroked his chin, pondering.
According to the notes in the notebook, these people should have already fallen into darkness.
"Aside from the possibility that the notebook's author is a complete madman, if the people around him are truly influenced by some force, then what's the point of that force doing this?"
"After infecting so many people, why are you delaying further action and just maintaining their daily lives? What was the point of all that high-profile infection control before?"
Lin Yu frowned.
" Hongmeng System! Has your search been detected?" Lin Yu asked.
He considered the possibility that what he was currently perceiving as "everything normal" might just be a facade.
If that mysterious force can truly detect the existence of the Hongmeng System, then it's not impossible that it would create this illusion to conceal its true purpose!
"Respected host, according to the classification of the exiled world, no one here should be able to detect the existence of this system," the Hongmeng System replied respectfully.
For beings banished to this world, the Hongmeng System is undoubtedly a highly advanced system.
In lower-level worlds, some higher-level creatures become undetectable and unpredictable; this has become common knowledge among beings in fantasy worlds.
The Exile World is merely a second-tier fantasy world, where the beings naturally cannot detect the existence of the Hongmeng System.
Just as Lin Yu was lost in his own thoughts, a jarring ringtone interrupted his train of thought; it was a call from Mortis.
I can't believe this guy actually dared to call.
Lin Yu chuckled knowingly, then answered the phone and asked directly, "What's up?"
"Young man, we just had drinks yesterday, why are you being so formal?" Mortis's grinning voice came over.
"To be honest, we weren't that familiar to begin with," Lin Yu said casually.
Considering his previous actions, Mortis is certainly not a good person.
However, Moti's next sentence made Lin Yu raise his eyebrows slightly.
"Young man, weren't you curious about the inside story of the riot? I investigated it thoroughly for you when I got back, and as the saying goes, 'Heaven helps those who help themselves,' I've finally made some progress! I wonder if you'd like to know more!"
Seeing the change in Lin Yu's expression, Moti nodded with satisfaction.
He could tell yesterday that Lin Yu was unusually curious about that matter.
For a wealthy person like him, it's not difficult to be generous in order to get the information he wants.
"Of course, but this costs extra..." Mortis said, gesturing with his hand.
Seeing Mortis's money-grubbing smile, Lin Yu gradually realized what was going on. "You found out about this so quickly? Even the management of the Exiled World is completely baffled by this matter. Where did you get this information from?"
Lin Yu pressed Mortis for answers.
The Hongmeng System ran for a whole morning without any results. How could Mo Tixi, with his extraordinary abilities, have uncovered the information simply by listening to my brief mention and continuing my investigation?
If Mortis's next answer is based on official information, then it goes without saying that he is deceiving Lin Yu.
He just wanted to rip off Lin Yu because Lin Yu was rich, treating him like a sucker.
This matter remains shrouded in mystery for Lin Yu even after so much time has passed, and he is currently in the worst mood. If Mo Tixi were to lie to Lin Yu's trap.
Lin Yu wouldn't let Motixi off so easily; he was determined to teach him a lesson.
However, Mortis's next words pulled Lin Yu back from his wandering thoughts.
That's a long story.
Lin Yu's face turned cold as he looked at Mo Tixi's feigned mystery. "I advise you to think carefully. You might not be able to afford the price you pay for deceiving me!"
Seeing Lin Yu's cold expression, Motixi shivered uncontrollably, a feeling of "fear" spreading through him.
"Young man, I, Mortis, know your abilities better than anyone. I would never lie to you. Anyway, if you're curious about the source of your information... I'll tell you in a bit anyway, so let's just get straight to the point now!"
"As you said earlier, there are no official records of these kinds of messages, and even through lower-level channels, it's difficult to obtain any information."
"So, after thinking about it, Timothy decided to start with the rebels! In the current situation, only the rebels know a little about the real situation."
As Mortis spoke earnestly, Lin Yu asked again with doubt, "You even have connections with the resistance?"
