Chapter 1403 He drowned before the New Year!
After completely defeating Schreiber's clone, the members of "Order" took a short break and then resumed their respective tasks.
Ren Gu went to negotiate with the two "Night Watchmen" and announced that the murderer had been found. After having them notarize the case, he went to announce the matter to the "Player Mutual Aid Association" and commend "Ginkgo" for her bravery. After doing all this, Ren Gu also had to write a report to report to the "Order" organization and notify all "Order" members who participated in this operation to be wary of "Schreber".
Meanwhile, "Loquat Candy" is responsible for further monitoring the health of Liangye and Rengu, ensuring that the curse on the two has been eradicated. At the same time, he also leads the medical staff in the field to conduct a comprehensive soul and body examination on the other injured people who are still unconscious, to ensure that the remaining survivors will not suddenly explode.
'Good Night' was responsible for negotiating with the people of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' to release 'God of Wine', and at the same time, he also arranged a legitimate "temporary reinforcement" status for 'Paper Kite', giving 'Paper Kite' the right to move freely... Of course, in addition to these overt tasks, Lin Yu knew that Good Night also had a hidden task, which was to find a secluded place to negotiate this matter with Li Hua.
As for Lin Yu...
Considering that he was only at the "Second Tier," although he had just single-handedly withstood "Schreber," which was a great achievement and demonstrated his extraordinary strength, "Order" still adhered to the principle of "the strong go first when there is danger." Schreber's attack meant that the situation had begun to show signs of chaos and danger. Therefore, Lin Yu was naturally assigned some routine work to stay in the venue, only responsible for maintaining the coordination between the various groups inside and outside the venue and ensuring the normal progress of the preparations before the election.
Lin Yu was happy to do this kind of easy job.
After all, it wasn't just Liang Ye who needed to find a quiet, undisturbed place to secretly communicate with Li Hua...
Lin Yu also planned to use the [Ancient Notes] again to negotiate with his two personal assistants!
After parting ways with "Human Valley", "Good Night", "Loquat Candy" and "Fern" (who goes by the alias "Ginkgo"), Lin Yu pretended to inspect the work before returning to the [Ancient Notes].
He pushed open the door to the room in the corridor and quickly found Lao Zheng and Fu Luo's location again.
This time, the two didn't play chess or drink; instead, they sat on a sofa and watched the "Never-Sleeping City" TV program included in "Ancient Notes" to pass the time.
Fu Luo was somewhat surprised to see Lin Yu return so quickly, but then she smiled as she looked at Lin Yu's expression.
"I thought my analysis was wrong because you came back so quickly... but judging from your appearance, it doesn't seem like my reasoning was flawed. On the contrary, it seems like you've already uncovered the truth too easily, right?"
Lin Yu didn't hold back his praise, nodding and saying, "Yes, he's been a great help—no wonder he's a super detective. The only conscious person, 'Drumstick,' is not only the breakthrough and key clue, but he is even the 'culprit' himself—to be precise, he is a 'clone' manipulated by a mortal."
"Unfortunately, because the other party was a clone, when forced into a desperate situation, this guy simply self-destructed, not giving us a chance to continue the investigation."
Fu Luo said with some regret, "I didn't expect there to be such an ability as 'cloning'... They're really troublesome."
However, Fu Luo then became excited again: "But Lao Lin, you've come here now, does that mean the other party's clone has left some new clues that can be investigated, and wants to seek our help?"
Lin Yu nodded: "That's right, there are indeed clues... However, A Luo, I'm sorry, this time the clues might be more helpful to Lao Zheng - I mainly came here to consult him."
Fu Luo wasn't angry, but looked at Lao Zheng and said, "So it's Hashirama who can help you more... In other words, that clue is the part he knows better."
Fu Luo sighed, and Lin Yu, after a moment of surprise, couldn't help but blurt out, "What the hell is Hashirama?"
But before Fu Luo could explain, Lin Yu waved his hand and said, "No need, I know what's going on... You came up with such a brilliant nickname."
Old Zheng laughed: "I quite like this nickname, after all, Hashirama Senju is pretty cool."
"So, boss, what's the clue?"
Lin Yu looked at Lao Zheng: "The other party is most likely from the 'Psychological Society,' and is a super expert from the 'Psychological Society.'"
"His clone is at the 'third level' level, and even within the 'third level' he is considered a strong one."
Upon hearing this, Old Zheng's expression turned solemn: "Are you sure he's from the 'Psychological Society'?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, he skillfully used soul power and claimed that his purpose in killing 'Ice Americano' was to give 'Order' a 'trial' and to create chaos..."
Old Zheng frowned: "This does sound a bit suspicious, but it's also possible that it's a frame-up?"
“He did frame someone—but the person he framed was ‘Schreber’,” Lin Yu said helplessly, looking at Lao Zheng. “That guy claims to be ‘Schreber’…which is why I think he’s most likely from the ‘Psychological Society’.”
First of all, both he and Lao Zheng knew perfectly well that the guy was definitely not 'Schreber'.
Secondly...
The guy who cares so much about 'Schreber' is probably a member of the 'Psychological Society'!
After all, Schreiber has openly declared war on the second-generation Freud, now the president of the Psychological Society.
Therefore, he is theoretically in opposition to the Psychological Society, which currently recognizes the second-generation "Freud" as the orthodox psychologist and accepts her leadership.
Furthermore, given that he had just killed an S-rank executive member of the Psychological Society, it's entirely plausible that the Psychological Society would retaliate against him.
What's more... Lin Yu even took the initiative to show up at the Psychological Society's headquarters last night and negotiated with Skinner under the pretext of "seeking cooperation".
Skinner would definitely report this to the Psychological Society afterwards—in other words, the Psychological Society also knew that Schreiber was in Shenzhen.
Their motive for framing Schreiber was not only sound, but also "timed perfectly"!
Fu Luo, who was listening in, didn't know the specifics of what was going on, but he didn't suspect anything.
According to Bi Zaifu Luo, it was only natural that Lin Yu was able to determine whether "Schreber" was an imposter and whether the other party was a member of the "Psychological Society".
After all, Lin Yu had already put the deceased first generation "Freud" into his notebook, so it's not surprising that he knew a little about the "Psychological Society"!
Moreover, Fu Luo had always known that Lin Yu had a lot of opinions about the Psychological Society, so it was reasonable for him to collect more information about the Psychological Society.
Therefore, Fu Luo did not express any opinion on this matter.
After pondering for a while, Old Zheng finally spoke up: "Since it's most likely done by someone from the 'Psychological Society,' there aren't many people with that kind of ability or similar skills. Of course, boss, let me make this clear beforehand: this guy might be someone I don't know at all, like that second-generation 'Freud,' or some other rising star. In that case, I won't be able to give you any advice."
Lin Yu nodded: "I understand. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
"In short, boss, tell me about his ability to create clones and the characteristics of his soul power first."
As Lao Zheng spoke, Lin Yu nodded and began to describe the detailed characteristics of the many abilities that the other party had demonstrated.
A ball of ghostly blue soul force; the ability to pull a person's soul out of their body; the ability to create clones that self-destruct; the ability to create three illusions that can use the abilities of the Ten Realms; the ability to retain the original appearance of "Drumstick" while using his body to unleash "Third-Order" strength...
Lin Yu explained everything to Lao Zheng in great detail, including the mechanisms, appearance, and energy fluctuations of all the abilities, as well as the other party's lines.
Old Zheng listened to Lin Yu's words and fell into deep thought.
"Boss... these abilities you mentioned... um... how should I put them?"
Old Zheng's face showed some hesitation and doubt.
Looking at the other person's expression, Lin Yu said, "You can just say you don't know, there's no need to make things so difficult for you."
"Even if you can't answer, there will be no punishment."
Old Zheng shook his head: "No, I really do know... If I didn't know, I would definitely tell the boss directly."
Lin Yu realized that Old Zheng wasn't bluffing, and he became curious as well: "Then why do you look like you want to say something but can't?"
Indeed, Lao Zheng's attitude can certainly be described as "strange".
Fu Luo's eyes sharpened: "Could it be that you're not talking about the mastermind because he's someone close to you, in order to protect him?"
Old Zheng looked at Fu Luo and said helplessly, "I don't have anyone in the Psychological Society who needs my protection... The reason I haven't spoken up is because I'm not sure if my judgment is wrong."
Lin Yu frowned: "Uncertain? You mean, someone's abilities meet some of the criteria?"
Old Zheng shook his head: "No, some people's abilities perfectly match the criteria—from appearance to skills, even the tone of voice you described is very similar!"
"I heard half of it and almost knew it was him—but the thing I was struggling with was..."
"The one who best fits the standard is the original 'Jung'."
"He is a master of using soul power, and his core ability, like my mental power, is a nearly unique soul power technique—a self-created ability called 'Soul Puppet'."
"But the problem is... as you've heard, this 'Jung' is also the 'first generation'."
“Now, the ‘Jung’ of the ‘Psychological Society’ and I, the ‘Freud,’ have both been replaced by a new generation.”
"In other words... the first 'Jung' died long ago, even before me."
"Furthermore, I can assure you that the first 'Jung' left absolutely no means of resurrection—his death was extremely gruesome, his soul was completely scattered and his bones were reduced to ashes!"
