Chapter 375 The Mysterious Twenty
Chapter 375 The Mysterious Twenty
"Hey, Xiba, you woke up."
In the room on a bright night, he was squatting on a chair, eating instant noodles and sipping iced American coffee.
On another chair in the room, Li Hua was sitting with his legs crossed, flipping through some documents.
Looking at Liang Ye who was dressed neatly, Lin Yu was a little surprised.
"Captain, have you not slept all night?"
Liang Ye put down the seafood fish noodles in his hand: "That's not necessary."
Li Hua raised his eyes and said, "He's Korean, he doesn't need to sleep... Are you guys well rested and ready to start the investigation?"
Lin Yu nodded slightly: "Yes, I'm going to ask questions. If it's convenient for you two, please follow me..."
"After all, if it's just me and Forbolo, it might not be enough."
Liang Ye agreed: "You have a point. These idiots are just a bunch of people who judge others by their appearance."
"Don't worry, Li Hua and I will support you. We can play the bad guy for you when necessary!"
Li Hua turned off the tablet in his hand: "I'm not very good at putting pressure on people, but I will try my best."
"You're too polite," Lin Yu said, then showed just the right amount of hesitation on his face, "But there's something a little strange..."
Liang Ye saw Lin Yu's hesitation and then said, "Shit, just say it directly!"
"I had a very strange dream last night," Lin Yu said as if he had made up his mind. "In the dream, there was a guy who called himself 'consultant' and claimed to be an accomplice in the murder of Luo Bo. He wanted to play cards with me. If I lost a round, I could ask the other party questions."
"I played a few games with him, and he told me that the lost item and the murderer who killed Radish were not the same person. The person who stole the item intended to use it in a certain dungeon world."
Lin Yu spoke carefully, his tone sounding a little unconfident.
"I always felt like this wasn't just a dream caused by my stress...it was too real."
After he finished speaking, Liang Ye hadn't reacted yet, but Li Hua's face changed drastically.
"A method of entering dreams or weaving dreams... a nightmare spell from the secret world."
"To be able to pull you into a dream right under our noses, you must be a troublesome character."
Li Hua said this in a cold voice, and Liang Ye also reacted.
"Shit, did this happen with a [Summoning Creature] or a [Scroll]? If it's the former, we're in big trouble!"
The reactions of the two "Order" masters were more intense than Lin Yu had imagined.
What surprised Lin Yu was...
Not only these two people, even Fu Luo reacted.
"Oh my god, brother, did you just say that guy called himself a 'consultant'?"
Seeing Fu Luo's somewhat surprised and doubtful look, Lin Yu was also surprised.
"You don't know him, do you?"
Fu Luo shook his head: "I can't say I know him, but in the 'Players' Mutual Aid Association', there are some small circles and communication communities formed by people with the same 'profession'..."
Liang Ye and Li Hua nodded, as if they knew the situation.
Only Lin Yu was a little confused - he had no idea this thing existed.
However, Lin Yu knew that it was reasonable for him to have never been exposed to this thing, as he had only been in the game for too short a time.
In addition, since it was his "only job", he really had no intention of getting involved in this aspect from the beginning.
News among players still relies too much on word of mouth - for things like this, Fu Luo would never know it if he didn't tell him.
But it was precisely because Fu Luo said it that he would know it later.
"If I could get involved in different 'professional' circles, it would probably be of great help to my acting."
Lin Yu thought silently and continued to listen to Fu Luo.
"When I was communicating with detectives from other places, I heard about this guy... Although he's a detective, he's actually doing the work of an anti-detective."
"He specializes in planning 'crimes' against other players for players who have been removed from the game. If you want to kill a player or steal an item... he's the right person to look for."
"And that guy calls himself a 'consultant'—when I was helping our local 'order' solve several cases in Henan Province, I seemed to have his presence there. However, due to a lack of identity, I couldn't be completely sure which ones he was responsible for."
"Captain Gaoshan on our side said that we can't rule out the possibility that those guys fabricated the fact that they received instructions from an 'advisor' in order to mitigate their own responsibility."
"But this character is definitely not made up out of thin air, because there are many traces of his actual activities... It's just that the other party is very smart, so he hid it very well."
"Also, according to my research, he should be very strong. He is listed as a 'Level 3' and remains anonymous."
Liang Ye and Li Hua fell into deep thought after listening to Fu Luo's speech.
"Shit, I think I've heard of this person before..."
Lin Yu looked directly at Fu Luo at this time: "You should have some guesses about his true identity, but you didn't tell us because you had no evidence or were not 100% sure."
Fu Luo was surprised: "Oh my god, you figured this out?"
"You are indeed my good brother, May. You really understand me too well."
Lin Yu shook his head: "Just intuition."
Of course it wasn't intuition, because he could hear that when Fu Luo introduced the other person's characteristics, some parts were too specific - he seemed to be describing the characteristics of a specific person rather than describing a range.
Therefore, even if Fu Luo rationally felt that he had not found out the other party's identity, he had already locked on a candidate in his subconscious mind.
"Who do you think that guy is? Tell me."
Li Hua also nodded: "Since that guy is hiding, there is a high possibility that he has not even been kicked off the forum."
Fu Luo thought for a moment and said, "The other party's forum ID and social media ID should both be 'Nian', the 'Nian' in twenty... From what I know, he should really have some kind of 'dream-entering' method."
"twenty?"
Hearing the other party's code name, Lin Yu frowned slightly.
I seem to have seen several posts mentioning this ID before. If I remember correctly, they seemed to be quite positive.
The general content seems to be that this guy can often lead all the players to complete puzzle-solving dungeons perfectly without any casualties.
"Shit, that's a serious accusation," Liang Ye said with a serious expression. "That guy has good relationships with the top leaders of many local organizations, the middle and high-level members of large organizations including our Order, and even the administrators of several cities."
"Are you sure, Forbolo?"
Fu Luo shook his head: "I didn't say that I wasn't sure, but... the direction of my current investigation finally points to him."
Li Hua raised his hand to interrupt the discussion: "Let's put his case aside for now. After all, this guy claims to be just an 'accomplice'. Even if he didn't lie in the dream, he objectively helped us."
"It's more important to first investigate the murderer and give an explanation to the Players' Mutual Aid Association."
