Although saying he had "fallen out" with Old Zheng and Stiller wasn't quite accurate, Lin Yu indeed couldn't rely on their strength for help during this period.

This was actually within Lin Yu's expectations. After all, from the perspective of their respective "positions," whether it was Stiller or Old Zheng, their stances conflicted with what Lin Yu needed to do.

These issues would have erupted eventually even if they hadn't surfaced today.

So... it might as well be better to take this opportunity to lay them all out openly and resolve them.

Stiller could wait for him to calm down first; he could find a way to completely resolve his emotional knots the next time he went to Sleepless City.

As for Old Zheng...

Getting him to work for Lin Yu again wasn't particularly difficult either. The point of conflict and disagreement between the two only lay with the Psychological Society. As long as they stopped talking about that aspect, they could definitely coexist harmoniously.

Anyway, Lin Yu didn't currently have the confidence to overthrow the entire Psychological Society.

Of course... unlike Stiller's one-sided entanglement.

Lin Yu was clear that he himself also had emotional knots regarding the Psychological Society.

So, to achieve a complete reconciliation with Old Zheng, Lin Yu felt he probably still had to wait until after he dealt with Fluoxetine to have a serious talk with Old Zheng.

Especially those suggestive words from Old Zheng...

"Although I've gotten stronger, troublesome matters are also increasing one by one."

Transforming back into his Lin Yu appearance with Hannah in a corner, he then returned home.

After returning home and watching two movies and two stage plays to ease his mood and relax, Lin Yu quickly regained his calm.

"Alright, next I need to prepare to report to Tycoon using both identities, find some time to visit Good Night at Order, and then accept the inheritance left by Radish that Li Hua is sending over to start the investigation..."

Lin Yu sorted through the things he needed to do next.

Compared to before, this return didn't involve any particularly urgent or dangerous tasks; they were all trivial matters like visiting Li Nian today.

"Oh right, I also need to pack my luggage. Although Senior hasn't notified me yet, the drama club's tour should be starting soon..."

"After the tour ends, if I'm near Henan Province, then I'll go find High Mountain and visit Fu Luo by the way."

Lin Yu thought to himself.

Although he had finally revealed and indicated to a few people like Sleepless Sky Huole and the Sleepless Night Family Head that he was not Furbollo, whether these people would clarify it and how many would believe it if they did was still a question.

What shape Furbollo's reputation would take within Sleepless City, Lin Yu did not know. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But he at least needed to hint around and let Fu Luo have some psychological preparation.

After all, Fu Luo was somewhat of a friendly unit to him and could emotionally be considered a friend with some shared history.

If Fu Luo really died in Sleepless City due to the chain reaction caused by Lin Yu's antics there, Lin Yu would still feel very guilty.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu opened the forum backend and sent a message to Fu Luo.

Although he knew that Fu Luo's previous messages were sent by Shen Bingmiao on his behalf, now that the cards were on the table, Shen Bingmiao no longer needed to take such roundabout ways to help him.

[May May: Still alive?]

This way of greeting wasn't abrupt among the Player community. Especially since Fu Luo entered the dungeon on Tuesday as well, so Lin Yu greeting him like this was considered polite.

Confirming with each other whether the other is still alive after experiencing a dungeon was completely normal.

Soon, Fu Luo's reply message popped up.

[Furbollo: Alive and well. Got a pretty interesting "item" this time, I'll show you when there's a chance.]

[Furbollo: Also, May, congratulations on the promotion!]

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised.

[May May: This is internal Order news, how do you know?]

[Furbollo: That's called connections! As a famous detective, I naturally have my own information channels!]

[Furbollo: So here's a free piece of intel for you. Seems like a guy called Twenty has been eyeing you lately. Be careful, that guy is also a well-known Detective!]

[Furbollo: Was originally planning to send you the organized info, but since you asked, I'll mention it first.]

Looking at Fu Luo's messages, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Fu Luo could be considered quite well-informed, but the other party probably didn't expect Lin Yu to be even faster.

[May May: Okay, thanks for the heads-up, I'll be careful.]

Lin Yu didn't mention that he had already killed Twenty and turned him into a "non-player" state.

He didn't even tell Fu Luo that Twenty was dead.

After all, if Fu Luo continued investigating, he should soon find out this news—the death of a Player, especially a Player with some strength, always spreads quickly.

Twenty, as a Third Tier, was no exception.

Rather, the fact that Fu Luo hadn't found out anything yet made Lin Yu a bit strange.

A whole day had already passed!

"Could this kid be intentionally hiding it from me?"

Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious.

Especially since there was an eyewitness at the time—Lin Yu didn't tell Fu Luo here, also hoping that after hearing the specific details of Twenty's death, he could use this to reversely locate that guy with split personality.

Although the other party, as a follower of Crow, was not trustworthy, their respective stances and shared experiences made Lin Yu feel that some shallow communication and cooperation with the other party was still possible.

And...

"Perhaps from her, I can also find inspiration for my Second Tier identity."

Lin Yu pondered.

As for whether Fu Luo was intentionally hiding something, Lin Yu didn't really care.

The other party wouldn't go so far as to secretly harm him—Shen Bingmiao had used his account, which made Lin Yu sense that Senior was definitely keeping an eye on Fu Luo.

Even...

"If Fu Luo is really plotting something, it's highly likely it's under Shen Bingmiao's direction."

And in that case, there was even less to worry about.

This wasn't out of trust for Senior, with whom he had formed an "accomplice relationship." Even if it were his own sister Lin Zhao, if she were a Player, Lin Yu would suspect her if necessary.

The reason he didn't care what Shen Bingmiao did was based on completely rational analysis—if the other party had no motive to harm him.

If it was a long-term scheme targeting him, regardless of what outcome Senior's planning would ultimately lead to.

Then right now, for Lin Yu, his best choice was to watch and wait!

...

At the same time.

Fu Luo was not in Zheng City at this moment.

In Chengcheng, Fu Luo looked at the radiant altar in an apartment room and silently put on a mask.

"He really did die in the dungeon."

"Then... it's time for me to start work."
