Chapter 1508 Aspiration is the furthest distance from understanding
"Has someone located us?"
Lin Yu frowned slightly upon hearing Lao Zheng's words, but did not stop what he was doing.
The more people are watching you, the sooner you should get into the core area.
However, Lin Yu still spared some attention to ask Lao Zheng the most basic questions.
"Is there any more information about the other side? Now that you've been exposed, you should have also investigated them, right?"
"Who is that person? Is he a criminal?"
Lin Yu asked quickly.
Old Zheng shook his head: "I can't be sure, but I tend to think it's not."
Lin Yu also felt that it was highly unlikely to be a criminal—because all the criminals in the "Eternal Cage" were currently in a state of "shutdown" tranquility.
At least along Lin Yu's journey, he did not find any prisoners to be exceptions.
"Since they're not the criminals, they're most likely the intruders... which might also be related to this anomaly itself..."
Lin Yu paused for a moment, then looked at Old Zheng and asked, "So, is the opponent strong?"
Without hesitation, Old Zheng said, "A demigod, if converted to a 'player,' would be a 'fourth-tier'... or at least an extremely powerful 'third-tier'."
Lin Yu asked, "Is it possible that it's a 'player'?"
Old Zheng paused for a moment, then said, "It's possible, but among the players... I don't remember any experts who have mastered this method—to be able to perceive soul power to this extent, and also have keen insight into mental power... At least in my memory, there is no one who meets the criteria."
“I do know one, but that guy definitely only became active after you died,” Lin Yu paused here, “So, can his location be pinpointed?”
“We’ve just completed the reverse tracking,” Old Zheng said with a confident smile, pointing in a direction. “Over there, far away, near the very edge of the ‘Eternal Cage’.”
“There seem to be some ‘spatial turbulence’ in the same location—that guy is definitely not a ‘prisoner’ here; he broke through the spatial passage directly from the boundary separating the ‘Eternal Cage’ from the outer realm of gods!”
As Lao Zheng spoke, Lin Yu nodded slightly.
"I see……"
But before Lin Yu could finish his response, Old Zheng's expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Oh no, boss... that guy's position has changed!"
He's no longer at the border!!!
As Old Zheng spoke, Lin Yu sensed the urgency in his tone and immediately asked, "Where is he?"
Before Old Zheng's finger, which had been pointing into the distance, could fall, he quickly adjusted the angle of his forearm, tilting it slightly downwards.
"Over here, boss."
Lin Yu was about to ask which way "this way" meant, but following the direction Lao Zheng pointed, Lin Yu immediately realized which way Lao Zheng was referring to.
At the spot Lao Zheng was pointing to, five meters in front of them.
A mass of grayish-white noise appeared, and then...
The surrounding environment seemed to be "distorted" for a moment, with slight distortion and fading.
then……
From the noise, the figure of a woman with short, neat hair and gold-rimmed glasses emerged.
Lin Yu immediately recognized the other party's identity.
It was the second generation, "Freud".
The two locked eyes, and the second-generation 'Freud' glanced at Lin Yu, frowning slightly.
"It's you again? The S-rank of 'Order'..."
She was speaking, but before she could finish her sentence, the second-generation 'Freud' looked towards Lin Yu's side.
Lin Yu had a bad feeling.
Although I had guessed earlier that it might be the second generation 'Freud', after all, a 'fourth-order' expert who has mastered soul power, and someone that Old Zheng happens to be unfamiliar with... it is naturally possible that he is his successor.
Although, in theory, Old Zheng, as the first "Freud," should have been very knowledgeable about the second "Freud," Lin Yu discovered through several daily interactions with the second generation and conversations with Old Zheng about this matter...
Although the second generation knows Old Zheng quite well, Old Zheng doesn't seem to know the second generation well.
Lin Yu speculated that it was probably because when Lao Zheng was still active in the Psychological Society, this second-generation 'Freud' was not an important member of the Psychological Society.
But in any case, Lin Yu knew... that this second-generation leader definitely knew Old Zheng.
Therefore, at this moment, let the other party see Lao Zheng's presence...
Just as Lin Yu was about to explain, he saw the second-generation "Freud" staring intently at Old Zheng, and then an uncontrollable rage appeared on his cold face.
"Schreber, very well, it really is you!"
"I noticed before that you deliberately made yourself look and dress very much like Mr. Zheng... I didn't expect you to dare to become exactly like him now. Do you think that's how you get close to Mr. Zheng?!"
"As expected, the claim that you're his relative was also a complete fabrication on your part, wasn't it!"
"From appearance to mental energy fluctuations, do you think this kind of imitation counts as inheritance? Mr. Zheng will absolutely not approve of your behavior!"
"As the true inheritor, I will absolutely not allow a fool like you, who deceives the world and steals fame, to continue to flaunt your abilities!"
Lin Yu and Lao Zheng listened to these words, and then Lao Zheng was stunned for a moment before speaking.
"I think you've misunderstood..."
But before Old Zheng could finish his sentence, the second-generation "Freud" interrupted him.
"There's no misunderstanding. It's always been a life-or-death struggle between us."
Listening to the words of the second-generation "Freud", Lao Zheng roughly understood the thought process of the person in front of him. He understood that the person in front of him wanted to kill him, and the reason was most likely because he mistook him for one of his boss's disguised identities.
So, Old Zheng looked at Lin Yu seriously and quickly communicated with him using encrypted mental energy: "Boss, can you let me go back?"
Lin Yu immediately retorted, "Are you kidding me? This is 'Tier 4'—if I put you away, do you expect me to face her alone?"
Old Zheng tentatively added, "At least... she didn't intend to kill you, boss."
"Believe me, you're an S-rank. She won't want to crush you here with her 'fourth-tier' status and power."
Lin Yu sneered: "That was before I put it away... If she had witnessed 'Schreber' being put into the [Item Space], or seen me make you, 'Schreber', disappear, she would definitely have killed me."
"Don't worry, if you're really about to be beaten to death, I'll save you."
As Lin Yu spoke, Old Zheng was completely helpless.
"So, who exactly is this second-generation leader?!"
He was internally complaining, but on the surface, Lao Zheng still tried to explain.
"You know, right? The guy next to me is called 'Director,' and he has a [prop] called a [cameo invitation]..."
As Old Zheng was speaking, the second-generation Freud heard her words and said, "Oh, you're here on a 'guest appearance invitation,' right? — You mean to say that it makes no sense for me to lay a hand on you, right?"
“Schreber…don’t joke around,” she said coldly. “I know the director has offered a cameo role, but my expertise in soul power is enough to assure me that your soul is a genuine, complete soul, not some projection or clone.”
“Although your body is indeed a bit strange… well, I should thank the ‘director’,” Freud said, looking at Lin Yu. “It seems that your ‘guest appearance invitation’ summoned someone to help by directly pulling their soul over.”
Lin Yu looked at Freud and smiled, "You're welcome."
Looking at the two exchanging polite words, Old Zheng, sweating profusely, said, "No, what I want to say is... is it possible that you have completely misunderstood me, and that I am not 'Schreber,' but the real first 'Freud'?"
Can we reconcile?
The second-generation "Freud" stared at Old Zheng and said coldly.
“Schreber, you have disappointed me greatly… Although I did not think you were Mr. Zheng’s true successor before, as an ‘imposter’… to be honest, your actions, character, potential and deeds have not disgraced Mr. Zheng.”
"But now, you've disappointed me greatly—and you're even trying to fool me with such a clumsy lie, aren't you?"
“Mr. Zheng…the mentor I respected who taught me everything, he would never say things like ‘Can we reconcile?’—even when facing someone who came to kill him, when facing his impending death, he ultimately accepted it with joy and equanimity.”
"Because he is 'Freud'... In his view, when faced with someone more potential than himself, or a meticulously planned scheme that can outmaneuver him, he can naturally accept dying at the hands of that person—that is Mr. Zheng's level of understanding. No matter how much you make your appearance and mental energy fluctuations resemble his, it's just a facade!"
Old Zheng was taken aback, and then he couldn't help but rub his forehead.
"Which universe's original 'Freud' are you referring to, and which timeline's Zheng Jianshen are you from?"
At the same time, Lao Zheng sincerely asked the question that he hadn't originally planned to say.
"And...who exactly are you?!"
Floyd, standing opposite him, took a deep breath and ignored Lao Zheng.
"Next, I will defeat you head-on."
Lin Yu, standing behind Lao Zheng, shook his head and began to conquer the "boundary wall".
"Indeed, worship is the furthest distance from understanding..."
He sighed in his heart.
After all, for Lin Yu... the fact that the second-generation 'Freud' mistook Old Zheng for 'Schreber' was a very wonderful misunderstanding.
The reason he didn't interrupt Lao Zheng's attempt to explain was because Lin Yun was certain...
Old Zheng's explanation will definitely not work.
Standing opposite the two men, Freud raised his hand and spoke softly.
"Do me a favor—this guy is cunning, don't let him get away."
“I want to… personally capture him and get the whereabouts of Mr. Zheng’s estate from him.”
As the second-generation "Freud" spoke, two brand-new figures emerged from the noise.
A tall, slender figure with a smooth, mirror-like body, and a wild woman with dark skin.
Seeing the two menacing figures appear behind her, Old Zheng felt an even greater headache.
"Are there any masters?"
