Chapter 1376 A Transparent World Where Information Is Complete
When Lin Yu opened his eyes again, he found Liang Ye sitting on the edge of his bed, yawning slightly.
He turned on the screen of his phone, which was on the bedside table; the time was 6:15.
"Captain, you're up so early!"
Lin Yu sat up in bed and looked at Liang Ye.
Although Liang Ye was still a little sleepy, she was already dressed and washed up.
“Damn it, do you think I thought of you this early?” Liang Ye lifted his wig and scratched his forehead. “Li Hua asked me to come over—he woke me up around 5 a.m. and told me to watch over you for a while… Damn it, I don’t know why.”
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant.
Li Hua probably used gambler's methods, such as calculating probabilities, to find out that he had been pulled into the "fate illusion" by the methods of a feng shui master.
He may not know the specifics, but he at least knows what happened to him.
Lin Yu thought for a moment and then made a decision.
"He called you over because he probably realized that I was being forcibly communicated with remotely by some means after I fell asleep."
Liang Ye snapped out of it: "Damn it, you've really run into some trouble?!"
Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, and he's a top expert... The 'Feng Shui Master' contacted me using the 'Fragment of Fate'."
He spoke frankly and directly.
Liang Ye's expression turned solemn. After a moment, he spoke, "Tell me more?"
This was clearly a question from Li Hua.
"Because he plans to harass 'The Diviner' with me—I also got the news from 'The Raiders' informant last night that 'The Diviner' is unlikely to directly participate or take action; he should stay in the Prison Mountain Realm while 'The Raiders' are on the move."
"Because I have a 'fragment of fate' on me, the 'Feng Shui Master' hopes to go to the Prison Mountain Realm with me to try to disrupt the 'Diviner's' arrangements and plans."
"Because it was similar to our goal, I did not refuse him in the illusion he created, but temporarily agreed."
As Lin Yu spoke, Liang Ye was so shocked by what he heard that she couldn't utter a complete sentence: "Damn it... what... what is this... damn it..."
However, Li Hua clearly still retains her language organization skills.
Liang Ye spoke again, relaying Li Hua's words: "In your own judgment, do you think 'feng shui masters' are credible?"
“I think the risks of this matter are less than the potential benefits,” Lin Yu paused, “and… the risks are relatively controllable.”
He said it bluntly.
"You still think the risk is 'controllable' if you actively intervene in a conflict between two 'fourth-order' beings, neither of whom are 'completely trustworthy'?" Liang Ye said in a very Li Hua-esque tone. "I need to know your basis."
"'Fragment of Fate'—the 'Feng Shui Master' told me that as long as the 'Fragment of Fate' is in my hands, the 'Diviner' will not kill me, because his goal is to 'reshape fate,' so the timing of obtaining the 'Fragment of Fate' must be at a specific point in time... Although you may think the 'Diviner' is not entirely trustworthy, I believe he did not lie to me on this point."
Lin Yu paused for a moment: "Moreover, even if the 'feng shui master's' prediction is wrong, it's not the first time I've escaped from the 'diviner'."
Liang Ye remained silent for a moment, not knowing what Li Hua had said. After a long while, Liang Ye frowned, but finally spoke.
"Okay, Shiba... just go ahead and do it."
Seeing Liang Ye's attitude, Lin Yu understood.
Li Hua has agreed.
This is equivalent to increasing the 'Feng Shui Master's' reputation score again—it seems that, at least in Li Hua's eyes, the 'Feng Shui Master' is indeed someone who can be a partner.
"Indeed, Li Hua is a true 'pragmatist'."
Lin Yu sighed inwardly, then patted Liang Ye, who was clearly a little worried about him.
"Don't worry, Captain. This decision may sound intimidating, but in terms of danger... it might be less dangerous than staying in Shenzhen."
Lin Yu said with a smile, and Liang Ye sighed: "Damn it... you just like to take high risks—anyway, how did your intelligence gathering go last night?"
"Besides confirming that that 'fortune teller' bastard isn't coming, have we gained anything else?"
Lin Yu nodded.
He was waiting for Liang Ye and Li Hua to ask their questions.
"According to my informant, the 'Raiders' plan to launch an attack on the fifth day of the general election. At that time, 'Heavenly King', 'Ling Xian', and 'A Yu' will each lead their own teams and 'Raiders' members to be responsible for containment and infiltration."
“Lingxian and Ayu are responsible for containing our Order and Night Watchmen’s reinforcements and protection, while Tianwang is responsible for breaking into the venue, killing and robbing goods—their primary target should still be one of Renwang’s [props].
"At the same time, since the 'Diviner' didn't come, I guessed they probably had helpers... My informant made the same guess, he thought it might be the 'All-Powerful Mercenary King' or 'Liu'."
When Lin Yu presented this set of information, Liang Ye was completely stunned.
"Damn it, what level is that 'informant' you found? Is your informant 'Ling Xian' or 'A Yu' himself?"
Lin Yu couldn't help but inwardly criticize Liang Ye's exaggerated exclamation.
In a sense, his informant really was "Ayu" himself.
But of course, these words couldn't be said aloud.
Lin Yu waved his hand: "Captain, don't try to test me. There's no way I'll reveal his identity."
Liang Ye realized what was going on: "Damn it, I wasn't testing you, I was just being cheeky on the spur of the moment—damn it, if what you're saying isn't a smokescreen deliberately put out by the 'Raiders,' then we're in a huge advantage right now!"
Then, Liang Ye immediately followed up with a question that was clearly asked by Li Hua.
"Can you be sure the 'Raiders' won't act before then?"
Lin Yu shook his head: "I can't say for sure, but at least they don't have any plans."
"That's enough. I'll report this to the organization... I'll also try to further verify the 'Feng Shui Master's' purpose. After the 'Knight-errant' arrives, you can also subtly inquire about the 'Feng Shui Master's' information, but don't reveal that you'll be working with him. The 'Knight-errant' probably won't want you to go."
Liang Ye spoke repeatedly, then took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and added: "I will also check on 'Liu's' movements... However, it is unlikely that 'All-Powerful Mercenary King' will be involved in 'Raiders' affairs."
Lin Yu asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
“Because ‘All-Round Mercenary King’ has been secretly hired by ‘Mikan,’ one of the candidates this time,” Liang Ye said in a deep voice. “Although he is a profit-driven ‘bounty hunter,’ he is very principled. He will never take on two jobs at the same time, nor will he take on fake jobs. Since he has already agreed to be a bodyguard for a specific ‘candidate,’ he will never secretly accept ‘plunderer’s’ commissions and sabotage them in secret.”
"I was originally planning to introduce him to you while I was meeting the candidate today, but since we happened to be talking about him, I'll just tell you about him here."
Lin Yu listened to the information provided by Li Hua and also wrote it down.
"Won't the 'All-Round Mercenary King' side with the 'Raiders'? And as a bodyguard for a specific candidate in the 'Player Mutual Aid Association,' if he really fights with the 'Raiders,' he can probably be considered an ally on our side for the time being."
After all, Li Hua had certified him as "principled," so Lin Yu believed that Li Hua was pretty accurate in judging people.
After a brief exchange of information, Lin Yu got up, washed up, changed his coat, and then went out with Liang Ye.
Li Hua had already written the group list and action plan for "Order" based on the action rules sent by the "Player Mutual Aid Association," and sent them to Liang Ye, who then forwarded them to the newly created internal work group.
Unlike the Raiders, whose members are divided into teams based on region and whose leaders lead their own groups to fight independently, the members of "Order" are reorganized based on strength, "profession", and strengths. Although they do consider whether members have "partner experience", it is definitely not the primary or priority factor.
According to Li Hua's command, the entire "Order" operation is now divided into four parts: internal affairs group, external affairs group, reserve group, and support group. Each major operation group does not have a group leader; the group structure is only for the convenience of command and dispatch. In theory, they are all directly under the command of Liang Ye and Lin Yu.
The internal affairs team is responsible for coordinating the election process of the "Players' Mutual Aid Association" and liaising between the "Players' Mutual Aid Association" and the "Night Watchmen" to ensure that there is no chaos in the venue and to provide logistical support for other action groups. There are three action groups, numbered Group A, Group B and Group C, which are respectively led by three local strongmen in South China: "Ren Gu", "Pipa Tang" and "Chun".
The field team split into twelve squads, mostly five people, with a few four and three people, to patrol and stand by at key traffic arteries and nodes in Shenzhen, keeping an eye on the movements of the "plunderers" and also checking if any other dangerous "players" were wandering around the city.
Each squad is basically composed of support members from the three major regions of Central China, North China, and Northeast China. Those from the same city are given priority to be assigned to the same squad—Lin Yu even saw many familiar faces among them, all of whom were quite skilled in combat and had rich practical experience.
Once the election officially begins, the field team's scope of activity may shrink, mainly responsible for guarding the "choke points" leading to the venue and cooperating with the reinforcements from the "Night Watch," serving as the "first line of defense."
By comparing the results with the solo queue of "Raiders", Lin Yu had a general idea of what to expect.
"At that time, 'Ayu' will probably have to deal with... the field operations team."
"In other words, the Yayu should also choose its opponent from these fifty-odd people."
