Chapter 1579 Easy-to-Understand Paper Kites
Although Paper Kite didn't understand the abilities and methods of "impersonating others" as well as Lin Yu did, he didn't think what Lin Yu said was a fantasy or unbelievable.
only……
"If you think 'Yu Linling' is innocent, then why is he the first suspect in the 'Player Mutual Aid Association'?"
Following Lin Yu's words, Zhiyuan asked in confusion.
Lin Yu said in a low voice, "Of course it's because of 'interests'... In fact, those people may not really think that 'Yu Linling' is the murderer or related to the murder, but—he is a candidate after all."
Upon hearing Lin Yu's explanation, Zhiyuan finally understood.
He spoke with some displeasure: "So many people have already died... So, for them, is the 'election' itself still more important?"
"The 'Player Mutual Aid Association' was a pretty good organization when I first came into contact with it."
"It seems that it's almost beyond saving now."
"Paper Kite said with emotion."
His somewhat harsh sense of justice and moral standards, which in some respects could be described as "moral fastidiousness," clearly made him instinctively uncomfortable with this kind of behavior that treated human lives as a bargaining chip, using "murder" and "disaster" as bargaining chips.
When Lin Yu heard what Zhiyuan said, he agreed: "But this is the real situation of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association'... That's why we need to intervene in this organization and prevent it from getting worse because of the election of an unsuitable president."
Paper Kite nodded: "I completely agree—although in my opinion, 'Rainy Bell' is already 'deserving of death,' but... it wasn't his crime, and he shouldn't be made to bear the blame."
Lin Yu said, "So... before you returned to the convention center, you were also trying to investigate the truth?"
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Zhiyuan nodded again.
"Yes, I'm trying to find traces of the murderer—after all, regardless of whether the murderer is 'Yu Linling' or not, it's true that I once cast and inscribed a 'double curse mark' on him. So even though I've lost track of him, I can try to trace the magical traces left by my curse mark."
As Zhiyuan spoke, Lin Yu became somewhat interested.
"So... what were the results of your investigation?"
Paper Kite said with some regret, "There was no gain... The other party must have noticed that I was tracking the remaining magical traces, so those magical traces jumped around and swayed all over the city."
At this point, Lin Yu was not surprised: "As expected, the other party is not so simple."
“Yes, the other party is not simple. After all, my magic tracking was learned directly from the Cross School of Night Valley. It is a very sophisticated and secretive tracking method. If the other party did not have super sharp senses or was also proficient in the extraordinary system of Night Valley,” Paper Kite said with emotion, “they probably would not have been aware of my tracking at all… let alone be able to interfere with my tracking.”
“However, it is precisely because of this that I have been tracking it. After all, at first I did not realize that the other party was playing me. I just thought that the other party was running away frantically,” Paper Kite paused here, “In the end, it was only when the trajectory of the residual traces of magic became more and more chaotic and disordered, and kept moving towards the edge of Deep City, that I realized something was wrong—in the end, the traces of magic even jumped directly into a suburban factory park.”
While listening, Lin Yu didn't realize anything and chose to believe 'Paper Kite's' judgment.
It wasn't until "Paper Kite" uttered its last sentence that Lin Yu suddenly realized something.
"Approximately where is the factory park located in the suburbs?"
Lin Yu asked, and Zhiyuan thought for a moment, took out her phone, turned off flight mode, and then opened the map, zooming in and out repeatedly.
Finally, the kite hand pointed to a spot on the map of the deep city.
"This is it... Is there a problem?"
"Do you perhaps think... there's some significance to this location?"
Lin Yu looked at the location and fell into deep thought.
He realized something...
The assessment of "paper kite" is likely incorrect.
The other party may not have been intentionally interfering with his magic tracking at all. They were simply being cautious and taking a roundabout route back to the "base" to make their route look a bit strange, so that if someone was tracking them, they could find their destination directly.
Or perhaps he wasn't deliberately taking a detour, but was actually making arrangements in different parts of Shenzhen.
It just so happened that the kite was indeed tracking it, so it was misled.
Because at this very moment, the direction the kite was pointing to, that so-called suburban factory park... was precisely the offline meeting point for the 'Raiders' that Lin Yu had previously visited!
In other words, although the exact identity of the other party is still unknown, with this clue, Lin Yu can make a bold inference...
Even if the other party is not a member of the "Raiders", they are someone who has a cooperative relationship with the "Raiders"!
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the other party was indeed playing tricks on or misleading "Kite," or even deliberately framing "The Raiders"...
But Lin Yu still felt that it was more likely that this was not a frame-up, but was actually related to the "plunderers".
After all, from the perspective of the 'Raiders', killing 'Redwood' and sowing discord between the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' and 'Order' would definitely benefit the 'Raiders'.
but……
Lin Yu has no intention of telling Zhiyuan about this conjecture for the time being.
"I didn't find anything, but I remembered that this location is not only near a factory park, but it should also be an abandoned park," Lin Yu said in a very natural tone. "So, although I also think it's a lie, since it's the last place it appeared in, maybe... there really is something special about it?"
"If you have some free time, it's not impossible for you to take a site visit."
Hearing Lin Yu's advice, Zhiyuan nodded: "Okay, if I don't find any new clues during the day tomorrow, I'll go and take a look here."
After Paper Kite finished speaking, Lin Yu immediately added, "However, are you really not considering returning to 'Order' first? Even if you're worried about your relationship with the 'Player Mutual Aid Association,' we can temporarily cover your face and give you an identity that isn't 'Paper Kite'."
After hearing Lin Yu's words, Zhiyuan shook her head.
"Then let's skip it... After all, you came to see me expecting me to be free to do as I please, right?"
"So... now that we have such a good opportunity, why not just let me take action and see for myself?"
“To be honest, since I was demoted in the East China region… I’ve thought and reflected a lot, but there is one conclusion I’ve come to that I would likely be criticized for not being repentant if I wrote it in my self-criticism,” Zhiyuan said frankly. “But with you, ‘Director’… it’s okay to tell the truth.”
Lin Yu nodded: "Go ahead and say it. Indeed, if I were placed in the 'Order' category, I would be considered a rather unconventional type."
Paper Kite said seriously, "One of the important conclusions I've come to through reflection is that... I'm really not suited to hold any position in the organization or to act with other comrades—sometimes, it might actually be better to let me act freely on my own."
Hearing what Zhiyuan said, Lin Yu laughed.
"If this were written into a self-criticism, I'd definitely get criticized for being disorganized and undisciplined..."
"However, 'Paper Kite'... since you have such thoughts, why not simply withdraw from 'Order'?"
As Lin Yu spoke, his tone was not sarcastic, but rather one of genuine curiosity.
Zhiyuan listened to Lin Yu's words without getting angry. She simply said calmly, "Actually, I have really considered leaving 'Order'... but for me, sometimes I may also want to maintain my status as a member of 'Order'."
"On the one hand, although I do not follow or agree with many of the specific, minor rules and regulations and organizational disciplines of 'order,' I generally agree with the organization's general philosophy... Therefore, I am willing to make my own contribution to the organization, stay here as a member, act as a member, and be at their beck and call."
"On the other hand... this identity is also a form of self-reflection and restraint for me," Paper Kite paused for a moment, "I know that what I've been doing has always been very dangerous and overstepping boundaries, judging 'crimes' entirely based on personal judgment and using personal force. This kind of violence against violence, abuse of vigilante justice, and unauthorized judgment is already a very gray area, and it's easy to slip into the abyss of complete collapse if you're not careful..."
"Being a member of 'Order' makes me more cautious... and if I really do something wrong, the constraints and disciplinary feedback from this identity will be more powerful and timely than for ordinary 'players'."
As Zhiyuan spoke, she earnestly explained her innermost thoughts to Lin Yu.
After hearing these ideas, Lin Yu gained a deeper understanding of "paper kites".
"I see... What a brilliant idea!"
As Lin Yu spoke, an expression of admiration appeared on his face.
Lin Yu's admiration for the kite was genuine at this moment; he wasn't putting on an act.
only……
Lin Yu's true thoughts and feelings at this moment were naturally much more complex than simple "admiration".
After all... for Lin Yu.
After gaining a deeper understanding of "paper kites," learning about some of his innermost thoughts, and understanding the underlying motivations behind his actions, he approached the matter from a realistic perspective...
This also means that, whether I intend to play the role of Paper Kite, borrow the other party's identity, or guide Paper Kite to do something, I will have to decide what to do next.
Everything will become more convenient and accurate.
Lin Yu looked at the kite with unwavering admiration and continued speaking.
"In short, it is indeed a good thing that you, Comrade Paper Kite, can continue to move freely."
"However... I suddenly remembered some other clues. Perhaps you can investigate them if you're free tomorrow."
