Chapter 1318 Zheng Jianshen, you are a heartless man
What Lao Zheng said was indeed an angle that Lin Yu had subconsciously ignored just now.
It's not that he underestimated the shamelessness of the murderer behind the scenes, but when he put himself in the murderer's perspective, Lin Yu felt that if it were him, he would definitely do it... more flawlessly.
After all, the murderer who had been lurking for a long time had always been as strict and cautious as himself.
But Lao Zheng's words were like a reminder, making Lin Yu suddenly remember a point that he had always ignored.
Although the murderer acted cautiously, a cautious person can also be arrogant and conceited, and sometimes make irrational, imprudent and inconsiderate moves.
So, looking back at the other party's "traps" that caused him some trouble but in most cases exposed clues, Lin Yu suddenly figured it out.
That guy did it on purpose.
This is a... provocation.
Lao Zheng's analysis was most likely correct - when that guy decided to kill Gao Shan and Fu Luo, he also began to conceal himself less carefully.
His behavior in the wasteland might even be a deliberate attempt to speed up Fu Luo's discovery of the secret of his identity.
This is another typical "common problem" of arrogant and smart people.
When the other party behaves rigorously, it is because he is still planning.
As long as his layout is complete, he no longer needs to be on guard.
So similarly, if I choose to investigate the truth about the death of Fu Luo and Captain Gao Shan, I will naturally be provoked by the other party.
"So... you started provoking me because after Forboluo, the arrangements against me were also completed, right?"
"You're telling me that you've prepared a death for me that I can't escape, right?"
As Lin Yu thought about it, a trace of instinctive fear arose in his heart.
But Lin Yu was more... looking forward to it.
He was somewhat eager to know what means the other party had prepared and why he was so confident that he could take the initiative to offer him "sweet benefits".
Even the murderer behind the scenes didn't seem to be very worried, as he realized that the other party had already made some arrangements.
Being targeted by such a guy is indeed terrifying.
But the reason why Lin Yu's expectations were greater than his fears...
Because he knows that all layouts are based on "information".
Regardless of how confident the other party is in understanding themselves...
Lin Yu was also confident that the other party could never really understand everything about him.
Even if the other party sees through your methods, trump cards, and true strength a few more times than ordinary people, it is definitely not enough.
The other party's behavior will become your best... opportunity.
"As expected, as long as you put in the effort in your daily life, you will naturally be assisted by God when you perform on stage."
Thinking of this, Lin Yu also calmed down.
Although the opponent seemed to have begun to show flaws, Lin Yu also knew that he was ultimately the weaker party in the open.
Therefore, we still have to continue to proceed steadily.
Thinking of this, he took out the locator terminal that he had confiscated before and used to track himself and Fu Luo, and showed it to Lao Zheng.
"By the way, Lao Zheng, take a look at this. I feel like this is something from Kirishima. The murderer gave it to a group of people from the Great Wilderness, who attacked us. According to my research, this thing seems to be able to be located on Fu Luo."
"Do you know what this thing is and how it works?"
Lin Yu asked, and Lao Zheng glanced at him, a subtle weirdness flashed across his face, but then he returned to normal and began to respond normally.
"Boss, you have a very discerning eye. This is indeed a Kirishima [Tool]... and it was created by a previous civilization of Kirishima."
"This thing is probably called a 'Soul Locator'... Kirishima's previous civilization conducted extremely in-depth research into the spiritual realm, and once this research deepens, it inevitably touches upon the 'soul level.'"
"Although soul technology is still immature, there are indeed quite a few related experimental products, various prototypes, and concept machines. Of course, based on the information I currently have, the fastest-progressing products have only reached the prototype stage, and no further."
Although Lao Zheng's wording was relatively conservative and rigorous, as Princess Baiyue's deputy, companion, close friend and lover, Lao Zheng was definitely the one among the players who knew the previous civilization of Kirishima the best.
He said, "Based on the information I have at the moment," which is basically equivalent to "fact."
After hearing this, Lin Yu realized something and said, "So, this thing might not be in stock, or even a unique piece?"
Old Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, theoretically, you can investigate the source of this thing and thus greatly narrow down the scope of the objects you need to investigate."
"Although we may not be able to directly identify that guy, after all, he dared to give it directly to the Great Wilderness people, which means he is confident that he will not be found directly."
Lin Yu seemed to be thinking about something.
It really seems like... a provocation.
Then, he looked at Lao Zheng and said, "I see. Can you tell me how this thing works?"
Old Zheng nodded. "As the name suggests, this thing is of course used to record the soul's 'spiritual frequency band'. A considerable portion of spiritual power originates from the soul, and the fluctuations of 'spiritual power' within each person's soul are unique. While it can be altered and concealed through techniques... obviously, Forboluo, as a soul fragment, can't do that."
"Since the opponent has already worked and fought with Forboluo before, there should be no problem in recording Forboluo's mental frequency and inputting it into this device."
As Lao Zheng spoke, Lin Yu nodded slightly.
"It's pretty much what I expected."
Fu Luo also scratched his head, feeling a little guilty: "Oh my god, I really died a bad death, and I even gave the coordinates to the other side."
Lin Yu shook his head: "It's okay, in a sense this is a good thing... at least the other party has revealed some of his information to us."
"Besides, this way you can be even more certain that you and your previous 'original self' are the same person."
As Lin Yu spoke, Fu Luo did feel a little relieved. He was an optimistic person by nature, and when he heard Lin Yu's words, he laughed even more.
"That's true, Lao Lin."
Lin Yu looked at Lao Zheng and said, "Okay, now it's time to talk about...what you know about this thing besides its 'function'."
"Where did it come from? And which players might have fallen into its hands? You should have some clues, right?"
"Don't tell me that's all you know about him... This thing definitely has special meaning to you."
When Old Zheng heard Lin Yu's question, he smiled helplessly and said, "Sure enough, Boss, your ability to interpret micro-expressions is simply abnormal. Even professional psychologists and micro-expression experts may not have your eyesight."
Old Zheng naturally knew that the micro-expression he couldn't control when he saw the locator just now made Lin Yu notice the clue.
"Really? Gaining a physical body... isn't just a good thing. It also greatly reduces the possibility of getting away with it in front of you, boss."
"Of course, I've never tried to deceive you or hide anything from you before!"
After Lao Zheng's emergency avoidance, Lin Yu kicked the materialized Lao Zheng - the other party's acquisition of a physical body did bring him a lot of convenience.
"I won't pursue the past. You don't need to explain yourself here, and don't even think about delaying time like this—you know it's useless."
Lao Zheng sighed: "Okay, Boss... Actually, this thing... well, how should I put it."
"Theoretically, its first 'player owner'... at least the first in this version, should be me."
After hearing this, Lin Yu felt that although it was indeed a little unexpected, it was generally reasonable.
"Your bond with this thing is even deeper than I imagined... Therefore, I can not only investigate its movements in the player market, but also trace it directly from you, the source, to your next buyer."
Lao Zheng nodded. "Yes... Later, when I couldn't use it anymore after my spiritual power cultivation, I gave it to Lakang. Lakang's enemy detection ability has always been worrying."
"As for who Lacan gave it to later, I don't know... but it was probably a member of the Psychological Society."
After hearing this, Fu Luo couldn't help but complain: "Oh my god, such an important clue, you are going to hide it?"
"If we follow this line of inquiry, wouldn't it be easy to narrow down the scope?"
Lao Zheng said embarrassedly, "I didn't intend to keep it a secret forever, I'm just still struggling with it... and hasn't the boss seen through it?"
Fu Luo was helpless: "What are you entangled about? You even said that you are now wholeheartedly on Lao Lin's side... Lao Lin, it turns out that the people in the "Psychology Society" are unreliable!"
Lao Zheng sighed, "I'm hiding this because I'm worried that the boss will become suspicious of me and that I'm colluding with those guys!"
Fu Luo was a little unhappy after hearing this explanation: "Then you underestimate Lao Lin too much."
Seeing that Fu Luo believed Lao Zheng's explanation, Lin Yu shook his head and said, "You were deceived by him, Forboluo. He didn't hesitate to tell me because he was worried that I would become suspicious of him...but the way he obtained this [prop] was definitely wrong."
"Old Zheng, can you tell me how you got this Soul Locator?"
As Lin Yu spoke, Lao Zheng's eyes began to wander.
"Oh, this... was given to me by someone else."
Lin Yu didn't give him a chance to be ambiguous: "Bai Yue?"
Lao Zheng was silent for a long time. After a while, he said, "Boss, why are you so smart?"
This is also a disguised acknowledgement of what Lin Yu said.
Lin Yu turned around and explained to Fu Luo beside him: "Bai Yue is his lover in the Kirishima Realm."
Fu Luo nodded in understanding, then suddenly thought of something and looked at Lao Zheng with a reproachful look.
"Wait a minute, since this [prop] was given by your lover, why don't you give it to 'Lacon'?"
"First-generation Floyd, are you still a human being?"
