Chapter 505 Showdown and Confrontation
Chapter 505 Showdown and Confrontation
Looking at the head of the Buyetian family who was obviously in a state of combat and intimidation in front of him, Lin Yu spoke slowly.
"I've been seen through... then there's nothing I can do. So, can I ask, when did you become suspicious, and when did you confirm it?"
"When you entered, I found that I couldn't see your 'soul' and 'life energy', so I became suspicious," the head of the Buyetian family answered Lin Yu's question straightforwardly. "After all, the last time I met A Luo, he didn't have this ability."
"I serve the God of Wisdom. The only one who can shield me from prying eyes is another god's spokesperson or a demigod."
As the Buyetian Patriarch spoke, Lin Yu began to laugh.
"I see."
It's really the expected reason.
"Then what makes you sure I'm not him?"
The Buyetian Patriarch stroked his chin and spoke, "To be honest, your acting in every aspect is flawless. Not only are you very good at acting and deceiving people, but you also understand A'Luo very well. However, there are always some secrets in the relationship between A'Luo and me."
"Especially, you should learn to emulate A-Luo in recounting his detective experiences... You spoke very well, the style and content were exactly the same as A-Luo's before. Unfortunately, you hardly boasted about yourself when you were recounting."
"You are far more efficient than Alo in telling the story—because you didn't tell the parts that boasted about your own wisdom and portrayed others as worshipping you."
Lin Yu was a little surprised when he heard what the head of Buye Tian family said.
"So I was caught because I wasn't thick-skinned enough?"
He couldn't help but feel emotional.
Sure enough, Fu Luo always manages to push his boundaries in unexpected places.
The Buyetian Patriarch clapped his hands and said, "Alright, tell me why you came here—and what did you do to A'Luo?"
Lin Yu looked at the head of the Buyetian family, who seemed aggressive but actually had no hostility, and began to explain.
"Well, he mentioned a doctor named Watson before, right?"
The head of the Buyetian family raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"You mean..."
"I am 'Doctor'. Although my name is not Watson, I guess that should be my pseudonym," Lin Yu said calmly. "Yes, Forboluo and I are very close partners."
The Buyetian Patriarch crossed his arms over his chest and asked, "How do you prove it?"
"How well do you know us 'visitors from other worlds'?"
Lin Yu asked back.
The head of the Buyetian family said calmly, "I know enough. I know that you generally call yourselves 'players', and most of you regard the world I live in and the other nine realms as 'game worlds'."
Lin Yu took out the [Enemy-Seeking Dagger] produced by "Order" from his arms, and then gently cut his arm.
Afterwards, he activated his "Doctor" occupational ability and healed his injuries.
Looking at the wound that healed in almost a second, the Buyetian Patriarch whispered, "He really is a 'doctor'."
Lin Yu laughed: "You really do understand 'players'. You recognized them at first sight."
"But this only proves that your 'profession' is indeed 'doctor', not that you are 'Watson'."
As the Buyetian Patriarch spoke, Lin Yu laughed. "You just asked why I didn't cooperate with Dr. Watson, but became Hastings... The reason is very simple. The army captain named Arthur Hastings is actually me."
"I have two identities and two 'occupations' - the other is 'soldier'."
Lin Yu said this, and then easily did a one-handed handstand, showing the physical fitness he had acquired as a "soldier".
"If I can disguise myself as Forbes, I can also disguise myself as Hastings from Watson in front of him."
The Buyetian Patriarch said unexpectedly: "It's really strange. Your ability is rare among those players."
"But why did you treat Forboluo like this?"
"Just for fun," Lin Yu shrugged. "Master, if you had my abilities and conditions... wouldn't you like to try and see when that clever 'detective' can discover that his new partner is actually his previous partner?"
After hearing Lin Yu's words, the head of Buyetian family expressed his deep agreement: "Indeed, this is a very tempting proposal. You have convinced me..."
"So, you borrowed Forbolo's identity without his knowledge?"
"It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, so naturally I didn't ask for his permission. He'd boasted to me about his prominent status in the City That Never Sleeps," Lin Yu said calmly. "You're probably aware that we 'players' often can't decide which world we appear in... This time, I came here without him, and I happened to encounter a somewhat tricky situation."
"So... I borrowed his identity."
Lin Yu responded calmly.
The Buyetian Patriarch nodded: "I understand. Since he is A Luo's friend... then I will not pursue the matter of you impersonating him."
She waved her hand gently, and all the books suddenly closed.
Lin Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Up to here, it's basically an easy pass.
That’s why Lin Yu didn’t panic when the head of Buyetian family called him a fake just now.
Because if the head of the Buyetian family really suspected that he had hostile intentions, he would probably have started to attack him just now.
It would probably be very easy for a God-chosen one to control me in my own home turf.
But the other party didn't take action, which meant that she also wanted to hear his explanation.
Because Lin Yu played Fu Luo very well, the other party could easily deduce a fact: he should be very familiar with Fu Luo.
After the storytelling session ended, Lin Yu confirmed that the head of the Buyetian family had a very good impression of Luo, and also made the other party confirm this: although the person in front of him was not Forboluo, he should be someone very close to him.
It's not even cheating.
Because Lin Yu and Fu Luo are really partners.
In fact, Fu Luo did say something like "You are Watson and I am Holmes."
but……
Although he had basically passed the test and his life was safe, the head of the Buye Tian family had not yet finished speaking.
"However, you haven't told me yet... which god is behind you, and why you must come to see me."
Lin Yu shook his head.
“I can’t answer either of these questions.”
Upon hearing this, the head of the Buyetian family reacted immediately.
A book behind her opened, and a line of symbols floated out from it.
The line of symbols floated to Lin Yu, forming a rotating closed loop. After rotating up and down, it suddenly stopped at Lin Yu's wrist.
The next moment, Lin Yu suddenly felt that his hand had lost consciousness, and his fingers began to twist involuntarily.
"It's indeed the Universal Chamber of Commerce's 'Prohibition Bracelet'... It's okay, I've already blocked it for you."
"What's the principle?"
Lin Yu asked in surprise.
"The 'alchemy' of the Divine Power Group... your right hand is now an independent life - so it doesn't matter if you leak secrets."
Hearing the words of the Buyetian family head, Lin Yu said seriously.
"I see."
After a brief consideration, Lin Yu raised his head.
"I'm here to complete an assassination commission."
