Chapter 249 Cooperation Negotiation with the Baron
Chapter 249 Cooperation Negotiation with the Baron
There is no doubt that the man in the jar is the most prestigious "Baron" on this "Despair Train".
When he revealed half of his face, Punkto came forward and confirmed that he was indeed "Coleman".
"My goodness, Jerry Coleman, it's really you—you're so much more mature than I remembered."
"If you want to say you look old, just say so." Baron Coleman in the jar turned slightly and looked at Punctot. "Do you think you're still young... Oh, you're awake now, but your memory is not complete. You should really think you're young."
The noisy electric current sound came out again through the broadcasting device in the car.
Lin Yu listened to Coleman's words and immediately came to a conclusion.
The relationship between Baron Coleman and Punkedo can definitely be described as close.
Although Ponkdo has now lost that memory, his attitude towards Coleman is just like that of a familiar colleague.
But the teasing tone in Coleman's words just now made Lin Yu feel that his attitude towards Punkto was at least close.
"Okay, man, you didn't remember anything. There's no way I can reminisce with you, and now isn't the right time to do so... Let me chat with this lady for a bit."
Baron Coleman said this and looked at Lin Yu again.
"Okay, ma'am...what should I call you?"
"Just call me Zhu Ming."
Lin Yu said calmly.
"Ms. Zhu Ming," Baron Coleman said, "I want to know why you are here."
"Train tickets," Lin Yu said succinctly. "I need to know how to get 'train tickets'—a quick and effective way to actually get them."
Baron Coleman chuckled softly upon hearing this. "You're quite clever indeed. You've realized that the 'ticket fragments' everyone on this train is vying for are the least efficient means."
"After all, the goal is to collect emotions like 'despair'. It would be a shame if they could get them just by working hard," Lin Yu said calmly. "Besides, I'm not that smart."
"Why do you say that."
Coleman looked at Lin Yu and asked.
Lin Yu responded, "Because I thought the 'ticket fragments' method was a complete scam."
Coleman, who was soaked in liquid in the tank, was obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughter was heard in the car.
"Ha, ha, ha...what an interesting idea."
"Thank goodness you're not a high-ranking official at Truth Corporation."
Then, Coleman looked Lin Yu up and down and spoke again.
"No wonder I couldn't see through your soul. I thought it was a divine cover-up or something... Now it seems it's simply because you can't be seen through."
"However, transactions are transactions."
"You want answers about 'tickets'. What can you give me in exchange?"
Lin Yu looked at Baron Coleman and pointed at Punkdo beside him.
"Isn't it enough to save your friend from madness?"
Baron Coleman in the jar looked deep in his eyes: "I didn't commission this."
Lin Yu didn't intend to get the answer to the question for free, he was just trying it.
So, after Baron Coleman refused, he was also very calm.
"Well, Baron, since you think I'm a smart man... and you've seen how powerful my companions are, why not entrust me with your services?"
"I want a ticket to leave this train—you know how to leave but you've never left, which means you can't leave."
"But you must still have things you want to do, right? At least you haven't finished what brought you and Ponkdo to this point."
When Lin Yu said this, Baron Coleman understood what he meant.
"That matter is far more valuable than how to obtain the 'ticket'."
Baron Coleman replied.
"Then you can make up something else," Lin Yu said lightly, "I certainly don't mind making the deal fairer."
"I think you misunderstood me, or maybe you're deliberately trying to get me to make it clear," Coleman said. "You should be aware of what I did back then... I wanted to kill 'Paris,' the current president of Truth Company, who had become a monster."
"In the ten years I've been stuck on this train, he's become even scarier."
"If you can easily make such a promise, I can only suspect... that you have no idea how terrifying he is."
Coleman said, Lin Yu stared at him.
"Yes, I don't know President Paris. To be honest, although I know something about the Truth Company, I don't know enough..."
"But, my dear Baron, I think you don't know me well enough."
As he spoke, Lin Yu took out the ID card belonging to "Vill Valetti" with his left hand.
Coleman took a glance and then sighed: "No wonder, no wonder... No wonder you can make Punkto return to normal temporarily."
"You actually have that person's ID card... Did you inherit his estate?"
"In a sense, it was me," Lin Yu said calmly, "and I dealt with the mess that he hadn't cleaned up yet."
Coleman sighed. "Okay, I admit you're quite capable, but even so, Paris is to you..."
"Look carefully."
Lin Yu brought the card closer, almost sticking it to the outside of the jar, and his sleeves slipped down slightly, revealing his now slender and white arms.
Coleman glanced at the ID card and found nothing unusual.
But soon, this baron, who was definitely a smart man, noticed what Lin Yu really wanted him to see.
The gray mark that slowly appeared on the other person's wrist.
His pupils constricted and a string of bubbles emerged from under his mask.
The next moment, the baron pressed his index finger against his temple, and a muffled sound came from under the tank.
Then, the transparent liquid began to fall at a rapid speed!
In just a moment, the liquid in the tank was emptied.
After emptying, Baron Coleman stood flat on the ground, and then the transparent barrier slowly descended below.
The wet baron took off his mask and lowered his voice.
It was the first time he spoke in his own voice - his voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because he hadn't spoken in a long time.
"Ms. Zhu Ming, I now believe in your ability."
He understood Lin Yu's intention - this mark could not even be shown to his companions behind him.
Lin Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.
This guy really knows what he's doing.
From the beginning, he didn't think that the "Ville Valetti" relationship would impress the Baron.
Although the past of "Punkto" gradually surfaced, Lin Yu vaguely felt that although "Vill Valetti" might only have B-level authority, his status within the Truth Company might be quite high for some reason.
But in the final analysis, it's still B grade!
Although Chat is very powerful, that is ultimately due to an accident and the right timing and location.
If one wants to convince a baron who may have A-level authority, one must have a more convincing identity.
So, Lin Yu remembered Will Valetti, who recognized his identity in the Snow Mountain copy.
Therefore, Lin Yu guessed...
Perhaps Baron Coleman could do it too.
And it turned out that his guess was correct.
Coleman indeed recognized the mark on his hand as a gift from God.
but……
The bad news is that Coleman is a little too knowledgeable.
"Although I no longer doubt your ability, I now have some doubts. Will you really fulfill your promise?"
