Chapter 888: The past of Lao Zheng and Morse, and Fu Luo approaching his goal
After answering Lin Yu's question, Crow did not linger any longer to give Lin Yu the opportunity to ask further questions, but directly cut off the connection.
The mysterious aura completely dissipated from Lin Yu's wrist.
Afterwards, Lin Yu was not surprised.
"Running pretty fast..."
Looking at the faded crow sketch on his wrist, Lin Yu sighed.
Although Lin Yu didn't even know what his sister had left for him through the crow, he couldn't even be sure whether the crow was lying to him.
but……
Since the other party answered, it was already a big surprise to Lin Yu.
Although this information is not much, it is a new clue.
After returning, I still have to find out which of the [props] I already have might be the one that Lin Zhao used back then.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu picked up Lao Zheng.
"Old Zheng, do you think that guy is lying to me?"
Old Zheng smiled helplessly. "You're asking me to try to discern whether the 'God of Truth, Illusion, and Change' is lying to you? Boss, aren't you overestimating me a bit?"
Lin Yu touched his chin: "It doesn't matter, just treat it as a guess... Use the information you already know to analyze it."
"That seems plausible to me. After all, Kirishima is a world well-suited for 'inheritance'—it's a world that experienced a 'civilizational hiatus' and apocalyptic catastrophe. Therefore, that civilization, in its efforts to save itself, naturally developed many technologies for 'inheritance'—so that the things and information they wish to pass on can still be passed on smoothly after experiencing changes over time."
Lao Zheng paused and said, "This is one of the reasons why I chose to leave my legacy here in Kirishima..."
"But the main reason is because your lover is here."
Lin Yu spoke softly.
Lao Zheng surrendered immediately: "Boss, I was wrong. Please don't bring this up again - why didn't I realize you were such a gossipy person before?"
Lin Yu shrugged: "I don't usually gossip, but yours is really unusual."
"Okay, enough nonsense, let's get back to that 'diving merchant' Morse. Was he one of the two deputies of the Lord of Kirishima?"
Lin Yu asked.
Although he knew that there was a saying that this "diving merchant" was actually the deputy of the Lord of Kirishima, but... this saying had no special basis.
After all, this guy has never even shown his face.
However, the crow's attitude just now was a hint to Lin Yu.
Since Lao Zheng, the first generation "Freud", knows about the other party, it means... this guy must have had some connection with Lao Zheng.
Lin Yu naturally did not forget that when Lao Zheng killed the Lord of Kirishima, the Lord of Kirishima's most trusted right-hand man also made great efforts.
Sure enough, Lao Zheng nodded and gave a positive answer.
"Indeed, he was one of Lord Kirishima's two most trusted subordinates back then... and he was the first one I persuaded to betray Lord Kirishima."
As Lao Zheng spoke, Lin Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Oh? Then he should be your closest comrade. Why is he so wary of you?"
As Lin Yu spoke, Lao Zheng laughed awkwardly: "Haha, this is a long story..."
"Then let's make a long story short."
Lin Yu said calmly.
Old Zheng sighed. Having been with Lin Yu for so long, he knew that once Lin Yu knew what he was hiding, it would be almost impossible to keep it hidden.
Therefore, he could only briefly tell the truth.
"Well... this guy, possessing an 'ancient soul and consciousness' but without a physical body, actually has a deep affection and sense of responsibility for this world. In other words, he's one of those people in Kirishima who has a heart full of love and cares for all."
"So, back then, I didn't convince him by relying on some charisma or developing any feelings for him that led to our collusion. I simply told him that the Lord of Kirishima was planning to become a god himself, perhaps even borrowing authority from another world. I exposed his hypocrisy... and that's when he decided to rebel against me."
"After all, borrowing the authority of another world to become a god would have a very negative impact on the world."
As Lao Zheng spoke, Lin Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Then how did he develop an opinion about you?"
To be honest, Lin Yu already had a vague guess in his mind, but he still asked.
Old Zheng chuckled sheepishly, "Because he discovered that I was planning to recreate the apocalypse."
"Oh awesome! I didn't know you had such an arrangement. I knew that even though killing the Kirishima Lord was outrageous enough, you definitely wouldn't just kill the Kirishima Lord and then start a lunatic asylum."
Lin Yu gave Lao Zheng a thumbs up.
"You intend to use this as a 'super trial ground' for players, if you can fully understand the principles and causes of the 'Doomsday Catastrophe' and replicate it, even on a small scale, to identify true geniuses or significantly accelerate the growth of players you believe have potential, right?"
Lin Yu asked, and Lao Zheng was extremely surprised: "Boss, I knew that you are particularly suitable to join the "Psychology Society"... Even within the organization, there are not many people who can keep up with my thinking."
"Fuck off!"
Lin Yu said this bluntly and stuffed Lao Zheng back into the [Prop Space] again.
Although we still don't know why Morse made a deal with the players and then killed them, it's a bit hard to justify...
But judging from his reaction to Lao Zheng, Lin Yu felt that this person's stance was generally good!
……
……
……
While Lin Yu was negotiating underwater, the players along the coast of Frustra City had already gone deep into the sea and were surrounded by the Heir of the Absolute Sea.
Groups of starfish surrounded the "living soul" that dared to actively enter the hinterland, and frantically attacked the players' defenses according to their primitive soul-eating instincts.
Naturally, they did not "go into the water" directly - Nineteen continuously threw the "freezing potions" in the white frost bottles to the sea surface, and used these potions to create an ice path on the vast sea.
Moving along the ice track, players' speed is not slow, and they do not need to face enemies from all directions like they would in the water.
After all, the sea surface frozen by the freezing potion is extremely thick, and those starfish cannot be destroyed immediately.
and so……
Although the starfish were still frantically rushing towards the ice, in essence they were no different from before on the shore.
With the joint efforts of Wang Jiu, Chlorpromazine, Nineteen and Katie, they are escorting Fu Luo closer and closer to the designated location of the portal!
