Chapter 1425 The Valley of People is Sleeping, But Where is the Paper Kite?
"The connection between the two identities of 'Schreber' and 'director' must be made through Lao Zheng and the original 'Freud'. The connection between the two is discovered through 'mental power' as the first common point. It is also inevitable to assume that 'mental power' is the 'cause' of the connection between these two identities, rather than a 'result'."
"So... in the end, 'Schreber' and 'the director' will probably present the effect of 'fellow students' who have taken different paths and have different ideas."
"And this relationship can even explain why 'Schreber' may have been silent for so long, and may be a senior 'Tier 3' expert 'player', but has only recently become known to people... partly because he inherited the legacy of the first 'Freud' and began to have the ability to realize his ambitions."
"On the other hand, it can also be explained that it was because of the recent rapid rise of the 'Director' that he decided to 'come out of retirement' - this turns the somewhat intriguing coincidence of the 'Director' and 'Schreber', two 'players' of different ranks and possibly even different qualifications, becoming famous around the same time and frequently appearing in the same places into a 'cause' - because of his current status, 'Schreber' may indeed be deliberately getting close to the 'Director'."
"In short, although Zuo Xi was the first to discover it, it was a good thing," Lin Yu thought. "If even Zuo Xi could be misled by this direction, it means that it is entirely feasible."
“I could even use this ‘writer’ lady’s’ rich imagination to complete this story that is not quite complete for me, and make this experience even more seamless.”
After saying goodbye to Zuo Xi, on his way back to the 'Order' rest area, Lin Yu quickly thought things through and soon sorted out his thoughts.
He couldn't help but sigh, realizing that he had indeed come up with a great idea.
Despite being just an ordinary person who isn't very good at planning, thanks to his good habit of being cautious in everything and thinking several steps ahead, he has now actually come up with an arrangement that can fool even geniuses and even take advantage of them.
I suppose I haven't let down the "only profession" of "fraudster".
"In short, the plan to complete the identity of 'Schreber' is starting to get on track... Although the original intention was to use these frequent activities to make the people on the 'Order' side vaguely aware of the connection between the two, starting with the 'pen name' is not a bad idea either."
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then returned to the rest area of 'Order'.
When Liang Ye saw Lin Yu return, she quickly waved to him.
"You little brat, that's been long enough... Did something really break out backstage? You've been gone for so long... But that doesn't make sense, if something did break out, why didn't you call for help?"
Lin Yu sat down next to Liang Ye again and said with a smile, "The backstage is very calm. Although the change of order has caused some commotion in the various teams, no one has started any conflicts yet."
Yin Lan asked, "So... have you found out the reason for the switch?"
“Most of them seemed to be unaware of the situation, so I didn’t ask… However, I do have a general idea of what happened,” Lin Yu said calmly. “Based on my observation, it should just be ‘Nioh’s’ personal behavior—he wasn’t in the designated studio when he was reading, so he was probably wandering around the venue while reading impromptu.”
"As for whether he did it for fun or with ulterior motives... I don't know. After all, as you said, 'Dionysus,' he's a rather easygoing guy, and no one in the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' can stop him."
Lin Yu said slowly.
Yin Lan sighed and said, "What you said is indeed the most likely scenario... To be frank, that guy isn't exactly a 'reliable' person sometimes."
This can be seen as a roundabout way of confirming Lin Yu's somewhat speculative idea.
"Damn it, since that guy is 'unreliable,' why did you still let him host this segment?"
Liangye said with dissatisfaction.
Yin Lan glanced at Liang Ye sideways: "What right do you have to say that, Commander-in-Chief?"
Liang Ye sensed the obvious sarcasm in Yin Lan's voice and said unhappily, "Hey, 'God of Wine,' what the hell do you mean? Am I unreliable too?"
Yin Lan was surprised: "Do you really think you're reliable all the time?"
Liang Ye was somewhat angry: "I am usually... well, a bit casual, but if you let me host this segment, I definitely won't announce the order randomly. I can still do simple things like this, where I'm given instructions and there's a plan!"
Lin Yu spoke softly, "Indeed, Captain Liang Ye wouldn't make such a mistake as calling out the wrong order and causing a commotion..."
Liang Ye was overjoyed: "Damn it, even the 'director' said so! My comrade who has worked with me for a long time knows me best!"
"I can only say that although I'm a bit careless and undisciplined, my work ability is still acceptable! That's what you call 'harmless'!"
Liang Ye said smugly.
Yin Lan rolled her eyes: "'Harmless' is not something you can judge for yourself."
Lin Yu continued, "...The mistakes Captain Liang Ye makes are mostly forgetting to turn off the public microphone when he's scrolling through short videos in the studio, letting everyone hear him scrolling for a few minutes."
Yin Lan, who was about to complain that Lin Yu's support for Liang Ye had led to Liang Ye taking advantage of her, paused for a moment upon hearing this, and then laughed.
"Hahaha, that's really how it is... So you weren't saying that Ryouya is reliable after all!"
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Liang Ye's face flushed red, and she said with difficulty, "Damn it, I..."
He wanted to argue, but after hearing Lin Yu's words, Liang Ye could imagine the awkward scene Lin Yu had described—and, Liang Ye asked himself, he also felt that this was very likely to happen and that he was very likely to do it.
Therefore, unable to refute, Liang Ye could only sigh deeply and complain about Lin Yu.
"Damn it, why are you bringing up my weaknesses like that!"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "This isn't exactly exposing someone's shortcomings... After all, in terms of impact, it's still better than 'Nioh's' actions."
"People will just laugh it off at most, they won't care too much, and it won't cause any disturbance."
As Lin Yu spoke, another round of applause rang out from the crowd.
Another candidate on stage finished their speech.
Although everyone present applauded together, Lin Yu could tell that the applause was now mostly just polite applause.
Once each candidate takes the stage, the reactions of the people below can give a basic indication of the differences in "popularity".
There is indeed a significant gap between the top three candidates and the other candidates.
Especially since these are already quite far down the list of candidates, none of them are like 'Xi Chen' who still has some popularity.
The voice of "Nioh" rang out again, and taking advantage of this change of personnel, Lin Yu started a new topic.
"Oh right... I was so focused on seeing the two of you that I forgot to ask, where did 'Human Valley' and 'Paper Kite' go?"
Lin Yu asked casually.
After all, upon returning to the 'Order' rest area, he only saw Yin Lan and Liang Ye, but not 'Ren Gu' or 'Zhi Yuan'.
When the topic turned to the Valley of Men, Liang Ye got quite excited.
"Xi Ba is such an unreliable guy. After listening to 'Mikan,' 'Shang Gen,' and 'Monica,' he kept yawning. Then Xi Ba said something like, 'I don't think the people behind me are interesting, there's no need to listen, I'm going to take a nap.' After that, he went to the lounge... Isn't Xi Ba disorganized and undisciplined?"
Yin Lan said, "Ren Gu has used his abilities one after another, so it must be very tiring. It's reasonable for him to take a break. Don't make a fuss about it and try to drag this hardworking comrade Ren Gu down to your level... Besides, if you really care so much, why didn't you just refute him when he brought it up earlier?"
Liang Ye muttered after Yin Lan said that, "I don't really have any problem with him..."
Yin Lan raised an eyebrow: "So you have a problem with me?"
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Lin Yu quickly smoothed things over: "I know about the Valley of Men, but what about 'Paper Kite'?"
Liang Ye casually said, "Oh, 'Paper Kite'? He said he went out for some fresh air, to use the restroom, and to wash his face... He's probably still wandering around somewhere right now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's expression turned serious: "You two... you're just letting him roam freely like this?"
"How long has he been out for some fresh air? I've been in the venue for a while, and I haven't seen him anywhere."
As Lin Yu said this, Liang Ye and Yin Lan also became more serious, but neither of them were particularly on high alert.
“That can’t be right. Even if Paper Kite is planning to do something outrageous, it can’t happen this quickly,” Liangye said. “He announced his departure before the two candidates, about five or six minutes after you left, even in front of the Valley of People… It seems like he’s been missing for quite a while now?”
Yin Lan frowned slightly: "He did look unwell when he left, and he kept looking at his phone, as if he had seen something..."
Lin Yu's tone became even more serious: "Honestly, don't you guys think this guy looks like he's about to kill someone? Let's put it this way, if you hear news of 'Paper Kite' killing someone later, and you combine that with what you just saw, don't you think it's not so incongruous?"
Liang Ye and Yin Lan's expressions had already turned sour, but Liang Ye still spoke up, "Damn it... but that's just your guess, there's no conclusive evidence yet!"
The words fell...
"boom!"
The speech on stage was interrupted, and a deafening sound came from the loudspeaker, sounding like some kind of gunshot!
Lin Yu, Liang Ye, and Yin Lan jumped up from their seats.
"not good!"
