Chapter 528 Strange Code
Chapter 528 Strange Code
As soon as Lin Yu said this, even Zhu Rong, who was sitting on the side and listening, couldn't help but look up.
"what?"
The woman who called herself "Your Excellency" on the communicator was relatively calm, but she was obviously surprised by Lin Yu's words.
"You want to... kill the princes and nobles?"
"Why, do you want revenge?"
The other party asked.
Lin Yu's answer was even more concise: "No, I have no grudge against the princes and nobles... If I must say, this is like going hunting in the mountains."
"For survival—even though you might be able to survive by eating fruits you pick without hunting, but having meat to eat will always make life better, and the chances of surviving various situations will also be greater."
The woman on the communicator was silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Comparing the nobility to meat? What an arrogant statement."
"You think that nobles can't be compared to meat, which is a manifestation of your arrogance," Lin Yu said bluntly, "Although you say that you don't consider yourself a noble...but deep down you still feel that you 'should' be..."
"You just hate yourself for not being one of those direct descendants or heirs."
Lin Yu said bluntly.
The other party didn't deny it. "Of course. Anyone in our position would naturally feel rifts, jealousy, and dissatisfaction. If I'd been born a commoner, perhaps my resentment and indignation wouldn't have been so intense... But the closer you get to the centers of power, the clearer that supreme authority becomes, almost as if it's within your grasp... When you realize you're destined to never touch it, you feel a growing sense of loss."
"You can call me greedy or overestimating my own capabilities—I really don't accept that."
At this point, the other party paused and said: "So, you want to kill the princes and nobles. This does sound terrible, but... you found the right person."
"Tell me, who are you going to kill? After all, there are many among the princes and nobles."
After hearing what the other party said, Lin Yu did not answer directly.
"You mentioned 'we' just now... In other words, you actually represent a certain invisible alliance or organization, which contains many marginalized young people from royal and noble families like you, right?"
"It also includes some of the side branches of powerful dukes and marquises, those who have been abandoned, but the majority are royal nobles," the other party whispered. "Why do you ask this?"
"I want to know your names."
Lin Yu said frankly.
"I'm sorry, although I've decided to trust you and am willing to take a gamble and talk to you and reveal our existence, but if I just give you my name," she paused, "I don't think there's that level of trust between us yet, Mr. Forboluo."
"After all, you're still working for Nevernight Huo Le," the woman on the communicator said cautiously. "It's already extremely risky for me to reveal this to you. Isn't this enough to express my sincerity?"
"I just told you, I'm going to kill the princes and nobles."
Lin Yu reiterated.
The woman on the communicator said in confusion, "Yes, I heard that... Are you trying to show your sincerity by sharing your plan?"
"I do feel it, but this light sentence is not enough for me to reveal our list..."
Lin Yu interrupted her rudely.
"You don't understand what I mean... I said I would kill the princes and nobles, so I'm not sure if any of your companions are among those I want to kill. If you provide me with their names, I can avoid them."
"I'm thinking about your little organization!"
Lin Yu's words once again shocked the woman in the communicator.
"You mean... you want to kill more than one prince?"
"Apparently yes."
Lin Yu spoke proudly.
The woman was shocked and asked the question again: "Why?"
She was extremely curious about Lin Yu's motives.
"What good will it bring to you if you kill the princes and nobles?"
"And from what you said... you don't need to kill any specific princes and nobles. You can choose to kill or not kill them yourself - as long as they are princes and nobles, right?"
"Don't worry about us 'Visitors from Another World'. You wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you," Lin Yu said, waving his hand. "In short, since I want to cooperate with you, I naturally don't want to kill your companions. It would be even worse if I killed you, Excellency."
The woman on the communicator fell silent.
Even Zhu Rong looked at Lin Yu with awe.
Especially since he had personally fought with Lin Yu, he had a deep understanding of the strength of the man in front of him.
He knew that with the abilities Lin Yu had demonstrated and his status and influence in the Buyetian family... perhaps this was not just empty talk.
"Well, compared to ordinary princes and nobles, I might be more difficult to kill. Besides, I heard from Zhu Rong that you seem to know what I look like, so when you see me, just go easy on me."
Lin Yu was a little surprised: "You didn't disguise yourself when you were in the outer city?"
"Yes... Among our group of 'outcasts', my situation is particularly dire. To the point that almost no one in the City That Never Sleeps knows my current appearance," he chuckled softly. "Thanks to this incident, I can now move around freely in my true form."
"That's not like Sheng Lankui... Sheng Lankui went to the outer city to take on commissions and seek excitement, so at least he had to disguise himself carefully."
As Lin Yu spoke, the other party was surprised again: "You even know this?"
"My connections in the outer city aren't better than those of you princes and nobles?"
Lin Yu asked back with a sneer.
The other party exhaled: "That's true."
"Since you told me to show mercy after I see you, how about this? Let's agree on a code," Lin Yu said. "If your people are assassinated, you can try to exchange codes with the assassins. If the codes match, you can spare their lives."
"Of course, if you die before you can even say the codeword... then you'll just have to accept your bad luck."
The woman on the communicator was surprised. "So you're not alone either... Indeed, what you're aiming for is quite significant, and it's certainly difficult to accomplish on your own."
Of course Lin Yu was alone.
But sometimes, he alone can be equal to many people.
So, Lin Yu did not deny it.
"Anyway, you come up with the content of the code."
The other party thought for a moment and said, "Let's use half a poem from your world. Zhu Rong told me this poem about the sea. I personally like it very much."
"A bright moon rises over the sea..."
Lin Yu was about to say "We are at the same time, even though we are far apart", but he heard the other party say it again.
"...The stars shine brightly in the blue sky."
Lin Yu was stunned.
"Okay, that's it."
He agreed.
At least as a code, this one is indeed confidential enough.
"Okay, if you need help in the future, you can contact me through Zhu Rong."
The other party said this and then hung up the call.
Lin Yu handed the communicator to Zhu Rong and couldn't help but complain.
"What the hell are you teaching?"
Zhu Rong also sighed: "I am a 'peasant', how can I understand poetry?"
