Chapter 1583 The Power of a Grandmaster
Faced with Gu Mo's worries and doubts, Lin Yu was indeed on the verge of losing his composure for a moment.
However, as a professional actor with excellent acting skills, Lin Yu still managed to control his facial expressions well.
He responded to Gu Mo earnestly.
“I think I can do it... After all, don’t forget what my ‘profession’ is.”
“‘Best Actor’,” Gu Mo said in a low voice, “I acknowledge your acting skills. Your talent in acting is as amazing as mine in martial arts… But acting and deception, especially deceiving everyone, are not the same thing, ‘Director’.”
"You may be very good at acting, but can you really act all the time?"
What's so difficult about that?
Lin Yu really wanted to say that, but he pretended to have heard Gu Mo's words and fell into deep thought, finally nodding sadly.
"I will do my best."
He clenched his fist and said, "In any case, since this matter is of utmost importance to 'order' and the entire player community, I will do my best even if I haven't tried."
Gu Mo looked at Lin Yu with an appreciative expression: "As expected, there's a reason why Miao Miao values you..."
"I will help you no matter what—though I may not be able to do much."
Lin Yu shook his head and said, "Not at all, you can definitely provide me with a lot of help."
After he finished speaking, Gu Mo said, "In short, don't put too much pressure on yourself—we should still have some time to prepare for all of this."
"Although it won't be very long, it should definitely be considered... plentiful."
"Of course, before that, I will also try to find a way to resolve the issue of the 'game' authority."
Gu Mo said.
Although Lin Yu didn't think Gu Mo needed to worry about the "game" authority, he still nodded when he heard her say that.
"Thank you for your help."
Gu Mo looked at Lin Yu and reminded him again, "But the most important thing is your mindset... To be honest, I feel like I'm putting you in a difficult position."
"You can refuse."
Lin Yu said, "I have no reason to refuse."
Gu Mo said seriously, "I suggest you think about it carefully... 'Deception' might be an act that puts you under more pressure than you think."
“It’s especially unpleasant to deceive everyone, including those you trust and those who trust you.”
"Guilt, and other feelings, will overwhelm you."
Gu Mo closed her eyes, as if recalling something: "When I was fourteen, I was facing a bottleneck period, so I studied at a dojo in Indonesia. The master there was a very nice person... Because I had illegally entered the country and used some false identities, he thought I was a local and once wanted to train me as his successor."
"That was really not a good memory, and it even made my 'heart' waver at one point—during that period, I often lost in sparring with my fellow disciples, which was quite unusual."
Gu Mo recalled that Lin Yu was not surprised that the other party had such an experience.
He could sense Gu Mo's purity—and this "purity" was precisely the reason she could become a "Grandmaster".
A truly sincere and honest person would find "deception" to be a stressful and difficult thing, and therefore, it's only natural.
She was just worried about Lin Yu because of this...
Lin Yu felt that this was somewhat "judging a petty person by the standards of a gentleman".
Even after Gu Mo mentioned "guilt," Lin Yu belatedly realized something...
I don't seem to have felt any guilt while deceiving others.
Upon careful consideration, according to relatively universal values and morals, and even those values and morals that Lin Yu himself somewhat agrees with, he should indeed feel guilty about many of his actions.
But in fact……
He never did.
This made Lin Yu himself feel a little strange.
Is this... a consequence of 'acting' for too long?
"Or is it a congenital deficiency of mine?"
Lin Yu was somewhat at a loss for words to find the answer.
While Lin Yu was thinking, Gu Mo seemed to misunderstand the reason why Lin Yu was "deep in thought".
“You really don’t have to push yourself… While I advocate that members of ‘Order’ should take responsibility, this level of responsibility is not something you have to bear.”
Lin Yu snapped out of his reverie and put on a serious expression: "After careful consideration, I think... I can do it."
When Gu Mo heard Lin Yu's serious response again, she stopped insisting.
"Okay, now that you've made your choice, let's do our best to make it perfect."
For a moment, looking at Gu Mo's serious expression and tone, Lin Yu regretted his words and decisions.
At least... I should have refused Gu Mo and then secretly carried out this plan.
Although Gu Mo may be a great help, she is also definitely a major problem.
But now that he had made the decision, Lin Yu had no regrets.
In any case, dealing with Gu Mo doesn't seem to be a difficult thing for me.
After spending this brief time together, he had already figured out Gu Mo's temperament.
In short...
"Overall, it can be considered a good thing... After all, with the help or protection from the 'Grandmaster,' the subsequent actions will ultimately be more beneficial than harmful."
And after Lin Yu made this conclusion.
Just as Gu Mo was about to say something more...
Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the door again.
"Damn it! What's going on with you guys?!"
Liang Ye's shouts and curses rang out, as if he had gotten into an argument with someone.
Lin Yu and Gu Mo listened intently and quickly understood what the other party who had clashed with Liang Ye was saying.
"...Your 'Order' is going too far!"
"You suspected him yesterday, and today he's dead. What a coincidence!"
Gu Mo frowned: "People from the 'Player Mutual Aid Association'? Why would they yell at 'Good Night'?"
She had just returned to the real world and was not quite sure what had happened in the "Player Mutual Aid Association".
Lin Yu was able to deduce roughly what had happened from the vague words outside the door. He sighed and then spoke.
"A lot has happened in the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' these past two days..."
Afterwards, Lin Yu told Gu Mo about the cases that had occurred in the "Player Mutual Aid Association," including his suspicions about "God of Wine" and "Paper Kite."
then……
Lin Yu also added his speculation about what the person shouting outside the door was saying.
“When ‘Paper Kite’ left yesterday, he said he saw a candidate named ‘Rainy Bell.’ Judging from what he just said… that ‘Rainy Bell’ must have died last night.”
Gu Mo frowned even more deeply: "So many people have died? That's really strange!"
"Let's go out and take a look."
But as soon as Gu Mo finished speaking, a loud "bang" was heard, and the hotel room door had been forcibly opened.
A somewhat angry figure from "Good Night" retreated into the room, pointing at them and whispering, "What exactly are you bastards trying to do?! Do you want bastards to rebel?"
A group of experts from the "Player Mutual Aid Association" rushed into the room. The leader, "Shang Gen," said, "We are not trying to rebel, we just want an explanation—'Yu Linling' died in her room again yesterday. She was shot after someone broke in."
“Yesterday you suspected ‘Yu Linling’ of being the murderer and turned a blind eye to the missing ‘Zhiyuan’, but last night… ‘Yu Linling’ died again.”
Behind Shang Gen, someone immediately echoed his sentiments.
"I want to ask, even if it's 'order,' can it provoke us again and again like this?"
"Now even the 'God of Wine' has disappeared, what exactly are you 'Order' plotting?!"
“I trust your ‘Order’, but at least hand over ‘The Kite’—or allow us to search for ‘The Kite’s’ whereabouts!”
One after another, stern questions rang out.
Liang Ye's expression was unfriendly: "Damn it, I don't know what you mean. Even if you bastards suspect 'Paper Kite'... we are still searching for his whereabouts!"
"Do you think we're protecting 'Paper Kite' in West Eight?!"
Liang Ye stood at the door and retorted sharply.
However, it's clear that the members of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" who suddenly launched their attack do not agree with Liang Ye's statement.
Shang Gen spoke again.
“We didn’t mean that… but… we’re not making baseless accusations or holding anyone accountable.”
“Yesterday, one of our informants witnessed ‘Paper Kite’ being active near this hotel around 3 a.m.—and ‘Rainy Bell’ died about fifteen minutes later.”
"Therefore, we have every reason to suspect that perhaps your 'Order' temporarily sheltered 'Paper Kite,' but because you were also deceived by 'Paper Kite,' you gave him the motive and opportunity to sneak out in the middle of the night to commit a crime?"
Shang Gen paused for a moment after saying this.
"Of course, it's also possible that it wasn't a decision made at the level of your 'Order' organization. It's possible that someone who has a close personal relationship with 'Paper Kite' was deceived by him. Isn't that possible?"
"In any case, I think it's necessary for us to search the room where your 'Order' is located—this is also the basis for maintaining our good trust and cooperative relationship."
Shang Gen spoke earnestly, and the many members of the "Player Mutual Aid Association" around him echoed him again—as if these members and candidates from the factions that were originally competing with each other were actually of one mind.
"I advise you not to refuse a toast only to suffer the consequences!"
It's unclear who was shouting this from the crowd.
Lin Yu, standing behind Liang Ye, sighed softly.
"These people really don't understand Captain Liangye at all."
He could understand. Since Yin Lan wasn't there, these guys probably figured that now was the best option if they wanted to force the 'Order' to step down.
But have they considered how Liang Ye could be so assertive without anyone backing him up?
"I'd like to ask, who are you going to make suffer the consequences of their actions?"
A leisurely female voice rang out.
Gu Mo walked up to Liang Ye.
