"S rank? Your potential is S rank?"
Wang Yuyang and Li Nian simultaneously turned to look at Lin Yu, their faces showing identical expressions of disbelief.
Though Li Nian had previously stolen the Psychological Society's roster and confird that Xia Yue's rating should be above A, she had only thought Xia Yue would be A or A level.
Who could have imagined it would be S rank!
Even Lin Yu himself was shocked.
"What in the world? Xia Yue's potential is S rank?"
So the monster he encountered in his first dungeon was actually viewed this highly by the Psychological Society?
Wait, considering his own rating seed to be no lower, Lin Yu still felt this organization's rating standards had so flaws.
Though countless thoughts raced through his mind, he remained calm on the surface.
"It's actually that high? Though I don't really trust your organization's standards... After all, you just said I 'failed to beco a player'—this shows your organization's information is incorrect."
"I'm perfectly fine appearing here as a player."
"And this is clearly inside a Death Ga dungeon."
Lin Yu spoke calmly.
Pan Yuqiang looked at Lin Yu, falling into thought.
"Oh dear, that's right... Could it be that Fluoxetine's report was wrong?"
"But she clearly confird your death—even the information from Order's side says the sa."
Lin Yu sighed.
"Well, I can proudly say that I actually managed to deceive two powerful organizations all by myself."
By now, Lin Yu was gradually realizing that although encountering Wang Yuyang and Pan Yuqiang here was unexpected...
These two people's identities—one being a Free Alliance mber, the other a Psychological Society mber!
While this posed a trendous challenge to his use of the "Xia Yue" identity for activities, it was also an opportunity.
With appropriate acting, the "setup" he recently created regarding the "Zhu Ming" and "Xia Yue" identities could beco even more credible within this dungeon.
It might even completely deceive Fluoxetine herself and the entire Death Ga player community.
The key lay with these two people before him.
So, Lin Yu appropriately displayed so anger.
"But honestly, I didn't have to go that far... I won't criticize how your Psychological Society enthusiastically finds promising ordinary people, kills them, and tries to pull them into the Death Ga, since that's your operational purpose," his tone remained gentle but now carried so hidden sharpness, "but please, Miss Citalopram, bring back so reform suggestions to your organization... Before executing such operations, could you please confirm whether I've already beco a player?"
Lin Yu adopted a sowhat headache-inducing appearance, speaking with a tone half helpless, half resentful: "Can you understand what it felt like being suddenly attacked by a Psychological Society Third Tier expert that day... Though faking death to deceive that Fluoxetine might seem sothing to be proud of from your perspective, it was just a desperate move I made to survive at the ti."
"I consud at least three precious items, and even made my family and friends believe it... Now I can't return ho, my mother and sister think I'm really dead—my sister is about to take her high school entrance exams, this is a huge blow to her, what if she fails?"
"And now I find out... it was all a misunderstanding, damn it, I was unlucky enough to enter this ga two months ago, who knew sothing even worse would happen a month ago—death is sothing ordinary people experience only once in their lifeti, yet I've already 'died' twice!"
Lin Yu's tone grew increasingly agitated.
He displayed an appropriate level of "loss of control" that matched Xia Yue's personality.
The emotional intensity was enough to make Pan Yuqiang and the others present believe her words and beco imrsed in her not entirely credible yet quite reasonable logic.
Of course, Lin Yu knew very well.
Whether Wang Yuyang, Pan Yuqiang, or Li Nian—none were ordinary characters.
Even if montarily affected by emotions...
They would likely realize sothing was off afterward.
So, to make Xia Yue's identity an "established fact," Lin Yu didn't hesitate to use the Teeth of Prophecy once.
He chose to make all three believe his final statent—"death is sothing ordinary people experience only once in their lifeti, yet I've already died twice."
For Lin Yu... whether referring to himself or Xia Yue, this happened to be an accurate, undeniable truth.
Of course, for "Xia Yue," she could be considered to have died three tis—depending on how you count.
But absolutely no one in the world besides Lin Yu could know what truth this statent actually represented.
Thus, the unconditional belief brought by the Teeth of Prophecy was enough to make the four players present have no remaining doubts about Lin Yu's carefully crafted background for "Xia Yue," completely believing his ticulously woven story.
And among these four players present, there were two Free Alliance mbers and one Psychological Society mber.
They all had sufficient influence to affect how other mbers of their organizations judged the "Zhu Ming" identity.
As for the remaining Chen Zhuo, though a newcor, upon careful thought, he had after all experienced the first round with him, making him soone who might actually suspect Xia Yue's identity.
So, even though after this use, the Teeth of Prophecy had only one use remaining, Lin Yu felt...
It was worth it.
For a mont, the remaining four players looked at Lin Yu with his slightly reddened eyes and, under that completely logical "belief," began comforting her.
"It's okay, what matters is you're still alive... This really was poorly handled by the Psychological Society."
Wang Yuyang spoke awkwardly—normally this had nothing to do with him, but this Free Alliance mber seed to have a strange sense of responsibility.
It seed because his girlfriend Pan Yuqiang was from the Psychological Society, he felt so sense of belonging toward them too.
As for Pan Yuqiang, she was even more apologetic: "I'll definitely report this accurately when I return... Though I'm only B rank, I do have so voice within the organization."
Li Nian scratched her head, changing the subject from this heavy topic: "Hey, Zhu Ming... Never thought you had this side to you."
"But after joining the Free Alliance, if we encounter Fluoxetine again, I can help you take her down, damn it—that woman really isn't much good!"
At that mont, Pang Kedo's voice interrupted the sowhat awkward atmosphere among the players.
"Hey everyone, I found sothing good."
Earlier when they entered carriage D-3 and saw Li Nian seemingly catching up with acquaintances, Pang Kedo tactfully went to examine the bodies in the carriage.
And now, Pang Kedo seed to have found so useful items that even Pan Yuqiang had missed.
He waved a black pager-like device in front of everyone.
"This is a communicator exclusively for Truth Corporation supervisors, departnt heads, and directors—looks like there's soone with very high privileges on this Despair Train."
