Baron Coleman slowly revealed the dark side of what happened back then.
Both Pang Kedo, who had lost his mories, and Fu Luo, who had just learned all this, were utterly shocked, as if digesting what they had heard.
Only Lin Yu remained calm.
He spoke softly: "So then, what exactly is this 'truth'?"
Although Baron Coleman said he had inherited "Professor Dort's" legacy.
From the other's words, it wasn't difficult to see that this so-called "legacy" should be so research results, so conclusions—these should be considered part of the "legacy."
The remaining parts were probably partly controlled by Paris... the fact that the other party had now beco the CEO of Truth Corporation was enough proof of this.
And aside from Coleman and Paris, the final part of the legacy—the applied creations from these research results and conclusions, and the research materials used to reach these conclusions...
Lin Yu felt they should be in his hands.
[Ancient Notebook], [Fear Torch], [Fear Lens], [Chate's Supplies]...
After the pale flas ignited in the snowy mountain, everything in the world related to fear had burned to ashes, leaving only the final remnants that fell into his hands.
So, like CEO Paris, he needed the knowledge in Baron Coleman's mind.
"Although Your Lordship didn't explicitly state it, I think since you're still alive and present here, you probably destroyed those precious original data, and then... stored them in so way closely related to your life, right?"
Lin Yu said calmly.
Hearing Lin Yu's question and counter-question, a relieved smile appeared on Baron Coleman's face: "No wonder you were chosen by such an existence, you truly are talented."
"Correct, all of that exists in my mind."
As he spoke, he pointed to his own brain.
"I know you want those too, I have one final request."
Lin Yu wasn't surprised.
The negotiation had reached this point, it was indeed Baron Coleman's turn to make his final offer.
"Take him away from here, find a safe place—if possible, help him recover his mories as much as you can."
Baron Coleman pointed at Pang Kedo.
Pang Kedo was stunned again: "?"
Baron Coleman nodded, an unprecedentedly relaxed smile appearing on his face: "Yes, my friend, you need to leave this place and retrieve your mories."
"Although you killed Reed back then and undoubtedly betrayed once, we still fought side by side in the end—the fact that we've been stuck here together in such a wretched state is proof."
"You are still my friend after all... Now that you've regained your senses, leave this cage."
As Baron Coleman spoke, he took out a brilliant golden train ticket from his chest, held it between two fingers, and slipped it into Pang Kedo's pocket.
Pang Kedo stared blankly at the ticket, lost in thought.
"What do you think, my friend?"
Coleman spoke again, but this ti he was looking at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu smoothed the hair by her ear: "We've only been sowhat honest with each other for a little while, and we're already considered friends? This isn't how you try to get close to soone."
Her voice was gentle, as if joking, effectively shutting down Baron Coleman's attempt.
Coleman chuckled wryly: "It's true that I'm trying to get close, but you might not believe it... I'm actually the type with pretty accurate intuition."
"My intuition tells that if we had more opportunities to interact, we might beco good friends."
As Baron Coleman spoke, Lin Yu crossed her arms.
"I'll agree to your request—but, it seems this matter requires more than just my opinion."
She tilted her head, gesturing toward Pang Kedo standing beside her.
The tall, thin man finally snapped out of it and pulled out the ticket from his chest: "Hey, although I do want to leave, I can't accept it in this form."
"I just 'woke up' today, my mories incomplete, and now I suddenly learn so many 'truths'..."
Baron Coleman interrupted him: "That's exactly why you should leave this place, for your own sake and for mine, to complete those unfinished matters."
Hearing Baron Coleman's words, Pang Kedo said bluntly: "That's exactly what I wanted to say, of course I'll do what I want to do—but don't force your stuff on !"
"I won't accept your gift, I'll find my own way to leave!"
"Don't be naive," Baron Coleman said again, his voice already sowhat stern, "Do you think opportunities like this are easy to find? This train ticket alone is precious enough... Not to ntion, the mont you leave this Despair Train, all those directors, CEOs, and supervisors will swarm in. Do you know how many people are watching us, Pang Kedo!"
"Your empty brain knows nothing—having powerful people like these who don't belong to the company board the train is our best chance to leave!"
Pang Kedo raised his voice an octave: "Then you go yourself, why give this opportunity to ?!"
"You really are an idiot who forgot everything completely, let tell you, you need this ticket more than I do, a lonely man," Baron Coleman stepped forward, grabbed Pang Kedo by the collar, and said with frustration, "In those mories you lost... you fucking got married and had children!"
"You have a daughter waiting for you outside, dumbass—my entire family has passed away from illness, but you still have a child, you terrible father!"
Pang Kedo froze.
"What?"
Even though he had already experienced enough shocks today, he still felt sowhat dizzy at this mont.
Lin Yu appropriately explained for Pang Kedo: "This ti it seems like the truth."
"I have... a daughter?"
Coleman released his collar.
"Yes, you beca a dad," his tone and expression were very complex, mixed with helplessness and sarcasm, "So you need to go out, you need to go out more than I do—and besides, even with the help of these 'uninvited guests,' if either of us wants to leave, the other has to stay on the train as cover."
"This is a plan I've simulated many tis... although today is the first real chance to execute it."
Pang Kedo was puzzled again: "Then what's the plan? How are you going to cover for ?"
Baron Coleman didn't explain.
"Hurry and go, it's almost too late."
"Tch, looks like you're planning to fight and sacrifice yourself," Lin Yu saw through Baron Coleman's deeper aning, "How cliché, hiding in carriage number two all this ti... so part of your plan is to blow up this furnace, right?"
Baron Coleman was helpless.
"I know you're smart, but don't expose at a ti like this."
Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Pang Kedo, who had been about to leave, changed his mind again.
"I won't accept it!"
