In the room, Lin Yan sat alone. He took out the gray crystal again and implanted it into his body. It turned into a tattoo circle again and circled his arm.
Then, he took out the instrument he had obtained from the old man and aimed it at himself.
Beeps immediately sounded from the device. This meant that Puppet People had been detected.
“Looks like this gray crystal is indeed useful…”
After shaking out the crystal again, Lin Yan seized the time to continue perfecting his Four Symbols Spirit Array. There were many Formless Clones, so he might as well test them in batches without feeling any regret.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
“Brother Thigh, the news is here!”
Lin Yan got up, pushed the door open, and went downstairs with Cheng Yu’er.
The old man waited here respectfully and sized up Lin Yan curiously. He didn’t understand why Zhu Chong had to wait for him to arrive before beginning to listen to the information.
“Alright, go ahead.”
“Yes, Lord Zhu. I just asked around and heard that there are two channels to enter District Al.”
“Shoot.”
“The first one is a smuggler. It’s said that the man is from District Al. He works for a noble and can bring people into District Al. However, it’s only limited to… women.”
He glanced at Cheng Yu’er. Hua Ling was still upstairs and had not been called down.
Zhu Chong snorted. “Second!”
“Speaking of which, the second one is a little complicated. Furthermore, I can’t guarantee 100% safety.”
The old man coughed. “The second one is the recruitment notice from District Al. Coincidentally, in twelve hours, District Al will open to the public to recruit workers. They will recruit beast tamers, horticulturists, patrol guards, chefs, service maids… et cetera. There are a total of 100 people. If you are selected, you can naturally enter.”
“Are there any conditions or rules for recruitment?”
“There are no conditions. They won’t reject anyone, but you have to be professional.”
Lin Yan nodded. This was not a bad way. If he could sneak in, he could do it quietly.
Even if he couldn’t sneak in, he could follow the main force of District Al and directly enter District Al.
“Do we need to sign up in advance?”
“Yes, there’s still some time. I also brought the form. Sir, do you want to sign up too?”
“No, it’s just me.”
Of course, Zhu Chong would stay outside. It was more suitable for him to protect Cheng Yu’er.
The old man looked at Zhu Chong. Seeing that Zhu Chong was silent, he was even more surprised. He lowered his head and agreed.
Zhu Chong waved his hand. “You can leave.”
“Yes, sir.”
After the old man retreated, Lin Yan turned around and grabbed Cheng Yu’er’s hand. “What are you messing with behind my back?”
When the old man spoke just now, Cheng Yu’er had reached out and rubbed Lin Yan’s back. However, she was blocked by the Black Tortoise Divine Armor, so she was isolated in midair. As a result, Cheng Yu’er thought that she had not touched Lin Yan, so she kept scratching him up and down like a kitten’s claw.
“Brother Thigh, there’s something wrong with this old man!”
Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhu Chong.
Zhu Chong said matter-of-factly, “This old man’s surname is Sheng. He’s been in charge of District A4’s liaison department for more than ten years. He has an irreconcilable feud with the Puppet People. It’s said that he has always been loyal in order to take revenge. He has never been disloyal.”
Lin Yan nodded, but he looked at Cheng Yu’er seriously again. Human hearts would change, but Cheng Yu’er’s intuition didn’t seem to have gone wrong yet. “What’s wrong with him?”
Cheng Yu’er nodded. “I keep feeling that he has ill intentions.”
“Zhu Chong, go and ask Uncle Sheng about his previous grudge with the Puppet People and if anything has happened recently.”
“Yes, sir.”
Zhu Chong immediately stood up and went out.
“Cheng Yu’er, keep an eye on him and see what he has done.”
“What about you, Brother Thigh? Are you coming with me?”
Lin Yan stood up. “I still have something to do.”
Cheng Yu’er hurriedly stood up. “Huh… Brother Thigh! I feel danger! You have to follow me to be safe!”
Lin Yan turned around and looked at Cheng Yu’er speechlessly. He could sense that the strange energy fluctuations emitted from Cheng Yu’er’s body were constantly invading his body. The intuitive influence released wanted him to follow her!
“Since it’s dangerous… don’t go. I’ll get Hua Ling to go.”
At the thought of Hua Ling’s seductive figure, Cheng Yu’er hurriedly grabbed Lin Yan’s arm. “No, no, no! I’ll go, I’ll go!”
After returning to his room, Lin Yan continued his unfinished deduction. The Enlightenment Spiritual Light was thrown in as if it was free.
Not long after, Cheng Yu’er and Zhu Chong returned. Along with them was the old man surnamed Sheng who was held in Zhu Chong’s hand. His face was ashen and he was trembling.
Zhu Chong threw him to the ground. “This old bastard! How dare he betray the organization! When we found him, he was about to leak the information and report us!
“Fortunately, I stopped him in time. If we really go to the recruitment meeting, we would be lured into a trap and surrounded by the Puppet People!”
Old Sheng lay on the ground and kowtowed in fear. “Mercy, mercy!”
Lin Yan went downstairs and glanced at Cheng Yu’er. “Didn’t you guess correctly? Why do you still have such an expression?”
Cheng Yu’er was rather helpless. “I just feel that this old man’s life is quite tough.”
“How so?”
“More than ten years ago, his son and wife both died at the hands of the Puppet People. At that time, the God Slaying Organization avenged him, so he was loyal to God Slaying Organization..”
