Chapter 488: Solo Action and Plan
Chapter 488: Solo Action and Plan
Lin Yu's remarks undoubtedly gave everyone a new understanding of the arrogance of this seemingly ordinary young man.
Indeed, Lin Yu's words sound reasonable.
After all, in the city that never sleeps, no matter which of the three major companies' technology trees can create extremely powerful individual soldiers, no technology is without side effects.
Few direct descendants of nobles would be ruthless enough to give themselves high-standard combat power transformation methods.
Art Mercury, who once served as the head of the Mercury family, must now be just an ordinary old man.
If you were really sitting face to face with Art Mercury, he would be easy to kill.
but……
"If you want to reach this old man, you'll need to bypass dozens of bodyguards and company experts who are more ruthless than those of the gang bosses. The thugs hired by the nobles are not vegetarians," the captain reminded calmly. "I believe you are not here to be a death squad, so you must also consider how to escape unscathed after the killing."
Lin Yu heard the captain's reminder and still maintained his previous arrogance: "I know, but you also said that this old guy was the acting head of the family fifty years ago."
"He's out of fashion!"
"So, there's always a way to circumvent the remaining security guards, and there's always a way to evacuate."
"Even if more people protect him, as long as he remains vulnerable, I have ample room to maneuver..."
He stood up.
"Alright, I already know who the target of the mission is. Everyone, see you at the Nevernight Manor in three days."
Lin Yu said this, stood up and left the box.
"Hey, wait."
The captain looked at Lin Yu and asked, "Aren't you going to discuss cooperation with them?"
Bone Spur also frowned: "Yeah, don't you really think that assassinating Art Mercury is a simple matter?"
Lin Yu stopped and waved his hand: "I told you, I know a little bit about everything, so instead of cooperating - you might as well treat me as Plan B, another active team."
"It's precisely because this task is so difficult that we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket, right?"
The captain frowned.
"You want to move freely, and I have no objection, but... I need to make sure you don't leak the information."
Lin Yu looked at him and said calmly: "Then you should have some precautions - because even if I don't leave on my own initiative, you should have prepared a way to silence everyone and prevent any of us from being traitors."
After all, this selection method is too crude - it only values ability and not resume.
Such a crude screening method and such a serious task must be accompanied by extremely strict confidentiality measures.
The captain looked at Lin Yu, took out a metal bracelet from his arms and threw it to Lin Yu.
"That's right—you should wear this bracelet."
"Don't worry, it doesn't have any positioning or eavesdropping capabilities. It simply has 'emotion' detection input. If you have thoughts of 'betrayal' or 'leaking secrets', the corresponding emotional fluctuations will be captured by it, and then I will know everything."
The captain said this, then added, as if offering a suggestion, "This thing is prototype-level sensitive. In other words, even if you've undergone professional anti-emotional training, it's difficult to hide it—unless you are completely confident that you will not betray or leak information and are completely convinced that you will not do anything to betray or leak information."
As the captain spoke, Lin Yu directly buckled it on his wrist.
The bracelet automatically tightened and stuck tightly to Lin Yu's skin, as if it was embedded in it.
"Don't worry, I won't leak the secret... I want to complete this commission more than anyone else."
Having said that, Lin Yu left the box directly.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"call……"
"What a complicated team."
Everyone in this room is extraordinary.
This is why Lin Yu took the mission target and ran away quickly.
Admittedly, staying in this team might allow you to get some teammates who are temporarily useful... but the risks are also multiplied.
To achieve Lin Yu's "upgrade", he needs to complete the assassination commission and get the reward through this "copy".
So he couldn't take any risks.
He had to do it in the safest way possible.
The biggest problem with this team is that they are unreliable!
Not to mention that there was a person named Zhu Rong mixed in there who was suspected to be a player, and might even be a high-level player.
The captain alone is no simple character - he is too suspicious.
A close confidant of a nobleman would definitely not be so rich, nor would he have such high authority in a mission of this level.
Those people were blinded by the rewards, but Lin Yu was not!
And something's not right about that big ball - this guy knows almost everything?
Is this the knowledge an ordinary mercenary should have? This is definitely not something that can be fooled by a simple statement like "I'm good at repairing equipment."
He even showed an excessive understanding of certain information about the nobles.
The captain is a close confidant of the nobles, so it's understandable that he knows some news about the nobles... How did you, a mercenary from Gray Third Street, get this information?
As for Bone Spur...this guy should be the only truly normal mercenary.
He did not hide his identity and his past was that of a mercenary with a clean record of murder and arson.
But he is just stupid!
The remaining three people have a combined total of eight hundred minds, and Bone Spur will definitely become the "battlefield" and "tool" of the entire team.
So Lin Yu was very sure that the best choice was not to hang out with this team.
The water here is too turbid - Lin Yu doesn't need to muddy the water this time.
After walking out of the bar, Lao Zheng's voice rang out.
"I've used my perception to confirm that the method's general function should be just as it says. It doesn't have any eavesdropping function..."
Lin Yu nodded.
"Thank you, Lao Zheng. I feel relieved now..."
"It's my job, but I'm curious—I wouldn't team up with those guys with ulterior motives and unknown origins, but if you act alone, how are you going to infiltrate the manor and complete the assassination?"
Lin Yu smiled.
"I don't know exactly what to do yet, but... I have a rough idea and I'm going to try it out."
"It's just relatively risky, so I don't plan to expose it in front of them."
As he spoke, Lin Yu's hand brushed across his face, the [Mask] was activated, and he played with the [Fake] in his hand.
Then...
Lin Yu walked out of Huisan Street and onto the streets of the outer city.
There were many black cars parked on the streets of the outer city. Lin Yu found one of them. The driver leaning against the car door looked at Lin Yu and spoke lazily.
"Where are you going, handsome?"
The [fake] in Lin Yu's hand turned and turned into a baseball cap which he put on his head.
"Go to the inner city, the headquarters of Truth Company."
Lin Yu spoke with a Henan accent.
