Regarding the title of "The Executioner," although she was a veteran player active about a year ago and there had been almost no news of her in the past year, Lin Yu still knew of this title.

Because "The Executioner" was simply too famous a year ago.

This name had once killed six famous players on the Hunters' Association bounty list with rewards exceeding ten million level within a single week.

All were executed by "hanging."

Not only that, she also listed "charges" for all those she killed and posted them on the forum.

This extreme method caused much controversy, with some believing she was doing good deeds like "Order."

But others thought it was simply indiscriminate killing of innocents with excuses.

Regardless, eventually the Game Master and "Order" intervened and stopped the controversy.

"The Executioner" was honorably expelled from the forum as an individual player.

Afterwards, news about "The Executioner's" victims and her activities continued to emerge sporadically.

Then...

One day, "The Executioner" suddenly disappeared, and it seemed no one had seen her since.

Many players speculated that she might have died silently in some dungeon—this was quite common for Death Game players.

Even long-famous experts could suddenly die one day.

After all, the stronger one became, the greater the dungeon difficulty they typically encountered... this was common knowledge not fully verified but acknowledged by almost all players.

But no one expected...

That "The Executioner" hadn't actually died, but had instead become a member of the Psychological Society and was dating a member of the Free Alliance.

Fu Luo sighed again: "I knew it, there's no Assassin who isn't good at direct combat... So the Designer doesn't let her fight only because once she does, it's either death or serious injury."

Li Nian seemed to have known about Pan Yuqiang's skills all along. Watching the Delta Team Leader who, despite wearing high-tech equipment and even having a giant ship's support, still couldn't break free from the seemingly primitive hemp rope, she curled her lips.

"Mainly because her move is too conspicuous... Once recognized, it's quite troublesome. Brother Wang is cautious and doesn't want her taking risks."

Lin Yu also watched the Delta Team Leader who was starting to kick his legs and was about to be hanged, and quickly spoke up.

"Hey hey, Sister Pan, can you show some mercy?"

"Preferably keep him alive, I still have use for this guy."

As Lin Yu spoke, Pan Yuqiang glanced over: "Can keep him alive, but he's quite vigorous. Let him hang a bit longer."

"If we take him down now, he might still be able to resist."

As if afraid Lin Yu wouldn't believe her, Pan Yuqiang added another sentence.

"Trust me, I'm a professional."

Since Pan Yuqiang said so, Lin Yu naturally chose to believe her.

He nodded silently, then looked at Pan Yuqiang's gallows.

A few more minutes passed, and Pan Yuqiang observed that the Delta Team Leader had gradually stopped struggling much, and seemed to be foaming at the mouth under his mask, feeling it was about enough.

Then, Pan Yuqiang snapped her fingers.

"Snap!"

With a crisp sound, the large gallows vanished from the train roof.

The Delta Team Leader fell to the ground. Pan Yuqiang waved her hand, and Wang Yuyang walked over, picked up the unconscious man, and carrying Pan Yuqiang, jumped down from the roof.

Wang Yuyang threw the man in front of Lin Yu.

"What use do you have for him?"

He looked at Lin Yu and asked.

Lin Yu pointed at the giant ship still hovering above them.

Although it hadn't taken any action after the Delta Team Leader fell unconscious, according to Baron Coleman's words, due to the existence of the "Despair Furnace," this Throne of Wrath seemed unwilling to fully bombard the train carriages with firepower.

But it lingering here without leaving still created significant psychological pressure.

Baron Coleman, with Li Nian's help, had temporarily suppressed the berserk mechanical units during the great purge while Wang Yuyang was fighting the Delta Team Leader.

But precisely because of this, he seemed to have reached some limit—this wasn't hard to see from Baron Coleman's slightly bloodshot eyes.

If the Throne of Wrath deployed new robots or sentinels to attack, they'd probably have to confront them head-on.

Even if Wang Yuyang could deal with the Delta Team Leader, facing endless robots, he might not be able to protect everyone.

So...

"First, his primary use is to drive that thing away."

Lin Yu said, looking up at the giant ship in the sky.

"Hey, President Paris, are you watching... Let's make a deal."

"Your right-hand man is in our hands. We guarantee his safety, and you call off this thing, how about that?"

"Everyone takes a step back... You don't really want us dead that badly, right?"

"You wanting us dead isn't impossible, but can you guarantee killing all of us instantly before he dies—and with a plan that avoids blowing up this furnace as much as possible."

As Lin Yu spoke, the giant machine in the sky remained silent, just as it had when facing Baron Coleman's accusations earlier.

But...

Lin Yu wasn't Baron Coleman, and the current situation was different from before.

He waved his hand.

"Seems President Paris can't hear, or he doesn't care about this guy's life..."

"Then let's just kill him—please do the honors, Brother Wang."

Lin Yu said politely, and Wang Yuyang nodded.

"Small matter."

His exoskeleton mech had already dissipated, but Wang Yuyang casually reached out and condensed a long blade again.

Just as Wang Yuyang prepared to strike...

The giant ship in the sky trembled, and a sound came through.

"Stop, deal."

With these brief four words, Lin Yu laughed.

"Good, as expected of President Paris, reaching this position indeed shows some qualities of a formidable leader."

"Quite decisive in making decisions!"

Wang Yuyang also stopped his movement.

And the giant ship offered no additional opinions, no bargaining, and directly ascended into the sky.

Pan Yuqiang was very surprised.

"It was actually resolved like this? I thought it would take more effort."

Lin Yu shook his head.

"This is mainly thanks to the other party being Truth Corporation—they're a group that can read people's emotions... So negotiating with them easily reveals fear."

"But once you show no fear, controlling them becomes easy."

"That's why I 'borrowed' Brother Wang earlier... Because the killing intent on Brother Wang must appear very pure to them."

"In other words, if not for the emergency stop just now, Brother Wang would have really killed him directly—this created a deterrent."

Fu Luo looked at Wang Yuyang with deep respect.

"Bro, if you were born in the 'Three-Body' world, humanity wouldn't have to worry about lacking a Swordholder after Luo Ji."
