The first time entering the Great Wasteland, Lin Yu didn't have any special feelings about it.

Perhaps it was because he was sitting in the specially selected vehicle chosen by Baron Coleman and many nobles of Sleepless City, with both safety and comfort levels maxed out.

After saying farewell and leaving that Pang Kedo outside the town, the special vehicle turned back and returned to Sleepless City, continuing toward Fu Luo's address.

During the return journey, Lin Yu didn't stay idle either.

He walked up to Fu Luo, who was lying on the recliner with his hat covering his face pretending to be dead, and spoke with a smile.

"Alright, friend... you should satisfy my curiosity now."

"In your 'Promotion Trial' mission, what was the third 'wrongful case' you needed to find?"

Faced with Lin Yu's questioning, Fu Luo couldn't keep pretending to be dead.

He removed the hat from his face, his eyebrows drooping as he grinned.

"It's nothing much, just... that Pang Kedo we just dropped off had another wrongful case attached to him."

"It's the same one his good brother Coleman is carrying - Coleman was falsely accused of being the murderer who killed Investigator Reed, right?"

"And Coleman himself thinks that the one who actually killed Reed was Pang Kedo... which is also a huge injustice for Pang Kedo."

"Because it definitely wasn't him who committed the murder."

As Fu Luo spoke, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because that guy doesn't use knives - although he carries one, it's not his preferred weapon - the standard weapons trained by the Security Department's field teams under normal circumstances, even when killing, they're not accustomed to using daggers."

"What the Security Department field teams usually deal with are out-of-control machinery and combat personnel from other companies and organizations, even mercenaries. When dealing with these 'Sleepless City' types, the killing efficiency of sharp weapons like daggers is too low... combat suits and various shields give them high protection against sharp weapons."

"Even when dealing with unarmed researchers, on such important missions, he would definitely choose to use his most familiar weapon - while daggers are more effective against people from the Great Wasteland."

"In other words, only Truth Corporation members who frequently deal with the madmen of the Great Wasteland are skilled with daggers."

Fu Luo explained everything in detail.

Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo with an approving expression.

"Furbollo, you really have some skills. May wasn't wrong to praise you."

Fu Luo caught his breath: "Whew... Aren't you going to ask why Pang Kedo has the same face as the murderer in the 'notes'?"

"The scene was constructed based on Baron Coleman's memories. He had preconceived notions that Pang Kedo did it, so the memory restoration would naturally reflect that."

Lin Yu said calmly.

Fu Luo nodded: "Exactly, that's what I think too - seems you're not bad either."

"Brother May actually mentioned you to me too... At first I didn't connect the dots, but now it seems, when he talked about his beautiful, kind-hearted, clever, witty, and decisive female friend, it must be you!"

Fu Luo said with careful flattery.

Although his attitude was cautious, Lin Yu knew exactly how bold this guy really was.

This was outright fabrication.

When had he ever mentioned these things to Fu Luo using May's identity?

Not just Fu Luo... he hadn't said such things to anyone using any identity!

He wasn't shameless enough to praise himself so directly!

So, he spoke with a strange expression: "Is that so? I don't think he would say that."

Fu Luo examined the strange pursed-lip expression on Lin Yu's face, seemingly misunderstanding something, then gave an ingratiating smile.

"You know Brother May's personality - sometimes he seems quite cold, so how could he say such things to your face?"

"But your strength and beauty are objective facts. He couldn't completely ignore them, nor could he resist praising you - so he could only express his admiration behind your back."

"But please don't tell him, otherwise he definitely won't admit it and will easily guess it was me who said it."

Lin Yu was completely exasperated.

"What kind of nonsense is this!"

At that moment, Li Nian popped her head out from behind the nearby recliner: "Wow, you're that familiar with that guy who's joining 'Order'?"

"I thought Brother Wang dating someone from the 'Psychological Society' was shocking enough... You're not planning something even bigger, are you?"

Wang Yuyang walked over, stroking his chin: "The 'Psychological Society' doesn't prohibit this, but does 'Order' allow its members to date people from the 'Free Alliance'?"

Pan Yuqiang said regretfully: "They definitely don't allow it..."

Chen Zhuo gave a thumbs up: "Damn, forbidden taboo love... so shippable! It's like a real-life version of Romeo and Juliet!"

Lin Yu looked at this group of people who had inexplicably gathered around for some reason, opening his mouth but no words coming out.

Although he had been meticulously planning and scripting schemes since joining the 'Death Game', dealing with various unexpected situations by adapting and using opponents' strength against them.

Although Lin Yu didn't consider himself a genius who could anticipate everything, now with the 'Fraudster' profession as his foundation, supplemented by various [items], he had gradually shrouded himself in mist, maximizing his safety and creating an environment conducive to his growth.

But this current situation truly exceeded Lin Yu's expectations.

He couldn't help but sigh that human effort and calculations indeed have their limits.

After living for twenty years, in the end, he found himself being the subject of fabricated gossip and rumors about himself.

Finally, he could only let out a long sigh.

"It's not at all what you're thinking!"

But by now, prejudice had solidified like a mountain.

Fortunately, before these people could continue adding embellishments, the special vehicle arrived at Fu Luo's destination.

The aircraft slowly hovered and landed in a classical courtyard on a semi-slope high point in Sleepless City, where there was actually a dedicated landing pad for aircraft.

And after the aircraft landed and stabilized...

The dungeon "ended."

But just before the official end, before the familiar dizziness arrived...

Through the window, seeing this absolutely high-end residence, everyone looked at Fu Luo with a question.

"Where exactly is this address you entered?"

Especially Lin Yu.

So this Fu Luo guy isn't simple either?

But before he could prepare the appropriate wording for "Zhu Ming" to ask the question... the feeling of weightlessness struck.

Opening his eyes again, Lin Yu had already arrived in the [Settlement Space]!

[Congratulations on passing the game "Express Train of Despair"!]

[Calculating your rewards for this game!]

[You have obtained the basic reward: 7 days of survival time.]

This time, he didn't even have time to look at his additional rewards, first directly looking at Fu Luo in the [Settlement Space].

And before Lin Yu could speak, Li Nian's voice rang out first.

"You damn detective! You have such powerful connections in Sleepless City and Truth Corporation, why haven't you been using them earlier?!"
