Deep underground, the rustling sound of the electric current, combined with the distant noise coming from the pipes behind him, made Lin Yu feel for a moment as if he had arrived in another world.

The "style" of the "Fairy Queen" in front of me is indeed incompatible with this world.

The whole city is quite sci-fi, why does it suddenly become weird here?

But no matter what...

Lin Yu now has to face the other party directly - literally, face to face with the other party, just separated by a table.

The corpse of the girl in front of him was wearing a beautiful dress and even looked like she had just died not long ago.

The speaker in her arms rang again.

"Nice to meet you, Forboluo... Do you know why I invited you here?"

A fuzzy and distorted sound rang out, surrounding the underground passage.

Lin Yu thought for a moment and then said, "Is it because I made too much noise on Gray Third Street?"

"Of course not," the Fairy Queen said immediately, "Although you did create an interesting chaos, that alone... is not enough for me to invite you here."

Lin Yu asked again: "So, is it because of the rumor that I killed three middlemen?"

The Fairy Queen's voice rang out, and it seemed to contain a hint of laughter: "Rumors... Forboluo, your choice of words is quite interesting."

"Are you still trying to mislead me? It's obvious that you killed him, right?"

As the Fairy Queen spoke, Lin Yu felt a chill.

This guy is indeed not simple.

"How did you determine that I was the one who killed him?"

He asked, keeping his composure.

"Of course I see it... I can see death—the 'fruit' of their death is entangled in you."

The Fairy Queen murmured words that were as poetic and "dialogue-like" as her name.

Lin Yu was not scared.

He thought for a moment, still not admitting it, but changed his words to something that seemed to indicate his agreement.

"If I killed him... is that why you called me here?"

Lin Yu asked again, and the Fairy Queen answered again.

"Of course it's not such a trivial matter. We're just three middlemen. It's not enough for me to go all the way to see you..."

"In the final analysis, killing and being killed is a very common occurrence in the City That Never Sleeps. Whether it's the outer city or the inner city, the only difference is the means."

"They're just a few middlemen. If they die, they die. What's the big deal?"

Hearing what the Fairy Queen said, Lin Yu straightened up.

"Why that is, I don't know."

When the Fairy Queen heard Lin Yu's words, a noisy, harsh electric sound came from the speaker.

After the electric sound stopped, the Fairy Queen gave the answer.

“You’re investigating something very sensitive.

"Commission C-77—that's why I'm interested in you."

When Lin Yu heard the Fairy Queen's words, his thoughts were confirmed again.

Sure enough, the queen in front of him was no simple character.

This also indirectly confirms that...

Commission C-77 is indeed not an easy task.

Lin Yu spoke slowly: "It's true that I'm investigating, but...what's so sensitive about this matter?"

"Isn't it just an ordinary assassination mission? You just said, 'Killing and being killed is common in the City That Never Sleeps,'" Lin Yu said calmly. "Does this commission have any special meaning to you?"

"Or... is it that the potential deaths caused by Commission C-77 are far more important to you than the deaths of the three intermediaries?"

Lin Yu asked sharply, and the Fairy Queen laughed.

"Ha, ha... What a difficult question to answer. No matter what I answer, it seems that it will reveal my position and destroy my mystery."

"Forboluo, since you can ask, I will answer you - my answer is, yes."

"The potential deaths caused by the C-77 commission are of a completely different significance than the deaths of the three middlemen."

As the Fairy Queen spoke, Lin Yu continued to ask, "Is it because the target of C-77 is the nobles?"

"No, nobles, commoners... these 'artificial divisions' of citizenship and noble titles are unimportant," the Fairy Queen said leisurely. "But the target that C-77 is about to assassinate, Art Mercury, is on a different level of life than others."

"He was chosen by God, and he is still chosen by God - so he is indeed more important."

When Lin Yu heard the words of the Fairy Queen, he gently crossed his hands.

"'God's Chosen'... In your opinion, this is information that can be easily revealed. Why are you telling me this?"

The laughter accompanied by the crackling sound of electricity came from the speaker again.

"Haven't you already met the head of the Buyetian family? It's impossible that she didn't even tell you this, and it's even more impossible that you didn't even try to understand the situation from her."

Lin Yu was very surprised.

"You know all this?"

"It just so happens. After all, you didn't specifically hide anything, so this matter is relatively easy to find out," said the Fairy Queen. "Royals and nobles have many servants in their homes. Just because they wear masks doesn't mean they are robots that will keep secrets."

"No matter how much you try to erase their ego and selfishness, these things will still exist."

The Fairy Queen spoke calmly, and Lin Yu nodded slowly.

The other party seemed to be very familiar with the situation within the royal nobility.

Moreover, she could actually predict the content of her conversation with the head of the Buye Tian family.

"So...what's your stance on this? Are you trying to stop me and persuade me to stop investigating this?"

Lin Yu asked with pretended curiosity.

He still used some "talking skills" - although he admitted that he was investigating Commission C-77, Lin Yu did not admit that he would complete this commission.

Lin Yu needs to understand the Fairy Queen's attitude in order to decide his own attitude.

Although it was impossible for him to give up the assassination of Art Mercury, they were now in the territory of the Fairy Queen after all.

If the other party obviously also wants to stop this commission... Lin Yu can lie to her first.

The Fairy Queen said softly, "On the contrary, it's a good thing that you're interested in this commission and are looking at me."

"What good thing?"

"Because I also want Art Mercury to die," the Fairy Queen said bluntly, "and you... your attitude is not to stop this, right?"

"Of course," Lin Yu admitted frankly, "In a sense, I even participated in this commission."

"Then I can offer you some help," the Fairy Queen whispered again, "After all, if our interests align, we can be considered friends, right?"

Facing the other party's kindness, Lin Yu shook his head and declined.

"You're wrong. Having the same interests can only make us 'partners.' The definition of 'friend,' though vague, is probably not that simple."

"Besides, I think the most important thing as a 'friend' is honesty and trust!"
