"'Jiang'an Hall'?"
Hearing this name, Seagull stroked his chin: "It sounds vaguely familiar..."
"It's 'Tycoon's' organization."
Snowy Owl's memory was clearly better than Seagull's, reminding him.
Subsequently, Seagull was in awe: "Oh, oh, so you're a member of 'Tycoon' brother's organization, my respects!"
Lin Yu was a little surprised to see Seagull's respectful appearance: "Do you know our boss?"
"Of course... not," Seagull said with a smile, "but 'Tycoon' brother is one of the important sponsors of our 'Night Watchmen', he has helped our organization a lot!"
Snowy Owl nodded: "Jiang City's 'Tycoon' is indeed a famous figure. Since you are from 'Jiang'an Hall', it also means you should be trustworthy."
"My two teammates are 'Seagull' from the same organization as me, and 'High Mountain' from 'Order'."
"Seagull, High Mountain... I've heard so much about you, just call me 'Old Yao'."
Lin Yu cupped his hands and said, while the silent High Mountain suddenly spoke.
"This Old Yao, are you three also in a team?"
"No, he and I are in a team," Lin Yu glanced at High Mountain and immediately said, "This is 'Flying Knife', he hired me to take him through the instance."
Flying Knife was about to say something when Lin Yu spoke again: "As for the other one... she is 'A'Lian', we only met her after entering the instance."
Even if Flying Knife was dull, he would have reacted after hearing Lin Yu say this, and immediately shut up obediently.
High Mountain gave Li Nian a cold look and said, "'A'Lian'?... She's not A'Lian."
"I've seen this guy, she's 'Thief' from the 'Freedom League'!"
Hearing High Mountain's words, Seagull and Snowy Owl looked at Li Nian together, and then immediately put away the weapons in their hands.
This reaction almost made Lin Yu laugh out loud.
Whether it was the Little Fire Dragon trio from the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' or the two 'Night Watchmen' plus one 'Order' here, the first reaction of any character with a bit of status when they saw Li Nian was to put away their [Items].
However, this time Li Nian was not so powerful that she could directly steal from these three people head-on.
The strength of Snowy Owl, Seagull, and High Mountain was still far greater than that of Little Fire Dragon, Squirtle, and Deadshot.
Of course...
Since Lin Yu had observed this reaction, he wouldn't just complain about it.
He looked at Li Nian in surprise, immediately put away the torch in his hand, and said in surprise, pretending not to know her: "You're actually 'Thief'?! You lied to me?"
Of course, Li Nian also understood that Lin Yu probably saw that someone in the trio recognized her, so he cut ties with her in advance.
Just...
"The acting is too good, Sister Zhu Ming..."
Li Nian thought to herself, but cooperated with Li Nian verbally.
"Oh dear, I've been discovered, there's no way around it," Li Nian brushed her hair and said helplessly, "I didn't expect... the world is so small, I actually met 'Order's' High Mountain here."
"That's right, I am 'Thief' - but don't be so nervous, this [Instance] is already like this," Li Nian pointed to the surrounding spiders and spider silk, "In this situation... do you still want to 'pacify internally' before 'resisting foreign aggression'?... Please, I'm not 'Diviner' or 'Fontaine'!"
"What's more, I think I've shown sincerity, Sister Yao, at least I've protected you and Flying Knife all the way!"
Li Nian said, Lin Yu's face softened.
"Well, not bad, what you said makes sense, now is really not a good time for infighting," Lin Yu helped Li Nian speak as if from an opposing position, "The three of you, she really didn't steal anything from me and Flying Knife along the way, and we are very grateful to her for avoiding these spider attacks."
"Although she comes from the 'Freedom League', maybe we should really make cooperating to clear the [Instance] the top priority."
Lin Yu said, High Mountain, a member of 'Order', thought for a moment and nodded.
After all, although the 'Freedom League's' 'Thief' is notorious, it is precisely because her notoriety is too well-known that everyone has heard of her deeds - and coincidentally, Li Nian's misdeeds have never been very prominent.
High Mountain was a policeman, and he himself was a very standard 'Order' member who hated evil and believed in "Order Above All", but precisely because of this, he was able to draw conclusions based on the relevant regulations of 'Order'...
"When our 'Order' members encounter wanted players in the [Instance], it is not necessarily necessary to fight to the death depending on the situation, and what's more, although you often disrupt order and damage the interests of other players, you really don't have any behavior that is too harmful to the player group and the present society."
And even 'Order' has said so, Snowy Owl and Seagull naturally have no objection.
"Don't steal my things, and don't steal mine even if the crisis is over," Snowy Owl said vigilantly, "Otherwise, I will really hunt you down to the ends of the earth."
"Oh dear, you still don't understand me. Anyone who has seen me knows that my biggest characteristic is bullying the weak and fearing the strong," Li Nian said bluntly, "How dare I steal from the 'Order', 'Night Watchmen's' masters - especially you few, either you are very strong 'Second Order', or... simply 'Third Order'!"
"I'm 'Thief', not a fool!"
Snowy Owl snorted and didn't answer.
However, Seagull on the side questioned Li Nian's statement: "That's not right... if I'm not mistaken, the singing statue in your hand should be my good brother 'Kress' thing, isn't this [Siren's Protection]?"
"Kress is also 'Third Order', but you still managed to steal it."
Seagull said, Li Nian said unhappily.
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about, just because I'm 'Thief', does that mean all the [Items] in my hand are stolen?"
"Your friend's [Items] are not your [Items], how do you know I stole it from him, isn't this suspecting the neighbor of stealing an axe?"
"There are many [Items] that are the same and similar, don't you know as an old player? Besides, did your friend tell you he was stolen from?"
"What's more. This is not [Siren's Protection] at all, this is [Mermaid Elegy] that I bought myself... don't slander me out of thin air."
Li Nian said plausibly, with a full of momentum in a series of questions.
Seagull was shocked and said a little embarrassedly.
"Sorry, I might have seen it wrong..."
