Chapter 242 Negotiation and Deterrence
After hearing Pangduo's speech, Lin Yu felt a little headache.
He knew things would turn out like this!
It would be fine to bring up Ville Valetti in front of Li Nian and Chen Zhuo...
Now, he has to show the people in the Psychology Society that he has a close relationship with the Truth Company.
This is not what Lin Yu wants to see.
But since it has happened, Lin Yu can only accept it.
He looked at Wang Yuyang with an indifferent expression.
"I can guarantee him for now—and Anian and I have already subdued him once before."
"If Punkto gets into trouble again, I will be responsible for dealing with him."
Lin Yu said calmly.
Seeing Lin Yu’s firm attitude, Wang Yuyang had no choice but to give up.
He simply lowered his voice and said something in a voice that Lin Yu could hear, as if giving advice: "Don't trust the NPCs in the dungeon too much. The Truth Company is not a serious company."
"This man was a former employee of the Truth Company, fell into madness, and was thrown here. This means he is involved in a lot of things."
"You are still 'First Order'. You don't need to be too deeply bound to a specific faction within the dungeon."
Lin Yu knew that Wang Yuyang meant well and nodded.
"I understand."
After this little episode, the six people finally set off despite Wang Yuyang's slightly cautious attitude.
After all, although there are hidden risks in bringing Punkto with him, it is also like having an extra helper.
What's more, Punkto's identity on this train also has other uses.
They entered carriage No. 3 and then opened the door to carriage No. 9.
After walking out of the door, the room was filled with noisy sounds and a fermented stench.
This carriage is clearly a futuristic type, but at this moment Lin Yu seems to be in a green train.
Compared to carriage No. 3, which only had a few boxes piled up and a few mats on the floor, carriage No. 9 showed more obvious signs of modification.
The carriage was divided into two halves by a long curtain. The seats were put on frames and converted into beds, and various worn-out buckets were used to store water and other items.
It seems that these people have lived in this carriage for quite a long time.
Seven or eight sloppy men with messy hair and who looked like homeless people occupied one side; more than ten young teenagers occupied the other side.
Seeing Lin Yu and his group walking out of Gate No. 3, the tallest of the young men stood up first vigilantly and held up the iron rod with polished ends in his hand.
"Car No. 3? Someone from the Airport Gang?"
"Why did you come here uninvited? This is our Blue Blood Team's territory!"
In carriage No. 9, there is even a barbed wire fence on the corridor between the door and the carriage!
Lin Yu walked forward across the barbed wire.
"We're new to the Airport Gang and want to understand the ecology of the Despair Train, so the boss said we can come and see for ourselves."
The tall young man holding the iron rod was a little suspicious after hearing this: "When did the boss of the Airport Gang become so unrestrained with his subordinates?"
He turned his head and looked at the homeless-looking men.
"Hey, Ironthorn, what's going on?"
The homeless people who were sitting around playing cards turned around and said nonchalantly, "Oh, their boss is a gangster from the beginning...it's normal for him to be loose and strict in his team management."
"That guy didn't have much brains anyway!"
Through this simple interaction, Lin Yu made a judgment in his mind.
The two organizations entrenched in carriage No. 9 should have some kind of subtle symbiotic relationship.
The blue bloods were stronger and more dominant.
But these Iron Thorns had probably been on this train of despair for a long time, so the Blue Blood Team didn't kill them, but instead kept them as their consultants and encyclopedias.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu already had an idea of how to negotiate next.
"Everyone at Iron Thorn, although I've just joined, it seems inappropriate to slander our boss like this, right?"
He bypassed the young man from the Blue Blood Team and spoke directly to the Iron Thorn people in a provocative tone.
Although Zhu Ming's voice was soft, Lin Yu's tone was very fierce at this moment.
The tall boy from the Blue Bloods frowned and knocked on the floor with his iron rod.
"Hey, new guy, didn't your boss tell you not to act wild here before he asked you to come?"
All of a sudden, the members of the Blue Blood Team who were originally resting lazily stood up one after another, all looking at Lin Yu with unfriendly expressions.
Lin Yu stood there without changing his expression.
Looking at Lin Yu's calm appearance, a sloppy uncle in the Iron Thorns realized something.
"Tang, don't get excited yet. This guy is deliberately trying to provoke you."
He looked at Lin Yu, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes under his dirty eyelids.
"Although this train is full of stupid people and stupid things... you don't seem to be a fool."
"What is your purpose in coming here?"
Lin Yu did not seem surprised when asked so cautiously by the other party.
He pried at the gaps between the wire mesh with his hands and spoke softly.
"You guessed it right. I came here to ask you about someone."
"'baron'."
As Lin Yu spoke, the members of the Blue Blood Team became agitated again.
"You want to see His Excellency the Baron?"
"The people from the Airport Gang want to find the Baron. Why are they looking for us instead of your own boss?"
"What on earth do you mean!"
The sloppy uncle at Iron Thorn smiled and said, "This guy isn't some newcomer to the Airport Gang. She must have just gotten on the bus... but just being on the bus for a while is enough."
"How are the people from the Airport Gang?"
Lin Yu was not surprised at all that his lie was exposed - rather, it would be strange if such a crude plan of impersonating the Airport Gang could actually succeed!
Even if the Truth Company released a group of pigs on the Despair Train, if it could survive the repeated purges and infighting, there should be a few wild boar spirits.
But why did he still choose to propose this plan, and why did Li Nian and Wang Yuyang also express their agreement?
because……
When the lie is exposed, the truth that is revealed will make the "negotiation" smoother.
Lin Yu looked at the slovenly homeless man and grinned: "I was discovered by you guys... Oh, those guys were not very cooperative, so they were dealt with."
"I hope you can cooperate a little - I have no interest in you. I just want to find the 'Baron' now."
Lin Yu spoke calmly, his tone full of threats.
This is more effective than just telling them directly that "we killed the entire Airport Gang".
"Fuck, are you threatening us?"
"Do you think we're the same bunch of losers as the Airport Gang? Before they were thrown here, they were just a bunch of scum and trash, low-level thugs who only knew how to steal and intimidate civilians. They were thrown here just because they offended someone!"
"We're not those idiots! We're from the Great Wilderness, and we seriously robbed the Truth Company's convoy!"
Sure enough, the leader of the Blue Blood Team looked a little unhappy and pretended to be fierce and cursed a few times.
But judging by the actions of him and his younger brother...
They were still frightened.
All it takes is a "reason" to convince them, or a "reason" that allows them to convince themselves, which can become a "stepping stone" for them to take a step back, and I'm afraid they will give in.
And the reason is not difficult to find.
Lin Yu looked behind him. The other five people were still hiding in the shadows, and only vague outlines could be seen from the outside.
"Put on your hood and walk around."
He spoke to Punkto, who nodded.
Then, the well-known "madman" on the truth train revealed his identity.
The iconic uniform and the spray paint on the chest made the entire carriage fall silent in an instant.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Everyone, I really have something serious to discuss with the Baron."
"How about you all give me some convenience?"
