"So, back to the first question, what's your situation now? Are you cooperating with the Psychology Alchemists?"

Hearing this question again, Medici glanced at Lin Ruo, the corners of his mouth curving up in a wild smile.

"Cooperation is too strong a word; I'm merely using them."

"Tsk." Lin Ruo clicked his tongue, not surprised by Medici's answer. He had no intention of interfering with Medici's actions anyway. If the other party wanted to hang out with the Psychology Alchemists, so be it.

Anyway, even without the so-called plot inertia, judging from the Evernight Goddess's current arrangements, the Death Uniqueness would be eaten by Her sooner or later, and the Psychology Alchemists would be internally purged by the Evernight Goddess sooner or later, then reform. Besides, the Psychology Alchemists have been quite well-behaved in recent years, basically not causing as much trouble as the Aurora Order, except for supporting a local tyrant. Therefore, Lin Ruo doesn't plan to interfere in this matter.

As for who would suffer in the end from Medici using the Psychology Alchemists, Lin Ruo didn't really care—if Medici really couldn't even outsmart the people from the Psychology Alchemists, he might as well find a piece of tofu and bash his head against it.

Being cooked in a hot pot back then, considering that the ones who tricked him were Adam and Amon, those two bugs, being tricked was somewhat excusable. But if he still screws up dealing with the Psychology Alchemists now, Medici would be unworthy of being a top figure in the Hunter pathway.

Speaking of which… Lin Ruo suddenly thought of something, looked at Medici, his lips curving into a smile, and said, "I thought you would look for the people from the Aurora Order first, or pray to the True Creator."

Medici's smile paused, then his expression returned to normal as he said, "I would like to pray to the Lord, but unfortunately, there are two dragging-me-down bastards."

"Then do you want me to help?" Lin Ruo blinked, his expression quite sincere, "Although I won't pray to the True Creator, I can help you contact the Aurora Order."

Medici paused again. He looked at Lin Ruo's sincere expression and suddenly sneered, saying, "Little Black, that expression is too disgusting."

"Is that so? I thought it should be quite touching." Lin Ruo, being told that, remained unfazed, only glanced at Medici, and said, "So, you really don't want to see the True Creator right now!"

"Why?" He put on a show of thinking, saying, "Because you're doing too poorly, because you died too disgracefully, and you feel too ashamed to go back?"

Medici didn't answer, only took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a puff.

Lin Ruo wasn't surprised by this. He had already guessed this outcome.

Medici is a proud person. As the former Angel of War, as the former sword of the Ancient Sun God, he has now fallen into an evil spirit, even though he possesses a Sequence 2 characteristic, he can't even control his own emotions well, and his very existence must rely on Beyonders of the Death pathway.

Even looking at all the Kings of Angels under the Ancient Sun God back then, even including him, the Angel of Judgment, Medici was the most miserable one—the Three Gods go without saying, Ouroboros is still the same as ever, Adam goes without saying, Amon is almost done eating his own pathway, and the Dark Angel, in Medici's eyes, has always been the master, while he, although re-walking the pathway for unknown reasons, is still ultimately human and doesn't need to rely on others to exist.

In this situation, with Medici's pride, is he really willing to seek the True Creator's protection like a defeated dog, in a disheveled state?

This point is the same in the original work—in the original work, not to mention the early stages, just talking about the later stages, after cooperating with Amon, couldn't Medici really pray to the True Creator?

Lin Ruo didn't think he couldn't, but he still didn't do so, not planning to live safely and wretchedly under the Lord's protection, but wanting to do something big, even planning to risk swallowing the Primordial Demoness.

Without a doubt, for Medici, being a defeated dog, sneaking off to seek the protection of others, is worse than killing him.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruo suddenly sighed. Although he had just instinctively chosen to be sarcastic, he now had no interest in continuing to expose Medici's wounds, and instead said:

"The Loen Royal Family has some major actions recently; you can pay attention to them. They may have a Conqueror characteristic in their hands."

In the original work, the reason why the Demoness Sect cooperated with the Loen Royal Family, with George III, was because they had a Conqueror characteristic in their hands—the Primordial Demoness also yearned to become a Great Old One, craving the Sequence 1 characteristic of the Hunter pathway.

The reason why Lin Ruo used 'perhaps' is because this is, after all, the content of the original plot, and he is not sure if it is still the same now.

Medici was taken aback. He looked at Lin Ruo, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Little Black, have you forgotten that you are now also on the Hunter pathway?"

The implication being, being on the same Hunter pathway, is it really okay to reveal a clue about the Conqueror characteristic to him like this?

"Didn't you also give me all the subsequent potion formulas for the Hunter pathway?" Lin Ruo glanced at him, then thought of something, and sighed, "Besides, it's hard to say whether I'll even compete for the Sequence 0 position."

Will he compete for the Sequence 0 position of the Hunter pathway?

Who knows!

If his advancement to Red Priest also requires launching a war that sweeps across the entire continent, Lin Ruo is sure that he will not compete for that position.

He would rather be a free and unfettered Sequence 3, not too severely affected by divinity, and with [Fallacy of Truth] and the support of a group of big shots, including the Lord of the Mysteries, Lin Ruo is confident that he will not live poorly.

Moreover… perhaps it is because of his experience of drinking potions like water all along, or perhaps he did something before he lost his memory, or perhaps [Fallacy of Truth] is too easy to use, Lin Ruo's sense of being a Hunter pathway Beyonder has never been very strong.

He has never had a strong desire for advancement. If it weren't for his own memories, Lin Ruo would not be so actively digesting potions and seeking advancement as he is now.

What's more… his advancement process is indeed still too strange, so strange that it even makes Lin Ruo occasionally have a inexplicable feeling, that is, he has not truly accommodated those characteristics in a real sense, but is simply using them.

Shaking his head, suppressing the inexplicable thoughts that popped up again, Lin Ruo looked at Medici again, only to see the other party sneer.

"Stupid!"

After evaluating Lin Ruo's behavior with one word, Medici seemed to have thought of something, his eyes becoming much more complicated, but his words were still unforgiving, "Little Black, so many years have passed, and you are still so stupid."

Lin Ruo: … …

"The incredibly smart you were also stewed in a hot pot. No matter how stupid I am, I'm still living well." Lin Ruo unceremoniously retorted sarcastically.

"Besides, I don't get along well with the Loen Royal Family. If you clash with them because of that Conqueror characteristic, I would be very happy."
