Chapter 84 Bai Ye: I just think... it’s unnecessary.

"Long time no see."

Compared to the attitude of the members of the [Wings of Victory] team around him who were so excited that they were eager to rush over to avenge their guide Faust and uphold justice, Faust could even be described as gentle. He put on a faint smile, without any faults in etiquette. He just nodded politely to Bai Ye and even took a few steps forward and extended his hand to Bai Ye.

"You seem to be doing well? Those kids from the Squid Detective Agency are great collaborators with the Sun Enforcement Agency. Maybe you can learn a lot from them."

Faust spoke sincerely, as if he spoke entirely for Bai Ye's own good. If he had not experienced it personally, Bai Ye would almost have felt the same as those people behind Faust, feeling that Mr. Faust was truly a man of noble character. Faced with a juvenile delinquent who almost killed him through such a cruel means as assassination, he could still put himself in the other person's shoes and think about the other person.

"Bai Ye-san."

Faust's eyes, which hung under his slightly long hair, were very plain, like green gems shrouded in mist, but the green was not pure, but a special color that seemed to be acquired later and spread across the pupils. In his eyes, Bai Ye could not even see any guilt or hesitation, as if the Wheatfield Town incident was just Bai Ye's illusion.

Why is the mastermind who deliberately tricked students into being sacrifices to open the safe door of the devil's game pretending to be a good person?

Bai Ye resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Although he had long made up his mind that sooner or later he would reveal this guy's true face, there were too many law enforcers behind Faust, and there was no need to engage in a fierce conflict with him here.

Bai Ye forced himself to put on a businesslike smile and extended his hand to Faust.

"That's true, thank you."

Bai Ye gritted his teeth and uttered these words, then he shook Faust's hand tightly and shook it up and down twice, then turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the other person's hand on his shoulder.

"Why is this guy like this? Mr. Faust has already spoken first?! What else does he want?!"

The law enforcers behind Faust naturally did not miss the obvious confrontation and complex emotions between the two men. Every sentence seemed to have a hidden meaning, but no one would choose to stand on the side of the criminal under such circumstances.

"Bai Ye, you look troubled. Is it because the injury you suffered in Huangquan Town has not healed yet, or... are you worried about something else that is closely related to you?"

Faust's voice was very soft and close. Although he was clearly some distance away from Bai Ye, his voice seemed to be right next to Bai Ye's ear, like the hissing of a snake.

Bai Ye wanted to shake off the other person's hand on his shoulder, but that hand was not as delicate and weak as it looked. Instead, it was like a piece of cold ice, firmly restricting his movements and making his entire shoulder almost numb.

Cold... the imperceptible cold began to spread rapidly from Faust's five fingers. Bai Ye realized belatedly that the soul tag ability of the culprit in front of him, whom he had ignored because of his thinking about the DM system and t173, seemed to be of the ice type.

As the successor to the leader position vacated by [Cube], the default leader of the Sun Enforcement Bureau, he has the same ice element as Cube, one of the four previous leaders who had already left.

"Mr. Faust...please let go."

Bai Ye barely raised his arm which had been almost numb from the cold, but he calmed down the moment the other party raised the question. The other party's words were obviously meaningful. Bai Ye was not sure whether the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau was capable of knowing the current hostile relationship between the T173 system and the DM system, and whether they were connected to himself, but he knew that at least Faust now also had something to ask for.

He wanted to know something from me, or confirm something... In that case, he would take the initiative of what happened next without any hesitation.

Bai Ye did not forget that when he was in Wheat Field Town, Faust, who rushed to the school to catch people, seemed to be looking for something. If Faust was really looking for something very important but was interrupted by himself, then he would definitely have strong negative emotions towards himself, and would be more likely to reveal his flaws because of anxiety.

Before Faust's true purpose was exposed, there was no need for him to expose the truth and give this hypocrite a chance to continue his performance.

After all... he has not yet found the forces represented by Faust, and their position in the war between the DM system and the t173 system, and between humans and demons.

Bai Ye's eyes swept across the street corner not far away. The corners of his mouth slightly raised slightly, but soon his brows frowned and his expression became disgusted and at a loss.

"I don't know what you are trying to find out, but no matter what, the current Sun Law Enforcement Bureau should be very confident in me."

Bai Ye said something sarcastic to Faust, causing the other party to raise his eyebrows with interest: "Do you really have to show off your eloquence? Then it is normal for me to suspect that you, a former criminal, have something to do with the affairs of Ink City. After all, who knows if you have secretly contacted the demon apostles and are preparing to cooperate with them in Ink City——"

"Excuse me, excuse me, please let me move aside for a moment, thank you——!"

Before Faust finished speaking, a lively and cheerful voice came from behind the law enforcers who were huddled together. Bai Ye and Faust looked in the direction where the voice came from. The next second, they saw You Yu who was struggling to squeeze through the crowd of bewildered law enforcers.

The young detective walked briskly and with exaggerated movements. He took the power from the shoulders of several law enforcers, jumped up with a backflip, and landed steadily in front of Faust and Bai Ye, holding down his beret.

"Youyu! Don't run so fast!"

The voices of Lily of the Valley and Mizuiro about to kill someone came from far away. The expressions of the law enforcers became even more dazed. It was the first time they saw...such a lively and energetic group of gamers.

"I have no choice. If I don't come now, Mr. Faust will say that Huangquan Town was just an accident caused by the concession of the devil's apostle. My achievements will be immediately devalued and worthless. Of course I have to come here quickly to save my reputation."

You Yu was still smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He took a few steps forward, glanced at Faust's hand on Bai Ye's shoulder, frowned, as if it was some garbage, and directly pulled Bai Ye away.

"Why do you have to use your hands and feet when you can just talk? You don't seem to be as virtuous as the rumors say!"

You Yu took a step forward unnoticed, changed direction, and blocked Bai Ye behind him, in the completely opposite direction of Faust and the law enforcers behind him.

“How dare you talk like that?! Who are you to speak rudely to the creator of the Wings of the Goddess of Victory?!”

"He seems to be the one who works very closely with the Sun Enforcement Bureau headquarters - the president of the Squid Detective Agency who has recently become popular for solving the Yellow Springs Town incident."

"President? He's just an extra-staff detective. What's so great about him? Huangquan Town was ultimately completed by the Yamagumi and the Metropolitan Police Department. What does it have to do with neutral player organizations like them? I don't know why Big Sister Red Heart has always liked dealing with this detective agency so much..."

"He is still protecting the people who are staying to check on him. Could that guy named Bai Ye have a psychic skill? It shouldn't be possible. He can still use the tag ability with the restriction ring?"

The law enforcers behind Faust were instantly in an uproar, and countless questions turned from words into sharp swords and stabbed at Youyu and the other two. Bai Ye hesitated for a moment, pulled the corner of Youyu's clothes who was standing in front of him, but before he could even shake his head, Youyu glared back at him.

"Why didn't you call us earlier? We are on the other side of the street. We saw everything Faust did just now."

Shuise's voice sounded at the right time, and he and Linglan finally squeezed out from the crowd of law enforcers. They stood on Youyu's left and right, blocking Bai Ye's figure completely.

"If we don't see it, are you going to pretend that we didn't meet this guy today?"

Lily of the Valley raised her eyebrows, and her fingers swept across Bai Ye's shoulders. The coldness that Faust had just placed on Bai Ye's shoulders disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed. Even Bai Ye's forehead, which was aching slightly due to overdrawing the tag ability, felt a lot more comfortable - the light green fluorescence fell into Bai Ye's body without a trace, which was the vitality accumulated by Lily of the Valley.

"I...I just don't think it's necessary."

Bai Ye shook his head, Faust's expression became more and more ambiguous, and the law enforcers behind him became completely agitated by the situation. At first, the topic was still focused on him, but soon, the Squid Detective Agency, as a neutral player organization, could not help but share the hostility because of "Bai Ye".

It is obvious that the Squid Detective Agency is the most trustworthy neutral player organization that always stands on the side of law enforcement.

"no need."

Bai Ye repeated it again.

There is no need to confront Faust, a student of Queen, because he is the successor to the next leader of the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau, and even suspected of having one of the three chairmen of the Sun Law Enforcement Bureau behind him and the current leader of the law enforcers.

You Yu glared at Bai Ye even more fiercely.

Linglan patted Baiye's shoulder, and this time her advice came from the heart: "You'd better not talk for now."

"...It seems that the Squid Detective Agency is more united than I thought. If I remember correctly, you have known each other for less than a month, right?"

Faust looked at the four people who were facing the outside world in unison, his eyes lowered with a dark look in them. Clearly there was only one person there just now, and now there are only four people, but they give people a feeling of being as still as a mountain with thousands of troops, as if even he and the several law enforcers behind him could not defeat or shake them.

"Less than a month is enough. After all, we worked together to eliminate the Demon King of Dusk Fire in Huangquan Town. Mr. Faust is so famous in the Law Enforcement Bureau and is also known as a genius leader. I believe he must have the same opinion?"

You Yu did not retreat at all, as if Faust's words were just a puff of smoke. He had his own judgment on what kind of person Bai Ye was, and he did not need this queen student who had inexplicably appeared in the law enforcement bureau to take on an important task to help him judge.

"What a pity! I have no experience in facing such terrifying monsters. You are the best in the game."

Faust was stunned for a moment, but quickly adjusted his mood, still maintaining the humble impression everyone had of him: "But... Detective, are you so difficult to talk to?"

Even if the person behind you is a juvenile delinquent, are you going to stand there with the Squid Detective Agency and be my enemy?

The implication of Faust's words is clear.

“I think I made it pretty obvious.”

You Yu reiterated his position, and Faust sighed regretfully: "This is not a wise choice."

You Yu shook his head: "Whether it is brilliant or not is not for you to judge. I think our energy should be focused on the information of the Ten Commandments Token, right?"

Faust smiled regretfully and sighed: "You are right, Youyu."

But his eyes were full of coldness.
