"Compared to Yukino?"

"Bigger."

"Haha……"

Haruno covered her mouth and laughed. She also had to admire Lin Ye's directness; how could a normal man say such things to her face?

But this made her feel that Lin Ye was even more interesting. Compared to the boredom of those men, Lin Ye brought her a fresher and more curious experience, making her hope to constantly understand Lin Ye's intentionally disguised true heart.

"Yukino is very cute. Don't look at her cold nature; in reality, she is very gentle to acquaintances. As long as Lin-kun walks into Yukino's heart, you can taste the gentleness opened only for you."

"Too difficult. It's better to have you, Yukinoshita-san. I think you're quite good, gentler, kinder, more beautiful, and understand men's hearts better than Yukinoshita-san."

"Hahaha, I'm not gentle, not kind, I can't! I don't want to snatch a boyfriend from Yukino. If Yukino finds out, she'll hate me to death."

Haruno waved her hand and refused.

"What a pity."

Lin Ye shrugged, but his tone didn't show any disappointment, as if this answer had no impact on him at all.

The small private room returned to calm. The two ate Wagyu beef, their gazes met, but neither spoke again.

Soon, Haruno spoke again,

"Almost forgot, there's one thing I forgot to tell Lin-kun. The Tosa Inu that Lin Ye beat to death, the dog's owner also appeared at the scene, and she was shouting for Lin-kun to take responsibility! To pay with your life."

"What a pity,"

"Pity what?"

"If she were at the scene, I wouldn't mind giving her a couple of whacks with the rod too."

"How interesting, if Yukino heard this, she would definitely be even happier, although she would definitely say you can't do that."

At this moment, Yukinoshita Haruno was a bit nervous; she was about to mention the true purpose of this invitation to Lin Ye.

"Actually! Chiba police indicated that this Tosa Inu had some problems,"

"Its body size was far larger than a normal Tosa Inu. According to the battle traces left at the alley scene, this wasn't a destructive power that a normal Tosa Inu could cause."

At the scene, the alley walls and concrete floor all showed cracks of varying degrees, and there were even obvious dents.

How could an ordinary dog cause such destructive power? It was simply impossible.

Yukino didn't realize this problem, but she did, and the Chiba police also realized it.

"Is that so? The situation was urgent at the time, I didn't notice it. I thought that Tosa Inu just had simple rabies."

A look of surprise appeared on Lin Ye's face; he looked as if he hadn't noticed it at all.

"But hearing Yukinoshita-san say that, that dog really did have a little bit of a problem. Where would an ordinary dog dare to attack people in broad daylight? This makes me suspect if Chiba has too many wild dogs recently and they're starving to the point of fainting, rushing to attack people in the daytime."

"Haha, there aren't many wild dogs in Chiba, and that Tosa Inu wasn't a wild dog either; it just got lost a few days ago and was wandering outside. I don't know for what reason it became that ferocious. I was thinking Lin-kun knew the reason!"

"I don't know."

Haruno's eyes shifted; she clearly felt Lin Ye's attitude.

Continue?

She was 80% sure that the other party was a player of the 'Eerie Game', and the other party was clearly trying to hide his identity.

Therefore, should she stop here, or continue to show her attitude and friendliness to the other party to make him trust her?

Haruno thought deeply.

"Hey, hey, Lin Ye, you can actually trust me more. I've already asked the Chiba Police Station to keep it a secret; the relevant information and data have been processed and won't be sent to the Public Security Special Action Division."

When she rushed to the scene and determined that this was an Eerie incident that was highly likely to involve 'Eerie creatures', she used the family's connections to immediately have the person in charge of the Chiba Police Station keep it a secret, treating the incident as a general public security incident of 'a dog attacking people'.

And her purpose was very simple: to establish a friendly relationship with Lin Ye.

The number of Eerie Game players was extremely small, and they could die in any 'Eerie Game' at any time in the future, but every player was precious, and their own strength, as well as the props and skills obtained from the 'Eerie Game', were things that countless forces and families in reality craved.

The world had changed, and a new revolution had already appeared.

Whether for herself, for the family, or for her sister, the moment she realized that the person beside her was an 'Eerie Game player', she didn't want to miss it.

Haruno opened her wallet and placed a black bank card in front of Lin Ye.

"There is 100 million yen in the card; this is almost all the money in my small treasury. The password is Yukino's birthday. Lin-kun, use it first."

"Yukinoshita-san, are you trying to keep me? I'm not that kind of man."

A rich woman's move is really different! Directly using 100 million as a unit, although it was yen, this 100 million yen was also a lot. At least all his assets combined right now weren't even 1%.

"It's to support you."

She said seriously,

"Lin-kun will definitely have many places to use money in the future. This is my support for you. If Lin-kun doesn't have enough money in the future, just tell me directly, or if you need some special items or equipment, I can help you obtain the items you need in the name of the Yukinoshita family."

"The Yukinoshita family isn't considered a big family in all of Japan, but here in Chiba, it still has some say and also has some relationship networks, which can make it convenient for Lin-kun to do some things."

This was already almost a showdown.

Yukinoshita Haruno's purpose was already very obvious.

She wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with him.

Deny? Even if he denied it, it wouldn't change Yukinoshita Haruno's judgment and determination of his identity as an Eerie player. If he denied it, Yukinoshita Haruno's future behavior similar to today's would only be more frequent.

Unless she found a new target.

But as of now, Haruno hadn't come into contact with other Eerie Game players. Clearly, the number of Eerie players in all of Japan and the whole world was still extremely small.

The Yukinoshita family, a family that couldn't even be ranked in Japan, wanted to come into contact with 'Eerie players' who had already been exposed to the official vision and even joined the official side, which was something completely impossible to do.

But clearly, Haruno, who knew about the 'Eerie Game', had already realized the importance of 'Eerie players' to the changes in the world and the future landscape.

Befriending him in advance now and using money to win him over was an investment behavior with great returns. If she lost, it would at most be the loss of some money, but if she succeeded, the future returns would only be big, not small.

The tide of the new era had already arrived. If one wanted to ride the sailboat to the future era, 'Eerie players' were indispensable.

"Yukinoshita-san."

"Lin-kun, speak."

Yukinoshita Haruno waited for Lin Ye's answer, her heart also a little nervous.

"Why go to such lengths!"

"You're making it very difficult for me like this."

Lin Ye pretended to be embarrassed.

"This is my sincerity, and also the sincerity of our Yukinoshita family."

But suddenly,

Yukinoshita Haruno discovered that Lin Ye, who was sitting in front of her, had disappeared, and her neck immediately felt a cold blade; it was the knife for cutting steak.

"Don't move!"

The calm voice coming from behind made Yukinoshita Haruno freeze. Her heart couldn't help but hang up, and her breathing became a little faster.

"Lin-kun, what are you……"

"Some things, if said too clearly, will make people feel insecure. Actually, wouldn't it have been better to stop there just now?"

His voice was a bit cold.

Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but glance back from the corner of her eye, but she couldn't see Lin Ye behind her at all.

The next moment, she felt Lin Ye's left thumb touch her left cheek, rubbing gently, as if he were tasting the touch of her skin.

Haruno didn't dare to move at all.

"Compared to the cooperation with Haruno-san, believe me, Haruno-san, I think letting Haruno-san disappear from this world forever is actually a more reassuring thing."

Haruno's heart immediately sank to the bottom.

A mistake. She perhaps should have brought Yukino; that would have been the correct choice. No, she couldn't bring Yukino; she couldn't put Yukino in a dangerous situation.

And just as Haruno was about to speak to explain, Lin Ye's finger suddenly pressed against Haruno's red lips, stroking gently.

Haruno didn't dare to move around even more.

"Please rest assured, regarding the personnel involved, I will go and deal with them one after another tonight, ensuring that no one will have the possibility of leaking my identity."

A murderer, completely indifferent to human life.

'Gulp……'

Haruno couldn't help but swallow; the cold blade pressed even tighter.

She realized that her judgment of Lin Ye had a serious error. According to the information she had collected about Lin Ye, Lin Ye was an introverted, silent, and kind boy.

She analyzed and judged that Lin Ye should be a player who hadn't participated in the 'Eerie Game' for long, still holding onto the concepts and kindness of the peaceful era.

As long as she showed sincerity and friendliness, and relied on the relationship with Yukino, she could gain Lin Ye's trust.

But…… she was wrong; all of this was his disguise.

"If too many people die, the official side won't give up the investigation."
