Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Coercion and Temptation (1/2)
The turbulence in Qin Siyang's heart was not reflected on his face in the slightest.
He sat with his back to the computer, staring directly at Wang Defa. His entire face was hidden in the shadows, making Wang Defa's heart hang in suspense.
Wang Defa swallowed, his Adam's apple moving as his scruffy beard twitched twice. Then, a bead of sweat trickled down from his chin.
"So, if you want to use a fake Sequence to register with the Sequence Ability User Management Bureau, you can't do it directly."
"You have to find someone to help you."
Qin Siyang was once again shocked,'There are actually people within the Sequence Ability User Management Bureau who dare to help falsify records?'
'Could it be that many people, like me, don't want their secrets exposed?'
However, Qin Siyang didn't voice these questions because a mere internet café owner like Wang Defa couldn't possibly know the answers.
He only asked about things Wang Defa could provide information on.
"Find someone? Who?"
"Boss, as for who to find, I really don't know... I'm not a Sequence Ability User myself, knowing even this much is already quite difficult..."
Qin Siyang sneered,"If you don't know who to ask for help, then everything you just said was pointless."
Wang Defa hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qin Siyang in the shadows, and then said,"I don't know who can help, but I have a rough idea of who might know an insider in the Bureau."
"Name."
"The blonde police officer from the Police Bureau, Roylena."
"Roylena?"
Qin Siyang wasn't familiar with the people in the Police Bureau since he had never interacted with the officers before.
Or rather, if he had interacted with them, it had always been in the dark—mainly a battle of wits while remaining anonymous.
"Yes, Roylena. The reason I know about this is because about three years ago, she came to my place and asked me to set up a computer for her to use with a hidden address."
"I… I thought she was quite pretty with her blonde hair and blue eyes, so I got curious about what she was doing here."
"So, you monitored her computer?"
"Yes..."
Looks like Liu Dazhi's habit of spying on customers came from his boss, Wang Defa.
The difference was that Wang Defa had some self-awareness—he knew what he should and shouldn't do after peeping. Liu Dazhi, on the other hand, had only picked up Wang Defa's bad habits without learning his cunning.
"She was in a chat room, anonymously conversing with someone about this exact matter. She wanted that person to help her sort out her identity. A Sequence Ability User needing help with their identity? I could only assume she was trying to falsify her Sequence."
"Later, I heard that Roylena joined the Police Bureau, and with the Sequence [Fragrance Seeker]—a Sequence the Police Bureau particularly favors—it only made me more certain that something was off about her."
"If she really had the [Fragrance Seeker] Sequence, why would she be worried about her identity?"
Qin Siyang nodded slightly, agreeing that Wang Defa's deduction made sense. Roylena's Sequence was likely suspicious.
"That person didn't leave any clues?"
Wang Defa thought for a moment, then shook his head,"No, that person was also anonymous. I only remember that in the chatroom, their alias was [Dream Maker]."
"But the aliases in that chatroom seem to be randomly assigned and change daily. That day, they were called Dream Maker—next time, they could be called something completely different. So, I don't think this counts as a real lead."
Qin Siyang pondered for a moment before asking, "Then, what were the terms of their deal?"
"One silver coin. Roylena placed a silver coin under a floor tile near one of the Safe Zone's exits. After that person took the money, they helped her falsify her registration information."
"You didn't try to pry up that tile and steal Roylena's silver coin in advance?"
Wang Defa smiled bitterly. "Boss, I wouldn't dare. If I had stolen her silver coin, she'd definitely suspect I was monitoring her. Then, wouldn't my internet café's reputation be ruined?"
