Events proved that [Truth] was indeed very effective. That afternoon, after Lin Ruo checked the progress of Klein's homework from last time and taught him some new mystical knowledge, Ian knocked on the door of Sherlock's Detective Agency.

Faced with Ian's visit, Klein naturally didn't hide the fact that he had found Zreal the detective's body. Subsequently, he took Ian to Zreal's body, completed the commission, and suggested that he report it to the police.

Everything developed on the surface as it did in the original story, but when Ian secretly returned to the place where Zreal's body was and removed the false tooth engraved with the method to urgently contact Zreal's superior, Lin Ruo was secretly watching him.

"Mr. Ian, are you planning to use the emergency contact information engraved on the inside of that false tooth to contact Zreal's superior?"

After Ian finally got the false tooth in his hand, Lin Ruo dispelled his concealment and said abruptly.

Ian was so frightened that his body trembled, and he almost threw the false tooth in his hand. He turned around to look at Lin Ruo in disbelief, and then almost immediately tried to escape.

But before he could run a few steps, he heard Lin Ruo's very light but extremely majestic voice:

"Imprisonment."

Ian's footsteps suddenly stopped. He only felt that the surrounding air had turned into a transparent wall in an instant, completely imprisoning him. At this moment, he was, in a sense, like an amber.

As an intelligence agent running around Backlund, Ian had seen some people with Beyonder abilities, so he immediately realized that he had encountered a Beyonder.

And it was the kind of powerful existence that he absolutely couldn't resist!

"I personally suggest that you don't try to escape. Although your crime doesn't warrant death, just the fact that you involved my student in your troubles is enough for me to give you a little taste of suffering. Of course, if you are willing to cooperate with me, I will not harm you.", Lin Ruo said unhurriedly. At the same time as he finished speaking, he released Ian's imprisonment.

The latter, although he looked terrified, was obviously very sensible. He didn't choose to escape again, but obediently turned around and said, "What do you need me to cooperate with?"

"This is not a suitable place to talk. Come with me.", Lin Ruo naturally didn't plan to talk to Ian in this stinking sewer. He then took Ian out of the sewer and reunited with Klein, who was waiting outside the sewer.

The two then took Ian to an anonymous hotel and rented a room at random.

"Ian, an orphan adopted by Zreal the detective, has been collecting intelligence for him in Backlund. In essence, he is a spy of the Feysac Empire.", Lin Ruo said unhurriedly, looking at Ian, who was standing obediently, waiting for orders.

"Not long ago, you discovered the whereabouts of the 'Helmosuin Manuscript' and told Zreal the detective. Then Zreal the detective died, and you began to be hunted down."

Ian wasn't too surprised to hear this, because he had already been shocked in the sewer.

The other party even knew the emergency contact information engraved on Zreal the detective's false tooth, so it was naturally not surprising to know this.

"Aren't you curious about who is hunting you down?" Lin Ruo said with a smile.

Ian pursed his lips upon hearing this, and then asked, "Who is it?" While asking this, he was also constantly observing Lin Ruo's expression.

"The ones hunting you down are spies from Intis. In fact, the reason why Zreal the detective died was because an Intis spy was lurking beside his superior.", Lin Ruo's smile was gentle, and his voice was soft, with a reassuring taste, "So you should be glad that you didn't have time to contact Zreal the detective's superior through that false tooth."

Ian's pupils shrank. He wasn't stupid. Hearing this, he immediately realized what would happen if he really contacted that superior, and he was immediately a little scared.

Then he hesitated and said, "Detective Sherlock, Mr. Assistant, what exactly do you need me to do?"

He wouldn't ask the identities of the two people in front of him. Even though he was very curious, Ian always understood the principle that the more you know, the faster you die. He only wanted to know what these two people wanted him to do.

"What I need you to do is very simple. First, tell me the whereabouts of the 'Helmosuin Manuscript'. Second, lend me the identity of 'Ian' for a while.", Lin Ruo said with a smile, "As a reward, I will provide you with safe and brand-new identity documents to help you start a new life with a new identity, whether you want to leave Backlund or stay here, you can."

That's right, Lin Ruo planned to borrow "Ian's" identity for a while, that is, he planned to stir up trouble under the other party's guise—he wanted to try to see if he could use the "Helmosuin Manuscript" as bait, in Ian's identity, to provoke the Intis spies to fight with MI9, and finally leave a fake "Helmosuin Manuscript" for them, would that count as completing a conspiracy.

Although there was suspicion of using someone else's resources, Lin Ruo felt that it should count, because since he intervened, the entire "Helmosuin Manuscript" incident had actually become a conspiracy that he was manipulating behind the scenes to achieve his plans.

He used Klein as bait, planning to enforce the law and kill Master Luo. This was both paving the way for the birth of the world, training Klein, and providing him with Sequence 5 materials.

He ordered the Aurora Order to assassinate the Intis ambassador, consolidating his image in the Aurora Order, and using this as an excuse to restrain Aurora Order members. He also eliminated the hidden danger of Klein being remembered by the Intis ambassador in the future, while openly clearing himself.

Finally, he was about to disguise himself as Ian, guide the development of the whole thing, deliberately let the Intis spies further conflict with MI9, and finally planned to use a fake "Helmosuin Manuscript" to fool everyone, making them feel that this thing from beginning to end was a conspiracy against the Intis spies, which both hit the Intis spies and pitted MI9.

Although from the perspective of the plot, most of his actions were just doing things in accordance with the plot, but from a realistic perspective, how could these three things not be considered weaving a conspiracy?

Lin Ruo said that he was looking forward to it.

Ian naturally didn't know that Lin Ruo in front of him was planning to use someone else's resources to digest the Conspirer potion. He also didn't understand why the other party wanted to borrow his identity. He could only instinctively guess that the other party might want to do something.

Ian was assessing Lin Ruo's credibility in his heart, and finally said: "I hope to leave Backlund and live a new life."

He really didn't know how credible the person in front of him was, and whether he would kill him after knowing the whereabouts of the "Helmosuin Manuscript".

But Ian knew that he had no other choice, so he could only bet that the other party would keep his promise.
