Chapter 2452 Scroll Of Nonsense
About an hour passed as Lin Mu continued to analyze the scroll with the silver band.
He didn't have much success, as the sealing array on the silver band was a bit too intricate. Lin Mu had to do everything half a step at a time, with the fear that any deep probing might end up causing the array to activate and destroy the scroll somehow.
As such, Lin Mu hadn't even managed to determine which kind of sealing array it exactly was.
'Whoever made this kept it messy intentionally,' Lin Mu realized. 'There are random formations that have nothing to do with the array present in this.' He discovered that there were formations like Odor Repelling formation, Anti-Hair Sticking Formation, and Glossy Tip Formation present in the array.
These most certainly had nothing to do with the Sealing array and when present in the hodgepodge of the formations, made it seem like they were different formations. Normally, Lin Mu would have found them rather quickly, but he had to be slow for the sake of caution. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
~CREAK~
Thankfully, he didn't need to struggle for long as the door of the Interrogation Cell of the Second Lieutenant opened.
"I got it," Commander Dui spoke, his sleeves having quite a bit of blood on it.
"You got the solution?" Lin Mu raised his brows. "He gave it up?" "The solution is his blood." Commander Dui replied as he dabbed his finger on the bloody sleeve and then touched the silver band.
~SHUA~
As soon as he did, the silver band glowed before the blood turned into a thin thread that wrapped around it. Lin MU could see the formations within the array sorting themselves before unraveling!
"That was interesting." While blood was a common key used for Sealing Arrays like this, it had been disguised rather decently.
"I don't sense anything." Lin Mu shook his head, having scanned it. And just in case, he also used his Spatial Perception to see if there was something else hidden, but found nothing. It was just plain parchment paper, and even the ink used to write on it seemed to be rather basic.
"It'll take a while to figure out what's the real meaning of this is ." Crown Prince Feng Shun let out a sign. "Let's make copies of it and let our people handle it." He stated.
"I can also assist." Lin Mu offered.
"You don't have to Daoist Lin Mu. Our intelligence department can take care of this. They are specialized in things like this," Crown Prince Feng Shun replied. "Not to mention, since the letter talked about the treasure being in the Dao Wind Empire. Our people have better knowledge of the locations within the empire, so they'll have an upper hand in this.' He explained.
"Indeed. Lord Imperator, you need not spend time in tasks like these." Commander Dui agreed. "There will be far more important things for you to do later anyways." "Alright." Lin Mu nodded his head. "What about the others?" he asked next.
"There hasn't been anything particular we've found from them right now." Commander Dui replied. "But we'll continue to interrogate them. At the very least, we should find the location of the outpost they talked about. If we can raid one, we'll gain a lot more information about the Black Ying Empire." He added.
"Keep me updated on it then." Lin Mu said before thinking of leaving. "I'll be back at my courtyard." "Have some time to yourself, Daoist Lin Mu." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke. "You've been unconscious for too long. You should go and have some fun in the city." He suggested.
"Fun in these times?" Lin Mu raised his brows.
"The city might have higher security but it's still functioning like before. You can always go out." The Crown Prince elaborated.
"Hmm, I'll think about it." Lin Mu said before taking his leave.
~SHUA~
He flew out of the Discipline hall along with Little Shrubby and made his way back to the Courtyard.
But just as he was about to step in, he suddenly thought of something.
'Wait... that was just one of the Military Districts... there can be Black Ying Members in the other districts too!' Lin Mu suddenly realized.
