Chapter 999: It is reasonable for a master assassin of the Shadow Cult to be able to crack traps and steal.
It was getting late, and Mo Cheng and Yue Yao were invited by Bai Qianwan to stay overnight.
At the same time, Mo Cheng could sense that Bai Qianwan seemed to be consciously separating him and Yue Yao. At first, she let her niece take Mo Cheng to visit the gardens. After seeing that he had no interest in the gardens, she cleverly changed the topic and rearranged it.
When night fell, Mo Cheng, who was supposed to see Yue Yao, found out that their guest rooms were not next to each other, and were even some distance apart.
The explanation Mo Cheng got was that noble ladies often came here to visit, so the accommodation was strictly separated by gender to avoid misunderstandings and accidents.
Even the president of the Baiqian Guild lives obediently in the men's courtyard here, while the women's courtyard is looked after by someone else.
Mo Cheng accepted this explanation on the surface, because his clone did not send any dangerous information, and Yue Yao was in a very safe situation.
But late at night, an invisible and intangible ghost passed through the door and sneaked towards Yueyao's room according to the terrain he had memorized during his tour today.
What is the purpose of using such crude means?
Mo Cheng doesn't care about the answer to the question, or rather, thinking about such questions is a waste of time. He prefers to solve the person who created the problem, so that there will be no problem at all.
Mo Cheng was not obstructed or disturbed in the [Ghost Walk] state, and even some formation restrictions used for detection were not effective at all.
With the sense of his clone, Mo Cheng quickly arrived at Yue Yao's room. After walking through the door, Mo Cheng planned to show up and discuss with Yue Yao what happened today.
But as soon as his figure appeared, several cold lights flashed before his eyes and rushed straight towards Mo Cheng.
Mo Cheng immediately flipped his palm, and a suction force rose from the palm of his hand, trapping all the cold lights in his palm.
"It's me, Mo Cheng."
After revealing her identity in a low voice, Yue Yao finally stopped taking action. Just now, her hands had already touched several of the most powerful magic weapons.
"I haven't seen you for a day, and you've already mastered this trick. I almost thought it was some flower thief who was good at stealing women and jade who broke in."
Knowing that Yueyao was joking, Mo Cheng smiled and replied, "It depends on who the target is. If it's anyone else, Mo Cheng wouldn't even look at her even if the door was wide open. But if it's Yueyao, even if I read all the books of saints, I still can't get over it."
We haven't seen each other for quite some time. It seems Yueyao has gained something, otherwise she wouldn't have been joking in such a joking tone just now.
Yue Yao blushed at Mo Cheng's words, then glared at him and said meaningfully, "How about Chairman Bai's niece? During my conversation with Chairman Bai today, he asked me a lot about you. As long as you agree, you will be the son-in-law of the World Chamber of Commerce."
President Bai’s niece?
Mo Cheng thought for a moment and said bluntly, "He is well-educated, gentle, considerate, and has superb assassination skills, and he conceals his identity very cleverly."
President Bai's niece concealed it very well, but it could not hide it from Mo Cheng's eyes.
"I guess President Bai must have many such nieces in his hands, to marry to those . When those people become obstacles, his nieces will become daggers by their pillows."
In Mo Cheng's eyes, there was no need to speculate too much about the duties of President Bai's so-called "nieces". He even had some guesses about where these "nieces" came from.
Either they are carefully selected from orphans who have received countless favors, or they are selected from the orphans under their command.
Anyone who wants to set up a secret organization or use similar means basically only has a few channels to source loyal subordinates.
Thinking of this, Mo Cheng couldn't help but sigh. He asked, "So what are we going to do this time? If we want to kill hundreds of thousands of people..."
"No." Before she finished speaking, Yue Yao shook her head. "The evidence is insufficient. We have not been able to prove that Bai Qianwan was involved in the attack on me at Dangyang Slope and his collusion with the Ten Directions Demon Bandits. He can't just die like this. Killing him without teaching is cruel."
"Moreover, as the president of the [World Chamber of Commerce], the assassination of Baiwan will trigger a series of chain reactions. The livelihood and economy of [Nanli Daoyu] will be severely damaged in a short period of time. The trade systems of various countries will be directly decoupled, and at least a large piece of flesh and blood will be torn off from each of them."
"At least there must be conclusive evidence before the canonical punishment can be carried out. If someone kills someone, his heart must be destroyed."
Seeing Yueyao's insistence, Mo Cheng said no more.
After all, this matter is also one of the government affairs that Yue Yao must deal with, and he is just here to serve as a guard due to the current shortage of troops.
This is also one of the reasons why Mo Cheng personally does not like to establish or join organizations, because the [organization] itself means that you need to move forward according to a common goal and be subject to common restrictions.
Something built with rules and frameworks is called an organization.
At this time, Yue Yao said, "Bai Qianwan has a secret account book in his hand, which contains the contract signed by both parties. Most of the things in the account book are things that cannot be seen in public. I am trying to find a way to get it."
"Where is the account book?"
"There are many restrictions in the study room. If you are not careful, you will..."
Yue Yao was about to explain to Mo Cheng how difficult it was to get Bai Qianwan's secret account book, but then she saw something in Mo Cheng's hand, "Is this... an account book?"
After taking the account book and flipping through a few pages, Yue Yao was able to confirm that this was the real thing, not something that looked like something else. "Where did you get it?"
Mo Cheng shrugged without saying anything, just smiling.
At this time, in addition to his original body and Yue Yao talking, clone No. 1 was patrolling the entire mansion invisibly, and investigating the various secret rooms and secret passages in this place.
The second clone was originally heading towards Bai Qianwan's room, intending to see if the other party was asleep, and considering whether to make Bai Qianwan sleep so hard that he could not get up.
However, when Yue Yao was talking about Bai Qianwan's account book, the second clone happened to pass by Bai Qianwan's study and took out the account book hidden inside.
After [Divided, We Stand] reaches Level 2, as long as the three bodies are not far apart, some small things in the hand can be teleported over short distances. Mo Cheng guessed that this is most likely related to the reason why the hero [Meepo] mysteriously split.
As for the mechanisms and restrictions in the hundreds of thousands of study rooms...
Not to mention that as a master assassin of the Shadow Clan, he already had quite good results in cracking mechanisms. Not to mention that as a lone ranger who went to dungeons all year round, if he wanted to enter hidden levels or fight against hidden bosses in dungeons, cracking and detecting mechanisms were compulsory courses.
As a master assassin of the Shadow Cult, it is reasonable for me to be able to secretly and silently break through mechanisms and steal.
