Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 767: Chapter 340: Divine Hall of Truth (3)

Knowing this and still delivering themselves proves their identity is solid.

After Xu Dejun’s introduction, an impatient person couldn’t help but ask:

”Mr. Xu, you hurriedly gathered us here, what urgent matter could it be?”

Another pawnshop owner-looking man, dressed in a robe full of golden copper coins, with a wealthy stature, echoed:

”And you even set the place in a safe zone. I’ve already exceeded the limit by four days this month. It cost me sixteen thousand Rotten Silver Coins to come this time, and I don’t even know if I can get reimbursed.”

Seeing everyone discussing, Xu Dejun and Wu Chang exchanged glances, then said:

”The reason for hastily gathering everyone is to invite Lord Peace to identify the Bright Society’s hidden mole among us.”

”We just learned of the Bright Society’s moves, and the next moment, they sent someone to block the door and silence people. If there isn’t a mole, who would believe it?”

Hearing the word ’mole’, everyone looked serious.

The impatient one who spoke first said:

”Catching the mole is indeed urgent, but can a kid from the Desolate Realm really do it?”

”I’m not questioning his strength. After all, being able to save Mr. Xu from the Bright Society, he must have some tricks. But there are specializations in the arts, and the moles of the Bright Society are notoriously hidden. Even the Realm of Reason has no means to detect them, can he really do it?”

Wu Chang stood up and said:

”Whether it works or not, we’ll know after a try. If I can’t do it, Mr. Xu will reimburse everyone for the safe zone expenses for free.”

Some of those present were dissatisfied, especially the fat shop owner who had exceeded the limit four times and spent sixteen thousand to enter the safe zone, but his face immediately broke into a smile.

Everyone said in unison, ”Mr. Xu, you’ve gone to great expense!”

Xu Dejun turned to look at Wu Chang, his eyes full of questions.

No, he hadn’t mentioned this on the way here.

This group of people each exceeded the limit at least twice, if he were to reimburse them all, it would be the end of him.

Xu Dejun’s lips moved a few times, but in the end, he didn’t reject Wu Chang’s proposal, forcing a stiff smile and said to everyone:

”As Lord Peace said, if it turns out this is a wasted trip, I will bear the travel expenses.”

Forget it, spending money to avoid calamity, let’s treat it as buying life as repayment for saving a life.

The majority of the crowd agreed with Xu Dejun’s proposal, even if a few were unwilling, they didn’t dare deny it.

Refusing in such a situation would be suspect, so they had no choice but to cooperate with the investigation.

Wu Chang’s detection method was simple, separating everyone into individual rooms.

He would enter one by one, asking each person simple situation inquiries.

For example, how did they escape when leaving, had they encountered any suspicious individuals recently, and what were their thoughts on the Bright Society’s actions this time, etc.

The questions weren’t important; what mattered was the chance to be alone with them.

In the Realm of Reason, especially in the Order Sect of the Realm of Reason, it’s not too difficult to find tokens of the Bright Society.

He attempted to use the ”Hate Mark” skill of ”Survivor’s Revenge” to detect who among them were members of the Bright Society.

Previously in the Cursed Dungeon, he locked onto Lee using this trick, which worked very well.

To ensure the skill was tested on everyone at once, Wu Chang’s questioning process was quick, taking less than an hour to go through everyone present.

The process went smoothly, but the result wasn’t ideal.

Out of twenty-one people interviewed individually, Survivor’s Revenge showed no response.

Just as the impatient one had mentioned, the moles cultivated by the Bright Society in the Realm of Reason are much trickier than those in the Desolate Realm.

But it makes sense, if an A-Level item like ”Survivor’s Revenge” from the Desolate Realm could easily detect moles in the Realm of Reason, the Order Sect would have long since done an internal purge.

It seems a method beyond A-Level items or even more advanced than detection means in the Realm of Reason is needed to find the moles.

Does Wu Chang have such a method? Indeed he does.

Seizing a moment when no one was watching, Wu Chang pulled out the All-Knowing Crystal and asked:

”Among those Order Sect members just now, who are guilty, who are Bright Society moles?”

The All-Knowing Crystal spun in the air, and after a moment, gave Wu Chang a list and the suspicious points of the targets.

Feeling the information in his mind, Wu Chang’s lips curled up into a smile.

From the very start, his reliance wasn’t just on ”Survivor’s Revenge.”

He said the questions weren’t important, requiring only isolation with a few, merely to fool Xu Dejun.

The questions he asked weren’t random, but well-prepared, designed personally by the All-Knowing Crystal.

Without a doubt, the All-Knowing Crystal, as a possible product from the Abyss Fourth Layer, its capability far surpasses means in the Realm of Reason, even the Bright Society cannot resist.

Sorry, this time it’s truly a hang.

It’s just an officially approved cheat.

After analysis, among the twenty-one individuals, there were two Bright Society moles and a suspected Evolution Sect mole.

The two with Kuafu location marks on their foreheads weren’t Bright Society moles.

The fact that they survived should purely be due to luck, Kuafu didn’t have time to hunt them down.

Wu Chang conducted a symbolic second interrogation, taking advantage of the two’s inattentiveness, crushing the position coordinates above their heads.

Then he announced to everyone that his ability was slightly lacking and failed to successfully find the moles, expressing his apology to them.

Regarding Wu Chang’s failure, no one was dissatisfied, even including Xu Dejun, who felt secretly relieved in his heart.

It seems this youngster isn’t omnipotent; although he reigns in the Desolate Realm, in the Realm of Reason he hits a wall too.

He is like them, capable of misjudgment and failure.

The crowd began to reassure:

”Lord Peace, you have good intentions. It’s just that the Bright Society is too cunning.”

”Lord Peace need not mind; helping Mr. Xu find the mole was our due responsibility anyway.”

Wu Chang gave Xu Dejun a look and said:

”In that case, please return with Mr. Xu to the Order Sect’s private space. Today’s matter stemmed from me, so I’ll naturally bear half of the reimbursement for travel expenses.”

Receiving Wu Chang’s look, Xu Dejun felt a pang of alarm in his heart.

No way, could he even tell who the Bright Society’s mole is?

Taking advantage of the situation, Xu Dejun selected a large private space in the Order Sect to ease everyone’s vigilance.

When everyone activated the teleportation array, a flash of light appeared, and they entered the large private space.

Before they could see clearly, three people in the crowd let out a scream and disappeared instantly, leaving only a puddle of water on the ground.

Along with them, Peace was also gone.

The impatient one was confused for a moment, asking:

”Mr. Xu, what does this mean?”

Xu Dejun smiled bitterly: ”I don’t know either, let’s trust that Lord Peace will give us an explanation.”

”An explanation? Regardless of whether his judgment is right or wrong, if he silences the three, how would we distinguish real from fake?”

”Indeed.”

...

The crowd began discussing, immediately planning to invite a master from the Order Sect to the private space to evaluate the situation.

Before they reached a conclusion, Wu Chang reappeared, and with a wave of his hand, threw out the three semi-conscious moles who had been disoriented by the Water of the Blind Abyss.

Seeing Wu Chang’s calm face, not even panting, then looking at the three half-comatose colleagues on the ground, the crowd fell silent on the spot.

Among the three, two had gaping wounds in their abdomens, their armor and bodies were pierced together, visible through the other side.

But the wounds didn’t look like penetration injuries; they appeared more like injuries from inside out.

The other one didn’t bleed but had his limbs twisted into a pretzel, convulsing endlessly, appearing even more horrifying.

Wu Chang glanced around and said: ”Rest assured, I struck with moderation, it won’t harm their lives.”
