Mystery of New Land City

"What amazing reasoning skills! This kid is something else!"

"That's right. Everyone else is still hiding in the Ghost City, not knowing what to do, but he has already reached this level!"

"This guy, if trained properly, could be a good prospect!"

"..."

Many Examiners said this at this point.

Lin Mu's performance was outstanding, surpassing that of the other trainees.

Normally, when trainees enter this city, they will encounter attacks from Demon. They will use some methods to conceal their presence and then search for clues in the town.

You'll get bonus points if you discover that the Undead in the town are actually Demon.

If you can find any clues, you can get a certain number of points regardless of whether you pass the level or not.

Of course, there were also some with strong combat power who used props and weapons to directly engage in battle, cooperating with each other to kill one or two Demons.

At this pace, passing the level shouldn't be too difficult.

"Although the score he got from the third path wasn't as high as the first, his performance was still very good!" one of the Examiners said.

"I don't think so. I think he is very likely to be taking a completely new path!" Du Zian said.

The Examiners present looked puzzled.

A completely new path?

Du Zian nodded slightly.

"From the moment he fought the Demon, I could sense that he had his own ideas and plans. The reason he's solving the case now must be because he has other intentions!"

The Examiners looked puzzled.

All three paths to pass through the level are difficult.

What other plans does Lin Mu have?

Under their observation, Lin Mu's figure moved through the town, and soon he arrived in front of a mansion.

This is another wealthy businessman's residence.

In stark contrast to Merchant Jia, he was a capable assistant to the new city lord and was also cultivated by him.

In just a few years, he has established a large business in the city.

The place was also dilapidated. Lin Mu searched around inside and found several letters. He opened them, and line after line of content appeared.

"Brother Wang, this letter is like seeing you in person. There have been many problems in the north of the city recently, and I hope you can help me."

"Brother Wang, your suggestion is excellent. I will adopt it. I will send more people later to ensure that the New Land City is completely transformed."

"I have received the appointment from above, and they will send someone over soon. Our plan is about to succeed!"

"..."

Upon seeing this information, Lin Mu smiled slightly, having roughly figured out what had happened back then.

And what secrets this city holds.

His gaze turned towards Cui Boxuan.

"We don't have much time, so if we want to get a high score, we have to be quick!"

Cui Boxuan looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"

"I know you are very strong. You could easily handle a Demon. Moreover, I know the weaknesses of those Demons. If I use them, I can kill them all!" Lin Mu said.

"Then why did you spend so much time on it?" Cui Boxuan's expression of doubt deepened.

"Of course it's to get more points. There are multiple ways to solve the Death Gate, so there will naturally be multiple scoring standards. Don't you want to get more points?" Lin Mu asked back.

"Of course we need that! Points are very important for getting into the academy!" Cui Boxuan said.

"That's fine then, come with me!" Lin Mu said.

Cui Boxuan followed behind him.

"Next, we'll split into two groups. I'll go and solve the mystery, and you'll go and kill those Mental Bodies. If I'm not mistaken, they should be hiding their Mental Bodies somewhere, most likely in a cave. You can sneak in and kill them. Those Demon will be severely injured!" Lin Mu said.

"Why don't you go and kill them?"

Cui Boxuan asked.

Lin Mu: "Then you go and answer it?"

Cui Boxuan was slightly taken aback, then immediately shook his head. "Do I have that ability?"

"That's settled then!" Lin Mu said.

Cui Boxuan looked somewhat helpless. He took out some things from his Space Bracelet, and his aura quickly dissipated.

This was what he had prepared for the Martial Arts Exam. If Lin Mu hadn't been investigating all along, he would have taken it out long ago.

The figure walked to the side.

Lin Mu also walked forward. He arrived at the city gate, looked at the tall city gate, and slowly spoke.

"This place was originally Ghost City, but hundreds of years ago, a city lord attempted to change it and built New Land City here."

"In fact, every resident here is a vengeful ghost. They were suppressed by the city lord and turned into ordinary people, becoming the original inhabitants of this place."

"The good times didn't last long. The city lord underestimated the power of the Ghost City. It suffered a backlash and died soon. A new city lord came to power. He originally wanted to suppress the Ghost City, but he was influenced by the Ghost City and became a tyrant. He began to exploit the people without restraint, which led to a rebellion."

"After the Lord Wen came to power, he discovered the truth about this city and was well aware of the dangers here. So he had a new idea: he wanted to escape from here and become a normal person!"

"However, the Ghost City itself is a prison. He could not leave at all and could only die in the Ghost City. His descendants repeated the fate of the previous city lord and also suffered rebellion."

"This time, the new city lord came to power with extremely extreme ideas. He wanted to destroy the Ghost City and completely annihilate it, which led to a backlash!"

"Therefore, the original inhabitants here were not invaded at all, but were turned into this by the backlash of the Ghost City's power!"

As Lin Mu's voice continued to appear.

The entire town has undergone a dramatic change. The once dilapidated town is now like Ghost Market, with a blood-red hue enveloping the entire town.

The city gate in front of Lin Mu slowly opened.

This indicates that Lin Mu has passed the test.

A slight smile played on Lin Mu's lips as he charged to the side, long sword in hand.

The mystery is solved.

Those Demon deserve to die!

He arrived near the cave.

Cui Boxuan, wielding Long Sword, fought against a Demon, his figure retreating steadily.

Because not far away, several Demons were roaring.

They are covered by a special net, which temporarily prevents them from moving.

Upon seeing Lin Mu, Cui Boxuan quickly said, "These guys are too powerful, hurry up and help!"

Lin Mu's face showed a hint of helplessness.

This person looks aloof and seems very capable, but how come they're so unreliable?

He leaped forward and charged towards the Demon.

The Demon roared.

Lin Mu ignored them, went directly to the entrance of the cave, scanned it with his Mental Power, and quickly jumped into one of the caves.

The Demon's faces grew increasingly ferocious as they frantically struggled to break free of the net, attempting to stop Lin Mu.

Lin Mu was very fast, and he entered the depths of the cave almost instantly. He discovered dozens of Mental Bodies, and as he wielded his long sword, screams of agony followed.
