Prophet

Su Mo would never have dreamed that the figure suddenly appearing beyond his bedroom window would be that murderous Imperial Guard Female Captain!

When someone from the Imperial Guard suddenly crept over without making a sound, who wouldn't be afraid?

Not to mention the highest-ranking leader of the Imperial Guard Office!

Even Su Mo, who was himself an Imperial Guard Strongman, was no exception!

If it had been some other court official, they might have been scared to death on the spot!

Su Mo swallowed, struggling to calm himself down, and was just about to speak.

Then he suddenly froze.

What was going on?

Wasn't Lin Moyin's favorability at -5%?

How had it become -4%?

Although he didn't know the reason, it was definitely a good thing. It also proved that the Female Captain hadn't come to take his life.

Su Mo secretly let out a sigh of relief and calmed down considerably. In a deep voice, he said, "Captain Lin, you... when did you arrive?"

"What do you want with your subordinate?"

Lin Moyin was slightly suspicious in her heart.

That fellow had clearly been terrified just now.

How had he suddenly calmed down?

Could it be that he truly possessed some art of divination and had calculated the reason for her visit?

Her face, however, showed no emotion as she replied indifferently, "I arrived when the clouds and rain first began."

Su Mo instantly grew awkward.

She had actually arrived more than two hours ago!

She should have seen and heard everything that ought to be seen and heard, right?

Had that slight increase in favorability come from this?

Could this Lin Moyin be a mental pervert, with a fetish for eavesdropping and peeping?

Was this the proper way to unlock the Female Captain?

The entire process of his intimacy with the young widow had been watched with perfect clarity and heard in complete detail by his superior's superior's superior.

The embarrassment was indescribable.

Especially since he had made all sorts of excessive demands, forcing the young widow to submit!

Su Mo looked sheepishly at the Female Captain, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Lin Moyin expressionlessly glanced at Su Mo, then turned and walked toward the inner hall.

Su Mo obediently followed.

Once they reached the inner hall, Lin Moyin sat down, still without saying a word.

Su Mo lit an oil lamp first, then thought for a moment and said, "My lord, would you like some tea?"

Lin Moyin looked at Su Mo and continued to remain silent.

With a stiff scalp, Su Mo boiled some water and poured it out to brew tea for the uninvited Female Captain.

Only after he handed the earthenware bowl to the Female Captain did Lin Moyin cast a sidelong glance at it and suddenly say, "Why isn't it Wu County Yanshan tea?"

Su Mo's heart tightened!

She even knew that Dong Yangrong had sent him Yanshan tea!

That had happened before he entered the Imperial Guard Office and obtained the position of Strongman!

No wonder the Great Wu's foremost intelligence agency was so formidable!

They had probably investigated him from head to toe, perhaps even knowing what color of underpants he was wearing today!

He could only replace the tea with Yanshan tea for the Female Captain.

Lin Moyin didn't even look at it, however. Her gaze remained fixed on Su Mo's face.

Only after staring until Su Mo felt a little uneasy did she say, "You already know about the Heavenly Mother Cult?"

Su Mo nodded and replied, "Yes, my lord."

"After leaving the Imperial Guard Office, I asked my maternal uncle about the Heavenly Mother Cult."

"But most of what my uncle said was hearsay, and I couldn't distinguish truth from falsehood."

Lin Moyin nodded, her tone becoming considerably gentler. "Tell me what you know."

Su Mo had no choice but to recount everything he knew about the Heavenly Mother Cult.

After he finished, Lin Moyin neither affirmed nor denied it, and the favorability above her head did not change at all.

Just as Su Mo was secretly wondering why she had suddenly come to his residence in the middle of the night,

Lin Moyin suddenly said, "Disciples of the Heavenly Mother Cult have appeared in Iron Mountain and Anyang Counties."

"Tonight, they will hold sacrificial ceremonies at the City God Temples in both counties."

"The two Imperial Guard Offices have already launched arrest operations."

As she spoke, Lin Moyin narrowed her eyes slightly and stared straight into Su Mo's. "You said you possessed the ability to foresee the future."

"Then do you know whether this operation will yield any results?"

Su Mo was stunned when he heard this.

He had no ability to foresee the future.

It all depended on the mission system's prompts!

Who knew whether the Imperial Guards of the two counties could catch the cultists at the City God Temples?

It seemed very difficult to lie in front of an Imperial Guard Captain.

He shouldn't dream of challenging someone else's profession with his own hobbies.

She had no idea how many cunning old foxes she had interrogated.

He could only smile bitterly and say, "My lord, sometimes I do indeed inexplicably experience similar sensations."

"It's just that I can't control them, nor do I dare to be certain that they are truly accurate!"

He had to lay down a disclaimer in advance.

Otherwise, if the Female Captain decided that he could foresee the future and came looking for him about everything, he would be in trouble.

After all, Su Mo had no control over the mission contents!

Lin Moyin's face remained expressionless, and her voice revealed no emotion. "I told you to speak, so speak!"

"Say it. Whether you're right or wrong, I won't punish you!"

"If you refuse, I'll kill you!"

Damn it!

Su Mo cursed inwardly.

She talked about killing people at the drop of a hat. Wasn't she afraid that her subordinates would one day ride roughshod over her and retaliate?

He thought for a moment and was just preparing to flatter the Imperial Guard, saying that their deployment would certainly yield results.

The words had reached his lips when he suddenly stopped.

No!

Although the mission said that the Dried Corpse Case would very likely appear at the City God Temple and Dragon King Temple next,

it had also offered another reminder.

Go to Dragon Gate Cave in Taihe County and take a look. There might be discoveries!

If the Imperial Guard could successfully arrest the Heavenly Mother Cultists at the City God Temples in Iron Mountain and Anyang,

then the later reminder should have been telling him to go look at the City God Temples in the two counties today!

This meant that the City God Temples in the two counties were very likely a smokescreen!

The Heavenly Mother Cult had survived to this day despite Great Wu's harsh suppression.

How could they have been so easily discovered by the Imperial Guard?

Having thought of this,

Su Mo no longer hesitated. In a deep voice, he said, "My lord!"

"Although I don't know the exact situation, I feel that the Heavenly Mother Cultists are treacherous and ruthless. They likely wouldn't expose their whereabouts so easily."

"The two county offices' operation this time will most likely end in vain!"

As soon as he said this,

a razor-sharp chill suddenly flashed through the Female Captain's eyes!

She fell silent once more.

Su Mo obediently stood to the side.

If the Female Captain didn't speak, he truly didn't dare sit down!

A full two quarters of an hour passed, and Su Mo felt uncomfortable all over.

A figure suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

"My lord, Dark Guard 0231 has a report!"

Su Mo...

For fuck's sake!

His residence was practically the same as having no door at all. People came in whenever they pleased!

Tomorrow, he would go to the dog market and buy a few vicious hounds.

The big, ferocious kind.

He'd see whether they could bite him to death!

Lin Moyin, meanwhile, coldly said, "Come in!"

Dark Guard 0231 flashed into the inner hall.

"Reporting to my lord, urgent reports have arrived from Anyang and Iron Mountain!"

He then respectfully handed a sealed letter to the Female Captain.

Lin Moyin accepted the sealed letter and carefully examined the secret marks and wax seal left on it.

Only then did she open it and read it once beneath the oil lamp.

She waved for the Dark Guard to leave.

Her gaze fell on Su Mo, her eyes carrying an indescribable meaning. "You were right!"

"The cultists at the City God Temples in the two counties were villagers driven by the cultists to disguise themselves as members of the evil cult and confuse our line of sight."

Su Mo secretly let out a sigh of relief.

He truly hadn't guessed wrong.

The system had not deceived him!

Lin Moyin stared at Su Mo again and said, "Tell me what you think next."

"Where do you think the real Heavenly Mother Cultists are hiding?"

At these words,

Su Mo's expression changed slightly!

Of course he knew where the Heavenly Mother Cultists were hiding.

Wasn't it Dragon Gate Cave in Taihe County?

The problem was, he didn't dare say it!
