I am Su Mu.
A cunning merchant who has traversed into a world of cultivation and magic!
My motto? [Pay-to-win to become immortal, grind till the end!]
Spending my own money is not...
The undercover agent who was hung and tortured was actually Ye Xian!
He is the teacher who taught Su Mu illusion and the Qingcheng Mountain fairy performance!
Fortunately, Su Mu reacted quickly and had good self-control. Although he was terrified inside, he did not show it on the surface. In his characteristic Kuimulang character, he even spat at Ye Xian who was being tortured and cursed her harshly.
But in his heart, he was thinking quickly: Is this person really Teacher Ye Xian? Or is he a fake bait created by the Life School?
Next to them, the servant who led them out of the office and Lei Zhenzi who was guarding outside were quietly observing their reactions.
After a while, Lei Zhenzi came over and said, "Come on, I'll take you to where you're staying."
After the attendant handed the person over to Lei Zhenzi, he turned back to the office and heard the elder ask in a deep voice: "How is it?"
"They saw the undercover's reaction and found nothing unusual."
The attendant gave the elder a detailed description of what he had just seen.
It turned out that the reason why Ye Xian suddenly raised her head and let Su Mu and others see her appearance was arranged by the School of Life.
If Su Mu and others had reacted slightly abnormally at that time, the members of the School of Life who were ambushing around them would rush out and attack them!
Fortunately, Su Mu and the puppet's acting skills are both at the level of an award-winning actor, natural and convincing.
The elder said 'hmm' and nodded slightly.
Even so, he did not let down his guard and still had people keep an eye on Su Mu and his gang.
On the other side, Su Mu and others followed Lei Zhenzi to a residential area.
As soon as he set foot here, Su Mu's keen perception allowed him to discover several surveillance cameras hidden in the dark.
Some of them are magical weapons, while others are strange creatures modified by genetic experiments.
Su Mu believed that in addition to these things, there should be more surveillance cameras hidden in places he had not discovered yet.
However, Su Mu pretended not to know and just thought in his heart: "It seems that the Life School's suspicion of us has not been lifted. I want to contact the school to confirm Teacher Ye Xian's situation, but using ordinary methods will not work."
When he arrived at the small secret realm, his cell phone had no signal at all. Su Mu originally wanted to use the clone communication talisman, but considering the monitoring strength of the School of Life, he was afraid that using this talisman, the message could be delivered, but his identity would be easily exposed.
The best way is to ask Gu for help and be a courier again.
As long as the omniscient and omnipotent Lord has not come, the members of the School of Life here will never be able to detect this matter!
Compared to when he first met Su Mu, the current drum has recovered a lot in strength.
When the drum first descended, it would be noticed by demigod-level masters like Qing Lao and Wen Wubin. But now, it won't happen anymore.
Lei Zhenzi handed Su Mu and others over to the management of the accommodation area.
"This is where you will live. You will all live here until the sacrifice is completed. Of course, you can move around. You can go anywhere except the most central research institute."
After thanking Lei Zhenzi, Su Mu and others followed the management staff into the accommodation area and were each assigned a temporary residence.
Although the area is not large, it is a single room.
The manager briefly explained to them the rules here, such as "Do not conduct experiments in the room", "Do not quarrel or fight with others", etc.
Su Mu was very curious. What had happened here that led to the rule prohibiting experiments?
Are you tearing down the house like me?
After entering the room, Su Mu did not look around.
He is still Kuimulang’s character now, and cannot do anything that goes against his character.
But even without checking, with his strong insight, Su Mu still discovered that there were several hidden surveillance cameras in this room.
"My goodness, they monitor even eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping? Is the Life School planning to follow the tragic incident in the Korean entertainment industry?"
Su Mu snorted coldly in his heart.
There was no sign of it on his face, and he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he took out the Peace Sutra that the elder had given him and started to read it.
After reading it, Su Mu found that this scripture might be helpful to the members of the School of Life, but at the same time, it was also a magical tool with brainwashing and monitoring effects.
If we don't destroy it, we will be affected and monitored all the time.
But if you destroy it, the elders will notice it immediately.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Mu suppressed the urge to dismantle it for research.
Su Mu hid himself by reading a book, thinking quickly: "There are too many surveillance here. If I take out the gourd given by Gu, I will be discovered immediately. Even if the people of the School of Life don't know the purpose of the gourd, they will be suspicious. The best way is to use the clone to take the gourd and go somewhere else to contact the school. And my real body will stay here and continue to be monitored..."
The surveillance systems that the School of Life Science had painstakingly set up had not yet discovered Su Mu's flaws. Instead, Su Mu had taken advantage of them first.
If they knew about this, I wonder what kind of expressions they would have?
After Su Mu came up with an idea, he didn't waste any time and took action immediately.
Soon, his clone appeared in his shadow with the help of the [Shadow Lord].
Su Mu stood up and pushed open the window. His clone hiding in the shadow immediately took this opportunity to slip into the shadow of other things outside the window and flew away.
Sumu, who had read Mahoraga's memories, was very familiar with the small secret realm. He controlled his clone and quickly came to a place with relatively weak surveillance. He hid in a cabinet and then took out the gourd from the storage magic tool.
Even when communicating with Gu, Su Mu did not let his clone leave the shadow.
But the gourd given by Gu Ge emerged from the shadow.
Fortunately, it was inside the cabinet and no one saw it, nor was it discovered by the patrolling eye monster.
Gu, on the other hand, was a little surprised: "Hey, why are you hiding in the shadows? Are you playing hide-and-seek with others?"
"It's a special situation, so I have to be cautious."
Su Mu briefly told Gu about his environment and experiences.
Then, he talked about Ye Xian's situation and made a list of information based on Mahoraga's memory.
The people on this list are all members of the School of Life who came to the small secret realm a few days ago and are preparing to participate in the next sacrificial ceremony.
If Ye Xianzhen was captured by the School of Life Studies, Su Mu would definitely have to find a way to rescue her, but he couldn't expose himself, so he planned to choose an identity from among these people to impersonate.
That way, even if something went wrong with the rescue operation, he wouldn't be exposed.
But he didn't want to hurt his own people by mistake, so he reported the list to the school.
"Send a message back to Qingcheng Mountain for me and ask about Teacher Ye Xian's situation. Also ask them to check if there are any of our undercover agents among this group of people. Tell them to reply as soon as possible. I'm waiting online. It's urgent."
"no problem."
For the sake of money and wine, Gu's attitude was very positive.
Over in Qingcheng Mountain, after receiving the news from Su Mu, Ouyang and Tu Shansong knew the situation was urgent and did not dare to delay, so they immediately went to find Qing Lao to report.
Elder Qing used his authority to obtain the relevant information at the first possible moment and asked Ouyang and Tu Shansong to pass it back to Su Mu immediately.
According to Mr. Qing's reply, Ye Xian did carry out the undercover plan.
After receiving the news from Su Mu, Qingcheng Mountain activated emergency contact methods, but was unable to contact Ye Xian at all.
Qing Lao and the others judged that there was a high chance that Ye Xian was exposed and in danger.
However, Qing Lao and the others were unable to confirm whether Ye Xian, who was hung and tortured in the small secret realm, was real or fake, or whether she was a bait.
However, in his reply, Elder Qing taught Su Mu a set of spiritual power ripples and hand gestures to determine his identity.
Only Ye Xian and her contacts know this method of identity verification.
Regarding the list given by Sumu, Qing Lao not only checked the undercover sent by Qingcheng Mountain, but also informed the police and sister colleges to make sure that their people were not on the list.
"It's easier without an undercover agent."
Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to immediately verify Ye Xian's identity and wait for an opportunity to rescue her.
The reason why Su Mu chose to take action now was after careful consideration.
At first glance, if you take action today, it will easily draw suspicion towards yourself.
Because today, they were the only group of people coming in from outside.
As for the contact persons such as 'Mahoraga', they were all sent out from here. They are very loyal and will not be easily suspected.
But looking at it from another perspective, taking action now is a great opportunity for Su Mu.
First of all, he has a clone, so he can expose his real body to the surveillance of the School of Life at all times and let the clone transform into someone else to act.
This way, even if he was suspected, he would have enough alibi.
Secondly, although Sumu entered this small secret realm for the first time, through Mahoraga’s memory, he was very familiar with the environment, routes, and even the patrol tracks of the eye monster.
If the operation fails, he can use it to shake off the pursuers and also clear himself of suspicion.
After all, it is impossible for a team of people who have just arrived to have a complete grasp of the situation in the small secret realm.
"I'll need you to do me another favor later." Su Mu's clone said to Hulu in the shadow.
Gu was still straightforward: "As long as you give enough money and spirit wine, everything will be fine."
This is exactly what Su Mu wanted to hear.
He immediately controlled his clone, put the gourd into the storage device, and traveled through the shadow back to the accommodation area.
Those members of the School of Life who had come to the small secret realm earlier and were preparing to participate in the sacrificial ceremony also lived here.
Su Mu controlled his clone hidden in the shadows, quickly shuttling between rooms, looking for a suitable target to impersonate.
Soon, he found a good candidate.
This man is called Ruan Jingtian, and he is from Annan.
Just by looking at his name, you can tell that he is definitely not ordinary.
According to the information obtained from Mahoraga's memory, Ruan Jingtian integrated the genes of the chameleon and mastered the ability of mimicry, which allows him to perfectly blend in with the surrounding environment, thus achieving the effect of 'invisibility'.
This is very similar to the effect of an invisibility cloak, so for Su Mu, impersonating Ruan Jingtian is the perfect choice.
He immediately controlled his clone, hid in a corner where it was difficult to be discovered, took out the gourd, and called for the drum:
“Let’s do it!”
