Lin Wu didn't actually leave the room until the next day and went downstairs to have breakfast.
There were some people on duty in the castle. When they saw her, they immediately reported it to Qin Sheng. Not long after, Qin Sheng came in a hurry and looked at Lin Wu, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Lin Wu said: "Sort out the recent situation of the Ninth Battalion and put it in my study."
Seeing that she was finally willing to take care of it, Qin Sheng's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.
"Also, when you go find Mo Lang, tell him that I have something to talk to him about at noon." Lin Wu glanced at Qin Sheng and added, "Tell him to bring my token with him. The stuff has been with him for so long, it's time to return it to me."
Qin Sheng was stunned, nodded, reported some important miscellaneous matters, asked Lin Wu how to deal with it, and then left.
Soon, several people came to deliver documents, and left in a hurry after putting them down.
Lin Wu stretched and went upstairs to deal with some business.
Soon at noon, someone knocked on the door, reporting that Mo Lang had really arrived.
Lin Wu stretched his sore neck, then stood up and went downstairs.
Mo Lang was still standing in the lobby on the first floor, surrounded by several guards on duty, all of whom glanced at Mo Lang secretly as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Master Mo, thank you for waiting for me for a long time. Why don't you sit down first?" Lin Wu walked over.
Mo Lang said in a non-enthusiastic tone: "No need to sit down. If you have something to say, please speak up as soon as possible. I have something important to do."
Lin Wu looked at him and met his indifferent gaze.
She raised her hand.
The people around looked at each other and whispered to leave.
Lin Wu sat down, pointed at the single sofa on the side, and said: "Is Lord Mo worried that I have bad intentions towards you? Lord Mo, don't worry, I am in this state now, what can I do to you?"
Mo Lang frowned slightly, then went over and sat down.
"To make a long story short, I have already made the purpose very clear. Sir Mo, have you brought my token?" Lin Wu casually glanced at the oil painting hanging on the wall not far away.
Mo Lang was facing away from the forest, but he could still see the forest fog clearly.
He looked at her calmly, and then said calmly: "The city lord still hopes that Jiu Luosha will reflect on what he should do. When you give the city lord a satisfactory answer, you can get the token back."
“What if I haven’t reflected on it?”
"Assassin City is not short of talented people, and there are many who are suitable for the position of Nine Rakshasas."
"Is this considered as destroying the bridge? Previously, the city lord wanted me to come back."
"But the city lord just wants someone who listens to him. Everyone likes good people, right?" Mo Lang pushed back unmoved.
Lin Wu raised his eyebrows: "Okay, I'll listen. But I have to know who to listen to. The deputy city lord also wants me to listen. How about this, you tell me why the city lord is worse than the deputy city lord, and I'll listen if I think it's okay."
Mo Lang looked at her: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Lin Wu leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on his knees, and said, "Of course I know. The deputy city lord seems to be getting more and more powerful. What if I help the city lord to lose and he is finished? Don't pretend. I sent the others away just to make things clear."
Mo Lang's expression darkened slightly. "What do you want to know?"
"Does the city lord have any backup plan? For example, are all those people who disappeared in Killer City over the years with the city lord?" Lin Wu asked very directly, making Mo Lang choke.
Mo Lang looked around vigilantly.
Lin Wu said lazily: "No need to look, Fan is not here."
Mo Lang: “…I don’t know what you are talking about.”
"Really?"
"certainly."
"Okay, look me in the eyes."
Mo Lang looked up subconsciously.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in Lin Wu's eyes.
Mo Lang immediately realized that something was wrong and shrank back, but it was too late. His body froze and he could not move.
Lin Wu leaned back slowly and asked, "Who am I?"
"Dark...dark voice..."
Mo Lang replied slowly.
"OK, answer whatever I ask truthfully from now on. Afterwards, you won't remember what you said." Lin Wu snapped his fingers and saw Mo Lang's body shaking reflexively.
She clicked her tongue, "Does the city lord have a private army?"
“No…no…”
"? Really not?"
Lin Wu was really surprised.
Mo Lang nodded slowly and said, "The city lord's men are basically... those who are guarding the Ice Prison... the rest have been... sent away."
"Where was it sent?"
"Ice Prison..."
"What are they sending there for?"
"I don't know. The city lord doesn't allow us to explore the things in the ice prison..."
"Is the city lord on the island now?"
“No.”
"Ice Prison..."
Lin Wu thought for a moment and said bluntly: "Has the city lord ever mentioned the control to you?"
"No, the city lord doesn't allow us to investigate further..."
"How is the city lord's health now?"
"Very... bad..."
Lin Wu couldn't help but sit up straight and asked, "Why is it not good?"
Mo Lang shook his head stiffly: "I don't know. I have never met the city lord. I only know a rough idea, and he never mentioned it."
Lin Wu rolled his eyes and asked, "When will the city lord come back?"
"The day after tomorrow, early in the morning..."
"One last question—"
Lin Wu stood up and squatted in front of Mo Lang, holding his hand, staring at him and asked: "Where is the City Lord's Order?"
"In...the city lord's..."
Mo Lang spoke obediently, but seemed to realize that something was wrong with him. While he was still talking about the important things, his whole body trembled a few times, as if he was struggling in pain.
Lin Wu grabbed his collar, pulled him closer to him, and asked, "Where is it?!"
"In the secret...secret room on the third floor of the city lord's residence..."
As the last word fell, Mo Lang suddenly woke up, his face changed when he saw the scene in front of him, and he pushed Lin Wu away fiercely.
Lin Wu staggered backwards and fell into the gap between the sofa and the coffee table.
From Mo Lang's perspective, he saw that Lin Wu seemed to have fallen hard and was in pain, and he didn't move for a long time.
He stood up suddenly: "What's your intention in doing that?!"
Lin Wu took a deep breath, propped himself up on the sofa and sat down, then said calmly, "Isn't it obvious? I chose the deputy city lord."
"you……"
Before Mo Lang could finish his words, several footsteps were heard at the door.
He turned around immediately and saw more than a dozen fully armed men in black rushing in.
Mo Lang drew his gun reflexively.
But the next moment his face suddenly looked a little ugly.
He just shook the gun and pulled out the bullet barrel, and it was empty.
"How could it be..." Mo Lang thought of something and couldn't believe it: "It was Ling Xiu. Before I came here, she was the only one who touched her..."
Mo Lang reacted quickly and turned around to attack Lin Wu and hold her hostage.
Lin Wu leaned on the back of the sofa and flipped over first, putting some distance between himself and Mo Lang.
The people who came in also rushed up and took down Mo Lang.
Mo Lang glared at Lin Wu: "Are you worthy of the city lord's trust in you?!"
Lin Wu shrugged, "Goodbye, I won't see you off."
Those people knocked Mo Lang unconscious, tied him up and took him away.
Lin Wu went back and sat down. After a while, another person came in from outside. It was Fan.
Lin Wu didn't look kind to him: "When it comes to electronic equipment, I'm better than you. Do you think I can't find the camera? If you don't trust me, why do you ask me to do something?"
Fan waved his hand, and someone else came in and took the painting away.
He walked over and sat down next to Lin Wu.
Lin Wu immediately moved to the single sofa.
Fan Dang didn't see it and said, "It's just a safety measure. Look, when he was about to attack you, didn't someone come in in time?"
Lin Wu: “Heh.”
Fan pretended not to hear and said, "I have found Ling Xiu and checked with her. She also said that the city lord has no additional armed forces and the position of the city lord order is consistent. But do you believe it?"
Lin Wu supported his head with his hands and said gloomily, "Are you doubting my hypnosis skills? If you doubt it, go away and ask someone else."
Fan said, "I am asking you something serious."
Lin Wu paused, put down his hand, and looked at him: "Why don't you believe it? From the diary of the late San Luosha, I saw that the Ice Prison needs a large number of manpower. So many people were not enough back then, so how can the few people in the past few years be enough? It's normal to think about it. As for the city lord's order for you to send people to look for it yourself, you will know."
Fan looked at her, said nothing, and got up and left.
When he left, Lin Wu suddenly said, "I want Ling Xiu."
The man stopped and looked back at her.
Lin Wu said expressionlessly, "Before tomorrow night, you replace the people outside the Ice Prison. I will go in, and Ling Xiu must follow me. I don't want to deal with anything that happens before entering the eighteenth floor. Let her handle it. Don't waste my energy."
"Then I can find other elites, a few more, for you to use. They will be more useful than her." Fan said.
Lin Wu: "Of course I have no objection to having more people. But -" She looked at him, "I am a petty person. She lied to me and concealed the truth from me. I am unhappy and I still have to vent my anger. Why, it's just such a small request, and you won't agree? Let me die, are you so insincere?"
The man looked at her deeply and smiled, "Okay, I'll do it for you."
