Dugu Changshan was terrified!
He stared in disbelief at the scene before him: two corpses lay in pools of blood, and the murderer was calmly wiping the blood off his Tang sword.
Su Lin looked serious, like a butcher quietly wiping his tools after slaughtering livestock.
After wiping the Tang sword, Su Lin took out the [Corpse Dissolving Water]. There was still some of these left over from last time, which came in handy.
Use the corpse-dissolving liquid to wipe away the traces at the scene, then tidy yourself up, take out consumable items to wipe away the bloodstains, and crush some medicine powder to apply to your body to cover up the smell of blood.
Of course, Su Lin also searched both corpses carefully.
Unfortunately, there were no cheat codes, only some loose silver, pills and other miscellaneous items, nothing was displayed as game item information.
Su Lin simply destroyed everything, leaving nothing behind.
After doing all this, Su Lin got up, satisfied.
His methods were exceptionally skillful, unlike anything a righteous person would be proficient in.
"You...you really are a spy?"
Dugu Changshan muttered to himself, almost stuttering.
His worldview was severely shaken at this moment, and he could hardly believe what was happening before his eyes!
This world is crazy!
Su Qingyang's son is actually a cultist!
"I told you, but you didn't believe me just now."
Xiao Linlin sighed beside her, wrinkling her little nose and looking helpless like a little adult: "Really, where is the most basic trust between people?"
Dugu Changshan was speechless.
He couldn't believe it, but the facts were right in front of him. Apart from the "undercover agent" theory, there was no other way to explain Su Lin's murder!
"You...are you really one of us?"
Dugu Changshan raised his head, looking at Su Lin with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, trying to accept this "fact".
"certainly!"
Xiao Linlin interrupted his train of thought and pressed her advantage, saying, "The facts are right before our eyes, and facts speak louder than words! Look, we risked exposing our identities to come see you!"
"But...why would Su Qingyang's son be a spy? Didn't he know that?"
Dugu Changshan ignored Xiao Linlin. His thoughts seemed to have reached a dead end. He muttered to himself, "This shouldn't be... His own son is a spy, and he didn't even know? The entire Sword Pavilion didn't know?"
This is so unreasonable!
Xiao Linlin narrowed her eyes slightly and gently reminded her from the side, "Of course, this is very unreasonable. What kind of identity does Su Qingyang have? What could possibly be hidden from him?"
"That's right, he's a gentleman among swordsmen, possessing both wisdom and courage! How could he possibly be kept in the dark... What!!"
Dugu Changshan's eyes widened instantly, as if he had realized a terrifying secret: "You mean...!"
He stared intently at the little girl, who smiled back at him and gestured with her hand: "Say whatever you want to say, we can talk about anything."
"Su Qingyang..."
Dugu Changshan took a deep breath and spoke through gritted teeth, each word distinct: "...He was also a spy! No! He was originally a righteous person, but for some reason, he secretly betrayed the Sword Pavilion! That's why his son is like this!"
"With his father as his backer, the son can hide himself more deeply and ensure that no one in Jian Ge knows about him!"
The "ultimate secret" that Dugu Changshan spoke of made Su Lin clench his fists.
damn it!
That's ridiculous!
What's wrong with your brain? How could you come up with something like that?
A prominent figure from a righteous sect, hailed as the leader of righteous sword cultivators, actually abandoned the light and turned to darkness.
Why give up a promising future to become an undercover agent? Or an undercover agent for the evil side?
Listen to this, is this reasonable?
But Dugu Changshan just thought it made perfect sense!
After all, that's the kind of person he is, and Su Lin's behavior is right in front of him.
Most importantly, all these analyses of Su Qingyang were based on Dugu Changshan's own associations, and were not said by Xiao Linlin on her own initiative.
Xiao Linlin was merely hinting that he should say these things, making him mistakenly believe that he had discovered the "truth".
This is a weakness of human nature: people will only believe what they guess, and are likely to subjectively believe that what they guess is true!
Even if some details are illogical, they will be filled in and repaired by the mind, and the mind will find a reasonable explanation.
"Alright, you don't have much time left to think."
Xiao Linlin suddenly clapped her hands, forcefully interrupting Dugu Changshan's thoughts and diverting his attention with something more important: "You should think carefully about how to escape!"
She wouldn't let Dugu Changshan think too much; she needed to make him firmly accept the idea of being a "spy."
As expected, Dugu Changshan stopped thinking and frowned as he looked at Xiao Linlin: "How do you plan to help me?"
"Help you? Don't joke around, we have our own missions too."
Xiao Linlin shook her head and said with a smile, "Meeting you now is nothing more than lending you a hand, at most helping you cover up for a while... Don't you have any way to escape yourself?"
That makes sense. Why would a spy of that caliber take such a risk?
Dugu Changshan took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "I naturally have a way. They have already gone out to lure away the experts. I just need to wait here until it gets dark, and someone will come to pick me up then."
"Alright, we'll do our best to cover for you."
Xiao Linlin nodded, then pulled Su Lin's arm and started to walk out: "You stay here by yourself, be careful, and remember not to talk nonsense to others, so you don't end up pleasing neither side."
"I understand."
Dugu Changshan nodded. Watching the two figures turn away, he couldn't help but ask, "You...you really didn't come to ask me about the [Peace Stone]?"
