Gu Mu only withdrew his consciousness from the Hidden City after seeing Lu Xiaoyao and the hundred people leave.
The assassins haven't entered the Hidden City yet; they're not serving as its city management officers.
Then he needs to pay close attention to the actions of the people within the hidden city.
This hidden city, if used properly, can unleash tremendous power.
Even if it takes more time, Gu Mu will not allow any trouble to happen in Hidden City.
"There seems to be a traitor in this Prince's mansion," Gu Mu thought to himself, head bowed.
The masked men who kidnapped Little Green Tea arrived too coincidentally and silently. Gu Mu didn't believe there wasn't an inside agent in the Prince's mansion.
...However, in the original owner's memories, the Prince's mansion had always been peaceful and tranquil.
Therefore, Gu Mu was unable to distinguish who the traitor in the Prince's mansion was based on the original owner's memories.
well,
Gu Mu felt that things were too difficult for him.
If this were a male-oriented novel, given his abilities, he would likely face a blatant slap in the face, and then retaliate in kind.
What he was wearing,
It's a very basic, easy story!
This kind of light novel shouldn't have too much scheming or intrigue; it's all about enjoyment.
But he was reading a light novel written by a female reader, and he still had to go to great lengths to find the traitor in the royal palace.
Because Gu Mu had already returned to his study while he was monitoring Yincheng,
So at that moment, he instructed the servants outside the door to call Eunuch Cheng over.
Gu Mu didn't have a deep impression of the servants in the Prince's mansion, including the original owner's memories.
Only Eunuch Cheng, who died for the original owner in his previous life, shows his loyalty.
If there were an inside agent in the Prince's mansion, the least likely person to be Eunuch Cheng would be.
Eunuch Cheng entered Gu Mu's study.
Gu Mu then handed over the task of having Eunuch Cheng investigate the spies within the Prince's residence.
After all, when it comes to palace intrigue, Eunuch Cheng is more experienced.
He grew up in the palace and spent decades there.
Professional matters should be handled by professionals.
It's much better to have Eunuch Cheng investigate than for Gu Mu to do it himself.
As expected, after hearing Gu Mu's instructions, Eunuch Cheng had a thoughtful expression on his face, and then bowed: "Your Highness, this servant will certainly not fail your trust."
...
Not long after Eunuch Cheng left,
Gu Mu felt that the voice of the parchment scroll in his mind seemed to have grown a little louder.
Indeed, a long time has passed since he fell for the scroll's spell. Given the slow growth of the scroll's seductive voice in his mind, it's normal that he now feels the scroll's voice in his mind getting louder.
But this increase in size has already made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
“I can sense that the rules for making a deal with the parchment scrolls are not set by the parchment scrolls themselves, but rather resemble the will of Heaven.” Gu Mu sat in his chair, tapping the table with his hand, and calmly analyzed, “Because even the parchment scrolls must follow these rules.”
"I am currently unable to contend with the will of Heaven, so I cannot break this rule."
"So the only option is to obey and sacrifice one person for the parchment?"
Gu Mu asked to himself.
He made Shen Ling sacrifice Little Green Tea to the parchment scroll because he wanted Little Green Tea to die, but he wanted the system's 300 points even more.
That's why he deliberately guided Shen Ling to offer the little green tea as a sacrifice to the parchment scroll.
But who knows what changes will occur to the parchment scroll as more people devour it?
He could indeed imprison the parchment in the Hidden City, but as the Hidden City develops, many other people will inevitably appear.
Who can guarantee that the parchment scroll won't bewitch one of the citizens of the hidden city, and then use trade to devour the flesh and blood of even more people?
The reason Gu Mu hasn't sacrificed anyone for the parchment scroll yet is because he's worried it will grow stronger and break free of his control.
etc……?
As Gu Mu was pondering this matter, he noticed a sudden change in the seductive voice of the parchment scroll in his mind...
Upon closer listening, it seemed that the parchment scroll itself hadn't changed.
Instead, another voice entered my mind.
The voice was mechanical and monotonous, devoid of emotion.
It's like a cold, impersonal program.
"A virus has been detected in the system. The system defense program has been activated to eliminate it."
"Virus location located, prepare to eliminate it."
"Elimination progress 0100"
"Elimination progress 1100"
"Elimination progress 2100"
Good heavens? Gu Mu was stunned.
This system is amazing!
Unexpectedly, this system could also help him erase such rules of the will of Heaven.
Although the reaction was a bit slow, it only took this long to detect.
But that doesn't stop Gu Mu from praising the system: "You're still the best!"
It's like the question of whether the spear or the shield came first.
This system was born from a female-oriented novel, and at the same time, the rules for trading parchment scrolls were also born.
But two rules that are adapted to the truth of this world clash.
That will inevitably lead to conflict, with one side becoming unreasonable.
It now appears that Gu Mu's system has won, because the parchment scroll is currently being treated as an intruding virus and is being eliminated by the system.
Although the pace of this eradication is not very fast.
but,
It is also progressing steadily.
Given enough time, Gu Mu believed that the system could easily erase the seductive voice of the parchment scroll from his mind.
and……
The parchment scroll, once again imprisoned in the hidden city.
It was originally looking for new targets to manipulate.
However, when 101 people appeared in the Hidden City, Gu Mu released it from the Hidden City.
After the 101 people left, it was imprisoned in the hidden city again.
It cannot even investigate whether those 101 people agree with the rules of manipulation.
