Chapter 100 Men Who Have Read The Script Are So Confident

Chapter 100: The Confidence of a Man Who Has Read the Script

The beautiful woman's name is Xiangyi, with a tall and mature figure. Her every move exudes natural charm, showing that she knows how to care for others.

She is a local resident of Langwu County. She went out to work in her early years and returned home in prosperity after ten years, setting up this Red Sleeve Pavilion.

On the surface, this is just an ordinary working life, with a plain story and no highlights to speak of.

Behind the story, there are hidden currents, far more than just a landlady.

Profound Moon Department spreads its own intelligence network, and Xiangyi is one of its members. For many years, she has been diligent and never neglected her duties. Hu San once told Lu Bei that if there were no clues in a case, he could go to the Red Sleeve Pavilion to consult someone, referring to her.

Sure enough, when the three of them arrived at the second-floor private room, Xiangyi closed the door, put away her charming demeanor, and respectfully said, "Blackie from Langwu County, I have seen Lord Qingwei."

Looking at Xiangyi, who was bending over and showing off her career line, She Xuan frowned and took off the token hanging from her waist, handing it to Lu Bei.

"You are Blackie, then who is the White?" Lu Bei asked.

Lu Bei then hung the gold token around his teammate's waist, telling her to stay calm and not rush. With enemies all around and a chance for sacrifice, there was no need to hurry.

"The White is the temporary head catcher, Wang Shifang," Xiangyi truthfully replied.

"One light, one dark, it's reasonable," Lu Bei nodded and said, "Ding has been ordered to investigate the serial murder case in the county. It's confusing and I haven't found a breakthrough. You open the secret room, I want to check the information you have collected."

"Reporting to Lord, the information is all in Blackie's mind. If Lord doesn't know something, just ask directly."

"Just open it when I tell you to, why so much nonsense?"

"Understood, I will follow the order."

Xiangyi bowed and retreated to the wall, opening the secret door mechanism and taking out a file from the secret room.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bei showed no interest in this file. He pushed aside Xiangyi, who was blocking the entrance to the secret room, and took down a pitch-black Pogang crossbow from the wall. Then, he pulled out a red feather arrow from the quiver.

Seeing this, Xiangyi's face changed slightly. "Lord, this is the City-Breaking Arrow. Once the signal is sent up, all the undercover agents of the Profound Moon Department in Langwu County will abandon their identities and rush to the Red Sleeve Pavilion. The upper echelons will also dispatch heavy troops to Langwu County upon receiving the signal. It's a matter of great importance and should not be used lightly."

[You have been poisoned. After judgment, it is determined to be hallucinogenic. Sensory acuity is reduced, -10 to spirit and endurance.]

"You're right. This arrow is prepared for now. When else should I use it?" Lu Bei said coldly, pressing the arrow onto the crossbow.

"The city is peaceful. Using this arrow indiscriminately is equivalent to giving up the many years of layout in Langwu County..."

Seeing that Lu Bei was determined, Xiangyi was shocked and grabbed his arm, saying, "Please think twice, everything should be based on the overall situation."

As she spoke, with her plump body blocking the way, she took out a poisoned needle and stabbed it directly at Lu Bei's waist.

Kidney strike!

Bang!

Lu Bei swiftly slapped away the ambush. Before Xiang Yi could react, his five fingers clasped around her slender neck, and he comforted her, saying, "You've worked hard all these years. It was an unintentional mistake that doesn't matter much. I will speak highly of you to the higher-ups."

With that, his fingers tightened, and his thumb pressed against Xiang Yi's chin. He exerted force suddenly.

Xiang Yi's eyes rolled back, she held her breath silently, and fainted on the spot.

She Xuan was slightly stunned and asked, "What happened? Did she betray us?"

"No, it's just that the poison has taken a deep hold, just like the county magistrate and his wife. They are all unaware that they have fallen into an illusion," Lu Bei replied.

Lu Bei waved his hand, stirring up wind and thunder, and blasted a large hole in the roof of the room. Amidst the flying wood chips, the red-feathered arrows shot up into the sky, breaking through the dense fog, and then...

Nothing.

There was no movement at all, and it was unknown which lucky person would be chosen after landing.

"This is really..." Lu Bei looked at this scene with a headache and said to She Xuan, who was lost in thought beside him, "The Snake Dragon Sect regards snakes as the main focus and dragons as the supreme. They believe that a snake that has existed for a thousand years will eventually transform into a Flood Dragon. Unfortunately, the 'jiao' is an evil 'jiao,' and the dragon is a poisonous dragon. The disciples of the sect act extreme and are no different from the demonic path."

"The Snake Dragon Sect operates in secrecy and is skilled in refining poisonous insects. They prefer to poison people during heavy fog, as the poison in the fog is colorless and tasteless, making it impossible to detect. It creates illusions and makes people lose control of their bodies," Lu Bei explained.

"When cultivators sense slight toxins in their bodies, their first thought is to use their techniques to expel the poison. Little do they know that this will only accelerate the spread of the toxins. As a result, the illusions deepen, and once they think they have successfully removed the toxins and let their guard down, it becomes difficult to escape the fate of being controlled."

Lu Bei took a deep breath and said confidently, "Based on my analysis of the case, the mastermind behind this is none other than the Snake Dragon Sect."

"You analyzed it? When? Where's the evidence?" She Xuan asked, her thoughts unable to keep up with Lu Bei's sudden change of topic. She understood the style and methods of the Snake Dragon Sect, but she wondered if she had missed any steps in the analysis of the case.

"Shi Jie, it's hard for me to explain the difference in intelligence between us. Just know that the City-Breaking Arrow was destroyed, and when you look around, the whole city is filled with enemies. We're in big trouble," Lu Bei said.

Lu Bei had a hammer of evidence. Having read the script's final outcome, he relied on the perspective of a god to solve the case.

In the past, when he was slacking off at work, he stumbled upon several mission posts about the Snake Dragon Sect on the official forum. These were posts from the 2.0 version, repeatedly dug up by disgruntled players.

At that time, Wu Zhou was at war with neighboring countries, and the external battles were fierce. The hidden tumors within the country began to emerge, and everyone wanted to take advantage of the situation.

The Snake Dragon Sect was one of them. The disciples within the sect were skilled in open combat, and their abilities in scheming were even more formidable. Many players accepted the mission to exterminate the Snake Dragon Sect and hurried to the mission location, only to be poisoned instantly and betrayed, becoming cannon fodder, and being tossed around.

Because the players' experiences were so miserable, Lu Bei took pleasure in their misfortune, and the memory was still fresh in his mind. Especially for those controlled by the Snake Dragon Sect, whether they were NPCs or players, their eyes had distinctive red patterns.

A scorpion's excrement is unique. Could he be mistaken?

A man who has read the script is this confident.

She Xuan had never read the script, let alone heard of the Snake Dragon Sect. She expressed deep doubt about Lu Bei's far-fetched analysis of the case: "Since the whole city is filled with enemies, why don't we leave instead of staying here to die?"

"Wait for a cannon fodder to explore the way."

Lu Bei raised an eyebrow and then smiled: "As a member of the Profound Moon Department's Qingwei, since the case has been solved, we should follow the clues and capture the leader of the thieves. There is no reason to flee without fighting."

"Do you know where the people from the Snake Dragon Sect are hiding?"

"It's obvious, isn't it?"

Lu Bei was shocked: "No way, there can't be anyone who still doesn't know by now, right?"

She Xuan: ()

She hated this man, especially when he spoke. If only he didn't have a mouth.

Bang!

"At such a late hour, why do you need to demolish the house? If you want to go to heaven, can't you just climb out the window?"

Huang He from the Extreme Monarch Sect kicked open the door of the room, cursing as he wiped off the powder from his face. When he saw Lu Bei and She Xuan inside the room, he was momentarily stunned, amazed by She Xuan's beautiful appearance without her disguise. He instinctively straightened his messy clothes.

"Don't misunderstand, miss. I'm just a passerby who happened to see someone in trouble. I didn't spend the night here."

Suddenly realizing that the person in front of him was a thief from the Profound Moon Department, and that their factions were different, it had nothing to do with him even if a fairy descended to earth. His expression changed and he coldly said, "The people from the Profound Moon Department don't investigate cases, they come to Yinhua Lane for pleasure. Today, you're unlucky to be caught by me. I will report your dereliction of duty..."

"Oh, Aunt Xiang?"

Halfway through his sentence, Huang He saw the familiar figure of a peach-shaped backside near Lu Bei's feet, and his expression changed again.

He had been lusting after Aunt Xiang's big grinding plate for a while now, but he hadn't been able to solve it with money. He deeply regretted it. Seeing that he had finished his task and would leave Langwu County tomorrow morning, his luck turned around and heaven sent him a perfect opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty.

Capture the assailant, take the opportunity to get close to her, and maybe he wouldn't even have to spend money. This good fortune couldn't be missed.

"You two broke into someone's house and were caught red-handed. Do you have anything to say in your defense?"

After a moment of blood flowing in the wrong direction, Huang He, who was thinking with his lower head, didn't even realize that his eyelids had red lines and his face suddenly became ferocious.

The cannon fodder had arrived!

Lu Bei's mouth curled up, and with a flick of his palm, he used his internal energy to knock Huang He out of the room.

"This is unreasonable. You really dare to take action?"

Huang He was shocked and angry. Seeing Lu Bei and She Xuan jump out of the room and then flip out of the window, he watched as the two black dots quickly moved away.

On the street, the honest passersby scattered and dared not stay when they saw the thugs demolishing houses and fighting.

"Run, I want to see where you can run to."

Huang He sneered three times, raised his arm, and shouted like thunder: "All members of the Extreme Monarch Sect, come out!"

A cool breeze swept through, and after about ten breaths, seven or eight men climbed out of the second-floor window of the Red Sleeve Pavilion, holding up their pants.

Seeing this, Huang He's face twisted in anger: "You bunch of useless people, always filled with obscene thoughts, and now you've put them into action. When will you ever be as steady as me?"

...

The thick fog enveloped Langwu County in the dark night, growing thicker and thicker. Lu Bei and She Xuan flew side by side, as if transmigrating across the vast white sea. Gradually, it became difficult to distinguish the direction.

"The fog seems to be getting thicker." She Xuan followed closely beside Lu Bei.

"Yes, Langwu County is surrounded by three mountains: Dawu, Erwu, and Siwu. The fog gathers and cannot spread outward. When you hear the names of these three peaks, don't you have any thoughts?" Lu Bei spoke quickly.

"There should be another peak called Sanwu."

"You're right, Shexue, you're finally smart for once."

Lu Bei nodded in praise and then said, "If I'm not mistaken, there used to be a peak called Sanwu here. It coincides with the underground palace you mentioned earlier. The people from the Snake Dragon Sect are hiding outside Langwu County, directly across from the dock, which is also the origin of the dense fog."

The underground palace has been taken over by someone!

She Xuan caught the key word and her heart tightened.

"Speaking of which, Shexue, you were really lucky. When you sneaked into the underground palace back then, you weren't caught by the other party."

Lu Bei marveled, "When did you go there last? Tell me, so I can judge how long the Snake Dragon Sect has been operating in Langwu County."

She Xuan didn't speak, but raised two fingers.

"Two years ago?"

Lu Bei was surprised and frowned, "That's not right. According to my estimation, the Snake Dragon Sect has been operating for at least five years..."

"Twenty years ago."

She Xuan snorted, feeling sorry for her age.

"Oh, that matches."

Lu Bei smirked, "Shexue, this is confidential information. How old are you this year?"

"Heh, I'm younger than your Senior Sister Bai."
