Chapter 98 Long Term Mission
After saying this, the nameless killer turned his head and died.
Lin Qianren pulled the corner of his mouth, and he knew that things were not that simple and could be investigated clearly.
Immediately, Lin Qianren began to manipulate Lin Tianshi to start searching in this warehouse full of hearts. After walking around, he looked at a bunch of crystal boxes used to store the hearts, Lin Qianren did not find anything else.
He picked up one of the boxes and checked the information inside his backpack.
[Storage box: Quality - Any storage box made by special methods can ensure that the items inside it will not deteriorate.]
Isn’t this effect just an alternative refrigerator?
After sighing, Lin Qianren returned to the previous unknown killer. After thinking about it, he decided to search the body and see the situation.
After cleaning up the unknown killer's body, Lin Qianren got a broken cowhide scroll.
[Broken cowhide scroll: Quality - Fan, a broken cowhide scroll with some cipher text written on it.]
This seems to be the same cowhide scroll he obtained when he was in Jinan and Feng Yunan and others in the past when he wiped out the remnants of the Heart-Devouring Demon Sect?
Lin Qianren looked in his backpack and finally found that the broken openings of these two cowhide rolls really seemed to overlap.
So what is the cipher text on it?
Helplessly, he manipulated Lin Tianshi to walk to the street, and Lin Qianren used the guide again.
A faint golden light spot was scattered, pointing out a direction for Lin Qianren.
Lin Qianren walked forward, not far away, and came to a house.
"What's the problem here? Or where is the back of the house?" Lin Qianren was puzzled, but he chose to believe the guide, directly destroyed the door lock, and stepped into the house.
After entering, there was no more than two steps, an elderly man with white hair walked out of the house.
[Xia Zhongjing: "Youngsheng, why did you break into my house for no reason in the middle of the night? You even broke my door lock, it's outrageous!"]
Lin Qianren was stunned, as if the other party didn't seem to have anything to do with the mastermind behind him?
[Shi Shi Lin: "Mr. I am the Jinan constable. I am handling the case. I have received news before that you seem to be related to this case, so you have been reckless and offended. Please forgive me if you offend me."]
Hearing this, the old man shook his head, then looked at Master Lin Tian.
[Xia Zhongjing: "As a young man, you, as you do, even if there is a criminal, you will have heard the news and escaped. Tell me the news you have received. When I was young, I also worked as an official in the Ministry of Justice. I know a little about all kinds of clues and secret texts. If I can't say it, I can help you solve the case directly."]
Hearing Xia Zhongjing's words, Lin Qianren suddenly realized in his heart. No wonder he led him here, it turned out to be the purpose of him to parse the cipher text.
[Shi Shi Lin: "It's these two cowhide scrolls, please help me see them."]
As he said that, Lin Qianren opened his backpack, selected two cowhide rolls and handed them to Xia Zhongjing.
Xia Zhongjing took the cowhide scroll and looked at Lin Tianshi with a strange look.
[Xia Zhongjing: "Young Master, have you handed me over the things so easily? Are you afraid you didn't come to find me specifically?"]
[Shi Lin Tianshi: "Sir, don't blame me..."]
[Xia Zhongjing: "Well~~Well, let's go into the house. The cipher text on this cowhide roll is a bit complicated, and I need some time."]
As he said that, Xia Zhongjing turned around and headed into the house.
Lin Qianren manipulated Lin Tianshi to follow him and entered the room together.
In the room, Xia Zhongjing lit an oil lamp, then slowly covered it with a gauze to avoid mosquitoes. Immediately, he slowly spread two cowhide rolls on the table and took a set of pen and ink tools from the side.
He looked at the cipher text on the cowhide roll and began to grind ink and write something on the white paper.
Lin Qianren came to him and looked at the white paper. What was imprinted into his eyes were the four big words "Nine Orifices Divine Heart". In the content that was constantly analyzing, there were different place names and numbers written...
At this moment, Lin Qianren suddenly saw two familiar place names, namely Gaozhu Village and Qianshui Village in Linyang County. The corresponding numbers behind them are also consistent with the population of the two villages.
At this moment, he seemed to understand something.
After Xia Zhongjing's analysis of all the two cowhide scrolls, his expression was a bit strange.
[Xia Zhongjing: "Xengsheng, isn't this a list of household registration statistics? Why do you write the secret text on the cowhide scroll? Hey, it's not right. These places are scattered and not neat, but what are the targets? Xusheng, what case are you investigating?"]
When Lin Qianren heard Xia Zhongjing's question, he couldn't help but admire the old man's professionalism, but unfortunately, he really couldn't say this, otherwise it would be very likely that he would cause trouble to the old man.
[Master Lin Tian: "Thank you, the old man, for helping to analyze the secret text, but this matter is very important, and I am afraid I can't tell you."]
[Xia Zhongjing: "Forget it, just walk with the things. I'm old, and all I can do is this."]
As he said that, Xia Zhongjing handed the white paper on the table directly to Lin Qianren.
[System prompt: You have obtained the Nine Orifices Divine Heart List (Remember).]
Lin Qianren opened his backpack and looked at his introduction.
[Nine Orifices Divine Heart List (Remember): Quality-All, a list of some places that record the places where the Nine Orifices Divine Heart needs to obtain the heart seed.]
The two words "Nine Pavilions" really shocked Lin Qianren.
If the seven orifices of exquisite heart is used to speculate, the nine orifices of divine hearts and the heart needed by the nine orifices may have reached an unprecedented level. If the other party is really successful, then the word "Corpsy Mountains and Seas of Blood" will not exist only in imagination.
After leaving ten taels of gold on Xia Zhongjing's table as compensation for destroying the door lock, Lin Qianren manipulated Lin Tianshi and left the old man's residence without looking back.
Immediately, Lin Qianren took out the map, found directly where Jinan was, and began to let Lin Tianshi automatically find a way back.
Not long after, Master Lin returned to his hometown in Jinan.
After arriving at the government office, Lin Qianren directly found Feng Yunan.
At this time, a cutscene entered.
Feng Yunan took the list parsed from the secret text from Master Lin, his expression changed a little, and then looked at Master Lin.
[Feng Yunan: "Sir Lin Tian, this matter is quite serious. I'll go find Lord Hou together before making a decision."]
As he said that, Feng Yunan took Lin Tianshi into Hou Yan's courtyard.
When Hou Yan saw the two of them coming, he immediately said that he had already learned about this.
[Hou Yan: "I already know this, but for some reason, I cannot take action. Therefore, you have to do it to prevent the Heart-Devouring Demon Sect."]
[Feng Yun'an: "Please give me instructions."]
[Hou Yan: "There are strongholds for hiding the hearts in all counties around Jinan Prefecture. I need you to compare the locations on the list and go to remove them. As for other places, I will notify the corresponding person to solve the problem."]
[Feng Yun'an: "Subordinates obey orders."]
The cutscene ends and the system prompts will arrive in time.
[System prompt: You have completed the task [Investigate the Truth], obtained experience *1200, and obtained the map of Jinan Fuxin Base*1.]
[System prompt: Hou Yan was unable to interfere with the conspiracy of the Heart-Devouring Demon Sect for some special reasons. As his disciple, you are naturally unshirkable, so please remove all the heart-segment strongholds near Jinan Prefecture and smash their conspiracy.]
[Task Tips: This task is a long-term task. The reward of the task depends on the number of strongholds you have removed. The more you have removed, the more rewards it will be. [Current progress 050]]
The moment he saw this task, Lin Qianren became excited.
He originally thought it would be a little difficult to upgrade in a short period of time, but he didn't expect that when he was sleepy, someone handed him a pillow.
With fifty strongholds, even one hundred, Lin Qianren can still gain 5,000 experience. Isn’t it easy to upgrade?
I checked the location of the stronghold written on the map in the backpack, with fifty red dots of all sizes, completely surrounding Jinan.
Lin Qianren roughly calculated and found that even if it was calculated based on the number of strongholds in Linyang County, at least more than 100,000 people might lose their lives.
This is too exaggerated. After all, Jinan Prefecture is only one of the prefectures in Daxia. If every prefecture is arranged by the Heart-Devouring Demon Sect, the life involved will inevitably be hundreds of thousands.
Recalling the four words "Nine Orifices Divine Heart" I saw before, Lin Qianren's heart couldn't help but feel a sensation.
He has seen Linglong Xinfa and knows how many people it takes to achieve.
A rough calculation is that it is 800,000 people's hearts, but what if it is the nine orifices? Should it still be stacked upward according to the geometric index?
If so, will it be necessary to have tens of millions of people? Cutting the population of Daxia by one fifth is not necessarily enough!
Who created this kind of exercise so crazy?
Shaking his head, Lin Qianren found that his imagination was still too shallow. He thought that Linglong Mind Method was already at its limit, but he didn't expect that there was something higher in it.
Just thinking about this thing makes people shudder.
With a sigh, Lin Qianren immediately planned to set out to complete the mission. Only by quickly removing these strongholds and killing the remnants of the Demon Sect can more people be avoided from being slaughtered.
However, just as he was watching the base map, he couldn't help but be stunned.
On the map, the name of Laiyang County is in sight, and it is actually one of the targets chosen by the Demon Sect.
Laiyang County is far from Jinan Prefecture. In fact, it is not considered to be the jurisdiction of Jinan Prefecture. So why does this name appear on the map?
Lin Qianren was thinking about it, and then he roughly guessed the reason.
Chapter completed!
