Lin Xiaofan took a deep breath, suppressing the tumultuous emotions within him. There were more pressing matters to address—the cause of his father's death, the Crown Prince's collusion with the Western Region Demon Monk, and the map hidden within the feather fan.
As dawn broke, Zhuge Liang was already gently waving his feather fan in the courtyard. "My Lord, did you rest well last night?"
"I had a nightmare." Lin Xiaofan rubbed his temples. "Sir, how is the research on that map progressing?"
Zhuge Liang's expression turned grave. "The route marked on the map leads to an abandoned ancient city on the outskirts of the Western Region. It was once the stronghold of the Moro Cult."
"The Moro Cult?"
"A heretical sect that believes in 'capturing souls through sound,'" Zhuge Liang said solemnly. "Legend has it that their Requiem can manipulate people's hearts."
Lin Xiaofan narrowed his eyes. "So my father might have been..."
"Controlled mentally," Zhuge Liang nodded. "But this is merely speculation; we need more evidence."
Just then, a commotion erupted outside the courtyard. Lin Xiaofan opened the door to find several dockworkers being blocked by Fu Bing, shouting indignantly.
"What’s going on?"
"Young Master!" one dockworker fell to his knees. "We are from the Nan Cao Gang; our grain ship has been detained for three months, and our brothers are starving!"
Another dockworker pulled out a tattered ledger from his pocket. "This is the actual transportation record, showing how much grain they embezzled! But the authorities won't do anything!"
Lin Xiaofan took the ledger and casually flipped it open—rows of numbers seemed ordinary at first glance, but when he accidentally held it up to the sunlight, something strange occurred.
The ink of those numbers began to shimmer slightly in the sunlight, rearranging themselves into a series of bizarre symbols!
【Warning! Abnormal brainwave fluctuations detected, matching 89% with Moro Cult mental control frequency!】
Lin Xiaofan and Zhuge Liang exchanged glances, both gasping in shock.
"This is..."
"A musical score," Zhuge Liang's voice tightened. "And it's a fragment of the Requiem!"
That afternoon, Lin Xiaofan marched with the dockworkers straight to Yushi Tai.
"My Lord! This is irrefutable evidence of the Nan Cao Gang embezzling military provisions!" Lin Xiaofan raised the ledger high, his voice booming. "Please investigate this matter, Your Excellency!"
The crowd of onlookers grew larger, and the officials at Yushi Tai began to look increasingly uneasy. Suddenly, a group of burly men burst from the crowd and charged at Lin Xiaofan without warning!
"Watch out!" Zhuge Liang waved his fan, sending several silver needles shooting from its ribs, accurately striking down those at the front.
Lin Xiaofan quickly retreated, but there were too many opponents; he was soon surrounded.
"System! What can I use?"
【Detected that the host is in a dangerous situation, unlocking the skill 【Dialect Triple Strike】!】
Lin Xiaofan smirked, suddenly placing his hands on his hips and shouted, "You bunch of bastards! Are you pretending to be the big bad wolf here?!"
The thugs were taken aback—this insult was too down-to-earth!
"Look at your pathetic appearance!" Lin Xiaofan continued, "Your face is thicker than a city wall, and your heart is blacker than coal. Did your mother raise you on your placenta when you were born?!"
The onlookers burst into laughter, while the thugs turned pale with anger. Just then—
【Ding! Unexpectedly activated hidden mission 【Hundred Slayers】!】
【Mission Content: Publicly humiliate one hundred corrupt officials!】
【Current Progress: 3/100】
Before Lin Xiaofan could react, one of the thugs swung a punch at him! He instinctively dodged to the side, only to see Zhuge Liang flick his feather fan and knock the thug down to the ground.
