Chapter 372: Flaw

~7 min read 1,383 words

In fact, the activation of the Eye of Truth only takes a single moment.

No matter how many layers of protection there are in the steward's courtyard, no matter how many layers are stacked.

In the eyes of the current Qin Feng, those obstacles do not exist.

Right in the straight line within his field of vision,

he easily saw a badge emitting black smoke.

Moreover, the shape of this badge, although it is no different from other badges,

the patterns on it seem to be different.

But Qin Feng knows nothing about the patterns on these badges and has no understanding of them.

So he can only distinguish that the patterns on this badge are not the same as those on other Shadow Walkers' badges.

But he cannot say exactly what the difference is.

This difference should not just be a few small fine lines changing positions.

Moreover, the black mist on this badge is obviously twice as much as on other badges.

Qin Feng feels that this steward is very likely the leader of the spies.

Otherwise, why are everyone else's badges the same, but his alone is different?

And it has more black smoke than others.

If he is a small leader, this is easy to explain.

And through this point, Qin Feng also guesses

that this badge, besides proving they are members of the same organization, should also have the function of distinguishing rank.

Members of that mysterious force with different identities and different levels will carry different badges.

"I saw it, it is indeed in this courtyard."

"But one point is very important."

"Although we often wander around various scenic spots in the mansion and drink tea and eat snacks in the high pavilion,"

"but after all, this is a special period, and the steward already knows that I have played an important role in capturing the spies."

"I just don't know how much he knows."

"So, seeing us sitting so close to his courtyard, he should be alert."

"If he is a bit cautious, he is very likely to transfer the badge directly."

"So, if we set off now to tell the City Lord, I am afraid that during this blank period, the steward will take advantage of our absence and ignorance to transfer the badge."

"In that case, it will end up with us slandering him."

"By then, not only will we be unable to defend ourselves, but I am afraid the City Lord will find it hard to suspect him again."

"Therefore, I will continue to watch here to prevent the badge from being moved, and you go immediately to tell the City Lord about this."

Qin Feng only took a few seconds to determine the location of the badge and immediately closed the Eye of Truth.

After all, the Eye of Truth is still very precious.

In this operation, he actually only used half the time of the Eye of Truth.

It is truly gratifying.

And this activity is almost over; he does not want to use the remaining time of the Eye of Truth casually.

That would be too wasteful.

Perhaps he will have use for the Eye of Truth in the future.

"Okay, I will go tell Father, you keep watch here."

"However, there is one point you are probably wrong about."

"Father, as the City Lord, usually acts without so many concerns, after all, there is no one above him to suppress him. So I understand his personality clearly."

"What you said, that it will be difficult for Father to suspect the steward in the future, will not happen."

"Even if the steward successfully transfers the badge this time and makes us come up empty-handed,"

"but because you and I reported the steward together, Father will inevitably not only not stop suspecting the steward who successfully escaped, but will be very suspicious of him. He might even monitor him everywhere."

"Father has always been a suspicious person, so I have never dared to reveal anything that shouldn't be revealed in front of him."

"You had better not be too casual either."

"Although I don't know who you are, as the saying goes, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down."

"Being different from everyone else makes it easy to be treated as an alien. Aliens, naturally, should be burned."

Qin Feng is different from everyone here; Lin An sees it clearly and plainly.

Although Qin Feng almost never interacts with others in the City Lord's Mansion, so others basically can't tell,

but Qin Feng has never had the slightest intention to cover it up.

So, Lin An is very worried that Qin Feng's problem will be discovered by the City Lord, and the City Lord might be detrimental to him.

Regarding this point, if Qin Feng knew Lin An's thoughts, he would probably just cry out that he was wronged.

He is actually trying very hard to hide the difference between himself and the people of this world.

But after all, he knows almost nothing about this world.

So, even if he wants to hide it, he hasn't been able to hide it that well.

This is not a problem of personal ability, but truly a problem of information disparity.

"I understand, thank you."

Qin Feng nodded and thanked Lin An with a natural expression.

From his reaction, Lin An could not tell if Qin Feng had taken this matter to heart.

But since the words were already said, she did not say more, but nodded and immediately left the small pavilion.

In fact, regarding Lin An's words just now, Qin Feng's inner reaction was not as calm as he appeared.

Instead, his heart had long since exploded.

Although he knew that, knowing nothing about this world, he might not be able to disguise himself perfectly,

he did not expect that in Lin An's eyes, he would appear to have no disguise at all.

That proves that his disguise, to the original residents of this real world, should be useless.

This made Qin Feng immediately decide that from today on, he must minimize contact and communication with the people in this City Lord's Mansion.

After this matter is over and his tasks are completed, he will immediately leave the City Lord's Mansion.

Integrate into the ordinary residents of the real world.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the sense of disharmony on him should not be so heavy.

And hiding in the crowd is also the safest.

Great hermits hide in the city; one must believe in the wisdom of the ancestors.

Lin An's actions were still very swift.

And the steward might have happened to have something to do, so he never returned.

Things went unexpectedly smoothly.

When the City Lord led people to kick open the courtyard where the steward lived and entered the room where the steward lived under Qin Feng's guidance,

no one could react in time.

Including the steward who was sent out to do things and had not yet returned to the courtyard.

"Next, I will leave it to little friend Qin Feng."

Although, holding the mentality of "better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go,"

the City Lord followed them and rushed into the steward's courtyard.

But he could not be sure whether the steward was a Shadow Walker, so he still had to rely on Qin Feng to find the evidence.

Qin Feng did not answer the City Lord, but walked straight toward the direction of the badge he saw.

But there was nothing there, it was empty.

"There is a secret chamber in this room, the secret chamber should be underground."

"We need to find a way to break open the door of the secret chamber, or solve the mechanism, and enter the underground."

Qin Feng did not waste any time at all.

After using one second to determine the location of the badge,

he immediately said to the City Lord.

He only cared about finding the badge, and nothing else.

Whether to break it open by force or solve the mechanism with intelligence, that is the City Lord's business.

He couldn't open it, and he wouldn't waste the energy.

"No trouble. Break open the ground directly."

Because the person to be captured is the steward.
