Chapter 39 Senior Year
"..."
Hei Yu pondered for a while and then made a suggestion: "You continue to stay in Bo City to investigate. After I finish my business, I will go to Bo City to meet you."
The cardinal was hiding in Bo City, and Tang Yue was obviously unable to deal with it with his current strength. Therefore, he had to come out personally to solve this matter.
"Only you, me and the old man know that Mu He is the man in blue in the trial. No fourth person must know about it." Hei Yu said seriously.
"You suspect there is a traitor in the Inquisition?" Tang Yue looked at Hei Yu in shock. It was unreasonable that only the three of them knew about such a big thing.
The only explanation is that there is a traitor within the Inquisition.
"It's better to be prepared. I'm not sure if there is a traitor." Hei Yu shook his head and replied: "However, since we can place undercover agents inside the Black Church, why can't they do the same?"
"Brother, that makes sense." Tang Yue nodded in agreement. In fact, it was not just Hei Yu, she also vaguely sensed that there was a traitor within the Inquisition.
The investigation mission of the Black Church in Bo City that she was in charge of was highly confidential, and only a few people knew about it. With her ability, even if she could not discover the identity of Mu He, the blue-clad member, she could at least discover some low-level Black Church believers.
However, her investigation in Bo has lasted for nearly two years, but has not made any substantial progress so far.
The few black-clad believers we were able to capture last time were all thanks to Xu Mu.
The only reasonable explanation was that an insider leaked the news that she was going to Bo City to investigate the Black Church.
It was precisely because of this betrayal by the insider that the Black Church was able to learn about the situation in advance and went into hiding, causing her action to fail to capture any clues.
"Zu...Zhankong, have you heard of this name? He seems to be in Bo City." Hei Yu suddenly asked this question.
"I met him once during a student training session. He is also the commander-in-chief of the military magicians in Bo City." Tang Yue asked doubtfully, "Is there something wrong with this guy?"
"He's fine." Hei Yu shook his head and said, "If you encounter any trouble during the investigation, you can go to him for help."
"Brother, do you know Zhan Kong?"
"I've dealt with him before when I was on a mission in another place. His name wasn't Zhan Kong at that time." Hei Yu said with some regret.
He had also heard about Zhan Kong's experience. It was a pity that such an outstanding person ended up with such an unfortunate life.
His magic was abolished, his lover was trapped, and he was exiled to a remote town, with no hope in sight for the rest of his life.
If he were to describe Zhan Kong's life, the only word he could describe was miserable.
"understood."
……
……
The one-month vacation ended quickly, and the third year of high school started.
"You guy, you know such important information, but you didn't tell me?" Tang Yue grabbed Xu Mu's ear and gritted her teeth in anger.
"Teacher Tang Yue, be gentle, be gentle." Xu Mu grimaced in pain.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't lie to people older than you? Why, you're older than me?"
"..."
It was the first time that Xu Mu felt that Tang Yue was so narrow-minded. How could she still remember what happened a year ago?
"Forget it." However, Tang Yue just vented for a while before letting go of her hand, and said helplessly: "It's our problem that makes you distrust us so much."
"I don't want to say this, but you did the right thing by not telling me before."
"Ah?" Xu Mu was stunned. What was going on? After a holiday, not reporting the Black Church became the right thing to do?
"It doesn't matter if I tell you." Seeing Xu Mu's confused expression, Tang Yue explained, "There is a traitor in the upper echelons of the Tribunal. If you had told me at the time and I reported it to the upper echelons, you should know what the consequences would be."
"Teacher Tang Yue, can't your Tribunal be more reliable?" Xu Mu was speechless. Fortunately, he did not make a stupid decision at that time.
"How can you talk like that?" Tang Yue glared at Xu Mu with her beautiful eyes, "If the Tribunal is unreliable, how can you still stand here?"
This guy was previously hunted by the Black Church, and he praised the Inquisition for being reliable. Now he refuses to recognize me after pulling up his pants, right?
"Does the Inquisition know that Bai Yang is also a follower of the Black Church?" Xu Mu suddenly asked.
Three question marks appeared in Tang Yue's mind. Bai Yang? The summoning military mage at Xuefeng Mountain Station? How come he is also related to the Black Church?
How much information did this guy hide?
"See, you don't even know that Bai Yang is a follower of the Black Cult, and you still say he is reliable." Xu Mu complained without hesitation.
However, he also understood that the problem was not that the Inquisition was unreliable, but that the Black Church was too cunning.
As the most powerful evil force that has been operating on a global scale for a long time, if a local inquisition could easily expose its followers, the Black Church would have been destroyed long ago.
You can underestimate the Black Vatican's hard power, but you must never underestimate the Black Vatican's ability to hide and stir up trouble.
"Tell me the truth, what else do you know?" Tang Yue looked at Xu Mu and said seriously, "Tell me everything you know."
"No more, that's all." Xu Mu spread his hands. He didn't have a drop left now.
Apart from the fact that Saran was a woman, Saran's plan was to use the Holy Spring to destroy Bo City and then cause a catastrophe in the ancient capital, and that Xinxia was Saran's daughter, he told Heiyu almost all the information he could.
I can’t say it. I’ll be beaten to death first.
Find an opportunity to say what you can.
"How do you know so much information?" Tang Yue was very confused, because Xu Mu was just a student, she didn't understand how Xu Mu knew so much important information.
"Private secret."
Xu Mu did not answer this question. Could it be that he was going to tell Tang Yue that he was a book traveler? Is this world just a novel with a bad ending but not completely bad ending?
Crazy...
"Xu Mu." Tang Yue paused, her eyes fixed on Xu Mu, "Are you the one in red?"
"Me? Red?"
"Teacher Tang Yue, I'm only 17 years old this year." Xu Mu's mouth twitched and he said with a dark face.
"I know."
"Have you ever seen an 18-year-old cardinal? Or have you ever heard of a cardinal changing his clothes?"
"No." Tang Yue shook her head.
"Then why do you think I'm in Red?" Xu Mu complained, "If I were in Red, how could I be here playing house with you guys? I would have destroyed the world long ago."
"I just said it casually." Tang Yue waved her hand and continued, "If you are really in red disguise, I can trick you out."
"But if I were in Red, you wouldn't be able to beat me, right?"
Xu Mu admired Tang Yue's courage. She suspected that he was a cardinal and dared to come out and expose it openly. Wasn't she afraid that she really was a cardinal?
"She can't beat him, but I can."
Hei Yu's voice suddenly came from behind.
Xu Mu turned around in surprise and found that Hei Yu had been standing behind him at some point, sizing him up with sharp eyes. From beginning to end, he did not notice Hei Yu's presence.
He finally understood where Tang Yue's courage came from. It seemed that it was given by Hei Yu.
"Are you going to attack the red-clothed man?" Xu Mu looked at Tang Yue again and asked in confusion.
Even the deputy chief judge came. If he hadn't wanted to attack Saran, he would have eaten the thunder seal.
"Yes." Tang Yue nodded and explained: "Mu He is the only clue that can get in touch with Hong Yi at the moment. We plan to use Mu He to trick Hong Yi out and capture her."
"Then I wish you good luck." Xu Mu nodded. Knowing that the man in red was in Bo City, there was no reason for the Inquisition not to take action.
He is just a small mid-level wizard, and all he can do is give blessings from the back. He hopes that the Inquisition can catch Saran.
"Boy, I'm afraid I'll need your help when the time comes." Hei Yu walked over, patted Xu Mu on the shoulder, and said with a gloating look on his face.
"Me?" Xu Mu pointed at himself and asked in confusion, "The Inquisition has so many super-level and high-level mages, why do they need help from a little mage like me?"
"Didn't Junior Sister just say that there is an undercover agent inside the Inquisition?" Hei Yu shrugged and said helplessly, "Before we find out who the undercover agent is, there are only four of us in the operation to capture the red-clothed man."
