Chapter 2314 Intelligence on the King's Bomb
But a strange thing happened in her palm:
The bead suddenly opened and transformed into a strange creature that, at first glance, resembled a thousand-legged creature, but had long tentacles at both its head and tail.
It had been dormant, but was awakened by the blood energy, and then bit Mei Wu Niang's fingertip.
It hurts. But her expression remained normal.
Her job is really tough; she often suffers workplace injuries.
But after the pain subsided, she began to experience hallucinations.
The scene includes Du Yun, Lu Yongyan, Xiao Yu, and other characters, but they are all alive and can all speak.
Aunt Zeng was the only one missing.
Because this is Aunt Zeng's perspective!
What Mei Wu Niang is watching now is a fragment of Aunt Zeng's memory before her death.
It is said that when a person dies, it is like a lamp going out, and only the dead can keep secrets.
In fact, under certain circumstances, even the dead cannot keep secrets—especially the newly deceased.
The gods took away Aunt Zeng's soul immediately after her death, demonstrating remarkable meticulousness by not only killing her but also collecting her soul.
But Cang Yan still taught Mei Wu Niang a special method that allowed her to squeeze the last bit of value out of the newly deceased!
That is the Bewitching Insect Puppet.
The Bewitching Insect has appeared in the Battle of Yuheng City in the Panlong World, as well as in the Battle of the Upside-Down Sea and the Dragon God War in reality. It can not only control the host's actions, but it can even continue to manipulate the body for up to 15 minutes after the host's death.
During his research, Dong Rui made an exclusive discovery: when the Heart-Bewitching Worm accesses the victim's brain center, it can also read the host's short-term memory, ranging from a dozen breaths to a quarter of an hour ago. This greatly facilitates its ability to simulate a living person and play role-playing games.
But the first thing He Lingchuan thought of after hearing about this special talent was to "reveal the secret of being silenced!"
Many people are silenced immediately after learning secrets they shouldn't know. But He Lingchuan knew very well that even if the soul is gone, the brain may still be active for a quarter to half an hour before death, storing the last bit of what one saw and heard before death—as long as it is not destroyed.
If we could use the Mind-Bewitch on these people in time, would it be possible to extract these secrets and avoid being taken to the grave by them?
After receiving the mission from the Great Emperor, Dong Rui followed this line of thought and spent five years creating a new demon puppet using the Bewitching Heart Worm, codenamed 102.
Considering its likely use in espionage operations, Dong Rui, after dozens of improvements, crafted the Bewitching Heart Worm puppet into the shape of a pearl pill. Normally, it enters a dormant, suspended state, essentially half-dead, exhibiting no signs of life and resembling an inanimate object; it can even be stored in a storage ring. Unless broken open, no one would know it's not a pearl pill.
However, once it comes into contact with blood, it will awaken within fifty breaths and burrow into the host's body.
A few days ago, Mei Wu Niang rubbed some blood on it and then stuffed it into Aunt Zeng's nose. This was her last step in handling the body; she then got up, left, and closed the door.
The nasal cavity is connected to the brain, which is a smooth road for the Heart-Bewildering Worm.
Of course, during its activity, it no longer remains in a state of suspended animation, and if the divine sense of the gods sweeps across this area, it may still be able to discover its existence.
But if there are no living people in the secret room, why would the gods bother with such a thing? Who would be so addicted to checking on the frozen old woman every now and then?
There are risks, but they are not high.
Mei Wu Niang's job is inherently risk-free, and sometimes it also requires a bit of luck.
This time, she was lucky again; the gods never doubted her from beginning to end.
In such a vast heavenly palace, even the gods cannot focus solely on this place. Moreover, the rise of the new capital cloud envoy will draw away most of the gods' attention.
When Mei Wu Niang returned to the secret chamber and placed Aunt Zeng's body into the coffin, the Bewitching Heart Puppet had already returned to its original position and re-entered a state of suspended animation.
She originally planned to take out the insect puppet after leaving the Heavenly Palace, but now she has to risk checking the intelligence.
Knowing the intelligence details would allow her to plan her next move.
This insect puppet has already recognized her as its master, so it will not harm her, and after consuming her blood, it can share information with her.
The Heavenly Palace holds too many secrets. Aunt Zeng had served the Chief of the Capital for too long, and it was unlikely she would have a peaceful end. But Mei Wu Niang still believed that she had probably overheard something she shouldn't have. Otherwise, why would Lu Yongyan be in such a hurry to kill her to silence her? Couldn't he have spared her for a couple of days, waiting until the old Chief of the Capital's funeral was over before killing her?
Therefore, this secret is most likely extremely important, and Lu Yongyan cannot wait a moment longer; he must silence him on the spot.
At this moment, the things Aunt Zeng saw and remembered in the half hour before her death played out before Mei Wu Niang's eyes like a revolving lantern.
Du Yun, the old mastermind, was already ashen-faced, but he still revealed several secrets to Lu Yongyan. These secrets dared not be written down and could only be passed down orally.
Each one is more explosive than the last.
The most significant one made Mei Wu Niang's hand, hidden under the quilt, tighten instinctively.
The old mastermind, Du Yun, was on the verge of death at the time, and he didn't mince words, saying directly: "The most important secret of the Heavenly Palace right now is the location of the Hidden God! Listen carefully, it is hidden in the Misty Bay in the northern part of Song Kingdom! No more than five people in the mortal world know this secret, including you and me. Even if others are involved, they don't really know what they are doing."
After his death, only four people remained who knew the truth.
Mei Wu Niang's lips curled into a smile. No, there are five people now!
But she didn't expect that the Heart-Bewildering Puppet would find out such a bombshell piece of information.
Having spent so many years in the Heavenly Palace, she knew very well what demonic puppets and Qi beasts were. He Lingchuan had also explained the Heavenly Demon Plan to her in detail; this was the basic knowledge for spies. However, she had never been able to obtain a single word of information about the Hidden God Lord.
Either there are too few people in the Heavenly Palace who know the truth, or that intelligence line doesn't go through the Heavenly Palace. But as the Heavenly God's closest executor, Chief Envoy Du Yun must know the inside story.
Now, this bombshell intelligence is laid bare before Mei Wu Niang.
Only when the old and new masterminds handed over their duties, and the secret was spoken and heard by a third party, could it have a chance to be leaked. Mei Wu Niang was clever and lucky enough to seize this opportunity.
For her, this was the "secret of heaven"! Mei Wu Niang's heart pounded.
Next, she had two things to do.
First, sever the connection with the gods and send this crucial intelligence to the Nine Nether Emperor as soon as possible.
The hiding place of the Hidden God is the top secret of the Heavenly Palace. How many years has the Nine Nether Emperor been searching for it?
If he gets this information, the plan to fight the Heavenly Demon is likely to make significant progress.
Secondly, she needs to think carefully about whether she should return to the Heavenly Palace after sending out this message.
A minor bug appeared in the previous chapter: "God's Gaze" only had the connection and positioning function, but not the direct viewing function. This has now been corrected!
