Lin Mengya’s sensitive sense of smell and advanced radar system were more useful than her nose and eyes.

She moved toward the direction, where the smell got increasingly strong, in the courtyard without meeting any obstacle.

Zhou Ling followed her, intending to see what ridiculous thing she was going to do, but Zhou Ling was astonished to find that she seemed to have another pair of eyes that enabled her to dodge all kinds of obstacles easily.

However, it was not because she had an extraordinary capability, but because the Shen Nung System turned everything around her transparent in her mind.

At this moment, no one knew everything here better than she did.

Finally, she, who had been searching around the courtyard, stopped in front of an inconspicuous room.

Lin Mengya suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the half-closed room.

“What’s wrong?” Zhou Ling asked.

She, who had been shocked by what Lin Mengya had done in succession, immediately walked up to Lin Mengya.

Then she looked vigilantly into the dark room with a particularly serious look in her eyes.

“Commander Zhou, can you go out and borrow a torch?” Lin Mengya turned around and said seriously.

At the thought that something serious had happened, Zhou Ling immediately nodded solemnly and walked out.

What a sincere and straightforward person. Lin Mengya watched Zhou Ling walk out, revealing an appreciative smile.

After reaching out to push open the door of the room, Lin Mengya sniffed hard. Yes, the smell came from here, and it seemed to be stronger.

The moonlight could not completely penetrate the darkness in the room. Standing at the door and, she could only see the things inside vaguely.

But a more unexpected thing was that there was a bell-shaped white flower that was shining with silver glimmers and particularly eye-catching in the dark room.

The alarm of the Shen Nung system sounded loudly, warning her that the pollen floating in the air had a very strong paralyzing effect.

Even an elephant could be paralyzed by such a flower in a minute.

Fortunately, she was almost immune to this kind of thing.

Before Zhou Ling came back, Lin Mengya approached the flower step by step.

The moment she touched the flower, even she felt slight numbness in her skin.

Lin Mengya drew a handkerchief out of her clothes, meticulously plucked the flower and put it in her bosom.

After making sure that no one would be paralyzed after coming here, she got out of the room.

At this moment, Zhou Ling had just returned.

The torch in her hand was blazing fiercely, but it gave out a much fainter smell of pine oil.

Lin Mengya involuntarily admired her. It seemed that Commander Zhou, who was capable of getting this position, had her redeeming feature.

“Miss, I got the torch,” Zhou Ling said and gave the torch to Lin Mengya without hesitation.

In front of Lin Mengya, Zhou Ling unconsciously followed her lead.

Lin Mengya thanked her, and then got in the room with the torch.

The room looked neat and tidy, and there seemed to be nothing suspicious about it.

However, the vase on the table seemed a little prominent after the flower was plucked by Lin Mengya.

“Commander, look, what is this?” As Lin Mengya said, she deliberately took the flowering branch out of the vase.

The flowering branch was not very long with its bottom drenched.

Without the fresh flower plucked by Lin Mengya used for comparison, it would be difficult for ordinary people to guess what it was.

“Isn’t this just a lily of the valley? Did you just find a flower?” Zhou Ling said.

She, who had enjoyed practicing martial arts since her childhood, naturally could not recognize the flower.

Lin Mengya’s action dispelled the little bit of respect Zhou Ling just had for her.

However, Lin Mengya was not angry at all, just held it in her hand and put it in front of Zhou Ling.

Then she said, “Commander, please take a closer look. How could a normal lily of the valley have such a big bud? And its fragrance can be fatal.”

Although the most fatal pollen had been removed with the flower, the smell of the flower still lingered.

Hearing Lin Mengya’s words, Zhou Ling frowned.

How could there be a flower as evil as she described?

But seeing Lin Mengya say with certainty, Zhou Ling did not think she was joking.

Half-believing and half-doubting, Zhou Ling took the flowering branch from Lin Mengya and was suddenly shocked.

It was a withered flowering branch, but why did she feel numbness in her skin and almost fail to hold the flowering branch Lin Mengya handed to her?

“What the hell is this? Why does it do this to me?” Zhou Ling asked.

This was the first time that she had seen something so bizarre.

Lin Mengya smiled apologetically and took the flowering branch from her.

She forgot that although she was immune to its paralyzing effect, it was still harmful to ordinary people.

She said, “Don’t worry, Command. It’s the Numb Vine Lily, a very rare strong anesthetic drug. Normally speaking, the anesthetic this flowering branch contains is enough to kill the four palace maids outside quietly.”

Lin Mengya was sure that the four female corpses lying in the yard outside were the four mysterious women whom she saw cut off their wrists and let blood from themselves in the abandoned palace.

The drug was extremely powerful so that it could make them peel off their skin and tear apart their bone without feeling any pain, not to mention cut off their wrists.

But if that was the case, they couldn’t even control their blinking and breathing, let alone movements.

Why were they still able to get in and out of the palace freely?

“Ah! The corpses come back to life! Help!” There suddenly came a scream from the yard.

Zhou Ling took the lead in running to the inner courtyard, only to see an extremely horrifying scene.

The four hideous corpses “stood up” straight from the ground.

The people around were all scared out of their wits and completely forgot to resist.

By the time Lin Mengya came after Zhou Ling, she saw four corpses walking towards the door of the courtyard in a tremendously weird position.

No, the corpses were not moving on their own, but…

“Commander Zhou, sway your sword in that direction,” Lin Mengya patted Zhou Ling and said composedly in a low voice under her astonished gaze.

Despite her puzzlement, Zhou Ling drew her long sword and threw it in the direction Lin Mengya was pointing.

With a cracking sound, something fell to the ground. Followed by a sound that seemed to be caused by a steel wire breaking, the four corpses fell to the ground with a crash.

All the others stared at the four corpses in shock, and few of them noticed Zhou Ling’s and Lin Mengya’s expressions.

“This is…” Zhou Ling said.

Lin Mengya made a gesture of silence by secretly putting her finger in front of her lips.

Sure enough, this explained why the four of them appeared in the abandoned palace.

Zhou Ling immediately understood what Lin Mengya meant. After giving Lin Mengya a subtle nod, she instructed her subordinates, who were frightened terribly, to deal with the four corpses.

Lin Mengya quietly went to the place, where Zhou Ling had thrown her sword, when no one noticed it.

This was a corner where little moonlight could shine.

However, Lin Mengya could see clearly that the thing falling on the ground should be a kind of mechanism.

She reached out to touch it and felt it was cold and wet, and then she involuntarily sneered.

It turned out that the mechanism was made of ice. Even if she got it, it would be useless.

She got no clue at all, and it would melt in a while.

Moreover, it was very easy to make this kind of ice mechanism. One just needed to find a suitable mold and pour some water into it.

Anyway, she had kept its appearance in mind. The only thing she could do was to start the investigation with this mold.

The corpses were placed properly again. After she cooperated with Lin Mengya just now, Zhou Ling realized the trick was played by humans rather than ghosts.

After realizing this, she adopted an attitude much more steadfast and prudent than that of the others.

At the sight that Lin Mengya had retrieved her sword, Zhou Ling could not help asking in a low voice, “How is it going? Did you find any clues?”

Lin Mengya smiled helplessly and answered, “I got no clue at all.”.

“But didn’t I cut something? How could…” Zhou Ling asked.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Lin Mengya explained, “It’s made of ice. Even if we get it, it will be useless. Didn’t you find the corpses were tied with nothing, did you?”

Zhou Ling nodded, and Lin Mengya looked at the dark night with a gentle smile.

Lin Mengya said, “Just after you hit that thing, I heard a few very subtle sounds of wings flapping. I think those startled birds have taken the wires away. Now we can’t find any clues. Except for the traces left on the corpses by the wires used to tie them, all the other evidence has gone.”

Although she was a little reluctant to admit it, the wire puller played a perfect trick this time.

All the evidence disappeared automatically. Although there were some traces left on the corpses, as the tool used to tie the corpses was gone, they got nothing to compare with the traces.

Besides, Lin Mengya had no idea how the wire puller made the birds fly away without alerting her.

This time, she could only admit defeat for the time being.

“In response to Commander, we found no new traces on the corpses!” One of Zhou Ling’s subordinates reported.

Hearing this, the two of them, who were angry inwardly, got even more furious.

“How is that possible? Did you check them properly?” Zhou Ling turned around and loudly berated her subordinate.

Lin Mengya stared at the corpses thoughtfully.

“Stop scolding her. I’ll go and have a look.” After pleading with Zhou Ling to give her subordinate a break, Lin Mengya rolled up her sleeves and squatted down beside the corpses with the torch in her hand.

In the firelight, the strikingly beautiful woman stared composedly at the corpses with fixed attention, which somehow gave the others a strange feeling.

Lin Mengya reached out her hand to touch the wrist of a corpse.

Since her blood was mixed with the poison of the Seven Poisons Sacred Grass, at least it had been much more convenient for her to examine corpses.

Although the muscle tissue of the corpse was somewhat stiff, she could still feel the elasticity of its skin.

After using a lot of strength to press its wrist hard, Lin Mengya involuntarily felt a little strange.
