Don't call me evil god

Chapter 687 Dolan's "Impersonation" Plan

The situation was temporarily at a stalemate.

Through years of management and cautious operations, Monger has built a defense system for himself that is as strong as a solid wall.

evidence?

There is no evidence at all!
Strictly speaking, all clues can only be regarded as "speculations", and speculations cannot be used directly as evidence.

The capital prospers because of order, but is also confined by order and bound by it.

Even the king couldn't get around it.

Without any solid evidence, they rashly arrested people on the grounds of "speculation and suspicion".

No one knew how many backup plans Rune Monger had prepared, how many emergency plans he had planned, and no one knew where the key evidence that could convict him was.

The other party has revealed few flaws to begin with. What if Rune Munger insists on "no evidence" after being caught and refuses to admit it even if beaten?

Capturing Rune Monger would only solve the surface problem.

If the other party refuses to speak and insists that he is "innocent", it may not be possible to follow Rune Monger's clues and find those cultists hiding in the dark.

If we cannot find a breakthrough to convict Monger and force him to speak in a short period of time, the problem will only become more serious.

The cultists will certainly use this to hide deeper and be more difficult to detect.

The more I think about it, the more difficult it gets.

Brandon was so confused that he slapped Lancelot's thigh angrily:

"If you ask me, we should use the simplest method and charge directly into Monger Manor!"

"Maybe we can catch Rune Monger off guard with a surprise attack, just like when you attacked the messenger of Stone Fort. She didn't have time to make any preparations at all!"

"Then we'll capture Monger and have Miss Reina torture him severely to force him to speak!"

"Warlocks are the best at this!"

Lancelot hissed and rubbed his thighs. "I think this is a good idea, but there is a problem."

"Munger is 91 years old this year. At such an old age, his soul must be old too, right?"

"What if he dies from the torture?"

Brandon groaned and stopped talking.

He forgot how old Monger was.

I really don't dare to use soul-torturing spells on a 91-year-old man.

If the soul is tortured into soul fragments, even the [Great Resurrection Spell] cannot save it.

Reina thought for a long time and came up with an idea:
"How about we try to disguise ourselves as cultists? If nothing unexpected happens, those guys who are connected with Monger are members of the Church of the Supreme Truth, right?"

"Similar to the method used to gain the trust of the messenger in Stone Castle, pretend to be a believer of the Supreme Truth and go to see Monger. Maybe he will reveal something this way?"

Pete shook his head in denial at first: "No, no."

"This is not a stone fortress, and we don't know how Monger is in contact with those cultists. If we were to meet him so brazenly, he would have been under the surveillance of the Glorious Cult long ago."

"They must have secret means and methods of contact."

Then he pursed his lips thoughtfully and analyzed:

"But perhaps disguise is indeed a good way to gain trust."

"We don't know how the cultists contacted Monger."

"But we know who's at Monger Manor, don't we?"

"Guards and servants who stay in the manor for a long time."

"And the nobles who have lived here for a long time."

"They must all be familiar with Monger Manor."

“We may have to pay a small price of legendary experience, die and return to the Altar of Creation, reshape our bodies to look like those people, and then disguise ourselves as them, so that we can enter the manor openly and look for suitable evidence?” Everyone’s eyes lit up when they heard this.

This method sounds a lot more reliable!

At least it's much more reliable than just rushing into the manor, grabbing Monger and hanging him up to beat him.

“But the risks of doing so are probably not low.”

Pete pondered for a moment, then denied himself:
"Once the person we are impersonating finds out, they will find the flaws as soon as they compare the situation."

"What if we are discovered before we can find evidence..."

However, Dolan, who was sitting next to Lancelot, had his eyes lit up.

"and many more!"

"Everyone, hey...I just thought of an idea!"

Everyone looked at Dolan:
"What are you waiting for? Tell me!"

Dolan looked a little embarrassed. "Well, I have to say in advance that this method may be a little... not so glorious, and the method... doesn't seem so just."

"It may not be a good idea, but it may be a dirty trick."

When Pete heard this, he laughed.

"Don't worry, we don't have any moral quirks. As long as your method is feasible enough, it's worth a try!"

"What matters most now is whether it works well, not whether it is just or not!"

"As long as it can be used to deal with cultists, it must be a reasonable idea!"

"Tell me about it now!"

Dolan organized his words and explained:

“I am actually inspired by your ideas.”

"If we suddenly come up with enough 'evidence' to convict Rune Monger - that is, the fact that all the gold coins in the Gilded Club were misappropriated."

"Then, on the pretext of being under investigation, 'Rune Monger' was taken away directly from the Gilded Club."

"In this case, everyone who gets the news will probably panic. After all, Rune Monger has been arrested and is under investigation!
"They will definitely start stampeding to cash out immediately and try to get an explanation from the Gilded Club."

“The real evidence will then emerge – people will find out that there is something wrong with the Gilded Club!”

"This formed a closed loop of evidence, and the previous arrest became a natural process."

"Rune Monger will have no chance to fight back or operate."

Gale frowned as he heard this:

"its not right."

"We don't have any evidence to prove that Rune Monger misappropriated the gold coins. How can we arrest him?"

Dolan smiled strangely:
"Who said we were planning to capture the real Monger?"

"Since we can use the method of reshaping our bodies to disguise ourselves as other people, why don't we just... pretend to be Rune Monger?"

"Use a fake Monger to pretend he was captured and taken away for investigation and interrogation, and then spread the news to the entire capital as quickly as possible!"

"As long as we can hold Monger back during this period, he won't notice the problem and won't react."

"By the time he realized the problem, the news that 'Rune Monger was arrested because the Gilded Club was suspected of funding cultists' had already become an established fact!"

"Once the panic is fully formed, it won't be so easy to calm down, right?"
