Chapter 263 Immortal Treasure: Lie Detector
At the end of the morning meeting, Chen Mo made the final decision.
"The relocation of the teaching facility should be done sooner rather than later, the sooner the better. But there is one thing that must be completed before the relocation."
Qingzhu asked.
"Young master, what is it?"
Chen Mo grasped Shangguan Hong's hand.
"We must find the traitor. Otherwise, if there's a second Ruhua in the ranks, even if we move to Stone Village, it's the same as telling the Emperor the new address in person."
"Hong'er, go and get everyone together. We'll conduct a lie detector test right away."
Shangguan Hong nodded solemnly and got up to go out and make arrangements.
She stopped abruptly as she reached the door.
"Young master, the entire sect has gathered, causing too much commotion. If there really is a traitor among them, they might try to escape before we can even investigate."
Chen Mo stroked his chin and nodded.
"Then you should say that yesterday's great battle was a success, and that we should reward those who contributed by distributing pills and cultivation techniques to all the disciples of the sect."
Shangguan Hong's eyes lit up.
"Brilliant! Using the pretext of receiving a reward to conduct a thorough investigation will only encourage everyone to push forward, preventing us from alerting the enemy."
"There's no time to lose, I'll make the arrangements right away."
Chen Mo added.
"Furthermore, issue an order to immediately seal off the mountain gates, allowing entry but not exit, ostensibly to prevent a counterattack from the remnants of the imperial forces. Anyone attempting to escape by air using their light-footed skills, have Wanqing shoot them dead with a Barrett rifle."
"it is good."
Shangguan Hong said no more and went out.
Chen Mo casually sent Su Yue, Qing Zhu, and Xu Wanqing to help as well.
In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the courtyard.
He closed the door, and the next moment he was back in his bedroom at the Blue Star Villa.
He took out his phone and dialed Ye Yunshu's number.
"Yunshu, get me something. Lie detectors and high-powered power banks, the more the better. Quickly, I need them."
"Okay, Brother Mo, I'll get right on it."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Chen Mo glanced at the time; it probably wouldn't be done so quickly.
Lu Xingyao wasn't home either, so he opened his phone and ordered takeout: braised chicken rice with two braised eggs. He slumped on the sofa and slowly finished eating, even taking a nap afterwards.
A phone call woke him up; it was Ye Yunshu.
As expected, the Ye family's efficiency never disappoints.
Ye Yunshu used Ye Changjun's connections to obtain a military-grade lie detector, whose accuracy and sensitivity were unmatched by any commercially available product.
Two hours.
Thirty military-grade lie detectors and fifty large portable power banks were neatly delivered to the villa's underground warehouse.
Chen Mo arrived at the warehouse, put all the dozens of devices into his storage ring, and returned to his bedroom to travel back to the Tianxuan Continent.
Two hours on Earth are only half an hour here.
When the four women returned after finishing their business, they saw Chen Mo appear out of thin air as soon as they opened the door.
"ah!"
Qingzhu jumped three feet high in fright, then rushed over and surrounded him, looking at him and touching him.
"Young master! Where did you go? How did you suddenly appear? Were you performing magic?"
Su Yue and Xu Wanqing also gathered around, their four hands touching him all over, as if trying to confirm whether he was a living person.
Even Shangguan Hong stood aside, staring at him for a long time.
Chen Mo, feeling helpless under the watchful eyes of four pairs of eyes, made up a story on the spot.
"Don't be scared when I tell you. I am a reincarnated immortal, and I occasionally have to go back to heaven to take care of some things."
The courtyard fell silent for a moment after he said that.
"No wonder the young master can do everything!"
Qingzhu was the first to believe it, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Su Yue was skeptical, but smiled and lowered her eyes.
"Whatever the young master says, goes."
Xu Wanqing smiled meaningfully, but asked nothing.
Shangguan Hong stared at him for a couple of moments before speaking softly.
"If you don't tell me, I won't ask. I'll wait until the day you're ready to tell me."
Chen Mo coughed lightly.
No one ever believes the truth, but fabrications always seem to be true.
"Alright, stop crowding around."
He quickly changed the subject.
"Come, let me show you some treasures."
He walked into the courtyard and waved his hand, causing the contents of his storage ring to spill out.
Thirty lie detectors and fifty portable power banks were piled up like a small mountain, clanging and clattering.
The four women stood around the pile of iron lumps, marveling at it.
Chen Mo brought out a machine, plugged it in, and gave a live demonstration.
"Once the patch is applied to the wrist and chest, the machine is turned on, and the curves on the screen start to jump."
"When people tell the truth, the curve remains flat; but as soon as they lie, their heart rate increases, and the curve immediately goes wrong."
"Is it really that miraculous?"
Green bamboo was positioned at the very front.
"You'll know once you try it."
Chen Mo took the patch from her wrist and asked with a smile.
"Qingzhu, did you collapse from exhaustion last night?"
Qingzhu's face turned bright red.
"no!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen curve turned red.
The three girls burst into laughter, and Qingzhu's face turned red to the roots of her neck.
"This...this machine is broken!"
Chen Mo said slowly.
"Bad? Then ask again..."
"I won't ask anymore!"
Qingzhu ripped off the patch and hid behind Suyue.
Despite the laughter, the four women immediately grasped the principles of the machine.
It's really easy to operate. Just connect the wires, turn on the machine, and stare at the curve on the screen.
For the next half hour, these people treated the lie detector like a toy, asking each other all sorts of personal questions, with alarms going off one after another, and laughing so hard they were doubled over.
Chen Mo coughed dryly beside him.
"Easy-to-use machines should conserve electricity."
"All three thousand students in the entire faculty must be tested one by one."
"Thirty machines require thirty trustworthy people to monitor the screens."
Shangguan Hong immediately relayed the order.
Before long, the twelve elders and eighteen disciples who usually performed well gathered in the courtyard.
Thirty people walked into the courtyard and saw iron contraptions they had never seen before scattered all over the ground. They looked at each other in dismay, not daring to utter a sound.
Chen Mo stood in front of a small mountain of lie detectors and spoke with a smile.
"Do you know why the imperial army was able to attack last night?"
No one in the courtyard dared to speak.
"Because the Right Protector, Ruhua, is a spy for the imperial court, she revealed the location of the sect's gate. The Right Protector has been hiding in the sect for over thirty years, even deceiving the sect leader."
Everyone's breath caught in their throats, and their pupils contracted sharply.
Chen Mo continued.
"The undercover agents are very well hidden and difficult to find, but I have a treasure here that can directly tell who the undercover agent is."
He reached out and patted the lie detector next to him.
"This is a magical lie detector. Once you sit in front of it, no matter how high your cultivation level or how deep your cunning, you can't hide anything from it."
Thirty people stared intently at the pile of iron, their Adam's apples bobbing.
"I have called you here today to entrust you with the task of screening all three thousand members of the church."
Chen Mo changed the subject, his tone softening.
"However, you must first prove that you are clean. So you will be the first to be tested."
The courtyard was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Three breaths later, a white-bearded elder stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, and spoke in a booming voice.
"I've done nothing wrong, what am I afraid of! I'll go first!"
"good!"
The elders responded enthusiastically.
"Let them test us! We've been members of the sect for decades, working diligently and wholeheartedly for its growth and development. Are we afraid of a simple screening?"
