Upon hearing this…

"no problem."

Ying nodded, then looked at the others around her, "Everyone can try. Say something harmless and not sensitive, but only you know the answer to. Just randomly pick a few things and deliberately 'make a mistake'."

“If it is a ‘lie,’ Zhaoxin will begin to tremble.”

"Oh?"

Tsubaki, the current leader of the Hephaestus Familia, immediately became interested. "Then I'll give it a try first..."

After that, starting with her, all the high-level officials from various parties tried the lie detection function of [Zhaoxin].

Everyone understood without saying a word...

Everyone knows that the reason for doing this now is to avoid the possibility that Ying might intentionally frame someone.

After all, for most of the people attending this meeting, Ying was a mysterious person of unknown origin.

Now, after a series of tests, as long as [Zhaoxin] is indeed fine, we can take the opportunity to increase Ying's trust level.

And at the same time...

"Heh~ This spy's mental fortitude is lacking."

"That makes sense. If we keep waiting, I'm going to checkmate you all and wipe you out in one fell swoop."

It's not hard to see that Ying deliberately publicized this matter to set a trap.

Sure enough, while Finn and the others were taking turns testing the lie detector effectiveness of [Zhaoxin], some inconspicuous nobodys in the 'guild' began to move towards the door, intentionally or unintentionally.

Among them are men and women, and there is far more than one.

After exchanging messages, some people immediately left the 'guild' headquarters and ran towards the slums.

Some of these people pretended to be passing by the conference room by chance, while others claimed to be going to other places for work, each with their own reasons.

And Ying, who comes from another world's 'future', is of course very clear about this:

"Slums... Daedalus Street."

"Isn't that the hidden location of the multiple entrances and exits of the 'Man-made Labyrinth - Knossos'?"

"Well, that's fine too."

"Originally, I didn't know how to reveal this information, but they pulled this stunt themselves, so I don't have to bother thinking about 'where the information came from'."

Ying remained in the conference room, lost in thought.

As for why she could so easily grasp the overall situation...

Very simple!

First of all, Paimon is the top eyeliner brand.

Besides that, Ying only needs to use her 'erosion + creation' development ability to create some 'miniature clones'.

Correct.

First, use the 'Creation' power to imitate 'Wood Release: Wood Clone' and use the self-developed ability.

Then, by utilizing the "consciousness projection" effect of the "erosion" power, those "miniature wooden figures" can be used as remote positioning, eavesdropping, and surveillance devices.

This kind of self-developed capability is undoubtedly difficult to defend against.

However, even with this backup plan...

"To be on the safe side, we should all say this in front of [Zhaoxin]."

Finn proposed, "I am not a member of the 'Dark Faction,' nor have I ever cooperated with the 'Dark Faction.'"

The blond dwarf said the last sentence directly to [Zhaoxin].

Sure enough, nothing happened.

At present, those who have nothing to hide, although some may feel somewhat unhappy because they were 'arranged', still followed Finn's example for the sake of the bigger picture.

First, there were the people in the conference room.

Then, they arrived at the 'Guild' hall...

It was at this moment...

"Grab that guy."

"Some people ran away over there too."

"My God, there are so many spies in the 'guild'?"

……

Some moles who had been hoping to get away with it finally couldn't hold back any longer and began their desperate struggle.

Among them, one or two people actually tried to take hostages.

pity……

"Bang~"

Inside the enormous 'guild' headquarters, a flash of purple lightning struck, and before anyone could react, all the suspicious individuals were instantly knocked to the ground.

As the purple lightning that had been lingering in mid-air gradually dissipated, what onlookers saw was Ying standing in the center of the room, her right hand making a 'hand chop' gesture.

too fast.

"Is this the kind of powerful adventurer who has the confidence to fight two Lv.7s?"

Everyone was amazed.

It's obvious that Ying is also taking advantage of this opportunity to flex her muscles a little.

After all, those with great power are more likely to gain a voice.

And her current actions have indeed had a very good effect.

Even Allen, a rebellious cat-human youth belonging to Freya's Familia, showed a look of surprise on his face.

After that...

"Now that the traitor has been caught, I have some important intelligence to share with everyone."

While Shakti was arranging for the Ganesha Familia members to arrest the spies one by one, Ying spoke again, "First of all, I have fought against [Gluttony] and [Tranquility] before, and found that their physical condition is not optimistic."

"Both of them must have gone into battle injured."

She looked around and said, “Recently, I think you have all learned through your respective intelligence networks that the ‘Dark Faction’ has not only been active in the ‘Black Desert (Tidayin)’, but has also attacked many elven tribes, including the ‘Lumiruya Forest’, and seized and collected many ‘Great Sacred Tree trunks’.”

Hearing her mention this...

"Yes."

As Orario's 'eyes and ears'... Vice-Captain Asphie nodded somewhat reservedly, "The information we've gathered is consistent with what Miss Ying said."

So that's it.

Ying continued, "As far as I know, some unusual flower buds have suddenly begun to grow inside the 'Black Desert' in recent years."

"Around highly poisonous substances, rare and precious treasures that can 'detoxify' often appear."

"Since those flower stamens can overcome the toxicity of 'Behemoth's blood' and bloom tenaciously, they are very likely to contain an effect that can slightly alleviate the 'Behemoth's poison'."

"As for [Gluttony], the powerful adventurer who once delivered the final blow to the 'King of the Land,' he once devoured the flesh and blood of Behemoth and must have been tormented by the deadly poison it contained."

"This is the fundamental reason why the 'Dark Faction' frequently appears in the 'Black Desert'."

"Similarly..."

Ying looked at Riveria, "I think you are all familiar with the past of [Tranquility]."

"A congenital incurable disease, which manifests directly as a 'skill'... The 'trunk of the Great Sacred Tree' taken from various elven tribes was intended to alleviate her incurable disease."

"In summary……"

Ying stated frankly, "I can handle both Gluttony and Tranquility, because neither of them can sustain a prolonged battle."

“Everyone, do your job… so the rest of the scum in the ‘Dark Faction’ will be left to you to deal with.”

"Is that okay?"

Chapter 374 Alfia Wants the Rabbit Boy to Call Her 'Mom'

The next day, at night...

The location is in the basement of an abandoned church within the old city area.

"So, you've revealed everything about both of us to the outside world?"

The silver-haired woman and the scarred man kept their appointment as scheduled.

At this moment, Alfia opened her eyes for the first time, revealing her heterochromatic pupils that exuded an otherworldly beauty, and stared directly at Ying.

There was a hint of reproach in her tone.

But he was clearly not really angry.

because……

"Although it might sound a little strange for me to say this, but..."

Ying, who also arrived on time, narrowed her eyes slightly. "Later-than-expected information is like poison."

"This might not be a major concern for Mr. Finn and his group, but for those in the 'Dark Faction'... well, let's just say it's not a big deal."

The meaning behind her words was already quite clear.

"Even if you two don't fully recover tonight, you will... at least live for another twenty years."

The silly little sister raised her right hand and made a 'yeah~' peace sign.

Seeing her like this...

"Haha~"

Chardo laughed heartily, "Twenty years... even if we can't be fully cured, we'll be content."

Twenty years is a long time; you can really accomplish a lot in that time.
