Walker Of The Worlds

2787  Stench Of Rotten Currents

A lingering silence settled in the room, broken only by Lin Mu's measured breathing. The ruthless glint in his eyes receded as he turned his attention to the office. His gaze swept across the chamber, searching for anything of value.

He knew time was of the essence, but information was just as valuable as any weapon he wielded. If he could unravel the deeper secrets hidden within these walls, he would have more than just brute force on his side.

A drawer, locked but hastily secured, caught his interest. With a flick of his fingers, he forced it open, revealing a stack of official documents.

"Documents of the investigation?" he murmured, scanning the contents.

A cruel smirk curled his lips.

'I didn't expect to find this so easily.'

The documents detailed the disappearances, and to Lin Mu's interest, Inquisitor Bernard had been involved—though not directly. He was merely kept in the loop, with another inquisitor handling the primary aspects of the case. Still, the fact that Bernard had these documents in his possession meant he had been keeping a close watch on the case, perhaps more than he had been allowed to.

Lin Mu's brows furrowed as he flipped through the pages.
