Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

Lin Mo pushed open the door and went in, bowing his head, and placed the stack of folded papers on the low table next to the imperial desk.

The Empress was leaning back in her chair, resting with her eyes closed. She didn't look at him, but casually asked:

"What's important in each hall today?"

There are two memorials from the Ministry of Revenue concerning the autumn tax, placed in the middle.

The rest are the routine folding documents from each hall, placed below.

"Um."

The Empress waved her hand.

"Go down."

Lin Mo bowed his head and left the Phoenix Cry Palace.

He walked along the corridor toward the Directorate of Ceremonial.

The Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs was located in a row of side rooms on the east side of the palace. Several long tables were set up in the rooms, piled high with memorials and documents sent from various palaces.

Several palace maids were busy tidying up when they saw him enter. One of them looked up and greeted him.

"Xiao Zhu, have you finished delivering?"

"Um."

Lin Mo nodded, his tone indifferent.

"His Majesty didn't say anything today, did he?"

"no."

The palace maid seemed used to his cold attitude and didn't ask any more questions, continuing to work with her head down.

Lin Mo sat down at the long table and, imitating Xiao Zhu's usual manner, categorized the memorials sent from each palace according to their urgency and then filed them by palace name.

He worked at a leisurely pace, and when colleagues occasionally came over to chat, he would just give them a few perfunctory replies and move on.

He stayed until the end of the workday and then returned to Xiaozhu's place.

Xiaozhu's residence was in a row of palace maid dormitories on the east side of the palace. It was a small room with a bed and a table, on which were several folded books.

He closed the door, set up a restriction, and then eagerly took out the alien insect he had obtained from the small world and began to consume it.

The first one, of course, is the alien insect of the Substitute Law.

The insect was a translucent pale gold color, with a very thin layer of light film on its surface, inside which countless fine runes were slowly flowing.

He threw the insect into his mouth and swallowed it whole.

After the insect enters the stomach, it transforms into a warm current of air that flows into the dantian.

After the fusion, a new insect appeared in Lin Mo's dantian. The insect's surface was covered with a light golden light membrane, and the runes on the light membrane were arranged in a ring, like a shield.

Then there are dark, light, paper, and explosive elements.

After eating five in a row, Lin Mo gained five Law Powers.

Darkness allows him to blend into shadows and move stealthily in the dark;

The light element allows him to condense light blades, combining offense and defense;

The paper system allows him to transform any piece of paper into hard armor or sharp weapons;

The Explosion type allows him to condense his immortal power into explosives, making a bomb something he can throw around with ease.

The methods have become much more numerous.

Lin Mo then tested his newly acquired abilities.

He first tried the dark element, blending into the shadows of the corner of the wall, disappearing from sight, and even his breath became extremely faint.

Then I tried the light element, and a pale golden light blade condensed in my palm, sharp enough to cut through the air.

He pulled a book from the table, poured his immortal power into it, and the book instantly became as hard as iron, its surface gleaming with a metallic sheen.

He used the Explosion type technique, forming a ball of light the size of a thumb and flicking it in front of him. The ball of light exploded into nothingness in the air.

"That's enough."

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction and was about to lie down and rest when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

He left the room, intending to see what was wrong.

As soon as they reached the dormitory entrance, they encountered a large contingent of imperial guards.

The imperial guards, clad in standard silver-white armor and carrying long halberds, had stern, cold expressions.

The head of the Imperial Guards saw Lin Mo and pointed at him:

"Go back immediately and do not leave. The entire palace is now under martial law."

"What happened?"

Lin Mo asked a question.

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

The imperial guard glared at him.

"Go back inside and wait for further instructions."

Lin Mo had no choice but to go back.

The next morning, he went to work at the Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs. As soon as he reached the door, he saw several palace maids gathered around a long table, whispering among themselves.

He slowed his pace and moved closer discreetly.

"...I heard that yesterday afternoon Lord Zhou discovered that several items were missing from the Imperial Treasury, and he was completely stunned."

"What's missing? What could have scared her like that?"

"I don't know exactly what's missing, but I heard the amount is quite large."

Lord Zhou reported this to His Majesty overnight, and His Majesty immediately ordered martial law.

"No wonder the Imperial Guards turned the palace upside down last night."

The Imperial Guards came to my dormitory row three times, even searching under the beds.

"Three trips are nothing. I heard there are even more imperial guards at Fengming Palace. They even pried open the artificial hill in the Imperial Garden to take a look."

Lin Mo sat down beside him, holding a teacup, and casually interjected:

"How did Lord Zhou discover this?"

A round-faced palace maid chimed in:

"I heard that when Lord Zhou went to the inner treasury for his routine inspection, he found that the jade box was missing when he walked to the shelf with the alien insects."

Lord Zhou's face turned pale on the spot. He summoned all the palace maids in the outer hall of the national treasury and questioned them all before reporting to His Majesty.

"So, what have you found out so far?"

Lin Mo asked.

"I heard it's related to Lord Su, and those palace maids were also involved!"

The Imperial Guards ransacked the Su residence from top to bottom. We heard that His Majesty didn't even attend the morning court session today; he was in the Phoenix Cry Hall listening to their reports.

Another palace maid lowered her voice:

"I also heard that Lady Zhou is probably in trouble this time. The things were stolen, and no matter who stole them, she, as the guard, will not be able to escape responsibility."

Lin Mo nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

He picked up his teacup and took a sip, marveling at the speed at which the Empress investigated the case. She had found Su Meiniang so quickly; luckily, he had made preparations in advance.

"Xiaozhu, what are you daydreaming about? There's a mountain of folded paper."

My colleague greeted me.

"They're here."

Lin Mo got up and walked to the long table, where he began to organize the folded paper documents sent from various palaces.

Among the memorials sent from various palaces was one from Lord Zhou, the custodian of the Imperial Treasury, which detailed the missing items.

Lin Mo opened it and his lips twitched.

The memorial reads:

Twelve alien insects are missing, including those of the Dark, Light, Paper, Explosion, Substitute, Dragon, and Sound types.

Three magical artifacts were lost: the Zhenyue Seal, the Jiuxiao Jade Pendant, and the damaged artifact No. 17 (Class A).

Five rare and precious materials have been lost, including the Ten-Thousand-Year Mystic Ice Marrow, the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Grass, and the Chaos Spirit Milk.

He didn't steal that much at all.

They only took five alien insects.

Lord Zhou is really thinking of himself as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!
