Chapter 2450 Breaking Tool Security


    Lin Mu watched as the Discipline Hall elders took the Second Lieutenant for interrogation after stripping him of his immortal tools.


    There wasn''t much for him to do as he didn''t really have an expertise in interrogation. As such, he reckoned he should do something that could be better. "I want all Spatial Storage tools, as well as Immortal Tools to be brought to me." Lin Mu ordered.


    "Of course, Lord Imperator." The Discipline Hall members replied.


    "Ah! With you here, it''ll be much easier to check their items." Crown Prince Feng Shun knew what Lin Mu intended to do. "We tried it before with other ck Ying Empire members we had arrested but their Spatial Storage tools simply self destructed." He stated.


    "They probably will again, if we check them the normal way." Lin Mu replied. "I''ll ess the pocket space directly." He spoke before beginning his work.


    The Discipline Hall members had gathered all the Spatial Storage tools as well as other Immortal tools on arge table for Lin Mu. They were sorted into two sections, one with a pile of rings, bracelets, pendants and such essories.


    The second section was more spread out with weapons, armors, chains, shoes and other bigger sized tools.


    ~SHUA~


    Lin Mu first activated his Spatial Perception and checked each of the tools, to see if there were any hidden Spatial Storage tools among them. It was not unusual for spies to have a secret Spatial Storage tool that was disguised as something else and another decoy Spatial Storage tool.


    That way even if they were caught, it was less likely for their secret information to be found.


    "Hmm… There''s two." And sure enough, after a bit of observation Lin Mu quickly found something.


    "You really found something?" Commander Dui was intrigued. "Which ones are they?" he asked.


    "This sword and this belt." Lin Mu spoke, picking up the two items. "The tassel of this sword is a Spatial Storage tool." He pointed at the small bead that was hanging from the sword.


    It was something that could have been easily ignored being part of the sword''s decoration, especially considering the isting formation that was present on it. This in addition to the sword''s natural sharp aura made it so that any Spatial Fluctuationing from it would be masked well.


    "The belt buckle is also a Spatial Storage tool." This was a bit more straightforward as its buckle very clearly seemed to be a tool of some kind with the runes that were carved on it.


    "Hmm… Its disguised under a defensive array?" Crown Prince Feng Shun observed it a bit before sensing what the belt did.


    "It''s a good disguise. Whoever made it also added a time lock. It can only be opened after a certain amount of time, thus limiting idental exposure." Lin Mu exined. "This is probably meant to smuggle things." He guessed.


    The belt itself had a very simple design and if it was sold in the street market, no one would bat an eye. "There''s probably a thousand belts like this out in the market and being used by people. Passing this to others would certainly be a very easy way to smuggle things." Crown Prince Feng Shun could see the trick.


    "Let''s see what''s inside all these," Lin Mu said as he used his ring''s power to open portals.


    ~SHUA~


    A spatial rift opened up that directly essed the minor void that was contained within a Spatial Storage ring.


    ~thud~thud~thud~thud~thud~


    In the next second, a stream of objects poured out of the rift, piling up on the floor below.


    Commander Dui and a few other Discipline Hall members that were watching were left with wide-open jaws. "So easy…" One of the Discipline Hall members muttered.


    "No encryption troubles, no finagling with the arrays…"


    "No being anxious about the tool exploding…" They all had something to say as they watched one of the mostplex tasks being turned into a mundane chore. It was as if Lin Mu was simply emptying out buckets as items fell out of the ''secure'' Spatial Storage tools.


    "What''re you all waiting for? Begin sorting." Crown Prince Feng Shun brought them out of their stupor.


    "Ah! Yes!" They realized they had been a bit disrespectful and quickly got to work.


    Lin Mu finished emptying out all the Spatial Storage tools that were undisguised before working on the Sword Tassel and the Belt.


    "These are a bit moreplex." Lin Mu replied. "These seem to have specific activation conditions." He stated.


    "You can''t just empty them out like before?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked.


    Instead of replying, Lin Mu used his immortal sense to analyze the arrays before determining if there would be anything that could trigger self destruction. Thankfully, no one had considered that there would be someone like Lin Mu who could bypass the defenses as if they were paper.


    ''Looks like I was being careful for nothing.'' Once Lin Mu determined that he could use the same method as before, he was relieved.


    ~SHUA~


    He opened a rift for the sword''s tassel first and took out three objects from it.


    The first was a wooden token that had the words ''ck Ying'' carved on them, the second was a ssy ck pill that seemed to have glitter swirling in it and the final item was a scroll that was sealed with a silver band.


    "This pretty much confirms the second lieutenant''s affiliation." Commander Dui stated. "This was his sword." He added.


    "Let me check the belt too." Lin Mu did the same for the buckle, but only found a single item inside it. "A letter?" he held it carefully, checking for any formations on it.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    "Hmm… A protective lock formation." Lin Mu discovered.


    "Can you break the formation?" Crown Prince Feng Shun asked.


    "No need for that." Lin Mu said before picking up the wooden token. "We have the key for it." He said before using the token to touch the letter.
