After a while, Liu Ming said slowly, “Sir, it seems that you really don’t have anything to do with this matter. However, what’s up with the curse on you?”

After seeing the information about the curse on Old Hunter Robbo’s information panel, Liu Ming confirmed that it was unlikely that the latter was involved with that group of Doomsday Devotees.

However, the old hunter was cursed, yet he did not go to the church to lift the curse from his body. Thus, they could not help but suspect if the old hunter had a guilty conscience.

In response to Liu Ming’s question, the old hunter smiled and answered, “It’s not a big deal. It’s something that happened when I was younger.” In a different tone, the old hunter then said, “Young man, we’d better discuss the matter regarding the snitch.”

“Due to the curse on my body, I’m very sensitive to dark forces. I have sensed plenty of dark force coming from the bodies of Bert and Klurt. Hence, it is very likely that they are the snitches. However, I haven’t been able to find any key evidence to bring them to trial. Also, the Curse of the Night has been put on me; it is very likely that I may have been tainted by them as they are someone from the Darkness Camp.”

Although Liu Ming did not ask how the old hunter had gotten himself embroiled with such a curse, he finally managed to obtain plenty of leads. He could immediately narrow the scope down to two people.

In fact, Liu Ming was already certain about which one of them was more likely to be the snitch. Of course, it wasn’t impossible that both Father Bert and Lord Klurt were snitches.

In all, the fact that Liu Ming eliminated two people’s suspiciousness at once was considered a pleasant surprise.

Besides, Liu Ming was finally certain about who was the greatest suspect this time.

Just as Liu Ming was planning to bid farewell to the old hunter, he received a message from Flying Above Grass.

Flying Above Grass: “Big Shot Floating Cloud, I’ve already confirmed that Lieutenant Shaun is often AWOL at night because he has an affair with the widow in the east of the village.”

Flying Above Grass: “Big Shot Floating Cloud, I’ll tell you the details of everything when you come over.”

Liu Ming immediately smiled and sent another message.

Floating Cloud: “No need for that. The mission is more important. I think I probably already know who the snitch is. Go to the church in the west of the village and reconnoiter to see if there are any tunnels or similar things in the vicinity.”

Flying Above Grass: “Great God Floating Cloud, you’re impressive!”

Flying Above Grass: “Floating On Water and Vertical Cloud Ladder have not found any clues yet. I also happened to encounter that lieutenant. He was sneakily heading to look for his lover. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to discover this.”

Flying Above Grass: “Great God Floating Cloud, you’ve actually already determined who the snitch is. Indeed, the big shot is different from us.”

Flying Above Grass: “I thought that I’d be able to surpass Big Shot Floating Cloud in performing missions since I have special investigation techniques like Wind Detection. It seems like I was being too naive.”

…

Looking at the messages that continuously appeared, Liu Ming couldn’t help but shake his head while chuckling softly.

Flying Above Grass was a nice person, but he was just a little too talkative.

…

Twenty minutes later, Liu Ming and the Lightness Skill Trio successfully met up with each other near the church in the west of the village.
