Chapter 2236 - The Ninth Mound (2/2)

Mu Bai found a clerk in the office, who was trimming her nails. She was currently in her thirties, at the point where she was only wasting her money trying to conserve her youthful looks, which she should have done at a younger age.

“Hi, I’m a guest lecturer of the school, Mu Han. My colleagues and I are thinking of earning some extra money. We heard the mount patrols have the highest pay, so we are interested in them,” Mu Bai asked.

If the Black Vatican had spies in the school, they had to stick to their disguises as teachers of the school. Dean Xiao had made the smart choice of suggesting they disguise themselves as guest lecturers. If they were students, they would struggle to get things done!

“What do you want to know?” the clerk answered lazily.

Mu Bai was just about to ask some questions when he caught a pungent smell.

He glanced at the nail polish the clerk was using, yet the smell did not seem to come from it. Could it be the woman had put on enough perfume to marinate her flesh?

“What’s behind there? Is it a storage area?” Mu Bai pointed at a door behind the clerk’s desk.

The smell was coming from there…

“Yeah, resources are stored here before they are transported to the mountains. Is there any problem?” The clerk continued to apply her nail polish.

“May I take a look at them?” Mu Bai asked her.

“Go ahead.”

A strong smell assailed Mu Bai’s nostrils as he approached the door. He almost broke out in tears from it.

Mu Bai was very sensitive to odors as a Poison and Plant Mage. The clerk might think the smell was soothing, yet it felt like a slow poison to Mu Bai!

The storage area was empty when Mu Bai walked inside, but the odor that lingered on the floor and the walls were too strong. Mu Bai had been conducting experiments on the Frenzy Poppies lately, so he was very sensitive to their scent!

“Damn it, it’s the Black Vatican!” Mu Bai had a cold expression as he stared into the empty storage area.

Mu Bai had always thought the Black Vatican had transported the Frenzy Poppies to a secret factory in a hidden place. To his surprise, the Black Vatican was bold enough to store the Frenzy Poppies right inside the school, in the storage area of the Security Department!

The fact that the lingering smell was so strong meant the Frenzy Poppies had been stored here for quite some time.

The Frenzy Poppies looked just like normal poppies on the surface. The Aorus Sacred Institute did not have strict control over poppies. They only treated poppies as medicinal herbs which were commonly used to make painkillers.

It was common for battles to take place at the mounds. The people stationed at the mounds were always injured, so it was not strange to transport poppies to the mounds.

Mo Fan and his group had forgotten something important. The Black Vatican was very good at hiding their crimes under the cover of normal lives. They even let the school, which was the last thing anyone would suspect, hide and transport their goods!

“Where did they move the things in this room to?” Mu Bai asked quickly.

“The Ninth Mound.”
