"What does an object like a grinding wheel look like?" Wang Gui asked.

"It just looks like a grinding wheel on the outside..." Xiao Mu said as he took out his cellphone to show Wang Gui the photo.

When he and Du Wenzhen discovered the Stone Mill Spirit Plate, they specifically took photos of it and saved them on his cellphone.

Despite their extensive knowledge, they couldn't recognize what the Stone Mill Spirit Plate was, but considering that Curse Gate went to great lengths to search for objects unearthed from underground, one could deduce that it was no ordinary object.

"It's this one!"

After a glance at the photo of the Stone Mill Spirit Plate on Xiao Mu's cellphone, Wang Gui's face showed a look of surprise.

"Brother Wang, do you recognize this object?" Xiao Mu, sensing something from Wang Gui's expression, pressed on with his questioning.

Wang Gui said, "I've seen an identical object in the Consultant Office of Group Two before, but I'm not sure if it's the very one you're talking about."

"Group Two? It must be mine then; there couldn't possibly be that many such objects." Xiao Mu's face turned unnatural, and he said indignantly, "Why would an object found during my mission end up being sent to Group Two?"

Wang Gui explained, "If that object really was found by you, indeed, it shouldn't have been sent to Group Two."

"Logically, whatever object a group member finds should be sent to the Consultant Office of the respective group. Why would your find be sent to Group Two? I'm not clear on that either. Had you already joined Group One at that time?"

Xiao Mu shook his head, his mind racing with realization, "I was still on Reserve Duty at that time."

"That makes sense," Wang Gui said with regret.

"Objects found by those on Reserve Duty could potentially end up with any group."

Considering that the Stone Mill Spirit Plate might be an important object tied to a great secret, Xiao Mu asked unwillingly, "Is there any way to reclaim that grinding wheel?"

"Difficult!" Wang Gui shook his head repeatedly, remorsefully adding, "Qin Duan, the leader of Group Two, is quite domineering. He often covets things that don't belong to them, let alone ones that have already been allocated to their hands."

"As for your grinding wheel, I think it's unlikely that you'll get it back."

"However, you could ask the group leader and see if he might have some way to resolve the dispute over the grinding wheel through the higher-ups."

To resolve the grinding wheel dispute through the higher-ups?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mu felt skeptical.

Without any certainty about what the grinding wheel was, why would the higher-ups be concerned with such matters?

It seemed improbable to regain possession of the grinding wheel.

Xiao Mu felt frustrated, thinking that if it had been an ordinary object, he might not mind so much, but the grinding wheel might be far from ordinary.

Nonetheless, he couldn't come up with a good way to reclaim the grinding wheel at the moment and could only reluctantly set the issue aside to consider slowly later.

Suddenly remembering something else, he said, "Brother Wang, have you ever seen a Prison Map of the Divine Prison?"

"A Prison Map of the Divine Prison?" Wang Gui gazed at Xiao Mu curiously.

The Prison Map was another treasure that Xiao Mu had acquired from a mission, whose value was yet to be determined since it was unclear if the Divine Prison had even been constructed.

But if the Stone Mill Spirit Plate was allocated to the Consultant Office for research, it was unlikely that the Prison Map hadn't been distributed as well.

Was it also handed over to the Consultant Office of Group Two?

Wang Gui's reaction prompted an uneasy feeling in Xiao Mu, who quickly clarified, "It's a Prison Map related to Ge Xie and Ge Earth God, involving the Lord of Bai's Mansion, a plan for constructing a prison for Divine Spirits."

"There's a map like that?" Wang Gui's face revealed surprise as he wondered, "How come I haven't heard of it?"

It looks like it got allocated to Group Two again.

Xiao Mu felt uncomfortable, wondering why his finds from missions should be allocated to Group Two.

Even though Xiao Mu wasn't part of any mission group at the time and had no say in how the items found during missions were allocated, it didn't stop him from feeling displeased about his items being sent to Group Two.

Following that, Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief, his expression one of slight fortune.

Unlike the Stone Mill Spirit Plate, the Prison Map was just a map, and Xiao Mu had photographed it with his cellphone the moment he got it.

This meant that even without the original Prison Map, he could still explore the Divine Prison using the photo on his cellphone, given that the prison was indeed constructed.

"I have a photo of the Prison Map here," Xiao Mu said, pulling out his cellphone to find the image of the Prison Map and showing it to Wang Gui, "Please copy it over, Brother Wang, and look for related material to verify whether the Divine Prison was actually built, and if it was, where it was built. Let me know if you find any definitive information."

"You still have the photo."

Wang Gui's face lit up with joy, "Let me see it; as long as your photo is clear enough, it's just as good as having the original."

Xiao Mu handed the cellphone to Wang Gui.

Wang Gui stared at the photo of the Prison Map on Xiao Mu's cellphone for a moment, his surprise evident as he said, "This really is the Prison Map; so the Lord of Bai's Mansion did indeed plan to build the Divine Prison."

"Brother Wang seems to know something?" Xiao Mu, detecting the subtext in Wang Gui's words, followed up curiously.

Wang Gui spoke as if recalling something, "What I know is all inferred from the documents. If Brother Xiao wishes to know, I suppose I could tell you."

Xiao Mu nodded, signaling his eagerness to learn.

Wang Gui then recounted, "In Ancient Times, the Life and Death Sect, Five Elements Sect, Curse Gate, and other sects rebelled, and the Lord of Bai's Mansion was commanded to suppress them."

"Because the number of rebels at that time was too great and the battles kept spreading, all the city gods, earth gods, Mountain Gods, kitchen gods, door gods got involved, forced into the battle."
