Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1647 - 737: Experiences and Insights_2
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
If it were truly a battle, Old Wei might end up at the bottom among the Thousand Blood Warriors of the same level, but correspondingly, his acumen in interrogation is unmatched by others.
"Repeat what you said before."
Old Wei spoke up at this time.
The sound waves clearly carried Qi Power, having some sort of hypnotic and soothing effect. Although quite weak, it somehow produced a great stimulus on Hei Wu Jue, possibly due to toxicity or some other connection.
On the spot, Hei Wu Jue’s eyes widened suddenly, and his whole body’s muscles seemed to tense up and tremble.
"I... I received... the Black Fire Order, it instructed me to go near Tianyuan Town to the Village of Blooming Colors, to pick someone up... hissing... hissing..."
"I, I, I, I, arrived at the place and saw the goods, it was a Spirit Slave... I was to escort her to the Capital... In the Capital... relying on the Black Fire Order, someone would meet me..."
Hei Wu Jue stammered and finished speaking.
Fang Yu frowned.
"Is that all? Qian Guxing is not a Spirit Slave, I’ve known her for a long time, she’s human! What have your people done to her!"
But Fang Yu’s words had no effect on Hei Wu Jue, as if he couldn’t hear Fang Yu’s words at all.
Fang Yu looked at Old Wei in confusion, and the latter shook his head slightly.
As soon as the wooden spike was withdrawn, Hei Wu Jue rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.
"That’s all he knows, just a transporter ensuring the Spirit Slave’s safe arrival to the Capital."
Fang Yu frowned deeply; if that’s the case, he doesn’t know how to restore Qian Guxing to her original state.
"What about the Black Fire Order?" Ding Hui asked curiously.
"It’s over there, we found it earlier and threw it there."
Old Wei smiled while touching his bulbous nose.
Fang Yu followed the gaze, seeing the black token on a table cluttered with empty wine bottles.
He walked over, picked it up, and was slightly taken aback.
Because on that dark token, it was engraved with... a familiar Thunder Cloud!
It was none other than... the emblem of the Thunder Cloud Sect!
That Hei Ningyu, and the people over at the Capital, are they linked to the Thunder Cloud Sect??
’Once you enter the Thunder Cloud, you swear to be an Immortal, this place of illusion turns to cloud and mud. A hundred years of infatuation is a body of sin...’
The words that the Thunder Cloud Sect lunatics chanted resurfaced in Fang Yu’s mind.
These fanatics who believe in immortals, who knows what they’re up to, even turning Qian Guxing into a Spirit Slave!
Fang Yu’s eyes went cold, and his face became grim.
And just at this moment, a cold small hand slipped along the back of Fang Yu’s hand and took away the black Black Fire Order.
"Husband, why does your face look so grim? This organization of Hei Ningyu seems to only recognize the token and not the person. With this thing, once we reach the Capital, we might be able to work something out, maybe even restore Qian Guxing to her original state."
Ding Hui blinked, and Fang Yu sighed inwardly.
If only things were so simple.
Now, Qian Guxing’s health bar is abnormal, and she’s turned into a robot-like being that only follows orders; the situation is more dire than not.
Having the Black Fire Order at most might lead to the enemies, allowing Qian Guxing to get revenge. The hope of restoring Qian Guxing to her original state is slim.
But even so, the necessary efforts are things Fang Yu must make.
"Prison Chief Wei, Lord Yun, I wonder how much you two know about the existence of Spirit Slaves?"
Chen Yunyun, as the disciple of the gatekeeper and now the Acting Guardian.
Every day, numerous caravans and motorcades pass through Sui Chong Pass, witnessing more than an ordinary person would.
And Old Wei, after all, he retired from the capital’s prison. To exit whole from such a place as the Capital and serve in a place like the Heavenly Prison, Old Wei’s knowledge is undoubtedly extraordinary.
"Spirit Slaves..."
Old Wei slowly walked to the side of the table, picked up a bottle with a bit of wine left, and gulped it down.
On the side, Chen Yunyun spoke quite frankly.
"So-called Spirit Slaves are slaves of the Spirit, which can also be considered as the slaves of Believers. However, I’ve only heard of the existence of such beings; seeing one personally is a first for me."
This was similar to Ding Hui’s statement.
Even Ding Hui, facing Spirit Slaves, knew very little, only speaking to the extent of slaves of the Spirit.
However, in one aspect, Ding Hui surpassed Chen Yunyun.
That is, Ding Hui would take the initiative to research.
As long as Qian Guxing’s body is thoroughly researched, Ding Hui believes more understanding can be gained.
But such thorough research... might even require dissecting Qian Guxing’s body.
So before coming down, Fang Yu made it clear to Ding Hui that her research must be conducted under restrictions, not to act recklessly.
As for Old Wei, perhaps he knows something.
There’s also Daoist Qing Yan, but since we’re not familiar with each other, it would be better to ask such questions after a few more interactions.
Knock.
Knock.
Old Wei was tapping the table and burped as he spoke.
"In the past, I heard from a death row inmate about the matter of Spirit Slaves."
"However, that inmate was quite crazy, had already lost his mind, and who knows how much of what he said was true."
Old Wei looked at Fang Yu.
"To be honest, I didn’t believe a word of that lunatic, because what he said was simply too insane."
"But since you brought it up, let me repeat what the lunatic said."
Old Wei seemed to be reminiscing and started to mimic the tone of that madman, his voice turning hoarse and low.
"He said, ’All of us humans are Spirit Slaves! Living Spirit Slaves, dead Spirit Slaves, those Spirit Slaves yet to awaken, the useless Spirit Slaves, Spirit Slave! Spirit Slave! Spirit Slave! Everyone is... a Spirit Slave!!’"
Everyone is... a Spirit Slave??
Fang Yu was utterly shocked.
But Chen Yunyun and Ding Hui showed no emotional fluctuation at all, as if they didn’t take such words to heart.
"Crazy statement, right? That lunatic was executed within a few days, and I never saw anyone crazier in the Heavenly Prison after that."
Old Wei shrugged, seemingly indifferent to this claim, and continued rummaging through the empty bottles, trying to find more wine.
It wasn’t until he confirmed that there really was no more wine that he looked eagerly at Chen Yunyun.
Chen Yunyun sighed, clapped twice, and instructed the guard who came in to bring more wine, which was quickly delivered.
"Drink less, it’s harmful to your health..."
Chen Yunyun advised, but saw Old Wei hugging the wine jar, gulping it down.
She sighed and did not say anything more. She looked at Fang Yu and noticed he was in a daze, seemingly lost in thought.
"Young Master Diao?"
"Ah!"
Fang Yu suddenly snapped back to consciousness.
Chen Yunyun pointed ahead.
"This guy, how does Young Master Diao plan to deal with him? He’s already useless."
She was pointing at Hei Wu Jue.
Fang Yu’s eyes narrowed.
Does that even need to be asked?
Took three steps forward, a golden glint flashed at his fingertip!
Buzz!!
A golden arc swept past, and Hei Wu Jue’s head rolled to the ground.
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing [Hei Wu Jue], gaining 8 experience points.]
[System Prompt: Detected that [Hei Wu Jue] is human, [Green Demon Blood] bloodline talent triggered.]
[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for increasing the max life value by 8000 points.]
[System Prompt: Human race’s internecine conflict, grievance converging to form evil qi, entwined upon oneself.]
[Life: 190616/190616.]
His blood volume suddenly surged.
As for the evil qi, it only fluctuated slightly before being completely absorbed by the Dragon Soul Seal.
Chen Yunyun seemed to sense something, or perhaps didn’t sense anything, as she slightly opened her mouth, then scratched her head in confusion.
Fang Yu saw all her reactions, and his heart stirred.
Does Chen Yunyun’s special constitution have a certain sensitivity to evil qi?
"Husband, we should go see our old friend now."
Ding Hui stepped forward, taking Fang Yu’s hand.
Fang Yu nodded and looked at Chen Yunyun, who already understood and walked ahead to lead the way.
Ding Hui’s voice also transmitted into Fang Yu’s mind at this moment.
"Husband, what were you thinking about just now?"
What was he thinking about?
Of course, he was considering the statement that everyone is a Spirit Slave.
In a certain sense... the native inhabitants of the Seeking Demon World, invaded and dominated by players from Blue Star, aren’t they... a different kind of Spirit Slave?
