Ishina's face suddenly became extremely distorted, as if it had been hit by an oil drill and then spun several times.
Jiang Lu's original intention was to cover up his recent ruthless behavior and then make plans.
So when he heard Ishina actually call out "Brother", he was stunned.
You didn't really scream?
Seeing that Jiang Lu was still standing there in a daze after satisfying his eccentric hobby, Yi Hina became anxious: "Brother, hurry up, the curse has been half broken, and He may find out at any time. If I don't recover my strength and create some fog to cover it up, something serious will happen!"
"Uh... is it that serious, okay."
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Jiang Lu put on the evil god's left hand again, squatted behind Ishina, and started to break the statue with a crackling sound.
The big hole that was dug out earlier reduced the workload drastically.
Soon, Ishina's lower body was able to move within a small range, and after a while, she was completely free from the shackles of the curse.
"Thank you." Yishina looked at Jiang Lu with a complicated expression, and then said solemnly: "My liberation is only the first step. There will be a lot of trouble in the future. You should go and rest now. After I finish here, we can have a good talk."
"How long will it take? I need your help with something." Jiang Lu thought of the second task and thought about asking Yishina to just cheat and release everyone.
"Come over after twelve o'clock at night."
"At night..." Jiang Lu said awkwardly, "How can I come if there is a curfew after twelve o'clock?"
Not knowing whether he really didn't react or was teasing her again, Ishina angrily hit his forehead hard.
"Tower of Redemption, I have the final say!"
Chapter 21: Any unexpected gains?
After getting involved in the upper level, the Supervisor Robe opened up the authority to Jiang Lu.
This means no more walking back.
After agreeing on a meeting time, Jiang Lu returned to the Supervisor's Hall with a heavy heart.
When Ghost-Faced Fox and the others saw that Jiang Lu had not returned yet, they went to look for him, but found that he was nowhere to be found in the lower prison area or the archives room, and they were almost going crazy with anxiety.
"You are finally back!"
The ghost-faced fox breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Dao's tense heart finally relaxed.
Jiang Lu looked around and asked, "Where's the heavy artillery?"
"I went to look for you nearby, but you haven't come back yet."
"Oh...he's looking for me." Jiang Lu was suddenly flattered.
At this moment, a heavy voice came from the gate: "You are finally back!"
Turning back, Jiang Lu found that it was the heavy artillery, and nodded: "One foot in front, one foot behind."
"We are almost going crazy with anxiety." Chongpao finally put down the stone in his heart and sat down on the sofa.
"No." Jiang Lu was a little confused: "Didn't you receive any notification about my successful redemption? I thought you all got it."
"Got it." The ghost-faced fox had a complicated expression: "That's why I'm worried."
Now Jiang Lu was even more confused.
Heavy Artillery explained: "When we first received the good news from you, we were indeed very surprised and delighted, but you didn't come back, so we thought about looking for you.
When we got to the archives room, you weren't there, and we felt something was wrong.
Then the Ghost-Faced Fox suddenly discovered that in addition to the cabinets storing the prisoner files, there was also a cabinet storing the Black Tower information that had been tampered with.
We found that one of the documents was a record of the entry and exit of files. In the entire record, almost every time a prisoner was imprisoned in the previous second, he would enter heaven in the next second.
So we suspected at the time that you discovered this, and then tried it on yourself and successfully completed the redemption.
Although there were no prisoners in the last record you created, we don’t know where you went, so we are worried..."
The ghost-faced fox laughed at himself and said, "I should have thought of it earlier. I felt something was wrong when Heavy Artillery said that the prisoner had murderous intentions towards him this morning. It was not until I entered the archive room again and found the traces you left behind that I suddenly realized it."
Jiang Lu felt that it was a bit against the will of heaven.
What on earth have I done to make them have this illusion and think that I am such a hardworking, selfless and selfless person?
"I did find out, but I didn't go to that extent..."
"So what did you do?"
Several people were very curious about how Jiang Lu successfully redeemed himself.
"This..." Jiang Lu was a little reluctant to recall, but since everyone asked so...
"Let me confirm first. None of you should be under the age of eighteen, right?"
The three of them were stunned, not understanding what was going on, but still shook their heads.
"That guy was a masochist. I insulted him and whipped him at the same time. He felt so good that he was in heaven." Jiang Lu said seriously.
After hearing his answer, the three of them stared at each other, and the air fell into a brief silence for a moment.
"Forget it." Ghost-faced Fox smoothed things over for him: "Since Brother Jiang is unwilling to talk, we won't ask. As long as we can successfully conquer this spiritual realm, it will be fine. Now it seems that we have succeeded for the most part."
Oh no, I'm not telling the truth...
Jiang Lu felt tired.
These days, no one believes the truth.
Never mind, I'm too lazy to explain...
"But unfortunately." Ghost Face Fox said with some worry: "Although the probability of what we found is correct, I checked the panel immediately at that time, and the mission objective was not updated just because you completed the redemption. In other words, the key is not here."
After a pause, he said in a heavy tone, "I now suspect that we can only crack the secret of the Black Tower if we enter the upper level. I just don't know how to overcome the obstacle of the messenger... Alas."
Before Jiang Lu came back, they discussed it for a long time but still had no clue.
This bad news made them not feel too happy even when facing Jiang Lu's success.
"Uh...is this true?" Jiang Lu looked puzzled: "I have updated it here."
"What's updated?" several people asked.
"Mission target, my second mission has already come out."
Heavy Artillery reopened the panel suspiciously, followed by ecstasy.
“Really updated!”
The ghost-faced fox looked at the panel and looked at Jiang Lu in shock: "It was not there two hours ago, what did you do?"
The three of them were just looking for Jiang Lu from beginning to end and did not dare to do anything else. So the only possibility was that Jiang Lu discovered something during this time.
"Ah, nothing much, just asked someone about it."
"Who?" Ghost-faced Fox asked, "Messenger?"
Jiang Lu shook his head and said lightly: "No, I asked the God of Redemption directly."
"..."
A brief lag.
"Who?! Who are you talking about?!" Ghost-faced Fox and Heavy Artillery exclaimed in unison. Liu Dao didn't say anything, but his eyes were wide open.
In their view, the spiritual realm of "Infinite Prison" is a pure puzzle spiritual realm, and NPCs like messengers are invincible, so they are so troubled about how to avoid the messenger and find the secret of the black tower.
The pressure brought to them by the messenger alone is already enormous enough.
Who knows that while they are still thinking about the messenger, Jiang Lu has already come into contact with the existence of a higher dimension that the messenger reveres.
The shock and frustration this brought to them was undoubtedly huge.
"The God of Redemption." Jiang Lu relied on the fact that his teammates could not possibly redeem him, so he lied without blushing or beating his heart: "After completing the redemption, I got the opportunity to meet the God of Redemption, and was directly teleported to the upper level.
She saw that I had a good figure and wanted to give me a promotion, but I always remembered the original purpose of our coming here, so I refused.
Of course, she didn’t want to miss out on a talent like me, so she played the emotional card with me and told me the secret of this black tower…”
Jiang Lu repeated the story that Yishina told him, picking out the key points, so that everyone knew what was going on.
After listening to this, Ghost-faced Fox suddenly realized: "No wonder the parrot at the door of the archive room keeps repeating that sentence... Repentance and redemption, it turns out that it is not the two words repentance and redemption, but that the former supervisors, when they finally discovered this, repented and redeemed those prisoners?"
"?" Jiang Lu turned into a sweaty soybean: "That's enough. Is it interesting to over-interpret it?"
"Are these sixteen exorcists still alive..." Liu Dao murmured.
"Not only is he alive, but he is in the Black Tower. I guess this spiritual realm is a little special. I'm afraid everyone entered the same place, only the timeline is different. This also explains why the mission background specifically mentioned that we are the seventh batch of supervisors and the issue of time flow."
Jiang Lu gets angry whenever he mentions this matter. Who could have thought that this would be the case?
The control panel is like my mother has died. They have to wait until the first task is completed before giving the second task. Now there is an extra page in the household registration book. How can I be an invincible orphan in the future?
Ah...bonds...ah...marriage...
The sudden good news and huge amount of information made even the Ghost-Faced Fox a little confused for a while.
After a long while, he sighed: "If that's the case, these exorcists may have been here for many years. After all, the rate of time is 1:1000. According to the time when the spirit realm appeared, the people who were trapped here at the beginning have been trapped for almost ten years..."
"Damn, I'm so envious. It's like they've lived ten more years." Jiang Lu said indignantly.
Liu Dao looked at Jiang Lu silently, with an expression that seemed to say "Are you serious?"
At this moment, the ghost-faced fox suddenly asked:
"You just said that you will go to see the God of Redemption tonight to discuss rescuing the exorcist?"
Jiang Lu nodded: "Yeah."
Hearing this, the Ghost-faced Fox seemed to have made a decision. He took out a gold coin from the inventory and handed it to Jiang Lu.
He smiled bitterly and said, “We are obviously a team, but you ended up doing everything by yourself. I am really ashamed.
Don't you have any life-saving props? I don't have anything valuable on me, so I'll give this to you.
Although I heard you say that the God of Redemption has a crush on you, she is an unpredictable existence after all. Just in case, even if you can get through this time, if something unexpected happens the next time you enter the spirit realm alone, you can still save your life."
Even though Chong Pao and Liu Dao deliberately averted their gaze from the resurrection coin, they could not hide the envy in their eyes.
The Ghost-Faced Fox's behavior was beyond their expectations, but also reasonable.
