Chapter 224

After only a slight thought, Fen Wu quickly figured out the crux of the matter: "Yu Zi Qian has already opened the almanac and is using the rules of She Shen Zhao to seek good fortune and avoid disaster, offsetting the bad luck I brought."

He picked up the work badge hanging on the tree branch and examined it by the moonlight. He did not hang it back, but casually threw it into the bushes on the side, then pulled out the wooden stick that Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe had stuck in the ground to serve as a tombstone and stuck it under another tree.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Fen Wu did not mind causing some trouble for Yu Zi Qian.

After all, the subsequent game would be directly linked to "luck."

Fen Wu looked back at the high prison wall behind him and whispered: "Calculating the time, it's about time."

A gust of wind suddenly blew through the Chenyu Valley at night, whipping the forest into rolling green waves. The tree beside Fen Wu also swayed in the wind. With a crack, an arm-thick dead branch suddenly snapped and fell down, hitting him squarely and leaving him bloodied.

"..."

Clutching his blood-dripping back of the head, Fen Wu stood up without a word. He did not curse, nor did he complain; he had long been accustomed to being unlucky.

"But you will be unluckier than me, Yu Zi Qian..." Fen Wu whispered, leaving the cenotaph under the tree.

At the same time, inside the prison, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe pushed open the door and walked into a single cell, dragging out a half-dead prisoner from inside.

"Are you sure it was a prison guard who opened the cell door?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe asked the prisoner in the neighboring cell.

"Yes, yes, that's right... everyone saw it. There was a prison guard who seemed not to be afraid of the ghost at all. He walked up to that ghostly thing and untied the rope for it..." the prisoner answered stammeringly: "After untying the rope for that ghostly thing, that prison guard came to this cell, went inside, and I don't know what he said to Old Wang, and then Old Wang became like this..."

Old Wang is the name of this half-dead prisoner.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe put down the gun that was pointing at the prisoner next door and tucked it back into his waist. He freed a hand to pry open Old Wang's eyes. The eyeballs under the eyelids were rotating unconsciously, as if he were dreaming.

"What did Fen Wu do to him?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe put Old Wang down, his heart full of doubts.

This Old Wang was a new prisoner who had just been locked up here last month. Like Old Li, he had also walked the extreme path of murder and ended up in prison due to the influence of the Thought Steel Seal. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe had already stolen the identity of "the God who cannot be looked at in Old Wang's cognition" from him a few days ago.

But just a short while ago, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe felt through Tai Yi that this identity had disappeared.

There are two possibilities for this situation: either Old Wang no longer thinks he is "the God who cannot be looked at," or Old Wang is dead.

The first possibility is unlikely, because Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe had long ago solidified this cognition of Old Wang into a Thought Steel Seal. Although the rules simulated by Tai Yi are not as extreme and absolute as a real ghost, they are by no means easily changed.

The second possibility is also not correct, because Old Wang is not dead.

He is still alive, just asleep... if the current state can also be called sleep.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe drew his dagger and stabbed it into Old Wang's thigh, deliberately avoiding the blood vessels, the entire blade sinking completely into the flesh.

Old Wang's body twitched, and his thigh went into spasms. This was a biological instinctual nerve reaction, but apart from that, there was no other reaction. He let the blood flow down the blade and drip onto the ground, with no sign of waking up at all.

"What on earth did Fen Wu do to him?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe had no clue.

According to the description of the prisoner in the neighboring cell, after Fen Wu entered this cell, he only said a few words to Old Wang.

A few short sentences not only made the Thought Steel Seal that Tai Yi had imposed on Old Wang disappear, but also made him fall into this death-like slumber from which he could not wake up... The feeling of being unable to figure it out was maddening.

"And..." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe put down the dead-asleep Old Wang and looked at the prisoner in the neighboring cell who was looking at him eagerly: "Why didn't Fen Wu kill them?"

The prisoner in the neighboring cell had indirectly witnessed him doing certain things to Old Wang through the wall. Perhaps he didn't see it directly, but Gridders treat information as life. Thinking from another perspective, if Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe himself were Fen Wu, he would definitely kill everyone in the prison to silence them.

But Fen Wu did not. Not only did he not kill the indirect witnesses in the surrounding cells, he didn't even kill Old Wang, who was directly affected. "Fen Wu deliberately spared these people's lives; why on earth is this?"

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe threw the dead-asleep Old Wang back onto the bed and walked along the corridor past one cell after another. The prisoners inside looked at the mask on his face and the gun in his hand, each one of them trembling with fear.

Old Wang was not the only one who was dead-asleep. In every single cell where the door was open, the prisoners whom Fen Wu had approached had fallen into the same state, sleeping as soundly as the dead.

These prisoners had one thing in common—they had all been locked into the Chenyu Valley Prison in the last two months.

"Fen Wu vaguely knows why I came to this prison, but it's very vague, and he doesn't know the specific details." Thinking of this, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe felt a little more relaxed.

Because although there were many prisoners locked in the prison in the last two months, not all of them were affected by "the God who cannot be looked at"; some of them were just purely evil.

These people who had not been bewitched by the Thought Steel Seal, but had committed crimes simply because of their own wicked nature, and happened to be sentenced to prison in the last two months, were still indiscriminately pulled into the same "dead sleep" state by Fen Wu, even without being affected by the God.

"This shows that Fen Wu does not know the specific rules of the God who cannot be looked at. He only obtained some information through other channels and vaguely knows that my purpose for coming here is for these prisoners, but he does not know the real underlying reason."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at the wristwatch on his hand: 22:31.

There were less than 2 hours left until midnight.

Looking around at the prisoners in each cell who were staring at him either openly or secretly, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe had a feeling:

"That reversal ghost might just be a smokescreen, a smokescreen used to attract my attention, making me unable to take care of myself and unable to pay attention to what is happening in the prison."

"The 'certain' specific actions Fen Wu took in this prison might be the means he is truly using to deal with me..."

But what on earth did he do? Making the prisoners locked in the prison in the last two months sleep soundly without waking up, does this have any substantial impact on me?

Indeed it does, but not much.

Losing the identity would indeed make Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe unable to advance his plan to harness the God who cannot be looked at, but to say that it would immediately threaten his life, that really isn't the case.

Bearing the rules simulated by Tai Yi, as well as the observation of the Four-Faced Buddha, even if he cannot harness the God in the short term, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe would not immediately face a life-and-death crisis of losing himself; it's just that the countdown to death has become a little shorter.

So why did Fen Wu deliberately spare the lives of these prisoners?

What on earth do these prisoners have that can threaten him?

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was pondering when, suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from behind him.

"Zi Qian?"

It was a voice very familiar to Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, the voice of Zhang Yunwen.

The moment he heard this voice, an uncontrollable impulse surged in Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's heart. He turned his head abruptly and looked behind him.

The empty prison corridor was empty, with only a gust of cold wind quietly blowing past his shoulder.

He died.

At the moment of death, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe figured out the answer to this question:

Is there really anything about these prisoners that can threaten my life?

There is.

They witnessed the reversal ghost killing the prison guard, and they also witnessed Fen Wu's actions.

The thousands of prisoners locked in the Chenyu Valley Prison, without exception, all know of the existence of the "Strange."
