Chapter 2168 Mysterious Experiment
"Mr. He Zhou, our Lady Joanna is waiting for you."

The woman came up to He Zhou and said.

He Zhou stood up.

"Take me there."

"Come on, this way."

The woman took He Zhou to find Joanna.

Everything went smoothly and He Zhou met Joanna at the same place as last time.

The only difference from last time was that this time Joanna seemed to be in a bad state and looked like she was worried about something.

He Zhou stepped forward and said, "Joanna."

"You're here again, what's the matter this time?"

Joanna looked at He Zhou and asked.

Joanna was naturally a clone at this time, so she didn't have a good face towards He Zhou.

He Zhou looked at Joanna and said, "I feel that things in the city have been a bit uneasy lately, so I came to ask you about it."

"Really? What's wrong with that?"

Joanna looked straight into He Zhou's eyes.

It seems that she really cares about what He Zhou said.

He Zhou guessed that Joanna probably wanted to see what she sensed that made him, an outsider, feel that there was unrest in the Holy City.

Maybe we can get some useful clues from it.

Of course, this was what He Zhou had expected.

When he came here, he felt that once he said this, it would definitely arouse Joanna's curiosity.

"It feels like there's something stirring beneath the surface. It looks like some kind of dispute is about to break out in this holy city, right?"

He Zhou asked.

"What did you see? Or what did you hear?"

Joanna asked directly.

She didn't want such a general answer, but hoped that He Zhou would tell her everything he saw or heard.

Only in this way could she better judge what was going on.

Seeing that Joanna was not willing to let him go easily, He Zhou said, "I heard that a lot of Holy Guards suddenly went to the sewers of the Holy City, and they also arrested a lot of people."

Bruning told him this.

The Holy Guards of the Holy Palace destroyed the rebellion base in the sewer, causing the rebellious Holy Guards led by the Holy Lord to have to find a new secret gathering point.

"sewer."

Joanna nodded slightly.

Of course she knew about the destruction of the secret base in the sewer.

So as soon as He Zhou said it, she knew what was going on.

"What else? What else did you hear?"

Joanna asked again.

"Nothing else." He Zhou shook his head.

Joanna asked, "How did you come to the conclusion that there are undercurrents in the Holy City based on this alone?"

He Zhou smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious? To send out so many Saint Guards to do something, it must be because the threat is huge. And the other party is hiding in the sewer, which shows that they also hope to hide better. This is enough to show that the struggle is very fierce."

"Well, you can use your brain."

Joanna asked no more questions.

In fact, the news could not be hidden. There were many low-class residents living in the sewers, and they would definitely spread the news.

It is normal for people like He Zhou to make some guesses after hearing about this.

Joanna didn't find it strange.

"So what exactly do you want to do by coming to see me?"

Joanna asked.

"I hope to know more about the situation in the city so as not to be affected." He Zhou said, using the words he had prepared long ago.

"Wait." Joanna asked in confusion, "If you don't want to be affected, then the best option is to leave the Holy City. Why do you want to know the situation in the city? What are you going to do?"

The situation in the city is serious now, and there are rebellious Holy Guards preparing to rebel.

So Joanna was always nervous.

As soon as He Zhou stated his intention, she immediately began to think deeply and complicatedly.

"I'm not planning on doing anything." He Zhou shook his head. "I just want to stay alive. As for leaving the Holy City, is that difficult?"

"The difficulty..." Joanna hesitated, "Of course it's not easy."

"Look, you said it yourself that it's not easy, so why am I still thinking in this direction?"

He Zhou smiled.

From these words, he could see that leaving the Holy City was indeed difficult.

Even Joanna, the favorite of the new Holy Lord, found it difficult to do so.

Another point is that since Joanna couldn't do it and still brought up the matter, it can be seen that Joanna is very sensitive about the rebellion of the Holy Guards in the Holy City at this moment.

"Tell me, what should I do to avoid being affected?"

He Zhou continued to ask.

The most important thing now is to seize the initiative.

This way, we can get more information out of Joanna.

After a moment of silence, Joanna said, "It's safest to stay in the Holy Palace."

"Then are you willing to take me in?"

He Zhou asked following Joanna's words.

He wanted to see how Joanna would answer.

Will he give the answer he wants?

Of course, whether there is an answer or not, it can be used to test Joanna.

Analyze some useful information from her attitude.

Joanna looked at He Zhou and said, "Do you want to become a Holy Guard of the Holy Palace?"

Hearing this, He Zhou was stunned.

Joanna's answer clearly exceeded his expectations.

He thought that Joanna would test him first, or just find an excuse to refuse and not give him any answer.

Unexpectedly, Joanna actually asked him directly if he wanted to become a Holy Guard.

This was completely beyond his expectations.

After a little thought, He Zhou nodded decisively and said, "If you can help me become a Holy Guard, then I will naturally be willing to do so."

He had been thinking about how to get close to the new Holy Lord and the giant eye above the Holy Palace.

It was extremely difficult for him to do these two things.

At least so far, he doesn't know how to start.

Unexpectedly, Joanna would ask him directly if he wanted to become a Holy Guard.

This is equivalent to giving He Zhou a clear solution.

As long as you become a Holy Guard, you will have the opportunity to get close to the new Holy Lord, and you will have a way to get close to the giant eye.

There is no doubt that if Joanna was not joking, then He Zhou would naturally be willing to do so.

Becoming a Holy Guard was a good thing for him.

"Of course I can find a way to make you a Holy Guard, but you will have to pay a price."

Joanna looked into He Zhou's eyes and said.

"What price?" He Zhou immediately became alert.

He suspected that Joanna had lied to him and that she could not help him become a Holy Guard.

That's why they say the price is so prohibitive.

Joanna stood up and said, "Normally, an outsider like you would never become a Holy Guard, but the Holy Palace is in urgent need of manpower, so masters like you have a chance. Of course, the price is not small, you must pass the test of the Holy Lord."

"What test?"

He Zhou continued to ask.

He felt that this test would definitely not be easy.

If the test is too difficult, then one will have to give up on becoming a Holy Guard.

Find another solution.

"The Holy Lord is currently conducting an experiment and needs some participants. As long as you are willing to become a participant, you can become a Holy Guardian."

Joanna said.

When He Zhou heard this, he immediately understood.

It seems that what Joanna called the experiment was the strange noises that had been coming from the Holy Palace.

Or to be more precise, those strange noises were caused by some kind of experiment that the new Holy Lord was conducting. "So they wanted me to be a test subject."

He Zhou nodded secretly.

I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I went from being a bystander to being a party to the incident.

The new Holy Lord was in urgent need of test subjects, which gave him the opportunity to become the Holy Lord.

Now I don’t know what this experiment is about.

How dangerous would it be to become a test subject?

He Zhou knew nothing about this.

The only thing he knew now was that Joanna didn't seem to be lying to him.

"This is indeed an opportunity for me. If I can become a Holy Guard, everything will go smoothly... but I will become a test subject."

He Zhou was very hesitant.

He didn't want to be a test subject.

In his opinion, this was definitely not a good thing.

Thinking of this, he asked, "What is the Holy Lord's test? Is it dangerous?"

"Whether it's dangerous or not depends on the situation. It may be dangerous for some people, but not necessarily for you." Joanna replied: "As for the content of the experiment, I can't tell you now unless you participate in it."

Hearing this, He Zhou became more hesitant.

He felt more and more that this was probably not a good thing.

Originally, he decided to trust Joanna because of his relationship with her.

But now he was a little unsure.

Maybe this Joanna is really lying to him.

"If you don't tell me the content of the experiment, then I can only refuse."

He Zhou said decisively.

Although becoming a Holy Guard has many benefits, he doesn't want to die in that experiment.

Or even if you don't die, it's not worth it to expose some of your secrets.

He Zhou would not do such a stupid thing.

"That's up to you."

Seeing that He Zhou disagreed, Joanna shook her head decisively.

It seemed that she didn't care whether He Zhou participated in the experiment or whether He Zhou became a Holy Guard.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Joanna asked.

He Zhou thought for a moment and said, "You really can't tell me about the situation in the Holy City?"

"No."

Joanna shook her head.

Seeing that she refused to speak, He Zhou decided to make a deal with her.

He decided to tell the story of the mysterious man.

Of course, telling this story is not just about the transaction, on the other hand, it is also to try to get more information from Joanna.

Perhaps Joanna also knows the existence of this mysterious man.

Without thinking any more, He Zhou said, "I actually have another thing that might interest you."

"what's up?"

Joanna looked at He Zhou and said.

He Zhou replied: "I met a mysterious man on the street. He was wearing a hood and his face could not be seen. The most important thing is that he could disappear out of thin air."

"What?" Joanna suddenly became interested. "What did you just say? Say it again!"

"I said I met a mysterious man on the street. He was wearing a hood and could disappear out of thin air." He Zhou replied.

"Disappear into thin air?"

Joanna looked at He Zhou deeply, as if she wanted to see directly into his heart through his eyes.

Obviously, she was very interested in the mysterious person mentioned by He Zhou.

He Zhou naturally saw this as well.

He knew that he already had the bargaining chips.

Next, you can use this mysterious man as a card to make a deal with Joanna.

"He Zhou."

While He Zhou was thinking, Joanna suddenly looked at He Zhou seriously and asked, "Did that mysterious man come to see you?"

"Find me?"

He Zhou was confused by Joanna's question.

But then he realized that Joanna really knew something.

"I didn't find me."

He Zhou shook his head decisively.

"Didn't look for you?"

Joanna looked at He Zhou in disbelief.

He Zhou could feel a sense of being cheated from his eyes.

In other words, Joanna thought he was lying to her.

He Zhou couldn't help but wonder why Joanna could see through this at a glance?
Joanna said, "The mysterious man you mentioned is related to our Holy Lord's experiment, so what I can tell you is that since you ran into him on the street, he will definitely come to you. Even if you didn't run into him by chance, as long as you knew of his existence from other channels, he would come to you."

Hearing this, He Zhou was stunned.

I did not meet the mysterious man by chance, but I heard about his existence from Masha.

The one who actually encountered the mysterious man was Masha.

Judging from what Joanna said now, as long as people heard about the existence of the mysterious man, they might be found by him.

that's the truth.

The mysterious man did find himself.

Although it was just a shadow.

But it is indeed the other party who is right.

"Now, do you still say that he never came to see you?" Joanna continued, "He Zhou, you can't lie to me about this. I only know more than you."

He Zhou was silent.

He didn't know how to tell Joanna anymore.

As Joanna said, she knew more than He Zhou.

There is no point in continuing to deceive.

What you need to do next is either tell the truth or stop here.

After thinking about it, He Zhou decided to just stop there.

Don't continue this topic with Joanna.

"Forget it. I'm leaving now."

He Zhou stood up and said.

"and many more."

Joanna stopped him and said, “You can’t leave.”

"how?"

He Zhou looked at Joanna.

Joanna said, "The Holy Guards outside should have told you before you came in. Now that you are in the Holy Palace, don't think about leaving easily, so you can't leave unless I let you go."

"Then can't you just let me go?" He Zhou asked vigilantly.

Joanna smiled and said, "I might have let you go, but now I can't. I won't let you leave the Holy Palace."

"What do you want to do?"

He Zhou asked.

Joanna said: "Now whether you are willing or not, you must participate in the Holy Lord's experiment."

"why?"

He Zhou already had a vague guess in his heart.

The change in Joanna's attitude is most likely related to that mysterious man.

Because he was targeted by that mysterious man, Joanna had to stay.

"You should have guessed the reason. It has something to do with that mysterious person."

Joanna said bluntly.

He Zhou frowned.

Joanna continued, "Even if I let you go now, the Holy Lord will never let you go, so you don't have to think too much. Just stay in the Holy Palace and cooperate with the Holy Lord's experiment. As long as you work hard, the Holy Lord will let you become a Holy Guard."

Her words were unquestionable, as if they were an order that He Zhou could not refute.
