Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 888 Crescent Moon in the Belly
In the control room, Wu Xian sat in a chair, deep in thought.

Based on the information gathered so far, the method to revive newcomers is most likely to be found in the water dungeon.

The water prison was not far from Wu Xian, just across from the small square.

Wu Xian only needs to open the door behind the transfer space and cross the small square to easily reach the other side, where he can use the key he obtained from the Su residence to open the antique-style wooden door.

However, getting through the small square was not an easy task. The small square was guarded by a prisoner woman whose strength was unknown but whose presence was very oppressive. The puppets on the east side of the second floor told Wu Xian that even though the prisoner woman was patrolling the streets on the second floor, the small square was still very dangerous.

Wu Xian believed that the way to avoid the prisoner without getting hurt was hidden somewhere in the exhibition hall.

But it was already past 2 a.m.

Large areas of the exhibition hall remain unknown; only one of the seven treasures has been found; and of the more than twenty newcomers, only Liu Nana survives in the cage below.

Wu Xian had less than three hours left!
He had no time to explore at his leisure; he had to enter the water prison as quickly as possible.

Therefore, Wu Xian chose the shortest path.

This inevitably means he'll have to fight the prisoner head-on.

The powers Wu Xian can utilize in this blessed land include the Celestial-grade talisman - True Sun Fire Talisman, the Rare-grade spell talisman - Fire Department Divine General Technique, the Rare-grade incantation talisman - Exorcising Evil and Breaking Demonic Incantation, as well as the Burning Dream Dagger and the two crescent moon marks on the back of his hand...

To subdue the prisoner, the Burning Dream Dagger and the Crescent Moon Mark alone are definitely not enough.

Wu Xian originally intended to save the three talismans brought in through the constant position for the final boss, but now it seems he has no choice but to use them in advance.

……

The iron gate was opened slightly.

Wu Xian tiptoed out, looked up and saw no prisoner hanging above the square. Then he looked to the left of the square and saw a red light flashing on the roof of a building.

It seems the prisoner is messing with those dolls.

Wu Xian glanced at the red light and moved forward furtively. There were some food stalls in the square, which he used as cover for each of his actions.

Although we are prepared for battle, it would be better to avoid it if possible.

A strong stench of blood permeated the vicinity of the food stalls. There were at least thirty corpses lying there, including tourists and food stall owners. Each corpse had a terrified expression and deep ligature marks on its neck.

These people must have been instantly killed by the prisoner woman as soon as the incident began, because some of them hadn't even dropped their spatulas or barbecue skewers.

Seeing this, Wu Xian quickly adjusted the dark red scarf around his neck. If he were suddenly hoisted up by ropes, the scarf would at least provide some cushioning.

Using the food stalls as cover, Wu Xian sneaked all the way to the middle of the square. The position of the red light didn't change much, which meant that the prisoner hadn't noticed him.

Was the doll deceiving him?

What traps or mechanisms will be triggered when passing through the gates on the left and right sides of the square?
"Injustice!"

Just when Wu Xian thought he could pass through smoothly, a female corpse behind him suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream.

The sudden sound startled Wu Xian, making him tremble.

He swiftly drew the Burning Dream Dagger and slashed backward, cutting the corpse's throat and silencing her screams.

But after her, all the corpses in the square emitted the same cry. These sounds came from different throats, but the cry of each corpse was exactly the same as the cry of the prisoner Su Qishi that Wu Xian heard in the black and white images when she was being executed!
"Injustice!"

"Injustice!"

"injustice……"

Countless overlapping cries of injustice, like demonic sounds, made Wu Xian dizzy. When he finally managed to recover from the dizziness, he found a white silk ribbon hanging around his neck!
This white silk ribbon wasn't just hung around his neck, but also around the necks of all the corpses.

The moment Wu Xian discovered the white silk ribbon, he grabbed it with his left arm.

call!
The next second, Bai Ling was lifted up by a tremendous force, and all the corpses in the square, along with Wu Xian, were pulled up at the same time.

The scene was like a weaker version of an empty-stomached, hanging corpse!
Even though the corpses were hanging there, they kept screaming their innocence at Wu Xian in terror, and there was a chilling noise all around, as if they were in a painting of hell.

For an ordinary person, hanging like that would break their cervical spine.

However, Wu Xian had already been on guard against this. He used his left hand, which was holding the white silk, to cushion the force, and the fire tongue scarf also provided some protection, so he did not even feel faint.

Wu Xian swung his burning dagger with his right hand, severing the white silk ribbon around his neck, and landed smoothly from mid-air.

After landing, Wu Xian looked up and saw a red light rushing towards him!

The prisoner's limbs swung rapidly, the chains beneath her clanging together, her eyes widened, her mouth gaped open revealing a dark, gaping cavity, and the red light above her body writhed wildly like an eel. In the blink of an eye, she rushed from one side of the street to Wu Xian's front!
Wu Xian, who had just landed, only had time to throw a spell at the imprisoned woman.

"Exorcising and Dispelling Evil Incantation!"

boom!
A golden shockwave bearing Taoist runes exploded between Wu Xian and the imprisoned woman.

The prisoner's face was charred black by the golden light, her body rolled on the ground, her hands covering her face and her legs kicking and thrashing violently due to the intense pain.

This is a rare spell that hits right in the face! One shot can melt three hanging corpses and intimidate the hundreds of hanging corpses on the first floor!
But is this all the extent that was used to hit the prisoner?
Wu Xian was hit by the shockwave of the curse and the prisoner, and rolled several times on the ground like a pangolin before he managed to steady himself on one knee.

Seeing that the prisoner's injuries were serious, he pushed off the ground with his kneeling legs and rushed to her side. He grabbed the Burning Dream Dagger with both hands and forcefully stabbed it into the chest of the struggling prisoner!

The Dream-Burning Dagger, which had been enhanced once, possessed extremely high heat. After piercing the prisoner's body, it roasted her flesh until it emitted white steam.

"I'm innocent! Ahhh!"

The prisoner screamed, her limbs even cracking the floor as she pounded on it. The red light on her body intensified, and the areas of Wu Xian's body illuminated by the red light felt as if insects were gnawing at them.

The blow was not fatal to the imprisoned woman; it merely enraged her.

The white silk ribbon descended from the sky once more, not only binding Wu Xian's neck but also his limbs!

But Wu Xianben never intended to kill the prisoner with the Burning Dream Dagger!
Before being pulled up, he whispered three words:
"Crescent Slash!"

Wu Xian consumed one Crescent Moon Mark and released a Crescent Moon Slash through the Burning Dream Dagger inside the prisoner's body!

This crescent-shaped energy blade appeared out of thin air in the prisoner's body. One end of the crescent pierced out of her mouth, and the other end pierced out of her abdomen. The pale blue light blade was also wrapped with the flames of the Burning Dream Dagger, presenting a magnificent deep purple color!

After the Crescent Moon Slash, the prisoner's hands and feet finally stopped struggling.
