My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 865: The Lord's Commission in Mourning
"The old Ripper is threatening you out of anger. He used to be an anatomy teacher at a medical school. He disemboweled countless bodies in his life and made specimens of many people's internal organs."

"It has threatened you now. If it really has the chance, it will definitely kill you without hesitation and then use the most brutal means to make you into a specimen."

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Will you give in and release the old Ripper from prison? Or will you just ignore him and let him scream and shout in prison?"

"The old Ripper's insults became more and more unbearable to the ears. Gradually, the target of the insults shifted from you to the Lord in mourning, and then to others."

"The old Ripper said that he was deceived by someone. At the beginning, that person clearly promised him that he would handle all matters and would not let him go to jail."

"But in the end, it was all a scam. That person never fulfilled his promise. You asked the old Ripper who that person was, but he didn't say a word. He just watched you spit out foul language. The language was so bad and the words were so filthy that it's hard to describe it in words."

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and decided to let the old guy out first.

If it is locked up in prison, it would be difficult to deal with it. It will be easier to deal with it if it is released. First, use the punishment of burning it with fire to whet its appetite, then use the mountain man's enlightenment to remind it of its past, and finally use the soul-searching technique to read its memory.

Jiang's one-stop service guarantees clear service and has received rave reviews! !

"You chose to release the old Ripper."

"You used the seal in your hand to open the shackles of the cell door, and let him out in fear. The other people in the cell saw you, then looked at the old Ripper, then shrank to the corner and did not come out with you."

"These people are not stupid. They are smart. They will not be so naive as to think that you let the people out because of the words of the old Ripper. They saw clearly the way you dealt with the mourners just now. You are definitely not an ordinary quack. If they really think you are a coward, you will die miserably!"

"But those involved are often confused, while those who are watching can see things more clearly. The old Ripper didn't realize this. Maybe he was confused, or maybe he was overwhelmed by the joy of being freed. In any case, he thought you were frightened by him, so he immediately walked out of the prison in a haughty manner. He came to you and wanted to show off his power. He raised his hand and wanted to slap you in the face."

"But just as he raised his hands, before he could put them down, two brass chains suddenly appeared from behind him, spreading and flying like dragons and snakes, wrapping around the old Ripper like a cocoon, and tied him to the brass pillar tightly!"

"Suddenly faced with this change, the old Ripper was startled at first, and then he immediately shouted at you to find a way to save it immediately. The old Ripper thought that the method left by the mourning master had taken effect, and he didn't realize that it was you who did it."

"Fortunately, although it is confused, it is not completely confused. When it saw your calm and nonchalant look, it felt that something was wrong."

"You have activated the pillar of fire."

"The Burning Pillar of Fire is the embodiment of your authority as the King of the Underworld. It can not only burn and roast physical matter, but can also cause great pain and torture to the soul and spirit."

"The old Ripper was caught off guard, and felt a burning pain that went straight to the depths of his soul, suddenly rising from within his body, as if it was going to burn him completely to ashes and charcoal."

"Although this feeling was strong, the burning force was not that strong. It was like cutting meat with a blunt knife. It didn't give it a quick end at all!"

"The old Ripper's screams filled the entire Disaster Prison, frightening those who saw it and terrified those who heard it. The old Ripper finally realized that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended."

"It didn't expect that a timid young man who seemed to be easily controlled actually possessed such a terrifying magical weapon, and could torture people without blinking an eye. It couldn't help but beg for mercy from you, hoping that you would spare its life or simply burn it to death."

"What are you going to choose now?"

"Will you continue to torture him for a while to vent your anger at being insulted? Or will you take him down from the torture stake? Or, will you just let his soul fly away?"

The game gives three options.

Jiang Xinghuo chose the first one without hesitation.

Of course, this is definitely not because the old man was rude.

Absolutely not!

"You chose to continue to activate the burning pillar. The copper pillar will gradually heat up, which will ensure that the old Ripper's skin and flesh will be torn apart, and his bones and tendons will be rotten, but his internal organs will never be damaged, and the old Ripper's vitality will not be cut off because of the torture."

"This feeling of being unable to live or die was unbearable for the old Ripper, and he kept wailing."

"As time goes by, you feel that the time is right. What are your plans next?"

"Would you choose to burn the old Ripper to ashes? Or would you choose to let him down from the stake?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter this time.

If he wanted to kill the old Ripper, he would have burned him to ashes long ago and would never have chosen to use such torture.

The reason he did this was to make it behave itself and tell him what it wanted to know. Of course, the more important reason was to cure its foul mouth! !
"You lowered the old Ripper from the burning pillar, looked at his scorched and festering body, and asked him who the person he just mentioned was. At the same time, you also passed a little bit of Mo Long A Tai's aura into him, alleviating his pain and injuries."

"The old Ripper took a deep breath and his attitude changed drastically. He knew that you were not something he could control, so he answered all your questions without hesitation."

"The old Ripper said that he didn't know the man. He only knew that the other person had a high level of cultivation. He used the dream-entering method to appear in his dream and said that he could help him escape from the Disaster Prison, but he needed him to do one thing."

"That is to find a way to dig down 9981 bricks from the wall of the Disaster Prison. Then, use the teleportation talisman to send them away. Then, you can be freed from this prison without seeing the sun."

"The old Ripper didn't know what the man looked like, but in order to escape from here, he agreed to the other party's request and began to dig the bricks and stones in the Disaster Prison using the method the other party told him."

"But because digging out the bricks and stones of the Disaster Prison requires a lot of energy and blood, the old Ripper has only collected half of the bricks and stones after spending so many years."

Looking at the content of the game text, Jiang Xinghuo thought about it carefully and activated the abilities of the mountain man's enlightenment and soul-searching technique.

"You have activated the Mountain Man's Enlightenment." "You have activated the Soul Searching Technique."

"You placed your hand on the old Ripper's head and mercilessly used the soul-searching technique, without any regard for whether the old Ripper could withstand it."

"Fragments of memory flashed through your mind, and you realized that the old Ripper was not lying. He really didn't know who that person was, and the remaining memories in his mind were limited to his dreams."

"But you didn't gain nothing. At least you know that someone is playing tricks here, and you also got the method of mining bricks and stones, as well as the method of making teleportation talismans. If you follow the clues, you may gain something."

"The old Ripper has lost its value. What are you going to do with it now? Burn it to ashes? Or throw it back into the cell and let it die?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and was about to choose a fire to burn it to ashes, but the interactive option of the game suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a new text content.

"When you were about to burn the old Ripper to death, the young medical officer who had been hiding in the corner of the cell suddenly rescued the old Ripper. This sudden scene caught you off guard, but when you looked at the young medical officer, you found that his identity was not as simple as it seemed."

"You have triggered the Sky-Watcher's Eye."

"You have discovered the matrix clone of the Lord in mourning."

"The matrix clones of the Lord in Sackcloth-Mourning. After the destruction of the old world, the Lord in Sackcloth-Mourning's main body was seriously injured and fell into a deep sleep, but he left behind many matrix clones. The strength of these clones is not strong, and can even be called weak. The only thing that is worthy of praise is that there are enough of them to spread the inheritance of the Lord in Sackcloth-Mourning."

"Moreover, if the original body of the Lord in Mourning encounters an accident, he can come back to life in these clones at any time without worrying about his life. The young medical officer in front of you is one of the clones."

Jiang Xinghuo was deeply surprised. He did not expect that this young medical officer was actually the incarnation of the Lord in mourning. Doesn't that mean that everything he did was seen by the other party?

Fortunately, this young medical officer’s skills are not very high, so if he really turns against me, he won’t be helpless.

These thoughts flashed through Jiang Xinghuo's mind one after another, and then he tapped the screen and continued to scroll down the text content.

"The young medical officer rescued the old Ripper and said that you can't kill him now because there's still one person missing. If you find that person, not only the old Ripper, but also all the people in the Disaster Prison can be handed over to you. Anyway, it promised to find those dead souls and send them back to the underworld. There is no rule as to which king of the underworld to hand them over to."

"The young medical officer recognized your identity. Although you are a living person walking in the world of the living, your aura should not be too obvious to a master in mourning who has dealt with the king of the underworld. Especially your burning pillar of fire, which further proves your identity."

"Although the little medical officer is only a clone of the master in mourning, his memory is the same as the original. If you can find the last person, all the people in the Disaster Prison will be yours."

Seeing this, Jiang Xinghuo immediately thought of the executioner in the Grandma Temple. As the plot of the game progressed to this point, he was almost certain that the old executioner's identity was the last person mentioned by the young medical officer.

But before sufficient evidence is found, there is no way to trigger the relevant options, and the only way is to try to find evidence.

"You told the young medical officer about the old executioner. The young medical officer said that it also suspected that the old executioner was the last person who escaped, but its real body was sleeping. With just a few matrix clones, it could not do anything to the old executioner who inherited the power of the mountain god and was proficient in the killing method of the criminal sect."

"Besides, it's just a suspicion now and there's not enough evidence to prove this. The reason it hid here was because it sensed the old Ripper's behavior and deliberately entered the cell to monitor him. But the other party was too vigilant and never showed his face. He only talked to the old Ripper in his dreams. So, the little medical officer hopes that you can find the last person. Then the entire Disaster Prison and the prisoners in it will be your spoils, and he can also be freed from the underworld contract."

"Do you want to accept the commission from the little medical officer? To find the last person who escaped?"

Jiang Xinghuo agreed to the other party's commission without hesitation. Although he was now the king of the underworld in name, his own volcanic hell was empty. Except for a few homegrown monsters and ghosts, there were no other souls at all.

If the Lord in mourning can really send the 100,000 souls in the prison of disaster to himself, I am afraid that it will not take long for the landmark to be established.

"You have accepted the commission of the Lord in mourning."

"The Lord has promised to give you everything after the mission is accomplished, but whether you can find the last person depends on your ability."

"What are you going to choose next?"

"Will you leave here and go to the Grandma Temple to see if the old executioner is the person you are looking for? Or will you stay here and take a look around?"

Jiang Xinghuo pondered in his mind, since that person wanted the Old Ripper in the dream, he could take out the bricks and stones of the Disaster Prison and send them to it, maybe he could start from here.

"You chose to stay here and heal the old Ripper's wounds, so that he would hand over the bricks and stones on his body."

"You have obtained the bricks and stones of the Prison of Disaster +40."

Jiang Xinghuo collected the bricks and stones, then controlled the character to leave the Disaster Prison.

"Please choose where you would like to go next?"

"You chose, Soul Street."

"On the way, please wait..."

"You have triggered the Qilin Blessing."

"Your luck has been greatly improved."

"When you were passing through an alley, you suddenly felt the tiger whisker bracelet on your wrist vibrating continuously, as if it was guiding you to a certain place. Do you want to follow the guidance and go over to find out?"

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows slightly and chose yes.

"You changed direction and walked in the direction indicated by the tiger whisker bracelet. Soon you arrived in front of a dead person's house..."
