Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 271 It's quite white, no, it's quite big

This country is called Daxuan.

At this moment, Li Zhongren is in Kyoto.

According to the memories given by the Lord God, this country gives people a feeling similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, with a relatively open atmosphere.

However, because it was the end of the dynasty, this openness evolved into a so-called debauchery and madness.

Especially as the economic and political center of the entire country.

Shangjing.

Even more so.

It is quite similar to Shanghai during the Republic of China period.

The world is full of decadence and material desires.

The common people were starving and had no food to eat, while the rich and powerful were reveling in the company of merchant girls on the banks of the Qiushui River every night.

And, it seems to be because of this.

Various strange events, which were not frequent to begin with, became more and more frequent as the court became more absurd.

And the sky prison where he was staying.

As the largest prison in the Daxuan Empire, one of its functions is to suppress all kinds of strange and evil spirits. It was created by the Daxuan Taizu back then.

In the early years, when politics was clear, most of the people imprisoned in this sky prison were humans.

But starting from the middle and late stages, more and more strange people were imprisoned here.

And people like them are the jailers or prison guards in the Sky Prison.

In a sense, it has become a consumable.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that those weirdos can escape from prison at any time.

The Sky Prison itself is very powerful. It is like a containment device, and it has a strong suppressive effect on the extraordinary power of this world. However, the price of this suppression is that there is a kind of aura permeating the Sky Prison.

It is similar to the negative energy and evil spirit often mentioned in novels.

If humans stay here for too long, their bodies will develop various problems. Simply put, their lifespan will be shortened.

However, this is just like how people in ancient times would become eunuchs in order to survive. In the last years of a dynasty, shortening one's lifespan was the last thing anyone cared about. After all, without food, no matter how long you lived, it would be useless.

In fact, this was also the case in Africa in the world before he traveled through time.

As we all know, AIDS is an untreatable virus. However, in Africa, no one takes it seriously. The reason is this: as long as I die before AIDS develops, it will not exist.

In that world of war, famine, and siege, a virus that kills people in their forties on average basically doesn’t have time to exert its power.

Therefore, the Heavenly Prison recruits jailers every year, because every year some jailers die from the erosion of the aura. But even though everyone knows that if you want to enter the Heavenly Prison, you still have to bribe people, otherwise, you can't get in. It's not because of anything else, but because there is a slower pace of life here.

Go to work, patrol, distribute meals, empty the toilet, and get off work
That's basically it.
In fact, many times, serving meals and emptying toilets are not necessary options. After all, the suppressed monsters do not need to eat or poop.

Only those who are alive can be like this.

The patrol mechanism inside the Heavenly Prison randomly assigns your patrol location every day.

Sometimes, you patrol people, and sometimes, you patrol weird things.

"Squeak~~"

The ninth floor.

Li Zhongren pushed the wooden dining cart and walked forward.

Today he was assigned to the third ring area of the ninth floor, which was the lowest level of the Heavenly Prison. The prisoners here were not terrifying or weird. On the contrary, they were all high-ranking people with special identities. It was almost similar to the Gongdelin?
Li Zhongren could only find that thing as an analogy.

It is safe, and it is safe.

It’s not safe, and it’s not safe.

After all, if you offend these people, if they get out one day, they can kill you with just one word.

It can even be said that once you have seen these people at their most miserable side, it is difficult for them not to vent their anger on you.

In fact, he was not supposed to be patrolling here today, but he was a low-level prison guard and the people in charge of him forced him to come here.

Li Zhongren didn't have to come, as he hadn't lost his power. However, this was also a good opportunity for him to get in touch with the top leaders of this world and perhaps gain some information from them.

"dong dong~~"

Li Zhongren stopped the wooden cart, knocked on the door of the cage, and then stuffed a sealed sandalwood lunch box into it.

Yes, even if they are down and out, people living in the third ring of the ninth floor still lead a life of luxury every day. Ordinary prisoners eat pig food, but they eat exquisite food, which is prepared every day by the top restaurants in Beijing.

Also, there is a toilet on this floor, similar to a flush toilet.

It’s a pity that this thing has not been popularized throughout the Heavenly Prison, otherwise their work would be a lot easier.

As for the reason, it is not that the technology is not good enough, but it is said that in this extraordinary world, these pipes themselves are prone to become loopholes. Therefore, in order to prevent people from breaking into the sky prison, only a very small number of sewage pipes are retained, and the others are all completed by humans.

"I want that box."

In this cage, an old man was sitting cross-legged, his hair was gray but not messy.

Judging from his aura, he is a high-ranking official, but he does not know his specific position, and the Lord God did not give him any information. After all, the official positions in the ancient world were a mess, with this Shangshu and that Pushe, most people cannot understand them, and it is normal not to understand.

"That box smells like lotus leaf chicken, but I prefer crispy duck. Unfortunately, I'm almost at the end of my life here, and you've given all the good food to others."

"Hey, kid, are you mute?"

"Well, dumb."

Li Zhongren shrugged.

Keep pushing the cart forward.

"Ha! Where did this kid come from? How dare he offend this old man?"

Laughter was heard from the cage nearby.

"When this old man was still an official, he was known for being petty. If you offend him, be careful that he will make things difficult for you."

"Then he has to hold on tight. We jailers may not be able to live to see your revenge."

"Hahaha"

Hearing Li Zhongren's words, bursts of happy laughter came from the cage.

It was obvious that they were bored, and when they suddenly met someone who dared to confront them, they found it novel.

The wooden cart was pushed to the end of the ring. Unlike the other cages, whose doors were made of bars, this door was solid, separating the inside from the outside.

Because this is the VIP among VIPs, it is specially used to detain the truly powerful people, and these people must maintain a certain degree of privacy.

Therefore, there was an extra door. Of course, this door could be opened. After opening it, there was a corridor inside. At the end of the corridor was the real cell where the people were imprisoned. And Li Zhongren happened to know who was imprisoned in this cell.

The current emperor's sister, also known as the eldest princess.

No one knew the reason for imprisoning her, but it was definitely not a good thing. After all, it was not a small matter that could make the young emperor angry enough to imprison his own sister here. Pushing open the solid door and coming to the end of the corridor, Li Zhongren looked over along the fence and saw a woman in white reading a book under the light. The light reflected on her face, and he could clearly see her fair skin and dazzling chest.

As mentioned before, this world is similar to the Tang Dynasty, and people's dressing style is very bold.

"Bold."

The eldest princess suddenly raised her head, glanced at Li Zhongren, and spoke lightly.

Then, a surge of momentum came towards him, and that feeling even reminded Li Zhongren of domineering.
But it's useless.

It’s not that Li Zhongren exposed his strength, but that this domineering aura lost its effectiveness after passing through the railing.

This is the function of the Heavenly Prison. It is difficult for people imprisoned inside to use their supernatural powers to influence people outside.

"It's quite white. No, well, I mean, it's quite big."

"Ok?"

The eldest princess was slightly stunned.

As a member of the highest ruling group of the Daxuan Dynasty, the Daxuan Dynasty had almost no secrets for her.

For example, this sky prison.

In fact, it is a giant magic weapon created by Taizu, specifically for future generations to suppress and eliminate ghosts.

The ghosts and monsters imprisoned here will have their power continuously drained away, and eventually become one with the Heavenly Prison.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that as a member of the Ji family, even though she was imprisoned here, she still enjoyed some privileges. For example, the power in her body would not be drained by the Heavenly Prison. Also, the aura she exuded just now, even though it was weakened, was still able to shake people's hearts.

However, the jailer outside the cage, who looked about the same size as the current emperor and his own younger brother, did not react at all and even dared to tease him.

There is only one conclusion: this little jailer is not a simple person.

Putting the book down, the woman slowly stood up, walked to the fence, and looked down at Li Zhongren. That's right, Li Zhongren was not as tall as the eldest princess. His tall figure was almost the same as that of a Victoria's Secret supermodel, and his temperament was much better than those extravagant female models. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a descendant of top aristocrats.

"interesting."

After a moment, the eldest princess raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"A great master actually went to the prison to play around?"

Grand Master
It is the division of power system in this world.

From the first rank to the ninth rank, and above that is the innate grandmaster, which is basically the pinnacle of power. Of course, there are gaps between the grandmasters. Among them, the strongest known power, if compared horizontally with Li Zhongren, is roughly similar to Sequence 3?
Of course, these memories were obtained from the minds of those previous people, and they might not be completely accurate. There might be stronger ones, but he didn't know.

His current strength is similar to Sequence 5, but because there is no interference from the outer gods, he does not follow that sequence path. His main strength still comes from the fusion of witchcraft. In this world, it is almost similar to spells, or a Taoist system.

"Don't worry, I won't expose you."

Just when Li Zhongren was thinking about how to explain.

The eldest princess spoke again.

"I wonder if this Grandmaster is interested in cooperating with me?"

"Save you?"

This woman was not simple either. His telepathy was of no use to her. In fact, she was not the first one to come here. Obviously, someone in this extraordinary world had already realized that someone could obtain intelligence from other people's minds. The real high-level officials all had countermeasures.

"I don't know why you sneaked into the Heavenly Prison to be a jailer, but you..." I don't know. If you are outside the cage, there is still a possibility of escape. If you are inside the cage, it will be extremely difficult to get out. Even if you are a master, you can't get out.

The eldest princess shook her head.

"Is there anything else going on?"

"interesting."

Looking at Li Zhongren's expression, the princess smiled again.

"Looking at your face, you don't look like one of those old freaks pretending to be young. You are a newly promoted genius master. Why do you come to the Heavenly Prison to play? You are really bold. The Great Xuan Dynasty has been passed down for more than 600 years. The greatest contribution of this is the Heavenly Prison built by my great ancestor."

"Suppress the country's destiny?"

“The destiny of a country cannot be seen or touched, but I don’t know it.”

The eldest princess sighed.

"Any enemy of mine, no matter what abilities he has, clones, rebirths, substitutes, etc., as long as he is caught in this prison, he will only exist here. Do you understand?"

"I see."

Li Zhongren nodded.

He understood the thoughts of Taizu of the Great Xuan Dynasty. The extraordinary people are like centipedes, which are still alive even after death. A thief can only steal for a thousand days, but you cannot guard against thieves for a thousand days. In a head-on conflict, a big country will not be afraid of a certain person. A big country will fear that a thousand-mile dike will be destroyed by an ant hole.

And this sky prison is a safe zone, or an anchor point.

No matter what backup plan you have, as long as I can catch your trace and throw it in, even if it is a clone, the real body will be teleported over.

This is really awesome PLUS.
"So, what's the point of the princess telling me this?"

"It's natural to cooperate."

The eldest princess looked at the man in front of her.

"You are a genius who has already reached the top at such a young age. What you need to do is to see all the scenery in the world and experience all kinds of things in the world in order to make further progress. Otherwise, you would not have come to this prison to cooperate with me. Needless to say, the benefits are self-evident. The many experiences will allow you to experience the reality of this world."

"Do you trust me so much? Could it be that I was sent by your enemy?"

"No."

The eldest princess smiled and shook her head.

"Hey, it seems that there is a big secret behind you being locked up here."

Li Zhongren smiled slightly. Even though this woman was also extremely powerful and could resist telepathy, she would still reveal some emotions through her facial expressions. There was not even a trace of despair or resentment on her face. Her coming here seemed more like a purpose.

Combined with some memories he obtained from the minds of those people just now, on the surface, the relationship between the eldest princess and the emperor was very bad, and because of some undisclosed conflicts, she was imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

Now it seems that this brother and sister want to do something.

And, it's difficult.

But it’s okay to think about it.

In the ordinary world, when the aristocratic families and official groups become powerful, the imperial power is no longer final.

This is even more true in the extraordinary world. Those great families that have been passed down for thousands of years may not be as powerful as the royal family individually, but when they unite, they may be evenly matched with the royal family, or even stronger. Therefore, it is even less likely that the emperor will want to change anything without turning the table over, even if the emperor knows that the ship of Daxuan is already crumbling.

　The three-month writer support program has ended.

　　Starting this month, there is no more.

　　I had planned to finish it yesterday.

　　But recently, maybe because I have only updated once, I am only four or five away from 500 average subscriptions, so I was thinking of writing for a few more days and seeing how it goes.

　　If I can maintain it, I will continue writing. If the subscriptions continue to drop, this month may end at any time, and then I will prepare a new book.

　　Many thanks to the dozens of readers who have followed me here for their support.
　　that's all.
