During the Qin Dynasty, he was in charge of the net.

"You mean you're going to trade the name of the person you're protecting for a dead person?"

Li Ji's indifferent voice rang in Wu Wo's ears, seemingly dissatisfied with his answer.

"He is indeed dead to the Net, but he is not dead to the Dark Execution Platform."

Wu Wo wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, realizing that this answer was truly a last resort in a desperate situation.

He wasn't sure if the answer would satisfy the person, nor was he sure if the person was still alive.

The only thing he was certain of was that the person was of great value.

So much so that the previous leader of the platform was willing to break the rules of the Net of Law in order to keep that person alive.

"If what you're saying is true, then where is he now?"

"In a prison cell at the execution platform."

The dungeons of the Dark Execution Platform are divided into three levels: Death Level, Escort Level, and Prison Level.

The three are divided by time.

Criminals in the death row would soon be executed, while prisoners in the escort row would be imprisoned for a period of time, during which they might be subjected to inhuman torture.

Prisoners, on the other hand, are often imprisoned for a long time. The length of this imprisonment depends on both the physical strength of the criminal and the orders of the prison master.

The shortest duration is one or two years, while the longest is ten years or more.

Li Ji leaned against the stone chair, his gaze fixed on Wu Wo's tense face, while he secretly pondered whether to trust him.

To the Net, he is already dead, but to the Dark Execution Platform, he is not yet dead. Does such a person even exist?

Most assassins from the Luo Wang organization probably wouldn't believe that such a thing exists.

The Luowang (a system of surveillance and investigation) is very rigorous in determining death.

If the Net can confirm someone's death, it basically means that person will never appear in the world again.

If it were the old Li Ji, he wouldn't have believed such a thing existed.

But a few months ago, he had encountered such a being in the Sword Prison of Luo Wang, in the Broken Water Sword Niche.

An old man with his eyes covered.

Perhaps calling him the Sword Slave Who Cuts Water is more appropriate.

This blindfolded old man is terrifying.

This person and the Broken Water Sword have a certain degree of affinity, although it is very weak, but the other party's swordsmanship does contain some of the true meaning of Broken Water.

Judging solely from his swordsmanship, he has already reached the level of a top-tier member of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).

But he was certain that the man was already dead by his sword.

He was split in two by the Water-Severing Sword, and there was no chance of him surviving.

If it's not the Sword Slave of Broken Water, then who could it be?

Besides that blindfolded old man, would there be any other similar entities in the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven)?

Li Ji glanced at Wu Wo indifferently. The other man stared intently at him, as if waiting for Li Ji to decide his fate.

The next second, Li Ji spoke:

"Wuwo, I'm willing to trust you this once. I hope you won't let me down."

For Li Ji, this was never an equal exchange.

He doesn't need to give anything in return; he doesn't really care what Wuwo offers.

He'll find something interesting if it catches his eye, and he'll accept something equally worthless.

However, the consequences of these two situations are completely different for Wuwo.

Hearing that the platform master was willing to believe in him once, Wuwo breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that the person wouldn't believe him at all and would just take him down directly.

Then Wuwo, with his arms folded and bowing, said:

"Please accompany me to the dungeon for a look, Your Excellency."

In the Iron Blood Alliance, the true value of items traded between the two parties cannot be determined by mere words.

Naturally, one must see it or obtain it before it can be valued.

Its value can only be specifically measured by observing it through some means.

The same applies now; whether those people are of value to the platform owner will naturally require a meeting before a decision can be made.

Li Ji nodded slightly, signaling Wuwo to lead the way.

The hunters exchanged bewildered glances. Could such a thing exist in the dungeon of the Dark Execution Platform? It was dead to the Net, but still alive to the Dark Execution Platform.

The ordinary hunters might not know, but the other three hunters probably did, and Wuwo was probably referring to that person.

Or perhaps it can no longer be called human; a humanoid weapon would be more appropriate.

Those weapons were puppets specially made by the previous leader, and they obeyed only his orders.

Even within the Dark Execution Platform, very few people knew about it.

However, as far as they know, the weapon had gone out of control more than a decade ago and had also attacked the previous leader of the platform.

The previous master of the platform was also injured as a result, and destroyed it.

Why is it that, in Wuwo's ​​mouth, the murder weapon didn't seem to be destroyed, but instead remained?

This is something they cannot understand.

We'll have to wait until we get there to confirm it. If Wuwo has been lying, they'll expose him immediately.

They felt no camaraderie with Wuwo; this was the Net, one of the cruelest places in the Net.

Moreover, Wuwo is no longer considered a member of the Luowang group.

Afterwards, the group of hunters followed Wuwo and Li Ji, heading deeper into the dungeon.

There are crisscrossing passageways here, and on both sides of the passageways are rows of stone cells.

There weren't many prisoners among them.

Or rather, most of those imprisoned by the Net were to be executed immediately.

The further you go in, the damper and darker it becomes.

Often, after walking a long way, you would find only one or two torches crackling and burning on the stone wall.

Only after leaving the death row and entering the custodial cell could one occasionally see a few people.

Those imprisoned there were all people who had committed grave offenses, but for some reason, their lives were temporarily spared.

The people imprisoned here all had a numb look on their faces. Even when they heard footsteps, they would only glance at them and then look away.

Because they knew that only death awaited them, and there was no hope whatsoever.

As the group ventured deeper, they finally reached the prison-level area.

Finally, Wuwo stopped in front of a stone cell.

He turned to Li Ji and introduced him:

"Master, what is imprisoned here is a murder weapon specially made by the previous master."

He had no past memories or emotions, only the most basic killing instinct.

Upon hearing this, Li Ji's heart stirred.

He suddenly remembered the files on the execution platform he had looked at before.

One of them was a candidate assassin named Wu Nian, who attempted to defect from Luo Wang because he was worried about his sister. In the end, he was apparently made into such a puppet.

Could it be that Wu Nian is not dead yet, and is still locked in the dungeon of the Dark Torture Platform?

It should be noted that the files Li Ji was looking at were all quite old, the most recent being about a year ago, while Wu Nian's file was from an event that occurred thirty years ago.

Thirty years have passed. Is that Wunian still alive?

Just then, another hunting leader, Wuwu, suddenly stepped forward, knelt on one knee in front of Li Ji, glanced at Wuwo, and said:

"My lord, as far as I know, the person being held here is just an ordinary criminal, not some kind of murder weapon."

Moreover, I recall that the murder weapon in the hands of the previous leader was destroyed more than ten years ago due to a loss of control.

The hunters were quite familiar with the prisoners in the dungeon, since they had personally captured most of them.

Wuwu remembered that this cell held a second-class killer.

Upon hearing Wu Wu's words, Li Ji glanced at Wu Wo indifferently.

"No explanation needed."

The hunters subtly surrounded Wuwo, as if if he couldn't explain himself, someone would take him down and present the victory to the platform master.

Seeing that there was no one lying down, he hurriedly said:

"More than ten years ago, those weapons did indeed go out of control, but the previous leader did not destroy them all. Instead, he secretly left one and transferred it to this stone cell."

I learned of this by accident, and for over a decade I dared not utter a word about it.
