......
That night.
Two dark shadows quietly left the mansion.
If Yin Di hadn't been personally monitoring them at this time, no one would have been able to discover their whereabouts, but unfortunately, he couldn't be there all the time.
"It's so noisy, why is it so lively at night?" One of the shadows wondered, "It seems like I heard quarrels in several rooms."
"I heard something. It seemed like a man was questioning a woman about her mouth and what it smelled like. I think I have some idea."
"Oh, then it's fine as long as you know it, just keep it to yourself."
The shadow disappeared into the night.
In the south of the city, in an exquisite and luxurious private residence, Jiang Lu and Lucifer appeared in the garden like ghosts.
"This is it, what are you going to do?" Lucifer asked.
"You stay out and wait for me outside. Come in when everything is arranged."
"Let out some fresh air..." Lucifer frowned, "How?"
"Just stand guard at the door and give me a signal to alert me if there is any movement." Jiang Lu taught.
"understood."
After that, the two of them took action. Lucifer squatted on a crooked tree beside the wall, and Jiang Lu came to the outside of the house. He first walked around the house a few times to determine which room Hu Ji lived in. After finding a room with a light on and sensing Hu Ji's breath, Jiang Lu looked around and then sneaked in quietly.
In the room, Hu Ji was reading a book.
Looking at those tragic love stories in the book, she couldn't help but think of herself. She longed for the sedan chair and formal marriage that were standard features in almost every story in the book but would never happen to her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad.
"When will days like this end...Alas..."
Just at this moment, a gust of wind blew open the window, blowing out the candle in the room, and Hu Ji's eyes instantly became dark.
This caused her to complain again.
"This old house doesn't even have a light, it's just for show, really..."
She got up in the dark and tried to relight the candle, but suddenly, her mouth was covered by a big hand.
“Hmm…Hmm!”
Hu Ji was frightened. She wanted to scream and ask who was so bold.
But the next second, An Dan's rough voice rang in her ears: "It's me. Let's do something different today."
This is the universal technique that Jiang Lu used in Chapter 17 - false voice!
As he spoke, Jiang Lu covered Hu Ji's eyes with a black veil.
"Ah...you bad guy..." Hu Ji believed it, and was aroused by the gentle action and the unprecedented experience of having her vision blocked and her senses magnified infinitely, and she felt numb all over: "You...you are quite good at it..."
Chapter 446 Instigating Rebellion
It is impossible to save him.
Back in the Cell Factory, An Dan had already become brain dead because Jiang Lu had shaken the earth, that is, his brain, in the inner space.
This makes it difficult to define the current status of the order.
You say he is dead, but with the Exorcist system's AFK AI operation, he is actually no different from before. Even under the premise that Jiang Lu never uses the system to force intervention, perhaps the AFK AI itself does not realize that it is an AI.
If a person's thoughts, abilities, physical condition, memory, everything is the same as Andan, how can you say that he is not a living Andan?
But if you say he is still alive, that obviously doesn't make sense.
A cancer patient may not be aware of his symptoms and cancer does not affect his daily life, but this does not mean that he is healthy. Perhaps one day in the future, the hidden danger will be exposed and deal a heavy blow to the patient.
Brain death is like an unstable bomb, with one end connected to An Dan and the other end connected to Jiang Lu. Once Jiang Lu loses control of the Exorcist system, or the Exorcist system crashes autonomously, all of An Dan's dreams will be shattered.
Maybe it will never happen, but maybe it will happen soon, no one knows the answer.
So could it be that Hu Ji noticed something was wrong with An Dan and hoped that she could save him?
As soon as this idea came to mind, it was rejected by Jiang Lu.
Not to mention whether Hu Ji can detect the exorcist system created by the guardian god of the forbidden land. If so, then Hu Ji should first confirm with An Dan.
After all, this kind of abnormality would seem somewhat incredible, and it would be difficult to find any evidence to prove it. At most, some problems exposed in the details might make Hu Ji suspicious.
If that were the case, Hu Ji would not have asked Jiang Lu to save him. The one beside An Dan was Yin Di, and under Yin Di's command were a group of talented people. Hu Ji must trust them more than Jiang Lu. There is no need to think about it.
Unless...An Dan's predicament in Hu Ji's eyes was caused by them, so she turned to Jiang Lu, an outsider, for help.
Sure enough, when Jiang Lu asked, Hu Ji told the story with a look of humiliation on her face.
“My husband…he’s going crazy.
In order to become the Grand Marshal, he had no choice but to submit himself to the Yin Emperor, hoping that one day he would be able to make a great career and become a truly powerful person in the underworld who could stand firm even without too much support from the Yin Emperor.
At that time he was full of hope, and I was also very optimistic about the future.
But unexpectedly, in order to completely control him, the Yin Emperor gave him great power, but the source of all this power was firmly in his own hands, and everything had to be approved by him before he could do anything. "
"Isn't this normal?" Although Jiang Lu was hostile to the Yin Emperor, he was realistic and felt that there was nothing wrong with this matter. "If I give him all the power, wouldn't it be a mess? If An Dan has selfish motives and sidelines him, once he rebels, wouldn't he be able to become the second me?"
In Jiang Lu's opinion, this can be regarded as a lesson learned. Using Jiang Lu as a negative example to prevent others from making a fortune through the same means as him, there is really nothing wrong with it.
"Of course it's more than that."
Hu Ji continued to complain:
"We thought so at the beginning, so my husband didn't take it too seriously, thinking that as long as he made achievements, the Yin Emperor would sooner or later look at him with new eyes and then really give him power.
But we were wrong, Yindi's methods are simply disgusting!"
"How to say?"
"First of all, no matter what proposals my husband puts forward, the Yin Emperor will deny them. Not only will he deny the proposals themselves, but he will also deny his talents. What he is saying is that if it weren't for him, my husband wouldn't be able to stand in his current position. Whether it's his ability or anything else, he can't match his status.
Even if he was not convinced at the beginning, he was always denied, always denied. After thousands of years of denial, who can still keep his original intention unchanged?
Over time, my husband gradually lost his motivation and confidence, and he just muddled along, content with the status quo, and accepted the fact that he was just a messenger in Yindi's eyes."
Jiang Lu saw through Yin Di's clumsy trick at a glance: "Isn't this just workplace PUA?"
Hu Ji was stunned: "What?"
"Um...Nothing, just continue."
Hu Ji nodded, rubbed her eyes and continued, "Secondly, he is secretly instructing others to isolate my husband.
Although he was the Grand Marshal in name only, the military power was in the hands of Yin Di, and he had no real power. This made him unable to hold his head up in the high-level circles. Everyone knew that he was just a puppet of Yin Di, so they didn't take him seriously.
Be it a happy or funeral event, or a gathering, they never invited my husband to participate. Over time, he became a mascot that wandered outside the power center of the underworld. When there was a big event, he would be pulled out for a walk, and when there was no big event, he would be forgotten in the corner.
In the end, the only one he could rely on was Yin Di, because only Yin Di would listen to him patiently, although after listening he would continue to deny all his ideas and then tell him what to do, further destroying his self-confidence.
Every time I hear him complain to me, and cry secretly in the quiet night after I fall asleep, I feel so distressed. "
"This..." Jiang Lu was shocked: "It's indeed a bit too much. I didn't do this at the beginning."
But it's not over yet.
“The most important thing is…”
Hu Ji suddenly stood up, took out a photo frame from the drawer of the bedside table in front of Jiang Lu, and handed it to Jiang Lu:
"Look at this."
Jiang Lu looked down and saw a photo of Hu Ji and a thin man.
The man was tall and dignified, with sword-like brows and bright eyes, revealing an indomitable spirit and extraordinary bearing. Standing next to him, the extremely charming Hu Ji seemed to pale in comparison. The shyness on her face was far from her own temperament. She looked like a pure little girl. Looking at the man's profile, Hu Ji's eyes were as sweet as if they were drawing silk.
"This is your fault."
Jiang Lu held the photo frame and angrily rebuked:
"You can't pretend to be pure in love in front of me, but secretly date a man like this, right? Am I worse than him?"
Looking at himself in the mirror, Jiang Lu was unconvinced: "I am also a handsome guy."
"You are very handsome, but I only love him."
Hu Ji understood that Jiang Lu didn't see the problem at all, so she explained with a wry smile:
"He is the Andan of the past."
"Ah?" Jiang Lu widened his eyes and almost put his face close to the photo frame.
He really couldn't connect the model-like man in front of him with the greasy fat man.
The figure, temperament and eyes are totally different.
However, after Jiang Lu looked carefully, he found that the two people seemed to have similarities in their bone structure.
Jiang Lu immediately exclaimed: "What is the transformation of the school hunk from the Military Art Academy?!"
No wonder Hu Ji never left him. It turns out that An Dan was not fat from the beginning. The two fell in love when they were the most dazzling and most suitable for each other.
No wonder An Dan took such a big risk to bring Hu Ji with him. It turned out that to him, she was not just a concubine, but his legal wife who was not allowed to be seen in public. This was pure love!
It is no wonder that Yin Di fell in love with An Dan. If it were not for Jiang Lu, it would not be an exaggeration to call An Dan the most handsome man in Yinjing City at that time.
"It was the Yin Emperor who made him like this."
Hu Ji opened the drawer of the bedside table on the other side, and there were some empty bottles inside, with labels such as progesterone, Marvelon, and Chromatolon labeled on them.
"These strange drugs have turned him from a confident and masculine man into the timid, introverted, self-abased and sensitive person he is today."
"Um..."
Jiang Lu looked at the empty bottles and rubbed his chin:
"The Yin Emperor is more terrifying than I thought..."
Before he became an exorcist, he had nothing to do all day except go to the suburbs to look for wild female ghosts or wrap himself in a small quilt and use his mobile phone to surf the Internet, where he came into contact with a lot of things.
One time when I was browsing a forum, I accidentally entered a mysterious [Flower Pot Bar].
When he saw that a flowerpot cost hundreds or thousands of yuan, he was dumbfounded, thinking it was some high-end product only for the rich.
Driven by curiosity, I bought a relatively cheap flowerpot called "Baoji Tailai" to see if the flowers grown in this pot would speak and say something like "Hey, this flowerpot is really authentic".
