341. Beads
Mochizuki Chisaki nodded, leaned against the thick door, and spoke to the people inside the room.
After a while, Mochizuki Chisaki looked back at Zi Chen. From the excited look in her eyes, Zi Chen knew that the person imprisoned inside was really her brother Tsuruta.
"Why did they lock you up here? Aren't you supposed to be guarding this place?" Mochizuki Chisaki had some mood swings, and his eye circles were already red.
Tsuruta had been missing for so long, she almost thought her brother had disappeared from the world. Who would have thought that he would be imprisoned just a suspension bridge away from her.
As a member of the West Guard Pavilion, how could Chisaki Mochizuki not know how terrifying this prison is!
"I found the Ninghua Pearl. I originally wanted to tell the Osaka government about it, but it was intercepted by General Takagi. He wanted to steal the Ninghua Pearl for himself, so he put me under house arrest. I still refused to tell him.
So they imprisoned me here." The voice inside was very weak, and it seemed that he was being tortured quite a lot.
"Stop talking about this now. How can I rescue you? I can't watch you die in there." Chisaki Mochizuki interrupted.
The two chatted for a long time, with Zi Chen watching from the side.
"Is there no way to open the room?" Zi Chen asked.
Chisaki Mochizuki shook her head, her expression somewhat blank. It could be seen that after hearing what Tsuruta said, she also suffered a huge blow in her heart.
"I really didn't expect that in addition to the dark formation in the East Guard Pavilion, there is also a huge curse. This curse will extract the soul power of the people imprisoned here bit by bit."
"Originally, I thought this was the effect of the curse array. I didn't expect that the curse array not only extracts the soul power from the prisoner's body, but also condenses them into a bead." Chisaki Mochizuki said.
At this time, Mochizuki Chisaki finally understood what Zi Chen meant when he came just now. It turned out that this was what he wanted.
But now she was a little hesitant, not wanting to give the beads to Zi Chen.
Zi Chen saw Mochizuki Chisaki's expression and knew what she was thinking, but he didn't care now. The name of the bead should be Ninghua Evil Bead.
Her brother has been influenced by it and is now trying to harm Mochizuki Chisaki. Even if Zichen doesn't want it now, Mochizuki Famous Sword guy won't be able to keep this hot potato in his hands by then.
He will definitely find a way to get rid of it, so Zi Chen is now reporting an indifferent attitude. Apart from him, I am afraid that no one else would want this thing.
However, this condensed evil bead is a kind of soul-shaping bead, which is very effective against summoned beasts. Zi Chen is still a little worried that the old guy will drain out the soul power inside first.
So Zi Chen planned to wait and drain away the nine point eight layers of energy.
"Let's take the Ninghua Pearl away first, otherwise if General Takagi finds it, he will definitely kill your elder brother and silence him." Zi Chen said.
"Well, can this bead..." Mochizuki Chisaki looked at Zi Chen hesitating for a long time and was speechless.
She knew that if Zichen really wanted it, he would take the beads away, but without the beads, there would be no evidence. How would she let her brother out then?
"I only want the energy inside, and I can leave the beads to you."
"Thank you... thank you."
……………………
Following Tsuruta's instructions, Zichen and Mochizuki Chisaki began to walk to the bottom of the East Guard Pavilion. The Ninghua Pearl seemed to be hidden at the bottom of the castle.
However, because the results of the entire castle are extremely complicated, without certain guidance, it may not be possible to reach the point where the souls of the entire East Guard Pavilion prisoners can be absorbed.
Fortunately, Tsuruta had already told Mochizuki Chisaki the path and the dark maze to pay attention to. Zichen and Mochizuki Chisaki arrived at the place mentioned by Tsuruta very smoothly.
There are no guards here at all. It is probably because Tsuruta, the guardian, arrived accidentally and discovered that there is such a thing as the Condensation Pearl in the East Guard Pavilion.
Tsuruta is a really upright person. He would just secretly put away such things when he encountered them, but he still insisted on writing a report. In the end, someone with bad intentions saw it, and caused such a disaster.
The formation point is a very inconspicuous small room, surrounded by walls, with only a narrow opening at the top to jump in.
There was nothing in the array room, and it looked no different from a dilapidated basement. However, in the center of the room, there was a pearl with a turbid luster and evil nature floating in it.
This bead is so weird that it looks like an eyeball suspended in mid-air. It looks very scary at first glance.
"This thing is indeed a bit evil." Zi Chen said with a slight frown.
"It's okay, no matter what, we will take it out immediately." Mochizuki Chisaki said.
With this thing in hand, even if there is favorable evidence, Chisaki Mochizuki can report it to his superiors, expose General Takagi's greedy behavior, and let his brother Tsuruta see the light of day again.
Zi Chen glanced at Mochizuki Chisaki. His mental power was extremely strong, and he could clearly feel the greed slowly rising in Mochizuki Chisaki's heart.
If Chisaki Mochizuki holds this bead, I believe Chisaki Mochizuki will turn into a monster before long.
"Didn't you notice anything unusual about you?" Zi Chen asked lightly.
"What on earth do you want to say?" Mochizuki Chisaki didn't understand what Zi Chen meant.
"I just said, this thing is a bit evil." Zi Chen replied.
"Do you regret it? I just want my eldest brother not to bear the pain of Dongshou Pavilion anymore. Can I ask you for once?" Chisaki Mochizuki was already getting a little excited as he spoke.
She and her eldest brother have had a deep relationship since they were young. In addition, their spiritual seeds are twins, and there is an inseparable tacit understanding and concern.
She knew better than anyone what kind of place Dongshou Pavilion was. How could she bear it when Tsuruta suffered here for so long?
"I didn't say I won't give you the beads. Forget it, you will know what I mean by then." Seeing Yue Qianxun's eyes reddened and looking like he was about to cry, Zi Chen replied,
Then he walked towards the Ninghua Evil Pearl.
Then Zi Chen gently stretched out his right hand, and suddenly a huge suction force came out, and the energy in the beads was slowly pulled out by him.
“Buzz buzz~~~~”
At this moment, the evil bead began to tremble slightly, as if it was about to revive, and endless evil thoughts began to erode Zi Chen's mind.
Mochizuki Chisaki on the side felt the huge evil thoughts coming from Zi Chen and involuntarily took a step back.
But then her eyes slowly turned into a strange blood red, and her body slowly moved closer to Zi Chen.
But at this moment, the demonic system in Zichen's spiritual world began to operate. A trace of demonic aura swirled around Zichen. Zichen's eyes also turned blood red, but there was a faint purple in them.
As the demonic aura emerged, the Ninghua Evil Pearl stopped trembling as if encountering some great terror, and allowed its energy to be drawn away bit by bit.
At this time, Mochizuki Chisaki also regained consciousness. Thinking of the feeling just now, his delicate body trembled and he looked at the bead under Zi Chen's right hand in horror.
