The moment the Empress of the Ghoul revealed the Lord of Mysteries, Jiang Che knew that the story between them would not be that simple.
This strange realm is entered on a small island, and the most important thing on the island is the Zhutian Prison. In addition, Zhuge Ye said that the reward for this challenge is related to the Zhutian Prison on the island, so the Ghoul Empress must also
It has something to do with prison.
This may be the main reason why Zhuge Ye just asked not to kill the Ghoul Empress.
Seeing the bloody tears flowing from the corners of the eyes of the Empress of the Ghoul, Jiang Che knelt down and patted her shoulder, saying, "Yes, I am the Lord of Mysteries."
The corpse ghost queen looked at Jiang Che and swallowed with tears of blood: "Master, master...my master, you are finally back, you, you are finally back."
Owner?
Everyone looked at Jiang Che in surprise. Isn't the plot turning around too fast?
A second ago, this corpse ghost queen was fighting with them to death, so why is she calling Jiang Che master now? Is it because he is the master of mystery?
However, Jiang Che did not dwell too much on this matter, but asked calmly and seriously: "Tell me, what happened?"
"Return to the master."
The corpse ghost empress said respectfully: "The thing you imprisoned has escaped, and we are no match for it..."
According to the information Jiang Che has learned now, every prison in the world is imprisoning or suppressing something, so what the corpse ghost empress is saying now still has a certain degree of credibility.
The prison of the heavens on this island originally held something. After a long time, that thing, like Poseidon in Tianma Pass, broke through the sealing power of the prison, causing this island and this
This prison of the heavens has penetrated into real time.
But if the corpse ghost empress can only give this bit of information, then she is really of no use, because Jiang Che had already guessed this possibility before coming.
Moreover, the effect of being able to infinitely increase one's deceitfulness around the prison is probably related to the things originally held in the prison.
Another important point is that the Ghost Empress does not recognize the Lord of Mysteries. To be precise, she has not met the previous Lord of Mysteries. She now thinks Jiang Che is the Lord of Mysteries solely because of these
chain.
Because these chains come from the Prison of All Heavens, no one else can use these chains except the owner of the prison. And the Prison of All Heavens was built by the Lord of Mysteries, so the owner of the prison is equivalent to the Lord of Mysteries.
Jiang Che frowned, his head racing at high speed.
The Ghost Empress must know more than this, otherwise Zhuge Ye, a coward, would never have taken this risk.
Although she now thinks that I am the Lord of Mysteries, she does not seem to know that the Lord of Mysteries has changed. So it is best for me not to expose this matter to avoid causing further complications.
Summary: I have to pretend.
After making a decision, Jiang Che coughed dryly, and then asked with a serious face: "Tell me about your situation."
The Ghost Empress said with an aggrieved look: "The master asked us to take a good look at that thing, but we didn't expect that thing to absorb our power. When we reacted, we could no longer suppress it."
"After the prison's power became loose, many jailers died in its hands. I and other jailers could only temporarily hide in the treacherous realm to protect ourselves and wait here for the master's return."
Jailer, it turns out that there are jailers in the prisons of the heavens!
According to the intention of the Ghoul Empress, she was originally a jailer in Zhutian Prison, and together with other jailers, she was responsible for taking care of the things held in this prison.
This is somewhat similar to Xiao Jin's situation. Xiao Jin's ghost is called General Qingchan. He was created by the first generation Lord of Secrets, and together with the other eleven gods of war, he guards the endless battlefield and the prison deep in the endless battlefield.
From a certain point of view, Qingchan is also the jailer of Zhutian Prison, and in the end, the prison they were responsible for also failed, allowing the things inside to escape.
But in front of them, the corpse ghost queen was killed by the thing they were responsible for guarding.
There is really enough food...
Jiang Che let out a long sigh, and then asked: "Is there a way to contact other people?"
The corpse ghost empress shook her head vigorously and said: "Now the power of that thing has spread all over the island. We can only hide in the strange realm. Once we go out, we will be assimilated by its power, and then we will not be immune to it."
Controlling and doing things that betray the master."
"Has someone been assimilated by it?" Jiang Che frowned.
"Yes Master……"
The Ghoul Empress nodded and continued: "Actually, I was also contaminated by its power. If it weren't for the mask left by the master, I wouldn't be able to regain my sanity now."
Jiang Che looked at Zhuge Ye, who grinned.
Although they didn't say much, the two of them understood each other tacitly.
Jiang Che has almost figured out the challenge this time. This corpse ghost queen was originally a jailer. In order to avoid the things in the prison, she hid in this strange realm. But what she didn't know was that she had been imprisoned in the prison.
Things are contaminated.
The facial makeup that Zhuge Ye just brought is what the previous Lord of Mysteries left behind. With the chain he summoned, he can wake up the Ghost Empress and get these clues.
These clues may seem simple, but in fact they were all arranged by Zhuge Ye. Maybe Zhuge Ye's squatting in the grass was part of his plan.
After all, Zhuge Ye had probably used heavenly magic to calculate this kind of big scene many times before coming.
Heavenly magic is indeed so terrifying. For the first time, Jiang Che felt from Zhuge Ye what it means to be as wise as foolish.
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Che nodded and at the same time took back the chains on the corpse ghost empress.
The Ghost Empress handed her red paper umbrella to Jiang Che and whispered: "When the master needs me, just open this umbrella..."
Jiang Che nodded, and then the Ghost Empress turned into a wisp of red mist and got into the paper umbrella.
Not long after, the ground trembled repeatedly, and the cemetery began to shatter.
After a trance, everyone returned to the island, back to the place where they first entered the treacherous realm.
The surroundings were still in a mess. The corpse ghost queen's coffin was missing, but Jiang Che had a red paper umbrella in his hand.
A red paper umbrella that can summon taboo-level helpers at any time.
Jiang Che looked at Zhuge Ye, smacked his lips and said, "So what I have to do next is to conquer all the secrets on this island."
Zhuge Ye shrugged and said, "You said this, I didn't."
Jiang Che: "Then what do you think of my idea?"
Zhuge Ye said with a shy look: "You know, no matter what you do, people will support you~"
Cao Zhan, who saw some clues, gave Zhuge Ye a thumbs up, "Wild dog, good job!"
Su Xiaojin looked at Zhuge Ye and said expressionlessly: "It's okay this time."
Zhu Yao came back to her senses and said with bright eyes: "It turns out to be Jiang Zi, Zhuge Ye is great!"
Zhuge Ye smiled slightly and waved the feather fan in his hand.
