"You are quite generous," Cheng Ju said calmly, "However, it is not certain whether you will die or not. You'd better be prepared to die first."
"I don't want to die." Ye Chong smiled slightly.
"No one wants to die." Cheng Ju said calmly.
"Then how can I not die?" Ye Chong sighed.
"Do you know why death row prisoners are called serious criminals?" Cheng Ju said slowly.
"I don't know." Ye Chong smiled, "Maybe it's because the current environment is harsh and the human race is under great pressure, so they don't want the original death row inmates to die like that?"
"Absolutely." Cheng Ju paused and then continued, "I know you are a smart person and you should know what I am talking about.
That's right.
The renaming of death row prisoners to serious crimes is related to the operation of the military merit system.
For serious criminals, if they can accumulate enough military merit, their sentences can be reduced or even regained their freedom.
For example, go to serve in the Wilderness Fortress.
For serious criminals, dying there is equivalent to executing a death sentence.
Either accumulate enough military merits and leave there, which can be regarded as meritorious services for the empire and the human race.
However, there is more than one way to gain military merit."
"Oh?" Ye Chong smiled slightly, "It's a game, let's be honest, I'm simple-minded and don't like to go around, let alone hide it."
"..." Cheng Ju was silent for half a minute before continuing, "Are you talking about my not showing up?"
"No, haha," Ye Chong couldn't help but smile, "I'm just a prisoner, how dare I do this?"
"Actually, I've been watching you here," Cheng Ju said quietly, "It's not my fault that you can't see me, it's because you don't have the skills to do it yourself."
"What?!" Ye Chong suddenly changed his expression, "Are you right in front of the boss's desk?"
"Yes, is it weird?" Cheng Ju said slowly, "There is a light curtain in front of me, and my voice has changed, so you can't see me, and the voice sounds weird."
"I understand," Ye Chong stared ahead with wide eyes, "This is really a wonderful thing."
"I won't show up due to work discipline issues." Cheng Ju continued, "If you have reached the level of an intermediate martial arts warrior or above, you can still see through the light curtain at a glance based on your strength."
"Well, I hope I can do that as soon as possible." Ye Chong raised the corner of his mouth, "But what I want to know more now is...
hey-hey.
What is the purpose of my coming here today?
I thought someone would really come to visit me."
"I want you to come here because I want you to do something." Cheng Ju said slowly, "If you do it, you will receive a lot of military honors and reduce your sentence."
"I'm afraid it's not that easy to accomplish what Cheng Ju personally arranged, right?" Ye Chong looked quietly at the void where the voice came from.
"Let me introduce myself first," Cheng Ju said in a calm tone, "My name is Cheng Ye. I am the deputy director of the Zhongdu Bureau of the Imperial Martial Arts Department. I am mainly responsible for intelligence and espionage work."
"Intelligence, espionage?" Ye Chong was slightly startled, looking a little confused, "Are all mutant beasts so smart?"
"Don't underestimate the development potential of mutant beasts. The intelligence level of beast general-level mutant beasts is almost the same as that of humans. It is normal to use their own advantages to spy on the intelligence of humans." Chengju continued, "However, today I am looking for
The thing you are talking about is not the mutated beast, but something else."
"I would like to hear the details." Ye Chong looked serious and nodded, "I am very willing to contribute to the security of the empire."
"Okay." Cheng Ju said in a deep voice, "It is not only mutant beasts that threaten the safety of the empire and the survival of the human race, but also evil martial arts organizations."
"Are you talking about the Free Warriors Alliance?" Ye Chong asked with his eyes narrowed.
"To be precise, it should be called the Freemen's Alliance." Cheng Ju paused and continued, "It seems that you have already heard of this martial arts organization.
How about it?
Are you interested in helping to eradicate it?"
"It's a done deal," Ye Chong frowned, "The Alliance of Freemen is also a martial arts organization of the human race. Will it really choose to confront the human race when the orc army is pressing on the border?"
"Yes, definitely." Cheng Ju continued, "The main reason you have this problem is that you don't understand this evil martial arts organization.
I think you have heard about what happened in the Imperial Capital, right?"
"Chengju is talking about the underground tide of mutated beasts?" Ye Chong was stunned.
"No," Cheng Ju sighed, and then continued, "It seems that you haven't watched the news recently.
A lot of things happened at the Imperial Martial Arts Academy not long ago.
People who go to perform missions in the northern wilderness are always attacked, with many casualties.
However, not all of them were mutant beasts that attacked them, there were also humans, and the main damage was caused by the latter."
"People from the Free Alliance?" Ye Chong's eyes narrowed, and he naturally thought of the scene that happened in the Leqing Mountains. At that time, he himself was chased by the member of the Free Alliance.
"Yes," Cheng Ju continued, "Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, there are various signs that it should be someone from the Freedom Alliance who did it."
"Now that we know it's them, the Imperial Martial Arts Department should quickly eliminate them." Ye Chong said bitterly, "Actually, I was also hunted down by members of the Free Alliance in the Leqing Mountains.
That guy also said that as long as I can join the League of Freemen, he can spare my life."
"What was the result?" Chengju asked, "Did you successfully escape?"
"No," Ye Chong raised the corner of his mouth, "That guy was eaten by a mutated beast."
"High-level martial arts warrior?" Cheng Ju asked.
"He seems to be a junior martial arts warrior." Ye Chong frowned, "I was running for my life at the time and didn't pay much attention."
"That's right." Cheng Ju continued, "The students who were attacked by Emperor Wu came back and said that those who attacked them were also martial arts warriors at the level of martial arts warriors."
"These guys are really hateful," Ye Chong said in a cold voice, "The human race is in crisis, but they secretly plot to destroy unity. They are really worse than animals."
"So, we need to understand these guys' real thoughts and future plans." Cheng Ju continued, "Otherwise, we don't know what else they will do to harm the human race."
"They should recruit people on a large scale," Ye Chong frowned, "I remember when the guy pretended to agree to chase me, he also asked me to take some freedom pills. It's really disgusting."
"Have you eaten?" Cheng Ju asked.
"Of course not." Ye Chong said with a smile, "I was just talking nonsense to him to buy more time to survive."
"Yeah," Cheng Ju smiled, "not bad."
"Haha, I just don't want to die." Ye Chong said with a smile, "Cheng Ju asked me to come this time, doesn't he want me to die?"
"It's not about sending them to death," Cheng Ju said in a deep voice, "It's about sending them to death."
"How do you say it?" Ye Chong frowned.
"Break into their ranks," Chengju said word for word, "and send them on their way."
