Chapter 1: Purgatory in Hand

Next Chapter

Qianxi Dynasty.

Lodu.

Inside a prison.

"Shen Lian is derelict in his duties, the prisoners in his custody escaped, and he must be punished for his crimes!"

"He is unconscious at the moment, can he be saved and made meritorious service after waking up?"

"Ridiculous! He can't look at the prisoners, can he be arrested when he wakes up?"

At each other's throats.

Echoed in Shen Lian's ears.

Where am I?

Looks like in a prison cell?

Shen Lian woke up from his headache, and a tidal wave of memories rolled in.

"My name is still Shen Lian, but this is the prison of Luodu Xicheng Mansion!"

"There are felons in the cell under my custody who have escaped, and the Master of the Criminal Division wants to kill me and ask me for the crime?"

Don't panic!

Let's get over this first.

Shen Lian struggled to get up.

"Lianzi, you're awake!!"

A pair of calm hands reached over and supported Shen Lian.

"Lianzi is awake!"

"Is Lianzi alright?"

Several jailers gathered around and asked with concern.

"Uncle Han, I'm fine. Shen Lian thanked Han Tong beside him.

Han Tong is the sworn brother of Shen Lian's father, who raised Shen Lian since he was a child, and is the deputy criminal officer of Xicheng Mansion.

"Shen Lian, are you guilty?"

Liu Neng, the chief officer of the Criminal Division, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Shen Lian coldly.

Shen Lian stepped forward and clenched his fists:

"Lord Liu, the incident happened in a hurry, and the ...... is low"

"Shut up!"

Liu Neng interrupted Shen Lian's words and said sharply:

Now that the prisoner has escaped, if you want to get away with it, arrest him in two days. If not, wait to be killed!"

Liu Neng stood up and said coldly:

"They're all gone, and they want to make trouble around? Han Tong, come with me, there is another important case. ”

The jailers present did not dare to disobey and left one after another.

Han Tong's eyes widened angrily, gritted his teeth, and whispered to Shen Lian:

"You recuperate first, and everything will happen when I come back!"

Shen Lian nodded.

Liu Neng left with Han Tong.

After suppressing complex emotions, Shen Lian observed the environment in which he was located.

This is a partial prison under the jurisdiction of Xicheng Mansion, and Shen Lian is one of the head of the stewardship cell, responsible for the guarding of four of the cells.

Inside the cell, the torches flickered, and the light was uncertain.

One cell had been broken open, and Zhou Wang, a death row inmate, had fled. The other three were intact, and the three convicts in custody were asleep, not caring about the outside world.

The cell heads under the Criminal Division of Xicheng Prefecture are in charge of each stall. Whoever is negligent is responsible.

If Zhou Wang, a death row prisoner, is not arrested, Shen Lian will be guilty of killing his head.

What to do?

Shen Lian calmly thought about countermeasures.

Suddenly!

"Ding. The purgatory system binds the host and is officially launched. ”

Well?

Traverser Benefits!

Shen Lian was overjoyed and opened the Purgatory panel to check.

Name: Shen Lian;

Status: Civilian;

Bounty: None;

Items: None;

Exercises: None;

List of Black Prisons: four;

Other functions: lottery, mall;

Shen Lian instantly comprehended the method of use, and his eyes were fixed on the 'Black Prison List'.

All prisoners in the prison controlled by Shen Lian after three days of detention will be automatically included in the black prison list.

Shen Lian can learn about the weaknesses of the prisoners on the Black Prison List.

Special abilities that can be used to loot prisoners on the Black Prison List.

"Ding. The system is established, will the newbie reward be claimed?"

"Pick it up!" Shen Lian agreed without hesitation.

"The host is permanently bound to the 'True Eye of Judgment'. ”

"The host gains 'Plunder Fake Card *3'. ”

"The host gains 'Deadly Evasion Card*3'. ”

"Daily Mission Activation:"

"Description: Personally capture the fugitive Zhou Wang;"

"Achievement: System Bounty Activation, Lottery Activation, Mall Opening;"

Shen Lian nodded, the daily task was related to his predicament and had to be completed.

"Let's take a look at the prisoners on the black prison list, what special abilities do they have. ”

A ghostly light flashed in Shen Lian's pupils, and the 'Ruling True Eye' opened!

If you look at the people on the black list, you can see something different.

The fugitive Zhou Wang and the other two are ordinary people with no special abilities.

Shen Lian stared at the list of the fourth prisoner:

"Name: Liu Suifeng;"

"Status: Jiupin Wa Demon (Beast Sage);"

"Weakness: Wife;"

"Bounty: Not Active;"

"Loyalty: Not Activated;"

Unexpectedly, this Liu Suifeng is actually a cultivator?

Although Shen Lian was an ordinary civilian, he worked in the yamen and knew a little bit of the knowledge of a cultivator.

The Wa Demon is the way of cultivation inherited by the ancient saint 'Wa Zu'. But in the territory of the Qianxi Dynasty, it is relatively rare.

Moreover, the cell managed by Shen Lian would not have cultivators.

Why does Liu Suifeng hide in an ordinary cell?

Shen Lian put this question aside for the time being.

The top priority is to arrest Zhou Wang as soon as possible.

He immediately extracted the prop 'Plunder Fake Identity Card' and covered the list of Liu Suifeng.

Buzz –

In an instant, a mysterious and unpredictable feeling spread around Shen Lian's body.

He walked over to the wooden table in his cell and looked at himself through a bowl of water.

Although he is still dressed in a cell boss's official uniform, his image has changed to the appearance of Liu Suifeng. The inner ability has also become the cultivation power of the Jiupin Wa Demon.

This is the effect of the 'Loot Avatar Card', which can duplicate the prisoners on the Black Prison List and turn them into themselves.

And it's at the peak of the current level.

Shen Lian didn't stay long, and quickly left the cell and went out.

It was nightfall, about midnight.

Only half an hour has passed since Zhou Wang escaped.

There's still room to track.

Shen Lian came to the street with a familiar car and stood on a commanding height.

His right finger rubbed rapidly.

In a moment, the sparse light gray powder drifted between the fingers.

Shen Lian smeared the powder between his noses.

In an instant, the various smells were clearly discernible in the entire environment.

This is one of the abilities of the Jiupin Wa Demon, the 'Beast Sage'. Through the blending of beast bone powder, the Wa demon can temporarily possess beast abilities.

Normally, the Jiupin Wa Demon needs to wear a bone bottle in order to use it. But Shen Lian is at the peak of his current level at the moment, and he has bone powder when he rubs his fingers.

The 'mountain mastiff' bone meal makes Shen Lian have the most sensitive sense of smell at this moment.

"It turns out that the dog's nose is this feeling......

Shen Lian locked Zhou Wang's aura through the black prison list, and immediately identified the direction, speeding up his pace and leaving.

。。

The night was deep, and Shen Lian tiptoed to an old house in the suburbs.

His fingers rubbed, and the 'clouded leopard' bone meal fell down.

Shen Lian smeared bone powder on his forehead.

In an instant, his movements were as soft and silent as stepping on cotton, and his limbs were swift and flexible, like a humanoid leopard, coming to the window of the old house.

A keen sense of hearing can sense it, although the old house is pitch black and unlit. But there was a faint sound of counting copper coins, and heavy breathing.

"God help me. Shen Lian smiled secretly.

Zhou Wang should be taking money and preparing to flee, he felt safe in the dark environment, but it strengthened Shen Lian's chance of sneak attack.

Bang –

Shen Lian leaped violently, slammed through the window and rushed in.

"Who?"

Zhou Wang shouted in horror and picked up the steel knife on the table.

But even if he was a robber and thug, he couldn't compare to the strength of a cultivator.

Shen Lian approached Zhou Wang in an instant, and he was completely a humanoid fierce leopard. With a wave of five claws, the bell knocked down the steel knife in Zhou Wang's hand.

Zhou Wang grabbed the burden and fled, the dark environment was not good for him, and he didn't even have the courage to fight back.

Bang –

The door was slammed open, but Zhou Wang had just run wildly, and his ankle was in sharp pain.

Yes...... Zhou Wang trembled and fell to the ground with blood splashed.

Shen Lian stepped forward, and the steel knife in his hand slashed quickly.

Zhou Wang's foot tendons were cut off, and the blood flowed like an infusion.

"Which master are you! All this money is given to you, let me go!" Zhou Wang wailed.

The steel knife in Shen Lian's hand was aimed at Zhou Wang's neck and asked:

"You're in prison, and you can't escape without a response. Say, who broke open the cell door and let you go?"
