"What time is it?" Jin Geng asked.

"Tentatively fifteen days, I will shorten or extend it according to the physical condition of the prison captain, the current minute and second are like treasures, after everyone has finished the meeting, please return your body to the peak state in the shortest possible time. In addition, there is another thing that the old man needs to confirm, Zhang Chen, do you know what Gu Chen is all about? ”

Regarding Gu Chen's breakthrough in the realm of the beginning of the prison and the situation of inducing a training alone, if it weren't for the fact that Yu Ming later knew the situation and told Zhang Chen, I'm afraid Zhang Chen would also be confused.

Elder Wu had already checked with the prison guards present in advance that Gu Chen had not entered any of the trial gates belonging to anyone else.

"Gu Chen, he broke through the high-level prison captain and started his own blood experience, I'm afraid the assessment hasn't been completed yet."

Zhang Chen explained Gu Chen's situation a little, Gu Chen's approach surprised everyone present, and Jin Geng's heart trembled. In the eyes of Jin Geng in the past, his talent was higher than that of all the prison envoys in the world, and he had a feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold, but at present, both Zhang Chen and Gu Chen could stand side by side with him.

"Gu Chen is really a master of art and bold, since he has been in the secret realm of training for such a long time, he will inevitably encounter great opportunities inside. We don't need to wait for him to emerge from the experience, and when the time comes, Gu Chen will finish the assessment and then go to the prison realm to meet us. ”

Regarding Gu Chen's current situation of joining the Five Evil Realms, Zhang Chen is not very easy to disclose.

"That's the end of today's meeting, and everyone disperses. Recuperate and mediate the state as quickly as possible. ”

As Elder Wu announced the end of the meeting, Xiong Ling was indifferent as a position. Then asked Zhang Chen in a friendly and inquiring tone:

"It seems that there is still one thing that has not been confirmed, I don't know which side Zhang Chen you belong to? Next, will we return to the ranks of our prison envoys to act together, or will we still take refuge in Yu Ming's side? ”

In fact, Wu Lao did not forget to ask about this issue, but deliberately did not mention it at the meeting, and planned to discuss it with Zhang Chen in private. After all, if Zhang Chen still chooses to follow Yu Ming's actions, this will not be good for the influence of Huaxia Kingdom and Zhang Chen's current status as a prison envoy.

"I have my own plans. Since I chose to follow Yu Ming and become one of the five evils, I will always maintain this identity. However, I was still quite friendly to the prison envoys. We can communicate with each other about any information. ”

Zhang Chen categorically refused to return to the prison envoy's side, and Xiong Ling, who received the reply, did not show any objection or dissatisfaction, but said to Zhang Chen with a smile:

"Since it is Zhang Chen's choice, we will not stop it. In short, Azathoth is the opponent of all living beings. No matter which front you stand on, Zhang Chen. Everyone is an ally. ”

"Yes."

Xiong Ling's friendliness, which was a little too much, made Zhang Chen feel a little uncomfortable.

After the meeting was dispersed, after the prison captains present left the scene, Zhang Chen accompanied Wu Lao to a shop selling groceries in Lingcheng Commercial Street, where the jailer boss greeted Wu Lao like an old customer to the storage room at the back of the shop when he saw Wu Lao coming.

Under Zhang Chen's perception, the owner of the grocery store deliberately suppressed the rank, and his true identity belonged to the first-level prison department, and his strength was enough to rank in the top 20 of the 100 people list.

The floor vacated in the center of the room where a large amount of inventory was placed was opened by the special key in Wu Lao's hand. Zhang Chen followed Wu Lao to the secret passage, and after the spatial transfer, he came to a private room that no one knew.

Neither the room nor Zhang Chen was quite sure where it was located in the approximate prison cell.

The rooms are furnished with old furniture. However, it is kept tidy and it seems that someone will come to clean it up every once in a while.

"Just sit down, the old man's humble house still hopes you don't dislike it."

Zhang Chen and Wu Lao sat opposite each other at a table, and the next topic was first initiated by Wu Lao.

"Zhang Chen, you insist on choosing to follow Yu Ming, I don't have much opinion, as long as you finally stop Azathoth's actions, it doesn't matter who stands up. However, the old man must tell you that you must be careful no matter how careful you are a person who can endure under Azathoth for a thousand years, kill the prison captain in the prison room, and make the whole prison room go round and round up, and finally get the emperor's inheritance. ”

Elder Wu was quite concerned about Zhang Chen, and was quite relieved to see that Zhang Chen had reached a height equal to or even higher than himself in less than fifty years since he became a prison captain. Between the words, he couldn't help but put his arm on Zhang Chen's shoulder.

"When the gods accepted you as a disciple, in my opinion, you are just relatively special, and you have never reached such a height as you are today, I believe that your current strength and I may not be able to take you with me. I've been watching you grow up, and I'm discovering that you're extraordinary, and I feel that all of this, including what happened in prehistory, is related to you. ”

"Senior Wu, how do you say this?" Zhang Chen wondered, I don't know why Elder Wu would come to such a conclusion.

"After you get a special and distinctive title - Devouring Hunt, and I am in charge of the management of the wooden cards in Spirit City that have been given the title of Prison Captain by the Prison, your special title means that you have completely replaced the former Devourer, rather than simply inheriting his legacy.

I still know a little bit about the development of prehistoric dynasties, and based on some of my investigations, I'm guessing if you had something to do with Hunting in the first place. ”

"Why do you guess like that?" Zhang Chen asked puzzled.

"Hunting is very similar to yours, walking in the way, and the body is demonized. But I'm also guessing, the real answer should be slowly figured out by yourself. ”

Zhang Chen mainly came to discuss with Wu Lao about Yu Ming's departure from the prehistoric dynasty, but he didn't expect Wu Lao to talk about the prehistoric dynasty.

However, since Wu Lao explained that he had some understanding of the affairs of the prehistoric dynasty, Zhang Chen immediately picked up the topic.

"Elder Wu, do you know why Hunter was removed from prison? After all, a prison governor like the predecessor of Devouring Hunt is an indispensable absolute combat power for the prison room, and I'm afraid it's rare to see it in 10,000 years, right? Also, after being driven out of the dynasty by the emperor, did you settle somewhere or do you have any related deeds when you were exiled from Zero? ”

Wu Lao frowned slightly when he heard Zhang Chen's question, and seemed to be rummaging through old information about prehistoric dynasties in his mind.

"You also know some things, for the fact that Devourer was deprived of his status as a prison envoy, you should also know that at that time, the prehistoric dynasty set foot on all the territory in the prison, and Devourer's exploits were even more prominent than that of the emperor. When the dynasty finally stabilized and prospered, the imperial power was fully controlled by the emperor, but secretly more than half of the people's voices were biased towards hunting. ”

"Did the Emperor think that such a reputation as a threat to his position and to preserve his position and the stability of the country was to exile him? This doesn't explain why the predecessors of the hunting were stripped of their status as prison envoys, right? Zhang Chen asked rhetorically.

Wu Lao sat down and pinched his beard and said, "It really doesn't make sense." The old man likes to study history on weekdays, and I think that the truth at that time was not that the emperor unilaterally thought that the hunting would threaten the imperial power and rejected the hunting, but that the actual action of the hunting really had an impact on the stability of the imperial power and the prehistoric dynasty. ”

"Could it be that the old man Wu did you know what the senior did at that time?"

Zhang Chen also had such suspicions in his heart, otherwise there was no need for Zero Room, and he would do everything to remove such an important prison superintendent.

"I have a rough idea of the specific situation at that time from a broken scroll that was burned and destroyed from the Waji Continent, after all, the prehistoric dynasty has long been extinct, and I have not made this matter public.

The information recorded in the mutilated scroll shows that Eater seems to be dissatisfied with the emperor's way of governing the country, and has a more perfect way of governing the country in his heart, and wants to build a perfect utopian kingdom on the basis of the prosperous prehistoric dynasty. ”

"A utopian country? Impossible, right? ”

"Because it is impossible to realize, and the utopian kingdom is also contrary to the emperor's heart, the document handed over to the emperor by the devouring hunt was immediately rejected, and even if the devouring hunt has the support of several imperial officials behind it, the emperor cannot accept such an opinion."

Wu Lao handed over the fragment stored in the space to Zhang Chen, which seems to have been written by a historian in the prehistoric period, and a large amount of information was lost due to the burning fire.

"The incinerated fragments have been restored to the maximum extent possible, and the remaining part of the information is not available.

However, through speculation, it should be determined that it was because of this incident that there were contradictions and disputes between the two people, which led to the eventual devouring of the hunt's behavior angering the prison and depriving him of his identity, and at the same time losing all the dynasty's supporters because of his actions, the emperor also drew a line with the hunting and expelled him from the prehistoric dynasty. ”

"Building a Utopian Nation......"

Zhang Chen suddenly recalled his first life, his dissatisfaction and resentment against the status quo of the whole world, and felt as if there was a real connection in this darkness.

"Elder Wu, thank you for telling me about these things, in fact, the main purpose of my coming to Lingcheng is not to participate in the prison captain's meeting, but to discuss with you about an important matter."

Zhang Chen told Wu Lao about Yu Ming's plan to move the ruins of the prehistoric dynasty to the Zero Five Evil Realms.

"Do you still come to me to talk to me knowing that I can't agree?"

"Yu Ming seems to have his thoughts, saying that he will show you this handwritten letter." Zhang Chen handed over the letter entrusted by Yu Ming to Wu Lao.

"I'd like to see what kind of letters shake me." (To be continued.) )
