In prison, dark, without light.

It seems that all the prisons in the world look like they are normal, with old walls crawling with wet moss, well-guarded aisles and only straw mats in the cells where the prisoners are held, where many of the most heinous criminals will spend the rest of their lives.

Jiuhan knew that he would never spend the rest of his life here, but three hours passed, and not a quarter of an hour was not watched. That kind of surveillance didn't refer to the surveillance of the soldiers guarding the prison, after all, no matter how strong the individual strength and combat experience of those soldiers were, they were just ordinary human beings, but he was already in the holy realm, and he could freely choose a cultivator who was beyond the world. What bothered Jiu Ban extremely much was that during the three hours he entered the prison, the aura of at least one Saint Realm master always stayed on his body, and this kind of surveillance that was almost equivalent to face-to-face was really uncomfortable for him. You must know that the cultivation of the sage is enough to transmit sound for thousands of miles, and the senses can come in an instant, as long as you catch your breath, then everything will become easier.

So how do you escape? That's the question I've been thinking about. It seemed impossible to force his way out, and no matter how strong he was, it would be impossible for him to get away under the siege of three powerhouses of the same realm. And what about dressing up and sneaking out? He quickly dismissed his idea, almost as childish. Although this is also a dungeon, a dungeon is different from a dungeon. If it's in the dungeon of an ordinary city, there is still a possibility of a fight, but this is the dungeon of Shiwang City, the capital of the country of the Mocking Wind, and it is even called "Heavenly Hell". At this moment, Nine and a Half are imprisoned in the ninth layer of the underground, and the legend says that this prison with a total of ten floors is impregnable, and the tenth layer even imprisons old monsters beyond the Holy Realm, which is a prison established by using all the power of the entire Mocking Wind Country. Want to slip out of the inside?

After denying his own idea, Jiuhan was still thinking hard, but then the sound of footsteps came. Soon, in the dim light of the narrow corridor, a man in heavy armor came slowly, carrying a plate on which there seemed to be wine and meat, and his shadow floated in the dim light of the lamp, and the sound of heavy footsteps came one after another, like the sound of drums before the coming of war. Nine and a half, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground, raised his head and looked at him, not knowing why. The man approached the door of the cell unhurriedly, opened a small opening in the iron bar, then gently pushed in the plate that was placed on the floor, then closed the opening for the delivery, turned around, and left. Nine and a half kept staring at him the whole time, but he didn't seem to put nine and a half in his eyes, just silently finished what he was going to do and then turned away. Nine and a half don't know if that feeling is indifference or timidity.

Lowering his head and looking at the plate, Jiuhan's mood still did not change. The contents of the plate are simple, a pot of wine, a steamed bun, and half a catty of cooked beef, nothing more. Is it a decapitated meal? But it doesn't seem to be that simple, right?

"Hey, what are these?" shouted at the heavily armored man before he was far away. But the other party ignored him, and still left step by step by himself.

The candle flame was still dim, and the soldiers in the hallway were already standing like that. The soldiers' faces were hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly. Jiu Ban grabbed a piece of cooked beef and sniffed it, and there seemed to be no problem. So, eat it, don't eat it, don't eat it. He thought to himself, so he grabbed the piece of cooked beef and stuffed it into his mouth. I can't escape for a while, so why treat myself badly?

Before the beef could be eaten, a familiar voice suddenly came, making him feel as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt, and the beef stopped at his mouth and failed to enter his mouth.

"I've already stepped into the Holy Realm, why are you still so brainless?" The voice was a little old, but it couldn't hide its youthful vigor and vitality. Although it was not familiar, the voice that was not unfamiliar startled Nine and a Half. Out of nervousness, he "banged" and directly pinched the beef in his hand, and then said with a grudge:

"You're the ......"

"Okay, okay, I know you can't remember who I am," the unprovoked voice said, "I'm Z, the one who saved you and gave you a new lease of life." Since you can't think of me, I don't care, anyway, you need me, and I need you too. ”

"No kidding. Nine and a half almost rejected him with a sip of wine, and then out of nervousness, he suddenly stood up and said, "I need you? You're just a bewitching monster, I don't know why you're there, but I definitely don't need you!"

The man who was imprisoned on the ninth floor of the prison was a little excited, but what he didn't notice was that from the time he kneaded the ground beef to the time he stood up, it was almost like a crazy self-talk, and the guards didn't feel abnormal at all. The guards standing in the hallway just stood there with their backs straight, their faces hidden in the shadows in the dim candlelight.

Z is a little helpless, it seems that everything has returned to the original time, the first time he contacted Jiuhan, or when Lin Ze was back then, the other party also maintained an attitude of never believing, "You are a fool" to treat himself, but in the end, didn't he still obediently obey? It seems that this can only be the case.

Nine Half's anger made him jump to his feet and roar, but the next moment, as if he had been reborn, Nine Half suddenly felt as if something had been born from his body. Then he watched in amazement as a figure stepped out of his body, turned his head, and sat down in front of him. That person, the man, no matter the height and body type or the face, is no different from himself.

Jiu Ban was surprised, stunned, and then Z's voice appeared in his ears again: "Do you believe it now? If you don't believe it, break the steamed bun, and there is the key to the cell inside." ”

Staring at the person in front of him who was exactly the same as himself, but with empty eyes, Jiu and a half were a little depressed. Still in a look of surprise, he turned his hand and touched the white steamed bun beside him, and then gently broke it away with both hands, and sure enough, under the soft texture of the steamed bun, he really touched a very hard thing. He took the object out and put it in front of him to look closely, and sure enough, it was a key.

Although he was already a powerhouse in the Holy Realm, seeing this kind of illusion-like operation that seemed to be creation and regeneration, Jiuhan still couldn't help but scold "I". It's like living for twenty or thirty years and suddenly you find out that you have a half-brother who is definitely your own but you can't be sure if it's a half-brother or a half-brother.

But the surprise was only a few moments, and then he calmed down. If something goes wrong, there must be demons, so the gods and men already belong to the category of demons and monsters, why do they suddenly contact themselves? It's like a god suddenly comes to you and says, "You are my heir, and you can get all my things after passing my test for you, and then you will also be a god." "When this happens, either you are the illegitimate child of the gods, or the gods are looking for a replacement for the dead ghosts. The former is obviously impossible, although Jiuhan has doubts about his identity, but he has no such shit luck; as for the latter, to be honest, he is not far from death anyway, so what is there to worry about?

Of course, Z saw the state of mind of the nine and a half, in fact, at this time, Z's ability had recovered most of it, and he was once again the existence that was almost omnipotently close to God. Striking while the iron was hot, Z said, "I know you can barely remember everything, but I have a way to help you, do you want to listen?"

"I refuse. ”

"But what if I say, this method can make your Qiao He recall everything?"

Hearing this, he suddenly woke up, as if someone had stuffed a whole block of ice around his neck from a drowsiness, he was directly smart, and his eyes changed instantly, as if a person who had been hungry for a long time suddenly saw food. How difficult is it to get Qiao He's memory back? But this Z can actually do it? He can't lie to himself, does he?

However, there are some things that must be done without hesitation. It's like the joy of youth, although there are so many barriers like mountains, and there is almost no end in sight to the layers of pressure, the boy will still fight the girl to laugh, to pierce the clouds to fight against the mountains, to fight against the things he was powerless to fight. There are not most things that people don't want to regret until they live their lives, but the girl in the heart of the teenager is counted as one, and Qiao He in the heart of the nine and a half is also counted as one.

Despite the ups and downs in his heart, Jiu Ban still forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and pretended to be calm and said: "You said you can do this, but why do you want to help me, why do we just meet in the water...... Oh no, your voice has come out twice, but I've never seen what kind of person you are! How do I know if you're planning something wrong?"

"Then you say, how do you want me to prove it?" Although the tone was a little helpless, in fact, Z knew that Jiuhan had fallen into his own routine. This scene was not much different from the first contact, and although Nine and a Half didn't believe him, it still followed his plan step by step. He paused, then continued, "If I can help you escape, you'll probably be able to trust me, right?"

Jiu Ban snorted and laughed, and said, "Escape, of course, if you can help me escape, I will naturally believe you, but there are at least three Saint Realm masters in this Kiss Palace, can you get me out under their watchful eyes?"

Hearing Nine and a Half's words, Z smiled a little disdainfully, of course, some of this disdain was pretended by him. "So in your cognition, is the Holy Realm powerhouse so strong? Don't think that I don't know that when you were imprisoned in this dungeon, there was always a Saint Realm powerhouse's aura staying on your body to spy on you, so you thought you were talking to yourself here for so long, why hasn't that Saint Realm powerhouse found out about it and came to the door?"

Nine and a half were silent, because what Z said was indeed right, and he was powerless to refute it.

"So who helped you cover up everything?" Z's voice kept coming, and his tone became more and more high, and it became more and more oppressive: "Without further ado, let's act." Take the key and open the door, then run away. ”

Z's voice fell, and Nine-Half seemed to be obedient enough to pick up the key and open the door to the prison, and then step out of the prison with that step. Although there seemed to be some resistance in his heart, he opened the door by himself as if he had been forced to order, and this complex emotion spread in Jiuban's heart, making him have a trace of doubt in his heart. When he closed the door, Jiuhan still glanced at the "self" who had just been born from himself, but just a glance was terrifying.

It's so similar.

Viciously slapping his wit, he didn't think much of it, but turned away firmly. Behind, the door of the prison was closed, leaving only the remaining plate of rice and the "nine and a half" who didn't know whether it was true or not.

Walking from the ninth floor of the dungeon to the ground was an extremely long process. It's like going through hell, it's long and scary. Jiuhan seems to have experienced his long life, and he has seen all living beings. In this nine-layer prison, almost all the criminals that a person can see, hear, and hear in his life are imprisoned, robbery, rape, and murder are just pediatrics here, the first six layers are full of such people, and those who can be qualified to enter the seventh and eighth layers are either peerless geniuses or peerless villains.

Z seemed to know everything, and when he escaped through the narrow passage in the cell, he was like a lady next door, babbling non-stop. But the miraculous thing is that in this process, no matter who Jiu and a half meet, what kind of people he meets, and even in the fifth layer of the prison, he meets a high-ranking official who seems to have gone down to the prison to inspect the prison, but everyone seems to be familiar with him, as if they have never seen this person, as if he does not exist in their sight.

"Look at this person," Z said when he passed through a man on the eighth floor whose hands and feet were all locked in chains, and his entire body was suspended in mid-air, "Actually, there are not many wicked people in this world, but he is definitely one." It may be that you, as a Sage, don't have any feelings for a person in the Half-Saint realm, but this person is not an ordinary Demi-Saint. This person is covered in steel and iron bones, especially his hands, which are cultivated like divine blades. If he appeared on the battlefield, he would definitely be a miracle soldier, but unfortunately, this man is a demon. Ten years ago he began to kill people, and every time he killed him, he tore the body of that person with both hands, and no one he killed could leave a whole corpse. It wasn't until three years ago that a sage in the Land of the Mocking Wind spent a lot of effort to capture him, but his steel and iron bones could not be killed, so he was imprisoned in the eighth layer of this heavenly prison for three years. And the most desperate thing about this person is that he didn't eat or drink for three years, and he still didn't die, and he survived. Are you awesome?"

"And this, have you heard of the Thousand Piano Demon?" Z said again when passing by a man with white hair: "A guqin is the world, and the ten fingers of both hands play magic sounds." This man, known as the Thousand Hand Worm Demon, almost gathered a huge force in the territory of the Land of the Mocking Wind, and almost formed a sect system. Later, he was personally captured by the previous monarch with his troops, and if he hadn't sent someone to steal his piano in advance, I'm afraid that no one would have been able to subdue him. But even so, even if his ability almost threatens the rule of the dynasty, the Mocking Wind Monarch still did not choose to kill him, but imprisoned him here, in fact, until now, if the Mocking Wind Monarch wants to subdue someone, he has to bring it to him. ”

......

In this way, Z listened all the way to the nine-and-a-half way, and they walked out of the prison. In fact, the moment he saw the sky and the sun, Jiuhan suddenly felt free. This freedom was not physical freedom, but he instantly felt that the follower of the Holy Realm aura bound to him disappeared, and his actions would no longer be tracked and monitored at this moment, and he could do what he had always wanted to do.

Z's voice reappeared, saying, "How is it, believe me now?"

Jiu Ban scratched his head, as if he was still embarrassed by the distrust he had just had, and then said, "Reluctantly...... Sort of. But I still don't understand why you saved me, aren't there more masters of the Holy Realm in this world?"

"Saving you, naturally, there is my intention, do you remember that you once lost a memory?" Z said, his tone seemed to be meaningful.

Nine and a half rolled his eyes, and then said truthfully: "That's true...... I felt like something was buried deep in my head and I couldn't remember it, and it was a strange feeling. ”

"That's right, you're the person I'm looking for, and as for what I'm looking for you for, I'll remember it when your memory is restored. ”

"So where are we going now?" said Nine-and-a-half. Although Z didn't appear by his side at the moment, it was already a default existence.

"Find your Qiao He first, I said I would help you. ”
