Chapter Seventy-Two: The Cell
"Ping Pong...... Clark ......"
Moving his hand, Jack opened his eyes on the cold ground, he turned his head from side to side, and saw in the dim light the stained bluestone, and the tiny white worms crawled in the cracks of the stone, and were forced back by a "big tide" in the distance. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
So why do you smell urine?
Sitting up suddenly, Jack let out a painful sigh, he had just almost twisted his two arms, only then did he realize that he was wearing forbidden gloves on his hands, and the iron rings at the wrists were attached to strong chains, hanging on the walls on both sides, because the length of these two chains was limited, so Jack had to keep his arms open, otherwise his hands would be hurt a second time.
He turned his head again, and took a new look at the place he was, it was a small cell, and because it was very cold, it was probably the dungeon of the city lord's manor or some other place.
The cell looked to be a few years old, the wooden bed in the corner was rotten, the potty (toilet) next to Jack was littered with rotting excrement, spilled urine spreading on the floor, and the flies it attracted let out a low cry of joy - apparently the cell was still in use not so long ago.
"Huh~" Jack's face was full of disgust, although he didn't have a habit of cleanliness, but people from 2090 had seen such a dirty place. He jerked to his feet, but his unsteady center of gravity caused him to fall to the ground again.
"Fuck!" scolded his bad luck in a low voice, Jack wanted to rub his poor little ass, but unfortunately, his hand could not be taken back, not only could he not rub his ass, but he could not even prop himself up, he could only rely on his waist to stand up, and always pay attention to the position of his hand.
Having said that, in the face of such a situation, looking at the people in the other cell opposite the iron railing, Jack did not have the slightest nervousness and fear, and he even laughed softly, because he had already crossed the most nervous and risky moment.
Ask, how can a person enter the enemy's heavily guarded prison for those who resist?
In order to do this, two demanding requirements need to be met: first, the person must ensure that the person fighting him will not be killed, and second, the person must be sure that he will not be captured and killed immediately.
Can Jack guarantee it? No. Is Jack sure? After all, he didn't want to take such a risk in the first place, because his plan at that time was not to be caught, but to really hijack the fake Peter and walk in openly.
At night, he found a scroll in the basement that recorded how to open Reflection City, and he learned that opening Reflection City also required a magic key, which was hidden in another basement of the Scarlett family - and there were many layers of magic protection. This made him understand that the demon would inevitably send someone to take the magic key. So, Jack first went to get the key and memorized it in his mind, and then a [Ignition Technique] burned the paper with the magic circle to ashes.
Later, Jack, who felt that this was too passive and wanted to take the initiative, thought about it, and he got a revelation from yesterday's events - could it be that a demon would transform into an acquaintance of his and sneak into the manor and take the magic key without knowing it?
As we all know, demons have the same structure as humans except for the absence of whites of their eyes and the presence of shark teeth, Jack has read the book "Talking about Demons", in which the anatomy chapter introduces that the demon's eye frame is a kind of fusiform "eyeball", which is a very flexible structure, and there is no pupil, which causes the demon's vision to be a bit like a fixed vision in a camera, because the eyeball cannot move, so it can only move the vision by turning the head - this is of course one of the demons' weaknesses.
Obviously, the demon does not have the dilation and contraction of the pupils, and it may not be visible in the usual expression, but in the case of a sudden illumination of the strong light, how will the demon react?
So, starting with poor Ramadi Eloson, Jack experimented with his glare-light identification method, and he was undoubtedly fortunate to find the demon lurking in while playing a prank on the second person, and then, of course, he shook his wit and found a good reason for his glare-light identification method - night exploration of the demon base.
With the fake Peter as a hostage and the magic key as a hole card, he may be able to rescue the professional that the demon has captured—he corrected the information from Lucy from the old butler, and learned that the demon needs thirteen level 6 professional people as living sacrifices. No matter how bad it is, he also has the capital to talk to the demons, and they may be able to come up with a new, more human-friendly compromise.
Jack knows that there are risks in this matter, but basically half of the gains of human beings come from risk returns, where can you achieve great things without risking, Jack has been trying to be a bold and careful person, but, after all, he still missed one thing, the illusion from Lucy made him think that the demon's transformation masters are all about the same as Lucy's weak guys, but fake Peter is not, but outrageously strong.
By the time he thought of this possibility, they had already entered the City Lord's Manor, and he didn't dare to back down at this point—because it was too deliberate. However, Jack analyzes the various possibilities of the matter, and he may be caught and imprisoned, but he will not be killed immediately, just as the demon did not continue to hunt him down. If you think about it from another perspective, for the demon, Jack is just a small character like an ant, it doesn't matter if he kills or not, the "noble" identity of this small role makes him a troublesome person, but this identity also has use value, if he can also become a demon believer or an inferior demon, then he will become another pawn of the demon.
Of course, even in the worst-case scenario, Jack feels that he has the magic key as his hole card and can get away with it.
No matter what the possibility is, it has come to this point, Jack can only choose to reveal the identity of the fake Peter, if he really wants to fight hard, he may not be able to break through the defense of the outer guards. However, Jack clearly miscalculated again, and the fake Peter's counterattack was so sharp and fast that Jack didn't even have a chance to shake out his hole cards.
Simply, Jack deserves to be a person with super luck, and the smirk of fake Peter's "Goodbye" still put Jack at ease, at least the demon didn't say "Farewell", didn't it?
Anyway, Jack, who had been knocked unconscious, was here when he woke up again.
The cold cell was filled with a disgusting stench, and the prison conditions were completely inhumane, so of course Jack wanted to escape as soon as possible.
However, he can't control his magic at all, and his physical strength is far from enough to break the chains, so what should he do?
With weapons, of course, as long as he has a space ring, Jack can get a lot of weapons, and he can completely destroy this cell.
Jack thanked himself for his foresight, and when he realized the possible danger of the fake Peter, he followed the advice of [Star] and secretly swallowed the spatial ring into his stomach, otherwise his spatial ring would definitely be stolen, and now he would not be able to face this desperate cage with such composure.
Humans are, of course, weak creatures, from ancient times to the present day, and from now on.
But we have long recognized our weakness, which allows us to use our brains to create tools and weapons, and this weakness to make us humble and prudent, and to constantly reduce risks.
Human beings can become victors not because of how many Dharma God Sword Saints we have, but because we have self-knowledge.
To put it bluntly, it is because we are more insidious and cunning than demons.
