Chapter 489 The Monster Is Indeed a Monster

Taishang Laojun seemed a little confused after hearing my inquiry, but he still explained: "I don't come to this place very often. This is only my third time here. The last time was hundreds of years ago. . It’s strange, it wasn’t like this when I came here!”

"Could it be that the management was too lax and everyone ran away?"

"Are you pretending to be a ghost at the door to look good?" Taishang Laojun said angrily.

"But this place obviously has front and back doors, but only the front door is guarded, and the back here is still open. Besides, look at the walls around here. Even a strong mortal can climb over it with bare hands at this height. Right? Can these ancient monsters be imprisoned with just this broken wall? Are you trying to fool me?"

Taishang Laojun turned around and said, "Didn't I tell you everything? Those monsters don't want to escape, so our restrictions are just for show. Placing two super powerful ghost generals shows that we attach great importance to them. In fact, it is of no use. If these guys really want to run away, it will be useless even if all the thirty ghost generals come. Although the demon king on the fourteenth floor will definitely not be able to defeat the thirty ghost generals working together, but if They are determined to run away, even if Daozu comes, it will be useless."

"This place of yours is really..." I thought for a while but still didn't finish my sentence, and then suddenly changed the topic: "But now I'm here to pick someone. Why do you want me to pick someone when there's no ghost here?"

Taishang Laojun was also a little embarrassed when he heard this. After all, he had persuaded me for a long time before letting me come to this fourteenth floor. Finally, I came all the way and saw an empty courtyard. This is indeed a bit unreasonable.

"Don't be anxious! I'll go and ask." After Taishang Laojun finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ran to the gate. Then he asked the ghost general who had received the announcement before: "General, are you with me?" Let me ask, where are all the demon kings here?"

"Oh, you mean the Demon King? They all went to the torture hall over there to watch the fun."

"Execution hall? Are you watching the excitement? You mean they are all out?" I suddenly walked out from behind Taishang Laojun and asked in surprise.

The ghost general opposite did not refuse to answer the question because I was a stranger, but answered seriously: "They go there often, what's so strange about that?"

"I...forget it!" I sighed helplessly. I turned to Taishang Laojun and asked, "Do you think we should go directly to the fifteenth floor or...?"

Taishang Laojun said awkwardly: "We're here anyway. Let's go look for it! Well, to be honest, I don't know that the management here is now loose enough to let them go out for a walk! Last time I It wasn’t like this when I came here!”

"Please, you said it yourself. The last time you came here was hundreds of years ago. I don't know how many dynasties have changed in the world for hundreds of years. It's good if you just change a few rules here. Oh, right. Well, where is the execution hall? I don’t know the road here!"

"Don't you recognize me?" Taishang Laojun looked at me in surprise.

Instead, I looked at him more surprised and asked, "Should I know?"

Taishang Laojun nodded matter-of-factly and said: "Isn't this for sure? You are also the Eleventh Hall of Hell, right? You also have the responsibility to look after this hell, okay?"

"Eh...forget about this!"

Knowing that I was in the wrong, I was too embarrassed to say anything, so I obediently asked Taishang Laojun to find a way to find that torture hall. Fortunately, the ghost messenger who led us knew the way, so we asked them to take us to the execution hall. Not a single word was mentioned in the middle. After we decided to leave, the ghost general who guarded the gate actually vomited out something like the imperial list, and then gave it back to Taishang Laojun. It is said that this thing can be reused. You have to hand it over when entering the gate and get it back when you come out.

This torture hall is actually not far from the prison where we are. Not far after walking around, you can see a large group of buildings after turning around a small forest, and you can hear faint screams from a long distance away. , as we got closer, the sound began to become clearer and clearer, and finally turned into a scream of crying for father and mother. Some of them don't even sound like human voices anymore.

In fact, I have heard this kind of sound. Although I am not familiar with this place, I am still the king of hell. Even if it is temporary, I am still the king of hell, so I know something about this hell. Although I have never been to this fourteenth level of hell before, I have seen it once in the first hell after I became the King of Hell. The sounds there are almost the same as here. Anyway, hell is a place where people are tortured, and no matter how miserable it is, it is normal.

Because Taishang Laojun is here and I have the King of Hell's Order on me, the ghost soldiers along the way are busy saluting when they see us. After all, it is rare to see such a rare existence as those ghost generals.

After arriving at the execution hall, we immediately called a few ghost soldiers to inquire about it, and found that these demons were actually frequent visitors here. Just ask.

"Two adults, those demon kings are in Hall No. 3, and we are in Hall No. 7."

"No. 3? Where is it?"

"It's right behind here. Shall I take you there?" the ghost soldier said enthusiastically.

"Then lead the way." I said directly.

The ghost soldier didn't waste any time and turned around to leave. We followed him and quickly left the front hall. However, before we reached the back, we found a large group of people walking towards us. When the ghost soldier saw it from afar, he stopped and said to us: "You two, those are the demon kings you are looking for. It looks like they are planning to go back."

I nodded and waved off the ghost soldier, and then said to the Supreme Lord, "Are they considered to be in jail?"

Taishang Laojun also said with a strange expression: "It shouldn't count!"

"You are the only one in heaven who has such a weird prison!" I said and took the lead to walk towards the demons over there. The Supreme Lord saw that I was leaving first and could only follow.

This underworld is a relatively open place with few people and few people. There were even very few obstacles, so we could see those monsters from a distance, and they also noticed us as soon as we came up.

I'm a little bit better. There is a five-color aura behind the Taishang Laojun, which is very different from the aura on the ghost soldiers in hell. Standing there is like a lighthouse in the dark night, as bright as it wants. The group of monsters far away saw Taishang Laojun here, and then discovered that there was a person with a very complicated aura next to him. They discovered that my body contains powerful power, but its attributes are very messy. There is actually some kind of power that only the King of Hell has. The demons don't quite understand this situation, but that's all they have now. Not that I have any scruples.

After taking the initiative to greet us, one of the leading demons stood up and gave a slight salute to Taishang Laojun. Although it was considered a salute, it was just like a normal greeting and a nod, but it was actually very light. As for the demons in the back, most of them stood with their arms folded, waiting for the guy in front to communicate, but they had no intention of saluting us or saying hello.

Although they now know that their fate is over, these monsters are all powerful and powerful, and they are now prisoners. Even if they already know that there is no possibility of a comeback, they will never whisper to please Heaven. This is called Qi Festival. It absolutely cannot be lost. As for the one who saluted first... This guy is actually a sociable person by nature, so it has become a habit to be polite when meeting others, and he naturally says hello. Of course, he was being polite, and if he really talked about something real, he would never be vague.

After you, the leader of the demon king, finished your salute, you directly asked: "How come the Supreme Master has no time to see us prisoners today? The person next to you seems to be a stranger. I don't know his identity?"

"Oh, here's the thing." Taishang Laojun briefly introduced the agreement I reached with Heavenly Court to these demons, and then took out a list of papers to show them.

The demon king who took the lead touched the article, then opened it carefully and read it. Finally, he looked at me and asked, "Are you the Ziri mentioned above?"

I nodded and said: "That's right. I am Ziri, the president of the Frost Rose Alliance. If you are willing to join my organization, then you will become members of the Chaos and Order Protoss to which our guild belongs. We, Chaos and Order The Gods have a very unique advantage. Although I cannot tell you directly because this advantage is a secret, as long as you are willing to join, I guarantee that even if you die, you will not be willing to leave our Frost Rose Alliance."

"You've been talking for so long and it's all just empty promises, and you expect us to follow you just because you're satisfied with the proof? Do you think what we think is worthless?" After saying that, the demon king directly put the hand in his hand. The Bang Wen patted Taishang Laojun's arms. Then he looked at me and said: "We are all demon kings, great and free demon kings. You actually want us to be your subordinates? When Heaven was so powerful, we didn't give in. Do you think you can do it?"

"I don't think you will succumb because of my power. What I mean is for you to join our Frost Rose Alliance and become one of us. You previously founded an independent sect yourself, but failed. Now Zhongyuan Dingding, each The Road God Clan has basically taken shape. Even if you go out, it is impossible to form another camp. Therefore, your only way out is to follow us. The Guild God Clan and the Regional God Clan are two independent entities that do not conflict with each other. Compared to the closed market of the regional gods. In the field of guild gods, everyone is basically blank. If you join, you can make great strides in development. Isn't this degree of freedom higher than that among the regional gods?"

"Although what you said is very good, this kind of thing is not something we can simply decide. So, let's go home first, shall we?"

"go home?"

"Hey, it's the Tianlao." The monster opposite looked at me in surprise and knew that I couldn't understand what they meant by home, so he added another sentence.

I understood it as soon as I heard it was Tianlao, but to be honest, I was really shocked by these guys. The work of these demons actually calls the prison cell home. But from another perspective, the guards in this cell do not restrict their access. On the contrary, people from outside need special passes to enter. How does this look like a prison? Is this an entire military compound? Besides, we paid attention to it when we went in to see it before. The interior of the prison is not a grid prison with bars and doors, but a set of independent houses. Although these houses only cover an area of ​​a few hundred square meters each, they are all small buildings with two or three floors, and from the looks of it, they seem to be one per person. You said that this kind of community with single-family villas has armed guards at the door. How does this look like a prison cell?

Being confused by these guys, I felt dizzy and returned to the door of the prison. As a result, those guys went in laughing and joking, but Taishang Laojun and I actually had to show that thing again. The list was written so that the ghosts would swallow it, and then we were released.

Once we entered the prison, the demons led us to one of the small houses. Then let us follow in. After I pushed open the door of that room, I didn't feel anything was wrong, but after turning a corridor, I unexpectedly discovered that there was a large lake outside the room on the side of the corridor. Although there is a pool inside this Tianlao, it is not as exaggerated as a lake at all. And there is actually a lake outside the window of this house, which is really strange.

Taishang Laojun, who was walking next to me, saw me looking outside in a daze and turned his head to look at it. Then he suddenly explained to me: "The house here has its own compressed space, so what you see from the outside is the same as what you see from the inside." It's different. In fact, each of these houses has an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, and there is an independent courtyard outside that is more than a hundred times the size of the house. The lake you see is also one of the buildings that comes with this house."

"Damn it. The treatment in your place is so good, isn't it? Can I book a room later?"

Taishang Laojun knew that I was speaking sarcastically, so he ignored me. Go straight ahead. After passing through the corridor, we arrived in front of a room. The door of this room was in the ancient Chinese style, which is the Japanese structure that everyone knows. In fact, the so-called Japanese-style structure should be a design style from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient China. The houses I lived in at that time had the structure of the Japanese-style buildings today. The doors are basically sliding doors, and there are no chairs in the house. Everyone kneels and sits on the floor. The table in front is also very short, about the same as a modern coffee table with nine legs.

This place was originally intended for the ancient demons to live in, so it is understandable that the style is a bit traditional. But as soon as the door of this room was opened, I became restless. Is this the living room he's talking about? Is this a supermarket that doesn’t have shelves yet? At first glance, it is conservatively estimated that it starts at at least 2,000 square meters, and there is not a single pillar in the middle. It is a huge space, and there is a circle of U-shaped seats facing the door. Of course, these seats are all Japanese-style, which means you need to kneel and sit on the ground.

"I always thought that the conference hall of our Frost Rose Alliance was big enough, but when I saw your living room, I suddenly felt a lot of pressure!"

The demon in the lead said with a smile: "I am just a prisoner. This is just a prison, no matter how big it is, it is not mine. On the contrary, it is your conference hall. Although I have never seen it, even if it is only a thatched hut, then It’s also your own. The meaning is different, right?”

"As expected of the Demon King, he has an open mind." After I finished speaking, I went directly to the topic without waiting for the other party to answer: "Well... Taishang Laojun has already told you about our intention before. And everyone also I heard it. As long as there are no problems, I will get everyone out. Of course, the premise is that you are willing to go out. If you refuse, I can't take you out. There are also those who have already gone out. If they cause trouble, not only will I send them back, but everyone else, whether they have gone out or not, will be forcibly deported, so... in the end, whether this plan can succeed or not depends on everyone's wishes."

What I said was quite polite. Although the matter was actually decided by the Jade Emperor and I, in the end this matter still requires the nod of these monsters themselves. After all, whether these guys are unwilling to go out or they make trouble for me after going out, this matter All will obviously turn yellow. Of course, if there are only one or two people who don't do it, it doesn't matter. Our Frost Rose Alliance is not a soft persimmon. People who deliberately agree to go out and make trouble with me after they go out, I naturally have ways to cure them, but the premise is that there cannot be too many such monsters.

However, I didn’t actually worry too much this time because Taishang Laojun had already introduced it before. Most of these demons still want to go out and have a look. After all, no matter how free they are, they are still in jail. These demon kings naturally hope to get out, and as Taishang Laojun introduced before, these demons are not the same as modern demons. . Just like if they are the same criminals, political prisoners and criminal prisoners will behave very differently. Most criminals are extremely vicious people. Although some cases are forced to be overturned, most of them are not good people. Once they are released, they are likely to do something bad again. On the contrary, political prisoners only have different opinions and ideologies. They do not or will not directly harm ordinary people in society. As long as they are not allowed to have access to rights, there will be no problems.

Although these demon kings are not political prisoners, their situation is very similar to that of political prisoners, so as long as they are not given any chance to establish themselves again. Then there's nothing to worry about. As long as they don't become the boss of a certain group again, these guys can work safely. In this regard, they are very different from modern monsters.

After I finished talking about the matter, the demons immediately started discussing it. There are a total of thirty-two demons in the entire fourteenth level of the heavenly prison. The voices gathered to discuss are not too quiet. However, although their voices are not quiet, the language they speak is messy. To me, It's really a chicken-and-duck talk. Don't tell me yet. There seems to be a chicken monster and a duck monster inside.

I also know that this kind of thing is a major choice in their lives, so it is not something that can be decided immediately. So I didn't rush them. Anyway, we destroyed the Russians' plan to attack Essinger, which means that their large forces cannot launch a large-scale invasion according to the original plan and take advantage of our chaotic command. Under such circumstances, I don't have to rush back. I even think that the Russian player's invasion will end here without any problem. Of course, if they really continue to invade, I will still go back, but everything in the guild is stable now, so I don't have to be so anxious. Anyway, Heaven has agreed to intervene in this matter. If they find any excuse to deceive their tens or hundreds of thousands of people, I don't believe they dare to continue rushing into our territory.

The demons here are having a very heated discussion. On the other side, Taishang Laojun and I could only sit there. After waiting for a while, I suddenly felt someone pulling my arm. Niutou took a look and found that it was a super cute little boy. This little boy looked about three years old, with a bare buttocks, only a red t-shirt on his body, an upturned braid on his head, and two little cheeks that were both red and pouty. Just looking at it makes you want to take a bite. However... even though this is a doll that looks to be only two or three years old, I don't dare to be careless at all.

This is not a neighbor's kid. This place is a prison, a place where monsters are kept, and ordinary monsters can't get in at all. Anyone who can live in this place is an ancient monster that gives even Heaven a headache. Therefore, don’t be fooled by the appearance of this guy’s three-year-old child. This place existed in the early days of the establishment of Heavenly Court. Even if this little guy was captured when he was just born, he is still a few thousand years old now. What's more, it is impossible for Heavenly Court to catch a useless child, so when this guy was first caught, he must have no idea what level of monster he was. Calculated this way, this kid is only 10,000 years old.

"Then what...senior, what can I do for you?"

"Big brother, I..."

This monster just shouted "big brother" in an arrogant voice, but I reached out and stopped him. "I said, don't make fun of me. Do I look that old? You are all ancient demons here. Who do you think is younger than six thousand years old? I'm not even sixty! What's your name? My brother! You want me to agree like this?"

"Hehe, you are very smart." This old monster stopped pretending when he saw that I had exposed him. Although the manner in which he spoke was still the same, the content of his words had returned to normal. "Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. I just want to ask, does your alliance control a large area of ​​land?"

"Ah?" Although the other party's question was not an unanswerable question, it was too simple, which made me a little dazed, but I quickly came to my senses and nodded: "Big, very big. In the land of China now, we Guilds all have a certain right to speak. Although some places are not directly led by us, we can influence the thoughts and behaviors of the owners of those places. Moreover, we also have a large number of directly-administered territories overseas. I don’t know why you ask this? "

When the old monster heard what I said, he immediately nodded and said, "In that case, I agree to hang out with you."

"Huh?" The other party's words made me fall into confusion again. This guy didn't ask about any treatment, he just wanted to join, and it's just because our guild has a relatively large territory. Isn't this too strange? However, it is always a good thing when someone agrees to join, so I said directly: "Well, although I am very happy that you agree to join, I have also reached an agreement with the Jade Emperor. I can only take five people out for the first time, and I have already A quota has basically been set, so there are only four spots available.”

"You mean you don't want me?"

"No, no, no, the agreement I reached with the Jade Emperor is that we can only bring five this time. If there is no problem, we can bring six next time. One more place each time. After a few more times, we will all go out. As for whether you You can go out with me this time. This depends on the abilities of the demon kings who finally agree to go with me. Then I will weigh the ones who are more useful during this period and take them out first. After all, they are going out. I’m also here to stand in front of you, right?”

The monster nodded and said: "That's right. But I still hope you can take me out as soon as possible. I am different from them. Their life here is basically the same as outside. Although their strength cannot increase even a little bit, they will not I am regressing, but here I am restricted everywhere, and my strength is always declining. If I stay here for a while longer, I am worried that my level will decline. A simple loss of energy can naturally be recovered quickly as long as I take a place with abundant energy. , but if this realm also falls, it will be difficult to practice back."

"Oh, that's it!" I glanced at the doll monster with some embarrassment, then looked back at Taishang Laojun over there, and finally asked: "Well, can I ask what kind of monster you were before? Really? And what are your abilities?"

"Oh, you're talking about this!" said the little doll-like monster, "Actually, I was just a grass before."

"Grass?" I thought there was something special about this grass, so I asked, "Are you talking about some ancient exotic grass?"

"No." The little doll shook his head and said, "It's just the kind of grass outside. The kind you can see everywhere."

"I..." Originally I wanted to spray this guy, but luckily I stopped him in time. Although this guy says he is a piece of grass, this is actually not a problem at all. Being able to be locked up in the sky prison and still on the fourteenth floor speaks volumes in itself. Even if this guy was originally a weed, standing here is no ordinary grass. This is definitely at the level of grass jelly. No, no, the grass jelly is not that exaggerated. This is definitely the god of grasses, the battle grass among weeds. Wanting to understand the command, I asked cautiously: "Um... I'll take the liberty to ask. What is your ability...?"

"Yan Ling."

"What?"

"Yan Ling. What I say will become true."

Plop...

"Hey, don't faint! You haven't said whether you want me or not!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
