578 If I Don’t Enter Hell, Who Will? (2)
Of course, there were also some criminals who had died too many times and were about to completely lose their memories. Their eyes shone as they headed straight for Xu Qing, wanting to borrow the power of the uncontrolled rules to commit suicide.
If they died from the rules, they wouldn’t be reset. It could be considered a form of relief.
Xu Qing frowned. He lifted his right hand and pressed down as he calmly spoke.
“Space is restricted around me and no one can approach me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the invisible rules of this world on his body suddenly trembled. At the next instant, cracking sounds rang out from the world and invisible threads spread out from all living beings, spreading out from everything in the world and finally gathering beside Xu Qing.
New rules were established.
Those criminals who wanted to commit suicide were immediately expelled just as their bodies were about to approach. It was difficult for them to get close at all, let alone fly.
They had to wait for Xu Qing to leave before they could fly again.
After doing all this, Xu Qing calculated the time and knew that he couldn’t delay for too long. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
On the way, his body kept cracking. He even circulated the rules, causing the ground to seem to shrink under his feet, exchanging for an even faster speed.
Finally, he arrived at the plain where the group of Quasi-Immortal Race prisoners were.
This was the first thing he had to do.
After arriving at the place, he immediately changed the rules. He raised his right hand and grabbed. Immediately, two criminals from the Quasi-Immortal Race rose into the air and were swept away by Xu Qing.
When he arrived at a place with no one around, he did the same thing he did to the Quasi-Immortal criminals from Area D. After successfully planting his anomalous substances in these two Nascent Soul cultivators, Xu Qing fell silent.
“If their memories aren’t erased, the possibility of them becoming immortal puppets would also be reduced… However, the Quasi-Immortal Race isn’t stupid. They will definitely suspect something if there were suddenly those with their memories erased. Therefore, I can’t be too extreme.”
Xu Qing thought about it and decided to send one of the two unconscious Quasi-Immortal Race members back to his original location while leaving the other outside.
“I’ll come here often to observe during this period of time. Before this Quasi-Immortal Race member outside completely loses his memory, I will send him back and only let a portion of his memory be erased.”
Xu Qing had just finished doing it and left the Quasi-Immortal Race in the wilderness. Just as he was about to do the second thing, his expression changed and he suddenly turned his head.
A person had appeared 5000 feet behind him at some point in time!
This person was also wearing a Pawn’s Daoist robe and was one of the Pawns from Area C. He was coldly staring at Xu Qing and then at the Quasi-Immortal Race cultivator in the wilderness. A dark glint appeared in his eyes.
“What are you doing?”
Xu Qing looked at the guard from Area C and sensed the fluctuations of his Nascent Soul cultivation.
He had seen the other party before but they hadn’t exchanged any words.
Facing this person’s question, Xu Qing fell into deep thought. He looked at this area and revealed an apologetic expression.
“I’m doing an experiment.”
The Pawn coldly looked at Xu Qing and then glanced at the Quasi-Immortal Race member who was about to wake up on the ground.
“This is the place I’m guarding. You should have told me in advance. The County Governor has ordered that the prisoners of the Quasi-Immortal Race shall be spared the pain of losing their memories… Today’s matter will only happen once.”
With that, he turned and left this place without stopping Xu Qing.
After all, everyone was a Pawn. Although Xu Qing’s cultivation wasn’t in the Nascent Soul realm, he still had the right to deal with criminals. Although this matter was a little against the rules, they didn’t have any grudges against each other. The other party also revealed an apologetic expression, so he couldn’t be bothered to take it seriously.
Xu Qing also knew that he had been careless. His actions were inappropriate and unreasonable.
Actually, he wouldn’t have made this mistake. After all, this was what he did in Area D.
However, he had just attempted to patrol today and the area and time hadn’t been assigned to him yet, so he didn’t know who was in charge of this area. It was inevitable that he would be careless.
“I apologize.” Xu Qing’s expression was solemn. He cupped his fists and bowed to the Pawn who had left.
The Pawn who had left waved his hand with his back facing Xu Qing. Most of the displeasure in his heart dissipated.
When the other party’s figure couldn’t be seen anymore, Xu Qing turned and left. He originally had a second thing to do and that was to find the three Black Heaven cultivators and leave marks on their bodies to observe.
However, at this moment, he changed his mind and didn’t search. Instead, his body rose into the air and left this small world.
As the feeling of the laws descending on him dissipated, Xu Qing let out a long breath and returned to the Prison Department.
After appearing in the Prison Department, Xu Qing immediately found Ghost Hand and told him that he could withstand the laws and patrol independently.
In a corner of the 90th floor, Ghost Hand, who was lying on a rocking chair and drinking, lifted his head and sized up Xu Qing.
“So fast?” Ghost Hand’s expression was one of surprise. He performed a series of hand seals and pointed at the mural. Immediately, the mural emitted a gentle light. The original picture inside was blurry, forming a new scene.
The scene was of Xu Qing patrolling inside. However, it only revealed Xu Qing descending on the world and didn’t reveal his subsequent actions.
“Kid, you’re not bad, not bad.” Ghost Hand didn’t look anymore. He waved his hand and dispersed the scene, tossing a token to Xu Qing.
“You’re in charge of guarding the East 13 area.”
Xu Qing took the token and solemnly nodded. After that, he thought about it and spoke softly.
“I put a member of the Quasi-Immortal Race outside their assigned area for an experiment…”
“It’s a small matter.” Ghost Hand chuckled. He was naturally well aware of this matter. As the Prison Lord, he was very clear about the things in the Prison World. He also understood that all the Pawns under him were actually dishonest and did all kinds of things related to their private matters.
However, at the end of the day, they were all Sword Holders with no ill intentions. At most, they would just make things convenient for themselves.
He turned a blind eye to such a thing.
After all, even he would occasionally do this.
Xu Qing taking the initiative to say this made him very happy.
Seeing this, Xu Qing knew that he had done the right thing.
There was no point in hiding some things. Instead, it would cause unnecessary suspicion. Hence, after pondering, he spoke again.
“Senior, I want to take a look at those few Black Heaven cultivators.”
Ghost Hand laughed and pointed at the jade slip in Xu Qing’s hand.
“When I explained it to you last time, I could tell that you’re quite interested. You can take a look at the place you’re guarding.”
Xu Qing was stunned when he heard that. He then bowed deeply to Ghost Hand and turned to leave.
Looking at the departing Xu Qing, Ghost Hand took a sip of wine as admiration appeared in his eyes.
He indeed admired Xu Qing very much. Regardless of whether it was his method of poisoning Sick Ghost at the start, his comprehension ability later on, or his constant politeness, this was very rare.
He could even patrol independently with his Golden Core cultivation base, Everything showed that Xu Qing was extraordinary.
More importantly, he had a 100,000 feet long light and was arranged to guard D132. Ghost Hand was very clear about the meaning behind the latter.
Hence, he arranged for Xu Qing to oversee the place where those few Black Heaven cultivators were imprisoned. This was because everyone would fight over the chance to have those Black Heaven Race prisoners, after all they were rarely seen here.
However, no one could say anything if they were given to a newbie who had achieved 100,000 feet light in heart inquisition. Moreover, this would also allow Xu Qing to get familiar with his other colleagues in Area C.
“Kid, you have to work hard. That East 13 area has a good fortune today.” Ghost Hand took a large chug of wine and lay on the rocking chair, humming a small tune.
