Origin Player.

Chapter 796 System and Demon

In the center of the prison playground.

The moment the two stepped out of the exclusive passage, it was a moment of great attention. Transparent walls rose from all sides, containing the power of the forbidden substance, Restraint, which could neutralize the impact of the source energy.

When Yan Yang appeared, he was no longer as humble as he had been moments before.

The gemstone pendant hanging from his earlobe shimmered, and his aura was no longer concealed. He was clearly a genuine B-grade bodyguard. As the personal bodyguard assigned to Luo Zhengzong by the eldest branch of the Luo family, Yan Yang had long been famous in the underworld.

"The dueling arena limits the application of spatial teleportation."

"According to the records left by the President, the ugly finger on the lover's body is only one last one. If he uses it against me, this guy will never be able to move around in any living area again."

"Out-of-control lovers must be destroyed by all S-class demigods."

Yan Yang was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

He may kill his lover before the seal is broken, or he may die from his lover's terrifying charm, but in any case, his lover will die today.

"To repay Mr. Luo Youdao's kindness and clear the obstacles for the legitimate young master, I could simply die. I just didn't expect that Luo Yeli would actually find a way to eliminate the alien bloodline."

Yan Yang's brows furrowed. The Luo Clan Ancestor had recently shown favoritism. In the past few days, Luo Yeli had been cultivating in the clan's territory, consuming a massive amount of resources every day. Judging from all these signs, it was highly likely that the time for the second awakening would be significantly shortened.

At this moment, thousands of people are watching the duel.

Unlike Yan Yang, whose expression kept changing, Jiang He remained expressionless and deadpan throughout. If it weren't for her exceptionally beautiful and otherworldly appearance, there would be quite a few people who would want to punch her in the face.

"Begin!" the colonel judge shouted, waving his hand.

In an instant, a bright blue and dazzling lightning bolt suddenly rose up.

Everyone present was shocked, including Commander Chunming and Jinxiu, and even the warden watching from the rooftop. This display of mobilizing his body and energy meant only one thing—Jiang He's mastery of power and his own speed of thought had reached an unbelievable level.

"Truly a legacy of a demigod," the warden thought to himself.

A flash of lightning, and the distance of several hundred meters was gone in an instant.

Whoosh!
The intense lightning stung Yan Yang's eyes; a straight, azure line seemed to cut the playground in half.

"That speed...is above mine!"

Yan Yang's face contorted with rage as he rapidly manifested the Sun Dawn Dharma Image. A ten-meter-tall, platinum-colored half-skull enveloped him, and the B-grade energy endowed the Dharma Image with an indestructible texture. For most lower-level Source Power users, this was a defense that any B-grade being could easily wield.

Swish!
The cold and chilling blade slashed out.

Lightning spread, an invisible blade enveloped it, and the Night Tactical Short Sword instantly extended to two meters in length. As Jiang He turned his wrist, the blade light rippled out like gentle waves on a lake, and a bright blue semicircle rose up, the blade slicing through the flesh and bones of the Sun Dharma Image.

Yan Yang was greatly alarmed.

This strike possesses a magnificent spirit that can cut through anything.

Outside the transparent wall, Yan Yin, the younger brother, was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead. For some reason, Di Jiang, who had just been promoted to C-rank a few days ago, was now showing an indescribable sense of oppression, like livestock seeing a butcher, making people involuntarily avoid his gaze.

Suddenly.

Yan Yang activated his innate talent to its fullest extent.

Sequence 115·Xiyang symbolizes the power of light and sun.

At that moment, a great light shone behind Yan Yang, and from the spine of the Sun Dawn Dharma Image, long whips of blazing sun lashed out like the powerful tail swing of a giant beast, unleashing source power without regard to cost.

Among the thousands of prisoners, three B-level gang leaders had serious expressions, while the C-level leaders looked apprehensive. With a deafening roar, a mighty river roared out, its intense heat and impact displaying its immense power as it frantically crashed against the "Control Wall." If this were outside, it would be enough to shatter the main street of the fortress city.

Swish!
A figure returned to its original position.

Before the light had faded, Jiang He stared ahead as the chest of the ten-meter-tall Sunburst Dharma Image suddenly shattered. The spatial power of the Void Technique caused the destruction through a swap.

Without any hesitation, Jiang He transformed into lightning.

—Secret Technique of Power: Lord Thunder.

This is a technique that transforms oneself into lightning to achieve superhuman speed.

In an instant, lightning burst forth from the ground.

"How could this be!" Yan Yang's face paled slightly. Di Jiang, a mere C-level, was now even faster than before, and even slightly surpassed a B-level Source Power user who specialized in speed.

"Dijiang has mastered A-level power ahead of time, and he is a Thunder who excels in speed and killing."

On the rooftop, the warden looked down and observed, and surprisingly, he also gained some insights into the application and mastery of power while watching the battle.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Yang desperately reconstructed the Dharma image.

However, without the protection of the Sun and Dawn Dharma Form, the Ouroboros Mark was successfully engraved on his body. The next moment, the air in front of Yan Yang and Jiang He switched places.

"what's the situation!"

"How did Yan Yang get there? I didn't see any markers!"

"He's finished!"

Jiang He unleashed a slash, the invisible blade propelled by a surge of boundless lightning, the impact of his own high-speed burst of energy perfectly concentrated on the edge of the blade under the control of the Divine Indestructible.

—Secret Technique: Lightning Flash.

boom!
The blade was both sharp and heavy, and wisps of light and lightning sliced ​​Yan Yang into countless pieces. Blood, bits of flesh, and bones mingled together, like bullets scattering everywhere.

Jiang He casually flicked his wrist, shaking off the grime from the short knife.

The area around the training ground was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. A B-level Source Power user was already a big shot in the fortress city, with combat experience and a certain level of military skills. He could quickly become a major general or division commander in the military. But now he had fallen in prison.

The younger brother, Yan Yin, had bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to devour anyone.

Chunming, the guild leader of the Wan Nian Adventurer Group, had a gloomy expression.

The young girl Jinxiu was filled with trepidation. This was by no means Dijiang's full strength, after all, she had just handed over the forbidden item, the Shadow Sword, to him.

The brief silence ended.

A commotion that nearly ripped off the metal dome erupted. What the prison lacked most was entertainment; as long as it was bloody and intense enough, few people cared about Yan Yang's death.

"Keep going, keep going!"

"Yan Yin, you're not going to chicken out, are you?"

"My brother died right before my eyes. If I were to forfeit, I would hang myself from a rafter when I got back. Yan Yang, you died too tragically!"

"Cheer up! Don't embarrass yourself!"

A group of prisoners, eager for a spectacle, started to jeer and jeer.

Yan Yin walked into the private passage, his face as red-hot as iron, angry and cold.

"Begin!" the colonel commanded, waving his hand.

Jiang He didn't move. He was quietly absorbing the blood essence that Yan Yang had dropped on the ground. His feet were covered with tiny steel spikes. From a perspective unseen by others, these steel spikes extended from the ground, drawing blood from the soil and rocks.

[Body type: C → C]
Yan Yin suddenly clasped his hands together.

His limbs suddenly became incredibly swollen, gradually separating into four blood and flesh coffins. This absurd scene quickly silenced the surrounding noise.

The coffin lid fell to the ground.

Four five-meter-tall Apocalypse Knights appeared.

Three are C-level, one is B-level, and Yan Liang himself is only C-level, but his overall combat strength is about the same as his brother's.

"Original Talent - Yin Coffin: Manipulate the power of the dead."

"Controlling a B-level War Knight, it seems that Luo Zhengzong's side has invested a considerable amount of resources. Spiritual treasures are priceless, but they should have a time limit. Sequence 42 is very high, but it is still far behind the twenty-two Tarot-level talents."

"The top 100 in the sequence are all very strong, so they may not necessarily lose."

On the playground, the Plague Knight stepped forward.

Jiang He suddenly felt excruciating pain in his internal organs and couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of dark blood, causing astonishment among countless prisoners.

Yan Yin waved his hand fiercely, and four Apocalypse Knights charged forward. The exquisite food contained a strange poison. The seemingly ambiguous and casual exchange of lunch actually concealed a deadly intent.

Jiang He calmly wiped the dark blood from the corner of her mouth, her expression composed.

The water bear's resistance to highly toxic substances, after being sublimated into a part of its survival genes, has increased dramatically, which is the fundamental reason why it can eat at will.

The next moment, the four Apocalypse Knights stopped their charge.

The ouroboros mark was engraved on the Apocalypse Knights. Spatial swapping occurred continuously between them, and the four enormous figures were constantly in a state of spatial teleportation, unable to move forward at all, presenting a kind of frame-dropping afterimage.

This is the powerful control secret technique derived from the Yuan Kong Technique: Void Trap.

For Jiang He, developing secret techniques was undoubtedly a piece of cake. Discussions filled with surprise and confusion erupted around the training ground. Yan Yin stared intently at the enemy, while Jiang He strolled around leisurely, slaying the four immobile Apocalypse Knights. Unfortunately, since they were inanimate objects, there was no blood essence this time, and they had already lost their vitality.

Swish!
Yan Yin seemed to have made up his mind. He quickly took out a Grade A talent activation potion. This kind of potion can activate one's original talent and temporarily gain power similar to authority. However, it will revert to its original form afterward. The price of not being able to control it is the destruction of one's original talent, and death is inevitable.

puff!
The syringe was plunged into the neck.

But the next moment, a terrible wound appeared.

Blood gushed forth like a spring, leaving the criminals dumbfounded. They watched as Yan Yin committed suicide with a tactical dagger in his hand. The A-grade activation agent fell into Jiang He's hands, and it was another use of the Yuan Kong technique.

In that instant, realizing death was imminent, Yan Yin didn't speak, but simply smiled with a self-deprecating yet relieved expression.

"The winner is Brigadier General Teijiang!" the colonel judge announced.

Amidst the noisy and jarring commotion, Jiang He sheathed his short sword and transferred the activation potion to Wu He. Given its rarity, the aura contained within it was enough to uncover the mastermind. Wu He's Forbidden Item: Hunting Guide was most adept at this.

"The body of the Knight of Apocalypse is to be sent to the Prison."

Jiang He said, "I want to be alone."

The colonel, the judge, reported to his superior that the warden usually did not handle affairs and only served as a symbol of force. The real person in charge of the prison was the Minister of Justice. The Ministry of Justice and the Blood Tomb Army were both once the President's direct subordinates and worked together in the prison area.

"Sure, as long as it doesn't involve Rank C or above, Brigadier General Dijiang can choose any three others, regardless of gender, as prizes for the winner of this duel," the colonel commander said with a smile.

Jiang He left the playground and headed straight for Jinxiu.

The girl's face turned deathly pale. She turned her head, but President Chunming had already disappeared.

"You've got guts," Jiang He said.

Jinxiu's eyes were filled with fear as she pleaded, "Commander Dijiang, I really just want to live. I'm being hunted by many powerful figures, and I'm truly desperate. You're still alive, so please spare my life. I'm willing..."

Jiang He grabbed the girl's long black and white hair and dragged her away.

The colonel, deep in thought, said to his entourage, "Find a box of interrogation drugs and send it to cell 0002."

"clear."

……

Cell No. 0002.

Jiang He did not refuse the colonel's offer.

The young girl, Jinxiu, looked terrified. Steel bars extended from the wall, binding her wrists and ankles. She lay on the table by the window, her gaze fixed on the Doomsday Academy, a place filled with tranquility and freedom.

"You should have been prepared before you poisoned him."

"Commander...Commander Dijiang, I am the Chosen One, from a place called Origin. Telling you this information would be against the rules, but I am willing to pay the price..."

The words stopped abruptly.

Jiang He glanced at the "Distraction Injection" label on the syringe, then injected it directly into Jinxiu's neck, pushing the entire syringe into her vein.

The young girl, Jinxiu, suddenly felt dizzy.

Before she could even react, the second dose of truth serum was administered.

After the third injection of the highly sensitizing agent was completed, the girl Jinxiu lost herself, and her entire body was covered in a bright red color.

Deng!
Jiang He raised his leg and kicked the other person in the buttocks.

It was as if electric currents were shooting through her, and the young girl Jinxiu was transformed into a live fish being torn to pieces, thrashing violently on the cutting board.

Deng Deng Deng!
Jiang He kicked him more than a dozen times.

"Who sent you?"

“Luo…authentic.”

"How many Origin players do you know?"

"Former staff officer Ye Bulu, recently a copyist, sixteen Wagry mercenary players, underground black market merchant Jian Mojing, and Deputy Finance Minister Chu Tianming..."

Jinxiu gradually revealed the current identities of the thirty-odd Origin players. Originally, these players had formed an alliance and planned to use the indigenous forces, along with Jinxiu's identity as a marker, as bait to ambush and kill a group of hostile players.

But before the plan even began, Jinxiu chose to betray them. After all, being used as bait was too risky. However, she didn't reveal everything to the other players on the battlefield, as this crucial information was essential for their survival.

Her thoughts gradually became clearer, and Jinxiu's eyes became lucid in the shadows.

Unfortunately, Jiang He had already noticed something. The fourth injection, a drug called "Tidal Needle," was a combination with the third injection. The unimaginable stimulation impacted Jinxiu's brain, leaving it blank and turning her into a talking machine.

"The medicine is surprisingly effective."

Jiang He touched her chin, somewhat surprised.

Without him making any move, Jinxiu was already on the verge of dehydration and death. It should be noted that even he himself would need to combine his charm at his peak to achieve a similar effect.

What is your biggest secret?

no answer.

Jiang He was given the next injection, which was also the most vicious injection in the series of interrogations. The drug was called "uterine itch".

"Hahaha...I'm going to turn into an idiot..."

What is your biggest secret?

"A demon! A Tarot-level forbidden item—the demon—it will absolutely change my destiny..."

Jinxiu hesitated to reveal the location of the forbidden demon, her face contorted with rage, like a wild beast driven by instinct.

I won't tell you unless you give it to me.

"It's really troublesome."

Jiang He's expression turned slightly cold as she complied with the other party's request.
"Hahaha, finally the itching is gone..."

……

November 17th, midnight (Black Night Calendar).

Jiang He walked out of the cell and lit a lemon cigarette from the military ration box. Several female officers went in to deal with Jinxiu's body, and occasionally exclamations and whispers could be heard.

"A thirst for death amidst depravity, the work of a master."

"Alchemy and potion-making are things I'm really not good at."

[Hint: You have killed the marker]
[Hint: You have obtained 1 Mighty Medal]
[Hint: You have redeemed Forbidden Item 077 - Willing Fishing Rod - Uses desired objects as bait and the power of fate as the fishing line. The angler can set three filter terms. The more compatible the bait and fish are in terms of affinity, causality, and symbolism, the faster the fishing speed.]
Suddenly, an invisible 8.1-meter fishing rod materialized in Jiang He's hand. After thinking about it carefully, he simply used a fishing hook to suspend himself, and then manually engraved the words on the fishing rod.

"Within a month, they began to be active in the world of darkness."

"Life level rises rapidly from low to high."

"Thinking speed, combat experience, and extraordinary knowledge that set them apart from normal Source Power users of the same level."

"All three filter terms point to players, and my player symbol is basically the same as other players', competing and fighting in different battlefields. The symbolism and cause and effect are perfectly matched."

"In short, my chances of meeting other players will greatly increase from this moment on."

Jiang He pondered to himself. He actually wanted to fish for the Immortal Pig Body, but such a toy of entertainment could not compare to the main plot and important matters. The relative importance of each was self-evident.

[Joint Reminder: Today's markers have been updated]
[Player Name: Guangchen]
[Affiliated Battlefield: Battlefield of All Beings]
[Current Position: Deputy Warden of the Prison, Colonel Judge]
[Current Life Level: C]
[Current location: No. 56, Wuyang Street, Anxi District, Taiko Prison...]
"I never expected him to be a player who plays for all kinds of people."

Jiang He fell into deep thought. He was the deputy warden of the prison, and the next step up would be the vice minister of justice, a position of great power and influence.

Before his ascension to the throne, the President stripped a considerable number of fortress councilors of their lifelong political rights in order to smoothly ascend the throne and become emperor. These fortress councilors numbered no less than several dozen and were all imprisoned in the Grand Prison. They were later exonerated after the President's death. This force played a crucial role in the election of the Taiko Prime Minister.

Therefore, the Prison is one of the main battlefields of the two major factions.

"Whoever can get the votes of dozens of fortress councilors will have a greater advantage. The Undersecretary of Justice has the power to let these guys go. The assassination attempt was not accidental."

Jiang He realized the importance of Colonel Guang Chen, the Inquisitor, among the players. He was likely an important part of a plan. Among the thousands of players in the Origin, Twilight, and End factions, there were bound to be some who weren't too slow to react.

In short, the prison is about to become even more chaotic.

"But this is also an opportunity to kill the warden and strip the forbidden item, Temperance."

Jiang He's eyes flickered. As for the Tarot-level forbidden item, the Demon, that Jinxiu mentioned, it was actually located underground in the Taiyu Prison. She came here not only to seek refuge, but also with ulterior motives, wanting to become the master of the "Demon".

"The devil represents the perilous side of things and the dark side of the human heart. Its form is an antique bronze pocket watch. Unlike the allure of a lover, the devil's purpose is to tempt people to fall. Its external effect is somewhat similar to greed, anger, and ignorance. The price is the outburst of the dark side of the person who controls it."

Historically, demons caused large-scale bloodshed and nearly destroyed the Doomsday Academy. The academy was forced to relocate, and the Prison was built here, one of the core reasons being to suppress the demons with the power of "Temperance".
