Chapter 24 Zhang Jie's Way of Survival - Prison Nine Gates
"Don't you think so, dear Captain Zhongzhou."

Zhang Jie can confirm that he did not hear a single word wrong.

He could also confirm that he hadn't revealed anything during the biochemical crisis, except that he was a little bit strange...

This is far from the point where [Enhancement] and [Identity] can be guessed.

Since he was identified as the captain, what about the identity he was hiding, the one he didn't want to admit? Did Fang Ge know about it?

"I know everything."

The man answered Zhang Jie's deep-seated questions in a calm tone.

"..."

Zhang Jie didn't know how to deal with this situation. He wasn't as illogical as Chu Xuan, but encountering such illogical things still made him feel overwhelmed.

However, due to the limitations of the [Guide], he would be in trouble if he took the initiative to deal with this potential rising star in the eyes of the Lord God.

It is equivalent to... starting the [Captain Assessment].

But that was obviously impossible. Everything was so illogical. How could he be sure that Fang Ge would not pass the test?
"Do you have the ability to read minds? That's impossible. Even if you can read minds, you need to suppress your mental strength to see into other people's hearts."

Zhang Jie smiled bitterly. There were too many questions and doubts, and this man had lost his composure.

"Could it be that you were born with prophetic powers? Did you see the future? Yes, your performance on the field was like you had foresight."

Fang Ge remained noncommittal and whispered, "Won't you invite me in for a chat? Or do you want... everyone to know about this?"

"...Please come in."

The moment Zhang Jie turned his back, Fang Ge saw loneliness in him.

Without the obstruction of Zhang Jie's body, his creation - the classical beauty Na'er, also came into Fang Ge's sight.

——Zhang Jie and Xie Na...it’s just that this Jie has a hoarse voice when singing, and this Xie Na is too quiet and gentle.

Na'er is the anchor of Zhang Jie's humanity, just like the relationship between Luo Li and Zheng Zha.

"Na'er, prepare some tea for Fang Ge. He and I have something to talk about... It's nothing big."

Zhang Jie smiled and sent his partner, who was looking worried, away, and went to the living room alone with Fang Ge and Jin Xi.

Then, the elder brother seemed to have adjusted his mindset. He glanced at Xiao Longnu with a sophisticated look and said to Fang Ge teasingly:
"So you like this type, you have quite good taste, just like me."

Jin Xi always has a calm and elegant air about her. Upon hearing this, the girl smiled faintly.

"It's almost time to gather for a meeting to discuss the exchange. Let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point."

Fang Ge, who was sitting on the sofa, rested his elbows on his knees, supported his chin with both hands and said:
"Of course I'm not here to kill you. If we really came to blows, I wouldn't be your match right now. Of course... you can't strike first either. You don't have that [power] before I take action."

Zhang Jie narrowed his eyes slightly and said warily, "You seem to know a lot about the main divine space, and you also know a lot about people like us."

Seeing that Zhang Jie hadn't expressed his opinion yet, Fang Ge's tone became more serious:
"Brother Jie, I'm here to help you. In this vast divine space, I'm the only one who can help you, so you need to show some sincerity."

"Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"

Zhang Jie asked seemingly unintentionally, but in fact he was showing some weakness.

He never asked if he could smoke before.

After Fang Ge nodded slightly, he took out a cigarette of the Lord God brand from his pocket, lit it skillfully, and took a deep puff.

A thin puff of smoke came out of his mouth, and he replied carefully:

"...You guys need to see for yourselves. Hey, we're all teammates, so it's normal for families to move around."

"Tell Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and the others to come sit with me. You can try Na'er's cooking, it's absolutely amazing!"

Fang Ge smiled when he heard that.

Zhang Jie's greatest value to him is that he can provide information about the next horror movie.

Now, you only need to pay attention to his recent updates to guess which horror movie it is.

Now that the team battle stele has appeared, the next horror movie will most likely have the [Fragment Brushing] element...but the difficulty will definitely be greatly increased.

Even if it is difficult with twenty people, it is not surprising.

A high evaluation is good for the opponent. The higher the evaluation, the more difficult the reincarnation world will be, and the more potential of the team members will be squeezed out in the future.

Most importantly, there are more things that can be used in the world of reincarnation.

If he were to encounter horror films like "Shushan" and "The Lord of the Rings", wouldn't the "Samsara Army" be able to grow to a small scale in no time?

As for not being able to defeat them… Under his speed running mastery, there is no horror movie that he cannot overcome!

Even Fang Ge had to admit that the pure exchange of [Samsara Army] and [Orthodox Cultivation] was a stupid system, but if it was backed by a suitable Samsara world, it would still be very feasible.

An orthodox cultivator at the Jindan level, if he has enough runes and magic weapons, will have the ability to show his skills in the final battle and even reverse the situation.

Since Zhang Jie has shown his sincerity, it is Fang Ge's turn to show his sincerity.

After thanking Na'er for handing him the tea, Fang Ge took a sip and said calmly:
"Did you know that there is a power-up called [Zanpakuto]?"

Among the Nine Gates of the Prison, there is one that controls the light of the mind - Zanpakuto!

"I have some impression... Do you want to exchange it?" Zhang Jie asked as he invited Na'er to sit next to him.

Fang Ge shook his head and said nothing. "That's right, you've already gone into the internal force system..."

Zhang Jie stroked his chin, thinking carefully about the profound meaning of [Zanpakuto].

Zanpakutō, the sword wielded by the Shinigami, is a weapon created by the Shinigami. Its shape, form, and abilities are based on the Shinigami's own soul. The Shinigami gains power by knowing the name of their Zanpakutō and engaging in a spiritual dialogue with it. Requires one B-rank side story, with a reward of 5000 points.

It's a mediocre enhancement, or even rubbish.

Although I could get a D-rank [Elementary Spiritual Power Enhancement] for free, I spent a B-rank side storyline to only buy a mediocre sword...liberation? I don't know when that will happen.

In [Bleach], those who master the First Release are all high-ranking officials, which corresponds to the B-level [Advanced Spiritual Power Enhancement], and even has certain requirements for the gene lock. Without a third-level gene lock, who dares to say that they can activate a small part of the power of [Light of the Soul] in advance?

Not to mention Bankai! Not even a shadow!
"Don't you understand?"

Seeing Zhang Jie's frown and chin almost rubbing, he still couldn't figure out the truth.

Fang Ge believes that the NPC's intelligence needs further optimization, which is really disappointing.

“I don’t understand.”

Zhang Jie laughed frivolously and said helplessly, "Give me some pointers! Give me some pointers!"

"Of course, the Lord God's problems must be solved by the Lord God." Fang Ge gave a hint.

"what do you mean……"

Combining his own questions, Zhang Jie finally found a glimpse of the answer from his Zanpakuto.

[Zanpakutō is made from the soul of the god of death itself.]

But does he, the [Guide], have a soul?
Maybe, probably, should... not.

Fang Ge saw Zhang Jie's concerns and answered first:

"I know what you're worried about. But as I said, the Lord's problems must be solved by the Lord. Zanpakuto is forged from the soul of a Death God, so it must be [forged from the soul of a Death God]."

Zhang Jie continued to shake his head and said bitterly:
"Not enough, this isn't enough. The Zanpakutō doesn't contain enough. It's not enough to completely separate the [bad part] in me."

He was very disappointed... Although he originally had no hope. But Fang Ge was different. Fang Ge had really found a way.

However, the possibility of success on this path is extremely low, not enough to allow him to escape the control of the Lord God.

"You thought about it the wrong way... You're right, the wisdom of mortals ends here." Fang Ge smiled contemptuously.

"Put your fucking mouth on..."

Zhang Jie is indeed a strong contender for the worst person in the Zhongzhou team. He couldn't help but retort when he heard the ridicule.

Reversed?

Why is it the other way around?

Inverted!

At this moment, a flash of inspiration hit Zhang Jie's forehead!

He understood, but not completely.

"You mean, I'm going to turn into a Zanpakutō and leave behind a [bad shell]? Then I'll survive by turning into a sword, but what's the point of surviving?"

Are [Bad Shell] and Na'er being affectionate? What kind of anime is this?

"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet." Fang Ge waved her hands repeatedly, signaling the emotional Zhang Jie to calm down.

"A Shinigami's Zanpakutō doesn't disappear with the Shinigami's death, but waits for the next [master] to appear... Even the same Zanpakutō can be owned by multiple people."

"The next master? What does that have to do with me?"

"...I think you'll start drooling even if you're cured, so just give up on the treatment." Fang Ge rubbed his forehead helplessly.

——Why is it so difficult to promote [Prison Nine Gates]?

"No, we're all brothers, understand? Brothers!"

Zhang Jie put his arm around Fang Ge's shoulders, his eyes gleaming, "Help me out, my life is yours!"

"If you ask me to go east, I will never go west!"

Poor Zhang Jie was played around by Fang Ge.

Fang Ge then spoke freely:
"In the Lord God's Space, there are many methods of resurrection. But they can often only be used on [Reincarnators]."

"And you... you only possess a small part of [Zhang Jie], simply because the original subject lacks a complete personality. Zhang Jie's memories and cognition have taken over the subject, so you think you are [Zhang Jie]."

"...You're right." Zhang Jie nodded with difficulty, admitting that he was not Zhang Jie himself.

Seeing this, Fang Ge continued:
"This means that the real [Reincarnationist Zhang Jie] died long ago in Nightmare on Elm Street. And as [Reincarnationist Zhang Jie's] former teammate, you, dear [Captain Zhongzhou], have the power to resurrect him."

"At that time, the Zanpakutō that houses [Zhang Jie's soul] will return to the hands of [Zhang Jie the Reincarnator]. The two are of the same origin, so they will naturally connect and become one."

"To some extent, Zhang Jie, who was accidentally separated by the Lord God, will be reunited. The God of Death and Zanpakutō are inseparable. He will have your memories and your experiences...but he will be the original [Reincarnation Zhang Jie]."

"And your [bad part], that guide without a clear personality, that shell without its inner self..."

"I will kill him with my own hands!"
