Chapter 283: Chapter 251 "The Prophet" Enters the Scene!
Abraham relaxed his expression as he looked at the card in Wu Xiaode’s hand.
"So you’re a legal aid, but your character card says—"
"You can provide legal grounds to ensure that three Demon Gods will not violate the laws of the human world."
A puzzled look appeared on his face as he continued to ask:
"Why only three?"
—This is bad.
The original intent of the prison was to let oneself bear the burden, being responsible for the life and death of three Demon Gods.
Now unexpectedly, other Demon Gods from parallel worlds had appeared.
And their number was unknown.
—What should I do?
Wu Xiaode looked at him expressionlessly, quickly thinking of an excuse.
Satan glanced up, looking toward the One-eyed Giant and Enchanting Demon on the staircase.
If their cover was blown, they would have to fight.
He began to prepare for combat.
The next moment, Wu Xiaode calmly said:
"Isn’t ensuring the safety of three people enough? Is there a problem with that?"
"We are five in total, but you can only ensure the safety of three," Abraham said, spreading his hands.
"I’m sorry, my abilities are limited to this extent—you should know that taking your side in prison is a very difficult feat to accomplish," Wu Xiaode shrugged.
The prison aimed at killing Demon Gods.
Upon hearing this, Abraham fell into deep thought.
Satan coughed softly, continuing:
"There are three—aside from myself, two among you can enjoy legal services to ensure your safety."
The One-eyed Giant hurriedly shouted, "Boss, give me a spot, I killed the Abraham from this parallel world!"
He raised his hand.
A head traced a parabola through the air with a "thud" as it landed on the ground, bounced, and rolled to a stop in front of Wu Xiaode and Satan.
—It really was Abraham.
His face still bore an expression of disbelief at his time of death.
Wu Xiaode glanced at it indifferently, and then looked away.
Satan also indifferently said:
"Let’s discuss this matter with everyone."
The One-eyed Giant and Enchanting Demon came down and joined with the three.
The two Demon Gods took Wu Xiaode’s card and scrutinized it carefully.
"Cards don’t lie, so I believe you are a real helper," said the One-eyed Giant.
"Yes, it’s imbued with powerful magical vibrations of the prison, who would dare to fake it in front of it?" the Enchanting Demon also chuckled.
Wu Xiaode said, "Then—"
Before he could finish, the One-eyed Giant, Enchanting Demon, and Abraham suddenly attacked.
The One-eyed Giant suddenly embraced Satan from behind.
The Enchanting Demon threw out a whip, casually entwining it around Satan’s hands and feet.
Abraham said softly, "Sorry, boss."
He slapped Satan on the shoulder.
Smack!
Satan transformed into a stunned, palm-sized puppet.
The Enchanting Demon caught it and cooed softly:
"Boss, you clearly said you would be guarding cell 319, but here you are, we suspect you are from another parallel universe."
"If in a while it turns out we were wrong, we’ll immediately release you back," said the One-eyed Giant.
The three looked toward Wu Xiaode.
All these changes happened in an instant, and Wu Xiaode didn’t even have time to react.
So, he could only grin, his expression as calm as ever.
"Don’t you have anything to say?" the Enchanting Demon asked.
As soon as the words fell, Wu Xiaode suddenly felt a nauseous sense of annoyance rise in his heart.
On the Book of the Dead, lines of ice crystal text appeared:
"The Enchanting Demon has released a low-level Charming Skill."
"Since you have resisted this type of high-level skill from the Charming Clan many times before, you are now immune to this low-level skill."
Wu Xiaode, with his arms crossed, said, "Stop trying to charm me, what happens to you Demon Gods is none of my business."
The three Demon Gods glanced at each other.
Abraham calmly looked at him and said, "You can only help three Demon Gods, and there are two explanations for this."
"One is that you really only have such ability," said the One-eyed Giant.
"Or it means you are siding with the Demon Gods from some parallel universe, and only three of them are left," said the Enchanting Demon.
Wu Xiaode just smiled.
Absolutely correct.
These Demon Gods proved to be tough opponents.
But...
The prison had just changed its defense settings less than an hour ago, so how did these Demon Gods come out of nowhere?
The Demon Gods from parallel universe 5432 shouldn’t be this quick either.
They should have reacted later, then reached parallel universe 1666 through a series of maneuvers.
Anyway, deal with the matter at hand first.
"I’d really like to know what your plans are now," Wu Xiaode said.
"Isn’t that simple? Our boss said he’s stationed in cell 319; all we have to do is rush over there to know the truth," said the One-eyed Giant with a shrug.
Abraham pressed on Wu Xiaode’s neck and said softly, "You should come too, let’s go and see the truth together."
His hand flashed with an inexplicable light, seemingly ready to turn Wu Xiaode into a puppet at any moment.
"Let’s go!" the Enchanting Demon commanded.
Wu Xiaode had no choice but to follow the three toward the cell to the south.
As he walked, a formless, invisible mist started emitting from his body, silently spreading in all directions.
—The Demon Mist’s Death Skill, Dreamer!
This was one of the very high-level skills of Silent Demon Mist, untraceable even by Divine Beasts concerned with Laws!
The mist quickly surged toward the south.
In the corridor, the One-eyed Giant swaggered boldly in the lead;
The Enchanting Demon was in the middle, holding the Satan puppet;
Abraham was pushing Wu Xiaode along from behind.
As they reached cell 317, the One-eyed Giant suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He forcefully pushed open the iron door, excitedly peering inside, shouting loudly:
"Boss, we’re back!"
The Enchanting Demon and Abraham who followed looked inside.
There was no one in the room, just two empty beds.
—And no one responded.
"That’s strange, the boss definitely said he would be holding fort here," the Enchanting Demon said seriously, glancing at Abraham, "Did you reveal to anyone that the boss was actually in this room?"
"No," Abraham said.
Since the boss wasn’t in the room—
The two looked down at the doll in their hands.
This was the boss!
Something had gone wrong.
Being overcautious backfired!
Abraham hurriedly dispelled the magic, allowing Satan to return to his original form.
He also released his grip on Wu Xiaode’s neck.
"Sorry, boss."
Abraham said awkwardly.
"It’s nothing. Being cautious is normal, after all, I left the cell to contact our allies—you idiots!" Satan said coldly.
The boss was angry!
The three of them gulped in unison.
Yes!
This ally was someone the boss had found!
Wu Xiaode tried to smooth things over, "Let’s go, we need to earn points and stop being suspicious of everything."
"Let’s go," Satan led the way.
The three hurriedly followed him.
Wu Xiaode, at the back, closed the iron door as he left.
Displayed on the Book of the Dead floating nearby were rows of ice crystal letters:
"You have released the Silent Demon Mist ’Dreamer’."
"The Demon Mist has obscured all the cells."
"There is a Satan sitting in cell 317 now, but he is obscured by the Demon Mist, so the three Demon Gods did not see him."
"The three Demon Gods were obscured by the Silent Demon Mist, so the Satan in cell 317 did not see them nor sense any of their actions."
Click.
The iron door gently closed.
Wu Xiaode had just been pondering a question—
These Demon Gods were all cunning.
The Enchanting Demon emphasized room 319 again, and the One-eyed Giant repeated it.
If it was unintentional, that was one thing.
But if it was deliberate, meant for him to hear as a precaution against any action he might take—
Then this Satan must not be in cell 319, but in a different one!
So Wu Xiaode decided to completely obscure all the cells!
—When the Silent Demon Mist had not yet been upgraded, it could already conceal someone’s presence from the Demon Gods; now it should be even less of an issue.
Wu Xiaode closed the iron door behind him and walked forward with the four Demon Gods.
As they walked, Abraham suddenly kicked open the door of cell 402 next to him.
Inside, two prisoners sat with faces full of terror.
"Ah, it’s nothing," he said awkwardly as he closed the door.
Wu Xiaode passed him expressionlessly and hurried to catch up with Satan.
The Book of the Dead floated beside him through the Void, displaying a new line of ice crystal letters:
"You have dispelled the Silent Demon Mist from every cell except 317."
Without even looking, Wu Xiaode whispered into Satan’s ear:
"Back to our earlier topic—I can protect the three Demon Gods from being erased by the Abyss, but everyone else is on their own."
"Understood," Satan responded.
"Tell me, besides you, there are two more spots. Who do you plan to give them to?" Wu Xiaode asked.
Satan obviously knew his intentions, stopped in his tracks, and looked over at the One-eyed Giant, the Enchanting Demon, and Abraham, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
"You decide," Satan said.
"Me decide?"
"Yes, whoever you find most agreeable, you choose them."
"All right."
Wu Xiaode nodded in agreement.
Undoubtedly, he had just helped Satan out, and this was his way of returning the favor.
With this statement, the three Demon Gods would certainly try every means to curry favor with him.
As expected, the three Demon Gods immediately became anxious.
It was now almost certain that the Satan in front of him was truly his boss.
The boss was already angry and clearly did not want to deal with this anymore.
What else could be done?
They had to quickly figure out how to secure one of those spots!
The Enchanting Demon, looking charmingly attractive, stood by Wu Xiaode’s side and said in a seductive voice, "Little brother, choose me. I can be with you every day."
The One-eyed Giant buzzed, "Big brother, I can be your enforcer; we can sign a contract."
"Hmm, both of you are not bad," Wu Xiaode looked over at Abraham.
Abraham gritted his teeth and pulled a palm-sized doll from his bosom.
"Helper, you might not know, but the boss and the other Demon Gods all know—"
"We could come here all thanks to this prophet."
"I was able to level up to Level 3 in one go, surpassing everyone, also because of his prophecies."
"If you choose me, I’ll have him make several more prophecies for you!"
It was the power of prophecy!
So that’s how it was!
Could it be that this time there was a real prophet, which is why they had come this far?
Maybe Abraham did not know the laws of the human world, just like how the Black Dragon could not tell whether bad guys should be killed?
Abraham knew what was safe to do because of the prophecies!
Wu Xiaode looked at the doll.
Hmm...
This doll looked familiar.
Wait, wasn’t this Li Kunlun!
