Chapter 87: Chapter 84 Obsession Pearl

"If mysterious artifacts are so great, why don’t you take them out?"

"Ha ha~"

Wang Dayong forced a bitter smile.

"It’s not that easy, you know. We have our own rules, and at the end of the day... compared to the Chosen Ones, we have even more rules."

Alright, that makes sense. Without rules, there’s no understanding or order.

It’s the existence of Kaidan that brought about the Prison Director.

If you take away the mysterious artifacts, can it still be called Kaidan?

"Are you saying that mysterious artifacts influence a person’s memory through exams and study manuals?"

"That’s part of it, but even if you don’t take exams, just staying here for a long time can make your memories get jumbled, albeit a bit more slowly."

Wait a minute!

Jiang Xiao glanced at Li Bing, his eyes narrowing.

If the prisoners’ memories can get jumbled, could it be that the Prison Directors’ memories have been altered as well?

But he couldn’t verify that at the moment, and he didn’t want to worry about it.

What’s crucial now is to get a mysterious artifact that can be used for an equivalent exchange!

When the prisoners saw Jiang Xiao and the two Prison Directors coming down from upstairs,

All of them had red eyes and clenched fists.

If it weren’t for Warden Jiang being there, they would have definitely chosen to fight with all they had!

"Everyone, hold off on fighting, and come with me."

To be fair,

If Li Bing wasn’t lying, then these Prison Directors couldn’t be entirely blamed for everything.

They weren’t the principals who harmed the students in reality.

Nor were they the culprits that caused the prisoners’ memories to be jumbled in Kaidan.

Of course, that didn’t mean they were completely blameless.

Abusing prisoners and taking kickbacks from the canteen were absolute certainties.

When Jiang Xiao reached the exercise yard, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

What’s it like to search for someone in your dreams tirelessly, only to turn around and find them where the lights are dim?

The location of the mysterious artifact was in the same yard where Da Yong and the others trained by day and Kuku was hauntingly present by night.

"It’s here, five meters underground."

"Let me do it!"

Da Yong, brimming with energy, rushed over and instantly transformed bizarrely.

Numerous small tentacles emerged from his features, frantically digging into the ground.

Clang!

A sound like metal striking metal came from below.

As Da Yong’s tentacles retracted, he hooked up a bead shrouded in black qi.

Da Yong didn’t even look at it and handed it straight to Jiang Xiao.

Suddenly!

Wave after wave of chaotic memory fragments surfaced in everyone’s minds at the scene.

Holding the bead, Jiang Xiao was the most affected.

Even Li Yunlong’s passive ability "Unyielding Warrior Spirit": to ignore mental contamination was almost overwhelmed.

For an instant, Li Yunlong felt like Jiang Xiao’s head was about to explode!

Such terror!

"Behave yourself, or I’ll obliterate you!"

Li Yunlong’s personality roared, and the pearl quieted down a bit, but waves of black mist continued to loom.

Such a twisted, abnormal thing!

If held for too long, Li Yunlong felt that even he might not be able to endure it.

Well, if we are to be honest, it seems that only the Chief could completely withstand an assault of this caliber...

"What is this mysterious artifact? Do either of you recognize it?"

Wang Dayong slowly approached and examined it carefully before finally making a judgment.

"It should be the Obsession Pearl."

Obsession?

"Obsession" means ignorance, referring to a darkened, foolish mind without light.

This was the very thing that had been affecting Da Yong and the others’ memories.

But what was its purpose in reality?

"Here’s a box; put it in there, it’s uncomfortable to hold in your hand."

Wang Dayong took out a small black box that he had prepared earlier.

After storing the black pearl into the box, everyone indeed felt much better.

"How can we restore their memories?"

Jiang Xiao asked the last question.

Li Bing and Wang Dayong looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Brother, when it comes to mysterious artifacts, we really don’t know."

"Maybe without the power of the Obsession Pearl, they will recover on their own..."

Li Bing said this with little confidence.

As for the prisoners, they had been wanting to rebel for a long time!

"It doesn’t matter if we can’t restore our memories, boss! No matter what, we must destroy this cursed prison today!"

"That’s right! We will take our losses, but we can’t let it continue to harm others!"

"Smash it! Burn it, destroy it!"

Jiang Xiao felt the same way.

Why keep a place that harms schools?

"Hey, hey, hey, everyone, wait, wait, wait!"

Wang Dayong immediately stopped those who were ready to destroy the prison.

"Brothers, don’t do this, where will we go if we destroy the prison? Do you know what’s outside?"

"What is it?" The crowd was puzzled.

"To tell you the truth, I don’t know either, but according to the rules, it’s very hard to survive after going out."

Li Bing also tried to persuade them on the side.

"Besides, what good will it do if you destroy this place? Without Hengshui Prison, there will still be Henghuo Prison, Hengtu Prison, and the like. Can you blame us? We are just managers, not creators, please be rational."

Jiang Xiao thought back to the feeling he had when traveling from the village to the town with Shi Shi.

The town was indeed much better than the village.

"Isn’t it good to keep it this way? Anyway, the mysterious object will be taken away by Brother Jiang Xiao, your memories won’t be modified again, and from today on, our Prison Director won’t oppress you anymore. Isn’t this a good ending? Leave? Even if you do, what can you do?"

Li Bing continuously instilled his thoughts into the prisoners.

Actually, he wasn’t wrong.

Da Yong and the others were unwilling to stay in prison.

But leaving the prison wasn’t necessarily a better option.

Maybe stepping out would mean directly...

"We swear on Kaidan, from now on, everyone will be equal. Please don’t destroy the prison, okay?"

The crowd fell silent.

"You also don’t have to worry about the two of us bullying you. Now, there are 60 prisoners, both Da Yong and Mei Li are quite strong, plus there are 20 prison guards, making a total of 80 people against us two. It’s pretty much even in terms of power."

The "prison guards" were also students, and they would naturally stand with the "prisoners".

against 2.

The advantage was even on Da Yong’s side.

Plus the influence of the Obsession Pearl was gone.

The two wardens couldn’t really do anything to them.

After a brief period of unrest, everyone calmed down.

These students had already died, and now to "live on" in this way was already quite a good outcome.

"Alright then, let’s not destroy the prison. Having a place to stay is pretty good, and those who want to leave shouldn’t be stopped by the Prison Director."

Of course, they wouldn’t stay!

As long as these people didn’t destroy the prison, everything was negotiable.

"Hiss!"

Jiang Xiao forcefully slapped his forehead with the palm of his hand.

That hurt...

When the personalities emerged earlier, he had felt the tearing sensation in his nerves.

Plus the recent close-range impact from the Obsession Pearl.

He felt the "gaps" in his nerves getting bigger.

He could even sense something stirring in the vast sea of stars...

"You guys carry on discussing, I’m going to rest."

He had to recover properly, or else he might actually become mentally ill.

[Ding, Dragon Country’s Chosen, Jiang Xiao, has perfectly cleared the Kaidan World ’Hengshui Prison’!]

[Ding, Dragon Country’s Chosen, Jiang Xiao, becomes the first person to perfectly pass the eight rules, reward: ten additional free attribute points]

Without a second thought, he piled them all into strength.

The strength of Commander Li fascinated him; if he could achieve that effect without relying on him, that would be awesome.

...

He went to rest, but the real world exploded.

The success of Jiang Xiao this time seemed replicable?!

[Wow, the prison is a school?]

[Hey, hey, hey, don’t talk nonsense, you obviously haven’t paid attention. It’s just that this prison happens to be full of students.]

[The other countries better hurry up and charge! The longer they wait, the worse it gets!]

Needless to say, the rest also hurriedly alerted their respective Chosen ones.

Nai Zi let out a sigh of relief as she read the message sent by Sakura.

So that’s how it is!

Unlike before.

This time, the prisoners and wardens were not the final bosses (relatively speaking).

The reason for the Chosen ones’ memory confusion turned out to be because of a mysterious object buried in the playfield!

Nai Zi was also somewhat excited.

The instance was exactly the same; if Jiang Xiao could dig out the mysterious object, could she also do the same?

The only pity was that the majority of the countries had already used up their one chance for a hint before.

Now they could only regretfully slap their thighs.

Nai Zi went to Zone B again. That mysterious Eastern man had taken the lead again.

Then she had to be the second one to clear it!

At the same time, Nai Zi admired Jiang Xiao’s methods.

For someone strong, clearing the game was just that simple.

She had also vaguely guessed that these prisoners were probably wrongfully accused.

But with just that level of understanding, it was difficult to get the warden to reveal the ultimate secret, right?

What would she have done without Jiang Xiao’s example of clearing the game?

After thinking it over, there was only one way to clear it.

That was to gather all the prisoners and unite to overthrow the prison’s rule.

Hmm, maybe it wasn’t necessary to overthrow the rule.

As long as all the prisoners came together to resist, the warden might reveal the truth.

Now the focus was on the mysterious object in the playfield!
