24 Chapter 24: Identity Jade Plate
Translator: 549690339
“Enter Cell No. 30?” Su Nan’s eyes lit up.
Exploring Cell No. 30 is a three-star task, which can reward 15 demon power points if completed.
Before, he didn’t think he could complete this task, but now it’s different.
Since the mysterious girl asked him to go to Cell No. 30, it means it’s possible for him.
“Senior, how can I get into Cell No. 30?”
The mysterious girl said, “That senior should not be completely out of control yet. Although he is on the verge of losing control most of the time in one day, his sanity is affected by evil energy, but he will occasionally regain consciousness.”
“As long as you are lucky enough and just happen to meet that senior when he is sober, there may be a chance to enter.”
“Is it about luck?” Su Nan’s spirit rose; luck was not his strong point, but he had the Talent of foreknowledge!
Just keep trying with foreknowledge, and it might be possible.
“What should I do after I get in?”
Since there’s a real chance of getting in, he naturally has to consider what to do afterwards.
This task is not like the one-star task last time, which was completed as soon as he entered the prison cell.
This task is to explore. What does it mean to explore? At least he has to communicate with that powerful person on the verge of losing control.
However, that powerful person is on the verge of losing control, and his sanity has been affected by evil energy. If he goes in and is immediately killed, wouldn’t that be like entering a deathtrap?
The mysterious girl also thought of this problem. After pondering for a moment, she took out a white jade plate and said:
“This is my Identity Jade. When you go in, just say I asked you to go in, and that senior should not do anything to you.”
“Thank you, senior!” Su Nan’s eyes gleamed, and he quickly took the jade plate.
It seemed that the woman and that powerful person knew each other, so she had the confidence that the powerful person would not attack him for the woman’s sake.
“I’ll lend you this for now, but you have to return it to me after using it.” The woman added.
Though Su Nan agreed verbally, he didn’t believe it in his heart. He thought, how could anything in his hands be returned?
Furthermore, this jade plate was not merely a symbol of identity.
It was creamy white, with a carving of the sun, moon, and mountains on one side and three extremely complicated characters on the other.
This was the writing of the Demon World, which was recorded in the Demon Sutra he practiced. Having the Demon Sutra as a foundation, he naturally recognized these characters.
“Zhou Lingyin”
[Zhou Lingyin’s Identity Jade: The jade represents Zhou Lingyin’s identity and contains a burst of power she infused in it three years ago. If shattered, it can unleash the full power of Zhou Lingyin’s peak period three years ago.]
What kind of power would it be if it could erupt with Zhou Lingyin’s full power?
A treasure! A treasure!
This was not an Identity Jade; it was more like a bomb that could create miracles if used at the right time.
“So, the senior’s last name is Zhou!” Su Nan smiled, and finally knew the woman’s name.
Zhou Lingyin’s face remained calm, and she said lightly, “If you can really enter that cell, please say hello to that senior for me.”
“Senior, rest assured, I know what to do without you saying it,” Su Nan subconsciously replied.
But then, he became confused, “Senior, why don’t you go there yourself?”
He had asked this question last time too, but Zhou Lingyin didn’t answer him.
This time, Zhou Lingyin still didn’t intend to answer, and she said coldly, “I’ve given you everything you need; you can leave now.”
It was an order to leave!
Left with no choice, Su Nan had to say goodbye and leave Cell No. 24.
The goal of this trip was not only achieved but exceeded, which made him very happy.
He put Zhou Lingyin’s Identity Jade into his Personal Space, and only then did he look at his task list.
He hadn’t completed any of today’s three tasks, and it was already late. There was only one hour left until the midnight task refresh.
“Let me finish the task of hunting demons first, then go and see if I can enter Cell 30.”
Not wanting to waste time, he started his fourth foreknowledge attempt of the day.
[During your visit to Cell No. 24, you learned that on the first floor of this prison, there are only three demons you can kill.]
[Among them, the demon in Cell No. 28 is closest to you, and you plan to go to Cell No. 28.]
[Using the Kun Tian Key, you smoothly enter Cell No. 28. As soon as you enter the cell, you see various things that fascinate you.]
[Your mind is affected by the illusions, forgetting where you are and the purpose of your trip. Unbeknownst to you, the demon is already in front of you.]
[This is a black fox demon proficient in creating illusions. Confusing enemies is its main strength. As long as you can break free from the illusions, killing it should be easy.]
[Unfortunately, your mind controlled by the illusions, you did not realize this.]
[The demon’s claws slowly enter your chest. Unable to feel any pain, you are still deeply trapped in the illusions created by the demon.]
[You die.]
[Just before dying, you finally regain your senses and realize that you should have attacked the moment you entered the cell!]
“Where’s the demon I was supposed to be able to deal with?”
“Are you sure I’m not just delivering a kill to the demon?”
Another death, and Su Nan didn’t know what to say.
He thought that the demon Zhou Lingyin said he could deal with should be easy to solve, but he didn’t expect that he would die the first time.
This could only mean one thing: even the easiest demons here are not easy prey for him.
However, this was not what Su Nan cared about.
What he cares about is the last tip of foreknowledge.
He remembered that there were no hints after the first two foreknowledge deaths, but during the last time he hunted the Iron Ape, the foreknowledge also gave similar hints at the end.
“Does this mean that as long as the gap in strength is not too large, the foreknowledge will hint at what I should do?”
He thought of a possibility.
It’s not impossible.
Of course, there’s another possibility: maybe it’s not a hint from foreknowledge, but he truly realized the problem just before dying.
There’s a high probability of this, and Su Nan prefers to believe it’s the latter!
Now that he knows what to do, there’s no need to waste another foreknowledge opportunity.
He’s ready to take action directly.
A few minutes later.
Su Nan had already left Cell No. 28.
Seeing the game prompts appearing in front of him, the corner of his mouth showed a smile.
[Congratulations! Daily Task “Hunt down and kill a Mortal-level demon” has been completed. 5 points of demonic power reward have been granted.]
[Current available demonic power: 5 points.]
“If I complete another task tomorrow, I can upgrade the Iron Ape Sutra to Great Accomplishment.”
It takes 8 points of demonic power to upgrade the Demon Sutra from minor achievement to Great Accomplishment, and he still needs 3 more points.
Unfortunately, there are no more foreknowledge opportunities.
If there were, he would want to try using foreknowledge to see if he could hunt the demon in Cell No. 42.
To go to Cell No. 42, he must pass through Cell No. 30.
If he can pass, it means that the powerful person in Cell No. 30 has temporarily regained his sanity; otherwise, he hasn’t.
It’s like killing two birds with one stone.
As there’s still time before the midnight task refresh, Su Nan doesn’t wait and logs out of the game directly.
Over an hour later.
Midnight.
Su Nan logs into the game.
