MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 128

The prisoner was obviously very happy to see Chi Yiyin again.

He strode towards Chi Yiyin. Although his clothes were ragged and his beard and hair were still tangled into a mess, his spirit was much better than when he was in prison.

There was light in his eyes again, and a smile appeared on his face. Before he could reach Chi Yiyin, he reached out his hand to shake hands with Chi Yiyin to thank him.

"I was short on time before, and I didn't even have time to ask your name."

The prisoner introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Victor. I used to be a watchmaker in the city. Now, as you can see, I am a prisoner in the High Tower Prison."

Someone from behind whispered "Hey!", as if reminding Victor not to trust strangers too much.

But Victor waved his hand indifferently, and said: "It was this man who let me out and gave me hope, so that we can leave from there. I believe he won't do anything. I can see that he and I same, with similar goals.”

"Is that right, sir?"

When the prisoner asked Chi Yiyin with a smile, he was obviously taken aback by his attire, and he paused for a moment before regaining his smile: "I didn't expect that you, who look like a nobleman, would be imprisoned in high school." In Tower Prison?"

Those people behind Victor also showed disapproving and wary expressions, and they were very wary of Chi Yiyin.

Chi Yiyin knew exactly what they were thinking.

When Victor mentioned the High Tower Prison, apart from his disgust, there was also a hint of pride. It was because what they did was denied by the city and even thrown into the High Tower Prison, in their view, it was correct and glorious.

Obviously, Chi Yiyin's clean clothes made them think that Chi Yiyin was also a member of the city's elite.

—What will nobles do when they enter the tower prison?

Is it undercover?

They will have such doubts.

Victor, who took the initiative to raise this question, secretly gave Chi Yiyin an opportunity to explain, giving him the opportunity to prove himself and explain clearly the misunderstanding and precautions involved.

Victor wants to be his partner, he approves of him, wants to do something with him.

It could be Victor's plan.

This is Chi Yiyin's judgment.

So he put a smile on his lips, put the gentle mask on his face again, held hands with Victor, shrugged helplessly, and said: "Those magistrates insisted that I was the victim of the recent serial murder case." murderer."

As soon as these words came out, many prisoners were shocked.

Chi Yiyin noticed that some people were very confused and didn't know what the serial murder case was. It seemed that these people had been locked up in the high tower prison for too long and didn't know what happened outside.

And some people became alert, and even looked at him with faint hostility.

"So you are?" someone asked.

Chi Yiyin played an unlucky guy who was wronged to the fullest.

"I was doing well outside the city, but they arrested me. Because I didn't want to give in to them and say something nice, they threatened me and said they would let me rot in prison."

"If you want me to say, what does this have to do with me? I just drank coffee on the side of the road and accidentally bumped into a murder scene."

Because Chi Yiyin's pitiful appearance of wanting to cry without tears was so realistic, those who were hostile to him just now couldn't help nodding their heads and looked at him with sympathy.

There are also many people who speak for him with the same hatred, and scold the magistrate with him.

"Those fat pigs know how to drink coffee and have afternoon tea in the public security hall. They know better than anyone else which restaurant's donuts are delicious, but when it comes to cases, hehe, no one has a clear mind."

"It's no surprise, this is indeed the style of those people's handling of cases."

"If you want me to say, they should be hanged on the city wall!"

"Hey, I was wronged by them too. It's been ten years, a whole ten years, and I don't know how my wife and children are doing now..."

Chi Yiyin's experience immediately resonated with many people, and the similar experience immediately narrowed the distance between them, making the prisoners look at him friendly.

From now on, Chi Yiyin is not a suspicious stranger, but a poor man who is also oppressed and wronged. He is one of them, and they want to help Chi Yiyin.

Many people have already stepped forward and patted Chi Yiyin on the shoulder, trying to give him some strength.

"Don't worry, you're out now. We can always find a way to change."

Chi Yiyin smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

[Congratulations to the survivor Chi Yiyin, you have obtained the "Favorability of the Tower", and the overall favorability of the current instance is -60/100. 】

The system beeps.

Chi Yiyin frowned, and then realized what was going on.

Tangjia City is controlled by the dignitaries, and the prisoners from the High Tower Prison are disliked by the dignitaries. Gaining the favor of the prisoners in the Tower Prison is naturally equal to the negative favor of the city.

In a few minutes, he quickly mingled with these prisoners and successfully integrated into this group.

Some people even told Chi Yiyin about their experiences, hoping to encourage him.

From their mouths, Chi Yiyin heard the fragmented but real past, and gradually pieced together the truth of the city.

Some prisoners were thrown in because they crashed into nobles' carriages, some issued newspapers in violation of regulations, and published some unfavorable news on them, and some tried to assassinate nobles...

All those who are thrown into the Tower Prison have a unified reason.

— Bad for the powerful.

So the law of Tangjia City judged that they were harmful to the city, and only death and God could clean up their sins.

Some prisoners have lost their families because of this, and some have been imprisoned for too long and have become muddled.

But now that they had the chance to escape from the Tower, everyone was thrilled, and some cried.

And hate.

They regarded Chi Yiyin as one of their own, and did not avoid him on purpose, so they openly discussed how to make those nobles suffer bad luck and get the punishment they deserved.

The prisoners were filled with righteous indignation, and Victor interrupted from time to time, which won the nods of the others.

Chi Yiyin observed quietly, and quickly figured out the status and affiliation of this group of people.

Clearly, Viktor has authority among the group, is in a position of leadership, and his words are heard and respected.

Chi Yiyin's eyes flickered, and he had more conversations with Victor intentionally or unintentionally, which invisibly shortened the distance between him and the other party, and made him gradually trust him.

There are a large number of these prisoners, and they have different experiences. Their addresses are scattered throughout Tangjia City. It is impossible for Chi Yiyin to completely control everyone.

But he doesn't need to.

As long as Victor trusted him, he would indirectly control the movements of these people.

"It's also time to go home. I don't know how the family is doing. After all these years..."

Someone choked up.

It quickly struck a chord.

Everyone returned home like an arrow.

No matter how much they opposed Tangjia City, their family members were their weakness. They couldn't wait to confirm their family's safety and listen to their voices.

Before parting, many people said goodbye to Chi Yiyin and shook hands, as if they were close to him.

Although Chi Yiyin didn't speak much the whole time, everyone felt that he knew him very well, understood his feelings, and referred him as a brother and a close friend.

Victor gave Chi Yiyin an address.

"What I do will be dangerous, so I need a more hidden location. After we part today, it will be difficult for others to find me again."

When Victor shook hands, he stuffed the piece of cloth with the address written in carbon ash into Chi Yiyin's hand, and whispered: "If you need help, come here to find me. The prison, thank you Yes, bro."

"I wish you all the best in finding your country."

When being urged by other prisoners, Victor also made a gesture that Chi Yiyin had never seen before, which seemed to mean religious prayer and blessing.

He hastily whispered this to Chi Yiyin, then raised his voice to respond to his companion, then turned around and started running with the prisoners.

Before stepping onto the bridge on the river and leaving completely in front of the high tower prison, Victor suddenly stopped while running, turned around and took a deep look at Chi Yiyin, then turned his head with a smile.

His figure was quickly overwhelmed by other prisoners and disappeared.

And the system also popped up a prompt: [Congratulations to the survivor Chi Yiyin, you have obtained the basic information of the important supporting role "Victor", the current information collection progress is 60/100, and the story of the important supporting role will start after all are completed. 】

[You have received "Victor's Blessing", this achievement will increase your lucky value by -10 points, and you will receive a dungeon for one hour. Recalibrating the time... the current countdown is 57:09:28.]

Lucky value drops and time increases at the same time?

Chi Yiyin blinked, paying more attention to Victor's identity.

If the copy fails once, the time will be halved, but the trust and favor from Victor will increase the time by one hour.

This is almost decisive for a high-difficulty dungeon, and any top-notch battle cares about the gap of every minute and every second.

Victor.

Chi Yiyin recited his name silently, looked down at the rags that were unfolded in his hands, and a smile of interest flashed across his eyes.

An important supporting role... What kind of story will there be?

He suddenly became curious.

Take a look at this address later to see if there is any other valuable information.

But when Chi Yiyin looked away, he was about to speak to Skye, but he stopped suddenly when he put on a smile.

He just...seemed...like, what did he see on the river?

Chi Yiyin turned back to look at the river in doubt and seriousness.

next second—

"Beijing tea?!"

Chi Yiyin spoke out in disbelief.

The red bird hurried over to have a look.

Then everyone saw, in the wide and deep river, a figure floating on the water and going down the river.

The man's eyes were closed tightly, and it seemed that his chest had stopped rising and falling, and there was no struggle in the river.

It's like... dead.

And that face is exactly Jing Cha.

At that moment, Red Bird only felt his brain explode with a "buzz!".

He rushed to the embankment and was about to jump off regardless, but was stopped by Skye next to him.

"Let me do it,"

Skye jumped into the river like a blind fish, quickly bypassed the aquatic plants and the turbulent undercurrent, and brought back Jingcha floating on the river.

Jingcha, who is the best at fighting and also the most vigilant, is almost an intuitive animal...but he doesn't feel the approach of other people, allowing Skye to approach him, obediently following without any resistance.

When Red Bird, who was waiting anxiously on the shore, took Beijing tea from Skye, he was startled as soon as he touched it.

Jingcha's body temperature...is so low that it doesn't look like a living person.

But like a cold ice cube.

Red Bird burst into tears at that moment: "Ancestor—!"

Chi Yiyin next to him frowned silently, and Skye was also full of apology and sympathy, feeling the same sadness.

In the live broadcast room, there was even more silence.

Then there were high-level players who knew the pair of Red Bird Jingcha, and lowered their heads in lament, and some even sighed silently.

[A level copy, and it has not been cleared or explored... It is a desert in no man's land, full of unknown dangers, and everyone who enters is a warrior who opened up wasteland. We will always remember his name. ]

[I didn't expect him to... He is that title, alas, it hurts the same kind. Maybe the next one to die is me. ]

[Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, may you rest in peace. ]①

"Red Bird."

Chi Yiyin's palm lightly landed on Hongniao's shoulder, with a serious tone: "Jingcha..."
