Chapter 67: Don't respond! Don't respond!

Views:

Blood Moon Kingdom, Broken Lake Prison.

"If you've been hurt enough, use your hands to cut it open quickly, yesterday's curse. When night falls and day comes, only scars remain..."

Igula woke up from the velvet bed, yawned, and went to the bathroom to take off his pajamas and nightcap. He first tested the temperature with his toes, then lay in the bathtub filled with warm water, and took a comfortable bath in the early morning.

Just to be able to take a bath at any time, Igula paid 1 contribution point/3 days to live in this high-end dormitory. Therefore, his contribution point is actually quite tight. After all, living here for five months will consume 50 contribution points, which is equivalent to the total initial contribution point of a death row prisoner.

However, he thought it was worth the money, because taking a bath was not only Igula's hobby, but also seemed to be the hobby of the 'Contracted' spirit.

During one of his baths, Igula fell asleep due to being too tired. While he was half asleep, he vaguely saw the 'Contracted' spirit riding a little yellow duck and playing in the bathtub.

Although the 'Contract' spirit disappeared immediately after Igula opened his eyes, as if it had never appeared, Igula believed in his judgment that the 'Contract' spirit liked taking a bath very much.

If it were left out, it would at most be an interesting topic for casual conversation, but it would have no practical significance.

Although there is no doubt that magic spirits are intelligent and have moods and preferences, most magicians rarely pay attention to the situation of magic spirits. After all, as long as the magic power is output, the magic spirits have to obey the magician's orders even if they are unwilling.

However, in Broken Lake Prison, this information became Igula's life-saving trump card - in an environment where no one can output magical power, the death row prisoners can only rely on triggering the resonance of magical spirits if they want to cast spells, so whether the magical spirits will do something becomes a very critical factor!

Although Igula still cannot be sure whether the fact that he can almost 100% activate the 'Contract' magic spirit in prison has anything to do with the fact that he often takes baths to please the 'Contract' magic spirit.

But as the saying goes, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, and the less you do, the better. Prison is not a place to do research. As long as Igula has more than enough contribution, he will not change his slightly "luxurious" lifestyle.

After taking a nap in the bathtub, Igula didn't put on any clothes, dried himself and went to wash up. He tried to empty his mind, not thinking about anything, making himself dull and dazed, and mechanically brushed his teeth in front of the mirror. His movements were very big, and the toothpaste foam would splash onto the mirror.

After a while, the toothpaste foam splashed onto the mirror and formed words as it flowed along the mirror in twists and turns.

This means that Igula successfully activated his other magic, 'Revelation'.

The 'Revelation' spell is a trophy that Igula found in the virtual world before. It is very versatile. You can activate the 'Revelation' spell to check the situation before doing anything. Then the surrounding environment will change and give you some useful reminders.

After being imprisoned, Igula tried many methods before he found the correct way to trigger the 'revelation' spirit: try to empty your mind while brushing your teeth, but not completely. You must maintain a little bit of thought like 'I want some advice' to trigger the resonance of the spirit.

It is difficult to strike a balance between the two. Igulla does not succeed every day, but he was lucky today.

However, Igulla only regarded this process as a small change in prison life, because most of the suggestions given by "Revelation" were small tips like "Don't eat fat for lunch", "Remember to bring tissues", and "Don't wear underwear".

These suggestions are helpful, but only slightly.

Even if Igula doesn't do it, there will be no harm.

But this is normal. After all, Igula has never studied the prophecy faction, and it is already quite good that he can use the 'revelation' magic to this extent.

If the 'Revelation' spirit gave a very severe warning at some point, Igula would be afraid instead - because that meant that Igula had come to an extremely important fork in the road of fate, and the unknown veil of countless intertwined destinies was so close that the 'Revelation' spirit would react!

For example, now!

In Igula's increasingly terrified eyes, the toothpaste foam left a pale warning on the mirror:

"Don't respond! Don't respond!"

It was the first time that Igula saw punctuation marks in the prompt, and it was an exclamation mark!

He quickly calmed down and considered whether he should follow the guidance of revelation.

Because not all guidance from revelation is correct.

In other words, "right and wrong, pros and cons" are cultural concepts of human society, which are very personal and secretive. The same thing may be viewed differently by people from different regions, races, or even different people. For example, some people think that "sleeping in" is bad, while others enjoy it.

Small matters like 'sleeping in' are fine, but even on big matters like 'life and death', many people have different opinions. Some people believe that the sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn, some people believe that a good death is worse than a bad life, and some people sometimes want to die and sometimes want to live.

Even humans themselves cannot distinguish between right and wrong, pros and cons, how can magical spirits possibly tell the difference

Therefore, the tips given by the "revelation" magic spirit are often very short-sighted. It is based on the magician's current state, and any special accidents that change the magician's current state will be judged as harmful.

For example, on the day when Revelation suggested "don't wear underwear", a prison guard found Igula and wanted to consult him on how to pursue girls. After all, Igula is handsome and has a little veela blood. He can be seen as a scumbag Aquaman at first glance.

The guard had a delicate appearance and long hair, which gave him an androgynous temperament. Although Igula had normal sexual orientation, his Veela bloodline made him not only omnivorous but also prone to desire. As a result, he could not help but react, which scared the other person away and missed the opportunity to establish a friendly relationship with the guard.

Now that the revelation warns him 'not to respond', will it make him miss another opportunity to establish a deep relationship with the prison guards

But Igula quickly made a decision - if he didn't listen to the revelation, he would suffer the consequences!

Anyway, he is living a comfortable life now. Except for not having the freedom to curse people, his life is not bad. He eats well, sleeps well, has a regular schedule, and has complete entertainment facilities.

Moreover, he has been in jail for more than a year.

Prison is a strange place. At first, you hate it; then, you get used to it; finally, you can't leave it.

Igulla has become accustomed to this kind of life and has no motivation to change reality.

It's funny to say that last night during the live broadcast of the Blood Moon Trial, when Igula saw the death row inmate swearing, he actually felt disgusted. It wasn't that he disdained foul language, but that he subconsciously felt that 'swearing is wrong'.

Igula, the "fraudster" who specializes in exploiting legal loopholes, has gradually become a supporter of the law. When you get used to the shackles, you will agree with and even beautify the meaning of the shackles. This is the meaning of Shattered Lake Prison, and this is the power of chip transformation.

After leaving the dormitory, Igula walked quickly to the restaurant, determined to stay silent outside and ignore anyone who came to him, and then go back to the dormitory after breakfast.

He also thought about whether he should just spend his contribution points to order food and hide in the dormitory all day. But because he lost to Ash once before, his contribution points were a little tight, so he should try to save on unnecessary expenses like eating.

It’s just a matter of not talking while eating. Igula doesn’t believe that he can’t do it!

Igula found a corner and sat down with his plate in hand, but someone sat opposite him the next second.

"Good morning, my friend Igulla! Hey, your lobster balls are great, can I have one?"

The corner of Igula's mouth twitched, and he silently watched Ash use the rare chopsticks to pick up the lobster balls.

However, Ash didn't seem to be very skilled and failed to catch the lobster ball, which flew out of the plate and onto the table.

Ash blinked and tried to clamp it again, but still missed and it flew out again.

The third time he tried, he finally got the lobster ball right, so he put it back on Igula's plate, then picked up a clean lobster ball and ate it.

"You do not mind right?"

The corner of Igula's mouth twitched, but he still didn't say anything, but he ate faster.

While eating, Ash knocked over his cup with a very exaggerated movement, and the milk spilled all over the table and dripped onto his clothes.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, can I help you wipe it?"

Ash took a tissue and wiped Igula's clothes. Igula shook off his hand without saying a word and went straight into the restaurant's bathroom.

After washing the milk stains off his clothes, Igula thought that since he was already here, he went to the toilet to pee.

However, Ash appeared next to him again: "Oh, what a coincidence, Igula, you are here to pee too."

Igula remained silent and silently increased the flow rate.

"Oops, I didn't wipe my mouth just now. Igula, can you help me hold it? I'll go get a tissue."

Igula almost couldn't hold back, but he recalled the warning on the mirror, so he clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, and swallowed the words in his throat.

"I don't have a towel after washing my hands. Can I use your clothes to wipe them?"

"Have you finished your breakfast? Let's go to the Death Fighting Club together. Can you introduce me to the strong men in the Death Fighting Club?"

"Did you watch the Blood Moon Trial last night? I want to consult you on a few questions. Of course, in return, you can also ask me questions."

"Don't leave so quickly, wait for me, okay?"

Igula treated Ash as if he was farting all the way, never responded to Ash's requests, and walked quickly towards his dormitory.

Looking at Igula's hurried back, Ash naturally felt very strange.

He has revealed so many flaws, why doesn't Igula take the bait

Igola Bogin is a villain with the reputation of being a 'trickster' and a 'beautiful beast'. It is his nature to bully the good and fear the evil. How come he is so well-behaved today, like a kitten that has not yet been weaned

No, I have to use my ultimate move!

Ding!

Hearing the sound of gold coins falling to the ground, Igula looked over almost subconsciously out of professional reaction, and heard a voice like heavenly sound: "Can you help me pick up the gold coins?"

"No problem." Igula instantly shook out a copper coin painted with gold paint that could be disguised as a gold coin from his sleeve. After he swapped the gold coin, he suddenly reacted and started talking.

However, Igula was not panicked. He looked at Ash and said, "Although I don't know why you insisted on making a request to me, now it is as you wish - the contract spirit has taken effect. I have fulfilled your request, so you must also meet my request."

In Shattered Lake Prison, no one dared to agree to Igula's request, and no one dared to make a request to Igula - this was because under the influence of the contract spirit, no matter who established a "transaction" relationship with Igula, Igula could use the contract to force the other party to fulfill their promise, and he himself would not be responsible.

The most wonderful contract is when the other party makes a request to Igula, but does not explain how he will repay. This is like giving Igula a blank check and letting Igula fill in whatever he wants!

Therefore, Igula used great willpower to suppress his desire to respond to Ash, because as long as he agreed to Ash's request, he would have the opportunity to make unlimited requests to Ash, even if he designated Ash to lose to him in the next death match!

Igula had realized that Ash did this on purpose, but he was not afraid.

Even if Ash really has a conspiracy, he now has a chance to make a wish to Ash, what is he afraid of

In order to intimidate Ash, Igula deliberately summoned his contracted spirit.

The Contracted Spirit is a winged villain holding chains. The illusory chains in its hands extend all the way to Ash's neck, as if it can strangle Ash's throat at any time.

"I advise you to be honest, Ash Hiss." Igula narrowed his eyes: "I can now make a wish of you without any restrictions, and you must satisfy me."

"Any wish?"

"Of course, even if it means asking you to poop upside down." Igula said proudly: "Ash, you are already my 'good friend' who can do whatever I want."

“That’s great.”

Ash stretched out his hand, and a one-winged spirit appeared in his palm.

The magic spirit looked like a one-winged Libra. When it appeared, a section of the chain extended from the contracted magic spirit suddenly fell to the left side of the Libra. In order to keep the Libra balanced, the same chain appeared on the right side of the Libra, extending all the way to Igula's neck!

The chains of the Contract Spirit trapped Ash, and the chains of the Libra Spirit trapped Igula!

“Balance exists between all things.”

Looking at Igula's increasingly ugly and distorted face, Ash smiled and said, "Igula, helping each other is what makes us 'good friends', right?"
