Chapter 22 Prison Turmoil
Mo Jingxian, dressed in the attire of a small ninja village, walked along the streets of Ghost Lantern City.
As he was passing by a desolate path, several grass ninjas suddenly appeared and surrounded him.
"You are a ninja from another village. We suspect you of engaging in illegal activities. Please come with us."
Several ninjas pointed their blades at him, blocking all his escape routes.
Judging from their practiced movements, it was clear that this wasn't the first time they'd done something like this.
Mo Jingxian calmly stretched out her hands, looking as if she were offering her neck for execution.
Yesterday he finally reached an agreement with Long Yunzhi, but he still needs to actively infiltrate the Ghost Lantern City prison.
According to Long Yunzhi, in order to prevent Wuwei from becoming suspicious, the connection between the two must be severed.
However, he also provided a crucial piece of information: the current lord of Hozuki Castle, also known as Muwei, is secretly capturing ninjas from other villages.
Today, Mo Jingxian disguised herself and hadn't been strolling around the streets for long when she unexpectedly received a pair of silver bracelets.
Two special sealing bracelets were worn on his wrists, sealing off the flow of chakra, making him no different from an ordinary ninja.
The grass ninja leading the team secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this mission was not easy.
In recent months, he has participated in several arrest operations, and those arrested have all resisted fiercely.
This is the first time I've encountered such cooperation. With the handcuffs on, even if someone has other ideas, they can't cause any trouble.
Since this guy is cooperating, there's no need to resort to any more tricks.
His head was covered with a black cloth.
Mo Jingxian was carried on someone's shoulder and quickly left.
When the hood was removed, he himself appeared in the cell.
There was no questioning, no trial; they were simply dumped here like cargo.
The cell was small, with iron windows and doors, and even the walls were made of hard granite.
For a ninja who has lost his chakra, trying to escape is nothing short of a pipe dream.
The cell was less than ten square meters and didn't even have a bed, but Mo Jingxian felt quite comfortable.
It was at least cleaner and more comfortable than the hotels he had stayed in before.
The ninja world is strange; some areas have advanced technology, while others seem to live in ancient times.
This also makes many things look very incongruous.
For example, this prison cell is even more comfortable than a hotel.
He stored these random thoughts in a corner of his mind.
Mo Jingxian sat down and began to examine the sealed handcuffs on her wrists.
The chakra stored in his body was like a dozing old tortoise; no matter how hard he tried to mobilize it, it could only tremble slightly.
It seems the seal is working very well.
After the test, he mobilized the water element in the space.
A stream of water, thinner than a hair, trickled into the keyhole of the handcuffs.
They quickly took a walk around inside.
Mo Jingxian visualized the internal structure of the handcuffs in her mind; besides the mechanical device, there was also a sealing rune.
The runes are not complicated.
Not for a long time.
He then deciphered the principle behind this rune.
Slow, Inertia, and Convergence: a rearrangement of the three basic sealing runes.
This sealing technique is quite interesting; the logic behind the communication of several runes in it really caught his eye.
Prison life is inherently boring, but it did allow him to find some enjoyment.
Happy times always seem to pass too quickly.
In less than an hour, the sealing technique lost its mystery in his eyes and was thoroughly studied.
"Why!"
She sighed softly to herself.
One less interesting toy.
He didn't activate the sealing technique inside the handcuffs; it wasn't the right time yet.
He admitted that he was partly driven by greed when he voluntarily jumped into this trap.
However, the moment he heard about the mysterious inheritance, he had already made up his mind.
The temptation of increasing lifespan was great, but more importantly, he guessed that the records in the inheritance might reveal a corner of the mysterious rules of this world.
It's been quite a while since then, and I only remember the gist of most of the Naruto storyline.
But no matter what, he still knew the origin of ninjutsu; it was nothing more than two aliens coming to plant trees.
What about before that?
Where did the extraordinary power that existed before the advent of chakra go?
One can infer from the lair of the three great demons that so-called Sage Techniques also involve chakra energy.
That wasn't true magic, or rather, that kind of magic wasn't pure enough.
Another point is that these animals that have become spirits are all very long-lived. Mo Jingxian does not believe that they do not possess genuine magical inheritances.
He doesn't have the strength to cause trouble in the lair of the three great demons yet, so he can put that idea aside for now.
But he was unwilling to give up the benefits that were offered to him.
As for Long Yunzhi's guarantee, he wouldn't believe a word of it; it was just mutual exploitation.
The problem I now face is how to find that lost heritage.
Mo Jingxian vaguely remembered that the Ghost Lantern Castle prison appeared once in the movie, but she didn't know the specifics of what happened.
He patted his head in frustration, somewhat blaming his past self for not paying more attention to the outside world of the story.
Thinking too much is pointless; there's only one solution right now.
If things get chaotic in the prison, that plot point might be triggered.
Just as I was pondering this, I heard a "clang, clang..."
"Let's go out for some fresh air!"
The doors of the row of cells were opened, and prisoners emerged from their individual cells one by one.
Mo Jingxian mingled into the crowd and followed the flow of people to the prison playground.
Take a deep breath,
When people move from cramped prison cells into the exercise yard, they experience a sense of visual satisfaction from the vast open space.
The prisoners dispersed on the spot, gathering in small groups to enjoy their rare time outside.
The prisoners were very obedient; no one crossed the line, and they automatically followed the rules.
Mo Jingxian stretched her arms and legs, pretending to take a walk while secretly observing the layout of the prison.
The playground is surrounded by high walls and iron fences on three sides, and there is the sound of flowing water outside.
Behind them were prison cells, and five teams of ninjas patrolled the perimeter, not counting the hidden spies.
All the prisoners wore these sealing handcuffs, making it virtually impossible for those who had lost their chakra to escape.
After walking around, he didn't find anything special.
Could the secret be hidden in the prison area?
Mo Jingxian found an open space to sit down, wondering if she should go and investigate tonight.
"You're new here, aren't you?"
My thoughts were interrupted.
A skinny man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face came up and sat down next to him naturally.
"Hmm, so you're an old man."
That's how it is in prison; chatting is considered a decent form of entertainment.
The skinny guy held up one finger and gestured around the playground.
"No one here is more senior than me."
Mo Jingxian smiled; this person's words were quite interesting.
The skinny guy gave him a smug look: "What got you in here?"
"You ate dumplings without dipping them in vinegar, what about you?"
"I ate my dumplings without soy sauce."
The two exchanged a knowing glance and smiled.
After chatting for a while, Mo Jingxian brought up a particular person.
Do you know Kashima Chuuya?
The skinny man replied casually:
"I know him, but..."
"But what?"
The skinny man glanced around, then leaned closer to Mo Jingxian and whispered:
"Kashima Chuuichi betrayed Lord Ryuyun and is now hiding in this prison. You want to find him...?"
"How can we find him?"
Mo Jingxian did not believe that the Dragon Rhyme Gathering was completely unprepared.
Although the radical faction led by Lord Hozuki is currently in the lead, Long Yunzhi must still have a backup plan after years of scheming.
And so, the skinny guy is one of Long Yunzhi's people.
It seems that Long Yunzhi had already begun his planning.
The skinny man still had a playful expression on his face, but his voice began to become calm.
"The master said that as long as you can create enough chaos, you can do whatever you want with Kashima Chung-ho after you take over the prison."
Mo Jingxian also wore a playful smile, and the two chatted like old friends.
"Creating chaos is easy!"
"Are you going to... ah!"
Just as the skinny man was about to ask a question, a fist suddenly appeared in front of him.
Before he could even register what was happening, a fist slammed into his nose like a hammer.
The skinny man's mind opened up a general store.
The sour, spicy, and salty flavors all rushed in at once.
It's not over yet.
Suddenly, Mo Jingxian grabbed the skinny man who had fallen to the ground and lifted him up.
A slap landed on his face.
"Tell me! Why don't you dip your dumplings in soy sauce?"
The skinny guy was confused: "I don't like it... Wait, why did you hit me? No, what was I trying to say?"
The prisoners who were out for exercise saw that there was something to watch and immediately moved closer to the two.
"Hey! Skinny, fight back! You can't even beat a kid, can you?"
"That's right... I'm the bookmaker, anyone want to place a bet?"
The prisoner was excited; this kind of show doesn't happen every day, and people actually came to place bets.
The patrolling ninjas didn't rush over to stop them, seemingly not caring about the matter at all.
Mo Jingxian blinked at the skinny man, not caring whether he could understand the spirit, and slapped him hard and fast.
"Snapped!"
"I told you not to flirt with the old lady next door."
"Snapped!"
"I told you to masturbate in the street."
"Stop!" the skinny man quickly called for a halt, even though he felt he should continue acting alongside Mo Jingxian.
But there are some things you can't take the blame for, or your reputation will be ruined.
The skinny man looked at Mo Jingxian with teary eyes: "I didn't."
"Nothing?"
"I didn't masturbate on the street."
*Slap!* Another slap landed. "Don't I have the right to wrong you?"
Mo Jingxian acted arrogantly and unscrupulously.
On the panel, the reputation value is refreshing rapidly, and it's about to break through the 1500-point mark.
Clearly, he successfully provoked the prisoner's anger.
"Kid, let him go, you're pretty arrogant... Ah!"
If you're going to make a scene, then make it big.
Before Prisoner A could finish speaking, Mo Jingxian's shoe sole had already made intimate contact with his face.
Hit and run, never give anyone a chance to get a kick.
The prisoners were stunned for a second, then a surge of anger rushed to their heads.
"Beat him up!"
"That's outrageous!"
"Grab him..."
With a whoosh, all the prisoners, like bulls released from their pens, their nostrils flaring, surrounded Mo Jingxian across the playground.
Even those who were once ninjas are no different from ordinary people here.
With 35 points of "Life" attribute, Mo Jingxian dodges, counterattacks, and retreats with fluid and graceful movements.
"Waaah..."
The guard ninja finally realized what was happening and blew the warning whistle.
Everything was fine just now, how did it change like this in the blink of an eye?
Filled with doubt and anger, a dozen prison guards rushed in and started beating people in sight.
The riot was quelled shortly afterward.
When investigating the cause, almost all the prisoners pointed their fingers at... Mo Jingxian.
