Chapter 280: Aogude’s Gift!

I left a gift inside of you.

。。。

Pop!

Jiang Chen quickly reached out his right hand into the darkness, and in an instant, he rushed out, but his movement suddenly slowed down!

Countless eerie green mists surged in, wrapping around his limbs, and invisible green ghostly claws crawled all over his face!

The constant sound of bells ringing behind him, along with various eerie whispers, all indicated one thing!

The door to the Hall of Echoes had opened!

Jiang Chen’s face gradually filled with blue hair, his eyes were also engulfed by the specters, sinking into a death-like darkness.

"Morning…"

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Chen’s expression was very calm, "Shh."

"Don’t you recognize Second Uncle?"

Jiang Chen chuckled inside.

Once I turned around, all I saw was hell.

Now I don’t look back, feeling nothing but relief before me.

"Aogude, the same trick, no need to play it again, right?"

Just as Jiang Chen mentioned that, the darkness in front of him suddenly disappeared, but what appeared in front of him made him hesitate.

。。。

The yellow sand filled the sky, the scorching sun above.

On a mountain of corpses from different races, a person fell backwards and rolled off the bodies.

The man Jiang Chen had never seen before.

He was wearing a suit of armor decorated with dragon patterns, and a golden cloak stained red with blood, torn and tattered.

The man had three moles under his right eye and a scar on his mouth.

And on his forehead, there was a purple mark.

Jiang Chen recognized this mark.

This is the mark of the Underworld School.

As the man fell on the mountain of corpses, landing on the sand.

Suddenly, a ghost materialized out of the calm air.

His face was covered with black cloth, showing only his eyes, and he had a green mark on his wrist.

This is the emblem of Ghost School.

"Can you still stand up?"

The man lying on the yellow sand slowly opened his eyes, "You’re still alive…Caesar, have we…succeeded?"

Caesar squatted down, "Yes, we succeeded."

The man lying on the ground smiled faintly, blood seeping from his mouth, "We couldn’t step into the Tenth Level, so we could only create an artificial Tenth Level."

"An existence that can surpass all other Tenth Levels, only then can we qualify to challenge those ten."

Caesar bowed deeply, "Yes, they couldn’t stop us, now we have switched roles of offense and defense."

The man slowly closed his eyes, "This way…I can also retreat…tell His Majesty, Aogude…fight until the very last moment…"

Caesar suddenly clenched his fists, "No one’s sacrifice will be in vain, our names will be sung by future generations."

"General Aogude of the River Styx will also be sung about by future generations."

Aogude’s mouth split open, blood flowing along his lip, "That way…I can die without regrets…"

Tears welled up in Caesar’s bright green eyes, "Take your time on the way to the Hall of Echoes, wait for your brothers."

。。。

What is this?

Jiang Chen couldn’t feel his body, as if he had turned into a spirit, watching a video.

He reached through Caesar’s body, but Caesar didn’t seem to notice him at all.

This is very strange.

The power on Caesar’s body and the ghostly aura were very similar, how could he not see Jiang Chen if they’re from the same ghost school?

Unless, this is just a recording.

Then this General of the Hades…

Is he Aogude?

He is dead?

Impossible, if he is dead then who did Jiang Chen meet before?

Soon, Jiang Chen’s eyes plunged into darkness again.

This time, not in the desert, but in a prosperous city.

Here, it is bustling, with countless pedestrians on the streets, and two children playing and frolicking on the street.

One of the children, with three moles at the corner of his eye, accidentally bumped into a noblewoman, but she just smiled and patted his head.

The child didn’t say anything, he just ran away quickly.

The scene shifted to a corner, where two children leaned against the wall and opened a wallet.

"So much money, would this be enough for us for a year?"

"Guland, maybe we should stop… If we keep doing this, we will get caught sooner or later…"

"What are you talking about? Don’t you want to help your father get better?"

"I…"

"Okay, okay, this time I’ll give you more, alright?"

"I didn’t mean that, I’m worried about you getting into trouble…"

"How could I get into trouble? We’ve done this many times already, if something was going to happen, it would’ve happened by now!"

Guland?

Looking at the three moles at the corner of his eye, is this the young Aogude?

Jiang Chen was puzzled.

The scene in front of his eyes shifted again, directly into a dark room.

Young Guland’s wrist was held down on the table by someone, and there were over a dozen men in armor in the room.

A figure was hidden in the darkness, holding a pipe in his mouth, exhaling smoke, "Hehe, I never expected the queen to have us capture a person who is still a child."

"Don’t understand, huh? Your companion betrayed you."

Guland’s pupils contracted at the words, "Dika… No, how could he betray me?"

The man in the darkness chuckled, "Hehe, children are always so naive, in this world, there are no relationships that cannot be severed."

"Do you understand? I didn’t do anything, I just went door to door to deliver search warrants."

"After explaining the seriousness of the matter to them, and the rewards for reporting, he told everything."

"Alright, which hand do you want to keep now? No, let me rephrase, which hand do you want to lose?"

"In my Prosyria Empire, theft is a crime punishable by cutting off both hands, but for children, a lighter punishment is given."

"Since our queen is so merciful, let’s just chop off one of your hands."

"Choose, which hand to chop off?"

Young Guland trembled as he looked at the bone-cutting knife in front of him, but soon, his body’s trembling stopped.

"In the Empire’s laws, the punishment for children should be cutting their fingers, not their hands, right?"

The man in the darkness chuckled coldly, "I am the Empire’s law, I will deal with you however I want."

Jiang Chen suddenly understood something when he saw this.

The person in front of him seemed to have more to say than just wanting to kill Guland.

He can choose to do whatever he wants, even if he wants to let go.

This clearly hints at something to Guland.

But for a child, are these words a bit too much?

Suddenly, Guland raised his head and said, "What do you want me to do? I am just a rat in the gutter, nothing I do will matter to anyone."

"A thief has no limits, they might even commit murder tomorrow, right?"
