Chapter 108: Time to Switch Places Behind Bars

Enforcing restraints on the jailers?

Ronat, having spat out the last of his bile, wiped the corner of his mouth in disbelief. But they are not the prisoners!

Why do you think that only the prisoners chips would have restraints added to them?

Harvey sneered: Or perhaps, why do you assume that a regular persons chip cant have restraints?

The Register of Sinners

You were already under multiple restraints while you were detained in the Heresy Court, long before you ever signed your name in the Register of Sinners. Theres no essential difference between you and an ordinary person. The Register merely ensures that our restraints are permanent.

Ronat muttered, I thought it was a hunter using a Miracle on me

A chill rose in Ashes heart.

This meant that everyone in the Blood Moon Dominion, whether ordinary citizens or sorcerers, wore a figurative noose around their necka shackle that could strangle them at any moment. If the processor received the command, it could control anyone within the area to do anything, even if it meant piercing their own throats!

It was almost laughable; Ashe had never truly laid eyes on the Blood Moon Dominion, nor had he met an ordinary citizen from there, but he had uncovered many secrets beyond the reach of common folk.

It was as if he were observing the world through a crack, collecting fragmented keywords: multi-races, Human Rights Association, foster homes, Heresy Court, the Church, memory artisans, Blood Moon Tribunal, Woodpecker Gang These keywords pieced together a bizarre world that was democratic yet dictatorial, affluent yet impoverished, respectful of human rights yet invasive of privacy, indulging in entertainment to death yet harmoniously stable.

It resembled a blood lotus blooming out of the mudradiantly tempting but exuding a rancid, sordid stench.

Perhaps this had a lot to do with Ashes sources of information. After all, what beauty, truth, or goodness could he witness in a death row prison? Yet no perfect nation exists on earth; perhaps once Ashe steps out, he might find it alluringlying on a sofa, watching the Blood Moon Tribunal broadcast punctually every month.

This is certainly not information that a mere cleaner should have access to. Igor suddenly said: Who exactly are you? How did you manage to deceive the Heresy Court?

I am just a cleaner, Harvey stated calmly. My duty is to deal with bodies, making sure they do not call for help, do not resist, and do not attempt to escape.

A Controller!Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.

Something clicked for Ronat: There were some legendary murders in the industry in the past few years. Victims were murdered at home without any signs of struggle in the room, the bodies vanished without a trace, and among those victims were sorcerers This killer was dubbed the Controller, believed to wield a powerful controlling Miracle, even capable of completely stripping Two-wing casters of their ability to resist!

You flatter me, I simply exploit existing vulnerabilities. Harvey shook his head. As for how I evaded the Heresy Court, its simpleerase the memory first, then find a way to retrieve it later.

Ashe was perplexed: If you can erase memories, then why not just delete all illegal memories outright? Wouldnt that result in an immediate release without charges?

He cant, Igor explained. He specializes in the necromancy school, and most of his memories are tied to necromancy. If he deletes the memories related to necromancy, its as good as making himself amnesiac; and if he deletes the memories of dealing with bodies without touching the necromancy part, the Heresy Court would definitely know hes erased his memorynecromancy cant be learned without dealing with corpses.

This is the best outcome he has calculated.

The moment the umbrella bird dragon touched the Moon Silk, Sonyas entire body tensed like a coiled spring. Her wooden sword traced out a perfect arc, unleashing a surging crimson sword aura!

Miracle Murderous Moon Reflection! A new miracle fusing the Murderous Sword into Moon Reflection to increase its power!

The umbrella bird dragons body was slashed apart. With a resentful cry, it dispersed into wisps of smoke, dropping two spirits.

Seeing this, Ashe sighed, Still no experience orbs. At this rate, who knows how long itll take for you to advance to a two-wing caster

Sonya consoled, Theres no need to rush these things. Many casters say the Virtual World listens to our desires the more we want something, the more it withholds it. But when we stop caring, itll send it our way.

Sounds like the Virtual World is bitchy. .

If you say two more words, Im afraid you wont be able to see the experience orbs again for the rest of your life.

With the help of Virtual World Telescope and Eviction Venom, Ashe could now steadily look for knowledge creatures to hunt. In order to promote the Swordwoman to the Second Wing as early as possible, thus allowing himself also could be helped, Ashe had then specialized in searching for Knowledge Creatures that might burst out with experience orbs.

However, after hunting the Chopper Dragon and Umbrella Bird Dragon consecutively tonight, apart from bursting out a few Art Spirits, he couldnt see any sign of the Experience orb at all. Not only did this make Ashe a bit discouraged, at this rate, it was simply unrealistic to want to feed the swordwoman into a two-winged in ten days.

Sonya lay down in the canoe, directly resting both her feet on the edge of the boat, and said lazily, Masters basically rely on learning and sailing in the virtual realm to raise their factions realm, and once in a while, when they come across an experience pearl, they rejoice with joy, and if they can come across the experience orbs of their major faction, its even more of a bounty that can be bragged about for the rest of ones life. Using experience pearls to pile up the major faction realm? Ideas like this would be laughed at by little children when you say it out loud.

Ashe glanced at the pair of slender legs swinging lazily, and the sliver of white between stockings and skirt. Or is it just me, I feel like youve been more relaxed around me lately.

Wh-what are you talking about, Im just taking a short rest because Im a little tired.

But I remember you used to always sit properly even when resting, perfect posture and all.

Sitting is nothing compared to lying down for comfort. Hey, can you make the boat bigger, with maybe a leg rest? I wanna stretch out and put my feet in the boat, really relax with a good stretch.

Dont get too carried away now, Swordswoman!

What, its okay for you to act like a spoiled child but I cant stretch?

Wh-wh-what acting! Ashe stammered in agitation, When have I ever did that! Dont go making stuff up!

Sonya cleared her throat: My whole body feels light as a balloon, yet only a slender thread ties me to the ground. Swordswoman, to me, you are that thread'

Hmph, you think youve got dirt on me? You think Im the sort who gets embarrassed over things like this?

Then-

But having your feet out like that, its easy to get your socks wet. Wouldnt want you slipping during battle. Actually, I know some foot massages why dont you put your feet in my lap?
