Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1377 - 1307: I Am the God of Slaughter, Calling Sharp Sword!

Its expression was ferocious and twisted, and the final look in its eyes was filled with unwillingness, as if it had suffered inhuman torment before dying, full of resentment.

This expression alone was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

Huang Yi checked the information on the corpse and quickly learned its name—

The Guide·Fallen Angel·Satan

The corpse happened to be lying at the entrance of the row of tree walls, and with the prefix "The Guide" in its name, it was clearly the gatekeeping NPC here.

This scene immediately reminded Huang Yi of Assassin!

Assassin was the NPC guarding Hell’s Gate, tasked with purifying the souls of those entering purgatory, but had been killed by the Heavenly Demon before, in order to prevent Huang Yi from entering purgatory.

Now, this Fallen Angel, Satan, was also slain by the Heavenly Demon, clearly because it too bore some important responsibility. Killing it would bring great losses to those who came later.

Huang Yi looked at the barrier at that entrance, which exuded the aura of the Divine Domain, extremely powerful.

He immediately pulled out the Wrath of the Godslayer and attacked the barrier with all his might, torrents of immense strength poured out onto the barrier, yet the barrier remained unmoved, easily withstanding his attack.

Without the strength of a Divine Domain, it’s probably difficult to break this barrier.

He put away his weapon, his gaze once more shifted to the corpse on the ground.

The key still lay with this Fallen Angel, Satan.

Only it could help open the door, and with the prefix "The Guide" in its name, it was clearly meant to offer some important guidance to those coming after. Forcing entry without listening to its guidance would likely lead to big trouble.

In any case, this NPC must be resurrected.

Thunder God and Kid both have the means to resurrect NPCs, but they are still at the foot of the mountain, there’s no time to wait for them to catch up.

The Eye of Time cannot be used in purgatory, unable to see what this Fallen Angel, Satan, said while alive.

The newly acquired SS-grade Heart of the Pure Realm isn’t suitable for this situation either; if that Heart of the Pure Realm was installed on this Fallen Angel, Satan, the corpse could be controlled by him, but it’s not true resurrection, and Huang Yi couldn’t learn the other’s memory or the guidance.

...

Huang Yi paced back and forth, pondering solutions while turning to look at that breach.

The barrier on that breach blocked his view, unable to see the situation inside, unsure of what was in there, or how far the Heavenly Demon and Spirit Demon had progressed!

The outside world of The Second World was enduring refinement every passing second, time was pressing, he couldn’t delay any longer, he must quickly figure out a way to resurrect this NPC!

Suddenly, Huang Yi stopped pacing, thinking of a person—

Sharp Sword!

After Huang Yi died and went to the Underworld, he happened to see Sharp Sword at Purgatory Mountain, obviously, Sharp Sword was also focusing on this battle for control of purgatory.

Sharp Sword had significant energy in the Underworld, he could directly locate the soul of the Fallen Angel, Satan, in the Underworld, maybe possessing some ability to bring that soul back to the Mortal World for resurrection!

Huang Yi immediately opened the friends list to take a look, at this moment Sharp Sword’s name was gray, indicating he was either offline or in a region where messages couldn’t be sent, like the Underworld.

Huang Yi had to take other measures to indirectly contact Sharp Sword.

The next moment, he immediately sent a voice message to Poet, saying: "I have important words to announce to the whole world!"

"Alright!" Poet agreed directly, quickly explaining: "Dear viewers, next up, God of Slaughter, fighting atop the clouds, has important words to announce to the entire world! Please listen carefully!"

Hearing these words, countless viewers worldwide watching the live broadcast were stunned, then stopped what they were doing and curiously stared at the live broadcast screen, holding their breaths.

At this critical moment, what exactly does Huang Yi have to say that needs to be announced to the entire world?

At this time, Huang Yi took a deep breath, faced the direction of Purgatory Mountain’s foot, like facing the whole world, solemnly declared—

"Calling Sharp Sword, I am God of Slaughter. What I’m doing now concerns the safety of the entire The Second World, and I need your help. I want to request you to resurrect an NPC named Fallen Angel, Satan, I think you might have the means to accomplish this task. I ask everyone who knows Sharp Sword to quickly convey this message to him, thank you!"

Huang Yi’s voice message immediately, through Poet’s live broadcast, echoed throughout countless public TV screens in squares of the real world, echoed on televisions in thousands of households, echoed in the subway cars of every passenger’s phone, reaching the ears of tens of billions of viewers.

Globally, audiences were stunned!

Huang Yi was actually seeking Sharp Sword’s help through this method!

Sharp Sword was a very mysterious player, he never appeared publicly, countless companies had tried to get him to endorse, countless event organizers had tried to get him to attend events, countless TV stations wanted to interview him, but there was no way to contact him. Even the annual festival held by the Era of Corporation, Sharp Sword never participated.

No one knows how to contact Sharp Sword.

...

China, Hunan Province, Chenzhou City.

In a luxurious villa, a little girl with pigtails, as cute as a porcelain doll, was sitting on a big sofa, swinging her legs, watching the TV broadcast with wide eyes.

She was hugging a pillow with the image of Huang Yi printed on it, along with a wobbly handwritten signature—

Autumn Slaughter!

Huang Yi’s ID in the Virtual World is [Instakill], but it was mistakenly written as [Autumn Slaughter] here, yet it was still boldly printed.

The little girl hugged this pillow tightly, as if it was a treasure she would never let go.

At this moment, Huang Yi’s words requesting help from Sharp Sword came through the live TV broadcast.

The little girl’s mouth dropped open, dumbfounded for a moment, then she quickly put down the pillow, jumped off the sofa, and ran to a room.

On the bed in that room lay a young man, wearing a golden ring on his right index finger.

If anyone knowledgeable saw that ring, they would be very surprised because it was the most expensive Golden Ring issued by Era of Corporation in all virtual equipment, not something an ordinary wealthy person could afford.

The little girl ran to the bedside, reached out her soft little hands, and shook the man lying on the bed vigorously, calling out sweetly: "Brother, brother, come out! Come out now!"

After a while, the man finally opened his eyes and, seeing the little girl by the bed, immediately frowned: "Sister, what’s up? I’m busy collecting those souls in Purgatory! I can’t spare the time to play with you."

"God of Slaughter brother is calling you!" The little girl said excitedly with her big eyes wide open, "In the live TV broadcast just now, God of Slaughter brother was asking for your help! You must help him!"

"What? God of Slaughter is asking for my help on live TV?" The man looked puzzled, "What does he need help with?"

"You just come and see for yourself." As the little girl spoke, she grabbed the man’s hand and ran towards the door.

Although the man was reluctant, he got out of bed and followed the little girl to the living room outside, staring at the TV.

The little girl pressed the playback button, and the broadcast reverted to earlier, with Huang Yi’s voice playing again—

"Calling Sharp Sword, I am the God of Slaughter. What I am doing now concerns the safety of the entire Second World..."

After hearing Huang Yi’s words, Sharp Sword was stunned, and his expression became serious.

"I do have the ability to resurrect souls in the Underworld, but how does God of Slaughter know about it? How does he know my secret? That’s strange..." The man muttered to himself, touching his chin.

"Brother! Did you hear? Did you hear? Go and help God of Slaughter brother!" The little girl tugged on Sharp Sword’s hand, looking up with twinkling eyes.

"Well..." The man was immediately troubled, biting his lip, "This isn’t easy to help! If I assist him, then it would imply that I do have the means to resurrect NPCs, and I don’t want to reveal too much in front of him! Who knows if he’ll be a friend or foe in the future!"

"I don’t care! I don’t care!" The little girl pouted instantly, shaking the man’s arm vigorously, "You have to help him, or I’ll cry for you to see!"

As she said, her big eyes quickly filled with tears, on the verge of breaching the dam. If the man dared to say no, those tears would immediately burst forth uncontrollably.

"Oh! Be reasonable!" The man spread his hands, looking bitterly at the little girl.

"Waa~" The little girl’s lips quivered, and she burst into tears, her tears rolling down like a broken string of beads.

The man’s heart immediately softened, and he squatted down helplessly, reaching out to wipe away the tear stains on the little girl’s face, gently saying: "Alright, alright! Don’t cry, I’ll go help him! I really don’t get it, I’m your real brother, but you’re siding with an outsider and not thinking about me."

At this point, his gaze unintentionally swept over to the sofa, caught sight of the pillow with the crooked "Autumn Slaughter" signature, and remembered the time he asked Instakill for this autograph.

Back then, he couldn’t resist his sister’s pestering, so he had to agree.

That incident made him lose face, as he and Instakill were on the same level of skill, both possessing dignity and pride, but for his sister, he set aside his pride and asked Instakill for the autograph.

"Then hurry up and go!" The little girl immediately stopped crying and said in a clear voice. It seemed that crying or not crying was just a thought away for her; she could control it any time, cry when needed, and stop once she achieved her goal.

Sharp Sword helplessly stood up, shrugged his shoulders, and strode back to his room.

The little girl climbed back onto the sofa, picked up the pillow again, and gave Huang Yi on it a big kiss, saying sweetly, "God of Slaughter brother, you must work hard, and dethrone my brother to dominate the entire world!"
