Both of them acted as soon as they looked at each other. They had a clear division of labor, so it was clear that it was not their first time doing something like this.
Their strategy was simple as soon as they realized that Lin Huang was an Imperial Censor.
The tall guy was responsible for controlling the Red Gold Palace imperial monster, Lancelot, while the skinny man was responsible for killing Lin Huang, the Imperial Censor whose combat strength was only on immortal-level rank-7.
To both of them, the battle would officially end as long as they could control the imperial monsters and kill the Imperial Censor within a short period of time.
But the idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel.
The tall guy and the skinny man's fantasy was completely shattered as soon as they fought.
Just when Lin Huang was about to draw his sword, Lancelot activated its ultimate skill. Tens of thousands of black short swords consolidated in the air and transformed into a giant double-headed boa that was thousands of meters long. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed both of them.
"Leave one of them alive!" Lin Huang shouted immediately.
In reality, the main reason he went after the skinny man earlier was to get some information instead of obtaining points.
Under the attack of Lancelot's Sword Manipulation, Lin Huang could only hear a few devastating cries in the air. Soon, the entire world fell into complete silence.
After the black short swords quickly dissipated, the figures of the two people were finally revealed again.
The skinny man's vitality was gone, and he was now a dead body.
Although the tall guy was still alive, he had fainted. There was not a single part of his body that was still intact.
"Bloody, I'll leave him to you." Lin Huang pouted his lips in the tall guy's direction.
Bloody floated to the tall guy and extended two tentacles. One of them was aimed at the tall guy's head while the other was aimed at the skinny man who was already dead.
A moment later, Bloody retracted its tentacles while the tall guy opened his eyes.
Seeing that Lin Huang and Lancelot were standing in front of him in one piece while the skinny man's dead body was on his left, the tall guy got up in an attempt to escape. However, he realized that he could not move his body.
"Don't try to escape. It's useless," Lin Huang said to the tall guy while smiling.
He was now parasitized by Bloody, but his consciousness was still there. His body was completely controlled by Bloody. He could not even move a finger without Bloody's permission, let alone get up and escape.
"Now, let's play a game. The name of this game is' I ask, you answer '."
"First question, who are you?"
"I …" The tall man wanted to curse, but he realized that his words had become the answer that the other party wanted. "I am a prisoner of this prison."
"Prison?" Lin Huang was a little surprised.
"Yes, this sealed space is a prison, and the people inside are all prisoners like me," the tall man explained uncontrollably.
Lin Huang raised his eyebrows. "So, this Royal Family Trial uses the prison as a training ground. This is really a good way to save money … "
"Who imprisoned you here?" Lin Huang was curious about this question.
This time, the tall man took the initiative to answer the question, "Who else could it be? Those people from the Imperial family. "
"So, what's the reason why you're imprisoned here?" Lin Huang asked again.
"Because I like to suck people's bone marrow." The tall man took a good look at Lin Huang while grinning. "Do you know what kind of bone marrow tastes the best?"
"It's cutting off a person's body while they're still alive. They'll cut the flesh piece by piece and open a small hole on the bone. They'll stick a straw in and suck the bone marrow while it's still warm. It's like drinking tea. You have to take your time to taste it. After eating the first limb, you'll cut the second one. Don't cut it at the same time. The bone marrow will be cold … "
"It seems like you deserve to be imprisoned." The tall man stopped talking as soon as Lin Huang spoke.
Bloody knew that Lin Huang did not want to listen to such a story, so it shut the tall man up right away.
"Next question, what's this trial all about?"
"Every few decades, this kind of trial will open once. The interval between every trial is uncertain. It might be as short as 20 to 30 years or as long as 100 years. " The tall man blurted out the truth uncontrollably, "Each trial is a grand festival for us. The reason being that we can hunt for participants during this month. They're one of the few sources of food we have. "
"Cannibalism?" Lin Huang just understood what the duo meant when they looked at him earlier.
"It's normal here. There's no food or water in this space. The Imperial family only gives us food and water once a year. We have to fight for the other resources ourselves. To us, trial-takers are undoubtedly the best ingredients. "
According to the tall man, cannibalism was the norm here. It was not just his personal hobby.
Initially, Lin Huang was hesitant to kill these people who had no grudge against him. However, it seemed like these people in this prison had no conscience at all.
"Then, why don't you guys kill each other and eat each other? From what I know, there are a total of 10,000 people in this prison, "Lin Huang asked again.
"That's because Imperial has a rule that the total population in this prison can't be less than 10,000. Apart from special periods like the Royal Trials, they'll kill everyone in this prison if the population is less than 10,000. Nobody will be spared. In order for us to survive, we have to ensure the number of people. "
"Why is everyone so obedient and follows the rules? What if someone goes crazy and refuses to follow the rules? What if he kills everyone and kills everyone? "Lin Huang raised his brow.
"There are three chiefs in the prison. They're all top imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses who are in charge of one area. Under the chiefs, there are more than ten regional chiefs. All of them have imperial-level purple gold-rank combat strength. Including the regional deputy chiefs, there are at least three to five imperial-level purple gold-rank powerhouses managing each area. If there's a troublemaker in any area, he'll be reported and killed before he goes crazy. He'll be turned into food. Everyone's happy to report such people because the person who reports them gets to eat. "
"There are chiefs and regional chiefs. The regional chiefs manage the areas and there's a reporting system …" Lin Huang was a little speechless. The convicts here had already built a simple society.
"Do you guys have a map of this prison and a population distribution map?" Lin Huang asked again.
"I don't, but the regional chiefs and chiefs should have them."
"Then, you should know the map and population distribution around this area, right?"
"Basically, I know everyone within 300 to 400 kilometers." The tall man nodded.
"I've read all the information," Bloody took over the conversation.
"Alright then, that's all for my questioning." Lin Huang nodded at Bloody.
He turned around. Just when he took two to three steps out, the tall man's head exploded directly. He turned into a headless corpse and fell onto the ground.
Bloody extended its tentacles into the two corpses and soon found two communication talismans.
"There are some Emperor's Heart Rings and ancient relics in their residence. Do you want to search for them?"
"Of course, they're our loot!" Lin Huang said in a matter-of-fact manner.
