But Chen Jingren took out the exquisite silver dagger, and Jeff recognized it at a glance as belonging to the city lord Adrian.
Because in the past, the city lord had given him a silver sword similar to the one in front of him when he commended him for his contribution.
I never thought that the guy in front of me would receive such an honor. Is it possible that he is really performing some secret mission?
But if there was such a famous person in Lille, it would be impossible for him not to know about it.
"What the hell is going on? Both Bryant and the city lord actually gave him such high standards of treatment. If he stabbed himself as he said, I can't explain it to the city lord."
Seeing that this guy's posture was not pretending at all, he actually stabbed his arm.
"Stop!"
Jeff chose to stop Chen Jingren when he was about to stab him.
Since the opponent stopped Chen Jingren from stabbing him further, he knew that he had won the bet again.
"What's wrong? Captain Jeff, why did you stop me? Is it possible that you are willing to believe me?"
Captain Jeff looked at him. Although he still didn't want to believe it, this guy's background was too complicated.
"You just said that this silver dagger was given to you by the city lord? When did this happen?"
Chen Jingren saw that the other party was actually concerned about this. Could it be that the reason why he stopped him was the dagger given by the city lord.
I thought they were a group of adventurers who went their own way, and they seemed very scrupulous.
"Yes, this dagger was given to me by the city lord some time ago. Is it possible, Captain Jeff, that you have taken a liking to this sword? If you had told me earlier, I would have given it to you."
He couldn't help but get angry when he heard that the other party actually slandered him for trying to steal the sword and thinking that he was a robber.
"Haha... That sword is a reward from the city lord to reward those who have contributed to the city of Lille. How could I win people's love? Besides, I also have a short sword like this."
Chen Jingren heard that Jeff actually had one and also knew the origin of the gift sword. Thinking about it, that was why he stopped Chen Jingren. Chen Jingren was still a little scared when he thought about it.
If he had refused at that time, it might be all over now.
Jeff stared at the silver dagger for a while, and then said: "But I have never heard of people like you before, let alone seen them. I don't know what extraordinary things you have done in the past. , can you tell me something?"
"Want to get to know me? How can I let you do that?" When Chen Jingren learned that Jeff no longer dared to do anything to him, he knew how to deal with him.
"Sorry Captain Jeff, this is confidential."
"Can't we take credit even for merit?"
"Any information about me is confidential, because I have a confidential mission. If I were you, I wouldn't want a guy who performs a top-secret mission to be lax in his speech. What do you think?"
Chen Jingren blocked his mouth directly. These NPCs always had so many problems and were even more difficult to deal with than humans.
Jeff had no choice but to stop asking about Chen Jingren.
Instead, he asked: "Then your route should be from the city of Lille. Where are you going so early in the morning?"
"I'm sorry, this is also confidential. If I can't say it, I just can't say it. Please forgive me."
The other adventurer team members were furious when they saw Chen Jingren being so arrogant.
"You can't say this, and you can't say that. Since you are wearing a zombie's skin, you must be going to the zombie's territory, right?"
"Yes, I see that you are not a guy who performs secret missions for the city lord at all, but a traitor from the beginning."
"Captain, let's take him directly and send him to the city lord for him to make a decision!"
"That's right! Whether it's true or not will be clear by then. Even if he is really performing a secret mission. Then we can just apologize to him when the time comes."
The four of them said something to each other, but their words were like a sledgehammer hitting Chen Jingren's chest.
He didn't expect that the prophet's carriage and the city lord's dagger alone could not frighten this group of people. He was truly a foolhardy adventurer.
It would be okay if he really took himself back. After all, the city lord knew the cause and effect and would prove it to himself.
But now there are more than 30 seconds left, and the other party won't let him go or give him an explanation.
If the system leaves like this, it means that he will definitely be taken back by them.
The ending of this branch plot is called "Spending Life Behind Bars", which means that the rest of his life will definitely be spent in prison.
Captain Jeff happened to start thinking at this time. This group of NPCs seemed to deliberately mess with people's mentality and always started thinking at the last moment.
There are still 20 seconds left...
"I said Captain Jeff, since I have proven that I am not a zombie, either let me go or take me back. Please give me an explanation quickly."
There are still 10 seconds left...
Captain Jeff remained silent.
…
Chen Jingren was going crazy. He wanted to open this guy's mouth and let him give an answer.
This time is coming soon, which means that if he doesn't give an answer in the end, he will definitely take him away regardless.
And something strange must have happened after he was taken away, so the city lord and Bryant couldn't save him.
Chen Jingren kept urging but Jeff still refused to speak. Chen Jingren only felt that he was finished. He did not expect that he would soon spend his time in a dark prison as soon as he saw the sunshine.
There are five seconds left...
Chen Jingren had no choice but to make a last ditch effort. He had to escape.
Even if his body was exhausted at the moment, his only chance of survival was to get on his horse, run away from them and hide in the woods.
But the biggest problem is that he can't ride a horse.
There are three seconds left...
The fateful moment has arrived.
"I won't do anything to you."
Captain Jeff finally gave the answer, and after he finished speaking, the countdown stopped with 1 second left.
The task box that triggered the plot to survive behind bars has also disappeared.
Again, at the last second, a miracle happened.
With the confirmation of Captain Jeff, Chen Jingren once again passed the crisis.
Captain Jeff continued: "I don't believe you, I believe the city lord and the prophet. I believe they must have their reasons for doing such things."
"In that case, we've been delayed here for too long, can you let us go?"
Captain Jeff no longer had the need to intercept them at this moment, so he nodded in relief.
He said to Tiote: "I will personally explain to Bryant what happened today. I am so offended."
Tiote also quickly expressed that he didn't care, and Chen Jingren had the same idea.
After a storm in the early morning, Captain Jeff and the others were finally released.
Chen Jingren walked towards the carriage with Tiote's support, and passed the adventurer Miles on the road.
The guy didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he failed to hold the bottle containing the holy water firmly and let the holy water inside spill out.
It didn't matter if it spilled, but it still spilled on Chen Jingren.
Although Chen Jingren's physique has been transformed and is no longer afraid of the sun, the holy water used to exorcise demons will still have an effect.
Chen Jingren couldn't help crying out in pain, but he immediately endured it after realizing that he had lost his temper.
And this episode also alarmed others.
Miles apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, I didn't hold the holy water securely and let it escape. Are you okay?"
Chen Jingren saw that he was injured, and he was injured by the holy water.
It's not a good idea to be busy. I managed to pass the test with great difficulty, but I didn't expect that this guy would be tricked at the last moment.
If the other party finds that he is injured, he will definitely know that he is a zombie. Because holy water has no effect on ordinary people, it only has an effect on such undead creatures.
Then no matter how hard he tries to explain, it won't work to save anyone's face.
The whisper of death sounded in his ears again, and the imminent danger came to his head again.
After Captain Jeff and the others discovered the abnormality, they also turned around and came over.
I saw Chen Jingren covering his right hand tightly, as if he had been hurt a lot.
This sudden change also made Jeff, this guy, suspicious again.
"It seems like there is something wrong with this guy. You can tell just by opening his right hand. If that's the case, we can't let him go so easily."
Captain Jeff asked with a kind face: "Mr. Victor, what's wrong with your right hand? Let me take a look. I have healing medicine here. Just apply it and it will be fine."
Chen Jingren's face was full of pain. Although he was trying his best to disguise it, for an adventurer who had experienced life and death, it was easy to tell the truth from the lie.
"It's okay. I was frightened just now and accidentally hit my wrist. It's okay. It'll be fine in a while. You can go and do your work and don't worry about me."
Seeing that Chen Jingren wanted to refuse, Jeff gave a signal and everyone secretly held their weapons and prepared to take action.
"It turns out that I sprained my wrist. That'll be easy. I'll just apply some medicine for the bruise."
After saying that, he forcibly grabbed Chen Jingren's left hand and then moved his hand away.
In this way, the right hand that was no longer covered appeared in front of everyone.
Just when the adventurers were about to take action, an unexpected result appeared in front of them.
I saw that Chen Jingren's right hand was intact, with no scars or signs of injury.
Jeff couldn't believe what he saw in front of him. They all knew that when the holy water was poured on Chen Jingren, the guy screamed out in pain.
As experts who have spent most of their lives fighting zombies, they know exactly what this cry means.
Chen Jingren should have been seriously injured, how could he be unscathed?
This guy must have done something to trick our glasses.
Jeff didn't believe in evil, so he rolled up the sleeve of Chen Jingren's right hand, and his arm appeared completely in front of everyone.
Jeff looked up and down and found that there were still no wounds.
"How is this possible? It can't be that I heard it wrong. Even if I heard it wrong, did everyone hear it wrong?"
Chen Jingren was a little curious and didn't know what Jeff wanted to do.
He reminded with a painful look on his face: "Captain Jeff, what are you looking for? It's the wrist. Aren't you going to give me medicine?"
