My father has the appearance of an emperor

Chapter 124 Iron Maiden

This is the first time since entering the Chaos Realm that Jiang Chen has a moment to relax during the mission.

All the previous missions were spent in tension and thrill, only this time, they had free time of their own.

Floating in the clouds, feeling the beautiful moisture and warmth, Jiang Chen's heart was dancing.

At this moment, it seems that nothing matters anymore.

He fell into a deep sleep, nestled in Vivian's arms, like a child.

I don’t know how much time passed, but Jiang Chen finally opened his eyes.

Looking at the soft girl who was still sleeping soundly under him, Jiang Chen smiled.

Then his smile faded.

wrong!

Why is it so quiet around here?
At this moment, the boat was completely silent and desolate.

The sound of the raging waves disappeared, the rustling of the sails disappeared, the sound of the strong wind disappeared, and even the noise of the people taking the precepts on the boat disappeared.

There was silence all around, and it felt like entering a realm of silence.

Jiang Chen slowly stood up and put on his clothes.

Placing his hand on the bronze handle on the door, Jiang Chen pushed it carefully.

With a creaking sound, the door opened.

The scene before him shocked Jiang Chen.

He saw streams of light surging everywhere around the ship, and he could not see the sea or any human figures.

Standing on the deck, he felt a desolate scene all around him, as if he was the only one left on the entire ship.

What about the rest?

Where did it go?

And what is this alternating flow of light and dark?
Or maybe I was trapped in some kind of illusion.

He turned around suddenly and saw that Vivian on the bed had disappeared.

Everything seemed like a dream, Jiang Chen didn't even know when it started.

Maybe everything before that was just a dream and never really happened?
Jiang Chen tilted his head and smiled: "Interesting."

Then he closed the door and walked towards the cockpit.

In the cockpit, Captain Laurent was also missing.

But the rudder kept moving, as if an invisible hand was steering the ship.

However, even if Jiang Chen used the Netherworld Perception, he could not sense any existence.

This made him even more surprised.

So, everything that is happening now should be the second half of the mission?
After solving the problems of sea monsters and split ships, what about the troubles coming from the ship itself?
Is it an over-limit task?
If it's an over-limit mission, it means that even if I do nothing now, the ship will still reach the Land of Chaos...

It can be basically confirmed that I am now in a fantasy world.

Only illusions will not affect reality!
By analyzing the task, Jiang Chen quickly determined his current situation.

The question now is, where does the illusion come from? Does it affect only me, or does it affect everyone on the ship? Is it related to the secret door in the bottom cabin?

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen turned on the light and walked towards the bottom cabin.

Walk through the cabin corridor and come to the passage leading to the lower cabin.

There was no strange sound when stepping on the wooden stairs.

For this reason, Jiang Chen deliberately stomped his feet a few times, but there was still no sound.

"It's a bit shoddy." Jiang Chen sighed.

This broken illusion is so fake that it's a bit outrageous. Even without any mission reference for analysis, one can still sense the problem.

This made Jiang Chen hesitate again: Could there be other factors? Or am I overthinking?

As he was thinking, he entered the lower cabin and came to the bottom. The bottom of the cabin was a cargo hold, where there were a lot of messy things, ropes, barrels, and discarded shells, in addition to some smelly salted fish and hard cheese.

What surprised Jiang Chen was the secret door.

It's open.

A gap opened.

Jiang Chen picked up the oil lamp and gently pushed open the door. In the dim light, he could see the situation in the room.

There was only a simple wooden table in the room, and next to it stood an iron cabinet as tall as a person. On top of the cabinet was a female head. The center of the cabinet door could be opened, and there were a lot of holes on the door.

Iron Maiden!
A medieval European torture device.

At this time, the Iron Maiden was slightly open, indicating that the existence inside had come out.

"So... you ran out by yourself? How did you do it?" Jiang Chen murmured.

At this moment, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.

The crisis coming from behind made Jiang Chen feel terrified.

He activated his ghost form immediately, but found that he could not enter.

Jiang Chen's pupils widened. He slowly turned around and used the oil lamp in his hand to illuminate the back, but found that there was nothing behind him.

But that chill still existed behind him, as if a shadow was following him and moving with him.

Jiang Chen looked down.

Fortunately, he could at least see the shadow.

The light from the oil lamp should have pulled his figure forward, but now his shadow appeared behind him, floating strangely behind his neck.

That's not his shadow.

Feeling this existence, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed.

"Why don't you do it yet? Are you afraid of me?"

no respond.

Jiang Chen slowly turned around and walked into the room behind the secret door.

The door creaked.

The door was closed.

Jiang Chen didn't care. He just put the oil lamp aside and looked at the Iron Maiden in front of him leisurely.

This torture instrument is one of the most terrifying ones in the ignorant age. Its countless holes can be cut like a large number of spikes and sharp blades to cut the person inside into pieces.

And in Jiang Chen's eyes at this moment, the interior of the torture device was also covered with mottled traces of flesh and blood, representing its former glorious history.

Jiang Chen murmured, "I know you are afraid of me! The system tasks of the Chaos Realm have their own fixed difficulty. As long as your strength exceeds this difficulty, many problems can be easily solved. You are a ghost, and you were supposed to restrain the people on this boat, but you didn't expect me... You know I can restrain weirdness, so you are afraid of me! But here is the interesting question, since you are afraid of me, why do you still come out to deal with me? And why do you know that I restrain ghosts? After all, you didn't come out before!"

A cold wind howled in the room, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill.

Are you angry?
Or something else?

Jiang Chen sneered: "I'm telling you, if you don't make a move, I'm going to make a move."

boom!
The Iron Maiden's cabinet suddenly opened completely.

At this moment, it seemed to come alive and rushed towards Jiang Chenzhao.

Jiang Chen found that he was unable to avoid the Iron Maiden's cover. At that moment, his pupils dilated and everything in front of him was dark.

He was not dead, but was covered by the Iron Maiden. The cabinet door closed in an instant. At the same time, countless sharp blades pierced Jiang Chen's body from the holes.

Jiang Chen knocked on the door hard, but found that he could not open it. He felt as if his body was being torn apart.

Just when the sharp blades were about to pierce him completely, Jiang Chen had already entered the ghost form.

Inside the cabinet, countless sharp blades thrust back and forth, making a creaking sound, and continuously pierced through his misty body...
