Is this what a zombie is?

28. He is blind.

That sorcerer had been lying low in prison for many years, and his purpose was not simply to create a ghost king. He could have done it outside too.

So, his purpose is the Resurrection Incense?

If that's also the other party's goal, then things get complicated.

Jiang Chen shared his guess with Cat Master, who agreed with it, but its idea was even more straightforward.

"Even if his goal wasn't the Soul-Returning Incense, and even if he had no connection to organ trafficking organizations, the fact that you severely damaged the vengeful spirit he painstakingly created means there's no way you can resolve this peacefully."

Cat Master's words were quite straightforward, and that's true.

Ninety-nine percent of black magic is insidious and malicious; if it had even a shred of goodness, it wouldn't be so infamous.

Sorcerers are all evil practitioners who harm others for their own benefit. Please, they all practice sorcery and deal with a bunch of non-human, strange things all day long.

Can you still expect them to be kind-hearted men and women, virtuous people, or pure white lotuses?

Even if someone isn't inherently bad at first, constant contact with poisonous insects, snakes, ants, corpses, and a whole host of other things written down would be impossible to pass the review process.

Over the years, even the whitest skin will eventually turn black. If you don't develop psychological distortions, then you have a strong mental fortitude.

If someone still has some principles and bottom line in their actions, then they can be considered a moral exemplar.

"Why would that sorcerer keep a vengeful cat spirit as a pet?"

"It's the same principle as your human societies having top-tier enforcers and henchmen. Someone has to do the dirty work; the boss can't do everything himself."

"He is raising a ghost king, not a little ghost. It will take at least seven times seven years for it to reach its full potential, which will take a very long time."

"So in this prison, every now and then a prisoner dies mysteriously, becoming nourishment for the ghosts."

"Master Cat, you seem to know this place... very well?"

Jiang Chen suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"It doesn't feel like my first time here at all."

"This is not my first time here."

Cat Master readily admitted it, and upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately understood, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Cat Master knew the origins of Blackstone Prison, knew that the Resurrection Incense was located here, and knew that ordinary methods were simply insufficient to obtain it.

The giant cat vengeful spirit knew about the sorcerer's practice of raising ghosts.

All these signs indicate one thing: Cat Master came to scout the location in advance, and more than once.

This old monster says he doesn't care, but his actions speak louder than words.

Seemingly sensing Jiang Chen's thoughts, Cat Lord instantly bristled, abruptly turning its head away and facing the back of its head at Jiang Chen.

"Stop trying to glorify yourself. I didn't come here for you."

Looking at the back of Cat's head, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh; its attitude only confirmed Jiang Chen's guess.

I understand, that's just how they are, being aloof and proud.

He saw through it but didn't say anything; he had to save face for it.

They're both cats, but Cat Master is definitely cuter. Jiang Chen couldn't resist wanting to touch Cat Master's smooth head.

His hand reached out, but stopped in mid-air.

Although the cat is affectionate towards me, it has never allowed me to have any physical contact with it.

You can't pet or hug the cat; it resists.

Jiang Chen didn't know why, but he respected Cat Master's wishes.

Perhaps this has something to do with what happened a hundred years ago.

Jiang Chen silently recharged his batteries, but his thoughts drifted far away, and he began to daydream.

It wasn't until nearly 5 a.m. that the charging was completed.

As dawn breaks, it will be time to eat breakfast soon.

Fully charged and brimming with energy, Jiang Chen decided to take advantage of this little bit of time to do something else.

"Master Cat, do you know where that sorcerer is?"

"You're not thinking of going to see that sorcerer, are you?!"

Cat Master immediately guessed Jiang Chen's thoughts; this guy was a bit too young and fearless.

No, it's more like a case of ignorance is bliss.

It is precisely because they do not know how strong the other party is, and do not know the gap between the two sides, that they dare to launch a challenge.

But Jiang Chen wasn't such a reckless man. He made this decision after careful consideration and with a certain degree of confidence.

"The other side certainly wouldn't expect that I would dare to come to their door. As long as I strike first and use the Lightning Dragon technique to launch a powerful attack with overwhelming force, I think I still have a certain chance of winning."

A hint of admiration flashed in Cat Master's eyes. This kid's growth rate was indeed astonishing, and he dared to think and act.

"That's a good idea," Cat Master flicked his tail. "And you might actually be able to make it happen, catching him completely off guard. Do you know why?"

Jiang Chen thought about it very seriously, but couldn't figure out why, so he humbly asked for an explanation.

"I don't know, please enlighten me, Master Cat."

Jiang Chen's attitude pleased Cat Master, who squinted his eyes in comfort, as if being stroked.

"Because black magic is extremely insidious, it was developed either to kill or to control people, making their lives worse than death, forcing them to obey. At least half of black magic is designed to kill, commonly known as death curse."

"And I am already dead, and my current state is not entirely that of a living person."

Jiang Chen instantly understood what his greatest advantage was: being between life and death.

Having repeatedly jumped back and forth in the Book of Life and Death of the King of Hell, he fears nothing less than death by annihilation.

"So theoretically speaking, the sorcerer's curse is ineffective against me; I can exploit a bug."

"Yes, but black magic also has the ability to control corpses, so you still have to be careful."

"clear!"

"But the biggest problem now is that I don't know where that sorcerer is."

Jiang Chen: ◔‸◔?

"Don't look at me like that. Everyone in this prison is a vicious criminal, and the negative energy surrounding them is more intense than the last."

"The sorcerer is hiding among them, like a drop of ink in an inkwell. As long as he doesn't use sorcery, he's just like an ordinary person."

Finding him will be as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

"Therefore, we need a local strongman."

"Local bigwig, Cat Master, you even have this kind of channel?"

"I've already told you, I didn't come to this prison entirely for you."

"Okay, so which gang leader is this local tyrant?"

Cat Master shook his head, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"He's not some gang leader, he's just... a blind man."

"A blind man?" Jiang Chen was taken aback. "A fortune teller?"

"No, he used to be a lawyer."

lawyer!!!

This answer was even more surprising than the fortune teller's.

The combination of a blind lawyer and a prison for hardened criminals creates a dramatic effect.

Got it, this is Daredevil!
