With a sigh.
Sun Jianyun added,
"However, it's not as if we know nothing about the Fengmen Zombie. At least we know he was brought out from the Dragon-Binding Well. And based on the age of the Dragon-Binding Well, and the situation of the eyewitnesses when the Fengmen Zombie was brought out, we can confirm that the Fengmen Zombie is not a modern person, but at least someone from several hundred years ago."
"As for how many years ago specifically, that remains unknown. I believe only the Senluo Division, besides the Fengmen Zombie himself, knows his background."
"After all, it was the Senluo Division that brought him out, right?"
This last statement was made by Zhang Wei.
As he spoke, he looked at the Fengmen Zombie's face through the cell window. No one knew what he was thinking.
Sun Jianyun nodded:
"Yes, and not just because the Senluo Division brought him out from the Dragon-Binding Well. The most important point is that when the Fengmen Zombie was brought out, he was wearing clothes, not naked. Although after centuries, the clothes would surely have corroded, if there were clothes, at least we could infer the year from them."
As he finished speaking.
He didn't notice Zhang Wei's eyebrows twitch.
Although Zhang Wei, from the Fengmen Zombie's battlefield memories, didn't see the Fengmen Zombie's attire as it was from his perspective, he clearly saw the clothing of those around him. And remember, those were not decayed; they were the clothing of that era, on the spot.
However.
Zhang Wei didn't tell Sun Jianyun about the clothes. He couldn't possibly tell the other party that he had mind-reading abilities, that he could even glimpse visualized thoughts.
"I need to find an opportunity to sketch those clothes and ask someone what era they are from."
Thinking to himself.
Zhang Wei continued:
"Warden Sun, if we can't identify the Fengmen Zombie, why not start with the Dragon-Binding Well? Since he was thrown into the Dragon-Binding Well, he must have some connection to it, right?"
Sun Jianyun shook his head:
"We did consider that. However, the Fengmen Zombie being thrown into the Dragon-Binding Well doesn't necessarily mean he's connected to it. After all, the Dragon-Binding Well is also very old, and tracing back even further, it's much older. And it's not impossible that the Fengmen Zombie fell into the well and died himself."
"The Dragon-Binding Well is covered now, but it wasn't before. According to records, many people have fallen into the Dragon-Binding Well. The most important point is... actually, we don't know the origin of the Dragon-Binding Well either. The era is too distant, and with the changes of dynasties, much of the information has been lost."
"The only thing we know is... never mind, it's fine to tell you. Although it's classified, the secret isn't strictly forbidden to disclose. What do you say, Zhang Wei, do you want to know? You can trade it for ghost king corpses! Just two ghost king corpses will do."
Zhang Wei was taken aback. Looking at the smile on Sun Jianyun's old face, he felt a mix of amusement and helplessness.
This old Mr. Sun seemed to be a money-grubber. But if he wanted to know, he wouldn't necessarily have to pay with two ghost king corpses.
The next second.
With a thought, Zhang Wei activated Anya's skill on Sun Jianyun.
"Warden Sun, aren't two ghost king corpses a bit too expensive? It's just a well, it shouldn't be that costly, should it? You can't possibly be deceiving this young and helpless child, can you?"
Sun Jianyun's mouth twitched.
[You call yourself young and helpless? Have you ever seen a child kill ghost kings? And not just kill them, but physically vanquish them with explosive force? Oh, wait, there was Nezha.]
Muttering to himself.
Sun Jianyun said outwardly:
"Two ghost king corpses are not expensive. Think about it, it's the Dragon-Binding Well, ancient. And the Fengmen Zombie was brought out from there. Clearly, it's more than just a well. Just the age, and the legends of the Dragon-Binding Well, this level of mystery is worth two ghost king corpses, don't you think?"
[The secret of the Dragon-Binding Well, while not entirely forbidden to disclose, isn't something everyone can obtain. But just the remaining secret, 'The Dragon-Binding Well must absolutely not be reopened,' this one phrase, which would be passed down by every dynasty despite the changes, is absolutely worth two ghost kings.]
This thought entered his mind.
Zhang Wei couldn't help but be stunned. This was the current secret of the Dragon-Binding Well? No wonder Xiao Xue and Zhang Chao had said that the Dragon-Binding Well was always guarded. It was for this reason.
Then Zhang Wei replied:
"Indeed, these alone are worth 2 ghost king corpses."
As soon as he said this.
Sun Jianyun immediately stroked his beard with a smile and said,
"See? So, are you trading for the information?"
"No trade, it's too expensive."
"????"
Sun Jianyun's smile froze instantly. His hand remained in the gesture of stroking his beard, as if he thought he had misheard:
"No trade? Are you sure? Zhang Wei, don't you want to know the secret of the Dragon-Binding Well? Don't you know the legends of the Dragon-Binding Well?"
"I do."
Zhang Wei recounted what he knew about the Dragon-Binding Well scaring away foreign invaders of that era.
[This is bizarre. Is Zhang Wei this composed? They say young people nowadays are very gossipy, but why is Zhang Wei so mature? Is Zhang Wei's curiosity this indifferent?]
Sun Jianyun muttered inwardly.
He had considered whether Zhang Wei already knew, but quickly dismissed it. Few people knew the secrets of the Dragon-Binding Well. Currently, only some high-ranking officials of the Guarding Department and high-ranking officials of major powers friendly with the Guarding Department knew.
As he was thinking.
Zhang Wei ignored Sun Jianyun's thoughts. After learning the secret of the Dragon-Binding Well, he continued to use Anya's skill on the Fengmen Zombie, observing him from over there.
He stared so intently that the Fengmen Zombie became quite uncomfortable, feeling as if his inner thoughts were being completely exposed.
It was at this moment.
The Fengmen Zombie finally spoke:
"Little brat, have you seen enough? Do you think I'm an exhibit?"
[Ding! Fengmen Zombie is displeased. Who is this little brat? He shouldn't be from the Guarding Department. Then how can he enter the fourth underground level? Sun Jianyun's illegitimate grandson?]
[Host gains System Points +230]
As the system prompt sounded.
Zhang Wei grinned:
"Quite hot-tempered, aren't we?"
Before he finished speaking.
Zhang Wei, ignoring the murderous gaze of the Fengmen Zombie, asked Sun Jianyun,
"Warden Sun, I see other prisoners aren't tied up this tightly. Why is he bound like this? Does he have a masochistic fetish?"
[Ding! Fengmen Zombie... You're still insulting me!]
[Host gains System Points +230]
"Haha, not at all. It's just that this cell is special. It's made with special materials and formations, which can prevent anyone or any ghost from releasing any ghost-exorcising techniques or ghost arts. Here, all prisoners, human or ghost, are no different from ordinary people. However, as you know, zombies themselves have strong physiques."
"Their physical strength is difficult to restrain. To prevent the Fengmen Zombie from causing destruction with his physical power, we've bound and suppressed his entire body."
Sun Jianyun said with a smile and instructed his subordinate to open the cell:
"Let's not just stand here and watch. I'll open the cell for you to get up close and personal with the Fengmen Zombie. Zhang Wei, I remember you fought the Iron Coffin Zombie, right? Actually, the Fengmen Zombie is of the same type."
