"Is he...dead?"

The black mist suddenly reappeared in their cell.

The man in the black robe seemed to have no trace of life; when he approached, you couldn't even hear him breathing.

The six people were shocked by what they had just witnessed and instinctively shrank back.

Suddenly, he thought that dying like this would save him from suffering.

They exchanged a glance, then closed their eyes, tilted their heads back, and awaited the final moment.

The next moment, a hoarse female voice came from beneath the black robe.

"I'll take you away."

The group opened their eyes again.

Someone asked in surprise, "Who are you? Why did you save us?"

A small hand emerged from beneath the black robe, its fingertips hooking a cyan token.

"Xiao Jiuhe sent me."

The group recognized the character "crane" on the token and were overjoyed.

"General Xiao is not dead!"

Without another word, the man in black robes stepped into the black mist.

The others helped him to his feet and followed him inside.

As the last person stepped in, the black mist rift closed, like a door shut.

Finally, it disappeared.

After an incense stick has burned,

Liu Ruzhi arrived in a hurry with a group of constables.

"How come you've lost another prisoner? What are you all good for?"

"Who was lost? How many were lost!"

He hurriedly went inside and saw that the cell was empty.

He was so angry that he almost choked to death.

They grabbed the jailer and started hitting him on the head.

"Six people! There were six people locked up here, not one left. Who has the ability to move six people out right under your noses! Did you all drink and fall asleep again? Tell me!"

The jailer was also very aggrieved.

"My lord, really no. The capital has been unstable lately. I know the seriousness of the matter. My brothers and I have absolutely not touched a drop of alcohol. We really didn't see anyone come in. We only found out that the person was gone when we were on our routine patrol. Moreover, the two women in the next cell were also dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ruyan and Cuiya suddenly opened their eyes, gasped for breath, and sat up straight.
