Chapter 241 Urgency
Cheng Zheng suddenly drew his sword.
Luo Huayi, who was behind Huo Fenglin, simultaneously released her pressure.
Huo Fenglin's eyes completely lost focus, and he fell heavily backward at Luo Huayi's feet.
He ignored the already stiffened consciousness at his feet and coldly looked at Cheng Zheng, who turned and walked towards the Four Kings.
From the moment Luo Huayi learned that Cheng Zheng was Xin Que's spy planted beside him, all trust in Cheng Zheng vanished, leaving only hatred for being betrayed and schemed against.
If it weren't for Xin Que...
Luo Huayi looked away.
Having shed his disguise, Cheng Zheng didn't care what Luo Huayi's true feelings were towards him.
He only cares whether the plan can be completed step by step.
"The one who controls access to the interrogation plan is the Tenth King of the Wheel."
Cheng Zheng said coldly, "Luo Huayi, you are different from us. You are a creation of the interrogation scheme from beginning to end. If you want to completely sever the connection with the interrogation scheme and leave here safely, you can only cooperate with me to seize the authority of the Wheel King."
The thorns at Luo Huayi's feet had already dragged Huo Fenglin's conscious form into the shadows and imprisoned it.
“I know.” Luo Huayi watched as King Pingdeng and King Song Di gradually regained their mobility, and the data in his hand reassembled into a spear.
"Xin Que... is everything going well outside?"
Cheng Zheng did not answer the question.
He couldn't answer.
...
Xin Que stood in front of the floating screen once again.
“Warden,” the engineer said with a worried expression, “the administrator system is back to normal, but for some reason, it can’t connect.”
“The malfunction is actually a good thing for the prison,” Xin Que said calmly.
Regardless of whether Cheng Zheng successfully met with Luo Huayi, her plans could not be halted.
“Wen Jingchen,” Lin Ying stood in front of Xin Que once again, gloating, “there are still two days until the boss’s deadline, and it seems you haven’t made any progress yet.”
"Don't forget those miniature bombs you're carrying..."
Xin Que's face remained expressionless. She gave Lin Ying a cold look and said, "You don't think you can get away with this after I fail my mission, do you?"
Lin Ying was taken aback.
"We're in the same boat, and it won't do you any good to be a bully within your own group."
Xin Que said coldly, "Instead of wasting time making sarcastic remarks here, you should interrogate Feng Caijun and try to get evidence from him of what Huo Fenglin did."
Lin Ying held his breath and finally slammed the door and left.
"Move Huo Fenglin to the monitoring room near Xin Que and give them medical treatment to maintain their vital signs," Xin Que instructed the supervision department. "The administrator system has not been restored yet, and we must prevent any possible accidents."
“Okay.” The head of the medical department didn’t suspect anything. “Then what level of medical treatment will we use?”
Xin Que replied naturally, "Use whatever you have. Prioritize completing the mission. Don't worry about the cost."
After saying that, she left without looking back.
Huo Fenglin's uncle is still waiting outside the prison for Wen Jingchen's success.
Her priority now is to stall that person while continuing to escalate the conflict between Huo Fenglin and the Huo family.
You can only catch fish in troubled waters.
"Lin Ying".
Xin Que stood in front of the office where Feng Caijun was being held, gesturing for Lin Ying to come out.
Lin Ying stood in front of her with an impatient look on his face. "What is it?"
"Tell the boss I have new progress." Xin Que looked Lin Ying straight in the eye, her voice calm.
Lin Ying looked at Xin Que with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
...
Having lost their protector, the four kings are teetering on the brink of going out of control.
"Just how angry do we have to be?!"
Luo Huayi gritted her teeth and roared at Cheng Zheng, who was standing to the side.
"Wait a little longer..." Cheng Zheng stared intently at the sky stained red by hell, "Why hasn't the administrator shown up yet?"
What Xin Que could do from the outside was to sever the connection between the administrator system and the outside world, so that nothing that happened in the interrogation plan could be spied on.
But the rest they have to do on their own.
The four tall and majestic statues, each with a different angry expression, occupied a corner of the sky. Looking up, they almost filled their entire field of vision. The two people were as small as ants in front of the statues. The indescribable shock made them feel fear from the bottom of their hearts and involuntarily submit.
Luo Huayi broke out in a cold sweat.
The limited authority he possessed, inherited from King Biancheng and King Wuguan, was utterly insignificant compared to the four kings whose authority over Hell was fully unleashed.
"Where exactly is the administrator hiding...?" Cheng Zheng frantically searched the entire system, but he couldn't find any trace of the administrator.
"Luo Huayi!" After a moment's thought, Cheng Zheng decided to take the risk and "try angering Yama!"
Yama, the King of Hell, and the Wheel-Turning King have the authority of the two closest to the administrator among the Ten Kings of Hell.
They haven't even seen the face of King Yama yet, so they can only try attacking Yama, who is visible to the naked eye.
Luo Huayi cursed.
Is this something that can be solved by just trying?
But the current situation leaves them no time to hesitate.
The thorn forest swiftly bypassed the attacks of the four AIs in charge and sped towards Yama, the King of Hell, and the Great Hell of Howling, which he governs.
Countless bronze snakes and iron dogs in the Great Hell, devouring the hearts of sinners, let out terrifying cries that shattered the very soul, roaring as they charged toward Luo Huayi's black iron thorns.
The hell ruled by King Pingdeng, King Chujiang, and King Songdi immediately crashed down on the arrogant and ignorant Luo Huayi.
There is almost no suspense about who is stronger or weaker.
Cheng Zheng stared intently at the sky behind Yama.
As the thorny thicket that had grown wildly into the sky was completely crushed, the giant mechanical eye finally gradually emerged from the blood-red sky.
Cheng Zheng's eyes lit up.
...
“Sir,” Xin Que stood respectfully outside the man’s guard once again, “Lin Ying has extracted some information that may be helpful to your career.”
Lin Ying was somewhat surprised.
Wen Jingchen not only didn't steal his credit, but even attributed all the credit to Lin Ying in front of the men.
The man's expression didn't change when he saw that it was Feng Caijun's confession.
"What on earth are you up to?" Lin Ying strode to Xin Que's side and lowered his voice, "Don't think I'll be grateful to you for this!"
Xin Que's voice was calm and steady, "Your current status in his eyes is higher than mine... It's just that I'd rather have another partner than offend someone. Whether you're willing to accept this favor is your own choice."
Lin Ying gave Xin Que a deep look.
After a moment, he chuckled dismissively, "You're smart to know what's good for you."
Seeing that his attitude had softened, Xin Que smiled at him and said, "I will share all my progress with you without reservation. As long as you don't try to kill me, your down-on-his-luck boss, when you become a high-ranking official, I will be extremely grateful."
Lin Ying relaxed his pace a bit.
"Future Warden Lin, would you do me the honor of having dinner together tonight?" Xin Que smiled even more warmly. "My treat. We can also discuss how to pry the boss out of Xin Que what he wants."
