The pitch-black deep sea is cold and oppressive, with turbulent undercurrents.
The hidden prison is dark and insane, like falling into hell.
The once cold and quiet metal passageway has now become a living hell.
The prisoners screamed and roared like a horde of demons unleashed from hell.
Lacking firearms, they wielded homemade weapons—iron bars, blades, or even dismantled bolts—or were bare-handed, their eyes filled with madness.
They fought each other, attacked guards, and caused widespread destruction.
Blood was drawn quickly, and corpses fell to the ground with a thud, their bodies a gruesome sight.
This is what Xiao Wujie and his team saw when they opened Luo Yilan's computer and viewed the footage through the monitor.
Just a minute ago, they heard a tremendous riot coming from below, and when they checked the surveillance footage, this was what they saw.
What's going on?
Why are all the cell doors open?
Leng Ruxue stared wide-eyed at the scene on the monitor, her face filled with disbelief.
"The prison's door lock system has been hacked..."
Chu Liyue unconsciously hugged Xiao Wujie tighter, her gaze chillingly cold, and her voice icy.
"Ah Lan is still outside..."
Xiao Shuihan's eyes suddenly widened in panic, and he instantly stood up, about to rush outside.
"Uncle, don't panic. Uncle Lu and Yunmo are very reliable. They won't let anything happen to Auntie."
Leng Ruxue reacted quickly, grabbing Xiao Shuihan's sleeve and stopping him.
"They haven't come back yet, I'm going to pick them up!"
As soon as Xiao Shuihan finished speaking, the air in front of him distorted, and Luo Yilan, Lu Zhufeng, and Yun Mo appeared in the room.
The moment Luo Yilan returned, Xiao Shuihan stepped forward and put his hand on her shoulder, his eyes scanning her up and down nervously.
"Ah Lan, are you alright?"
Luo Yilan shook her head. Xiao Shuihan, confirming that she was alright, hugged her tightly.
"You shouldn't have gone alone."
“Your son warned you that there might be a problem, but you still wouldn’t listen.”
"What will my son and I do if something happens to you?"
He lowered his head, pressed his face against Luo Yilan's shoulder, and rubbed against her roughly, his tone so aggrieved that he seemed ready to cry at any moment.
“My son has a daughter-in-law, but what about me? I only have you. You can’t scare me like this.”
Lu Zhufeng thought to himself, "Aren't your dad and your brother both alive and well?"
How come only the wife is left?
Sure enough, he's still got it, just like the father of that pretentious brat. He's got it all.
Luo Yilan put her hand on his shoulder, comforting him with a gentle pat, and then turned her head to lightly tap his cheek.
"Alright, I'm fine now, aren't I?"
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the younger generation?"
Xiao Shuihan released her, then hugged her arm, whispering plaintively:
"I was just worried about you..."
Luo Yilan patted his hand reassuringly, then met Xiao Wujie's concerned gaze:
"Mom, what happened over there?"
Luo Yilan, dragging along the clingy Xiao Shuihan, sat down beside Xiao Wujie, gently squeezing his icy hand, and said with slight annoyance:
“Kerry Cook was like a different person today. Something was wrong with him. He even wanted to imprison me.”
Yunmo's face was solemn as she spoke in a deep voice, "Teacher, that person must have been under an illusion."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wujie's expression suddenly hardened.
He knew that some people wouldn't stay put.
The term "illusion" was not unfamiliar to Xiao Shuihan and Luo Yilan. With their knowledge, they knew that such a thing existed, but they had never seen it.
They had heard Xiao Qianshan mention that Ash Hall, who was also the chairman of God, was a top figure in this field and had few rivals.
They had also heard Xiao Qianshan mention that Aisie Hall was a vengeful person, and if that was the case, then she must be the one behind today's events.
Xiao Shuihan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he suddenly asked Xiao Wujie, "Son, do you also know how to do this?"
He had just clearly witnessed Yunmo's methods, and Yunmo's address to Xiao Wujie as "teacher" proved that Xiao Wujie should also possess these skills, or even have a higher level of expertise.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Liyue's slender fingers trembled slightly, her expression becoming serious.
Xiao Wujie silently placed his hand in her palm, gently rubbing it, and whispered, "I can, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, I can't use it for the time being."
Xiao Shuihan and Luo Yilan exchanged a glance, their expressions tense. Their son was already weak and had temporarily lost his means of protection. In this environment, any carelessness could have unimaginable consequences.
Luo Yilan quickly said in a deep voice, "The prison is in chaos, and it won't be safe here any longer. We have to leave immediately."
Xiao Wujie took out a map of the prison and pointed his slender finger at the nearest escape route:
"This is the closest escape route, and it's exclusively for use by those in high-rise buildings."
"We'll go straight here and leave on the lifeboat that Grandpa built."
As everyone else nodded in agreement, Chu Liyue suddenly pointed to another escape route:
"Sweetie, is this the way we should go?"
Xiao Wujie looked at the escape route she was pointing to and remained silent for a moment.
Although that escape route wasn't the furthest, it was still much farther than the one he had chosen.
Moreover, there will inevitably be a large number of bloodthirsty thugs blocking the road, creating numerous obstacles.
There's only one thing: this path passes through the morgue.
Chu Liyue wanted to get the Jade Heart Stone for him.
Xiao Wujie's eyes showed struggle, but he still spoke up: "Sister, I will be satisfied if I can rescue Lao Lu on this trip."
"This place is fraught with danger. Aisie Hall definitely has other tricks up his sleeve. Every second we can hold out is crucial..."
Chu Liyue suddenly interrupted: "Then you should leave through the special passage first..."
Xiao Wujie interrupted forcefully: "No."
"If you don't take me with you, I'll just jump into the sea."
His reaction was within Chu Liyue's expectations; she knew that Xiao Wujie would not let her risk going to retrieve the Jade Heart Stone alone.
Similarly, she couldn't feel at ease without personally watching over him in this environment.
Xiao Wujie realized his tone was too harsh, so he softened his expression, put his arm around her waist, and tried to beg her.
At this moment, Lu Zhufeng also spoke up in a deep voice: "You pretentious thing, why don't we just listen to Miss Chu?"
"The finest Jade Heart Stone will be of great use to you, as it can accelerate the recovery of your special abilities."
"I went through so much trouble to steal it, I wouldn't be satisfied if I didn't take it with me."
Lu Zhufeng and Chu Liyue's insistence made Xiao Wujie's expression soften somewhat.
Seeing this, Luo Yilan gently comforted her, "It's okay, sweetie, we're all here for you, nothing will happen."
The situation was urgent and could not be delayed. After gritting his teeth, Xiao Wujie finally nodded in agreement.
Everyone hurriedly packed their essentials, and Chu Liyue bent down to carry Xiao Wujie on her back, ready to leave.
Xiao Wujie's gaze suddenly fell on Luo Yilan's computer, and he reminded her, "Mom, take the computer with you, it might come in handy."
He knew Ash Hall; that viperous old hag, when she struck, it was always a fatal blow. Things weren't that simple.
His idea was validated just minutes after they left.
