Chapter 72 Prison Break Plan
In the prison where extraordinary children are held, the bloodstains on the ground have been cleaned up, but the shadows in everyone's hearts are not so easy to clear away.
After Li Ping'an was murdered, the children in the prison were like eggplants hit by frost. Everyone lowered their heads, sat in the corner, and said nothing.
Looking at Li Ping'an's miserable condition, they seemed to see themselves in the future.
It turns out that if you don't obey, you will really be killed.
So what should they do? Should I just give in and join this organization and become one of them?
Everyone was confused.
An atmosphere of despair permeated the cell.
In the end, it was Qi Yu who broke the silence.
"Let's run away." He stood up and took the lead in suggesting, "Let's run away."
The children looked at each other, our eyes full of fear and hesitation.
Someone said in a trembling voice: "But you just saw it. If we resist, we will be killed."
"Yes, if we were caught, we would definitely be dead."
Everyone was talking at once, and the haze of fear once again enveloped their hearts, as if they were reminded of some horrific scene. A younger girl covered her face with her hands and cried, "Stop talking!"
The cell fell silent again, and everyone stopped talking, as if this would help them escape the horrible reality.
In the dead silence, Qi Yu said coldly: "Are you scared now?"
He looked around the room, looked into the eyes of the other children, and said word by word, "Rather than being frightened here and being taken away and brainwashed tomorrow, I would rather risk my life to escape now."
His words were like a needle piercing the calm surface of a lake, bringing the stagnant cell back to life.
Yes, there will be no good ending if I stay here, so I might as well fight to the death.
"But," someone suddenly pointed at a figure in the corner and said, "You make it sound so easy to escape. Look at your companion. He is not as confident as you are."
Everyone turned to look, only to see Zhang Dongyang curled up in a corner of the cell with his back to them, as if he was facing the wall to reflect on his sins.
Ever since he witnessed Li Ping'an's tragic condition, he has been squatting in a corner like a soulless zombie, never saying a word again.
Qi Yu walked up to him and saw that his eyes were lifeless and he was muttering something.
He put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Zhang Dongyang, cheer up, let's escape together."
Hearing Qi Yu's voice, Zhang Dongyang slowly turned his head, his eyes full of bloodshot.
He clenched his fist and said, "Junior Sister... They killed Junior Sister. I don't want to escape. I want to fight them!"
Qi Yu stopped him and held his shoulders tightly with both hands: "Be rational, how can you fight them with all your strength? If you go now, you will die. Don't make any more meaningless sacrifices."
"Fearless sacrifice?" Zhang Dongyang suddenly became excited when he heard Qi Yu's words.
He roared and pushed Qi Yu's hand away, grabbed his collar with one hand, and pointed to the prison door with the other hand, "That's my junior sister, aren't you sad at all? The blood outside hasn't even dried yet, how can you be so calm and say something like running away now?"
"Qi Yu, don't you have a heart?"
Being questioned like this, Qi Yu just stared coldly into Zhang Dongyang's eyes and said to him, "Let go."
Zhang Dongyang shouted angrily: "What if I don't let go? Hit me if you dare!"
Before he could finish his words, Qi Yu punched him to the ground.
He sat on the ground in a daze, covering his burning cheeks with his hands, and looked up at Qi Yu in disbelief: "You hit me?"
This guy Qi Yu actually attacked him! ?
"Are you awake now?" After beating him, Qi Yu shook his hands and looked down at Zhang Dongyang on the ground, "Are you willing to listen to me now?"
Zhang Dongyang raised his head, stared at Qi Yu angrily, and then fell silent.
He swore that if Qi Yu said anything like running away together again, he would punch him back.
Qi Yu took a deep breath and said, "I believe Li Ping'an is not dead."
Zhang Dongyang was stunned.
Qi Yu continued, "I believe in Li Ping'an. She can't die so easily." He looked firmly into Zhang Dongyang's eyes, "Although I don't know what tricks the other party used, I believe she must be staying somewhere, waiting for us to save her."
Perhaps it was because his tone was too firm, Zhang Dongyang's confused heart suddenly calmed down, and the confusion in his heart gradually dissipated. He unknowingly chose to believe Qi Yu and asked: "Then, what should we do next?"
Qi Yu said firmly: "Escape and find Li Ping'an."
Zhang Dongyang asked: "How to escape?"
Qi Yu said calmly: "From now on, everything is up to me."
Zhang Dongyang nodded: "Okay."
The two walked side by side in front of everyone, and the other children looked at them with their mouths open.
These two were about to fight just now, and the smell of gunpowder could be smelled from several meters away. Now they are brothers again?
Zhang Dongyang stood in front of everyone with a slightly red and swollen face, his eyes shining brightly, as if he was reborn.
He raised his arms and shouted for Qi Yu, "Rise up, those who do not want to be slaves. The cage of darkness cannot hold back our desire for freedom. Let us unite as one, break the shackles with courage and wisdom, and march toward freedom! Forward! Forward!"
Perhaps they really wanted to escape, or perhaps they were afraid of being beaten by Qi Yu, after hearing Zhang Dongyang's declaration of freedom, the other children also responded.
Finally, everyone agreed to the escape plan.
After reaching a consensus on the goal, Qi Yu expressed his speculation: "I guess the superpower of the man named Pastor may be a psychic power related to hypnosis. Although we don't know when he hypnotized us, what we just saw may not be true. He kept hinting that the awakening ceremony would start tomorrow, but in fact, his brainwashing of us began when he appeared."
"So that's how it is." Zhang Dongyang slapped his thigh fiercely. He came back to his senses now. "I said that Junior Sister had the magic sword given by Master. If she couldn't beat the opponent, she could just run away. How could she not even resist? It turns out that all this is fake. They deliberately let us see Junior Sister's body to scare us and make us lose our normal judgment."
Recalling the state of depression he had fallen into because of Li Ping'an's murder, he said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Qi Yu, you were able to calm down at that time, otherwise we might really be locked up here by them, waiting to be taken away for the awakening ceremony tomorrow."
Who knows what the awakening ceremony is? Maybe you will be brainwashed from now on and there will be no way back.
Qi Yu said, "It was just bad luck that they chose Li Ping'an. If they had chosen someone else, I might not have discovered the problem so quickly."
After listening to their conversation, the other children showed expressions of sudden enlightenment on their faces: "So no one was killed? What we saw was all an illusion, right?"
Qi Yu nodded, and then reminded: "But we still don't know what the awakening ceremony they are talking about is. I don't think it is a good thing. This place is still very dangerous, so we must escape tonight while the guards outside still think we are frightened by the priest."
Everyone looked outside the cell door and saw that it was not as heavily guarded as before the pastor came.
Several guards gathered at a corner not far away, and loud voices could be vaguely heard from there: "A pair of A!" "A pair of 2!" "Fuck, you actually kept a pair of 2 in your hand!" "Hahaha, give me money..."
Qi Yu turned around and said to the kid in front of him, "We are going to prepare to escape from prison. From now on, you all have to listen to me."
Everyone swallowed nervously, looked at him, nodded, and said, "What should we do next?"
Qi Yu thought for a moment, pointed at the cell door and said, "The first step in the jailbreak plan is to open the cell door."
Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the cell door.
Perhaps because those who were captured were all children, the people here relaxed their vigilance and only locked the cell door with an iron lock without using any superpowers.
If they want to escape from the cell, all they have to do is open this lock.
How do you open the lock?
Everyone gathered around the cell door and began to figure out how to open the lock.
Someone said, "It seems that this needs a key to unlock it, but we don't have the key. The key is with the person outside."
So the question is, how can we get the key to the door lock without alerting the guards?
Qi Yu stroked his chin and thought: "Maybe you don't need a key to unlock the door to escape from the cell."
He walked around the cell and finally stopped beside an iron railing at the edge. He pointed at the railing and said, "The gap here is big enough. As long as we open the railings on both sides a little more, can't we get out?"
Zhang Dongyang walked up and touched the railing, his eyes widened as he said, "This is made of iron. Even if all of us put together, we can't break it apart."
At this moment, a sturdy little fat boy suddenly raised his hand and said, "Well, my superpower is strength, maybe I can give it a try."
Everyone looked over there.
Qi Yu snapped his fingers and pointed at the door lock and said, "Very good, then try to see if you can break this chain."
Little Fatty: “Ah?”
Aren’t you going to break the railing?
Qi Yu shrugged: "For a power-type extraordinary person, breaking the chain is much easier than breaking the iron railings."
Seems to be fine.
Just do it.
So, under the expectant eyes of everyone, the little fat boy walked calmly to the door of the cell, took a horse stance, sank his qi into his dantian, held the two ends of the chain tightly with both hands, and took a deep breath.
With a roar of "Ah——", the chain broke.
Looking at the door lock that was broken into two pieces in his hand, he turned around happily and said, "I, I succeeded!"
He was successful, but he was happy too early.
The next second, a terrifying sound was heard outside the cell.
“Pah pah pah…”
Three guards in black tights clapped their hands and said to the people in the cell, "Well done, little devils. You actually opened the cell door."
"But this is all futile struggle. What are you going to do next?"
When the little fat boy turned around, he saw several muscular men as big as mountains blocking the way of the cell. He was so scared that he crawled back to his friends and hid behind Qi Yu, trembling in fear.
Although the door was now open, everyone hesitated and no one dared to step out of the prison.
Staying in the cell has become the safest place for them.
"What should we do?" someone asked tremblingly.
Before he could finish his words, the muscular man outside said stiffly, "I warn you, don't have any tricks, and don't even think about stepping out of the cell. If anyone dares to step out, be careful or we will not treat you politely."
While they were uttering threatening words, they were also moving the muscles of their hands with bad intentions. Everyone knew that they would be taught a lesson by violence when they got out of the cell.
But the strange thing is that they only made verbal threats but did not step into the cell. It should be that they had received some instructions from their superiors that unless the future members of these organizations seriously violated the rules, even the guards could not impose punishment on them at will.
So the children didn't go out and the muscular men didn't come in.
The two sides faced each other across an unlocked cell door.
The situation was at a stalemate for a moment.
Faced with the sudden predicament, the children in the cell were suddenly in a state of panic, and they all put their support on Qi Yu.
Everyone was looking at each other and asking: What should we do? What should I do?
Zhang Dongyang, who was closest to Qi Yu, poked his arm with his finger, leaned close to him and asked in a low voice: "Qi Yu, do you have any ideas? Don't you have any plans for the future? What should we do now?"
Qi Yu said confidently: "Don't we all have superpowers? Let's use our superpowers to defeat them."
"Ah?" Zhang Dongyang was dumbfounded, "But my superpower is to communicate with animals."
The other kids also shook their heads and said, "No, I'm a support-type transcendent and I don't have the ability to attack."
"I don't have the ability to attack..."
"Although I am a power-type extraordinary person, I can't beat so many adults."
Qi Yu didn't expect that there was no one else who could fight except himself.
He sighed and said, "Then let me do it, even though my superpowers are not even as good as yours."
Unexpectedly, after discussing for a long time, the little devils actually pushed out the weakest person to be beaten. The muscular men laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt. "Hahaha, you guys are too funny. Do you think we will show mercy if you pick the weakest person?"
Qi Yu pushed open the cell door, walked outside, stood in front of the muscular men, and spread his hands, saying, "I don't expect you, the social scum who kidnapped children, to have a conscience and not bully the weak. It's not feasible to reason with people like you..."
As he spoke, he walked towards the aisle at the side, as if he didn't want his miserable condition to be seen by his companions in the cell.
Hearing him provoking the other party like this, Zhang Dongyang stamped his feet anxiously in the prison: "Qi Yu, don't go, you will be killed."
The muscular men were indeed angered by Qi Yu. They no longer cared about the other children and rushed to surround where Qi Yu was.
"So crazy, little brat."
"Why do you look down on us?"
"We need to teach him a lesson."
"Don't kill him, just leave him a breath."
Seeing Qi Yu surrounded by an iron-clad wall of people, his small figure slowly disappeared into the dark corridor. Everyone in the cell swallowed nervously.
Zhang Dongyang squatted on the ground with his head in his hands in fear: "He will be beaten to death, Qi Yu will be beaten to death..."
As his words fell, a scream of “Ahhhhhhh——” came from the passage.
Everyone in the cell finally couldn't bear it any longer and rushed out.
"We can't let Qi Yu be bullied by them alone. We have to take the beating together!"
"We fought them!"
"Qi Yu, we are here to rescue you!"
"Qi Yu, hold on!"
Everyone rushed into the passage, trying to rescue Qi Yu from the iron fists of the muscular men.
A flash of lightning illuminated the scene in front of them.
The imagined scene of Qi Yu being punched and kicked did not appear. Instead, several muscular men were electrocuted so hard that their hair stood on end, their bodies twitched, and they fell to the ground unconscious.
Everyone was stunned as they looked at Qi Yu standing among a pile of bodies with a ball of lightning flashing and jumping in his hand.
"What, what's going on?" Someone asked, "Qi Yu, are you an offensive type transcendent?"
"So you are so amazing."
"Then you can just ignore us and escape by yourself."
Zhang Dongyang, who was standing behind the crowd, let out a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. This was really a test of his acting skills.
Then he suddenly thought of something and lowered his head.
Yes, Qi Yu was fully capable of escaping on his own. If he wasn’t too weak, he would not have given up resistance and been captured.
"What are you talking about?" Qi Yu frowned and said, "Isn't it just as difficult to take you out and for me to escape alone?"
He put one hand in his pocket, with a nonchalant expression on his face. "Besides, if someone hadn't opened the door just now, I wouldn't have been able to get out of the cell. You guys are still of some use."
Everyone's eyes lit up again, "So, you won't abandon us, right?"
Qi Yu nodded.
"What? You still like to show off." Zhang Dongyang couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
"You can obviously deal with them outside, why do you have to lead them here?" he asked.
Qi Yu raised his head and motioned for him to look above his head.
Several little heads raised their heads to look over there.
Soon someone noticed something strange and asked, "What is that?"
"That's a hidden camera. I'm afraid it's a surveillance camera used by this organization to monitor us." Qi Yu speculated: "There must have been kids here who planned to escape like us before. Just in case, they installed a surveillance camera. This way, even if someone escapes, they can find out in time from the surveillance footage."
"So that's it." Everyone suddenly realized.
"So you deliberately led people to this place, right?" Zhang Dongyang asked.
Qi Yu nodded, "That's right, because the place where we are standing now is a blind spot for the surveillance camera." He raised his head and looked upwards, his eyes through the surveillance camera, as if he saw the pair of eyes staring at them from behind.
He slowly said, "I just want the people monitoring us to think that we are still being beaten by the guards. That way, we will have time to find Li Pingan and escape."
You thought I was on the first level, but actually I am in the atmosphere.
Didn't you install surveillance cameras to monitor us? Then I will put on a good show for you.
This is Qi Yu’s real jailbreak plan.
After hearing Qi Yu's explanation, the admiration in everyone's eyes seemed to be turning into reality. "Qi Yu, you are so amazing. How did you think of all this in such a short time?"
Qi Yu asked in confusion: "It's such a simple thing, can't you think of it?"
Zhang Dongyang:...Damn it, I was careless and was fooled by this kid again.
"Ahem..." He cleared his throat twice, drawing everyone's attention back. "Okay, now that we have escaped from the cell, Qi Yu and I will go find Junior Sister first. If you are scared, you can stay here and wait for us."
The rest of the children looked at each other.
Someone mustered up the courage and said, "I'm not afraid. I'll go with you."
His words seemed to turn on a switch, and the others echoed: "I'm not afraid either. I want to go with you too."
"Me too, me too!"
"I don't want to be here, I want to be with all of you."
Unexpectedly, everyone was so enthusiastic about finding someone. Qi Yu frowned and said, "The journey to find Li Ping'an must be full of dangers. It's better for you to wait for us here."
Zhang Dongyang also scratched his head and said, "And now we don't even know where our junior sister is being held."
Yes, where was Li Pingan taken?
Everyone was stuck in a bottleneck again.
At this moment, a little boy wearing black-framed glasses suddenly volunteered and raised his hand, saying, "Well, my special ability is an enhanced sixth sense, maybe I can help you."
The sixth sense, isn’t that the ability to predict the future?
Qi Yu's eyes lit up, and he pointed at him and said, "Okay, then you lead the way."
"Ah? Me?" He didn't expect Qi Yu to entrust him with such an important task as leading the way. The boy in the black frame raised his hand and then curled it back. "But my superpower is very weak, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't..."
If he made any mistake, it would kill everyone in such a dangerous place.
"It's okay, I believe you." Zhang Dongyang said loudly.
The little fat boy followed closely and said, "I believe you too."
The others said in unison: "We all believe in you, you can do it."
Qi Yu walked up to the boy in the black frame, put his hand on his shoulder, and said solemnly: "We don't know where Li Ping'an is imprisoned now, so we can only rely on your intuition. You are the one with the best intuition here. Can you please take us to find Li Ping'an?"
Looking at everyone's trusting eyes, the boy in the black frame was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
He always thought that his superpower was the most useless one, and he never expected that one day someone would trust him so firmly.
"Yes, I can! I can do it!" After receiving this trust, he wiped away his tears and choked up, "Wow, thank you, thank you, I will definitely work hard."
If we put our lives in his hands, he will definitely do his best to get us out!
He closed his eyes, activated his superpowers, and sensed some mysterious energy.
After a while, he opened his eyes, pointed in a direction and said, "Should, should go this way."
"Okay." Qi Yu took the baton, waved his hand forward, and took the first step: "Let's go."
"Let's go." Zhang Dongyang followed Qi Yu without hesitation, "Our goal is to save our junior sister."
The other children followed behind them, moving forward firmly.
Towards light and freedom,
With faith and hope,
Set off!
