Chapter 095 Chapter 95
"Thank you, Mr. Crow." Liddell said to the crow on his shoulder.
After rubbing its claws, the black crow thought the cloth under its feet was too dirty, so it flapped its wings and flew to Liddell's other shoulder and landed. After hearing the boy's thanks, it tilted its head and looked at Liddell with contempt.
Liddell was silent. God knew how he could see such a human and mocking look on the face of a crow.
Because of the attack, the girl screamed strangely and let go of the boy's hand. The boy, who was finally freed, covered his bruised waist and ran to Liddell and said hurriedly: "Hurry, let's run!"
"Oh!" Liddell reacted, turned around and wanted to leave with the boy.
As a result, before he started running, the crow flew up from his shoulder and at the same time, a black feather wing flapped towards Liddell's face. The force was quite strong and Liddell was stunned. He turned around on the spot, his face full of confusion after being hit.
"Liddell?" The boy asked hurriedly when he saw him like this, "Are you okay?" Then he grabbed Liddell's hand and said, "Come with me!"
"Two weak human boys." A hoarse voice sounded, "All you can do is run away. You are so incompetent."
The boy paused and looked up in disbelief at the crow circling above his head. Was it this bird that was speaking just now?
Can a crow be a talking bird?
No, this crow just now hurt the monster, it must not be an ordinary crow.
"Watch out, this is what we should do to a guy like this!" The black crow rushed towards the strange head like a black arrow, and used its sharp claws to continuously attack the strange head and body, leaving several long and deep wounds in a short while.
Qiyi tried desperately to resist, and later even reached out to catch Crow. Crow was agile and saw that Qiyi's arms and legs were thin and long, and it was inconvenient for him to move in the low and small cell, with many blind spots. So he focused on Qiyi's back and tried to catch him. Qiyi tried hard to turn around, but his thin arms and legs kept hitting the wall and the roof. Finally, Qiyi gave up and quickly got out of the cell and ran away.
Liddell and the boy stared in amazement as the ferocious monster fled away in a hurry, not even paying attention to the existence of their two preys.
The crow landed on Liddell's shoulder and continued to wipe his paw with his clean side.
"Have you learned it?" Utol asked sarcastically.
Liddell: ...
Well, I’ve failed.
In addition, his shirt was completely scrapped. After Master Crow finished wiping the window sill that flew to the cell and fell, Liddell took off his shirt and threw it on the ground, revealing his upper body with a little abdominal muscle.
Although it was easy to get injured without the protection of clothes, it was even more uncomfortable to have both shoulders covered with rancid mucus.
"Are we...safe now?" Another boy breathed heavily, "That's great."
Having escaped death, I felt extremely relieved.
He held out his hand to Liddell. "Thank you for staying and saving me. I'm Sean, a student in your department. We've met a few times in the East Continent History and Culture class."
"Liddle." He shook Sean's hand back.
"Thank you too, Mr. Crow." Sean said to the crow that landed on the windowsill.
The crow sneered and looked at Sean sarcastically.
Sean: …
Although the other party saved his life, to be honest, this crow had a really bad attitude.
"Excuse me, Mr. Crow, do you live here?" Liddell walked up and asked respectfully.
The crow raised its head slightly: "Utor."
Liddell was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was Crow's name. Sean stood aside and murmured, "There's also a name."
The next second the crow pounced on his head and started scratching it. Its sharp claws cut off Sean's hair strands one by one, like a crazy lawn mower.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, no!" Sean begged for mercy.
After Utor had taken revenge, Sean's neat and tidy hair looked as if it had been chewed by a dog. He touched the hair that was missing a patch here and a patch there, and felt like crying but had no tears.
"Boy, if you say something nasty again, I'll cut off your scalp next time!" Utor raised his claws as if warning.
Sean covered his head and dared not speak.
"I don't live here." The crow rubbed its claws on the stone a few times. "There is a lot of food here, so I came here."
"Food?" Liddell thought about the crow's recipe. "What do you want to eat?"
"That monster just now is my food." Crow said, "But I just ate one before, so I'm not that hungry now. I can eat it later."
Sean's eyes widened in horror.
Eat that monster?
"Can I go with you later?" Liddell asked.
The crow tilted its head and looked at him.
"Wait, are you serious?" Sean quickly pulled Liddell aside and whispered.
Liddell's decision not to give up his escape won Sean's trust and gratitude. He planned to travel with Liddell in the future. Having a trustworthy companion in such a dangerous place would greatly increase the safety factor.
But is it really okay to travel with a crow whose background is unknown? Although the crow saved them, it is not a human after all.
Especially since that crow feeds on monsters.
"It eats monsters, so it will definitely go out to look for food, which means it will take the initiative to look for monsters." Sean said nervously in a low voice, "Given the temperament of that crow, we can't expect it to follow us. We can only follow it and then go look for monsters with it? That's too dangerous!"
Liddell: "Even if we don't look for monsters, won't the monsters look for us? Following Utol, the hunter of monsters, is at least a little safer."
"But who knows how wide the crow's diet is? What if we are also on its diet? If it can't find the monster, will it just eat us directly?" Sean was very excited, and he desperately hoped that Liddell could give up that idea.
"You don't have much to eat." Utol chuckled a few times, "The bones are too big and there is not much meat. There is not much energy and it won't satisfy you."
Sean immediately covered his head and looked back at the crow in horror.
It heard it.
But the crow didn't seem angry. It just answered the question and still stood on the windowsill, looking at them mockingly.
Sean put down his hand awkwardly.
"Look, he said he wouldn't eat us," Liddell said.
Sean: …
I don't eat it because there's nothing delicious, not because it's inedible.
It's still very dangerous.
"I want to follow Mr. Uttor," Liddell said to Sean. "You can decide for yourself."
From the beginning, they were not friends or partners. The reason they stayed to save Sean was because Liddell was a good person.
He would not force Sean to go with him, and if he was afraid, he could leave.
"Can I follow you?" Liddell walked up to Utor and asked respectfully again.
Utor shook his little head and looked at Liddell: "Not a bad stand, let's go." After that, it flew up and landed on Liddell's head. It scratched Liddell's hair with its two claws, made the small curly hair into a shape similar to a bird's nest, and then lay down.
Liddell with a crow on his head: ...
This was a development he had not expected.
But, never mind.
"Turn left when you go out the door." Utol called out in a hoarse voice.
"OK."
Sean watched the man and the bird walk out of the cell door. He stood there for a while, hesitant. Seeing the two figures were about to go away, he made up his mind and jogged after them.
"Wait for me." Sean said, "I want to act with you, Liddell, although I am not good at crows..."
Utor glanced at him with his head tilted.
Sean changed his words midway: "Okay, this is not bad, let's go and find the monster."

Duke and his two companions rushed out of the cell, with Fat Strange chasing them closely. However, due to his weight, his speed was not very fast, and he just followed the three of them from a distance.
"Hey, isn't this a loop?" Tony shouted in panic, "We can escape without encountering patrolling guards or monsters!"
"I don't know!" Duke said quickly, "Just run."
He even looked back.
Mandy was the slowest, she almost cried, Fatty's footsteps were very heavy behind her. Tony and Duke were faster than her, if Fatty really caught up with her, she would definitely be the first to lose her life.
Mandy was very scared.
But no one could help her in this matter. Duke couldn't deliberately slow down and run slower than Mandy, and it was not convenient for him to pull her while running. In fact, pulling someone's arm while running would most likely cause them to fall, and they wouldn't be able to run fast either.
Now all we can do is pray.
The exit of the corridor with light in front of them soon arrived. Although they didn't know why, the loop that had prevented them from leaving before had disappeared, which gave Duke and the other two hope.
But soon, they heard footsteps coming from the front, and there were several very chaotic voices, as if they were also running away.
Before Duke could guess who it was, the owner of the footsteps had already rushed out. It was Park Sung-hyun and Ainol and others.
The two sides collided.
"It's you...there are monsters behind us!" Duke shouted.
Park Sung-hyun immediately said, "There is an invisible ghost behind us!"
The two people looked at each other, their thoughts raced, and they concluded that the other party was not lying. Now they were being pursued from both sides, so the only way left was... to turn!
The place where the two met was a T-intersection. Both roads were blocked, so there was only one road to choose, and that road happened to be the way upstairs.
Going up further is the third floor, which is also the highest floor of this prison.
Generally speaking, many high-ranking prison administrators live on the top floor.
