Chapter 188 Chaos Block No. 13 (45) Restore the Gemstone...
In the grove outside the prison, Gao Mengtang, Duan Song, Wei Xiangchen, Gao Geng, and He Lun stood side by side, looking up at the dark, majestic building.
The time is 10 o'clock in the morning. Four hours later, the axe-chopping person will be sentenced to death.
They are preparing to break out of the prison. It's a difficult task, but they can work together inside and outside to overcome some obstacles...
[118404 Out of Control Player] Identity Skill 1: [Shared Terminal]
[Shared Terminal] Establishes a connection with up to three players regardless of distance. During this time, you can talk via mind link and share your five senses. Establishes a connection with up to three players. Duration: 3 hours. Cooldown: 3 hours.
After integrating the [Out of Control Player] identity card, Gao Geng used his identity skill for the first time. Half an hour ago, he took out three small iron pieces as big as the nail of his little finger and gave them to Gao Mengtang and He Lun.
The iron sheet was attached to the temples, and it expanded as if absorbing water, turning into a spider web that covered the entire head. The spider silk flickered like neon strips for a few seconds and then melted into the skin.
There was one iron piece left, and Gao Mengtang gave it to the enemy rabbit: "Turn yourself into a rabbit, sneak into the courtroom, and hand it over to Wei Wei and He Lun."
"Strawberries," said the enemy rabbit, standing on its two hind paws, "two pounds."
Gao Mengtang rubbed his ear: "Okay."
The enemy rabbit hopped away with the two small pieces of iron.
Half an hour later, I felt a tingling sensation as if an electric current was running through my skin, and Wei Wei's voice came: "Mr. Blind? Are you going to break out of the prison now?"
"I'm outside the prison," Gao Mengtang looked up and saw a huge screen playing a loop of the educational film "Reform Yourself and Become a New Person". "The Axe Man has been put in an energy suppression collar. I need to find the key first."
Each energy suppression collar requires three keys to open. Without opening the collar, the Axeman's abilities will be suppressed, and the alarm will be triggered as soon as they leave the cell.
"Wait a minute." Wei Wei said. After dozens of seconds, he turned on the visual sharing. Gao Mengtang's right eye still saw the towering prison and the low forest, while his left eye was covered by a layer of electronic film and saw the computer screen in front of Wei Wei.
On the screen was a diagram of the prison structure. Wei Wei marked a location in red: "The key is stored here. But..."
Wei Wei switched the pictures and said, "There is a central monitoring room on the second floor of the prison. You need to cut off the monitoring first, otherwise, the alarm will be triggered as soon as you enter the prison. He Lun is an employee of the Court of Justice, he can go in."
"You must be careful," Wei Wei said, his voice full of worry, "You must be careful. If you are not careful during this operation, my identity will be exposed."
He Lun withdrew his gaze from the prison tower: "No, Wei Wei. Trust us."
*
Knock, knock, knock. There was a knock on the door of the monitoring center.
The two prison guards were staring at the surveillance camera intently. When they heard the knock on the door, they startled and opened the door hesitantly.
Seeing the person outside the door, the prison guard opened his eyes wide. It turned out to be Chief Meng's assistant, the very popular Chief Meng in the courtroom.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" the prison guard asked carefully.
"Director Meng wants to see you about something." He Lun said with a straight face.
The prison guard was surprised again: "Looking for me? What's the matter?"
"I don't know. Go ask him." He Lun said impatiently, "Go quickly. Don't keep Chief Meng waiting for too long."
"I, I'll go," one of the guards said, "You stay here and watch."
He Lun frowned even more tightly: "Chief Meng, I'm looking for you two."
The prison guards looked confused: "No one can leave the monitoring room."
"Heh," He Lun chuckled, causing the two prison guards to shudder again. "Well, the monitoring room cannot be left without someone, so you can just ask Director Meng to wait. Let's see who is scarier when these monitoring screens are angry, or when Director Meng is angry."
The two prison guards shuddered, looked at each other, and said in a muffled voice: "I, we will go now. Monitor..."
"I'll help you keep an eye on it," He Lun said, "Don't dawdle. Don't make Chief Meng wait anxiously."
After the two prison guards left, Gao Mengtang's voice happened to be heard in the mind link: "Alun, how is it going? Is it going well?"
"It went smoothly. I sent the two of them away." He Lun took out a mobile data disk and connected it with an excuse.
[Out of Control Player] Identity Skill 2: [Collapse Data]
After connecting to the power source, it can interfere with all electronic technology equipment within a radius of 1 km, and can also tamper with the data in the technology equipment. The skill lasts for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, the equipment will return to normal (the tampered data cannot be restored). The cooldown time is 48 hours.
"You should have killed them directly, and then tampered with the surveillance footage of you killing them," Wei Wei said with a hint of displeasure in his voice, "If you leave them alive, they will report me."
He Lun operated the monitoring terminal and said briefly: "Why worry? Nothing will happen to you." Then he cut off contact with Wei Wei.
In the meeting room of the Judgment Hall, when Wei Wei heard this, he suddenly clenched his fists. He tried to contact He Lun again, but a prompt popped up: [099 Broken Wing Knight] has cut off contact with you.
"Why worry? Nothing will happen to you."
He Lun's words echoed in Wei Wei's ears, and an indescribable bitterness surged into every part of his body. For a moment, Wei Wei could not hear what the people around him were saying.
Does He Lun still hate him?
"Meng Fei?" An Ning's voice sounded beside her ears. She touched Wei Wei's right hand and said, "It's your turn to speak."
Wei Wei suddenly came to his senses and looked for the documents.
*
"The surveillance interference was successful." He Lun said, "Brother, come in."
Gao Mengtang and others slipped into the prison building along the wall. The display screen on the prison's outer wall was still playing an educational film, and the slogan "Reform yourself well and become a new person" was shouted loudly.
"He Lun, come out quickly. Remember to replace the footage after you entered the monitoring room." Gao Mengtang said.
"Yeah." He Lun said. But he didn't leave immediately. He first replaced the surveillance footage of Gao Mengtang and others sneaking in with a normal surveillance video and set it to play in a loop. In this way, there would be no trace of Gao Mengtang and others sneaking in.
Afterwards, He Lun called up the footage of him entering the monitoring room: he knocked on the door and lied that Director Meng wanted to see them about something.
The mouse hovered over the [Replace] button for a long time without clicking it.
Wei Wei is right, this operation is very likely to be exposed.
He Lun did not delete or replace the surveillance video. He closed the page directly, took out a new USB flash drive, connected it to the computer, and selected the largest display screen on the outer wall of the prison as the playback device.
In the picture, An Ning is gnawing on the bodies of the bishop and three others.
He set the playback time of this video to one hour later and play it in a loop.
*
The key storage room is on the first floor of the prison. There are a lot of security guards patrolling there. They are on full alert and highly vigilant.
"Dog." Gao Mengtang hid behind the cabinet.
Pegana jumped out, shook his head, wagged his tail, and stood proudly in the middle of the hall.
"Where did the wild dog come from?" asked the armed security guard.
"Get him out of here," said another.
Just as the muzzle of the gun was about to touch Pegana, the dog let out a loud howl. The exploding brilliant aurora enveloped the entire prison. The security guard immediately fell to the ground, covering his ears in pain.
"Rush!" Gao Mengtang whispered. They seized these three minutes and ran towards the storage room. Wei Xiangchen was in the front and opened the door from the inside.
In the storage room, the cabinets containing files and documents reached the ceiling, and the four walls were hung with densely packed keys. There were more guards here, and just as they recovered from their panic, they saw the door handle that no one had touched turned downward, and the door opened from the inside by itself, and a group of people rushed in.
"Black Prince!" one of the security guards shouted, "Quick, kill him!"
Gao Mengtang stood still: "I'm very sorry, I don't want to hurt you, but... Li Mo."
The rustling sound of flipping scrolls was heard, and countless ice crystal fragments condensed, splitting the bullets and silently piercing the security guard's brow.
Two seconds later, all the security guards fell to the ground, their eyes wide open, with a bloody hole on their foreheads. Gao Mengtang squatted down beside a corpse, closed his eyes, and sighed softly.
Duan Song, Gao Geng and Wei Xiangchen took the key away swiftly.
"Senior Gao, who is as kind and pure as a camellia, do you want to cry for them?" Duan Song asked casually during the mind connection, "It's worth their death to have you cry for them."
Gao Mengtang was briefly sad, then followed them to get the key. He also answered through the mind link: "I was just thinking that it would be great if I could find the soul of the Eleventh Wise King. Hydra said that if you gather the souls of all the deceased Wise Kings, you can use the skill [Return to Heaven]. If I could go back to before the start of the Black Tower game, I wouldn't have to fight so much."
The spirits of all the deceased wise kings are in the body of the lantern ghost. The lantern ghost is essentially a movable coffin.
Except for the Eleventh Wise King, his soul is nowhere to be found.
"Don't think about the Eleventh Wise King," Wei Wei said, "I have located Song Chenwu's location. He happened to have escaped to the prison. Please be careful. Su Ji Meng! Don't eat my Clivia!"
When Gao Mengtang took down a bunch of keys, he heard the sound of a sharp knife being unsheathed behind him. His eyes flashed, and he immediately injected soul poison. When the blade stabbed at the back of his head, he turned his head to avoid it, grabbed the man's arm, and removed the knife. He pressed the attacker to the ground by the arm, and pressed his knee against his back.
"Who are you!" Duan Song shouted. He rushed over to take a look and his face changed. "You, what are you doing?"
The person who attacked Gao Mengtang was actually An Ning's assistant, Wu Yang.
This was not surprising. What was even more surprising was that Wu Yang was holding a key to a neck ring in his hand.
Wu Yang sneered, bent his elbow and hit Gao Mengtang's chest hard, breaking free from his control.
"Black Prince, the Axe Chopping People were really blind to choose you as their leader." Wu Yang looked at Gao Mengtang coldly, sneering continuously, "When the Court of Justice attacked the Old Mansion, you took your men and ran away first? You did a great job, keeping yourself out of trouble."
Gao Mengtang was stunned for a moment. Why would Wu Yang say such a thing?
Duan Song didn't want to waste any more time and raised his fist to hit. Wu Yang turned into a ball of black mist and followed the shadow of the file cabinet to the other side. Duan Song's fist smashed a big hole in the metal cabinet door.
Seeing Wu Yang following the shadow through the wall, Gao Mengtang's memory flashed through his mind in a flash: "Are you a ghost?"
The main contributor to Crazy Old Sheep's successful prison escape was a person named Ghost Shadow. She was a spy planted by the Axe Man in the courtroom and could walk through walls following shadows.
"Why, you just found out about this?" Wu Yang walked out from the other side of the filing cabinet. "You seem to be very concerned about the axe-killing incident."
Originally, the undercover list was in Grandma Hua's hands. Grandma Hua suddenly passed away, and the list was in Gao Mengtang's hands. But after that, too many things happened: Song Chenwu took hostages, He Yi died, Tong Xinteng spread, Dai Yinyin's ghost, and the Court of Justice prepared to attack the old mansion...
Gao Mengtang still wanted to find out the "twins secret" that was repeatedly mentioned in Hei Yankai's notes, but with a lot of things to do, he didn't have time to look through the list carefully and had long forgotten about the "ghost shadow".
"What are you doing here now?" Wu Yang asked sternly, "You're leaving us behind and walking away!"
Gao Mengtang raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender: "It takes a few words to explain. I didn't know that the ghost shadow was you... Anyway, we are now a united front, and we all want to help the Axe Man escape from prison."
Wu Yang glanced at the key in Gao Mengtang's hand: "Oh? You still have some conscience, but - I don't need you to be my comrade-in-arms!"
Her eyes were full of resentment, and she raised the knife, ready to stab Gao Mengtang again.
"Meng Fei!" Gao Mengtang said.
Wu Yang stopped.
"Meng Fei is my informant in the court," Gao Mengtang said. "He only contacts me."
Wu Yang did not have the cell phone modified by Gao Geng, which could allow her to contact the Axe Man at any time. She was not well-informed and obviously did not know about this matter. When she heard what Gao Mengtang said, her face was filled with shock.
"Meng Fei? The Chief of Epidemic Prevention and Inspection?" Wu Yang was incredulous. "Are you serious?"
Gao Mengtang nodded. At this time, Wei Wei asked in his ear, "What happened?" Gao Mengtang touched Wu Yang's temples with his index finger, and a spider silk drilled into her brain.
"Are you okay? Answer me."
It was indeed Meng Fei's voice. Wu Yang stared at Gao Mengtang for several seconds, then retracted the knife: "Give me all the keys, I'll go open the collar, you go deal with the security guard, and then open the cell door."
She quickly gathered all the keys in her arms, and without waiting for anyone to reply, she jumped to the corner of the ceiling and blended into the shadows.
Gao Mengtang and others rushed to the floor where the Axe Man was imprisoned, controlled them with the lantern ghost, and at the same time condensed ice crystal fragments, stabbing the patrolling security guards to death one by one, while others opened the cell doors one by one.
"Your skill is quite useful. There is no noise when you kill people." Wu Yang came out of the cell, followed by two mutants. She lowered her eyes and glanced at the corpse on the ground. "If you can get out alive, teach me."
Gao Mengtang still sighed: "It would be great if we could find the soul of the Eleventh Wise King."
"Xian Wang Shiyi has become a dead ghost, why do you miss him!" Wei Wei said, "Song Chenwu is getting closer and closer to the prison. An Ning organized us to chase him. You guys evacuate quickly. An Ning will arrive at the prison in 30 minutes."
The U-shaped building had more than 100 cells. In less than 10 minutes, all the axemen were rescued. They were not excited, but now was not a good time to cheer.
"Run!" Wu Yang waved his hand, "Follow me!"
Wei Xiangchen's face turned pale: "Gao, Chief Gao, I beg you to take these things back." He pointed at the black swamp in horror, "They are extremely harmful to the dead, and I don't want to die in old age."
"Hmm? Sorry." Gao Mengtang retracted the lantern ghost.
The twelve ghost lanterns were a mixture of the Supreme Order, the coffin of the virtuous king, and the soul of the virtuous king. Among them, the soul of the virtuous king was extremely oppressive to Wei Xiangchen, who was also a soul of the dead. Of course, he could not bear this impact.
Wei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived a catastrophe: "You can't see it, but I can. When those ghosts touched your black mucus, they immediately disappeared into thin air and screamed miserably." He weighed his handkerchief and wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.
Duanchang jumped down the stairs, and the fish tail splattered blood all over the wall.
"Well done for killing the Black Prince!" Duanchang gave Gao Mengtang a thumbs up, "That's how it should be done. The Court of Inquiry has made us bleed so much!"
Wei Wei: "Hurry up!! Song Chenwu has entered the prison!"
Gao Mengtang, along with hundreds of prisoners, rushed out of the prison main gate when they saw a blinding light.
Six iron maidens stood in a row with their hands folded in front of them, blocking their way out. Their metal skins reflected the sunlight, making it blindingly bright. Seeing the iron maidens, the axemen subconsciously took a half step back, their faces filled with fear. They had understood how powerful this thing was.
Song Chenwu's left arm had swelled and twisted, bursting through the sleeve of his suit, and the magic circle transplanted on his arm was oozing dark red blood.
His right arm was still normal size, but his left hand was longer than his knee and thicker than his thigh, and the skin had turned a stale reddish brown. Song Chenwu moved his shoulders, raised his deformed left arm with difficulty, and slowly clenched his fist.
"What an unexpected gain, Gao Mengtang," Song Chenwu said slowly, "I was hiding from the people in the Court of Justice and ran around everywhere. Unexpectedly, I met you by chance."
"Attack him!" Duan Song and He Lun rushed forward at the same time, but at this time, Song Chenwu's left arm, which was clenched into a fist, had black blood vessels bursting out.
Iron Lady's eyes glowed red, and her body disintegrated into pieces of metal plates, which wrapped around Song Chenwu's left arm to form a bulky armor. His metal fist collided with the fists of Duan Song and He Lun.
With a loud bang, Duan Song and He Lun were knocked flying and smashed into the outer wall of the prison. Broken bricks flew dozens of meters away. The two men fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, vomiting a mouthful of black and red blood.
"Almost." Song Chenwu's face was not looking good. The magic circle must have put a heavy burden on him. "Gao Mengtang, come on, I want to fight you. Summon those little black slimes of yours."
Gao Mengtang frowned: "Keep your head clear, Song Chenwu, our primary goal now is to pass the level, I don't want to fight with you."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Song Chenwu shouted, "I am very clear-headed. If I don't kill you now, I won't have the chance in the future."
The other five iron ladies suddenly disintegrated, and the metal pieces gathered into the shape of a flower, wrapping up everyone except Gao Mengtang. The sharp roots penetrated into the soil, controlling them so that they could not move.
Broken Heart screamed in panic. He scratched his tail while struggling, and green blood flowed along the sharp metal edge: "Run! Black Prince, these metal butchers are terrible, we can't beat them!"
He couldn't run away, and there was no way he could run away, because at this time, Song Chenwu had raised his fist and was hitting Gao Mengtang.
"Help! Help!" Wei Xiangchen shouted with his neck stretched, rushed to Gao Mengtang and opened his arms to block the attack, but he forgot that he was just a ghost, and Song Chenwu's fist went straight through his abdomen.
Fragments of ice crystals floated towards Song Chenwu's brows. His eyes became stern, and the Buddhist beads wrapped around his right hand broke apart. In the blink of an eye, 108 identical Song Chenwu appeared and surrounded Gao Mengtang.
[1.08 Million Years Pine] Identity Skill: [First-class Bodhi]
After breaking the beads, up to 108 phantoms can be created, lasting for 30 minutes, with a cooldown of 30 minutes.
During the duration of the phantom, the Wannian Song will only die if all phantoms are killed [at the same time] or all the Buddhist beads are destroyed. Otherwise, the Wannian Song phantom will quickly revive within 5 seconds.
The attack range of the ice crystal fragments was only within a 10-meter radius. The welcome of the pine fog was scattered and occupied the entire playground.
The fragments pierced Song Chenwu's head, and the heavy body fell on Gao Mengtang. The phantom flickered for a few seconds and approached Gao Mengtang step by step.
"Respected leader," Song Chenwu grabbed Gao Mengtang's neck from behind with his left hand and lifted him up, "Can you please say your last words?"
Gao Mengtang tried his best to pry his fingers open, but they didn't move at all.
"You know, these magic arrays will kill you," Gao Mengtang smiled easily, "If I were you, I would think about my last words first."
Song Chenwu obviously didn't believe it, and his left hand, which was loosely holding Gao Mengtang's neck, suddenly tightened!
“Senior!!”
"Brother Mengtang!"
"younger brother!"
The others were so anxious that their eyes turned red, but they were controlled by the metal pieces of the Iron Lady and could not move. They wished they could cut Song Chenwu into pieces with their eyes.
Pei Jiana let out a howl, and a magnetic field of fear surrounded Song Chenwu. He was so scared that he clenched his hands even tighter. Gao Mengtang could clearly hear the crisp sound of his cervical vertebrae cracking.
The grass was covered in black, and Song Chenwu was dragged into the mud while prying his left hand apart. But Song Chenwu, this madman, had his calves swallowed by the mud, but he had no intention of letting go.
He was still pinching Gao Mengtang's neck, not caring at all that his life was in danger, and sneered grimly: "Fighting with you is quite interesting. What is this black slime? Huh? You're going to die, can't you satisfy my curiosity?"
Song Chenwu pressed his face against Gao Mengtang's, seeing his cheeks flushed from being pinched, and sneered, "I have to admit, you are really beautiful. You are even more beautiful when you are about to be strangled to death."
His fist broke free from the pull of the black quagmire and clenched again. Gao Mengtang couldn't breathe in even a breath of air.
"Mr. Blind? Are you in danger?" Wei Wei asked anxiously, "An Ning will be here soon, are you okay?"
Not good... not good at all. Gao Mengtang was held by the neck and lifted into the air, unable to breathe. He rejected Wei Wei's request to share his five senses, calmed himself down, and thought about how to escape.
"Hydera," Gao Mengtang shouted hoarsely, "Hydera..."
When you call Hydra's name, he will teleport over. I just don't know where Hydra is and whether he can hear...
"Hydra."
"ah--!"
Song Chenwu screamed miserably and loosened his hand that was holding Gao Mengtang's neck. Gao Mengtang fell to the ground, covering his neck and coughing. His eyes went dark. When he came to his senses, he saw Song Chenwu covering his left arm and rolling on the ground.
It seems that Gao Mengtang guessed correctly that this magic circle would indeed harm its owner. An Ning should have activated the magic circle's attack program.
"Ahem, ahem. I told you that you should think of your last words," Gao Mengtang brushed off the dust on his body, "I am also very happy to fight with you. Farewell."
The metal sheet covering Song Chenwu's left arm peeled off. Song Chenwu's eyes were bloodshot and scarlet from pain, looking as terrifying as a wild beast. He gritted his teeth and his carotid artery bulged. While struggling, he grabbed a large angular stone with his right hand.
No way, he's already like this, and he still wants to fight? Gao Mengtang opened his eyes wide, but saw Song Chenwu raised the stone high up - hitting his left arm.
He was in so much pain that he screamed every time he was hit. The scene was so bloody that Gao Mengtang couldn't bear to watch it.
After hitting him more than ten times, only a few bones and flesh were left. When Song Chenwu was about to hit him again, the magic circle exploded, and the sudden gust of air blew Gao Mengtang away.
Li Mo's scroll immediately wrapped Gao Mengtang, leaving no gap. He stuck half of his body out of the scroll: "The power of the restoration gem. The restoration gem, one of the gems on the crown of the wise king."
"The power of the restoration gem can make the souls of the other world disappear. The identity card is made from the soul of the Moonborn, which means... the identity card is invalid."
Duan Song, He Lun and others who were affected all cried out in pain. Gao Mengtang was wrapped by Li Mo and gently placed on the grass. When the scroll was unfolded, everything was the same, and the white fluorescence fell slowly like snowflakes.
The degree of alienation of the Axe Man was alleviated, and Duan Song's dragon tail and devil wings gradually became smaller.
The wings behind Helun shrank rapidly, the armor spread out, and the red cape disappeared. He touched his body in panic: "My, my ID card, why can't I use my skills?! Sister! Sister, where are you!"
"Don't worry, you're not at the center of the explosion," Li Mo said, "The ID card is only temporarily invalid and will be restored in an hour."
Gao Mengtang looked at a small black dot in the sky: "Is it ineffective now? Then we still have to worry about it. An Ning is here."
As soon as she finished speaking, An Ning fell in front of Gao Mengtang like a meteorite, creating a half-meter-deep pit under her feet and raising dust that flew more than two meters high.
"Black Prince," An Ning looked at Gao Mengtang's mask with interest, "We finally meet."
