At 3:45 a.m., the Seventh Prison - "The Long Night of the Lower Spring".

When Uncle Xue came to this floor, Fang Xiangqi was already standing under the hole in the ceiling waiting for him.

Looking at the corpses of the nearby prison guards and the crowd that was rioting, Uncle Xue opened his mouth and asked, "What is the situation now?" ”

"The control room on this floor was blown up by a few stubborn guys, so I had to manually go in and release the prisoners." Fang Xiangqi replied.

"Is the cell door open and closed manually?" Uncle Xue wondered.

"By 'manual', I can also say 'hands-on'." Fang Xiangqi raised his right hand as he spoke; Then, for a brief moment, a shadow of a giant beast's claw appeared around his palm, and then returned to normal.

"It turns out that you don't change your body and have this ability......" When Uncle Xue saw this scene, he immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Yes, I'm like a monster in it, even if I don't show my original form, I can use some magical powers." Fang Xiangqi shrugged, answered in a joking tone, and then changed the subject, "By the way, what's the situation above?" ”

"There's a bit of a block at the gate, but it's not a big problem; Lance and Solid have also suppressed the male prisoners of the 'Burning of the Springs' and the 'Massacre of the Bitter Springs'. Uncle Xue replied.

"Hmm...... And your presence here means that the 'Nest Demon' has been dealt with too, right? Fang Xiangqi continued.

"Yes." Uncle Xue nodded in response, "Although it's only temporary, he definitely won't come to disturb us until the end of the operation." At this point, he paused, then glanced around again, "So...... Has Jack gone down already? ”

"It's been a few minutes since I walked." Fang Xiangqi replied, "Come with me, I'll take you to the 'entrance' on the next floor." ”

When Uncle Xue heard this, he didn't say anything more, but followed silently.

Unlike the top three prisons, the sixth prison of the nine prisons, "Dark Spring Evil", the fifth prison "Yin Spring Cold Night", and the fourth prison "Cold Spring Poison", do not each occupy an entire floor, but the three prisons share the same floor; Since there has been a noticeable decrease in the number of prisoners from the sixth prison onwards, it is not necessary to occupy an entire floor of space in each prison.

Of course, although they are on the same floor, the three prisons are still separated from each other, and each prison is still fully staffed, that is...... The level below the seventh prison has three times the security force of the upper prison level.

"This is it."

Not long after, Fang Xiangqi led Uncle Xue through the detention area of the seventh prison and came to a gap in the building like a cliff.

Wherever they passed, the prisoners retreated to make way for them; Even the kind of vicious prisoner who is beating the prison guards and making a lot of trouble, as soon as he sees Fang Xiangqi, he will immediately change to a pleasant face in the next second.

Uncle Xue was not stupid, he saw the huge paw prints left on the wall and the ground, as well as the alloy prison doors with neat incisions that were torn open like tofu, combined with the performance of this group of prisoners nodding strangely at each other, it was not difficult to guess what had happened before......

"You got this entrance?" After coming to the gap and standing still, Uncle Xue first glanced at the "cliff", and then said to the other party.

"Ah, I gouged it with my claws." Fang Xiangqi responded, "Because the structure of the next layer is different from the upper layers, in order to facilitate further invasion, I went to this area to dig a road. ”

"That'...... I'll go down too. Uncle Xue said again.

"Hurry up, it's too late to go, and I guess it won't be anything to do with you." Fang Xiangqi said, turning around and walking back, "I'll wait for you on this floor." ”

…………

At the same time, the first prison, the "Decree of the Spring", was in the corridor outside the detention area.

A man in a suit and leather shoes and meticulous hairstyle stood in front of the prisoners.

At his feet, there was a convulsive, predator-like humanoid creature lying twitching.

"Go back to your cells, or ......," he said, glancing at Nini on the ground, "...... That's what happened to you. ”

At this moment, because Lilia has entered the "underworld", her connection with this world has been cut off, and her ability to use the elevator has naturally been lifted.

Under Nini's leadership, the prisoners who escaped from the cell eliminated all the guards and the chief of the prison on this floor, and robbed them of their armor and weapons, all the way to the corridor near the elevator.

However, it was here that they encountered what may be the biggest challenge in the entire prison escape plan - the Supreme Commander of the Nine Prisons, the Warden of the Prison, Aki Shoichi.

Aki Masaichi doesn't have any "nicknames", and he doesn't need any nicknames.

In the Federation, as long as people who have reached a certain level know that the three words "Qiu Zhengyi" represent the "BOSS of the Nine Prisons"; He is one of the highest combat forces of the entire federal power, even compared to the "Guardians...... is also a character who is not inferior, or even better.

Although Nini, who is in a "state of violence", is already very strong, in front of Qiu Zhengyi, it seems that he has no power to fight back; With one move, Nini fell to the ground and was dying.

"Don't make me repeat the same thing......" After a few seconds, seeing that the crowd was not moving, Qiu Zhengyi spoke again in his deep voice, "Immediately unarm the men you snatched from my men and go back to your cell in ten seconds...... If anyone has not done so, they will be killed! ”

This time, he accentuated his tone and gave more specific, time-bound instructions.

The prisoners who can be locked up at this level are definitely not idle people, and they all understand it...... At the moment, the situation is completely in the hands of Qiu Zhengyi; What the prison warden said was by no means just exerting pressure, but in the face of prisoners who were "in the process of escaping," he had the right to punish the target on the spot and cut it down first.

At this moment, the air of despair began to spread, and the prisoners, who had finally seen a glimmer of freedom, were once again pushed into the abyss.

Some have flinched, either out of fear or out of reason.

But more people clenched their weapons tightly, because they would rather gamble their lives here than go back to hell again.

Ten seconds is both short and long.

It's short enough to give you time to think, and long enough to make you think too much.

Just when an invisible string has been taut to some kind of critical point......

Bell Boom –

The sound of metal falling to the ground shattered the suffocating silence.

Then came the second and third tones...... I saw that the prisoners took off their armor and threw away their weapons.

Within moments, all the prisoners were disarmed.

However, under this situation, the expression on Qiu Zheng's face became even more serious than just now.

It is true that the prisoner lost both his weapons and armor, but ...... None of them turned around and returned to their cells, but their eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"Damn......" Aki Masaichi quickly realized what had happened in those ten seconds.

For a person of his level, the observation of energy has long been in the subtle realm, so he can determine it with the naked eye...... The abilities of the prisoners are rapidly recovering.

There are not many prisoners in this "Angry Spring Order", except for those who have been imprisoned because of their origins, political opinions, or knowledge, but all those who are capable are at the highest level of strength, and the others are above the fierce level.

Of course, Aki is not worried about what threat his life will be, and he is even confident that he can settle everyone here on his own; However, with so many fierce abilities, if each of them showed his ability and tried his best to escape...... I'm afraid he can't catch it alone.

Moreover, it is no accident that the abilities of so many people begin to recover at the same time; Whether it's air, water, or whatever, someone must have done something to make the inhibitors ineffective. Assuming that the same situation was happening in all the prison levels in the Nine Prisons, the combat power of all the prison levels, except for the deputy prison director, would be wiped out in five minutes.

In just a breath, this kind of thought had flashed through Qiu Zhengyi's mind, and ...... Decisively made a very correct decision - kill!

While these people's abilities have not fully recovered, while they are still concentrated here...... Kill! After killing all these strong people, the prisoners at the prison level above are not afraid, after all, there is still the defense system of the Abyss Wall, which is not something that ordinary people can break through.

Thinking of this, Qiu Zheng's body energy exploded, and his ability was urgent, and he was about to start killing.

Unexpectedly!

At this moment, only a "bang" was heard, and a thick arm broke through the armor plate on the ground, accurately grabbed Qiu Zhengyi's ankle, and dragged it towards the underground "forbidden area" with a huge force......

…………

On the other hand, the wall of the abyss, the southern main gate.

By this time, the "butcher", Henry Howard, had fallen in a pool of blood.

He was defeated so quickly that the jailers who saw it through the surveillance footage couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

When Darkwater attacked Henry, he didn't use any skill; Regardless of strength, speed, or energy, Dark Water is the existence of those who crush the murderous ability, and the second kill is the natural result.

Moreover, the dark water kills, without temptation, without hesitation, without playing, and without reservation...... All he wants is a result, and the result itself is not his own will.

He's just an executor with no emotion and no emotion, an executor better than any human being.

"Ahem...... Uh...... "The freezing temperatures and the constitution of the fierce ability allowed Henry to take his last breath, but it only delayed death a little.

After a round of fighting, half of Henry's torso was gone, and his internal organs were mixed with blood and spilled to the ground; He lay on his side on the cold ground, watching Zilin and his party pass in front of him, without even looking at himself.

Henry's heart was filled with grief and anger, and he wanted to shout something at the crowd, but he couldn't say anything, and he thought about it...... Even if he could, he didn't know what to say.

He wanted to claim that he stood under the banner of justice, but he didn't believe it himself.

He wanted the other party to consider the consequences of releasing the prisoners, but he soon realized that he had also been a federal prisoner.

As his vision blurred, he began to wonder why he was here and what he was doing this job for.

He began to look back on his life, what he lived for, and whether it was meaningful......

And the answer to all this is undoubtedly disappointing and sad.

"I understand."

Just before Henry was about to lose consciousness, he heard a familiar voice and saw a face—his own.

Dark Water, who had obtained a portion of his DNA from Henry, turned his face into Henry's appearance, and said to himself in Henry's voice, "I know ......"

Darkwater obtains not only mimicry abilities through DNA, but also the target's memories, which is why he said this.

"But unfortunately, compromisers who have given up the struggle can no longer choose their own way of life...... And a warrior without conviction does not even have the right to choose how to die. ”

It was the last word Henry heard, and it seemed ...... It is also a summary of his own life from the standpoint of the "superego" after thorough introspection.

…………

3:53 a.m., Fifth Prison - "Yin Spring Cold Night".

Because the fourth, fifth, and sixth prisons are on the same floor, Fang Xiangqi's entrance leads directly to the middle prison; From here to the east is the sixth prison, and to the west is the fourth.

Uncle Xue came down to this floor, originally wanting to meet Jack, but after exploring for a long time, all he saw was corpses; There were prison guards and prisoners, but not even a living person was seen.

"If you come to him, it's too late."

Just as Uncle Xue was wondering if Jack had encountered something, suddenly, a hoarse voice like terminal laryngeal cancer sounded from behind him.

Uncle Xue followed the sound and turned around, but saw ...... Ten meters away, around the corner of a hallway, a figure appeared hidden in the shadow of the corner.

The figure stretched out an arm and hung in the air, and in its hand it carried a bloody human head.

Uncle Xue naturally recognized it, and the ...... It's Jack's.

"I guess...... Are you a prisoner here? After two seconds of silence, Uncle Xue spoke tentatively in a calm tone.

"Hehehe...... Isn't that clear? The man hiding around the corner replied with a smirk.

"Then can you tell me where the one you are carrying is now?" Uncle Xue asked again.

"Are you trying to ask where his body is?" The other party smiled, "Huh...... If you're trying to collect a friend's body, I don't think there's any need for that...... You're going to die here right now, anyway. ”

When his words fell, Uncle Xue looked disdainful, and turned around to leave: "It's boring...... If you don't say it, forget it. ”

"Want to run?" When the man saw that Uncle Xue was leaving, his hoarse voice immediately became sharp, and his figure disappeared from around the corner.

In the next second, a head the size of a truck came out of the ceiling in front of Uncle Xue, and "it" came to Uncle Xue's eyes with a hideous face, opened its bloody mouth, and "rushed" down towards Uncle Xue.
