Chapter 15: Escape
"Belle, have you figured out where you're going after escaping from here?"
After a few hours of small talk, Marlena had fallen in love with this enthusiastic and optimistic little girl, and under her influence, the atmosphere of despair in the whole prison had also turned a little around.
At the very least, the villagers are willing to talk together for a few days to ease the despair and tension of their imminent death.
"Not yet, my father has always wanted me to go to a school in a big city, and I also want to go to the library in a big city, there must be a lot of books there, right?"
Under the script given by Qiao Xiu, the image established by Eno was successfully accepted by the villagers, and she became the center of the entire cell.
It's like a group of people wandering in the cold and dark Atlantic Ocean at night and suddenly seeing an indicator light.
Although I don't know how far away the shore is, at least I have some comfort in my heart.
"Of course, there is a city called Nolan, where the book tower is hundreds of meters high. Belle, where can I take you around. ”
Marlena did not give up hope, so she imagined all kinds of beautiful things that would happen after escaping from here, and this little hope came from the little girl in front of her.
Maybe this is God's compensation for Marina? I met her at the most desperate and lowest point in my life...
If this child is really homeless, Marlena wants to recognize her as her daughter, and with her company in the future, Marlena feels that she will never feel lonely.
It's just that the premise of all this is that she can escape from this prison and have a chance to continue in her life, no... It was this little girl's life that had to go on.
So Marina began to pray to the gods in her heart, and this was the first time she prayed to the gods, not for herself, but for the girl in front of her.
Her prayers were quickly answered, and of course it was not the gods who answered her, but the demons.
Demons are definitely more efficient at handling business than gods.
There was another strange noise from inside the prison, and a crow appeared outside the cell, tilted its head as it watched the humans in the cell, and then flapped its wings and flew to the ledge next to it.
Then two figures walked out of the darkness at the end of the prison quickly.
The outfits of these two figures are not masked watchers...
"It's a magician!"
"The magician is really back!"
The villagers recognized one of them as the only one who had escaped.
They ran to the edge of the cell excitedly, holding the rusty iron rod on the edge with both hands, and the emotions were extremely excited, no less than the moment when the national football team scored a goal, and almost didn't cheer loudly.
Qiao Xiu could understand their feelings, and the joy and excitement of being in a desperate situation could not be summed up in a few words.
But now Qiao Xiu finally understands that such an event as a mass prison escape can only occur during the French Revolution.
If Qiao Xiu hadn't bought off all the jailers in the prison in advance, they would have been guillotined directly in the next second when they shouted loudly.
"Please be quiet, don't draw the jailers' attention!"
All right... Although the jailer has been watching from the sidelines all the time.
Qiao Xiu glanced at the two watchers hiding in the shadows next to him, they were there to spy on Qiao Xiu, so that Qiao Xiu would not take advantage of the chaos to let go of creatures other than these 'harmless little animals'.
But acting still has to be a full set, I really don't know how the humans in these cells know that their every move is under the watchful eye of the jailer.
But now Qiao Xiu still has a feeling, that is, 'the excitement of escaping from prison under the watchful eyes of the police'.
Qiao Xiu deliberately lowered his voice and said this sentence, his voice was very small, but the more than thirty villagers who were locked up in the prison could hear it clearly.
Because their attention at this time was focused on Qiao Xiu's body.
"He... He's mine... Teacher... Well... Teacher ......"
Maybe Qiao Xiu has read the book "The Self-cultivation of Actors", but Ciri has not read it, and it is the first time she has grown up to deceive so many people in public.
In fact, the two monitors next to Ciri were the most stressed.
But in order to see the ending of "Beauty and the Devil" as soon as possible and for free, Ciri still cooperated with Qiao Xiu as much as possible and played her role.
"I'll rescue everyone immediately, and everyone will follow me after they come out, this is the Demon Realm, and if you run around, it's not just as simple as losing your life."
Joshua played the role of a skilled magician as much as possible, and the original script of Gaston's role was supposed to be a hunter.
But... A human hunter with a musket can break through the Demon Realm, and he can easily enter and exit the prison of the Demon Realm?
The hunters of this world can't catch babies and can't use rapid fire, and in this world, melee hunters are the majority, which is the so-called witcher.
Therefore, the profession of magician with infinite possibilities is a little more believable.
The gray magic power overflowed in Qiao Xiu's hand, and in an instant, the door of the cell, which was not protected by any magic inscription, was just a piece of rusty iron.
Qiao Xiu didn't hide his unique magic power, this thing is an ultra-rare talent in the human world, if it weren't for some old great magicians, he might not have heard of it at all, let alone put it down to 'disgusted power'.
The dim and rotten atmosphere in the prison poured cold water on the agitated emotions of these villagers.
"This way."
Without hesitation, Qiao Xiu directly led the team to walk briskly towards the area where the portal established by Zenas was located.
The torture room where the portal is located is located in the inner level of the prison, but the only person these villagers can rely on now is Qiao Xiu.
Led by the friendship of the two jailers, Qiao Xiu led thirty-two human villagers all the way to the torture room where the portal was located.
The portal had begun, and a pale blue glow slowly swirled through the torture chamber.
Seeing the phantom of the forest behind the portal, the villagers completely gave up thinking and ran into the portal excitedly.
"Master Sorcerer... Pls what is your name..."
At the end of the line, an elderly woman stopped at the portal, and Joshua noticed that Ino was following the old woman.
She's the father who plays Belle... No... The role of a mother?
"Gaston, just call me Gaston, and say thank you when it's safe."
Qiao Xiu urged.
She nodded, and took Ino's hand and walked briskly into the portal.
From the moment they all stepped into the portal, the prologue of the filming of Beauty and the Devil began.
Zenas's huge body appeared at the door of the torture room at this moment, he was holding a suitcase in his hand, the size of a briefcase, but it contained Qiao Xiu's full set of filming equipment.
"I'm sorry for you, Zenas."
Josiu took the case from Zenas's hand, the space inside the suitcase was much larger than it looked, though not quite as magical as the suitcase of a certain magical zoologist Newt Scamander.
Qiao Xiu checked the equipment inside, the camera and the memory card were all in order, and there was a bottle of stealth powder to hide his body.
Let's officially begin, the filming of Beauty and the Devil.
"Ciri, aren't you going to see the end of this story? Then keep your eyes open from now on. ”
Qiao Xiu picked up his suitcase and walked into the portal.
"You write it first!"
God knows when Qiao Xiu's shooting will be filmed, if Ciri wins Qiao Xiu's fight, he really wants to press Qiao Xiu's guy in front of his desk, hold a knife holder around his neck and urge him to write the ending!
Ciri just thought about it, she didn't want to stay in a place like the Demon Realm any longer, and ran into the portal quickly.
Zenas was standing in the torture room watching Qiao Xiu leave, and he was about to take the next step according to Qiao Xiu's plan, when he suddenly smelled the smell of humans......
Zenas poked his head out of the torture room and looked down the hallway of the prison to see the figure of a little human girl running around in a daze.
She looks separated from her parents, or... She had long since lost her parents, and in any case, this little human girl was undoubtedly left behind.
She was left alone in this dangerous demon realm, and she didn't live long......
In the past, Zenas would not care about the life or death of these humans at all, but Qiao Xiu gave him the order to return these humans to their original world as much as possible.
The brave demon of sinful karma hesitated a little at this moment, and finally slowly walked out of the room of the torture room and came to the little girl.
"Human, where is the exit back to your world!"
Zenas tried to make his tone as pleasant as possible, and pointed to the room in the torture room.
But no matter how amiable his tone was, the flames that erupted from his mouth and the magma tumbling in the cracks in his skin instantly made the little girl cry out in fear.
“……”
This scene left Zenath in a tangle, if an enemy cried in front of him, he would not hesitate to tear it apart, but she was just a child... Not an enemy.
Zenas glanced at his own hand, and even if he wanted to hold the child and put her inside the portal, his sharp claws could kill her in an instant.
'You're going to be a superstar, human girls are going to scream because they've touched your mane, they're going to be proud to be standing by your side......
Zenas suddenly remembered what Qiao Xiu had said not long ago......
Sure enough, it was impossible.
Faced with this little human girl who was so scared that she couldn't stop crying, Zenas found that there was only one way to get her to stop crying.
He took his own steps, and his massive body stepped into the shadows of the side again, until it disappeared completely.
