Chapter 96: Bizarre Prison
After a long time, Shangguan Yi opened his eyes.
"Do you have an idea?" Rykage asked him quickly.
"If the next door is in prison style, then everything makes sense. Shangguan Yi pondered the words and gave such a reply.
When Linguang heard him say this, he thought for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that the scene of the next level is inside the prison, and we have to fight a way out of the prison?" But the scene inside doesn't seem to have anything to do with the prison. ”
"Yes, it's just that it may not be as you think, fighting and killing to open a bloody path to the next level, but outwitting. I don't know if you have noticed the first sacrificial text left by the Lord of the Heavenly City, which says that this Iron Hall was built according to one of their actual experiences, although the gatekeeper is a trap beast, but it is quite real. If you haven't forgotten, the door before entering this tomb, that is, the sacrifice before the first level, tells some stories about the owner of the tomb, one of which is that after the owner of the tomb was betrayed, he was captured by the enemy, tortured but did not ask for mercy, and finally managed to escape from prison with his own ability. Shangguan Yi said what he thought of sentence by sentence, and the more he said, the more shocked and excited Linguang and Lie Ying became.
Unexpectedly, the Lord of the Heavenly City would design the level like this, hiding the clues so secretly. If they weren't interested in the text, if they didn't recognize the style of the door, then they wouldn't have thought of the prerequisites here, and if they weren't associative enough, they wouldn't have thought about the two things in tandem. Even if the Lord of the Heavenly City hinted at the origin of these levels in his first sacrifice on the pillar, who would have thought that?
Unless this person really understands the routine of the Lord of the Heavenly City.
"If that's the case, then our role is that of the owner of the tomb, and once we're all inside, we're sure to trigger the mechanism to make the prison come back to life, and then there's the real test: finding a way out. Linguang continued to speculate.
"This may be the problem, this level may be the hardest, or it may be the last. Shangguan Yi finished his guess with a wry smile, which sounded inexplicable, but it was faintly like this.
"What do you mean by that?" Lie Ying was surprised and delighted, the most difficult level, the last level, since Chantaido dared to say it, it proved that he was at least somewhat sure.
"First, we don't know the rules in the prison, don't use the current rules to figure it out, we are facing a prison designed by someone who doesn't know how long ago, and the rules are all based on the prison he used as the prototype, and experience may not work. Second, we don't know whether the role assigned to us by the Lord of the Heavenly City is the role of the owner of the tomb in the prison, nor how the owner of the tomb escaped, these are all unknown factors. The reason why it is said to be the most difficult level is because of these, if we can break the law with force, of course these are not to worry, but we can't, we can only look for loopholes according to the rules, if we can't find it, we may be trapped here. The reason why this is the last level is because of comprehensive considerations, if he wants to defeat us, and he also wants to leave us a way out, it will definitely not end here, and it may even require us to explore more than three tombs to find a clue to the way out, so in order not to win, he needs to take into account our supply problems. We've been in for almost a day, and in two days' time we have to go out, or we'll run out of ammunition and die here, and no proud person would be happy to see that happen. Shangguan Yizai carefully analyzed the psychology of the Lord of the Heavenly City, which seemed to be very reasonable.
"So do you know how to pass this level?" Hua Xiangrong, who didn't know when she leaned over, asked aloud, in her opinion, no matter how difficult this level is, it doesn't matter if it's the last level or not, what matters is how to pass the level. No matter what the scenery is after that, if you can't pass this level, it's all in vain.
"You can only improvise, let's observe first. Shangguan Yi said helplessly, although he guessed something, but it didn't really play a big role, and it didn't really change the situation. He is not a god, how can he know everything, he can guess anything.
"A little reckless. Hua Xiangrong frowned a little, Shangguan Yi obviously meant to enter the next level first, and then respond according to the changes. Such decisions are generally made by masters, and he is naturally calm and unhurried against people who are inferior to him, and it is nothing to lose the opportunity. But compared to the arrangement of the Lord of the Heavenly City, their squad is a weak chicken.
"It's the only way, after all, I've really found all the clues, but I still don't have the idea to break the level, so I can only improvise. Each level tests the same, but there are slight differences in subtleties, maybe this time it's the turn to test the ability to adapt to changes, right?" Linguang smiled bitterly and shook his head, they had no choice.
"Well, tell the team members, don't panic and listen to the command in case of trouble, don't act casually with your own judgment, and then we can set off. Shangguan Yi thought about it, and added this additional sentence, maybe this level will be really inexplicable, and ordinary people may not understand it or adapt to it.
For Shangguan Yi's words, Lin Guang and Lie Ying were a little unimpressed, with the overall quality of their team members, how could they act without obeying the command. This command was purely superfluous, but they still said it according to Shangguan Yi's meaning, even if it was only superficial.
Those who say it don't think so, and those who listen don't care.
The second child and Hei Peng rectified the team members of Gale and Junfeng, divided them into teams, and officially began to set off and march to the third level, and success or failure may be in this move.
Shangguan Yi and Hua Xiangrong fell behind, and followed them slowly to the back of the altar.
"This book... Don't you want it?" After walking to the altar, Hua Xiangrong saw the book, pointed to it and asked Shangguan Yi.
"I think there's a problem, it's better not to take it. Shangguan Yi explained.
"What's the problem? If you don't want it, I'll want it. The things left behind by the Lord of the Heavenly City are always good, even if they are taken out and sold, this name alone is enough to sell for tens of thousands of taels of silver. Hua Xiangrong pursed his lips, a little despised Shangguan Yi, everyone said it was a reward, what are you afraid of? The Lord of the Heavenly City doesn't make a fuss about rewards, right?
"Who said I don't want it, don't even think about it, it's mine!" Shangguan Yi saw that Hua wanted to get it, so frightened that he hurriedly ran over, got the book one step ahead of her, and put it in his arms without reading it. He did feel that there was something wrong with this book, so he didn't want to take it with him, but since Hua Xiangrong wanted to take it, it was impossible to keep it here. Instead of letting her take the risk, it is better for Shangguan Yi to take this suspected poisonous gift and wait until she goes out to give Hua Xiangrong. After all, no matter what, Shangguan Yi is invincible, and with all kinds of hole cards, his life-saving ability is much better than Hua Xiangrong in most cases.
Hua Xiangrong: "... Cheapskate. How could she have thought that Shangguan Yi was this reaction, she was stunned for a moment, crying and laughing, but she was not angry. It wasn't her stuff in the first place, and she didn't value it too much, but she thought it was too brutal to leave it here for ashes, so she wanted to take it. The hell knows that this guy actually played such a hand on her, heh, sooner or later you will be good-looking.
"Hmph, let's go, don't be left behind. Shangguan Yi didn't answer her words, and walked a few steps quickly to keep up with the big army.
Hua Xiangrong stomped her feet, glared at him, and quickly followed him. It would be really bad if you were left here, after all, the unspoken rule here is that the doors that were originally opened must be closed by the mechanism, and the doors that were originally closed must be opened by them. The door of the third pass is open, in line with the first half of the sentence.
"This gate is indeed in the style of a prison, and it is almost certain that the third level is designed according to the prison, but I don't know how similar it is. Lin Guang and his men stopped in front of the open door of the third level, carefully observing, trying to find any information that had been overlooked.
However, nothing was found.
Expedition teams are naturally professional, they will find all the information they can find, and if they miss it, no one else will try to find it.
"Let's go inside. Rimlight and Shadow glanced at each other, giving up the struggle, but they couldn't find a clue.
Team after team of people followed the words of Linguang and plunged into the boundless darkness, no matter what awaited them in front of them, they had to face it.
"Wow, that's big!"
"Empty. ”
......
"It's... It's a little too weird, isn't it?" Shangguan Yi walked through the short road of the third level, and after really entering the third level, he couldn't help but exclaim.
However, when Hua Xiangrong was the last to come out of the corridor, with the sound of the door closing, the whole world seemed to shake, the earth shook, and a wall drilled out of the gap in the stone slabs, forming the prototype of a small room. It turns out that those strange patterns are the walls that are indented into the ground!
"Watch the top of your head!" Lin Guang shouted, with a hint of horror in his voice.
His shout caught everyone's attention, and they looked up with a blank look in their eyes. The next moment, a look of horror was irrepressibly revealed, and iron pillars about two fingers thick fell from the sky and fell into the holes that appeared at some point, jamming the last side of the room. Then a wall fell from the sky, clasped parallel to the ground on the four side walls, and became the ceiling of these prison rooms.
The person who was originally standing next to the hole crawled away from that place, the power is not a joke, being smashed is definitely either death or injury, there is an extra hole in the body every minute, and it is the kind that is breathable.
Shangguan Yi looked at this side in confusion, as he expected, the scene of the prison was produced, and the role of the original candlestick was also explained, this is what is used for lighting in the prison, and of course the lights must be lit all the time in the dark place. However, why did he always feel that something was wrong? Looking at his own up, down, left and right, and then at Hua Xiangrong, who was locked up in the prison, Shangguan Yi suddenly realized.
Hana wants to be in a cell, but he's in the hallway!
"Trap beasts move, be careful!" Someone warned of the movement of the trap beasts, and the others followed his line of sight to find a group of humanoid trap beasts, that is, the jailers here, patrolling along the corridor with lights.
In the corridor they patrolled, there were also two members of the team who had not yet reacted, looking at the jailer with a wary expression, still holding weapons in their hands.
The jailer seemed to see this and drew his weapons and rushed at the two of them.
How should a group of enemies rush towards the two of you?
The answer, of course, is running, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and it is difficult to beat many people with few people.
But what if you two have a bunch of teammates standing behind you?
The answer, of course, is to fight, beat him, and the battle just now was not happy, so it just continues at this time, and fight again! And in this tomb, if they don't fight a bloody way, they don't want to go back alive, they already have the courage to fight to the death.
Just as the team members wanted to meet the enemy, they heard Shangguan Yi shouting loudly: "No one is allowed to move! No one is allowed to move! Put away the weapons, the people in the corridor quickly enter the cell, the door is not locked! Listen to the command, don't act rashly!"
Yes, even if this is a room sealed by iron pillars, it still has a door to enter and exit, and the iron pillars can be modified to a certain extent with mechanical techniques, and if nothing goes wrong when it falls, it can indeed open the door from the outside and walk in and close it again, pretending that you are always inside.
It's a pity that the long knife that is cut out may still be able to forcibly change direction and strength, but the hidden weapon thrown out can't be recovered. The two who thought they would definitely fight had already launched a long-range attack when the jailer was a certain distance away from them, but who would have thought that Shangguan Yi would suddenly issue such an order?
I'm afraid that only other people who are a little away from the two of them can stop in time and set their eyes on Linguang and Lieying, even if Shangguan Yi performs well, he is still a working boy, who the real boss is, they still know.
In other words, they listen to Shangguan Yi's orders if they think there is no problem, and if they feel that there is a problem, they will depend on the boss's opinion, unless the boss is entangled by the enemy and can't even say a word, otherwise, they will not blindly obey it. For example, now, the war is about to start, and the two brothers are about to exchange fire with others, and you tell me that there is a unilateral truce, and you are like a shrunken turtle? Did I hear it wrong or did you kid have a brain twitch? Can this order be given by a human being?
Linguang and Lieying still remembered what they discussed before, even though they knew that it was not appropriate at this time, they still chose to give up the car to protect the marshal, and supported Shangguan Yi's judgment, without him, there were really too many jailers. At this moment, five teams rushed out, a total of thirty-five, and the combat effectiveness is not known yet, so I am afraid that it will start to fight rashly... It's tragic.
"Listen to him, stay out of the edge for the time being. Linguang gritted his teeth and said this cruel command. Lieying also issued an order with similar meaning, but the meaning of grievance was not so obvious.
Because these two people are king-style.
So Linguang is distressed, but there is no way.
Almost everyone seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water, and the people in the corridor opened the door next to them and got into the cell, and the people who had opened the door and wanted to rush out to help retracted their feet, silently went back, and closed the door as if nothing had happened.
After Shangguan Yi finished saying that, he opened the door and entered Hua Xiangrong's cell.
Is it ruthless? Yes, but who wants that?
In full view of everyone, the two men were beaten half to death by the jailers, and then dragged to the center. At this time, everyone had time to notice the astonishing number of torture instruments in the center of the prison, and when they looked at each other, the scalps of those who looked at them were numb. There is no need to think about it, these two people will definitely be punished, and as for whether they will enjoy such treatment, it depends on the future turnaround.
In the end, the jailers did not torture the two men, and gave them tickets to the underworld very happily.
Beheaded!
Assaulting a jailer is a capital offense.
Shangguan Yi watched this scene and quietly wrote down this first rule in his heart.
"What should I do next?" Hua Xiangrong asked in a low voice next to Shangguan Yi, for fear that they would hear.
"Let's take a look. Shangguan Yi said in a small voice, he actually doubted that these trap beasts had five senses, and if they were, in this era, it was simply a miracle. So he spoke with this level of voice to see if any jailers would react.
As he expected, the jailers did not seem to hear him at all, and did not even turn their heads to look at him, but returned to their groups, and returned to the place where the patrol had been interrupted by the two men, and continued the unfinished patrol from there.
"I think they're deaf and can't hear what we're saying!" Shangguan Yi shouted, loud enough for all the jailers to hear, but still no one paid attention to him.
"It seems to be true. One of the team members muttered quietly, and the jailer next to him walked past him without looking at him.
"Do you have a way to deal with them?" shouted the second child, who was far away from them, but unlike the previous two, this time one of the jailers drew his whip and slammed the cell door, and there was a lot of movement. This is a warning that if you do it again, you may be punished.
Shangguan Yi looked at the scene in front of him, a little puzzled, he and that person were fine, but he was warned when he got to the second child, what went wrong?
"Is it too loud?" said Ryoka in a whisper, again ignoring the jailer.
"I don't think it has anything to do with this. Shangguan Yi shouted in a super loud voice and expressed his opinion at the same time.
With a bang, a jailer opened the door, pointed at Shangguan Yi, hooked his fingers, and motioned for him to come out.
Shangguan Yi: "..."
Could it be that it really has something to do with the size of the voice?
This change made everyone's faces change, if Shangguan Yi was to be killed, would they still not be on it, what was the purpose of the sacrifice and forbearance just now? If not, Shangguan Yi's death would be equivalent to half a brain dead, and the road behind would be even more difficult.
Hua Xiangrong pulled Shangguan Yi's sleeve and motioned him not to move.
Shangguan Yi tore her hand away, pinched it, signaled that it was okay, and then walked out of the cell and followed the jailer to the center.
Shangguan Yi's performance along the way made the people of these mercenary groups pinch a cold sweat, and he made all kinds of grimaces, gestures, bared teeth, and even pretended to attack the jailer. But the jailer didn't react until he seemed to pretend to attack the jailer, and the jailer looked at him squarely, only when his fist missed, he twisted back as if nothing had happened. It's just that Shangguan Yi, who didn't know what to do, repeated this action twice, the first time the jailer didn't react, the second time the jailer looked at him squarely, and then twisted back.
What he was doing, the clever people guessed one thing, and that was to grope the jailer's behavior pattern, knowing that they would not be able to defeat the enemy, and if they knew how the jailer acted, then the next thing would be easy.
Eventually, Shangguan Yi was taken to a shelf and handed over to another jailer to deal with.
At the time of the handover, the moment the two jailers clasped their hands, Shangguan Yi squinted his eyes, as if he had discovered something unexpected.
The color of the hands seems to be different. Even though the jailers were deliberately dressed and even covered their faces, their hands were still exposed when they interacted, and the hands of the jailer who brought him over were golden, and the hand of the jailer who seemed to be going to torture him was silver.
"Crack!" the jailer picked up a whip that wasn't too cruel, at least there were no barbs on it, and the jailer flicked the whip in the air and walked over to Shangguan Yi.
Will Shangguan Yi be beaten stupidly?
The answer is no, those actions just now were testing the jailer's reactions, neither hearing nor eyesight, and some may just be keenly aware of internal forces. The first two times Shangguan Yi spoke, he didn't use internal force to assist, and the third time because he had to shout it out in a loud voice, he subconsciously used internal force to assist, so it triggered the current result. However, although it is a sin to make a loud noise, it does not lead to death, so the punishment given to Shangguan Yi is caning.
On the way to the center, Shangguan Yi's temptation further proved his guess, these jailers really don't have five senses, the three pretended pseudo-attacks, in fact, he didn't use internal force, but the first time he subconsciously changed the speed of his internal force flow, the second time he deliberately controlled the speed of internal force flow, and the third time he deliberately slowed down a little, the result was that the jailers reacted once or three times, and the second time he did not react. Therefore, their sensitivity to internal forces may have reached the level where they can know the slightest change in the flow of internal forces, which is terrible, but it is also a pity.
If they really have five senses, then it is difficult to find loopholes to make a fuss, but they don't, and the perception of internal forces cannot replace the role of the five senses, because that can deceive people.
"Smack!" The jailer came over with a whip, Shangguan Yi shook his body, as if he didn't move, the internal force flow remained unchanged, the position remained the same, the movement was extremely small, and he didn't even bring the wind up.
The jailer with one whip as if nothing had happened, whip after whip, and after ten lashes, it put the whip back and interacted with the jailer, who brought him back to his cell.
The others looked at this scene, and there were groups of divine beasts running by in their hearts, and the three views were about to collapse.
Do you dare to ask if you have accepted a bribe from this guy? Do you know that you have been drained of the whip? Not all at once, but ten strokes! Not at all! And you are the one who leads the way, what are you looking at from the side? Have you also received stolen money? Your companion is executed like he drank fake wine, and you are not going to take care of it?
No matter how messy they were, Shangguan Yi returned to his original cell, unharmed and unscathed.
After the jailer sent Shangguan Yi in, he did not leave, but put one of his fingers into a hole in the iron pillar, and with the continuous sound of clicking, the cell where Shangguan Yi was located was locked, and there were only two people in this cell, Shangguan Yi and Hua Xiangrong.
When it had done all this, it turned around and did the same for the rest of the cells, while several jailers split up and locked the cells.
This means that they are officially detained, and it also means that this level has officially begun, but Shangguan Yi and they don't know it.
The others looked at Shangguan Yi and didn't dare to speak, for fear that something would be wrong and they would be called out by the jailer and whipped. But they expressed their thoughts very clearly with their eyes: Let's share their experience and experience!
The bold Shangguan Yi naturally saw their intentions, controlled the flow of his internal force, kept it unchanged, and began to teach: "Okay, let me tell you what I found. First, no matter what, don't use your internal force until the final decisive moment, or even change your internal force flow speed, just maintain a normal speed, especially when there is a jailer next to you. They don't have the five senses, they rely on perceiving changes in our internal forces to judge our position, actions, and goals, which is tricky but also has opportunities. Just do what I say, and when you don't move your position, you don't move in their eyes, whether you speak or not, make movements. ”
This sentence is equivalent to a booster, after all, everyone can know that this is a great convenience, such as unscrupulous communication, cooperation, and so on.
"Second, under no circumstances should you attack the jailer, for those who attack him will die. This is the rule of the prison, and disturbing the order of the prison is just a few lashes like me, and it is not a big problem at all, as for the rest, I think as long as you adapt to the situation, you can still be forcibly exempted from execution. Shangguan Yi continued, the people who listened were very speechless, if the emotional people don't pursue you, you still have to get up, is this kind of thing of bullying the machine beast so worth showing off? The most infuriating thing is: If you don't bring them with you, it's a great crime!
"Thirdly, the jailer's fingers seem to have a different function, they use their hands to open and close the door, and they also use their hands to transmit information, at the moment I only know that ordinary jailers seem to be golden, and the jailers who execute are silver, there should be more than these two colors, you should pay attention to it, and gather this information as soon as possible. Shangguan Yi finally said what he hadn't thought through yet, and asked others to help, after all, his cell was in the wrong location and he couldn't see much information.
There's a saying called... All wishes come true.
The others just agreed, and they are preparing to practice maintaining the flow of internal force and doing various extreme actions, after all, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift. They are all accustomed to using internal force to assist their various behaviors, such as the second child subconsciously uses internal force when he speaks loudly, and he has to abandon internal force for a while and rely on his own body, is it really okay?
Before they had time to practice, a team of jailers walked to the door of Shangguanyi's cell, and the leader was the leader of the jailer squad at a glance.
After opening the door, the team leader stretched out his finger and pointed at Shangguan Yi, and then hooked his finger again, signaling him to come out.
Shangguan Yi: "Wronged." ”
Others: "Retribution, right? “
The jailers naturally didn't care about their opinions, and the team leader hooked his fingers again to urge Shangguan Yi, and the meaning of impatience was obvious.
Shangguan Yi stared at its purple fingers and followed him out.
Unexpectedly, this time he was not taken to the central center to be tortured, but to change cells.
Yes, it inexplicably changed Shangguan Yi to a cell very close to the center, or a single room, and drove everyone else out and only let Shangguan Yi stay in the kind of single room.
This guy really bribed these trap beasts, right?
The previous flogging cases are not mentioned, and if they knew the trick, there was a certain possibility that they would have done the same thing. But can anyone explain the current VIP room problem? Damn, take them through the back door, and the brothers in the next cell are about to cry with envy.
It turns out that Shangguan Yi really didn't bribe them, maybe he was just a little lucky.
After changing the cells for Shangguan Yi, these jailers began to divide the cells one by one, and the principle is probably that there should be no too many people in the cell, nor too few, and there must be people in some rooms.
Of course, this principle was guessed by Shangguan Yi. Without the five senses, it is even more impossible to think, even if it is their captain, except for himself, the other distributions are very casual, but there is a faint hint of unusualness, but it is not what it is.
Finally, after they had changed the rooms, they locked them up one by one, and the action was over.
The next action was a bit stereotyped, half an hour seemed to be a reincarnation, and Shangguan Yi and they finally made such a judgment after observing for an hour.
There were four quarters of an hour in half an hour, and in the first quarter of an hour, a squad of jailers made regular patrols. In the second quarter of an hour, the prisoners were tortured. In the third quarter of an hour, the crowd gathered in the corridor in a daze. In the fourth quarter of an hour, check for damage in various places. Then the reincarnation ends, and the next team is replaced.
The other three quarters of an hour is good to say, that is, the link of torturing the prisoner is really difficult, not everyone can do the same internal force flow like Shangguan Yi, but he can freely use his body to do various movements to avoid the jailer's attack, and he can still stabilize his body without moving. If you try to dodge but fail and are discovered, the number of penalties will increase, and if you fail five times... It's the death penalty. In a quarter of an hour, five prisoners will be tortured, except for those with solid basic skills, the others are selected, and either they will be tortured by them, or they will try to dodge, and if they fail, they will almost die.
In an hour, there was Shangguan Yi in the two torture of prisoners, as if he had been deliberately chosen, which also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, at least this guy could avoid it perfectly, and two less people were tested, that is, they blocked the gun for two people, and they wished that Shangguan Yi would try these torture tools every time.
There is no way, who let Shangguan Yi give such an order, even if they understand, they can't breathe that breath. It is normal to be resentful towards Shangguan Yi, and Shangguan Yi can only let them go.
There are always some things that are helpless, and you know that they are wrong, but they can't change them.
