"Everything listens to Brother Tianâs arrangement!"
This kind of obedient Ding Hui is not often seen...
They rented a carriage, taking the boxes and luggage.
"Giddy up!"
With a whip down, the two headed to the Forest Snake Gangâs base.
...
Foolish Underworld, prison cell.
"Cough cough cough!"
Humblebane Plague suddenly felt unwell and painfully suppressed a low cough with a hand over his mouth.
"Master?!"
Zhao Wutian, with red eyes, stayed by his side.
"Shh!"
Humblebane Plagueâs stern gaze swept over, but it was already too late.
Some of those pretending to sleep around had suddenly awoken, their eyes scanning over this way.
This was a mixed cell, with members interwoven and complex. Even Humblebane Plague didnât dare to say how long he could last under the keen eyes of these people.
Two months? One month? Or even... just a dozen days?
Perhaps one morning, heâd suddenly have his throat slit by these cell inmates, dying silently within the prison.
If he were to die, his disciple would have no way to survive either.
Humblebane Plague didnât fear death, but he was afraid his future hope, his blood and sweat dedicated Direct Disciple, would be trapped in this dark, sunless prison from now on.
"Wutian, fight to the death... Even if fighting to the death, I will get you out of this cell!"
"Master!"
Zhao Wutianâs tears were already flowing. He hated his own helplessness, but without strength, he was powerless against the current situation.
"Itâs all... Itâs all that demonâs fault!!"
His spirit was twisting.
He secretly clenched his fists, transferring the pressure of his own inability to his enemy.
Only in this way could his tight pressure have slight relief.
"Wutian, come behind me!"
As Zhao Wutian thought of this, his master Humblebane Plague suddenly stood up, looked around with a tense expression.
Those figures lying like corpses in the corners of the cell had somehow quietly approached a bit, slowly closing in.
Gulp!
Zhao Wutian clenched his fist, his mood tense to the extreme...
At this moment.
Tap tap tap.
Continuous footsteps came from outside the cell.
The silhouetted figures that approached instantly behaved, lying down in place like energy-saving animals, motionless.
"Whewâ"
Humblebane Plague also let out a breath of relief, his tense nerves relaxing.
But as the series of footsteps gradually approached, Humblebane Plagueâs brows began to furrow.
"Over here! All of you behave!"
It was the prison guard of the Foolish Underworld, escorting new prisoners over.
Humblebane Plagueâs heart was moved.
This was an opportunity.
The moment the guard opened the cell door, he could rush out with his disciple.
But then... in the vast Foolish Underworld, how could he escape with his disciple alive?
His restless emotions calmed down, and by this time, the cell door had already been opened by the guard.
"Get in there!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three figures were thrown into the cell.
One of them reacted quickly, seemingly scared and thrilled, hurried to the corner, hugged themselves tightly, shrank in the corner trembling, seemingly making faint sobbing sounds.
A woman?
Humblebane Plague was a bit stunned.
Next were the other two guys, though visibly tense, they were much calmer than the woman. The two moved together, silently found a place to sit, naturally blending into the prison environment, showing no signs of being newcomers.
"All of you behave!"
After the guards closed the door and left, suddenly someone in the cell spoke.
"Hey! You! Itâs you! I remember you!"
Humblebane Plague remembered this guy speaking, none other than the young man previously called Brother Tian at the inn.
Since Brother Tian was arrested with his followers, in prison, it meant he brought his own little power, intimidating others, and temporarily there was no trouble.
At this moment, seeing the newly imprisoned cellmate, he, along with his little brother, headed straight for that person.
Humblebane Plague observed closely; Brother Tian wasnât aiming for the stronger individuals in the duo, but the one with a slightly weaker presence.
"No sense of vision."
Humblebane Plague withdrew his gaze. No matter what, the sudden addition of several people disrupted the situation in the prison, giving him some breathing room. He needed to recover quickly to ensure his combat strength, thus guaranteeing the safety of him and his disciple.
However, Humblebane Plague didnât know that Brother Tian was discussing a major prison escape!
"Little Locksmith [Cao Fubi]! It really is you!"
Brother Tian lowered his voice, speaking excitedly.
The thief looked bewildered.
Who are you? Do I know you?
"Brother Cao may not recognize an insignificant guy like me, but Brother Cao, donât you want to escape this prison alive?"
Of course I do!
Cao Fubi glanced at the expressionless Meng Huoke beside him, seeing no reaction from him, then asked Brother Tian in a low voice.
"Do you have a way?"
"Not me, itâs you who has the way!"
What?
Me?
Cao Fubi was dumbfounded.
He looked again at Meng Huoke, then at Brother Tian.
"How could I possibly have a way to escape...?"
"No! You have it! Iâve heard about Brother Caoâs skills; even the lock of a wealthy householdâs treasury, you can unlock and rob. Canât you unlock this trivial prison lock?"
Cao Fubi was speechless.
Is that the same?
A minor wealthy man has just some money. Heâd find a time, sneak in on a dark windy night, unlock the lock, take the stuff, and run.
But this is the damned Foolish Underworldâs prison!
What good is unlocking it? With so many officials guarding outside, how do you expect me to escape?
Seeing Cao Fubiâs concern, Brother Tian spoke in a low voice.
"Brother Cao, donât worry. Just unlock the lock; leave the rest to me! As long as the lock is opened, I guarantee we can escape!"
Brother Tianâs full confidence left Cao Fubi bewildered. He looked again at his superior, Meng Huoke, who now showed a hint of interest.
They were from the Rebel Army, their work was opposing the Official Office. Escaping would naturally be best; staying here was like waiting for death.
Luckily, after Jinfang Zai caught them, he suddenly had a backlash from demonization, going berserk momentarily like a demon losing its mind. He quickly regained sanity but hurried back to his residence to recuperate, ordering his men to keep them alive until he could interrogate them personally.
Otherwise, they might have already been killed in the street.
Before Cao Fubi expressed further doubts, Meng Huoke spoke as the representative.
"How confident are you? Whatâs the specific plan? When can we act?"
Brother Tian showed a confident smile.
"Tonight, we can act! I will discuss the detailed plan with you later!"
Meng Huoke and Cao Fubi exchanged glances.
"Alright! Weâll follow your arrangements!"
The Foolish Underworldâs prison isnât one that just anyone can escape from; there are numerous situations to consider. Meng Huoke could only take a gamble, staking his life.
After all, he couldnât count on the Rebel Army rushing into the Foolish Underworld prison to rescue him; that was unrealistic.
As for this Brother Tian, although his aura wasnât strong, his confident speech suggested he might have been planning this escape for years in prison, just missing the puzzle piece that was the locksmith?
Thinking of this, Meng Huoke felt a bit fortunate, glancing sideways at a woman crouching in the corner, silently crying with her head down. He hesitated, frowning, then sighed.
In the end, they were all part of the Rebel Army. If it worked out, they might as well take her along.
Meng Huoke still believed he encountered an experienced prison breaker.
But in fact, Brother Tian hadnât been in prison much longer than he had.
"Brother Tian, with the lockpicking problem solved, what about the escape?"
A subordinate asked quietly.
Brother Tian cast a cold glance.
"Whatâs the rush! I have my ways! Stand guard for me; Iâll take a nap first."
"Nap" was a code for logging off.
The subordinates naturally understood.
Brother Tian fell asleep instantly.
And in reality, he bounced up from his bed.
Hurry hurry!
The worldâs in desperate need!
Clap clap clap clap clap!
He frantically typed on the open computer screen.
"Urgent call for help from the world! Thunder City offering huge rewards to skilled rescuers! Huge rewards!!!"
He sent out the headline first, quickly edited the content, and exaggerated the price to lure people in before worrying about the rest.
