Chapter 195 Prison Break
The prison's array was a large formation containing many sub-formations. The large formation enveloped the entire dungeon, while the sub-formations protected each small room.
If a sub-formation was broken, the other sub-formations and the main formation would remain unaffected.
However, if the main formation was directly broken, all the sub-formations would also become ineffective.
It was somewhat like parallel and series circuits…
It was like an electrical box where the sub-formations were the switches for each appliance circuit, and the main formation was the master switch.
Now, Young Master Lei was about to pull the master switch.
As for the large formation encompassing the entire prison, Young Master Lei had already broken it before entering.
Wan Lei's gaze pierced through the sub-formations and landed on the large formation enveloping the entire dungeon. After studying its structure, he took out several array flags and tossed them upwards, inserting them into several key nodes of the main formation.
The array flags stabilized with the imagery of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, immediately disrupting the operational rules of the main formation. The entire main formation and all the sub-formations were revealed. Some prisoners who hadn't slept stood up, not knowing what was happening.
However, what followed widened their eyes.
The formations shattered simultaneously.
Wan Lei grinned and shouted at the top of his lungs,
"The entire dungeon's barrier has been broken by me! Brothers, get out of here! It's time to take revenge on those benevolent people who have oppressed us!"
His shout woke up everyone in the dungeon. The prisoners rose to their feet, and the bolder ones kicked at the iron doors, sending them flying.
"It's really broken!"
"Freedom! We're free!"
"Damn benevolent people, I'm going to peel your skins!"
"Kill them all! Kill all the benevolent people and return to the embrace of the Nest of Sin!"
The prisoners went mad. Not a single one thanked Wan Lei. They all surged towards the dungeon entrance.
Wan Lei flashed to the adjacent cell, tore open the chains binding Selena, and ran with her on his back.
Selena was too weak. The power of sin within her was almost depleted. Without the Nest of Sin to replenish it, and without any other channels to obtain sin,
This was, after all, the world of benevolent people.
Plus, for the past two months, she had been constantly whipped and abused, eating only swill-like food that barely kept her alive. This resulted in her being unable to even walk now.
Wan Lei carried her on his back, channeling sin into her while protecting them with Lightning Guard.
He thought these people were somewhat foolish. They all had varying amounts of sin power; why didn't they just blast open the ceiling above them?
The ground was right above, wouldn't they be able to rush out? Why did they have to squeeze towards the exit?
However, if they didn't do this, Wan Lei couldn't either. He needed these people to escape and create chaos so he could fish in troubled waters to get the core hub.
The prisoners rushed out of the dungeon. The entrance above the dungeon was several rooms where the guards lived.
Hearing the commotion below, the guards immediately got up. Before they could reach the entrance, the escaping prisoners swarmed them, kicking them to the ground.
These people had suffered abuse and mistreatment from the guards on a daily basis. Now that they had a chance for revenge, how could they let them go? They immediately swarmed forward, beating them madly.
"Leave those two for me! Leave those two for me!"
Young Master Lei roared. He generally didn't hold grudges, but he always took revenge on the spot. He had to tear those two guards who insulted him and lusted after his body into pieces.
Although his priority now was to escape with Selena, he couldn't leave a grudge unavenged.
His aura as a sinner erupted, pushing the crowd left and right.
At first, some people cursed, but when they saw Wan Lei's bloodshot eyes and the dense black aura around him, they wisely stepped aside.
Wan Lei found the two guards who had been beaten beyond recognition among the dozen or so dungeon guards. Fortunately, the two hadn't been beaten to death yet, which made him feel somewhat relieved.
He rushed to the two, and lightning condensed into two lightning balls in his hands. He hurled one at each of them.
Boom!!!
Boom!!!
Two loud explosions rang out one after another. The two were blasted into fragments on the spot.
If Wan Lei wasn't pressed for time, he would have definitely tortured these two properly, returning the pain they inflicted on Selena to them in double measure. Finally, before they died, he would have made them say a few words of repentance and begging for mercy, maximizing the satisfaction.
What a pity, what a pity.
He was in a hurry.
At this time, most of the prisoners had rushed out of the rooms. Outside was the courtyard.
And more guards had already gathered.
The two sides had an irreconcilable blood feud. The prisoners held in the dungeon were all desperate criminals who weren't afraid of death. As soon as they made contact, screams rose and fell.
Seeing the commotion below, the prisoners in the building perked up, staging a prison break.
The number of prisoners far exceeded the guards. The battle began with a crushing advantage.
Wan Lei took advantage of the chaos, carried Selena on his back, and rushed outside, flipping over the wall.
The white-robed youth followed unhurriedly, issuing the mission in a timely manner,
"Second mission: Find the core hub and escape Mapleheart City."
Yes, a side character should have the awareness of a side character. As an important NPC, the white-robed youth adhered to his duties and did very well, giving the protagonist whatever he needed.
Huh? That's not right. I used to be the protagonist too, how did I suddenly become a side character? Should I ask for the protagonist halo back? But it would be embarrassing to ask for something back after giving it away...
While the white-robed youth was distracted, Wan Lei had already escaped to a secluded place with Selena.
"Selena, where is the core hub? I'll take you to find it now."
Wan Lei fed Selena a pill and frowned as he asked.
"What's the password?"
Selena said coldly.
"Password? What the hell password?"
Young Master Lei blurted out. Did this thing actually need a password? If you didn't match the password, would you not leave with me? What was the password? Heaven King covers the Earth Tiger, Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms? Not picking up what you find on the road is a loss? ...
What should I guess?
"Alright, I believe you now. The core hub is in the city, I'll take you to find it."
"What? You were just asking for the password, and now you believe me?"
"Because there is no password at all. If you made one up to gain my trust, then you definitely have a problem.
Hurry up and go. Taking advantage of the chaos now is the best opportunity."
Damn, this woman isn't like a good person, her scheming is so deep. Fortunately, Young Master Lei is honest.
At this time, tens of thousands of prisoners in the prison had escaped. Some who cherished their lives fled into the distance, while others who had been suppressed for too long and wanted to vent their anger flew into the city and began to wreak havoc on the people.
