Chapter 1735 Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey
When I turned around, Su Su was standing perfectly intact in front of me.
I looked Su Su up and down three times, making sure she hadn't lost any parts and hadn't shrunk in height, weight, or build. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief. "Can you walk through walls?"
"No, there are restrictions on the walls!" Su Su shook her head.
I quickly asked, "Can you pick locks?"
"No!" Su Su shook her head again.
My heart sank. "Then can you blast the door open?"
"Blast it open?" Su Su looked at me strangely. "Do you think I'm a cannon?"
I almost collapsed. "Then what did you come in here for? To chat with me?"
Su Su was so angry that her face turned red. She casually pushed the door, and the cell door opened by itself. Su Su pointed at the door and said, "Didn't it just open? What's so hard about getting out?"
I stared at the door in stunned silence for a long time. "How did you do that?"
"Pure luck!" Su Su said simply.
"Luck?" I quickly went to the cell door and looked it up and down several times. The cell door was not damaged in the slightest. Where did the luck come from?
Looking at the cell door wasn't wasting time; I needed to know how likely Su Su was to open the door successfully.
Without knowing that, I couldn't proceed with the next step of the plan.
I accidentally touched the door and heard a rattling sound from inside.
I quickly grabbed the door and shook it a few times, confirming that something was indeed rolling around inside the door.
The situation seemed to be that the cell door had not been maintained for a long time, and my punch had broken a part in the lock, which led to Su Su opening the door with a casual push.
Is this luck?
If you think about it carefully, this was indeed due to luck. The probability of such a coincidence occurring was too low.
Coincidences in the world are often due to luck.
Just like Old Liu said: when you're lucky, even if you fall off a cliff, a tree branch will catch you; when you're unlucky, you can even find a rat turd in imperial cuisine.
When I turned to look at Su Su, the latter said, "Fortunately, you killed the Qiyun Master (Luck Master) of the Reincarnation Division back then. Xiao Maor and the others helped me set up a formation to draw all the remaining luck from the Reincarnation Division over here."
"Although this luck can't help you defy the heavens, it's enough to help you block one or two tribulations."
Su Su meant that luck is not only not omnipotent, but it's also not inexhaustible. It can only play a role at critical moments.
It should be used sparingly!
After I came out of the cell, I pointed at the cell door opposite and said, "Su Su, kill the guy inside."
"Didn't you say I couldn't hit you? This time, I'll find someone I can hit."
"Su Su, give him hell!"
"You..." The person inside immediately begged for mercy. "Lord Li, please have mercy on me! I'm just a small fry, otherwise they wouldn't have sent me to do this kind of thing!"
I couldn't see the situation in the cell, but I could hear the person kowtowing repeatedly.
I sneered, "Get up! I still prefer your arrogant look from just now. I hope you can maintain it for a while longer. Su Su, do it!"
Su Su struck the cell door with her palm.
Prison cells can block the *gangqi* (internal energy) of martial artists and isolate secret techniques, but they can't block luck.
Luck is formless, intangible, and omnipresent.
Once it descends, it's irresistible.
With one palm, Su Su drew away the misfortune from several nearby cells and poured it into the space where the person was.
I couldn't see the flow of misfortune, but I could feel some bad things that might happen in the future brushing past me and squeezing into that cell.
Before long, I heard screams from the cell.
After a while, the person couldn't shout anymore, and only the sound of fingernails scratching the ground remained in the room.
Although that sound wasn't as piercing as a person's screams, it was even more frightening.
I asked curiously, "What exactly happened to that guy? Isn't he a ghost? How can he still scratch the wall?"
Su Su spread her hands. "I don't know what specific situation he encountered. However, I know that ghosts are actually the same as people. They can feel pain. Maybe the misfortune has brought back the pain he experienced in his life."
I narrowed my eyes and looked at the cell. "Then let him suffer even more, preferably in a way that makes him wish he were dead."
"No problem!" Su Su raised her hand and struck the door three times in a row.
The person in the cell screamed for a while, then went crazy and slammed against the door, then whimpered weakly. The entire prison was filled with the person's screams, and there was no other sound.
And that was the result I wanted.
There must be more than just me and Ye Yang as prisoners in this prison.
The people who can be locked up here, even if they are not extremely vicious, are unruly and rebellious. Moreover, the more secure the prison, the more terrible the serious criminals imprisoned in it.
If I want to uncover the secrets of the prison, I have to deal with them.
I don't have time to persuade the prisoners in the cells one by one, so killing the chicken to scare the monkeys is the simplest and most direct way.
I'm going to use the person in the opposite cell as that "chicken."
