Chapter 201: Death Arrived
Moreover, this mess that Qing Chen created immediately distinguished all the people from several forces, so that Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan, who were watching, could distinguish all of them very quickly.
ONE was also watching.
Ye Wan said, “Boss, giving him the taboo ACE-005 is really a gift to the right person. It takes half an hour for you to change your appearance, but he can become anyone he saw instantly. If there is no AI constantly watching to compare the height, stride, and behavioral habits, it is impossible for him to be found in a city with a population of tens of millions…”
Lin Xiaoxiao tugged at his arm.
Ye Wan glanced at Li Shutong’s solemn expression and quickly said, “Of course, I didn’t mean to belittle you, boss.”
“No, you can’t be blamed for that,” Li Shutong sighed, “I’m sad about my Middle-age Health Knowledge Manual.”
Lin Xiaoxiao: “…”
Ye Wan: “…”
“Alright, let’s arrange for those not here for the forbidden items to be transferred to another prison. Transfer them in groups. Finish before nightfall,” Li Shutong ordered, “It’s about time for you two to settle this situation.”
…
…
When Liu Hao and others were arguing, they suddenly saw Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan walking down the stairs.
Lin Xiaoxiao clapped and said with a smile, “How exciting. I should’ve recorded what happened just now. With so many people sent in by the two consortiums, all of you have fallen for a single man’s tricks?”
Chen Yu turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, “So it was you?”
“Oh, no, no,” Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, “You see, I was surprised just now too, but I do want to praise how great of a job the imposter did.”
When the two walked down the stairs, Chen Yu walked in front of them, and behind him were hundreds of other prisoners. They blocked the way like a massive wall.
Lin Xiaoxiao asked cheerfully, “Aren’t you afraid that my boss is still in Prison 18 right now?”
Chen Yu also laughed, “If he is really here, how can he tolerate us running wild like this? Besides, do you think we have no way to kill him with all of us here? Demigod is just a respectful title, and it doesn’t mean he’s invincible in the world. He is still human. My friend, in this technological era of today even superhumans like him must also lower their heads.”
“Oh? What made you think you can be compared with my boss?” Lin Xiaoxiao looked confused, “If my boss is able to be killed as easily as you have said so, then where have you been for the past eight years? How come I’ve never seen you here?”
Chen Yu sneered and said, “Eight years ago, if it isn’t for the old man from Li Family insisting on protecting him, promising that he would never leave Prison 18 again in his life, he would’ve been dead. But now, he has broken the agreement himself, and the old man of the Li Family doesn’t have much time left anyways.”
Ye Wan said calmly, “You’d better not mention that old man.”
Du Hao’s expression was stern, but he didn’t dare to say anything.
“You must have been mistaken.” Lin Xiaoxiao was calm and composed in front of hundreds of prisoners. He suddenly laughed and said, “If you hadn’t detained my boss’s friends, there would be no way to trap them here. Do you really think that you can stand shoulder to shoulder with a Demigod by taking hostage of his friends?”
Lin Xiaoxiao asked word by word, “Are you worthy?”
“Li Shutong, locked up in a prison because of emotions and friendship, is still human after all,” Chen Yu said with a smile, “So, will he go to save his friends tonight or guard ACE-002? Which one will he choose?”
Chen Yu and the others were willing to wait so long because they knew Li Shutong might show up outside the prison.
They could only execute their plan if they could confirm that Li Shutong wasn’t in prison tonight and wouldn’t return.
Hiding in the crowd, Qing Chen suddenly understood that his master also had something important to do today: Save his friends.
At this time, Lin Xiaoxiao’s expression had turned cold, “Get out of the way.”
Chen Yu smiled and waved to the back, allowing the dark wall of people to branch out a passage.
There was a moment of peace in the prison.
Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan sat at the dining table and whispered something, while in the distance, Chen Yu sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed and hundreds of people surrounding him.
Guo Huchan was the only one who was alone. The people Spades got had already been caught by Qing Chen and transferred to other prisons…
Countdown 7:00:00.
At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, two hours before nightfall, Du Hao and Xie Yinggeng were conspiring.
At this moment, the icy metal storm on the ceiling suddenly began to rotate slowly, vaguely locking the ballistic trajectory above the heads of all the prisoners.
Surprisingly, this time, not only the metal storm loaded with rubber bullets was activated, but also 36 metal storms loaded with live ammunition!
As the icy metal storm swirled, the penetrating sound of electricity and gears came from overhead.
The next moment, the alloy gate of the prison square was slowly lifted, and dozens of mechanical prison guards stood outside the gate, holding guns.
A calm-voiced announcement sounded in Prison 18, “Inmates with the following numbers gather at the gate, 039212, 039213…”
The voice said 48 numbers before finally stopping.
Du Hao and Xie Yinggeng looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.
“Why would they suddenly transfer a large number of prisoners?” Du Hao was puzzled, and he said to his subordinates, “Check the respective numbers. Make sure none of our men are being transfered out.”
It took quite a while to get everyone transferred in here in preparation for their plan. So, it would be bad if they were transferred out at a critical moment.
The Qing family represented by Du Hao, and the Chen family represented by Xie Yinggeng, reached a settlement first because the number of people they had here was about the same. They wanted to capture Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan before settling the dispute between themselves.
It was because of Chen Yu’s arrival that the balance was broken.
If his strength was further weakened, then both would be sidekicks tonight!
The next moment, one of his subordinates happily reported to Du Hao, “None of our people have been transferred away. They were all ordinary prisoners.”
Du Hao was also happy to hear the news.
However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man among the transferred prisoners looking back at him expressionlessly.
Wasn’t that the high-level master that the Qing family has quietly sent in?!
Others thought that Du Hao was the boss in this operation, but in fact, this middle-aged man was the boss who had been hiding behind the scenes and directing!
Du Hao’s mood suddenly took a U-turn. How could he let his boss be transferred out of here?!
He stood up immediately and shouted at the mechanical prison guard, “No, you can’t send him away!”
As soon as he stood up, three of the metal storms above his head locked their guns on him.
The middle-aged man shook his head, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Du Hao’s face was pale, while Xie Yinggeng laughed loudly, “Who’s the villain now?! Qing Family also secretly sent in high-level superhumans, and you did it well before us!”
The middle-aged man was a very patient hunter. Even though Guo Huchan tried running away with a Forbidden Item, he didn’t make a move.
However, he did not expect that it was precisely for that reason that he was identified as an ordinary prisoner and was being transferred away!
What a sudden change of events!
Moreover, Prison 18 was fully armed and guarded, giving them no chance to struggle.
The 72 metal storms overhead were specially designed for the Demigod level, and this was the only prison in the entire federation that could hold Demigods!
At this time, Du Hao’s eyes swept over the prisoners, and he quickly found a problem. There was not even a single person from the consortium on the list of those who were transferred.
Someone suddenly said, “These are all the prisoners transferred here with us. Some of them just committed petty thefts and some committed fraud. They are all sentenced to less than 15 years in prison!”
During this period, 1,239 prisoners were transferred to Prison 18, of which 721 were from the consortium, and the rest were criminals used to deceive others.
These criminals who were transferred to other prisons committed a variety of crimes, but none were severe.
Neither Du Hao nor Xie Yinggeng were idiots.
If all these criminals were transferred away, then only the people left were those who committed severe crimes and people from the consortium!
Du Hao felt a chill down his back.
“So that’s why that guy pretended to be Xu Linsen just now! He wanted to separate us and transfer those not involved away!” Du Hao said.
But what on earth do they really want to do?!
The more Du Hao thought about it, the more terrified he felt.
One of his subordinates came up to him and said, “Boss, we have tried many methods, but we still cannot get in touch with the people outside. Our equipment should be fine, so Prison 18 must have activated its signal shielding device. “
“Why,” Du Hao murmured, “Why did the device get activated now…”
The timing of the activation seemed to be deliberately coordinated with something.
“Wait,” Du Hao turned and ran towards the alloy gate that was slowly closing, “I request transferring to another prison!”
