Chapter 52 - 52: Imprisoning the Player
Several demons, wearing armor and holding long spears, were similar to the guards at the entrance of the prison with a well-organized appearance.
A dozen humans were bound by iron chains and escorted by the demons into the cave where the prison entrance was.
The chief demon said, “By the order of the Princess, lock up all these humans in the first-level prison cells.”
“Princess?” Su Nan was astonished. This wasn’t the first time he had heard this title.
When he first entered the game, the demons had been preparing to capture two humans from the prison cell, also in the name of the so-called princess.
Su Nan looked at those people covertly and found that they were all in their early twenties, showing no fear but instead looking around curiously while being escorted by the demons.
This was quite strange.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility: “These are all players!”
Then he recalled the information that Li Hao had given him earlier and instantly understood that these people had been arranged by Zhou Cheng.
“It’s quite a coincidence that I ran into them,” Su Nan said in surprise.
He had been wondering how Zhou Cheng would get the players into Kun Tian Prison, but he never thought it would be so direct.
He could even imagine that at this moment, these people were discussing in private chat channels how to kill the demons escorting them.
The guards at the entrance ignored these players, and directly said to Su Nan, “Take them in.”
Su Nan didn’t speak. He grabbed the iron chains binding the group of players and led them into the prison.
As soon as they entered the prison, without the threat of armored demons, the dozen players became bolder and directly asked:
“Is this the Kun Tian Prison that the Boss mentioned?”
“Yes, this is it. This is an advanced map. The Boss said that the imprisoned demons here are much more powerful than us, and at least 5 realms higher!”
A dozen people looked around the prison, and they didn’t seem to feel the imminent danger of being imprisoned.
It seemed that, in their opinion, they could come and go from the prison as they pleased.
Some of them also focused on Su Nan, saying, “This guy should be the first-level guard. I don’t know how many demon power points we can get if we kill him.”
“Didn’t Brother Feng say earlier? The task of killing the guards is three-star level. So, killing this guy would give us 15 demon power points.”
“When it’s twelve o’clock, there should be daily tasks related to this place in the refreshed tasks. By then, there should be a task to kill this guard.”
Everyone ignored Su Nan and openly discussed right in front of him.
Su Nan pretended not to understand what they were talking about and did not stop their discussions.
He wanted to see what these people were trying to do.
These players were not newbies. According to Li Hao’s information yesterday, one of them had achieved Demon Sutra Great Success, and the other fifteen had all achieved initial success in Demon Sutra.
Now that a day had passed, their strength had somewhat improved.
Although these people weren’t individually powerful, together, they posed a significant threat.
“Should we log out of the game now? According to Brother Feng, once we are locked in the cell, it will be difficult to get out,” one player said.
“Let’s see how this demon wants to imprison us. If he plans to lock us up together, then we won’t log out for now. If he wants to separate us, then we’ll log out immediately.”
“If we are locked up separately, it would be challenging for us to escape from the cells with our strength. So we have to log out before being imprisoned.”
“If we’re locked together, it’s actually a good thing for us. After the task refresh, we’ll be strong enough to break out, which is like completing a two-star task.”
They had already received plenty of information about the prison from Zhang Feng and had a plan for the current situation.
Hearing this, Su Nan couldn’t help but sneer.
These people chose to act at this time, which clearly indicated they had plans.
At this point, they had all completed a daily task and had a chance to log out without restrictions, so they could log out at any time.
If these people immediately logged out of the game, not to mention Su Nan, even a real Wolf Demon Guard would have no way to deal with them.
Once these players log out and then log back in, they would be in a free state again.
Even Su Nan wouldn’t be able to recapture more than a dozen players, and he could only let them explore the prison as they pleased.
But these people were not satisfied, and they wanted to escape from the cells after being locked up to complete a “Escape the Cell” two-star mission, which gave Su Nan some room to work with.
“Since you want to be locked up together, then I’ll help you.”
Su Nan directly opened an empty cell and locked all the players inside.
When the players saw this, they cooperatively entered the cell.
As they saw it, this was like being given a task and demon power points on a silver platter.
“It’s great! This stupid guy actually locked us all together!”
“As soon as twelve o’clock comes and the daily tasks refresh, we’ll create chaos, lure the Wolf Demon back, and when he opens the cell door, we’ll all rush out together.”
It has to be said these players were quite clever.
If it were a real Wolf Demon, their plan would surely be successful.
After all, even if the Wolf Demon was powerful, it wouldn’t be able to block all sixteen players at once.
This had already been verified by Zhang Feng last time.
But Su Nan wouldn’t give them such an opportunity.
He had no intention of opening the door for these players at all!
After closing the cell door, Su Nan turned around and left.
In a city hundreds of miles away from Donglin City,
Zhou Cheng and a dozen players gathered together.
“Brother Zhou, the plan is going smoothly. We not only entered the prison but were also locked up in a single cell.”
These dozen players were the same people Su Nan had locked in the cell.
Someone looked at another tall, young man, saying, “Brother Feng, don’t worry. We stole the second-level cell key from the demon princess. As soon as it’s past twelve, we’ll break out of the cell and rescue you.”
This tall young man was none other than Zhang Feng, who had been locked in the second level by Su Nan.
Zhang Feng nodded and said, “Be careful. I suspect that Wang Nan is still in the prison and hasn’t left. It’s best not to let him find our plan.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Feng. No matter how powerful Wang Nan is, he’s just one person. If he doesn’t interfere with our affairs, we can coexist peacefully. But if he wants to meddle, we’ll just have to play with him.”
“That’s right. We want to see what’s so great about his number one ranking.”
The group chatted and laughed, not taking Su Nan seriously at all.
Unbeknownst to them, Su Nan was now considering how to prevent them from escaping from their cells..
