Chapter 339 Numb Jailer
Outside the elevator, there is another dark and far-reaching corridor - this time, it is a normal size with a height of more than two meters.

Arthur walked at the front without saying a word.The other seven people followed behind in silence.

In the deep corridor that was deserted except for them, there were only countless dull footsteps echoing for a while.

Hui Ren and Jack walked at the back.

Jack suddenly looked back at Huiren.

Keenly aware of the other party's gaze, Hui Ren naturally raised his eyes and saw Jack clenching his fists, the muscles of his forearms bulging again.

But immediately, he withdrew his gaze, didn't do anything, didn't say anything, and continued to follow in silence.

Hui Ren also nodded slightly, believing that Jack could see his movements out of the corner of his eye.
He also felt it - after leaving the elevator and entering the corridor, he, like Jack, felt that his power was suppressed had disappeared.

The same goes for the five people walking in front.

So, in theory - they could attack the seemingly undefended Arthur from behind.

As Keiren thought about it, his eyes naturally fell on the back of Arthur, who was walking at the front of the team.

No one has ever seen a bomb that can be detonated with just a thought, and it may just be a deceptive method.And even if there is such a method... can it really be impossible to divert Arthur's attention even for a moment with the ability of the seven people in power?
...So, who here is willing to sacrifice themselves to stand up and test the authenticity of the bomb collar for other people in power, or try to divert Arthur's attention?
Hui Ren unconsciously reached out and touched the collar around his neck, thinking thoughtfully.

So, although there was a certain atmosphere surging in the team, nothing happened.

The corridor was getting darker and darker, and soon it was completely shrouded in pure darkness except for the small group of light at the far exit in front.

The darkness swallowed up the surrounding walls, swallowed up those around him, and even swallowed up the road beneath his feet.Hui Ren felt as if she had lost her reference. She stepped on the foot one deep and one shallow, and felt the strange feeling of her feet gradually getting softer. She tried her best to maintain her balance and touch towards the light ahead.

He soon began to suspect that he was the only one left in this darkness.

"Jack?" So he tried to call softly.

After a long time, Jack's voice finally came from behind,

"...flesh and blood..." The fighter suddenly let out a subtle sigh and fell into silence again.

But the road to benefiting people is finally a bit more comfortable.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the team finally arrived at the bright exit and left the darkness one by one.

When he actually came outside the exit, Hui realized that this place was not as bright as it seemed from the darkness... If it had to be said, most of his vision was actually a dark blood red.

In front of everyone's eyes, there is still a corridor.

But this corridor no longer has the modern appearance of the corridor just now, but a rough stone wall.

Under the illumination of dark torches, the corridor continued to extend forward.On both sides, stone walls separated countless rooms, while thick wooden fences separated the rooms from the corridors.

Hui Ren stared at this scene blankly, and then continued to raise his gaze along the corridor - the end of the corridor was invisible.

This scene... there is no doubt that this is a prison.Moreover, it is very ancient and huge.

"—Exit!" Among the power holders, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Hui Ren was startled and turned around, only to see that the entrance they entered half a minute ago had disappeared without a trace.

What is behind the eight of them now is a complete stone wall that is intact, and even the base of the wall is covered with moss and water.

Except for Jack and Hui Ren, the remaining people in power seemed to have known each other for a long time.

After a brief exchange of glances, a thin-faced bald man emerged from the crowd.

"Get out of the way-" He pushed Hui Ren away unceremoniously and stood in front of the stone wall.

I didn't see him making any special moves.But the strange lines on the bald head, which were not just tattoos but scars, began to become abnormally brighter and redder without any external light source.

——Until the end, the flames ignited with a "hoo" sound.

The blazing flames quickly enveloped the leader's entire head and took the shape of a lion with flying mane. It started from the neck and continued to burn downwards. Soon, the forelimbs of the flaming lion burned out of the air. Body, hind limbs, tail.

Finally, the three-meter-long flaming lion roared.

The man in power who was completely covered by the flames suddenly retreated and withdrew from the body of the flame lion. At the same time, the flame lion rushed forward and hit the stone wall.

Rushing to the stone wall, the Flame Lion raised its forepaws and swatted at the stone wall as if it were a real large animal.

--"boom".

It was like an explosive hammer hitting the wall, and the high-heat storm immediately made everyone instinctively raise their hands to cover their faces.

After a moment, Hui Ren carefully opened his eyes to look, but was immediately stunned.

Behind the smoke, a huge hole was indeed blown out of the stone wall.

...But what emerged from the hole was not the dark passage they walked through just now—it was an "outdoor" somewhere.

Red sky, red wasteland.

There were two huge blood-red full moons floating lazily on the horizon where the two sides met, as if they could not bear their own weight.

Under the red moonlight, on the strange and rugged landforms of the wasteland, various sticky and amorphous flesh and blood creations could be vaguely seen squirming. The huge mouths on their bodies opened and they screamed strangely towards the red moon.

Hui Ren was a little dizzy.This was a scene he had never seen before and could not imagine seeing anywhere on earth.

The people behind him must have had the same mood. For a moment, there was only silence in the team.

——Until the front of the team, Arthur's calm voice came: "Calm down. No need to panic, this is a known characteristic."

"Let's go, keep going." Then he paused and said again, then turned around and took the lead.

Keito followed behind, observing the cells on both sides.

——The dim firelight cannot shine very deep into the prison.

On the blood-stained straw, there are all kinds of plausible and motionless curled up. It is not known whether it is a person, a corpse, or just an illusion created by the shape of the straw.

Some of the cell doors were open, but those were interrogation rooms.There were various empty torture instruments erected inside. There were no victims on them, but the torture instruments stained with old bloodstains were exuding the fresh smell of blood.

But Huiren has never seen anything "living" or even "moving" along the way.

Although this prison is quite large, it is completely empty for some reason.There are not even one prisoner among hundreds of cells?
Hui Ren felt strange about this.

He looked down the corridor.

In the deep darkness, there was not even a wailing sound.

——Suddenly, he instinctively stopped and raised his alertness.

In the darkness ahead, a figure appeared and was walking this way.

The atmosphere among those in power suddenly became tense.

But before they could do anything, it was Arthur who stretched out his arm to stop them.

"Known characteristics." He first explained in the simplest way, and then added, "——it's the jailer."

Then he glanced at the nervous people and said, "You don't have to do anything. Leave it to me to negotiate." Then, he went up to them.

After only a few steps, the opponent finally got close enough for Huiren to see clearly.

——It is barely in the shape of a human, but it is actually more like a large insect standing upright.

Except for the face covered with a dirty cloth covered with blood, its entire body was covered in hard armor.There are six pairs of legs on the side of the body, two pairs are supported on the ground like human legs and play the role of "lower limbs", and the four pairs of "upper limbs" use three fingers to hold various instruments, such as large keys, Whips, instruments of torture, shackles, chains, spears...

Hui Ren looked at the scene around him and suddenly understood what Arthur had just said - this humanoid monster, although not human, does seem to be a "jailer".

Arthur approached the jailer.

Others in power stopped ahead of time on guard.

The jailer suddenly spoke to Arthur, and a sound like the chirping of insects came from under his face covered with curtains.

But Arthur seemed to understand immediately and quickly replied: "Yes."

The jailer paused for a while.He made a sound again, and then pointed in the direction where everyone came.

"No." Arthur shook his head and replied, "If you are not sure how to deal with it, just ask your master directly."

The jailer was silent again for a moment, and the four pairs of upper limbs slid unconsciously in the air, as if they were using all their brain power to deal with the sudden situation.

After a moment of silence, it stopped making any sound and just turned around and walked forward, as if it was leading the way.

So, everyone followed and continued to move forward.

The long corridor seemed to be finally coming to an end.There was another open and bright exit ahead, and finally the sound of human voices came - to be more precise, the sound of cheerful music.

Under the guidance of the jailer, everyone finally reached the light.

This is the intersection of the two main roads in the entire prison, a central platform that expands.If you look across the platform to other main roads, you can only see countless lifeless cell corridors extending into the darkness.

But at this time, the platform at this intersection was undoubtedly the brightest and liveliest place in this huge prison.

A fire lit by black oil burned in the deep trench surrounding the platform.The firelight reflected through the gold foil covering the pillars above, illuminating the entire central hall extremely brightly.

And on the platform, there were actually hundreds of insect-like jailers crowded together.

——Is this why the rest of the prison is so empty?In addition to the fact that there are no prisoners, the jailers are also here?
Hui Ren looked at the scene in front of him and thought in shock - So, what are these jailers doing here? 》

He rubbed his eyes, feeling that he couldn't understand.

The jailers... seem to be working hard to promote a cheerful atmosphere?

There are more than a dozen insect-like jailers on the back with multiple pairs of upper limbs, each playing multiple roles, forming a symphony orchestra playing cheerful music.

There were a dozen people dancing on the dance floor nearby.

There are more than a dozen people on the stage, stepping on big balls, walking through fire rings, riding unicycles... They seem to be performing hard in the manner of guest circus animals.

And more of them were waving their forelimbs like they were driving the atmosphere below, making insect chirping sounds.

Hui Ren's eyes finally fell on the center of the platform.

He realized that all the jailers seemed to be surrounding, surrounding, and even "serving" one person.

——This was the No. 1 and only prisoner he saw after entering this huge prison.

Sixteen particularly strong jailers were carrying a heavy bowl several meters square on their shoulders.

And on top of the throne, there stood a throne as spacious as a bed.

In the center of the throne, a very young girl, also wearing a white and light prison uniform, less than 1.5 meters tall, was rolling on it.

--roll.

The girl in prison uniform held her head and rolled around in boredom.

Get over, get over.

In the end, he still lay on his side, with his thighs raised unsightly and his chin supported by one hand.With an extremely bored and unhappy expression, he looked at the performance of the jailer below.

——Until the jailer who was leading the way let out a loud cry.The girl finally got her attention and turned to look over.

Seeing the jailer and the crowd behind her enter the light, the girl jumped up from the bed-like throne.

A look of excitement and anticipation suddenly appeared on her face. She waved and said loudly: "Are you here? Are you here? Have the new prisoners for this week finally been delivered??? Come quickly, bring them here, I will That’s all the fun is left!!”

--woman.

After Hui Ren saw the girl clearly, his first reaction was to instinctively activate his power and control the past.

But the next moment, some kind of alarm-like instinct made him desperately take back his abilities.

...That one is not human at all, not even the same kind!But, but——

Megumin covered his heart that was about to explode, and while breathing desperately, he grabbed Jack's arm.

The girl opposite him didn't even notice anything strange about him.

She just hugged her shoulders and waited for Arthur to lead everyone to her throne.

Then, she looked down at everyone with contemptuous eyes, and screamed: "You fools!! Prisoners! Those who have lost their freedom and given up hope!"

The young girl stood on the throne high above the ground, straightened her flat chest, raised her chin high and looked down at the people below, and said loudly with high emotions and a childish voice: "-Kneel down and worship! "

"Obey!"

“Because what’s above your heads is—

“Apostles born of flesh and blood.

“The serpent that gives the fruit of wisdom.

“The teacher who points out the way for all the lost sheep in the world.

"The original teacher of all mankind.

“…The Lord of Betrayal, the King of Wisdom, and the Apostle of the Light.

“And as I am merciful, I have hereby given you, the humble ones, the only privilege—praise my name as the King of Powers!

"——Come, say my name! I am the fourth son of flesh and blood, the king who rules over those in power—'Astavo the Betrayal'!
At this time, the girl also completed a complete scan of everyone.

She yawned and declared slowly and arrogantly: "Oh, by the way, if you like, you can call me by my human name. My name is... Alisa Fujiwara."

"I won't be angry, okay? Come and try...call your king this way. Kind and close, just like calling your little sister." From the high throne, the young girl looked down at everyone, but Gradually a smile of some ancient evil appeared.

There seemed to be some reverberating hiss in her voice: "I am your good teacher, let me teach you how to live under my feet."

"Because this place is 'my prison'. Therefore, I can be regarded as everyone's...'warden'."
