Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

He picked up his phone again, and found that the virtual world was his eternal haven.
"By the way, the conservation of luck is real."
Out of kindness, Duan Mingyuan reminded, "The effect of the small sachet is only three days. After that, all the luck you get from using it will be settled. In the next three days, you will probably be so unlucky that even drinking water will make your teeth ache. So I suggest you not to overdraw the luck of the small sachet too much."
Luck and misfortune always go hand in hand, and according to Duan Mingyuan's long-term research, there is only one way to lift this curse.
That is to marry a Ruihu wife and bring her home.
In this way, her luck will work on you for a long time and you will never be hit by bad luck again.

Chapter 319 Things at the Bottom of the Lake
With a heavy heart, Owl followed Duan Mingyuan into the elevator.
A quarter of an hour after he made his request, a prison guard brought them all the necessary equipment.
Of course, in the words of the prison guards, he was delivering the goods for "a friend." As for who the person they were trading with was and whether this mysterious friend was himself, that was not something they could know, and it would be impolite to ask further.
"This is normal. Every prison has such channels. As long as you are willing to spend money, someone can get you what you want."
Owl explained.
This kind of person is usually known as a "know-it-all" among prisoners, and is actually closely related to the prison management.
Besides, diving suits and lighting equipment are not dangerous items at all. Is it possible that some prisoners could use these things to escape from prison?
He was quite sure that the prison manual of Prison Planet did not stipulate that prisoners were not allowed to participate in diving.
Duan Mingyuan just nodded without saying anything, but he always felt something was not right.
So far, Owl's operations have been going too smoothly.
When they needed the location of the Eisenberg-Adler prison ward, someone brought him the information.
When they needed information about D72, someone told them the story of the previous rescuers.
When they needed diving and lighting equipment, someone took the initiative to deliver the equipment.
But in fact, what they are planning is a big event that violates prison regulations. They are going to meet the most mysterious prisoner in this prison and the prisoner with the second longest sentence. However, all objective conditions seem to be helping them.
Is this really just the effect of September’s little sachet?
An extraordinary stroke of luck transformed a heavily guarded prison into an unguarded park.
While he was thinking, the elevator door opened and the number D72 appeared on the electronic screen, followed by the description of "Black Lake".
The light in the elevator could not extend outside the elevator, and the lighting that Owl had obtained through connections was basically useless. The darkness was more like some kind of visible and intangible substance that filled the entire space of the D72 cell block.
Fortunately, there is only one road leading to the lakeside cabin in the entire prison area.
After walking in the dark for ten minutes, the two arrived at the hut. In this hut lived three prisoners with sentences of more than 800 years. This was also the end of the entire D72 prison area, because the Black Lake was a little further ahead.
No one knows how deep the lake is, and no one knows what is hidden beneath it.
Owl said that the last group of people who tried to explore this secret were buried underneath forever.
The owl knocked politely on the door, but no one answered.
"It's better not to disturb them."
Duan Mingyuan sensed the three weak life energies in the wooden house. They were like candles in the wind, which could go out at any time. They were not much different from the dying critically ill patients in the hospital.
He was very worried that these three would exhaust their last bit of life energy and die while getting up to help them open the door.
"The oxygen tank can last for 40 minutes. If we still can't find any clues after 40 minutes of diving, we will return the same way we came."
Owl suggested.
He groped, bent down, and probed the cold lake water with his hand.
It felt cool to the touch, which made him feel relieved. It felt like normal water, not some sticky and sinister liquid.
He admitted that if he had touched a handful of mucus just now, he would immediately cancel the dive plan and go back to his own home.
" "You can stay on the shore."
Duan Mingyuan could sense that there was indeed something hidden beneath the lake. It was not just the diving champion from last year who never returned, but also some kind of gold medal coach who helped them win the championship.
"No, I'll go with you."
As the saying goes, now that it is here, the owl will never let itself stay on the shore and miss a big news.
Duan Mingyuan did not stop him. He changed his equipment on the shore and then jumped down.
Then, not only the sight, but also the hearing was blocked.
He couldn't help but admire the diving champion team of the previous session. Without the guidance of life energy, people who jumped into the black lake would be completely blind and deaf. If this state continued for a long time, they would not even know where they were, let alone find someone below.
After diving for 5 minutes, Duan Mingyuan found the champion skin left by the previous champion - a pair of diving goggles.
This seems to be the place where the team was attacked. All the people are gone, and only some equipment dropped in the attack has been preserved.
The object under the Black Lake was getting closer and closer to them. The huge object seemed to have sensed their arrival and was slowly approaching.
Duan Mingyuan kindly reminded the owl that was following him, "If you have a fear of the deep sea, you'd better not open your eyes next time."
Owl just felt that these words went directly into his brain.
This is enough to show that Duan Mingyuan is gifted and a natural diver. If he joins the Interstellar Diving Group, he will definitely be trained as a future ace.
However, he did not adopt Duan Mingyuan's suggestion.
Everyone has some fear of the deep sea and giant creatures; the difference lies in whether they can overcome their fear.
Owl believed he could do it, a confidence he had developed over the years on the battlefield.
But just five seconds later, he realized that he was extremely wrong. In front of this suddenly appearing object, he felt like he was nothing.
As the object appeared, a dark red light appeared under the lake.
This light was brought by the huge object approaching them, and its purpose was to make it easier for them to see the attacker before they were attacked.
The owl saw only one eye.
He couldn't tell what creature's eye it was because it was so huge, so huge that just its wide-open eye filled the entire space at the bottom of the lake.
After looking into the eyes for a second, the owl closed its eyes out of fear.
Who would have thought that such a thing was hidden under the lake in the D72 prison area?
The reason for the disappearance of the previous diving team has been found. The next question is whether they will follow in the same footsteps?
"You never give up, do you?"
The two heard a familiar voice underwater, a mechanical synthesized voice without any emotion. It looked into their eyes and issued a final warning, "There is nothing you are looking for here, only... Warning, Error, Error Code 1721, Signal, Interruption, Abnormal life signal detected, executing the annihilation order."
The mechanical synthesized sound suddenly became harsh, and a red light flashed under the black lake.
Apparently due to some unknown malfunction, the object entered a combat stance.
Something else was approaching them rapidly.
With the help of the red light, Duan Mingyuan could see clearly that it was a palm.
The palms made crushing movements, so big that it felt like the whole world was pressing down on them.
He found the skin left by the previous diving champion on his palm.
Crushed diving suits and equipment reveal the final fate of those people.

Chapter 320
"Enchantment."
Duan Mingyuan calmed himself down. He didn't want to fight with the Judge, but the huge creature sinking to the bottom of the lake seemed to have malfunctioned and looked like it was going to kill them.
It was inconvenient to negotiate at the bottom of the lake, and he couldn't use his sword skills, so he had to solve the problem through force.
At first there was a thin crack, and then the cracked parts connected into a net, causing the palm to disintegrate and fall at the bottom of the lake at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It is being executed, it is being executed—"
The mechanical synthesized sound became louder and louder, until the cracks spread all over its body.
The cracked creature opened up a new path for the two of them - its huge body was connected to the bottom of the lake, and after the torso also shattered, a passage leading to a deeper place appeared before them.
Duan Mingyuan had a vague guess of what was further down the passage.
Before the creation malfunctioned, it mentioned that what they were looking for was not here, as if to persuade them to leave.
If the prisoner held here was not Eisenberg-Adler, then it was another person whose only thing left was his sentence and whose name was unknown to anyone.
Judging by his sentence alone, he is undoubtedly the most vicious criminal on Prison Planet and even in the entire universe.
The judge treated him with extreme caution, even creating such a huge creation to guard in front of the prison.
Fortunately, Duan Mingyuan was more skilled and defeated the opponent with a slight advantage in this encounter, otherwise he and the owl would probably have followed in the footsteps of the previous diving champion and been crushed by this huge creature like a bug.
Duan Mingyuan hesitated briefly.
Their target was Eisenberg-Adler, not 1721, and they seemed to have no reason to deal with this evil party imprisoned in the deepest part of the prison, but there was another voice calling him deeper in the prison.
As the creation was destroyed, the only remaining light also dissipated, and Duan Mingyuan saw the owl's frightened face.
Although the dangerous scene just now made Owl terrified, it did not extinguish his spirit of "since I'm here now". He used up his last bit of strength and gestured to Duan Mingyuan to continue diving.
Behind the hatch is a place similar to an aircraft isolation cabin.
The hatch no longer belonged to the D72 prison area. The boundless darkness dissipated and red light shone down.
The isolation cabin seemed to be in alarm state. As soon as the two landed, a rapid alarm sounded, followed by a shaking sound coming from the opposite room, which was the sound made by the chain colliding with an object.
"here it is……"
Owl suddenly thought of something and blurted it out. He looked around the isolation cabin that kept issuing shrill alarms, and his eyes became more and more certain.
"Do you recognize this place?"
"When Eisenberg-Adler was young, he was accidentally sucked into a wormhole on his way back from an academic forum. All the people on the spacecraft died, and he was the only one who escaped on the lifeboat. When the rescue team of Universal Company arrived at the location of the spacecraft, he had been in this small space for 17 days."
Owl always researches the stories of each interviewee in advance, and this anecdote about Eisenberg naturally did not escape his eyes.
It is said that since then, Eisenberg has suffered from severe claustrophobia, and this place is undoubtedly the place that Eisenberg fears the most.
But in this case, Eisenberg's daily living environment is far from what the warden Norton has advertised. Norton mentioned that Eisenberg's daily living environment is almost the same as when he was in the company. Universal Company arranged a laboratory for him and equipped him with the most advanced artificial intelligence to replace his assistant.
It now appears that Norton is suspected of false advertising.
The sounds of a struggle on the other side of the hatch grew louder and more frantic.
The friction between the iron chains and the tables and chairs became louder and louder, and the people who made the noise stomped their feet in anger. Only after all the noise and the alarm of the isolation cabin were lifted did Duan Mingyuan knock on the door.
"Damn it, I've told you countless times, when will you understand that I am the real Eisenberg-Adler!"
The man imprisoned in the hatch roared.
Eisenberg-Adler?
Just as Duan Mingyuan was hesitating whether to open the cabin door to find out what was going on, a cold arm was placed on his shoulder.
The mechanical prison guard appeared out of thin air again.
It was like an NPC with a bug in one of those crappy games that suddenly appeared behind them.
"Mr. Duan Mingyuan, you shouldn't have come here."
The mechanical prison guard reminded him, seemingly not taking his destruction of the giant guard seriously, "You shouldn't communicate with the people in here."
"So, you have actually been violating the company's instructions and have imprisoned Dr. Eisenberg here without permission, so you forbid anyone from approaching this prison area?"
Owl stood up and said that he felt that given the Judge's madness, he might really do such a thing for "justice."
This is the place that Eisenberg-Adler fears the most, and it is consistent with its usual methods of torture.
"The person inside is not Dr. Eisenberg."
"We all heard him speak just now."
"Are you sure you want to see the people inside?"
