People in prison basically have a regular routine... because they themselves do not have the right to change this routine at will.

Because of this, prisoners usually have very healthy biological clocks, and all of them can go to bed early, get up early, and eat on time.

From two to four in the morning, it can be said that the prisoners sleep the most deeply, but at this time, the prison guards are working normally.

Different from ordinary prisons, the four deputy wardens, 36 wardens, and all prison guards in the Ninth Prison all work in 24-hour shifts; and the number of people on duty and the intensity of security in the night shift are completely different from those in the day shift. Unanimous - even if all the prisoners are fast asleep in closed cells at night, prison guards will still patrol and stand guard as usual.

The reason is, in a word...this is the Nine Hells.

Who knows what the prisoners locked up here will do, and the longer it is at night, the less likely they are to relax; in fact, nighttime is the most common time for prison breakouts, and one should be more vigilant than during the day.

But tonight, this place welcomes an uninvited guest who "cannot be alerted".

In the early morning, at 2:50, several smart probes located at the top of Section E in the southern part of the "Abyss Wall" discovered something strange.

Although the computer immediately gave feedback information that "a suspicious target climbed over the high wall and entered the wall," the monitoring personnel who received the reminder did not take it seriously. After watching the real-time video, they said, "They did not see anything." Something worth noting may be some small animal scurrying in."

The abnormal situation did not end there. In the next five minutes, the hidden sentry probes hidden inside the wall also sent out signals, indicating that they had tracked a suspicious target; these smart probes all have night vision and heat sensing functions. The program being run also has strong identification capabilities... Generally speaking, even if a target the size of a squirrel or a bird triggers the tracking mechanism of the probe, it will be automatically filtered out within a few seconds; it can allow many The thing that generates alertness with two probes must be at least larger than a dog.

However, the surveillance personnel confirmed the images captured by each probe that sent the signal one by one, but did not find any "noteworthy" targets at all...

Regardless, out of caution, they decided to send a few people to the scene to take a look. So, two prison guards wearing full mechanical armor set off.

They came out from the level closest to the ground in the Nine Hells. Relying on the night vision ability of the armor, they moved forward quietly in the dark night. They touched the area where the probe that sent the signal was located. After carefully searching twice, they finally No abnormalities were found in the report.

Then they went back.

When we came out, there were two people. When we came back, there were three people.

The extra person is naturally Lilia.

The few steps she took to sneak in were all designed by Zi Lin long ago... taking advantage of the weaknesses in Lilia's powers (currently Lilia can only eliminate the sense of existence of things in the cognition of intelligent life forms, but affected by The program-controlled machinery will still observe its existence and respond normally), but can create such opportunities.

After entering the gate of the Ninth Prison, Lilia threw away the two prison guards (these two were male guards, and she was going to the women's prison) and walked towards the elevator alone.

She had walked this stretch of road more than once and was no stranger to it, so she quickly arrived at the elevator door on the side of the women's prison.

As mentioned before, if you want to use the elevators in the Nine Prisons, the first thing you need is a set of fingerprints and irises belonging to the prison staff. Secondly, you also need to know the elevator button table that changes according to time.

At this time, Lilia was undoubtedly well prepared; when she got off the shuttle, she had already put on a set of "iris contact lenses" and "fingerprint gloves", and in case there was a shift of prison guards tonight The temporary change was made to prevent her from encountering any accidents on the way here and causing the forged irises or fingerprints to be damaged... In addition to the set she was wearing, there were two spare sets in the suitcase she carried.

These three sets of irises and fingerprints came from three different prison guards. The time of collection... was actually completed several months ago.

Although these people working in the Nine Prisons enjoy a life similar to the "Witness Protection Program" during their rotation in the outside world, this is meaningless to the Inverse Cross; the Inverse Cross who possesses the "Book of Hearts" must learn from these ordinary people. Obtaining information from people is like picking out objects... Zilin can easily find these prison guards who are on vacation in the outside world.

Taking the female prison guard as an example, the simplest collection method is to try to steal the target's powder box, and then replace it with a modified powder box that looks the same but actually contains a collection device; when the target uses that substitute to touch up her makeup, the fingerprints The powder and box will be left on the body, and the irises will be scanned and recorded by the lens hidden behind the small mirror... After the collection is completed, just exchange the things back.

Of course, there are other collection methods. In summary, any mirror that the target may look at can be used to steal irises as long as it has been manipulated in advance. Any object that the target may touch can also be used as a medium to steal fingerprints. .

As for the time comparison table for elevator button function changes...just look through the "Book of Hearts" to find out.

To sum up, there were no technical difficulties in Lilia's infiltration; after she waited for the elevator, she first used her superpower to eliminate the "sense of existence" of the elevator, and then took out the card that could communicate with Zi Lin in real time. "Letter", followed the other party's prompts to start the elevator and pressed the button to go to "Fengquan Order".

Because the "sense of existence" of the entire elevator has disappeared from people's awareness, even though this "unmanned elevator" reached the bottom of the prison, it did not attract the attention of the prison guards.

More importantly... until Lilia removes her ability, no one else can use that elevator anymore because they have completely ignored the existence of this thing.

Not long after, Lilia arrived at the bottom of the Nine Hells. She walked out of the elevator and continued walking along a metal corridor.

After walking for more than five minutes, she came to a T-intersection; this was the same as the top floor. The corridor opposite the intersection could lead to the elevator on the men's side of the prison.

Lilia did not go there, but walked towards the middle passage. After walking more than ten meters, a metal wall with a completely different color from the surrounding corridor appeared in front of her. In the middle of the wall was a thick-looking security door.

Also relying on her irises and fingerprints, Lilia passed here easily and immediately entered the "Fengquan Order" detention area.

When walking in this corridor, although the cell doors on both sides were closed and people in the corridor could hardly see the scene inside the cell, Lilia could still clearly feel an invisible oppression. feel.

She could understand just by intuition...the people and things that were not human beings imprisoned here...were what a group of terrifying existences.

"Don't be afraid." A few seconds later, Zi Lin's words appeared on the letter, "They can't come out now, and even if they come out, they won't notice your presence."

Lilia didn't deny her fear, because she knew it was useless. She just asked in her heart: "Are you sure it is a good idea to let these guys out?"

"What we do has nothing to do with so-called 'good' or 'bad'." Zi Lin replied, "Rather than struggling and hesitating on such subjective and superficial issues, it is better to focus your energy on the task. .”

"Tch... just say it's a 'good idea' and that's it. Why are you teaching me a lesson?" Lilia replied unhappily.

"What? So you are the kind of woman who wants to hear 'simple answers'?" Zi Lin continued, "I can indeed respond to most of your questions with some words that you like to hear and can shut you up directly. question, and achieves my goal as well…but is that really good?”

"Okay, just wait for me..." Lilia realized deeply that it was unwise to argue with Zi Lin. She suppressed the evil fire in her heart and changed the subject, "Let's talk about the mission first. Which one?"

"It's the one on your right in front of you." Zi Lin replied.

Lilia saw the instructions and stopped at the door of the cell. Then she squatted down, opened the suitcase, and took out the injection inside.

"What should I do now? Do I need to remove the ability imposed on myself?" Lilia asked.

"Yes." Zi Lin's answer was concise and to the point.

"I must first state that there is a probe above my head at the moment. The alarm will sound as soon as I release my ability." Lilia reminded again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her voice was conveyed... suddenly!

The lights suddenly changed and the alarm bells sounded.

In an instant, the entire corridor was enveloped in dark red light, and an alarm sounded from nowhere.

"Don't worry, Doctor and the others have already started taking action." Zi Lin responded immediately, "We are also heading towards the main entrance. While the garrison force is moving towards the outside, you should hurry up too."

Lilia scanned this sentence in two lines and immediately released her ability. At that moment...in this "Fengquan Order", several people discovered her existence instantly, and Nini...it was One of these people.

"You're not a prison guard...who are you?" When Nini asked this question, he had already climbed up from the bed and walked to the door behind him.

Although she was mentally prepared in advance, Lilia was still a little surprised when she saw Nini's face through the iron bars of the small window.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is... I'm here to save you." Lilia said, opening the food delivery port under the cell door from the outside, and threw the injection in her hand, "Hurry up and put it in This injection goes into the blood vessel first.”

"What is this?" Nini was not a fool. He could not inject an unknown injection into his body given by a stranger who suddenly appeared. He had to at least ask.

"Something that allows you to secrete hardened saliva at an extremely fast speed." Lilia replied, "Don't ask me about the rest, I don't know. If you had intelligence, you should have noticed... Time is running out now, you While you were talking nonsense to me, the prison guards were..."

Before she could finish saying the words "come here", the door at the end of the passage had already opened, and three figures in mechanical armor had already entered her sight.

"Hey!" At this time, another voice sounded, attracting Lilia's attention, "Are you from Zilin?" The person who asked this question was undoubtedly Yingwei, who was in the cell to Lilia's left.

"Is there something wrong with your question?" Lilia replied, reaching out and patting Nini's cell door, and urging, "Hurry up, you bastard! I'll give you ten seconds!"

The current situation was very bad. Lilia did not expect that the prison guards would come so quickly. In this flash of lightning, she had already settled an account in her mind: if she was held back by these three prison guards, she would have no time to help Nini. Escaped, and if Nini couldn't get out, with her fighting strength... she would be subdued at most until a certain deputy warden arrived, and then the entire prison robbery plan would go wrong.

On the other side, Nini is worthy of being a superhero. At this critical moment, he also took the injection and stabbed it into his arm.

At the same time, another sentence suddenly appeared on the letter paper in Lilia's hand.

"By the way, I lied to you about something..." Zi Lin said.

"Damn you..." Lilia was already cursing in her heart before she read the next content.

The second half of Zi Lin's words is: "...from the perspective of mass conservation alone, it is impossible for that injection to cause Nini to secrete a huge amount of oral secretions in a short period of time, so you don't need to use his Secretions create tools to dismantle prison doors.

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, you should understand... If you really need to use tools to dismantle the door, I will just give you a non-metallic product that is hard enough. There is no need to use something made from Nini's secretions."

"Then what is this injection used for?" Lilia wanted to get angry on the spot, but she knew that now was not the time to get angry, so she quickly asked more constructive questions.

"You should step back a few meters before we talk." Zi Lin answered the question inappropriately.

Lilia didn't have time to think too much, because the prison guard who rushed forward was about to rush in front of her, and she had to retreat.

It was too late to say, but it was too soon, but Lilia stepped lightly, jumped, and easily dodged back more than two meters; at the same moment, the door of Nini's cell suddenly made a "bang" sound. , the entire door was blown away from the door frame, and hit the prison guard who rushed forward.

The prison guard was really miserable. He was like the stuffing in a sandwich biscuit. He was caught between the flying cell door and the door of Yingwei's cell. He and his armor were crushed into a pulp.

After a breath, in the horrified eyes of the two prison guards behind, a hand of a non-human creature... touched the deformed door frame that had lost its panel.

"Hiss-hoo-" Accompanied by a round of heavy breathing, Nini, who looked very similar to the Predator, slowly leaned out of the cell.

The way he looked at this moment didn't look like a superhero at all. That ferocious face and full of murderous intent... it wouldn't be inappropriate to say he was a monster in a horror movie.

"The dose calculation is really accurate..." After Nini walked out, he first turned to look at Lilia, "Huh... if there's just a little more... I might not be able to stay sane..."

"Don't move!" Before he could finish his words, the two prison guards next to him raised their right wrists and aimed at his head.

"Okay, I won't move." Nini, who had always been calm, actually showed a bit of aggression at this time. He looked at the two prison guards and said, "Come on, shoot them in the face."
