After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 496 Don't be afraid, we've always been here
Elius, who originally thought he could only rescue the spirit deer by forcibly breaking the cage lock, immediately gave up the idea when he saw that Liang He was interested in the lock.

Anyway, there are still several hours until dawn. If things really come to a head, we can sabotage it later without delaying things.

Moreover, since they are already here, the safety of the Spirit Deer is absolutely guaranteed, and there is no need to worry that Elitell will send someone to poison him.

"I feel that this lock is related to a technique from the ancient planet Blue Star."

The ancient Blue Star that Liang He mentioned is actually the Blue Star of ancient times. Because the development history of various planets in the interstellar space is different and the interpretations are different, the Blue Star is distinguished from the outside world by the name Ancient Blue Star.

The skill she was referring to was the ability to use locks without keys or passwords.

"It's not that there's no key, it's just that the key can't be taken away; it was originally left on the lock, which is why it misled you."

After listening to Liang He's explanation, Elius couldn't help but marvel at how many wonders Earth possessed.

What no one expected was that Ellitale's plan, which he thought was foolproof, was actually cracked by Liang He.

"But there's a problem. Did Elitaire deliberately use the lock from the ancient planet Blue Star because he wanted to...?"

What if Ellitale deliberately set a trap to indirectly confirm his suspicions and try to frame Liang He?

"If he puts the lock on something else afterward and then accuses you of theft, even if no fingerprints are left, just the fact that you come from Earth will make it very difficult for us to clear our names."

You can't blame the Elius conspiracy theory; this is indeed something Elitaire might have done.

However, Liang He didn't care about these conspiracies and tricks.

"Xiao Hei, in the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are nothing but fleeting clouds. Don't think too much, let's just focus on saving people."

Liang He has encountered countless dangers and conspiracies along the way. If she had always been timid and hesitant, she probably wouldn't have made it this far.

"I've been overthinking it."

Elius had to admit that perhaps because he had been tricked by Elitel so many times when he was a child, he was somewhat traumatized and did not see things as clearly as Liang He did in this matter.

"Shall we try to unlock it now?"

Of the four guards, two remain conscious, making it difficult to unlock the door without alerting them.

“This is another headset, which can also be used for short-range communication. Give it to Linglu, and I will teach him how to pick locks.”

The deer was relatively obedient in its cage, which made the guards less wary.

Judging from the guards' attitude towards the spirit deer, they probably thought he couldn't unlock the cage, so they kept him with his back to the cage, mainly to prevent outsiders from rescuing him.

"it is good."

Elius used his snake tail to wrap the earpiece, silently bypassed the guards, returned to the Spirit Deer's side, and then relayed Liang He's words.

Without any hesitation, Linglu carefully and quickly put on the headset, even using her hair to cover it up so as not to be noticed by the guards.

"Hello... May I have a drink of water?"

After putting on the headset, the spirit deer deliberately made an excuse and slowly walked to the location of the cage lock. Then, it raised its pure, innocent, and bewildered deer eyes and stared longingly at the guard.

Considering that Elitaire had only asked them to take good care of the Spirit Deer and that he valued the Spirit Deer highly, the guards did not make things difficult for the Spirit Deer's reasonable requests.

"Wait."

The guard told his companion to keep an eye on the spirit deer, while he went to the corner where supplies were stored, took a bottle of water, and handed it to the spirit deer.

"Drink up, don't try anything funny." "Thank you."

The deer showed no fear or anger towards the fierce-looking guard. After accepting the water bottle, it even gave him a gentle smile, which made the guard too embarrassed to urge him any further.

After the deer drank about half a bottle of water, it obediently screwed the cap back on and returned it to the guard.

Seeing how obedient he was, the guards momentarily forgot that Linglu was an SSS-level beastman and became increasingly less wary of him.

"Little Deer, I'm Liang He. Now I'll teach you how to pick locks. You don't need to make a sound; I can see you."

Seeing that the time was right, Liang He instructed Ling Lu to move gently and slowly, and absolutely not to let the guards realize that he wanted to unlock the lock.

Knowing that Liang He was watching him, Linglu calmed down and nodded slightly without revealing her intention to cooperate.

【first……】

Because she couldn't make large movements and had to be constantly alert to the guards turning around, Liang He spoke very slowly when teaching.

Elius and the little gray mouse, on the other hand, kept an eye on the sleeping guard and the guard with his back to the cage, respectively. If there was any unusual movement, they could pretend to be ordinary animals and distract the guard.

"This lock sounds really complicated..."

On the other side, Holder and Reina, who were guarding the hacker and keeping a close eye on Liang He and the others' actions, felt their heads were spinning just from listening to Liang He's description.

They couldn't even imagine what kind of lock it was that required such a complicated method to open.

"As expected, it has to be Ah He. She can even open such a difficult lock. She's amazing!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the hacker had temporarily shut down their audio so as not to interfere with Liang He's teaching, Reina showered them with compliments without restraint.

Even if Liang He can't hear, it doesn't stop her from being a member of the praise squad.

"I hope everything goes well for them, as long as they successfully switch the deer and the gray mouse... Wait, it seems we've overlooked something."

Holder suddenly realized that even if the deer and the little gray mouse were successfully switched, it would probably not be easy for such a big person to leave under the guard's nose.

After Holder voiced his concerns, the hacker surprisingly remained silent.

"It should be alright. According to the information we just received, there are four guards. Two of them are sleeping, and the other two are guarding the cage, but they are facing away from it."

There are four directions in total. As long as Linglu finds a way to hide in a corner from their blind spot and then slowly figure out a way to leave, it shouldn't be too difficult.

After all, Liang He and Elius are still around; they'll definitely come up with a way to escape.

"So the key now is to absolutely not alert the guards. Once they become aware, it will be impossible to complete the plan quietly."

Liang He, who had no time to pay attention to Holder and the others' concerns, was teaching Linglu to complete the final step of unlocking.

However, at this very moment, a sudden change occurred—

"Jingle Bell!"

A sudden bell rang, startling the spirit deer, which instinctively revealed its antlers and extended them out of the cage to block the lock, preventing the guards from seeing that the lock had been mostly unlocked.

Perhaps feeling guilty, Linglu didn't dare to breathe too loudly, afraid of being discovered, and could only close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.

As Linglu listened to the approaching footsteps, his heart pounded, and he couldn't tell whether his breathing was slow or rapid, until he heard a voice coming from his earpiece.

Don't be afraid, we're always here.
