Chapter 217 Louis's Escape from Prison
The lowest level of death row in the empire.

A damp, fishy smell wafted over, and mold streaked across the walls like blood.

Louis was suspended from the rack by heavy chains.

His once dazzling blonde hair is now covered in dirt, but his eyes still retain a burning resentment.

With a "click," the elite rebel squad kicked open the cell door.

The masked captain, tossing a scarlet pill, trudged through the blood-soaked ground to Louis:

"Lord Hong's orders: take the 'Blood Corrosion Pill,' and we'll lead you out of here."

Louis stared at the pill and suddenly sneered, the sound of his laughter making the chains rattle.
"This stuff is extracted from the spinal cord of the Blood King Beast. If you take it, you'll turn into a monster that only knows how to bite!"

He exerted force suddenly, and the veins in his neck bulged:

"Tell Lord Hong, I'd rather feed the rats here than be his puppet!"

The captain suddenly chuckled, staring intently into his eyes:

"You think that just because you signed a mental contract with Alita, the Empire won't dare to touch you?"

He nudged Louis's knee with the tip of his boot.
"Do you really think the princess's contract is a get-out-of-jail-free card?"

Louis's Adam's apple bobbed, but he didn't speak, his eyelids drooping and his eyelashes casting shadows under his eyes.

That was his last hope.

"Looks like I need to wake you up."

The captain slowly and deliberately turned on the personal terminal.

In the live feed, Alita is leaning against a pure white hospital bed, her expression of disgust clearly visible through the screen:

"Blonde hair is disgusting."

She suddenly looked up, her tone as cold as an icicle:
"Louis dared to betray me, execute him!"

The chains rattled loudly!

"You lied to me!"

Louis's pupils constricted, and he struggled frantically:

"She can't break the contract, she'll die!"

"Su An'an, together with that swan priest, broke the contract,"

The captain slowly twirled the pill, his voice like a poisoned icicle:

"Alita can't even remember your name now."

He suddenly leaned closer, his low voice full of malice, "I heard she's planning to marry eighteen more beast husbands and have a bunch of kids. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you anymore."

Louis's chest heaved violently, and the chains creaked taut.

He suddenly looked up, his pupils bloodshot.
"You're lying! Alita is mine! She could never forget me!"

"yours?"

The captain chuckled and stepped over the man's blond hair: "I feel disgusted by blond hair now."

"If you want to hate Su An'an and Seville, it's because they shattered your last hope."

"what!!"

Louis suddenly let out a roar like a trapped beast.

The iron chains snapped taut, and the rack shook violently.

"Damn Su An'an! Damn Seville! I'm going to kill you!"

His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the captain.

"And Alita, how dare she, how dare she forget me?!"

Pain gnawed at his sanity like a venomous snake.

Anger exploded in my chest.

Despair burned from the soles of my feet all the way to the top of my head.

He slammed into the rack, the alloy frame groaning, but not a single crack was left.

He was still that prisoner at the mercy of others.

The captain held up the scarlet pill at the opportune moment and waved it in front of him:
"This is your last chance."

"Eat it, and you'll be able to tear down the prison door and rush up to Alita to get to the bottom of things."

"We can also tear those annoying beastmen to shreds."

He suddenly stopped and made a move to leave.

"Of course, you can stay hanging here and wait to be minced into meat paste."

Louis stared intently at the pill, letting out a hoarse gasp.

Every second of hesitation felt like being slowly tortured.

Every heartbeat screams, "Live on!"

Just as the captain's boots were about to step out of the cell, he suddenly roared in a hoarse voice, "Give it to me!" The captain raised an eyebrow and tossed the pill over.

Louis opened his mouth and swallowed hard.

"Ah!!" The moment the pill went down my throat.

He let out an inhuman roar.

Her golden hair fell off in clumps, like a spider web torn apart by a strong wind.

Dark scales emerged from beneath the skin, layer upon layer covering the chest.

The fingertips suddenly grew into sharp claws half a foot long, the nails gleaming with a poisonous, eerie light.

"Crack!"

He ripped the chain off, and the barbed tailbone burst out of the spine, slamming against the ground with a dull thud.

The captain quickly retreated outside the cell door, watching the figure on the rack twist into a half-human, half-beast monster, a satisfied smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, a guard's scream echoed down the corridor.

Each cry was more piercing than the last, before abruptly ceasing.

The surveillance camera was splattered with warm blood.

In the blurry image.

A dark figure burst through the prison door, its scarlet beastly eyes filled with nothing but a desire for destruction.

Imperial Royal VIP Ward.

Alita suddenly clutched her chest, her brows furrowing: "Strange, I suddenly felt nauseous just now."

Su An'an picked up the emerald green crystal meat, smiled, and handed it over:
"The mental contract was just broken, it's just a side effect. This toad king's meat is the best for nourishing the spirit, eating it will make you feel better."

A sudden clap of thunder sounded outside the window, and large raindrops pounded against the bulletproof glass.

As lightning cleaved through the clouds, several wild howls could be faintly heard, as if they were emerging from the depths of the earth.

[Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Louis has escaped from prison!]

The alarm bells of the little pinks suddenly rang out in her mind.

Su An'an's pupils contracted sharply, and the crystalline flesh from her fingertip fell "plop" into the lunchbox.

"what happened?"

Alita quickly picked up the crystal flesh and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it crunchily. "Why is your face so pale all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing." Su An'an quickly smiled, her butterfly wings gently shaking off a few flakes of phosphorescent powder.
"I just remembered there's something I haven't explained to Ye Yuan and the others. I'll go out and say a few words and come right back."

"go Go!"

Alita waved her hand, picked up the lunchbox, and stuffed the crystal meat into her mouth, looking much more lively than usual.

As soon as Su An'an stepped out of the ward, two of the motion-sensor lights in the corridor went out.

Ye Yuan's figure emerged from the shadows, his black-gold scales gleaming sharply in the cold light.

"A message came from the death row: Louis has escaped. The rebels have sent an elite squad to meet him."

"All twelve guards are dead, and their deaths are quite strange."

"What a strange method?"

Su An'an frowned slightly, her face full of doubt.

"It looks like it was torn apart by a wild beast."

Night Abyss's dragon tail swayed gently behind him, the air it stirred carrying a chill:

"The surveillance footage only captured a dark shadow, moving so fast it was like teleportation."

"It must be the rebels' doing!"

Su An'an's eyes were icy cold, and her butterfly wings trembled slightly with anger:

"If only I had read Louis's memories first, he's gotten away with it!"

"The Federation..."

Before Ye Yuan could finish speaking, the rustling sound of wings came from behind.

Seville's golden wings sliced ​​through the shadows of the corridor as he landed, the screen in his hand still glowing.

"Jinzhu's genetic report has been confirmed."

He tapped the light screen, where the Federal President's signature was glaringly bright red: "The withdrawal order was issued half an hour ago, and Jinzhu is on her way to the Federation."

Su An'an stared at the signature on the screen, her tense shoulders relaxing slightly:

"Finally, something goes smoothly."

Alita's cough suddenly came from the hospital room. She immediately suppressed her anger and softened her voice:
"Don't tell your sister about Louis's prison break for now."

"Let her start her new life in peace!"
