Xingtie: Starting with an in-depth analysis of the Yellow Springs

Xing looked seriously into Danheng's eyes, "Even if we can't escape the past, you have us."

"Thank you, Xing. It's all because of me that you were dragged into the series of events on the Immortal Ship. You shouldn't have seen the scenery of the Nether Prison... I'm so sorry."

"If I have the opportunity, I hope to take you on a tour of Luofu in a better way."

[Ling: Teacher Danheng's voice was trembling, and he kept apologizing. He really cares about Xing's feelings.]

[March 7th: Danheng, Xing is right. You... and we, the Star Train family, will never be missing anyone.]

[Xing: That's right, Danheng, we've been through so much together, let's not be estranged.]

[Danheng: Thank you.]

[Jing Yuan: I apologize, it was I who called you back to the immortal boat. The Shence Prefecture will reimburse all your train expenses in Luofu this time.]

[March 7th: Oh dear, why is everyone apologizing now? I was just a witness.]

[Star: Yeah, March's right. But this reimbursement is possible...hehe.]

As Xing was idly exploring, a woman dressed entirely in black with dead fish eyes approached.

"Passengers of the train, I apologize for the wait. Judge Han Ya of the Questioning Department greets you both."

Xing had met Xueyi and Hanya before, but she didn't expect the judge this time to be an acquaintance.

Xing: "So, the judges are just the two of you sisters, right?"

The crow replied calmly yet with a hint of cunning, "What, Xing doesn't want to see me? Fine, I can summon a judge who is skilled in acupuncture and adept at using axes and saws... There are many options, surely one will suit you."

"Just kidding. Meeting me shows that we have some kind of destiny between us."

[Star: That's great! Give me ten sets, and send the bill to Shence Mansion.]

[Raven: ...]

[March 7th: Xing, how come you know people everywhere?!]

[Ling: I thought she was a cool and aloof older sister type, but it turns out to be a completely different story.]

I want the judge with the fiery tail!

[Grandpa Tail: No...you don't want to.]

After their conversation, the crow led the way for the two.

As the mechanism is activated, the circular staircases of the prison alternately form new pathways.

Before setting off, the crow warned: Watch your step and be careful where you land.

There was once a short-lived prisoner who accidentally fell... When he was found, he was already an old man.

Xing felt a chill run down her spine after hearing this. Before the crow arrived, she had leaned most of her body out, just to see how deep the Dark Prison was.

The three took the elevator to the chilling prison level.

"...It's so cold."

As soon as Xing stepped out of the elevator, she felt a chill run down her spine.

The crow chuckled softly, "This place draws in the chilling air from the North Peak of the Extreme Realm Grotto-Heaven."

"Even the most resilient long-lived species cannot withstand it."

The star surveyed the area, but the eerie, chilling atmosphere only allowed visibility to a distance of a few dozen meters.

It was dark and empty, and even the slightest sound echoed.

Xing and Danheng followed closely in Han Ya's footsteps to avoid any unforeseen events.

I heard the sound of something falling.

"Let me see what's going on," said the crow, and walked toward the source of the sound.

Chapter 158 Prison Break

"The stacked crates are really an eyesore."

There were more than a dozen cargo boxes piled up in front of the crow, marked with red danger signs.

Danheng glanced around. "These boxes... look somewhat familiar."

Suddenly, the crow remembered, "A few days ago, the underworld messengers received a summons, saying that the company's transport ship had been attacked by the Bu Li people. Afterwards, a large group of monstrous creatures were thrown into this place."

"I've never seen goods thrown into prison along with the robbers before."

Xing: "It seems the company has offended Bu Liren..."

As the judge, Raven already knew this information. The Doctors' Society, in its pursuit of pushing the limits of mechanical technology, always liked to delve into forbidden research.

"I've seen the mech in the box; its design is quite similar to the Bu Li Ren. I really wonder what they're planning to do this time?"

[Ring: Why do smart people always want to break taboos?]

[*Möbius: Why dwell on the human body? Evolution is the only constant.]

[That's nothing. The original PhD's memetic virus is truly terrifying. It will turn you from a normal person into a monkey... a banana.]

Bro, you've got it!

[Fufu: The company's support is definitely indispensable behind this.]

After complaining, the crow led the two away.

But after taking only two steps, the crow sensed something was wrong and turned to look behind it.

The cargo box appears to have been opened?

"Strange, I don't recall ever conducting a secondary inspection of the contained items..."

Han Ya stepped forward to check the situation, but Dan Heng and Xing stopped and looked back.

Crouching down, the crow peered through the gap into the cargo container.

His grayish-white pupils dilated instantly, in disbelief…

Following the gaze, there was the corpse of a military officer!

This is the Prison of Darkness, one of the safest places on the Immortal Ship. How could such a thing happen here?

[March 7th: Oh no, someone's dead!]

[Snow Robe: How could that be? The Prison of Shadows is not like the outside world; ordinary people can't even find the entrance or exit.]

[Pepper Hill: What if the danger comes from within?]

[Dan Heng: Bu Liren, they used the company to transport the cargo boxes containing the mechs to the Prison of Hell, and then...]

[Impossible! Aren't the Bu Li people all about brute force? How could they be so intelligent?]

[Jiaoqiu: That's a misconception. The Buli people are not only ferocious but also quite intelligent, and they possess a mature civilization.]

[Kaiya: This is a prison break attempt.]

[Mo Ze: See? Your Luofu prison isn't safe at all.]

[Jiaoqiu: Uh… can you at least look at the atmosphere when you speak?]

[Bakuzawa: Oh.]

A sound came from above. Dan Heng looked up and saw a scarlet eye open, its red light flashing like a cold dagger piercing his heart.

Danheng lunged forward, grabbed Xing, and rolled around on the ground a few times before leaving the vicinity of the cargo container.

The three slowly rose to their feet. As the thick smoke dissipated, three wolf-headed mechs came into view, their claws emanating a bloody aura.

Jack the Crow grabbed the communication device and shouted quickly, "Emergency! Military officers, listen to my command! Come to our aid immediately!"

However, on the other end, the crows' cries echoed, but no one responded.

Because the ground was littered with the corpses of military officers, and tall shadows swept across their bodies.

Clearly, they also encountered the Wolf-Headed Mech... and the Bu Li Ren!

[March 7th: Oh my god, how many mechs did the company transport? They're all under control now.]

[Stop acting! Hurry up and go to Hu Lei! Don't let him get away.]

[Yanqing: You monstrous creatures, you have slaughtered my fellow immortals! General, please order me to execute them.]

[Jingyuan: General Feixiao has entered the Prison of Imprisonment. Yanqing is responsible for maintaining the security of all transportation hubs in Luofu. Elder Yan... I would also appreciate it if you could temporarily guard the Jade Gate to prevent Bu Liren from escaping. Thank you for your help.]

[Huaiyan: No trouble at all, just consider it an old man stretching his muscles.]

In the video, Xing, Danheng, and Hanya stand back to back, each taking out their weapons to defend against the mechs.

The wolf-headed mechs surrounded the three of them like hunters hunting.

"What's going on? Why are these things moving?"

Seeing that the communicator in his hand was not responding, Han Ya sensed something was wrong.

Danheng: "Let's deal with them first."

With the Strike Cloud in hand, he unleashes a variety of basic gun techniques, including thrusting, parrying, sweeping, and slashing. With the support of his own strength, few mechs can withstand three blows.

Xing took out a baseball bat and swung it around wildly, scattering mech fragments all over the ground after each hit.

A few minutes later, all the nearby mechs had been taken down.

Raven: "The underworld officials have cut off the machines' power and placed a seal on the outside of the boxes. Why are these mechs still able to move?"

"Just like in the Industrial Manufacturing Division, these goods seemed to have gone out of control and attacked everyone present," Dan Heng analyzed.

The sole purpose of such a dangerous entity appearing in the Prison of Confinement is—

Crow: "Prison break."

The person who delivered these goods clearly hoped that the Immortal Ship's rigorous vetting process would send them to the Dark Prison.

That would be dangerous; these things have already infiltrated the entire prison without anyone noticing.

Even more dangerous is that just now, another group of visitors entered the deepest part of the Prison of Shadows—the messengers of the Azure Immortal Ship.

If the ferocious beast suppressed at the bottom were to escape, the entire Luofu would likely face a great catastrophe!

[Star: Scott, you're finished. You're going to be locked up in the Celestial Ship until you die of old age.]

Scott: This...this wasn't me, I don't know anything about it!

[Ying: Indeed, the safest place is often the most unsafe place.]

Wendy: But the current situation in Luofu shouldn't happen anymore. After all, Bu Liren's conspiracy has been exposed, and I can't imagine how Hu Lei will escape, Generals.

[Last Words: Lord War Chief, it is our incompetence.]

[Jiaoqiu: I'm afraid even the Erudite Society couldn't have imagined that the Buli people, even if they only had nerves left, could act independently and be used by them.]

[Walter: Huanlong is behind this; otherwise, Bu Liren wouldn't have been able to enter Luofu so easily.]

[Ring: The Blessing of Abundance is terrifying; its vitality is simply frightening.]

Jiaoqiu and Moze, led by Xueyi, have reached the bottom level.

However, to see Hu Lei, you need to unlock a mechanism.

Under Xueyi's command, Jiaoqiu lit eight ghost lamps.

The ground shook, and the massive stone pillar at the top descended, its grooves aligned with the holes in the platform, and then slowly rotated under the mechanism.

A hidden staircase appears, leading to a lower level.

Xueyi: "You two, the path has been opened. Once you reach the bottom of the Netherworld, do not act rashly."

Jiaoqiu and his companions descended the stairs to the entrance of a grotto.

Hu Lei was trapped inside.

"Uhhhhhh-"

Before they even entered, they heard Hu Lei's painful howl.

He was clearly being tortured.

Although the thunder is special, it does not provide immunity to pain.

Before the grotto, Xueyi continued her sermon.
