Chapter 049 The ceremony is about to begin
"You're not coming out yet? Are you going to spend the New Year in there?"
Colin retracted his foot and asked, looking at the dazed Duncan inside.
The protection of the negative first floor is much worse than that of the negative third floor. If he does not choose to release himself on the negative third floor, he can only find the key.
But the iron railing on the underground floor was too thin and everything was broken with just one kick.
During this process, the three jailers did not step forward, but just stood there vigilantly with daggers in their hands from a distance.
"As expected of him being brought up by the warden."
Colin was not surprised by this. Hearing the dense footsteps coming from other places in the dungeon, he took Duncan and left the dungeon before the group finished gathering.
Not long after, in a secret forest, Duncan followed Colin, still with a look of disbelief on his face.
"We just ran away like this?"
Duncan walked in the woods, but it still felt a little unreal. The biggest feeling of unreality was...
Isn’t this too easy?
In his imagination, the captain sneaked in secretly and got the key through various means. Then he released everyone, joined forces with other death row prisoners to cause chaos in the prison, and then fought desperately to break out and finally leave this hellhole.
Unexpectedly, the captain kicked the door open with three kicks and the prison was kicked open with one kick.
The dungeon guards, who possessed more terrifying powers than normal humans, didn't dare to stop them; they just walked out in such a swagger.
Of course, he was also shocked by the power erupting from the captain's body.
He felt that even if Tyson came, he might not be able to take on this kick that took decades of hard work.
"If you want to miss it, I can send you back. I see you seem to have a pretty good relationship with other criminals."
Colin shook his head helplessly in response. He had no idea what was going on in his subordinate's mind. Did he really think this place was some dangerous place?
If the "Knight of Virtue" does not appear, he can almost walk around Blackrock City as he pleases as long as he does not go to a few special places.
The word invincible can be written directly on his face.
"Okay, Captain, where are we going next? Back to the bonfire sacrifice site?"
Colin took off the jailer's clothes and threw them into the "storage room", put on the gray robe again, and said:
"It's too late to go back now. It's almost night time. This world is very dangerous at night. I'll go back tomorrow to mark you and then act according to the situation. There is still an employee missing."
"Is there still a female employee who hasn't been found?" Tang Ken asked.
Now that his identity and that of another person have been confirmed, the only remaining person is Lin Yilan, who she met at a meeting on Sunday and has no news about.
Colin nodded, frowning: "I don't know what's going on with her for now. I can't sense her, and I'm not even sure where she was last seen."
The only thing that is certain is that the employee must be dead at this moment.
Moreover, he has been in this state of death and has never been resurrected since his death.
If she was resurrected quickly, it would only take half an hour near the bonfire. If she was resurrected slowly, it would only take two or three hours at most. It had been at least ten hours since she came back, and there was no signal at all...
Colin had a vague bad premonition and suspected that the other party might have encountered some unknown horror, which resulted in him being unable to be resurrected now.
This kind of thing is not impossible in this world.
But before he could think about it, Colin's heart suddenly sank. He looked up at the sky and found that the clouds were surging and the light was beginning to dim.
Judging from the situation, it will be dark soon.
Immediately, he quickened his pace and brought Duncan to the city gate quickly. The drawbridge door was about to be closed. Seeing this, Colin didn't waste any words and took out a gold card.
With a humming sound, everything within a ten-meter radius centered on him came to a standstill.
Then, he grabbed Duncan's shoulder with one hand and dragged him through the stagnant living people and directly into the town.
When the pause ended, Duncan looked confused again: "What happened? Flash?"
Weren't we just outside the gate? How did we suddenly appear in the city?
Some people who were not affected by the effect were confused for a moment, feeling as if something was wrong, but after looking carefully...it seemed that they didn't find anything wrong?
Colin did not answer Duncan's question. Seeing the world getting darker as the clouds rolled in, he prepared to get something from the storage room and light it.
But at this moment, a flash of fire suddenly appeared in the field of vision from the front.
I saw that in the center of Black Rock City, on the top of a tall tower-like building, a huge flame was burning, emitting dazzling light.
The burning flames even caused ripples to appear in the surrounding air.
And at this moment, outside of the light, everything became dark.
The scene with clear distinction between light and shadow that I had seen before appeared again, but this time, the light illuminated the entire city.
What a weird situation... Duncan couldn't help but gasp.
In a sense , the world under the firelight is much brighter than during the day, after all, it is always cloudy during the day.
"Let's go, don't look any more, find a place to rest."
Colin withdrew his gaze and walked towards the several hotels he had seen before according to his memory.
…
At the same time, outside a magnificent church in Black Rock City.
A group of guards escorted more than twenty prisoner vans to the gate of the largest church in Black Rock City.
When a priest wearing pure white clothes and a ruby pendant came over, the captain of the escort team hurried forward:
"Father Allenner, here are the last batch of 'beastiality' patients in the prison. There are 176 in total, seven of whom are in the second stage, and the rest are still in the first stage. They have been transformed into six tanks of liquid."
Father Ellenna, who was tall, dressed in pure white church clothing and had gray hair, nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest to us."
He waved his hand, and immediately a group of church personnel wearing silver masks and white robes came forward to take over.
"By the way, has that special example been found yet?"
"Not yet." The captain of the escort team shook his head and explained the previous situation.
Not long after the handover was completed, Father Ellenna walked through the Hall of Healing Miracles, which was engraved with countless reliefs of church miracles, and came to Bishop Lawrenson's room behind the hall.
In this simple yet spacious room, a huge figure was sitting on a chair with his back to him.
After carefully closing the door, he heard the other party's question:
"Is there any news about the special patient who was able to completely transform into a beast in the second stage but still maintain his sanity?"
The hoarse voice seemed to be enduring some great pain.
Ellenna glanced at the bishop's arm resting on the armrest, and saw that what was sticking out from under the holy sleeve was no longer an old man's arm, but a huge animal claw with long, hard hairs.
"Since he walked into the wilderness, he quickly disappeared, and the search team has found nothing so far." Ellenna repeated the words of the captain of the guard.
After he finished speaking, he did not hear an immediate reply, but instead heard a heavy breathing sound filled with violent emotions.
"The most important example is lost, and the crime committed by that warden can no longer be washed away."
"Knight El, the 'Knight of Virtue', left today. I will contact the judges of the Inquisition and sentence him to death."
"Um……"
A painful and suppressed voice came, and after a while, he heard the bishop's voice again:
"Forget it, don't worry about him. Tonight, send all the blood of the holy beasts and the beast transformation to the church. I can no longer suppress this emotion...
"The ceremony cannot be delayed any longer."
