Chapter 30: Harming others will eventually harm yourself
"Okay, no problem."
Shi Li showed a harmless smile, which was as warm as it could be, just like the innocent male protagonist in a campus drama.
"Well, um...I found a good place."
The hunchbacked woman was stunned for a moment, but she came to her senses immediately: "But I don't dare to go alone!"
"I don't know how to describe it, anyway, just follow me."
As she said this, she waved her hand to signal Shi Li to follow.
“…”
Shi Li thought that he could be resurrected, so he didn't seem to be afraid anymore, so he followed the other party.
However, to be on the safe side, he never walked side by side with the other party.
Instead, he stayed slightly behind by half a body length, just in case.
The hunchback woman didn't seem to mind this behavior.
The two of them wandered around along the way and did not encounter any guards along the way.
After climbing up a flight of stairs, they arrived at the second floor.
There is only one circular corridor on the second floor, which is completely empty in the middle, allowing an unobstructed view of the situation on the first floor.
Shi Li discovered that there seemed to be a temple or something like that below, with two large statues standing there.
The statues are placed on the left and right of the altar, one is a man with a wolf head and the other is a man with a tiger head.
The wolf-headed man was holding a string of Buddhist beads, his nose was wrinkled and his mouth was wide open, as if he was roaring.
The tiger-headed man holds a Zen stick and pokes the ground, with his eyes wide open as if he is about to burst out.
In front of the two statues, there was a wolf-headed man sitting cross-legged.
It was dressed in clothes similar to those of a warrior monk, with a necklace of skulls around its neck, and was exceptionally tall.
At this time, the wolf-headed man had his eyes closed and did not move.
Only the hands that kept twisting the Buddhist beads proved that he was not sleeping.
Three words were floating above his head: Guard Officer.
"Look there."
The hunchbacked woman took him to the side of the statues and pointed to the feet of the two statues.
Looking from where they were, they could see that there was a spell-shaped light ball between each foot of the statue, revealing a small part of its outline.
If it weren't for this high angle, it would be hard to spot.
But this guard looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with. I was afraid that if I rushed down and didn't get the light ball, I would be arrested.
"How about you go down and lead him away, and I'll go down and get the light ball, one for each of us."
At this time, the hunchbacked woman squatted down with him and spoke in a low voice.
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors."
Shi Li felt that the other party was not easy to fool, so he proposed a fair (?) plan.
With my own skills, I can definitely win by coming out 0.1 second later.
"That's fine."
The hunchbacked woman agreed readily.
However, just as the two were getting ready to start, someone suddenly rushed in from below.
This man's hair was like green crystal blades, with a number hanging above it: No. 45.
Shi Li remembered seeing it on the leaderboard. It was someone who had already released 1 spell.
"Huh? We took the wrong road!"
When No. 45 saw the fierce-looking guard, his face immediately changed.
Without saying a word, he turned around and ran away.
【stop!】
But the guard's powerful shout made him unable to help but look back.
"Huh?"
I didn't expect that something bad would happen as soon as I took a look.
Because he suddenly realized that he could not move.
Buzz!
At this moment, a semicircular blue light barrier rose up, covering No. 45 and the guard officer.
And a platform quickly rose up under their feet.
The platform is square in shape, with thick elastic horizontal guardrails on all four sides.
It looked like... a boxing ring.
(Is the guard also a person with super powers?)
Seeing this scene, Shi Li had this thought in his mind.
“Huh?!”
At this moment, No. 45 was confused again.
Because he was able to move again, but at some point, blue boxing gloves were put on his hands.
[If you dare to escape from prison, I will arrest you! ]
The guard standing opposite the boxing ring stood up, shook his hands, and put on red boxing gloves out of thin air.
No. 45, who is of normal height, looks like a child in front of it.
(What the hell is going on here...)
Shi Li thought this scene was too strange.
"Humph, it's not that easy to catch me!"
After trying and finding that he could not break through the blue light barrier, No. 45 simply turned around and faced the other party.
I saw the muscles on his right arm suddenly bulge, almost bursting his sleeve.
Then he punched the guard from a distance. This was the superpower he drew.
[Cannon Fist]: Fires a powerful air cannon punch, but the arm will lose consciousness for a while
boom!
The invisible air cannon blasted out and hit the guard officer's chest.
"This is impossible!"
However, the next second, No. 45, whose right arm was already drooping, screamed.
His super-powered air cannon hit the opponent, and as a result, the opponent just retreated a few steps.
There are no injuries at all, just the clothes are messed up!
[You dare to show off your petty skills! 】
The guard's shout was still full of energy, indicating that the punch just now did not cause any substantial damage, and even angered him.
He rushed to No. 45 in one step, raised his huge fist and smashed down.
Bang!
"Woooooa ...
No. 45 screamed and bumped into the corner post of the fence, then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
One punch, just one punch knocked the contestant down.
“Wow.”
Shi Li lowered his voice and exclaimed.
The guard’s strength is so terrifying.
Buzz...
Then, the boxing ring slowly sank and the blue light barrier disappeared without a trace.
The guard carried No. 45 out of the room as if he were a dead chicken.
【Ding Dong! 】
[The knife-haired man, put him in jail! ]
[The knife-haired man, put him in jail! ]
After a while, the broadcast sounded.
Shi Li listened to the broadcast, frowned slightly and looked at the hunchbacked woman.
"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet."
"...Don't you think it's too late to ask you now?"
The hunchbacked woman rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "My name is James."
"Eat chestnuts."
Shi Li also gave his code name and thought to himself, "Hey, guy, why don't you call yourself James, James Bond?"
The two had just exchanged names, and he was wondering if he should go down and reap the benefits while the guard was away.
Before he could move, a team of guards suddenly appeared at the stairs.
【Jailbreaker Found! 】
They immediately discovered Shi Li and the other man.
Moreover, the well-trained team was divided into two teams and rushed over from both ends of the corridor to attack them from both sides.
"That's terrible, damn."
Shi Li's expression tensed and he made a decision in an instant.
He leaped down from the second-floor corridor which was more than 3 meters high.
Plop!
The huge impact force hit his feet, making him grimace in pain.
"ah!"
James covered his mouth, he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive.
【Where to escape! 】
But for those cat-headed guards, this height is nothing.
Bang!
They also jumped down, and their armor made a clashing sound.
【Catch him! 】
The three cat-headed men raised their weapons and surrounded Shi Li.
It seemed that Shi Li would definitely not be able to escape.
“…”
Staring at the approaching guards, Shi Li remained unusually calm.
In fact, from the very beginning, his goal was not to escape.
It was the spell-shaped light ball at the feet of the two statues.
He turned quickly and rushed towards the statue.
When he touched the spell at the foot of the wolf-head statue, he crushed it without even looking at it.
【Ding Dong! 】
[In the Hall of the Twin Gods, there are rune fluctuations! ]
[In the Hall of the Twin Gods, there are rune fluctuations! ]
The broadcast sounded immediately.
[Bold prisoner! Meow!]
Seeing the other party release the spell, one of the cat-headed guards pounced directly on him.
Shi Li rolled on the ground to avoid it and came to the tiger head statue again.
The other spell light ball also fell into his hands.
"Um?"
But when he squeezed it hard, he found that it didn't feel right.
【I caught him! 】
Another cat-headed man rushed over with a look of joy on his face.
[Support! Support, support!] x2
The other two cat-headed men came rushing over and started playing the human pyramid game.
The weight of three people pressed down on him, making Shi Li a little breathless.
But I can’t breathe…isn’t that just perfect?
【Anti-hypoxia physique】, activated.
So the three cat-headed men didn't even have a few seconds to be happy before they felt themselves being carried up.
[Quick, come and help! He is so strong! ]
The cat-headed man who was on the top became anxious.
[Hold on! Woof woof! ]
The dog-headed man who arrived twisted the explosion-proof fork in his hand, and a green energy chain suddenly emerged between the two fork heads.
This green light energy is specifically used to deal with people with super powers.
…
In cell No. 98, Gong Ping was working at the card table.
At this moment, everyone in the other cells in this passage had already escaped.
As the first person to be imprisoned for a second time, he is still in his cell and the door is double-locked.
This meant that he had to deal with two [Demon Lock] cards before he could see the light of day again.
"Huh... just a little bit more."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he decided to take a break.
The first [Magic Lock] was cracked, and the second [Magic Lock] only had less than 100 digital passwords left that had not been tried.
I am not far from escaping again.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure escorted by guards walking by through the window.
If it’s not Shi Li, who else could it be?
"Hahahahaha! Harming others will only harm yourself!"
"Retribution! Retribution! You deserve this day!"
Gong Ping leaned on the small window and laughed to his heart's content.
However, Shi Li didn't even look at him and walked straight to his cell.
【Stay still inside! 】
【Double lock him too! 】
【yes!】
Several guards pushed Shi Li into the cell, pounded on the door for a while, and then left.
【Ding Dong! 】
【Eat chestnuts, go to jail! 】
【Eat chestnuts, go to jail! 】
“…”
Shi Li sat down beside the bed and really calmed down.
I sat like this for a while, making sure the guard was far away.
He opened his task panel.
Just now, while being escorted back, some broadcasts were heard one after another.
At this point in the rankings, many people have already escaped and successfully found and released the spell.
There are more than twenty players who have released 1 spell.
The first place has already released the spell three times.
But that person is not himself.
[Current number of spells released: 2]
This is Shi Li’s current progress.
But I clearly crushed 3 spell light balls, so why is the number displayed only 2?
He thought he knew the answer.
He spread out his palm, and there was a word written on it: [Ghost].
This hand was the one that crushed the last ball of light just now.
Now it is obvious that it was not a spell-like light ball.
"So... I'm a ghost now?"
Shi Li looked down at his body and found no changes.
He had guessed about it, such as triggering a hidden task like switching identities in a copy.
But this is a competition copy, so this situation shouldn't happen.
What's more, the description of my task has not changed even a word, it is still to collect and release spells.
If it's a reverse identity role, shouldn't it be a destruction or concealment spell?
"Forget it, there's no point in thinking so much."
"Just keep doing what you need to do."
Unable to figure it out , he simply stood up and patted the cell door with his hand.
Buzz!
【Clang clang clang!】x2
The card table was set up, and two [Demon Lock] cards appeared on the table one after the other.
"It won't take more than a few seconds."
He took a closer look and already knew the password.
The next room on the other side, cell 98.
"Finally! It's open again!"
Gong Ping wiped his forehead.
It’s really not easy to deal with two [Locking Demons] .
I... can finally see the light of day again!
With a little excitement, he opened the cell door.
The entire corridor was empty and quiet.
"I have to hurry too, everyone is out."
Gong Ping's expression tensed, but he smiled the next second: "No, how could I forget it?"
There was another person who was locked in a cell.
If he didn't mock him before leaving, he would never be able to get rid of the hatred in his heart.
So he walked to Shi Li's door, and Gong Ping happened to see him standing in front of the window.
For a moment, the two looked at each other.
"Ha ha……"
Squeaky.
As a result, Gong Ping had just opened his mouth and hadn't said anything when he saw the other party push open the prison door.
“Hmm!”
He covered his chest, feeling a little depressed.
Why did it take me so long to open the double [Magic Lock], but the other party opened it in just a blink of an eye? !
Are you guessing?
No! That's not fair!
Suddenly, an inspiration came to him.
"No. 99 has escaped from prison!!! No. 99 has escaped from prison!!!"
Let this guy also have a taste of being reported! Humph!
[Where! There is a prisoner escaping from prison! ]
A patrolling guard happened to be nearby and rushed over upon hearing the shouting.
"This way! Number 99 is this way!!"
Gong Ping was overjoyed when he heard their voices coming from the other end of the passage.
"..., are you stupid?"
Shi Li glanced at Gong Ping, then returned to the cell and closed the door.
Bang!
[I see, the criminal is there! ]
[It’s not No. 99, it’s No. 98! ]
[All the same, catch them! ]
"!!!"
When Gong Ping saw that the situation was not good, he quickly retreated into his cell.
But it is an indisputable fact that he was seen by the guards standing outside the cell.
[You are the only one who is not honest, right? ]
The leading kobold banged on his cell door with a stick.
"No, big brother! Number 99 just escaped from prison too!"
Gong Ping refused to accept.
【Um?】
The kobold glanced suspiciously at the person next door.
[Others are lying on the bed obediently! ]
[I even learned to frame someone! 】
[Someone come! Use the Triple Devil Lock on him!]
"???"
Gong Ping was completely dumbfounded.
He touched the door panel, and this time three projections really jumped out!
【Clang clang clang!】x3
"No! That's not fair!!!"
