It was a strange prison.
There were many strange monsters locked up in the prison.
The monsters could understand human language, but they spoke in a strange language.
They were aggressive towards humans, but they also had a deep-seated hatred for the black-robed figure. The hatred was so deep that they would not stop until they were dead.
That was what Tang Ling knew about these strange monsters.
Of course, his knowledge raised questions about Tonnies' identity. Judging from how Tonnies was able to move freely in the cell, how could he not know what was locked up inside?
If that was the case, his identity would not be as simple as it seemed. Come to think of it, the main street mission was really complicated. Tang Ling thought he had a general outline of the mission, but he did not expect that he had only sketched out a small part of the mission.
The black-robed figure was surrounded by the monsters.
The corridor of the prison was in a mess.
Tang Ling and Finn sprinted madly through the chaos and reached the end of the corridor.
At the end of the corridor was another giant iron door.
Without a second thought, Tang Ling slashed the iron door open.
"Bro, that grass in your hand must be a divine weapon used by a saint. Let me have a look. I might be able to tell where it came from, so you can unleash its true power. "Finn was panting heavily from the run, but he was unusually fluent in his speech.
When he said this, his eyes shone with sincerity. That look made people want to believe him at first sight.
However, would Tang Ling believe him? He chuckled coldly at Finn before he closed the door behind him. As he did so, he asked absent-mindedly, "Is that so?"
Finn seemed to be encouraged by Tang Ling's words. He looked around with a sneaky gaze to see if there were any pursuers. Then, he whispered excitedly into Tang Ling's ear, "Yeah! Is there anything in this world that I, Finn, don't know? I … "
Tang Ling automatically blocked out Finn's incessant chatter. He saw a flight of stairs in front of him.
The stairs led straight down. The surroundings were rough stone walls and the top was crossed by stone beams. It looked very normal.
"You want to live?" Tang Ling looked at the blonde fatty and placed the Blood Bulrush Sword on his neck. He did not even have to use much strength as the sharp Blood Bulrush Sword cut the fatty's skin, causing blood to flow out.
"Ah, don't, don't kill me!" The blonde fatty screamed.
Tang Ling pulled the blonde fatty over and said, "That black-robed guy will shake off those monsters in two minutes tops. In a minute at most, there will be pursuers coming to investigate … Although I'm in a mess right now, I know that only by escaping can I live and regain my freedom. "
"Remember what I said just now? I need you to work with me. But if you can't cooperate with me, I don't mind killing a burden like you. "
"Believe me, if you betray me, I will kill you first even if I have to use all my strength. Don't think I can't do it. At least I have the leaf used by the saint, don't I? "Tang Ling's tone was tinged with mockery when he uttered the last sentence.
The blonde fatty kept saying, "I'll cooperate, I'll really cooperate."
**
Bick rushed to the front and brought the whole squad to Dark Dungeon No. 1.
He did not understand why Tonnies's soul lamp in the prayer room would extinguish when he was just going to interrogate a seemingly insignificant and weak young man.
Tonnies was dead in Black Cell No. 1. Bick's scalp went numb when he thought about it.
He and Tonnies were close friends. They grew up together and it was an undeniable fact.
With Tonnies dead, Bick's heart felt like it was emptied. He was not only sad, but he was also afraid as if he had lost a pillar of support.
More importantly, Bick was afraid! He had been tense all the time, and at this moment, he felt like if he did not have to be tense anymore, he might be completely freed today.
With complicated feelings in his heart, Bick hastened his steps. He still had a glimmer of hope that Tonnies could still be saved even if the soul lamp was extinguished.
With the thought lingering in his mind, Bick pulled open an inconspicuous door that looked like a storeroom. He entered the messy storeroom and found a portable cabinet with ease, revealing the door behind it.
Behind the door was a dark flight of stairs that led downwards.
Bick dashed down the stairs first, followed by five other members. They were the ones in charge of patrolling the place tonight.
It had been a sad night. They had run into two bloody cases during their patrol, and something terrible had happened during their patrol.
Before Bick left, he used a special method to contact his mysterious contact because the situation was out of Bick's control.
As he ran down the stairs, his footsteps echoed along the stone walls on both sides.
When he heard the footsteps, Bick could not help but feel an unknown emotion in his heart.
No one would have thought that this normal-looking building, which they usually worked in, hid a terrifying prison.
Half of the prison was underground, and the other half was hidden in the mezzanine of the first floor. The rows of small windows that looked like ventilation holes or holes for weapons were the windows of the prison.
Under this window hid a terrifying 'criminal' that would shock the entire city.
No one was worried about exposing anything. The shadow had completely descended and shrouded the land. Didn't everyone live their lives numbly? Why was Tonnies unwilling?
Frustrated, Bick could not help but complain about Tonnies. However, when he thought about the fact that Tonnies' soul lamp was extinguished, his heart was filled with sorrow.
It was at that moment that the iron door at the end of the corridor opened, and a fat man with a sneaky look crawled out while panting heavily.
Finn the liar?! He actually escaped!
Bick was already in a bad mood, and when he saw Finn, he shouted angrily, "Finn, how dare you break out of prison! You're dead! I'll make sure you're dead!"
Finn opened the door and saw the team led by Bick. He was shocked and scared. It seemed like he wanted to retreat behind the iron door, but he did not dare to do so. He fell to the ground and kept saying, "It's not me who wanted to run away. Someone broke out of the prison and let me out."
I swear it's not just me. Those monsters are out too. They're coming for us … "
When Bick heard what Finn said, his tense heart broke and his numb scalp exploded.
As expected, something really happened. Maybe they were already on the blacklist and Tonnies was just a signal.
However, Bick would never say it out loud. He forced himself to stay calm and said to his squad members, "Go and stabilize the situation."
As he spoke, he dashed to Finn and grabbed him by the collar, trying to say something.
"One, two, three, four …" This moment was the best timing. Tang Ling, who was lying on the stone beam and using the Blood Bulrush Sword to stabilize his body, had already counted the number of enemies.
There were six of them.
Just as the enemies were about to break into the prison, Bick grabbed Finn by the collar.
Tang Ling jumped down from the stone beam without a sound.
Everyone's position and posture were memorized by Tang Ling. The moment he jumped down, the Blood Bulrush Sword in his hand was already thrusting forward.
The first thrust pierced the last person's chest, followed by the second thrust.
Then, the second slash went straight through his chest and pierced through his heart from the back.
Within a second, Tang Ling had killed two enemies, yet he did not feel any burden in his heart. Just think about it. The so-called knights who guarded the monster dungeon, how could they be good people?
Maybe it was to prove Tang Ling's point of view, more messages popped up in his mind at that very moment.
'Ability recovery condition activated. Fallen Knight: 2/100. '
The notification was simple, but when it popped up, a slight numbness engulfed Tang Ling.
A moment later, Tang Ling felt a warm current rising from his abdomen. His abilities were slightly recovered.
As expected, there was a special condition for the recovery of strength in this scenario!
Fallen Knight?! Is Tonnies one too?
Questions lingered in Tang Ling's heart. He could not shake off his first impression of Tonnies. The man should be a resolute and righteous man.
Despite the thought in his heart, Tang Ling did not stop slashing his sword. Killing the Fallen Knights could help him recover his strength.
Tang Ling had already killed two of them, and when he was about to kill the third, the unfortunate Fallen Knights finally reacted to the situation.
At the same time, Finn reacted quickly. When he saw Tang Ling's swift and decisive attack, he quickly hugged Bick.
"What are you doing?!" Bick shouted angrily, but when he turned around, he realized that two of his men had been killed without a sound, and the assassin was still on.
What was more shocking was that the assassin was the young man that they had captured from the streets!
"Did you kill Tonnies?!" Bick shouted angrily.
However, Tang Ling would not answer him. He swung his sword and killed the third man, followed by the fourth. These men's abilities were limited. They were not even as strong as Tonnies, so killing them was a piece of cake for Tang Ling. Moreover, killing one of them would help him recover a little of his strength. On top of that, Tang Ling had the Blood Bulrush Sword in his hand and he was using a sneak attack.
Therefore, all five of Bick's men died under Tang Ling's sword in an instant.
"Bro, you're amazing!" Bick finally broke free from Fat Finn's grip. Even though Fat Finn took a punch from Bick in the process, he did not forget to flatter Tang Ling.
Tang Ling did not care about him. He watched as Bick tried to open the iron door and escape into the cell. Tang Ling dashed forward and knocked Bick out with the hilt of his sword. This man was still useful!
