Dean looked at him and said to the jailer: "Open the door."
The jailer hesitated for a moment but still took out the key and opened the door. As the heavy iron door opened, everyone saw the appearance of the person. He was about 1.8 meters tall. His upper body was naked. His left and right chest muscles were covered with sword scars. There were steel nails pierced on both sides of his shoulder blades. But unlike the steel nails pierced by Dean and old man 7, this steel nail was like an eagle's claw. The front part of the nail was barbed in front of the chest. Two thick chains were tied to the end of the nail and were fixed to the back wall. It was impossible to pull out the nail by oneself.
"Unlock!" The brawny man grinned, revealing two rows of incomplete yellow teeth as he arrogantly ordered the jailer.
The jailer's face was full of fear. He took out a key and carefully entered the cell. He went to the back of the burly man and unlocked the chains that were fastened to the steel nails on his back. With two bangs, two chains fell to the ground.
The strong man licked his lips and slowly stepped out of the cell. He looked at Dean: "Little guy, let's go. I don't want to stay here any longer."
"But you have to stay for a while." Dean said to the jailer: "Please lead the way to number one."
The man raised his eyebrows, but his face slightly changed as he heard Dudian's words: "Number one? Do you want to bail out number one? "
"Do you have a problem with that?" Dean looked at him.
The burly man was slightly stifled. He squinted his eyes and suddenly laughed, saying, "Of course not, please."
Dean took back his eyes and motioned to the jailer to lead the way.
The jailer locked the door of the prison and walked in front of the crowd. They turned a corner and came to a dead end. There were two cells. He came to the cell on the left and said: "Number one, someone has come to bail you out. Get ready to come out."
There was dead silence in the cell. There was no response.
The jailer came to the side of the aisle and picked up an oil lamp. He passed it to the steel pillar of the iron door and looked inside. He was relieved to see that there was nothing unusual. He put the oil lamp back and took out the key to open the door.
The cell was dark but his vision wasn't affected. He saw that there was a cross on the wall. There were many chains and steel nails locking a slender figure. It seemed to be a woman. Her hair was extremely long and hung down to her knees. Her clothes were ragged and exposed a large part of her skin. There were even traces of dried blood on her knees.
Dean was slightly startled. Although he expected number one to be extraordinary, he didn't expect to encounter such cruel treatment. Her whole body was pierced by steel nails. She couldn't even move or lie down.
No wonder the jailer dared to open the door without seeing any response from inside.
As the heavy iron door opened, the jailer took the lead to enter. Dean followed behind him. Brawny man, old man, Scar, Jin and others entered one after another. The old man took an oil lamp from the wall and illuminated the darkness of the cell. The figure nailed to the cross was revealed in front of everyone's line of sight. Everyone took a deep breath at the same time.
"Number one, number one!" The jailer came to three meters in front of the cross and shouted.
The figure nailed to the cross slowly raised her head. A pair of dark and cold eyes shot out from the gaps of her scattered hair. Dean felt an inexplicable sense of danger. Even the senior hunter didn't give him this feeling. He was surprised but also a bit happy. The situation was better than he expected.
"Someone has come to bail you out." The jailer took half a step back and whispered.
The figure on the cross raised her head. Because of her hair, no one could see her expression and eyes. After a moment of silence, she slowly said: "Unlock."
The jailer hesitated: "I'll unlock the lock for you. But don't be stupid. This person has come to bail you out. If you commit another crime, no one will dare to bail you out."
The woman didn't respond. Her face seemed to be looking at Dean. It was obvious that Dean was the only one who wasn't from this prison.
Dean also looked at her. He could clearly see her pair of black and white eyes staring at him, full of coldness and hostility. The oil lamp couldn't illuminate the dark hair gap, so he could clearly see that her black and white eyes were staring at him.
Soon, the jailer came forward and untied the chains of the steel nails on her body one by one. The steel nails were distributed to her hands, feet, shoulder blades, abdomen and other joints. It was hard to imagine how much pain she had to endure when the steel nails were pierced! What was even more unbearable was that she had to maintain such a position for a long time. Even eating, sleeping and excreting were like this!
Scar and Jin who were standing behind were shocked. They thought that the most insidious and despicable means of the jailer was to pierce their shoulder blades. They didn't expect that there would be torture that was ten times worse than that. They knew that if they were pierced like this, they would have tried to free themselves.
"Hello, my name is Dean." Dean looked at her: "I know that you haven't taken your revenge. I can help you."
Whoosh ~!
The chains were untied from the cross.
The woman's arms loosened as she regained her mobility. However, there were still steel nails all over her body. Her eyes were cold as she asked: "Are you from the inner wall?" Her voice was surprisingly pleasant and clear.
Dean calmly replied: "Not yet, but I will be in the future."
The woman looked at him coldly. She lowered her head and didn't say anything.
Dean looked at her but didn't say anything. He turned around and left the cell. After a moment, they came to the hall outside the prison. The guards in the hall returned to their original seats after Peter left. They continued to eat, drink and play cards. But the topic of chatting shifted to Dean and the recently famous military crossbow.
There were very few people who knew about military crossbows. But the jailers belonged to the military system. So they paid a lot of attention to military products. Almost everyone knew about the items that were published in the military newspaper.
The guards in the hall immediately stood up as Dean and others came out. They were vigilant as they looked at Dean. Their faces changed when they saw number 7, old man, and number 1 who was walking at the end of the line. They were familiar with these people. They knew that the three of them had committed crimes. Now that they were out of prison, the outside world was bound to fall into darkness.
Outside the prison gate, the warm sunlight shone on everyone's body. Scar and Jin took a deep breath. Their eyes were full of excitement. After so many years, they didn't expect to touch the sunlight again. This long-lost feeling was almost forgotten in their memory.
The old man was silent along the way. He was extremely low-key.
The strong man looked around as if he was thinking about something.
Number 1 was walking at the end of the line. Her face was covered by her long hair. No one knew what she was thinking.
They walked along the long aisle. The shadows in the lakes on both sides of the aisle smelled the smell of the crowd. Their reaction was more intense. Huge waves kept appearing on both sides of the aisle. They jumped high into the air. Their sharp teeth were exposed in front of everyone. They looked very strange.
The strong man whistled as he saw the underwater monsters. His eyes flashed with bloodthirst.
Soon, everyone arrived in front of the carriage parked by the lake. The seventh old man and the burly man looked at the flag on the carriage. The seventh old man's face showed a trace of surprise, "Ryan family?"
Dean looked back at him and praised him without a smile: "You have a good memory."
The old man frowned: "If I remember correctly, the Ryan family has long been in decline. They are a third-tier shareholder of the Mellon consortium. Even if the Mellon consortium is behind you, the Ryan family wouldn't send a carriage to you, right?"
Dudian indifferently said: "The Mellon consortium is our enemy." He stepped into the carriage. Because they were prepared beforehand, they specially called a large carriage. The carriage was big enough to accommodate five people.
Scar and Jin took the lead to get on the carriage. Dudian said to them: "You go to the front and accompany the coachman."
Scar and Jin were startled. Scar suddenly thought of something and said in a worried tone: "I'll stay."
Dudian slightly shook his head: "Go."
The two saw his unquestionable expression, so they didn't stubbornly get off from the other side. They jumped to the front and squeezed on both sides of the coachman's seat.
The old man saw the scene and laughed. He grabbed the door of the carriage and sat on the side of Dudian. The strong man sneered. He bent down and got into the carriage. He sat opposite to the old man.
