When less than one-tenth of the Bone Burial Sanctuary was retrieved, a crack leading to darkness appeared on Huai Shi's chest again. His entire body returned to its previous' hollow 'state.
The inside of his body was filled with darkness.
Under the thin blanket, he opened his right hand, and a pitch-black feather silently appeared in his hand.
From the Cage of Dreams in the distance, the gift on the Iron Crystal Throne came.
This was the limit of what the Bone Burial Sanctuary could transmit under the heavy seal — a feather weighing less than 0.1 grams.
On Huai Shi's fingertip, the feather that floated like mist and had no sense of reality was covered with a layer of light, looking so elite.
It was not a qualitative change of the Origin Substance that belonged to Huai Shi, but alchemy from the Iron Crystal Throne.
He extracted the Decaying Dream Poison from the Cage of Dreams, processed it again with the study of Origin Substances and spells, woven it into a small seed, and implanted it into the feather of the Ghost Crow.
A 'Seed of Bubbles' that was personally woven by the chief technician.
In order to ensure the smooth transmission of the Bone Burial Sanctuary, the nature of the feather could not be changed, and the feather could not even be removed during this period. Therefore, the complicated technique of living alchemy could only be used, while taking into account durability and ease of use.
Huai Shi couldn't help but sigh in amazement at Su Chen's deep understanding of Origin Substances and curses.
Now, a feather had appeared in the cage without any warning.
It turned into a weight that was enough to pry the balance of the scales and reverse the situation!
Huai Shi smiled and clenched his five fingers.
The grayish-black feather disintegrated at the tip of his finger, turning into wisps of thin mist that silently dissipated into the air.
In the silence, Huai Shi raised his eyes slightly, listening to the patrolling footsteps of the guards in the distance, distinguishing the distance and characteristics.
"Excuse me, can you turn on the air conditioner?"
When the guard walked to the door, Huai Shi suddenly spoke.
He raised his hand and pulled his collar, smiling at the familiar guard, "It's a little stuffy, I can't breathe, don't you think so?"
.
.
About half an hour later, the guard on duty walked out of the elevator and hurriedly went upstairs. But he was stopped by the checkpoint.
"Hey, don't forget to swipe the card." The outer guard raised his eyes from the Sudoku room and looked at the anxious guard. He reminded him, "You don't look too good."
"Sorry, I'm not feeling too well."
The guard who was stopped behind the checkpoint smiled stiffly.
His complexion was indeed not very good. He was a little red from holding back, but his complexion was very pale. It seemed that he had lost a lot of blood. The temperature of the air conditioner was obviously very low, but sweat could still be seen on his forehead.
The action of swiping the card was very stiff.
After passing the verification in a daze, the person left in a hurry.
The outer guard looked at him in confusion. He didn't know what had happened, but he glanced back at the monitor below and picked up the walkie-talkie to ask about the situation. After finding that everything was normal, he didn't care anymore.
He continued to indulge in the Sudoku game.
The guards who walked out of the checkpoint walked stiffly and swiftly through the layers of doors and checks. They went straight up and quickly squeezed into another elevator that wasn't closed yet.
He didn't even care about the concerned looks from the other people in the elevator. He lowered his head and pressed the button for the second floor.
The elevator doors slowly closed.
Just as it was about to rise, it quickly stopped in place.
The elevator doors opened again.
The guard's hurried expression had a hint of anger, but when he saw the person who walked in, he quickly lowered his head.
The person who walked in was a blonde girl with blue eyes.
Liz Hetmok.
After nodding to her colleagues, she pressed the button for the first floor and turned around to greet the guard, "You got off work early today, Joe."
It seemed that he was stunned for a moment before he realized that she was calling him.
The guard nodded and squeezed out a smile.
A trace of sweat faintly seeped out from the back of his neck.
It felt … a little strange.
The elevator doors slowly closed, rose quickly, and opened again.
Liz walked out and met the assistant waiting in the corridor. The two talked for a while and walked forward. But Liz's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Something was wrong!
"What's wrong?" The assistant asked.
Liz didn't say anything, but a bad guess emerged in her heart. Her expression gradually turned ugly.
In the elevator, they were close enough. She could even hear Joe's heartbeat … It was abnormally fast. She associated it with his slow reaction and subconsciously tensed body.
She also faintly sensed a gaze from behind her in the elevator.
For a moment, she wondered if she was a little allergic.
But when she thought of Joe's position and the abnormally high danger level prisoner in the prison, she had an even worse premonition.
"Something's wrong."
She whispered softly and suddenly turned around, running wildly behind her.
The assistant couldn't even catch up. "Where are you going?"
"To stop the situation from getting worse!"
Liz ran as fast as she could. At the same time, she ordered everyone to urgently search for traces of Joe through the internal communication. She, on the other hand, rushed straight to the prison on the fourth floor.
Thinking of the possible situation, her expression became gloomier.
She didn't even care about the astonished gazes of others. She pulled out her stone sword and ran rapidly in the corridor with the speed of a Ascendant!
Hopefully, she could still make it …
In less than a minute, she had already broken into the deepest part of the prison. The stone sword in her hand emitted a blazing light. But when the elevator door slowly opened, she didn't see the tragic scene that she expected.
Everything was normal.
Only six guards who had nothing to do were chatting with coffee cups. When they saw her come in, they were stunned and quickly put down their cups and stood at attention.
"Where's Joe?" Liz asked. "Where is he?"
"He just left."
"What about Huai Shi?" Liz's eyes widened. She saw the guard point in the direction of the prison.
There, she heard a low and kind conversation.
"… So, sometimes you're overly irritated and want to use violence because you feel that someone is violating your safe zone. Your violent behavior is actually a kind of overprotection of yourself. It's an overly magnified sense of insecurity. "
That very kind and calm voice said, "Including the conflict between you and the Ivy League Ascendant this time. Because the misunderstanding was magnified, it led to this kind of thing happening.
You need to constantly examine yourself, Bonar. Indulging in violence won't change your situation. It will only increase the degree of your drinking. "
There was a faint, helpless voice sniffling, as if choking. "I know, Mr. Huai Shi, but sometimes I can't control myself. I don't know what to do. "
"Do you remember what I told you?"
The kind voice sighed. "You can't indulge in the superficial and irresponsible stimulation of sex = love, alcohol, and illicit drugs. Bonar, you need a regular and normal life, a hobby that can calm you down and let go of yourself. Did those classical music books help you after reading them?"
"Yes, yes."
Next to Huai Shi, the incomparably burly Nightmare Eye, covered in muscles and tattoos, wiped his tears and cried like a child. "I dreamed of my brother last night … At that time, he wasn't dead yet, and I wasn't like this …
I don't know how long it has been since I dreamed of him. I remember that we talked a lot, and after I woke up, I felt much calmer. "
"Very good, Bonar. You're changing, aren't you?" In the cell, Huai Shi smiled and was extremely gratified. "You're getting better step by step."
Noticing Liz walking in, the conversation between the two temporarily stopped.
Then, Huai Shi saw the gloomy Liz and the stone sword in her hand. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "Miss Liz, you finally can't help but want to kill me?"
"Cut the crap, Huai Shi." Liz stared at Huai Shi indifferently. "What the hell are you doing?"
"What are you referring to?"
Huai Shi spread his hands in confusion. "I'm already in prison. What the hell can I do?"
"Who do you think you can fool with such an illusion!"
Killing intent appeared on Liz's face. She suddenly pulled open the prison door and reached out to shatter the shadow left behind by Huai Shi. However, the moment she touched it, her expression suddenly froze.
Huai Shi had already been sent flying backward. He was smashed against the wall and slowly landed on the ground.
He vomited a large mouthful of blood.
His breathing was weak.
This was not an illusion.
Was it real?
Liz found it hard to believe.
At the same time, outside the door, an Ivy League sublimator hurried in and whispered in her ear, "We caught Joe. He's in the infirmary and didn't resist much. After verification, he's not someone else in disguise. There are no traces of hypnosis or orders in his consciousness."
In short, everything was normal.
Liz froze on the spot.
In the silence, Huai Shi lay on the ground. He raised his neck with difficulty and looked at her.
As if he had guessed something, his expression became extremely strange.
"Hey, Miss Liz …"
He held back his laughter and asked curiously, "You don't think I'm in disguise, do you?"
Liz's gloomy expression said everything.
Ignoring him, she turned around and asked, "Why did Joe go to the infirmary in such a hurry?"
"To prescribe medicine."
It was Huai Shi who answered.
He propped himself up and leaned against the wall. His expression became contemptuous. "Miss Liz, Joe was diagnosed with the early stages of claustrophobia five days ago.
Because of this illness, he submitted a transfer report and will be transferred to the aboveground area tomorrow. Today is his last day of work here … Why do you not know your colleagues as well as I do? Or do you think that even this has something to do with me? "
Claustrophobia.
Liz was stunned for a long time, but she realized that if this was the reason, then everything became very reasonable, and she was just overreacting.
But looking at the man in front of her, she felt that something was wrong.
Even if it didn't make any sense, she felt that it must have something to do with the person in front of her.
"What are you staring at?"
Huai Shi curled his lips. "Do you think I can make him claustrophobic? How long have I been here? If I'm really that awesome, why don't I just move my mouth and make all of you schizophrenia? Or you can just treat me as your savior and worship me. What do you think? At the very least, it can eliminate some people's unfounded prejudice against me. "
"Search him."
In the short silence, Liz gave the order.
She decided to follow her intuition.
