"… Nothing."
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. With a rather hideous expression, he said, one word after another, "I just don't understand why the best super prison in the Imperium is still defending the ventilation tubes with such a primitive approach as' manpower 'when the technology is so advanced and the modern defense measures are so abundant? Why don't you set up some … super sophisticated, dazzling, fully-automated, unmanned defensive arrays that look especially airtight and invulnerable at first glance, so they don't need anyone to guard them at all? "
"Yes. Everybody knows that the defense system of the ventilation tubes of the Godly Might Prison is stupid, but that's exactly what the Imperium has been doing for a long time."
Li Linghai said, "The four Kurfürst families have so many people to settle down. Naturally, they have seized every opportunity to expand the government departments and cram their own subordinates into them.
"The Godly Might Prison is of a very high level in the prison system of the Imperium. It earns a huge budget from the Council of Elders every year for the purpose of settling the idlers of the four Kurfürst families. What else can they do if they are not asked to watch over the ventilation tubes?"
"Well …"
After a long daze, Li Yao sighed and said, "I didn't know that the Imperium had been corrupted to such an extent. As a loyal patriot, I truly feel heartbroken!
"Then, if even the ventilation tubes are filled with jailors, how am I supposed to sneak into the Godly Might Prison and find General Lei Chenghu?"
"This is your plan of action."
Li Linghai pointed at the 3D light beam and operated quickly. Very soon, he retrieved the structural designs of a carrier and a hibernation cabin. He explained, "Because the 'special investigation committee' has secretly transported General Lei to the Godly Might Prison and locked him up, they do not want to show any anomaly. Therefore, the Godly Might Prison has been receiving and releasing prisoners as usual.
"In three days, a carrier that is loaded with frozen prisoners will arrive at the Godly Might Prison. The deputy captain of the carrier has been on our side since a long time ago.
"Your mission is to approach the carrier quietly when it just jumps to the Mystic Ice Sector but hasn't reached the orbit of the Godly Might Prison yet. Then, you will sneak into the carrier through this place."
Li Linghai pointed at a complicated structure at the rear of the carrier.
Li Yao observed carefully. "This is the spurt of spiritual energy on the carrier. The temperature is extremely high. Even if I put on the Crystal Suit, it will be difficult for me to resist it for more than one minute. Also, if it is sabotaged from the inside, the mainframe crystal processor on the starship will certainly react.
"Under normal circumstances, yes. However, the deputy captain who belongs to the 'reformists' will destroy the power unit to which the tube of spiritual energy belongs in advance, making the crystal processor lose its senses temporarily and lowering the temperature inside the tube to below a thousand degrees. Then, there will be no problem at all."
Li Linghai continued, "The detailed data of all the prisoners on the carrier has been recorded. However, we will arrange a prisoner whose body shape and appearance are closest to yours in advance. We will also prepare his blood and even his bone marrow for you, which will be enough to deal with all the examinations.
"After you sneak into the carrier, our deputy captain will pick you up and change your appearance. The real prisoner will be disposed of, and you will enter the frozen hibernation cabin as a prisoner.
"The difficulty here is that you will have to reduce your breath, heartbeat, and even brainwaves to the minimum as if you are really hibernating. In the meantime, your body will have to show the features of being deeply frozen, but you cannot really hibernate. Your soul will still have to be kept in the most active state in order to deal with all the emergencies.
"In that regard, we will give you a special freezing drug that will help your skin, flesh, and internal organs show the effect of 'pseudo-freezing'. However, you will have to have very precise control over your own body, too."
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao nodded and said, "That's not a problem. It can be done."
"Alright. After you disguise yourself as a frozen prisoner, you will be sent to the Godly Might Prison. Naturally, you will receive rigorous examinations there. The first examination will be conducted when you are hibernating. There shouldn't be any problem with the protection of our people in secret. The second examination will be conducted by three jailors together after you are unfrozen and woken up.
"We have chosen the period three days later exactly because our deputy warden will be on duty at that time. In the next two hours, the entire jailor system will be managed by him. As long as the orders are not too outrageous, they will be carried out dutifully.
"When you are interrogated by three jailors, our deputy warden will find an excuse to summon two of the jailors away. Then, he will move the surveillance cameras that are everywhere in the interrogation room for a few seconds.
"You will have to kill the only jailor in the eight seconds when the surveillance cameras are moved away, put on his uniform, put on your prison uniform, and put on your identification bracelet. Then, you will blow him up beyond recognition. It will be best if you blow up his entire head with a storm bolter.
"In the meantime, you will also have to wear the human skin membrane that we have prepared in advance. Then, you will change the direction of your muscles and try to disguise yourself as the jailor.
"It will be fine even if you are slightly different due to the limited time, because you can make some shocking wounds on your face and body and cover your face with blood.
"That way, you will appear to be a bloodthirsty, disobedient prisoner who launched an assault when there was only one jailor in the interrogation room, only to be killed by the jailor's counterattack.
"Of course, it will look very weird. Thankfully, we don't need to cover it for too long. Under the order of our deputy warden, you will be sent to the medical room. This is the place."
Li Linghai retrieved the map of the internal structure of the Godly Might Prison and enlarged the 3D picture that was as complicated as a maze.
Li Yao glanced at the ventilation tube that looked like a thick aorta reluctantly before he focused his eyes on where Li Linghai pointed.
"Our deputy warden will come to you in the medical room in person and ask about the 'rarely-seen attack by prisoners'. Then, he will cover you to leave the medical room in secret."
Li Linghai continued, "Let's do it this way. In the surveillance system that covers the entire Godly Might Prison, the jailor that you are pretending to be should still be in the medical room to be interrogated by the deputy warden. Within the authority of the deputy warden, you will be given twenty-eight and a half minutes.
"The medical room is here, and the secret prison area where General Lei Chenghu is suspected to be locked is here. The two areas are 3.5 kilometers away from each other in a straight line.
"It does not seem to be very long, but the most critical part is the complicated pathways, the surveillance cameras, and the sentry posts in the pathways, as well as the invisible mystic rays that are all over the entire space. Those rays are highly sensitive. Even if one of your hairs is cut by one of the rays, the scanning will be triggered and all the sentry posts nearby will be aware of your existence.
"Once it is discovered that your body shape and gait data are not in the database, and you are not a jailor who should be nearby, an alarm of the highest level will be triggered. The alarm will be directly transmitted to the warden's office and the control center. Even the deputy warden will not be able to do anything about it."
Looking at the zigzagging, complicated route carefully, Li Yao said, "It means that I have to avoid the eyes of 188 jailors and 2,544 surveillance cameras in twenty-eight minutes and dodge the invisible mystic rays with the weirdest body movements in order to reach the area where General Lei Chenghu is locked, right?"
"Yes."
Li Linghai nodded and said, "Of course, some of our spies are among the jailors, too. They will try their best to protect you. So, it is not as difficult as it seems. According to my precise calculation, if you are an expert of the level of Yue Wushuang, the odds of success are still very high."
Li Yao frowned and asked, "How high is very high?"
"At least more than fifty percent."
Li Linghai smiled. Flames of craziness were burning deep inside his eyes again. "That means it is almost one hundred percent, right?"
Li Yao sniffed and said, "What if I can really find the special prison area? What will happen then? How will I know which cell General Lei Chenghu is locked in? "
"If everything goes well, the moment you reach the secret prison area will be the moment when we jump out of the void under the guidance of the spies of the Godly Might Fleet and launch a fierce attack on the Godly Might Prison."
Li Linghai said, "By then, the Godly Might Prison will certainly be in chaos. The enemy will certainly transfer or execute General Lei Chenghu as quickly as possible. Both the transfer and the execution will certainly be carried out by the strongest warriors. Therefore, you will be able to find General Lei Chenghu by following those people.
"After the meeting is over, I will send the data and the battle videos of the strongest warriors of the Godly Might Prison to you for careful study. The Godly Might Prison is not extravagant enough to employ battle-type Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators as jailors. So, you will certainly be able to control the situation and rescue General Lei Chenghu immediately.
"There is no telling whether or not the enemy has confiscated General Lei Chenghu's Cosmos Rings. Therefore, we will prepare a Crystal Suit and all kinds of magical equipment for General Lei. General Lei is a seasoned expert himself. As long as he is equipped with the top-tier Crystal Suit and is determined to go on a killing spree, it will not be a problem for him to protect himself.
"The key is how to persuade General Lei to cooperate with us and join the cause of 'Honor the Majesty and Settle the Rebellions' to really defend the Imperium!
"However, I am very confident in your 'persuasion ability'. I believe that you will not disappoint me, right?"
"Rest assured, Your Grace!"
