Chapter 193 Leng Meng is in danger
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie.
Then, Leng Meng calmly replied, "Received. Continue the evacuation, do not linger."
Neither of them dared to slack off in the slightest, pushing their speed to the limit.
Soon, the heavy alloy door at the entrance to the Δ area came into view.
Lin Feng rushed forward, quickly swiped his card, and verified it.
The moment the door opened, light from the outside corridor streamed in, illuminating several figures hurrying towards them.
The leader was Leng Meng.
She was still wearing that crisp uniform, her long black hair neatly tied back, her face expressionless, but the sharp glint in her eyes revealed the seriousness of the situation.
Her right hand was still gripping the long, jet-black sword.
Behind her were four fully armed elite prison guards.
They wore specially made black combat uniforms and masks with intricate patterns that Lin Feng had never seen before. They held strangely shaped guns with seemingly concentrated energy at the muzzle.
This was clearly not an ordinary patrol team.
"You guys go back to your dorms first, we'll handle this."
Leng Meng's gaze swept quickly over Lin Feng and Evelyn, while she continued walking, leading four elite prison guards straight past them and striding into the Δ area.
As Lin Feng watched Leng Meng's departing figure, the unease in his heart not only did not lessen, but instead grew stronger.
Following the instructions on the note, they reported it, and Leng Meng arrived to handle it; the process seemed to be "correct."
But the danger level of Cell No. 0 is far beyond imagination. Can Leng Meng really handle it smoothly?
"Wait a moment." Lin Feng whispered to Evelyn, who was about to breathe a sigh of relief beside him, then closed his eyes and concentrated all his energy—
[Infinite Deduction, Activate!]
Lin Feng "saw" himself turn around without hesitation, rush into the Δ area again, and quickly catch up with Leng Meng's team.
They moved incredibly fast, returning to that chilling corridor.
The door to cell number 0 remained open, and the sense of "emptiness" inside felt even more viscous.
Without the slightest hesitation, Leng Meng flipped her wrist, and a scroll with dark silver runes flowing on its surface appeared in her hand.
She gestured for the four prison guards to spread out in a fan shape to be on guard, then stepped forward, chanting low, obscure syllables while forming hand seals and channeling her power into the scroll.
The runes on the scroll suddenly lit up, their silver light flowing and transforming into beams of light that shot towards the open door like living chains, attempting to "stitch" it shut, seal it, and suppress the presence behind it.
Silver chains of light gradually wrapped around the door, the gaps in the door seemed to be slowly narrowing, and the unsettling "nothingness" fluctuations inside were also noticeably suppressed.
However, just as the seal was about to be completed and the silver light was at its peak—
A sudden change has occurred!
Inside cell number 0, an indescribable "thing" suddenly materialized.
It has no fixed form; it is like an aggregate forcibly mixed together from countless twisted, wailing, translucent souls, exuding an aura of extreme resentment, madness, and emptiness.
As soon as it appeared, the sealing light chain vibrated violently, and the surrounding walls and floors began to "mold" at an illogical speed.
Leng Meng's face turned pale, clearly under immense pressure, but she gritted her teeth and her fingertips suddenly changed hand seals, moving so fast that they almost left afterimages.
The rhythm of the incantation he was chanting suddenly quickened, and the originally low and obscure syllables became powerful and resonant, like heavy hammers striking the void.
As the incantation burst forth, a faint silver glow rose around her, which was her most treasured source of power, now poured entirely into the scroll.
The scroll hummed and vibrated, the runes on its surface shone brightly, and the silver chains that were originally teetering on the brink of collapse instantly swelled several times over, their light sharp as knives, tightly gripping the door.
Countless fine silver threads split off from the light chain, wrapping around the aggregate inside the door like a spider web.
The moment the light chain tightened, a sharp, piercing wail came from inside the door. The sound seemed to come from thousands of souls at the same time, making one's eardrums ache.
Even the mold that was growing wildly on the walls and floors began to wither and peel off quickly.
The gap in the door gradually closed under the pull of the silver chain, shrinking from a fist's width to just a finger's width, and the suffocating "nothingness" fluctuations inside were almost completely suppressed.
Just as the cell doors were about to close completely, suddenly—
The eyes of a prison guard in black standing behind Leng Meng suddenly lost all their luster, turning into an empty gray-white.
His movements froze for a moment, then with astonishing speed, he drew the tactical dagger from his waist and stabbed Leng Meng in the unsuspecting lower back from behind!
"Pfft!"
The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh was clear and jarring during the simulation.
Leng Meng's body stiffened abruptly, and a trickle of blood spilled from her mouth as the power maintaining the seal instantly dissipated.
The silver chains of light broke and dissipated inch by inch.
The reel cracked with a "snap" and its light dimmed.
The "soul aggregate," now freed from its seal, let out a shriek, burst out of the cell, expanded, and then opened its massive maw to completely devour the fallen Leng Meng.
"No--!"
The scenario being simulated came to an abrupt end.
Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, his forehead beaded with cold sweat.
"Go back to the dormitory first!" Lin Feng said quickly to Evelyn, his tone urgent and resolute. "The deputy warden is in danger; I have to go help her!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already turned around and rushed into the alloy door again like an arrow released from a bow.
Evelyn stood frozen in place. Danger? How did he know?!
But when his gaze fell upon Lin Feng's back as he resolutely and without hesitation charged into the darkness, a stronger emotion in his heart overwhelmed his doubts.
To leave her teammates alone in a dangerous situation? That goes against her principles as a warrior!
"Wait!" She gritted her teeth and shouted, her figure following closely behind as she rushed into the dimly lit corridor of the Δ area.
Hearing hurried footsteps behind him, Lin Feng turned around abruptly and saw Evelyn following behind.
"Go back!" he whispered, his tone almost commanding.
"No." Evelyn's answer was short and firm, her steps unwavering, her stubbornness clearly visible in her eyes.
Lin Feng knew time was of the essence and there was no time to waste, so he gritted his teeth and said quickly:
"Remember, no matter what you see later, do not make any moves without my signal!"
Evelyn nodded solemnly.
The two fell silent and ran side by side through the oppressive corridor.
Turning the last corner, the heavy, open door of cell Δ-0, exuding an unsettling aura, suddenly appeared at the edge of the field of vision.
At the gate, Deputy Warden Leng Meng was already in place.
She made hand seals, and deep, obscure syllables echoed in the air. Runes swirled in her hands, and silver light reached out towards the door as if it were alive.
Four prison guards in black stood in a fan-shaped formation behind her, a scene strikingly similar to the scenario in the simulation…
