Chapter 11 Jailbreak
“Damn it, why are there so many high-security prisoners today.”
The jailer sighed as he sat in the duty room.
In the past, thanks to the wise guidance of Princess Cécile, the Kingdom of Ming Jin usually had few criminals… even if there were any, they were mostly petty thieves, not worth mentioning.
But who would have thought there would be three at once today?
And all of them were young women, which was really strange…
…
And while the jailer was indulging in his melancholy, a light suddenly flashed on.
“What? The cell block door is open?!”
Realizing this, the jailer immediately stood up… Although it might be due to age and disrepair, it would be bad if something unexpected happened.
So he picked up his electric baton and walked towards the door.
However, at that very moment…
“Candelle, quick, trip him!”
“Mm-hmm!”
The jailer’s ankle was kicked.
Then, he fell to the ground, head over heels. A silver-haired girl took the opportunity to straddle him, pressing him down fiercely.
“What… do you want to do!”
The jailer wanted to resist. He raised his electric baton and struck the girl on top of him!
“Wuwu?”
That biting current could make an ordinary person twitch and faint… But don’t forget, who was the jailer hitting? Lonis!
Normally, this silver-haired girl was often bullied by Elus, with electric shocks and maces. The girl had endured many torments. So, this time she didn’t collapse, it was just that her skirt had become a little wet…
…
“Lonis, you, under your skirt…”
“Bai Ye, leave Lonis alone, quickly give it to me, subdue this jailer together.”
“Ah, wait a minute!”
…
Bai Ye’s inability to attack humans was an ingrained instinct.
And although after obtaining the power of the Tree of Origin Collapse, her existence had completely transcended that of a puppet and she had the ability to act independently. However, this instinct still guided her, causing a trace of hesitation in her actions.
And it was this hesitation…
That allowed the jailer to break free from Lonis’s restraint and stand up.
“Damn it, you escaped prisoners!!!”
The jailer angrily swung his electric baton…
His body was broad and muscular, not something three ordinary girls could handle – it seemed he was about to achieve a triple kill and bring these escaping girls to justice.
However…
“Ming Jin Shield!”
“Wh-what?!”
The jailer, living in the Kingdom of Ming Jin, naturally knew the power of the Sword and Shield Guards and the Mingjin Temple. So when he saw a Ming Jin Shield condensed in Lonis’s hand, a trace of shock instinctively appeared in his pupils.
But at this moment…
It was already too late to stop.
The sharp electric baton struck the shield, and intense electric light flickered. Lonis was unharmed, but the jailer fainted from the intense sensation…
…
…
“Hoo, hoo… I didn’t expect the battles of ordinary people to be so difficult?”
Candelle gasped for breath, not from exhaustion, but from fear. Normally, she could kill fellows with combat power below Rank 7 with just a finger.
But who would have thought… the opponent actually had such oppressive power, and almost killed everyone.
“I-I’m sorry! Lonis, Candelle, it’s all my fault…”
Bai Ye lowered her head dejectedly, knowing that her problem was the biggest just now.
They had clearly made a battle plan, with Candelle responsible for tripping, Elus for control, and herself for using the handcuffs… but when it came down to it, Bai Ye flinched.
“It’s not Bai Ye’s fault! In fact, everyone is breaking out of jail to help me, right?”
“Huh…?”
“Bai Ye is completely innocent, right? She was just misunderstood and arrested. After explaining properly, she should be able to leave… But if she breaks out, she’ll truly be guilty, won’t she?”
“!”
“That’s why I should be the one apologizing! I’m sorry, Bai Ye, for implicating you.”
Lonis bowed and apologized earnestly…
However, Candelle jumped up anxiously, “At this time, don’t argue about who is right or wrong. Aren’t we all companions? So we should be of one mind.”
“Sister Candelle… Mm, Bai Ye understands! Then, let’s all escape together!”
The girls looked at each other sincerely, their hearts filled with trust in their companions.
However, at this very moment…
Alarm, alarm! Jailer a-003 detected as unconscious. Alarm, alarm! Detected…
…
“What!”
The sudden alarm startled Lonis.
Their original plan was to take the jailer’s key after subduing him and then sneak out. But the alarm suddenly went off, what should they do?
There must be more people surrounding the exit, trapping the girls.
The situation suddenly became critical, but Bai Ye’s eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something, and said, “That’s right, we can do this too!”
“Bai Ye, what is it?”
“Well, didn’t we use the roots of the Tree of Origin Collapse to protect the entire Royal Capital from invasion before? And I happen to know a passage that runs through this vicinity.”
“Really?”
“As long as we reach there, I should be able to command the branches and leaves to make way for us.”
“Bai Ye, you’ve been a great help, let’s not waste any time, let’s hurry!”
Lonis clenched her fist, both she and Candelle could hardly suppress the joy on their faces.
However…
“But sister Lonis, those roots are at the very bottom of this prison?”
“Uh?”
“It seems to be an abandoned prison area over there, is that okay?”
“That’s perfect, Candelle, go to the drawer and look for the key, and bring that electric baton too.”
“Mm!”
…
…
Thus, the girls walked downwards, heading deeper into the prison.
Along the way, although they passed through other detention areas and saw a few detained prisoners… but these were real criminals, and Lonis naturally did not let them off the hook.
And the abandoned area Bai Ye mentioned was actually the area this prison used in the past.
The Kingdom of Ming Jin had a history of nearly a thousand years, and its prison system was not built overnight. Lonis and the others were imprisoned in a modern prison with lighting and an automatic feeding system.
But the deepest prison had nothing.
It was an ancient dungeon, with wooden buckets for toilets, so as soon as they entered, Lonis smelled a pungent odor.
“Ugh, it’s so- so smelly…”
“No wonder it was sealed off, such a smelly place… Could strange monsters suddenly appear?”
…
Compared to the upper levels, there was no automatic ventilation system here, so the air was very stifling.
If Candelle hadn’t found a flashlight in the guard room, Lonis would have been afraid of stepping into a cesspool.
The girls walked together, gradually heading towards the deepest part of the abandoned detention area.
But should I say…
Are the guards of the Kingdom of Ming Jin all useless?
Upon hearing the alarm, they quickly arrived. And after a brief investigation, the jailers discovered that the door to the abandoned detention area had been opened.
This proved that the escapees had already gone deep into it, and the jailers, armed with heavy weapons, pursued them.
