Chapter 32: Rule Field, Heavenly Eye Breaks Illusion (2/3)

The inky divine power flowed like a living thing, creeping along the shadows of the prison cells toward Pi Chu Xi and Fang Bo Han’s location.

Cell Six.

A wisp of shadow silently climbed the cell wall.

“Whoosh!”

A flash of silver light, and an Eternal Spear accurately pierced through the shadow.

“What the hell, Pi Chu Xi! Are you insane?!” Fang Bo Han was stunned. “That was obviously Lily coming to collaborate with us. Why did you just kill her without a second thought?”

Pi Chu Xi chuckled. “Couldn’t help it. Don’t worry, she’ll definitely come back.”

Fang Bo Han:”….”

This is so damn frustrating.

Pi Chu Xi personality was like that of a smug, punchable cow cat-always acting all mysterious and annoying.

Why did he have to end up as his teammate?!

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before a larger shadow reappeared.

This time, the Dark Force corroded three huge exclamation marks into the ground.

“Well, well,” Pi Chu Xi propped his chin on his hand, watching the symbols on the ground with interest.

“Someone’s angry, huh?”

Fang Bo Han facepalmed.

He was really afraid Pi Chu Xi would fire another Eternal Spear.

Fortunately, this time Pi Chu Xi finally showed some restraint and half-heartedly apologized.

“Alright, alright, it was just a joke.”

The shadow wriggled, slowly forming two words on the ground: “Collaborate?”

“Tsk,” Pi Chu Xi shook his head. “This method of communication is so inefficient.”

He directly activated his divine skill, [Rune Force].

The golden light of the runes instantly ignited the shadow on the ground but didn’t destroy it.

Instead, it established a communication channel with the Dark Force.

“What are you planning to do?” Fang Bo Han quickly asked, afraid Pi Chu Xi would cause more trouble.

Lily’s voice came through the runes, suppressing her anger.

“You must already have some understanding of this dungeon’s rules, right?”

“The warden is encouraging us to fight among ourselves.”

“My idea is that we must take control of the power ourselves.”

She paused: “So, let’s take out Su Fu first.”

Pi Chu Xi blinked, revealing a meaningful smile.

Fang Bo Han looked at that smile, and his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, he knew that expression all too well.

Sure enough, Pi Chu Xi slowly said, “Take out Su Fu? I actually have a way.”

On the other side, Lily was stunned.

She exchanged a glance with Sam beside her.

Was he serious?

Unfortunately, Sam’s divine power was suppressed, causing his divine skill, [Light of Wisdom], which enhances rationality, to lose much of its effectiveness.

In other words, his intelligence was reduced.

They still hadn’t come up with a good plan.

But this lunatic Pi Chu Xi actually had a way?

But there was no time to think too much now.

“Go on,” Lily asked in a low voice.

“Have you noticed?” Pi Chu Xi voice turned serious. “These wardens only capture people; they never kill. Their task is to lock up the ‘fugitives’ in prison…”

“Moreover, they regularly go out on patrol. Each time, the prison sends out two or three wardens to search for those ‘fugitives’ hiding outside.”

Lily’s pupils contracted sharply: “You mean…”

“When they go out again, we make our move on Su Fu?”

That seemed to make sense.

Without the wardens backing her, what was Su Fu worth?

But Pi Chu Xi said, “No, I’m just sharing this information with you for free.”

Lily: “…”

Sam: “Are you kidding me? This is urgent, what are you talking nonsense for!”

Just then, Pi Chu Xi suddenly said, “What comes next is my actual plan.”

“I’ve discovered a loophole in the prison.”

Lily felt her heart skip a beat.

A loophole?!

But then, Pi Chu Xi’s tone shifted: “However, I’ll provide the strategy, and you’ll handle the execution. No problem, right?”

He chuckled: “But we’ll split the final results equally.”

Lily took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to beat this annoying guy to a pulp: “Fine, go ahead.”

“It’s like this…”

Pi Chu Xi detailed his discovery, and Lily’s expression grew increasingly shocked.

After he finished, Lily and Sam exchanged a glance, both hesitating in their eyes.

Should they follow his plan?

“This guy is too cunning,” Sam whispered.

“And he’s the best at lying, but the loophole he mentioned should be real.”

Lily thought the same.

Although Pi Chu Xi was indeed unreliable, the loophole he discovered seemed feasible.

It had to be said, he truly lived up to being Odin’s chosen.

It was said that the god Odin favored the clever, and while Pi Chu Xi had many issues, his mind worked incredibly fast.

“If we act, the final victory will be ours.”

Lily was clearly tempted.

Sam was still hesitant: “But the risk is too high. What if it’s a trap? Who can guess what that guy is thinking?”

Lily nodded: “So, we have to get them involved too.”

“And it has to be Fang Bo Han.”

“Pi Chu Xi is too shady. I wouldn’t feel safe with him around for even a minute.”

After some discussion, the two finally reached an agreement with the other two.

Pi Chu Xi would provide the plan, and the remaining three would handle the execution.

***

In the office, Lin Mingxi was feeling restless.

“Boss, I don’t know why, but I feel a bit uneasy.”

“This familiar sensation, logically, only used to occur when my prophetic passive ability was triggered. “

But now, the prison is under a powerful divine suppression, preventing even his most basic passive abilities from activating.

“Is it possible that the Warden is planning something?”

Lin Mingxi licked his dry lips, as if trying to grasp something, but his divine power level was too low, and the suppression made it even weaker.

Su Fu shook her head upon hearing this: “It shouldn’t be the Warden.”

“It seems they are preparing to take action.”

They naturally referred to the examinees.

Lin Mingxi was also aware of the situation where Su Fu was being targeted by everyone.

He hesitated before speaking: “Should I use my prophetic divine skill to take a look?”

“But under the condition that divine power cannot be restored, each use of the skill reduces it further.”

He added: “And the divine suppression is too severe; I can only predict a very short future.”

Su Fu pondered for a moment: “Use it!”

Lin Mingxi immediately activated his skill 【Destiny Prophecy】!

The prophetic images then appeared blurrily before his eyes, as if seen through a thick frosted glass, only vaguely catching some fragments.

As he watched, he tried to interpret: “It seems to be a certain place, but not a cell.

“Divine power surging, black divine power… it’s Lily from the Fourth High! But three figures……”

At this point, the images abruptly stopped and instantly dissipated.

Just then, a commotion came from the cell.

Lin Mingxi and Su Fu exchanged glances, worried: “It seems they are about to take action.”

“What should we do?”

Su Fu was quite calm: “Don’t panic.”

“They are just trying to use the prison rules against me.”

But her 【Heavenly Eye of Truth】 was not just for show, and she was also quite curious about what new rules these people had discovered?

“I’ll go over, you stay here. Let’s see what they are up to by playing along.”

Lin Mingxi hesitated to speak: “Boss, you must be careful.”

“Mm.”

Su Fu walked unhurriedly towards the direction of the noise, which indeed came from cell number 4.

Soon she saw the scene in front of cell number 4.

“Ah-it hurts so much!” Lily Waters was rolling on the ground holding her stomach, “Help me!”

“My stomach hurts, I need to go to the infirmary!”

Su Fu raised an eyebrow and directly tapped the cell door with her golden cudgel.

“Stop making noise.”

“Shouting so loudly, are you trying to wake up the entire prison?”

Lily: “…”

Damn it!

Can’t you see she’s in excruciating pain?

Who cares about the others!

Helpless, she could only struggle to lift her head: “I heard there’s a medical room in the prison. I want to go check it out.”

“Medical room?” Su Fu’s gaze swept over their faces.

Lily and Sam felt a bit panicked, their hearts uneasy.

Could it fail?

The medical room-this was the crucial information Pi Chu Xi had revealed.

From his observations, the divine energy there was significantly more abundant than elsewhere, and the suppression of divine power was greatly reduced.

As a favored one of the main god Odin, his divine skill [Raven’s Eye] was a rare scouting ability, highly credible.

Therefore, their plan was to lure Su Fu there, and the moment she opened the door, the three of them would join forces to eliminate her.

Thinking of this, Lily’s palms began to sweat slightly.

Could the first step really fail?

“Bang!”

A loud noise interrupted her thoughts.

Su Fu kicked open the prison door, startling Lily into taking half a step back.

What is she doing?

Is she going to kill me?

But Su Fu just circled around Lily: “Something’s off. You were in so much pain just now, why aren’t you screaming anymore?”

“This illness sure heals quickly.”

Her acting is really terrible, Lily thought, unable to even pretend to cooperate.

Lily’s throat tightened.

Damn it, I was so nervous earlier that I forgot to act!

Just then, Sam’s voice rang out—

“Actually, it’s me…”

His voice was quite weak, and he slowly raised his right hand, which was clutching his stomach.

Bright red blood seeped through his fingers, dripping onto the ground.

Su Fu’s pupils contracted.

Sam is this ruthless?

To make the act more convincing, he actually went this far.

She stared at the blood on Sam’s hand, her eyes flickering.

Seeing blood, so eager to go to the medical room?

So, this must be a special area.

As everyone knows, although there are rules within the field, the rules in each area may not be the same.

Just like different areas of the prison, there might be special rule variations.

Since I got an answer for free, naturally, I can go check it out.

Lily and Sam watched Su Fu deep in thought, their hearts growing more anxious, fearing the plan might fall apart here.

Just as they were feeling uneasy, Su Fu suddenly spoke: “Alright, since you’re really injured, let’s go.”

She turned around, signaling for them to follow.

Lily and Sam exchanged a glance, a flash of joy in their eyes-success!

But just as the three of them stepped out of the cell, a wail came from cell number six across the way.

“Ouch! I have diarrhea!” Fang Bo Han clutched his stomach, bending over like a shrimp.

“Warden, I… I need to go to the medical room too.”

Su Fu: “…”

Disgusting!

Seeing Su Fu’s disbelief, Fang Bo Han offered: “You don’t believe me? Should I demonstrate for you?”

Su Fu: “…Get out!”

She didn’t dare give Fang Bo Han a chance to perform, directly kicking open the cell door.

She was truly amazed.

How could Fang Bo Han say such things with a straight face?

Lily and Sam’s expressions instantly stiffened, clearly not expecting Fang Bo Han to have such a “brilliant” plan.

…Could it have been Pi Chu Xi’s idea?

Su Fu suppressed her urge to hit someone and turned to look at Pi Chu Xi, who was locked in the same cell.

“What about you? Are you going?”

“No, no, no!” Pi Chu Xi shook his head frantically.

“Thank you for your concern, boss! I’m perfectly fine! Absolutely nothing wrong!” Su Fu raised an eyebrow.

So, these were the three of them.

It seemed that the Fourth High and Sixth High had joined forces, with Sixth High even taking the lead.

She understood now. “Alright, let’s go.”

The three behind her immediately followed.

The first step was a success!

The medical room didn’t need to be searched for; it was right outside the cell.

Under the dim light, the walls were yellowed, and the words “Medical Room” on the door were faded and blurred, as if corroded by something.

Standing in front of the door, Lily and Sam simultaneously turned to look at Su Fu.
