At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Chenguang and his party arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
After waiting at the door for a while, Li Tianming came out to pick him up.
He thought it was Li Chenguang alone, who wanted to bring a family with him.
A total of four people came, Li Chenguang, Li Shuang, Ling Yexue and Yan Ziyue.
Li Tianming originally wanted to make a joke or something, but under the current situation, he really couldn't say anything.
Looking at Li Tianming's appearance, Li Chenguang couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Li Tianming changed from his usual high-spirited and playful appearance. The dark circles in his eyes were comparable to those of a panda, and his face was a little sallow, as if he was about to die.
"You haven't slept in a few days. You may be dying suddenly."
"I forgot too."
Li Tianming shook his head, wanting to say something, but also felt that what would happen if he told Li Chengguang the current situation of the war.
Only a few people from Li Chenguang could be brought into the house.
While walking, he said, "Currently, people often die in the mansion. The person should still be in the City Lord's Mansion. Although the City Lord's Mansion is surrounded by people and there are barriers, he can come out of the prison quietly, and no one dares to do so." Say he can’t get out of the City Lord’s Mansion, or he doesn’t want to leave the City Lord’s Mansion.”
Li Tianming actually didn't really want to be called Li Chenguang.
Because in his opinion, Li Chenguang was of the same age as him. Although he usually acted casually, when he got serious, he felt that he was the most powerful among his peers.
Even when he was admitted to the hotel last time, he felt that it was because of his carelessness, and it was not because his true strength was not as good as Li Chenguang.
What's more, in terms of martial arts, Li Chenguang can't even match him.
If it weren't for the urgent situation outside the city, he wouldn't have looked for Li Chenguang.
Because I don't think it's useful.
It's just a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor, just give it a try.
Yan Ziyue glanced at Li Tianming and asked with concern, "Cousin, can you do it? You look worse than a dead person. Why don't you go take a rest and let others take us."
"If I don't stay busy now, someone else will die by then. It'll be fine."
Ling Yexue also agreed, "It seems that he is really too depressed and his face looks so bad."
When Li Tianming heard this, he hit the snake with a stick and said, "Ye Xuezhen really cares about me. It's so touching."
Yan Ziyue suddenly lost her temper and said, "Cousin, I care about you too. If you act like this, I can only sever ties with you."
"...Um, we're here, we're here."
At Li Chenguang's request, Li Tianming first took him to the prison in the city lord's mansion.
Walking along a long passage into the underground cell, after turning a few corners, you came to the innermost cell.
The so-called sky prison is similar to an ordinary prison cell.
The furnishings inside are very simple, with walls on three sides and an iron fence on one side. The iron door of the cell is open at this time.
Several people filed in.
The furnishings inside were indeed simple compared to the noble Third Prince of the Dragon Clan, with only a stone bed, a quilt, and a toilet.
That's all.
He was not given any preferential treatment because of his distinguished status.
What's interesting is that.
Li Chenguang pointed to the various gravels on the ground, "Why are there so many potholes on the ground? Has it been dug up when you came here?"
"No, we dug it ourselves."
In order to check whether they had gone underground, a group of people first explored the underground secret passage as soon as they came over.
"Our prison has thousands of elite soldiers guarding the surrounding area. There are several powerful cultivators stationed there. There is comprehensive surveillance covering every blind spot. There is also a detection barrier set up by the barrier master. If someone comes in or out, it will be sensed immediately. .”
It can be said that they are guarded at all levels, and don't even think about it as a fly.
But in such an environment, people still ran away.
Li Chenguang walked around the cell, "I feel like there's nothing fishy here. Is it true that the prisoner's lock can be locked? Is it secure enough? Will there be any problems?"
"Don't ask this kind of question. That's me, my second uncle. I checked them thoroughly when they entered the city. Those who were physically examined were handcuffed tightly. Their necks, hands, and feet could be handcuffed with the highest-grade locks." It’s impossible to use it at all. Even when he was brought into our city lord’s palace, my father personally inspected him because he was worried that the other party would pretend to surrender.”
Everyone who enters the city undergoes the most rigorous body search and examination to determine his race and identity.
Who would have thought that under such strict inspection, the other party could escape.
After Li Chenguang checked the cell again, he could only shake his head helplessly. He really didn't have any clues.
Next comes monitoring.
Many surveillance cameras have been destroyed, but the videos are still there.
The group of people came to the monitoring room full of screens monitoring every corner of the cell.
Open the video and take a look.
It can be seen that that night, when several prison guards were patrolling, they suddenly discovered that Gou Hen was missing.
Then he ran out to call for help in surprise, and then a bunch of senior officials from the Li family came over.
Li Tianming explained, "When we came in, there was no one inside. Then we left some people to check the cells, and my second uncle and I went out to chase people."
Naturally, nothing was caught.
It can be seen from the surveillance that it was a rainy day without a moon that night, the sky was pitch black, and the cell was really dark and terrifying. It was pitch black and nothing could be photographed. Only when the prison guard passed by with a flashlight on patrol did he see anything. I found no one inside.
Li Chenguang sat on the chair in front of the monitoring room and slowed down the video several times to observe the traces in the cell.
Ling Yexue looked at Li Tianming and said, "Didn't we invite a lot of talented people from the private sector? What did they say and what clues did they have?"
"There are more of them. Some say they were recruited using strange secret skills, some say they were teleported by magic circles, and some say they shrunk and ran out of the bars."
Li Shuang thought for a moment, "It's like listening to a fairy tale."
"Yes, these people rely on imagination to find people. We have a barrier here. The energy from outside cannot be transmitted in, and the energy from inside cannot be transmitted out. Unless you break the energy barrier first, as for shrinking or something, Maybe there is a secret technique to do it, but you have to open the lock first and then copy it."
No matter how powerful a person is, as long as he can be locked up once, he is just an ordinary person.
Nothing can be done.
"Moreover, he was not recruited away. He is still killing people in our city lord's palace. He has killed more than ten people in the past two days, all of them killed in one blow."
"We have searched everywhere in the house, but we still haven't found any trace of him."
Even his father was dispatched, and the induction energy was so shocking that it almost enveloped the entire City Lord's Mansion, but...
There was no progress.
The group of people were discussing there, but Li Chenguang was the only one who sat there and kept fast-forwarding and rewinding the video.
Finally, everyone got tired of chatting and started drinking water. Li Chengguang was still sitting there, studying the surveillance video.
Ling Yexue had to remind, "You haven't gotten tired of watching it yet. I can recite everything I've seen. How long are you going to watch these five people coming in and out?"
Li Tianming agreed, "I guess Chen Guang has the same idea as me. I stared at this surveillance camera for 3 hours, looking back and forth, and there was nothing strange."
"Are you sure you saw this video clearly?"
Yan Ziyue came over to Li Chenguang, who was sitting there, and pointed her slender index finger at the five people walking into the cell.
"The first one was General Li Zhengwu, the second one was his cousin, the third one was the warden, and the last two were prison guards. The five of them checked in the prison and came out."
Before Li Chenguang could speak, he felt something heavy pressing on his fragile shoulders, making them overwhelmed.
He glanced at his shoulders inadvertently, and was immediately tempted by the full shape of a water balloon squeezed out by the thin white cartoon T-shirt on his shoulders.
I thought to myself, this guy looks quite slim and slender, which is quite expected, he is probably twice as big as Ye Xue.
Ling Yexue's strange voice immediately came to my ears, "Li Chenguang, are you watching the surveillance camera?"
"Yes, yes, I'm watching, I'm watching."
Li Chenguang agreed quickly like a husband who was caught cheating on his wife.
I was about to say something, but suddenly I remembered something.
Then he looked at Li Tianming and said, "I need to ask you two questions first."
"what is the problem?"
"..."
About 10 minutes later, Li Tianming led a group of people out of the monitoring room.
Li Tianming said as he walked, "The lock on his body is specially made by our government. It can only be opened with our special key, and the key is placed in our supervision room."
Then he took a few people to the general warehouse that stores keys from various places.
There was a row of soldiers standing at the door. Once inside, they were guarded by an elder of the Li family.
The old elder, with sparkling eyes and extraordinary cultivation, saluted Li Tianming, "Young City Lord."
"It's nothing strange."
"Just wait for the other party to throw himself into the trap, if he plans to pick the lock."
There is no movement at all at the moment.
This means that the other party most likely hasn't unlocked it yet.
"Then, I will take you to see Major General Yan Zijun. She has been examined several times and there is nothing wrong with her. He and my second uncle were once comrades in arms. He is an upright man and hates evil. But for the sake of safety, let her stay in the room for the time being. Don't come out, after all, there is a high possibility that the other party will seek revenge on her first."
The group arrived at Yan Zijun’s independent courtyard.
There are also city guards guarding the entrance.
Now there are ambushes everywhere in the city lord's palace.
There were birds chirping and flowers fragrant in the courtyard, and Yan Zijun was sitting in a pavilion drinking tea.
As soon as he saw how many people were entering, he showed a concerned look and asked anxiously, "What's going on, Young City Master, have you caught anyone?"
Li Tianming shook his head, "I have a question for you."
"what is the problem?"
"Before the city of Mingzhou was destroyed, were there prisoners from the Dragon Clan captured?"
Yan Zijun recalled it for a moment, "If you say so...it's true."
"He was also captured and taken to the city lord's palace. The great city wall will no longer be able to survive in a few days?"
"That's true. I am guarding the city and will not enter the city lord's palace. But a few days after catching him, the great city wall failed and the dragon can no longer be restrained. The specific situation is not my responsibility."
Li Tianming understood, "As expected."
Yan Zijun was puzzled, "Really what?"
"The great city wall has a main control room. Such an important control room is usually located in the city lord's palace. This is a secret that is not passed down. It seems that the Dragon Clan knows that as long as the main control room is destroyed, the great city wall can become ineffective. .”
Li Chenguang nodded, "So, he is killing people everywhere in the city lord's palace now. He is actually looking for the location of the main control room, and he may have even found the location."
Li Tianming thought for a moment, "Oops, I'll take you over to have a look. Once the main control room is destroyed, it will be all over."
After saying that, the group followed Li Tianming around the city lord's mansion, and finally arrived at a remote courtyard.
Li Chenguang was almost stunned. This city lord's mansion was too big. How did these people remember the way?
However, I am a little envious. When I become rich, I will live in such a big mansion and bring my classmates to visit. I will envy them to death.
The courtyard felt as desolate as if no one had lived in it for decades. Four soldiers were simply posted to guard the door.
Li Tianming came to the rockery and flowing water in the courtyard, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the rockery. Immediately, the rockery and flowing water retreated to both sides, opening the basement inside.
"This is actually the main control room of the great city wall."
Yan Ziyue was shocked, "Why are you so loosely guarding such an important place? Didn't you just let people sneak in casually?"
Li Chenguang explained, "This is called darkness under the lamp. Most people think that the more tightly defended a place is, the more precious things are hidden. Therefore, Gou Nengjing ran to a crowded place because he didn't want to come there. Moreover, There are probably mechanisms inside, so no one can get in and touch it so easily."
Li Tianming smiled and said, "Yes, just follow me."
As he said that, he walked down the stairs that appeared under the rockery pool.
There is a basement below, and the road is spacious enough for 3 or 4 people to walk side by side. There is a weak voice-activated light above the head, but it is not very bright and will continue to light up as people move forward.
A group of people walked straight in.
Every twenty or thirty meters, there will be an iron gate.
Li Tianming reached out and pressed his fingerprint on the iron door, and the door opened.
Three doors were opened in a row.
Li Tianming showed off, "You are lucky today. There are only more than ten people who have been here, and the only ones who can open the door here are my father, me, and my second uncle. Most people can't get in here. If Without us coming in and opening the door, if we forced our way in, the energy array inside would kill an ordinary person 100 times."
Yan Ziyue looked around, "I don't even want to come here. Why does this place feel so spooky? There can't be any ghosts."
Li Chenguang smiled and said, "It's hard to say. Maybe the ghost has already followed us in."
Upon hearing this, Yan Ziyue immediately hid away from Li Chenguang, with a look of horror on her beautiful little face. She grabbed the back corner of Li Chenguang's clothes with one hand and kicked him by the way, "Don't talk nonsense." Ah, there can’t really be a ghost.”
"Don't pull my clothes, you will tear them."
Li Chenguang clearly felt the pulling force from behind and was trying to stop him from moving forward. By the way, drag your cousin with you. His clothes are expensive and easy to pull.
After walking to the fourth door, Li Tianming finally stopped.
This time he didn't open the door and turned to look at Li Chenguang.
"That's it, Li Chenguang, as you said."
"Well, that should be enough for us. The six of us can rest here."
Yan Ziyue stretched out her index finger and counted herself, Li Chenguang, Ling Yexue, Li Shuang, and Li Tianming, "Aren't these five people? Li Benguang, you can't even count."
"No, there must be six people here now!"
Li Tianming also reached out and pressed the button on the nearby mechanism, and the three iron doors that the people came in with "clanged" were closed one by one, trapping the people in the secret room.
Thank you to the leader of See's Candy for the generous reward. I wish you good health and all the best.
