Chapter 387: Even a Lord Ravager do not gets this kind of treatment! A grand gathering in the Shackling Prison!
"Are you joking with me?" Hoolay asked coldly.
"No, Lord! I am serious!"
"And, we must be fast!"
The moment those words were uttered, Hoolay looked at Mok Tok as if he were looking at an idiot.
If Mok Tok hadn't just helped him escape from prison, and if Mok Tok weren't one of his own people…
Hoolay might have slapped him into a puddle of mush in the very next second!
"I have only just escaped this prison, and you want me to go back?"
"Did you bring me out just to get some fresh air?!"
Mok Tok: "No, Lord!"
"My loyalty to you is as clear as death itself!"
"The Borisin are willing to sacrifice everything and brave ten thousand deaths to rescue you."
"But with all due respect, Lord!"
"Once the three generals arrive, we stand absolutely no chance. In the future, we will face imprisonment and torture a hundred times more cruel than before!"
Hoolay let out a low growl.
His claws stabbed directly into the ground right in front of Mok Tok.
They were barely a centimeter away from piercing through his head.
"Are you saying this entire prison break plan was a farce from beginning to end?"
"Everything you have done was merely to turn me and the entire Borisin race into a laughingstock!"
In Hoolay's heart, a monstrous rage was boiling at this moment!
It would have been better if they hadn't tried to rescue him in the first place!
If he returned to his cell now, he wouldn't even need to suffer the punishment of the Soul-Glad Tree anymore. Just what he had seen upon coming out today was enough to inflict immense mental torture upon him!
"No, Lord Hoolay!"
"There is only one way now!"
"Keep this safe."
"This is a specially made Jade Abacus. It will have a signal even deep within the Shackling Prison!"
Hoolay took the palm-sized Jade Abacus.
Having just witnessed Jingliu in Honkai: Star Rail, he understood.
This game was extraordinary!
The things that appeared in it were closely linked to reality.
It seemed that many things in reality were being influenced by this game!
It was just a pity that he had been imprisoned for too long and didn't know what the world had become today.
Mok Tok continued:
"Next, the plot related to our Borisin will appear in Honkai: Star Rail. It is highly likely to feature your prison break!"
"The Xianzhou people will definitely use this to set up a containment perimeter around you in advance."
"I must quickly watch the story play out and come up with a countermeasure!"
"I will hide within the Shackling Prison and bide my time."
"We still have a chance. We definitely still have a chance!"
Just then.
Three streaks of light appeared in the distant sky.
They were rapidly approaching this location.
Hoolay was not a Warhead who possessed only brawn and no brains.
Gritting his teeth, he turned around and sprinted back toward the depths of the Shackling Prison.
As for the chaos inside the prison…
He couldn't care less about it now.
He could only leave it to Mok Tok to resolve.
A dozen seconds later.
Three starskiffs descended from the sky.
The surrounding security measures were activated at the exact same time!
Seeing this scene, Mok Tok was horrified in his heart!
Fortunately, he had told Lord Hoolay to go back just now.
Even if they had forced an escape earlier, they would be no different from cornered rats in a jar right now!
The hatches of the starskiffs opened.
Generals Jing Yuan, Feixiao, and Huaiyan arrived as expected!
Furthermore, squad after squad of Cloud Knights marched out and formed ranks!
Yanqing, Yunli, and Jiaoqiu stood behind their respective generals in turn.
Within a brief half-minute, the area outside the Shackling Prison's massive gates was already densely packed with soldiers!
It looked like an impending downpour!
Mok Tok clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white!
"Damn it!"
"So many people came?"
"Even a campaign to corner a Lord Ravager wouldn't have a lineup like this!"
Mok Tok pulled out a pill from his robes.
This could help him transform into a Foxian.
But with the eradication of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, this was his very last stock.
After swallowing it, he once again turned into a Foxian.
Putting on the Cloud Knight armor he had prepared in advance, he looked no different from an ordinary Xianzhou resident, save for the occasional gloom that flashed across his face.
Just then, in the sky outside the Shackling Prison, more streaks of light arrived one after another!
Some were local Xianzhou starskiffs, while others were various spaceships from the wider galaxy!
Clearly, the players at the livestream venue had relocated.
They had followed the three generals here, as if they were going to restart the grand celebration right on this spot!
Mok Tok's heart grew colder and colder!
Originally, this plan had been moved forward.
They had struck before the Wardance, taking advantage of the fact that the Luofu's forces were all busy maintaining order at the livestream venue…
They had been so close to succeeding!
Yet, right at this crucial moment, Feathered Spirit had released the new version's PV, causing him to lose the entire game!
There was no time to think.
Under Jing Yuan's command, the gates of the Shackling Prison were opened once more.
No matter how they tried to clean up and restore the scene, the signs of the Borisin raiding the prison would definitely be noticed!
Therefore, it was time to implement that dangerous and daring plan!
***
Outside the Shackling Prison.
Guinaifen, under the protection of two Cloud Knights, was conducting a livestream.
She was a bit nervous, but even more excited!
Perhaps because there were so many big shots around, she had to lower her voice.
She whispered to the camera: "Family, yours truly is honored to have been personally authorized by General Jing Yuan."
"This time, we can be considered an official broadcast!"
"As you can see, this giant gate in front of us… has a face carved on it? Anyway, this is one of the main gates of the Shackling Prison!"
"General Jing Yuan's expression is rather grave!"
"Because there should have been prison guards stationed here to receive us, but right now, there isn't a single soul!"
"It's eerily quiet!"
"Could it be that Hoolay has already escaped?"
As she spoke, Guinaifen looked around cautiously, fearing that Hoolay might suddenly leap out from the shadows with a roar.
However, looking at the gathering of the Xianzhou's top combat forces and the growing crowd of players behind them, she immediately let out a sigh of relief.
"With such a massive lineup…"
"Forget Hoolay, even if Hoolay's ancestors showed up, they wouldn't be able to escape!"
As the gates opened, the scene inside came into view.
Guinaifen immediately gasped!
Behind her, the crowd of onlookers also let out a collective exclamation of surprise!
Right at the entrance lay two fallen Netherworld Officers!
The Cloud Knights immediately took control of the scene.
Feixiao spoke up: "It seems we are too late."
"No, these traces only happened a short while ago," Jing Yuan said, his eyes narrowing slightly. "The Borisin invaded the Shackling Prison while the guard was relaxed, but it is absolutely impossible for them to have taken Hoolay and avoided our route in such a short amount of time."
With that, Jing Yuan stepped forward.
Using his authority, he opened the passage leading to the depths of the Shackling Prison.
"Everyone, why don't you come with me to see if Hoolay is still in the prison?"
Huaiyan nodded: "Naturally."
Jing Yuan took Yanqing, Feixiao took Moze, and Huaiyan took Yunli.
In addition to riding the levitating lifts, they had to pass through multiple winding corridors.
Finally, after some twists and turns, they arrived at the bottom of the Shackling Prison, right where Hoolay was kept.
Feixiao let out a cold laugh: "Heh, Hoolay, you should be glad you are still sitting in your cell."
"Otherwise, this time it wouldn't be as simple as just the generals of the Luofu dealing with you."
Hoolay let out an angry roar: "Pitiable Foxians. For thousands of years, it was we who allowed you to survive, we who gave you civilization. Yet, for the sake of the freedom promised by the Xianzhou, you ultimately chose betrayal."
Feixiao and Jing Yuan exchanged a glance.
They could confirm that the fellow locked in the cell was indeed Hoolay.
He had not escaped!
In that case, what was with the chaotic state of the prison?
Just then, a Cloud Knight came stumbling over.
He seemed highly emotional.
The moment he saw the three generals, he immediately fell to his knees, keeping his head low.
In a voice filled with grief and indignation, he said: "General! Your subordinate has fortunately not failed his mission."
"Upon learning that the Shackling Prison was invaded by the Borisin, I immediately led my brothers to reinforce the guard! We stopped the Borisin from rescuing their Warhead, Hoolay!"
"Both sides suffered devastating casualties, but we held the line!"
"We did not let Hoolay escape from the prison!"
Hearing this, both Yanqing and Yunli were somewhat moved.
If the situation hadn't forbidden it, Yanqing would have wanted to quickly step forward to help this Cloud Knight up and say, "You've worked hard!"
However, Jing Yuan simply let him remain kneeling.
After a moment, he spoke: "What is your Cloud Knight serial number and identification? Produce them and let me see."
