Chapter 971: Return
The condition for Su Xiao to help Sha break out was to release all the tenants. Was it Su Xiao's conscience that discovered it? Of course not. The life and death of these tenants had nothing to do with him.
Ask, if these tenants all escaped, who would be the most furious? The answer was Alice.
Alice didn't know how many years she had spent imprisoning so many strong people on the first floor. Some were even imprisoned with the help of the castle. This was Alice's hard work and also her hobby, watching those strong people who used to roam the Void being imprisoned in a small room, some even wagging their tails and begging for mercy.
Alice, who had been imprisoned, enjoyed this feeling very much. She treated these strong people as collections. As for the tenants gradually lifting the seal through transactions with the game players to regain freedom, this was simply impossible.
When those strong people lifted the seal through the game players, the energy extraction device in the Forest of the Strong on the fourth floor was their destination. Every day they were injected with life-sustaining liquid, and after energy was produced in their bodies, it was immediately extracted by the castle, used to maintain the normal operation of the castle. That was truly seeking life but not getting it, seeking death but not getting it.
For the strong people who "lifted the seal," Alice had seen enough of their "performance." After playing enough, she threw them to the fourth floor. Wanting to obtain freedom was simply impossible.
These tenants didn't know how many years they had been imprisoned, and during this period, they were at Alice's mercy. The anger in their hearts couldn't be resolved even if Alice was pressed to the ground and rubbed ten thousand times.
If these people all escaped, what would happen? The answer was they would enjoy freedom to their heart's content, and at the same time use every means to become stronger. When they were strong enough, they would return to the castle to take revenge on Alice.
This was Su Xiao's purpose. In the previous games, Alice had tried to kill Su Xiao many times. After failing, she chose to make Su Xiao's identity public, letting everyone know that Su Xiao was a Law-Breaker.
The identity of the Law-Breaker was nothing in the Reincarnation Paradise, and no one would come to trouble him because of a career inheritance. But in the Void, it was different. The Law-Breaker had many enemies.
This was Alice's open plot. She couldn't kill Su Xiao in the castle using methods other than the rules, so she began to create enemies for Su Xiao in the Void.
Obviously, Alice succeeded.
Because the strength gap was too large, Su Xiao didn't think about taking revenge on Alice immediately before. There was no opportunity, and the timing was not good.
Now it was different. Releasing all the tenants on the first floor was equivalent to setting up dozens of immortal enemies for Alice. The goal of these people after freedom was only one, which was to constantly become stronger, and then return to take revenge on Alice.
If Alice really fell into the hands of these people, the result...
Boom, boom...
Sounds of hammering and hitting came. Sha was assisting another tenant to destroy the wooden door. The two were inside and outside, and the cracks on the wooden door increased rapidly. The efficiency was hundreds of times that of destroying from the inside.
With a crack, the wooden door shattered, and a large dark red bat rushed out of the room.
"Ah~ this is the feeling of freedom."
The large bat trembled, and two fleshy wings were raised high. He was Blood Hou Jue.
Sha didn't pay attention to Blood Hou Jue, but went to destroy the next wooden door. Was she so kind because she kept her promise? Of course not. There was an exit to the outside on the first floor of the castle, but the exit also had restrictions. Relying on her alone to destroy that restriction was simply impossible.
Blood Hou Jue's gaze swept around. It was looking for an exit. As for the benefits promised to Sha, it didn't mention a word.
"Congratulations on regaining a small part of freedom."
Su Xiao opened his mouth while walking toward Blood Hou Jue.
"Hmm? Who are you?"
Blood Hou Jue's attitude was not friendly.
"First, you only broke through the wooden door, and there is a barrier you can't break through between you and regaining freedom."
Su Xiao pointed to a metal door on the east side of the first floor. Light patterns flickered on the metal door. Each of these light patterns was as thick as an arm. You must know that the light patterns on the wooden door were only as thick as a hair.
"If I were you, I would immediately help other tenants break the wooden doors, and then destroy that thing together. As long as that thing is destroyed, you will be free."
Su Xiao's proposal was immediately accepted. Blood Hou Jue was not stupid. It turned and rushed to a wooden door, spraying blood light from its mouth toward the wooden door. The tenant inside was overjoyed.
Soon, seven tenants of different races rushed out of the wooden doors. Su Xiao immediately went to negotiate. The content of the negotiation was very simple, which was to let them know the current situation.
The thing these tenants longed for most was freedom. They showed amazing "unity" and "friendship." After all, they had the same goal.
All the tenants who rushed out of the wooden doors were helping others get out of trouble. Even Anlia was holding a wooden board and hitting a complete wooden door fiercely. Anlia was the little girl who had asked Su Xiao for candy. Under Su Xiao's "friendly" communication, she provided Su Xiao with many introduction letters.
5 minutes later, all the tenants rushed out of the wooden doors. About dozens of tenants gathered together, using various means to attack the metal door on the first floor.
Su Xiao had been deploying something, and soon, he deployed a black liquid. A fishy smell permeated.
Carefully putting the black liquid into a test tube, Su Xiao walked toward the metal door.
"Flash away."
Su Xiao tilted his body, and the test tube in his hand was thrown toward the metal door.
Several tenants immediately dodged. With a crack, the test tube shattered after hitting the metal door, and a pungent fishy smell permeated. The light patterns on the metal door dimmed significantly.
"You are lucky. I am an alchemist."
Su Xiao continued to deploy the black liquid. The tenants discovered that the light patterns on the metal door dimmed after the black liquid splashed, and they were overjoyed, starting to attack the metal door more vigorously.
Half an hour later, Su Xiao had deployed a total of 5 bottles of black liquid. Whenever the black liquid splashed on the metal door, the light patterns on the metal door would dim for a few seconds. At this time, the metal door was the most fragile.
The tenants all discovered this. They no longer attacked the metal door indiscriminately in a swarm, but maintained their physical strength. Whenever Su Xiao threw a test tube at the metal door, they would instantly burst out with terrifying attacks. In this way, the efficiency of destroying the metal door was increased by at least ten times.
Su Xiao shook the test tube in his hand, concentrating on deploying, and around him, more than a dozen tenants with terrifying auras stood in a circle with their backs to him. At this time, if anyone dared to attack Su Xiao, those dozen would instantly turn into mad dogs and rush up to kill the attacker.
"Fast. Fast, fast..."
A tenant kept muttering, and Su Xiao frowned.
"Shut up."
Just as Su Xiao opened his mouth, dozens of eyes looked at the muttering tenant. There was killing intent, anger, and ferocity in those eyes. The tenant who had been a desperado immediately shut up.
"Done, this time try to destroy this restriction in one go."
Su Xiao swept across the dozens of tenants, and the tenants nodded one after another, indicating that they were ready to attack the metal door.
Su Xiao threw the test tube, and Blood Hou Jue, Sha, and others stood by.
With a crack, the test tube shattered, and the black liquid splashed. The light patterns on the metal door dimmed. This light pattern was a kind of alchemical array. Although Su Xiao couldn't crack this thing, he could weaken this thing in a short time. His alchemy was not for show.
"Crazy Scorpion Tail Sweep!"
"Blood · Destruction."
"Soul Storm."
"Flash Cannon."
Boom!
A muffled sound rang out, and the powerful shockwave pushed Su Xiao back. He subconsciously blocked his arm in front of him.
A moment later, the shock dissipated, and all the tenants on the first floor disappeared. Outside the broken metal door came laughter and roars.
Just two seconds later, these sounds disappeared, and all the tenants successfully escaped. The first floor of the castle looked like it had been swept by a typhoon.
Su Xiao sat on the ground, waiting quietly.
After waiting for a full five hours, spatial fluctuations appeared, and a woman wearing a crown and a golden dress appeared.
The woman had a gentle smile on her face, looking a bit dusty, and her expression looked slightly tired. From the strong spatial fluctuations, it could be seen that she had carried out long-distance spatial teleportation.
However, after seeing the situation on the first floor of the castle, the gentle smile on the woman's face gradually disappeared.
"You seem to have returned late, Alice."
Su Xiao sat on the ground, holding a cigarette between his fingers, with a smile on his face.
"..."
A look of anger appeared on Alice's face.
"If I were those tenants, having been imprisoned for so many years, I would definitely use every means to become stronger, and then return to take revenge on someone. Hanging is a good choice. I heard that there is a place in the Void called Void Terrace. Just hang yourself there."
Void Terrace, this was the information Su Xiao obtained from the Guozu brothers. The three Guozu brothers didn't know where they learned it, but Alice had once nearly been hanged in a place called Void Terrace. For this piece of information, the three Guozu brothers spent 50,000 Paradise Coins.
A medal flew out of Alice's sleeve. She immediately wanted to grab this medal, but with a crack, electric light flashed, and Alice retracted her arm.
This medal was the "Game Winner Badge." As long as the castle game was passed, Alice had to award this thing. Just now, Alice wanted to forcibly withhold this medal, but the Reincarnation Paradise stopped her move.
Su Xiao grabbed the medal, and a notification appeared. He could return to the Reincarnation Paradise at any time.
"I will peel your skin sooner or later, make your meat into meat patties, that must be a delicious meal, a meal that makes people feel comfortable." 【971-76
Alice said these words through gritted teeth; she had been forced to leave the ancient castle earlier, but when he hurriedly rushed back to the castle, all the tenants on the first floor had escaped. Even though those tenants had marks on them, the distance was too great, and she could no longer sense those marks. It wouldn't be long before those tenants cleared the marks, lifted the seals on their strength, and finally used every means to become stronger, just to come back and take revenge on her.
Thinking of this, Alice wished she could swallow Su Xiao alive, although she was not yet sure if the tenants' escape had anything to do with Su Xiao.
"You will eventually come to the Void again, and when that time comes, countless people will hunt you down."
Alice wanted to kill Su Xiao right now, but unfortunately, she couldn't.
"The wail of a loser."
Su Xiao flicked the cigarette butt in his hand and chose to return to the Reincarnation Paradise.
Bang!
Su Xiao suffered a heavy blow to the back of his head, his vision went black, and he lost consciousness; this was the teleportation of the Reincarnation Paradise.
