Squeak...
The heavy and old metal door was pushed open at a narrow angle, and Ree Shil’s head poked out from inside.
He looked to the left and right.
On the left was a deep corridor, and on the right was the end point. His prison cell was the last one here.
Upon inspection, it was safe—OKK.
So he stepped out lightly and closed the door again.
There were no guards or players in the corridor, but the sounds of card battles filled the air.
"I should be the first to come out, I better go find the spell."
Thinking that he was ahead of everyone else, he felt at ease.
But as he passed the cell next door, he was spotted by the player inside.
"Hey! Buddy! Buddy!"
"How did you get out? What’s the password?"
The boy immediately clung to the window, but when he looked intently, he was stunned: "Huh?"
"Boss? How could it be you?"
Ree Shil was also taken aback.
Surprisingly, this person had met Ree twice before.
It was Daniel Smith.
Yes, as an LV9 card player, Daniel had also entered the Instance competition.
The players he had encountered in the first two rounds were from the preliminaries, and they were LV4 and LV5 respectively.
Although he won with a few surprises and no danger, he still managed to win in the end.
"I never thought I would encounter someone I know here."
At this time, he looked at Ree Shil with a surprised and delighted expression.
"How did you get out? Can you tell me what the password is?"
"886."
Ree Shil didn’t intend to waste time on him and continued on his way.
However, before he could take a few more steps, he heard noises coming from behind him.
Click.
"Hahahaha! It really is 886! It’s unlocked!"
Unexpectedly, the guy also got out of the prison cell.
He had the number 98 on his head.
"What kind of luck is this?"
Ree Shil was dumbfounded.
"Thanks, you really helped me out!"
"As expected, in this kind of situation, we pure humans should help and unite each other."
Daniel patted heavily on his shoulder, looking delighted.
"It’s nothing..."
Ree Shil felt slightly depressed.
Since the passage could only be accessed from one end, although he was not willing, he had to go along with the other party for the time being.
As for why he didn’t kill the other party, it was because he thought the timing and the situation were not suitable.
Firstly, the Instance had just begun, and it was best to observe and wait a little.
Besides, he didn’t know what the other party’s superpower was, and he might accidentally get counter-killed if he wasn’t careful.
Secondly, there were still a few other players’ cells on the passage, and he didn’t want to fight in plain sight, so as not to expose his trump cards.
So the two of them walked side by side through the corridor, and whenever they passed a cell, they heard the players’ exclamations from inside.
"Dude, what’s going on with you two?"
"My God, you unlocked it so quickly?!"
"Great God, great God! Can you share any secrets with me?"
"Come closer and let me bask in your good fortune too! Ouch!"
Some unknown creature from inside the cell stretched out a two-meter long tongue and attempted to lick them, but Ree Shil kicked it back. frёeωebɳovel.com
Meanwhile, Daniel was proud and strutted around.
All that was missing was a visit to each and every cell along the way.
Ree Shil silently counted that there were only seven cells in this corridor, which meant the other players must be locked up somewhere else.
When they reached the end of the corridor, there was a crossroad, each blocked with metal double doors.
The left door had "Sector 18" written on it, and the right door had "Zeta-Three."
Both tried it out, and both doors could be opened without too much effort, giving access to similarly spacious passages leading to unknown destinations.
"Let’s split up here, good luck."
Ree Shil spoke.
"Alright, I will remember your favor. See you later at the card table."
Daniel gratefully waved at him, and then walked into the Zeta-Three door.
After watching the other party enter, Ree Shil did not immediately enter Sector 18.
Instead, he waited in place for 30 seconds and then went to the already-opened Zeta-Three door.
"Contestant 98 has escaped! He’s going to Zeta-Three!"
"Contestant 98 has escaped! He’s going to Zeta-Three!"
"Contestant 98 has escaped! He’s going to Zeta-Three!"
After yelling three times, he quickly hid behind the door of Zeta-Three.
Ree Shil hid motionlessly behind the door, watching the situation in the corridor through the narrow gap.
In a short while, he actually heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
As well as Daniel’s curses and heavy panting.
"Whoever you are! I’ll remember you!"
"Jesus! Are these guys dogs? How can they run so fast!"
[Where are you running to!]
[Surrender now!]
[Don’t force us to do it!]
Behind him, there were angry shouts from the pursuers.
In a moment, he saw Daniel’s figure flash past the gap in the door.
It was a dead end on the other side of the corridor, leaving clearly nowhere to run.
After a few more seconds, there were a few more figures.
Due to the limited field of vision, Ree Shil couldn’t see clearly.
He only saw several sets of armor that looked like iron cans, their specific appearance unknown.
"Son of a bitch!"
"Contestant 99 went to Sector 18! Go catch him!"
Soon, furious, impotent rage came from the other end of the tunnel.
Obviously, Daniel had been caught.
[Hmph, this kid can actually unlock the locks]
[This time, let’s give him two Lock Demons! Let’s see how he escapes!]
The guard’s voice came, followed by the sound of locking the door.
As the door locked, the broadcast echoed throughout the ancient palace.
[Ding Dong!]
[This is unfair, Prison Warden!]
[This is unfair, Prison Warden!]
"Hahahaha! Weren’t you feeling pretty smug just now?"
"Getting caught that quickly, that’s just too fast!"
