Why is my job panel in an anime style?

Chapter 20 No Brain

boom--

The insect's head exploded like a watermelon, and Li Ang dodged to avoid getting his hands on the disgusting liquid.

Looking at the insect he had kicked to death like a stray dog, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
'So weak.'

[Use Reverse Life Triple in battle, skill experience +4].

[Brawling in prison grants +16 career experience].

[Current job level: Prisoner lv3 (5/300)]

Ignoring the information that popped up on the panel and the sudden surge of power within his body, Li Ang did not let his guard down.

After all, no one knows how many insects are hiding in this pitch-black environment.

Sure enough, two faint crawling sounds soon reached Li Ang's ears.

He made his choice quickly.

Fighting inside the cell is impossible; the space is too cramped, and there's simply nowhere to dodge.

The problem is that Li Ang doesn't know exactly how many insects are outside, and it would be quite dangerous to go out rashly.

Fortunately, he wasn't limited to the Reverse Rebirth Triple skill. With a slight movement of his feet, he arrived at the Xun position of the insect corpse in front of him.

'The character '巽' (xùn) signifies wind and mirror.'

A barely perceptible gust of air swirled and swept across the small cell and the narrow passageway outside.

'Both ends.'

Having obtained the general information, Li Ang felt more confident, but he didn't overestimate himself and simply waited quietly for the right opportunity to arrive.

One second, two seconds
In the pitch-black prison, the white Grim Reaper unleashed a thunderous strike.

bang bang-

Inside the narrow passage, two more insect corpses, their arthropods still twitching, lay before Li Ang.

After confirming that they were completely dead, he went closer to examine them.

'The blood isn't corrosive, but its temperature is strangely high.'

Fortunately, the only threat is its sharp forelegs.

After a moment, Li Ang had a general understanding of the strength of these insectoids, but he did not think that the three insectoids in front of him represented the general strength of the insectoid race in this world.

Just as he lifted his foot to leave, he suddenly turned around, took a step forward, and threw a punch, but then abruptly stopped.

"Hall?"

Li Ang looked at the brown-haired man with a pale face in front of his fist and called out the man's name in a low voice with some surprise.

To prevent insects from launching sneak attacks, Li Ang kept the Wind Mirror running, which is why he noticed someone sneaking around following him.

This person was his cellmate, Evan Hall, who was also the intelligence tool that Leon had used to gather information about this world.

Hall, his face pale, stared at Li Ang and couldn't help but swallow hard: "Brother..."

"So you're a professional."

As he spoke, he glanced at the insect corpses on the ground.

Bullshit "prisoner"!
You told him that this was something a prisoner could do?!

He had witnessed firsthand how these insects slaughtered civilians during this time, and now these terrifying creatures lay here like stray dogs on the roadside.

Moreover, recalling Li Ang's pale appearance and feeling his own face throbbing from the force of the punch, Hall would have eaten ten tons if he weren't a professional with an energy level!
He was filled with lingering fear. If the other party hadn't stopped, he would probably be just like those clueless insects on the ground now.

Thinking of this, the brown-haired man put on a fawning smile: "Brother, can I follow you for a while?"

"?" Li Ang frowned slightly, then stepped back to create some distance between himself and Hall. "Goodbye."

He's not stupid. In this situation, wouldn't it be asking for trouble to bring along a burden who can't even protect himself?

Besides, who knows what the other person is thinking? What if they stab him in the back?

Seeing his lifeline slipping away, Hall immediately panicked: "Brother, name your price, I'll agree to anything I can do!" Hearing this, Li Ang chuckled: "What kind of conditions can a prisoner like you, like me, possibly meet?"

"I'm not Nan Tong."

Hall's face froze instantly. Li Ang's words hit his weak spot, leaving him speechless.

But then he immediately said, in a fit of desperation, "Brother, I can help you scout ahead!"

"Given the current situation, you don't want to just go out like this, do you?"

Before Li Ang could even speak, Hall revealed his abilities to demonstrate his worth: "Brother, I was actually lying to you before. I'm not a commoner. My profession is [Thief], with a lock-picking skill and a feat of controlling aura."

Considering the brown-haired man's earlier claim that he was imprisoned for theft, Li Ang found this explanation somewhat credible.

No wonder he didn't notice Hall's presence at first.

However, this "thief" is most likely sitting at the same table as the "prisoner," so he's far from being able to scam the "Qi Refiner (31)."

After a moment's thought, Li Ang finally agreed to Hall's request.

But before he went out, there was one more thing he needed to do.

Seeing Hall's casual clothes, Li Ang said, "Take me to where I store my belongings."

Each prisoner is required to store their belongings before being imprisoned, but usually it's just clothes.

Led by Hall, Li Ang arrived at the place where items were stored.

After finding Adi Wang, who had traveled through time with him, he quickly changed out of the Taoist robe he was wearing from the Sanyi Sect.

After changing his clothes, Li Ang said to Hall:

"You go ahead."

Hall walked ahead obediently, and Li Ang followed behind him, keeping a distance of three to five meters.

This distance ensures that he can react in time if any unexpected situation arises.

But the two did not encounter any danger until they arrived at the main gate of the prison area.

Along the way, Li Ang subtly asked Hall some questions. According to Hall, because there was no clock, he didn't know how much time had passed since the turmoil began, but he estimated it to be about a day.

During this period, no administrators returned to the prison area, making the situation outside quite obvious.

As for why Hall wanted Leon to take him out...
The answer is simple: if they don't go out soon, they'll starve to death, and the power-deprived prison area obviously can't supply 'Note 10'.

Hall, who was walking ahead, said weakly, "That's all I know, buddy."

Should we go out now?

As he spoke, he gestured to the prison gate, which was now in a terrible state of disrepair.

Li Ang was already planning to leave, since staying in prison indefinitely wasn't a solution. Without much hesitation, he immediately said, "You go out first."

Hall naturally had no objections. He shrugged his shoulders, then tiptoed out of the prison gate and disappeared from Li Ang's sight.

A moment later, his voice came from outside: "Everything's alright outside, buddy, come out now."

However, upon hearing this, Li Ang suddenly frowned.

Something is not right.

Li Ang didn't think Hall was a good person. If everything was really alright outside, he would probably have run away already. But now, contrary to his usual behavior, he informed Li Ang that everything was fine outside.

There are two possibilities that could cause this situation.

First, Li Ang misunderstood Hall. Although he went to jail for stealing, he was a good person and everything was really fine outside.

two is
'Did the insects blackmail him?'

Are insects in this world really that intelligent?

Recalling the three pointed-headed insects he had just encountered, Li Ang fell silent for a moment.
