Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

When Yi Zanglan entered the warden's office, she saw a group of people, some she knew and some she didn't, all of whom were intently staring at the wall.

She walked around to Yan Zhao's side and then discovered that the wall was covered with photos.

The brutal, cruel, and bloody photos are visual records left behind by the prison warden when he tortured prisoners.

Even though the photos were all of female prisoners, Yi Zanglan found four sisters, led by A Luo, in these photos.

Aro's eyes were being gouged out with tweezers by the warden, and blood was dripping down the scars that ran across her entire face;

Ah Xiang was branded on the face with a hot iron by the warden. She opened her mouth wide in pain, as if she was screaming.

Ahua was suffocated to death by the warden who covered her face with a soaked mulberry paper, imitating an ancient form of torture.

A-Yue, with tears streaming down her face, had half of her face cut off with a knife by the warden, and the cut skin was thrown into medicinal wine.

It is clear that Qingyang Prison is by no means a place of purification that teaches people to repent and do good; on the contrary, it is an even more filthy den of evil.

This place is hell for female prisoners.

"You're back?" Yan Zhao turned and saw Yi Zanglan, seemingly relieved. "Was it all right?"

"It's alright. They found a statement in the interrogation room, so the prison guards ignored me."

"Damn, sure enough, the more I think about it afterward, the more I feel there were clues in the interrogation room. It's a pity I didn't have time to check them that day."

"It's not important, the matter is resolved anyway."

Tang Yunxi walked over, handed the talisman to Yi Zanglan, and then asked, "Can we set off now?"

"It should be."

After saying that, Yi Zanglan took out a mirror from his pocket and brought the talisman closer to the mirror.

"Ah Luo, how do I use this talisman?"

Aro and her three sisters stared intently at the talisman, their eyes revealing an almost ecstatic longing.

[A drop of your blood.]

Yi Zanglan did as instructed.

Not only Yi Zanglan, but also Tang Yunxi, Wu Ying, and Player No. 7 bit their fingers and dripped a drop of their blood onto the talisman.

Then, the next second, something strange happened.

The talisman quickly burned to ashes, and the mirror suddenly fell to the ground and shattered.

It was as if some kind of cage had been broken, and all the vengeful ghosts who existed by relying on the mirror appeared around the player in semi-transparent form.

While others only had one ghost by their side, Yi Zanglan had four. Moreover, these four female ghosts were taking turns stroking Yi Zanglan's face and neck, discussing things in hoarse voices.

"Wow, her skin is so good, and she's so beautiful."

"She's alright, back then A-Yue was even prettier than her."

"I'm not very pretty either."

Yi Zanglan calmly interrupted, "Wait a minute, sisters. Forget about whether they're pretty or not. I want to know what I can do next."

As the representative, A Luo was about to speak, but before she could open her mouth, she turned her head and saw the lewd-looking male ghost next to Wu Ying hurriedly trying to slip out of the office.

The hot-tempered Ah Xiang and Ah Hua immediately pounced on him, grabbing the male ghost from both sides and swinging him against the door like a hammer. Finally, they worked together to break his neck.

"Pah! Men, whether alive or dead, are all the same—despicable bastards who desert their posts!"

Number 14 shrank back in fright and couldn't help but whisper to Wu Ying, "This ghost is already dead, how can it be killed again?"

"Maybe ghosts are also divided into levels, or maybe they didn't die, but were simply rebooted."

Wu Ying made this guess. Although she also found the male ghost disgusting, she wondered if the fact that he had been punished would affect her chances of passing the level.

As she hesitated, Yi Zanglan suddenly asked on her behalf, "If we want to escape Qingyang Prison, do we need the help of this mangy dog?"

A'Luo glanced at her: "Burning the talisman will lift the restriction between us and won't affect your prison break."

"so……"

"So, I'm giving you two choices," Aro said. "Escape directly, or do us one last favor."

Upon hearing this, all the players in the room fell silent.

They could tell that A'Luo's question was not malicious; she genuinely wanted Yi Zanglan's opinion.

I just didn't expect that such a selective mechanism would appear so close to the end of the game.

Yi Zanglan pondered for a moment, considering that this mechanism should only be available to side quest players, and then asked A Luo.

"My friend has been released from prison. Can she leave directly?"

"It's possible, but you have to be careful of those prison guards." Ah Xiang shared her experience, "The four of us had served our sentences, but we were caught again. If you're caught again, you'll die a horrible death."

"You'll have to walk by yourself later," Yi Zanglan instructed Yan Zhao. "Remember to avoid the prison guards as much as possible, and run fast."

Yan Zhao frowned: "I definitely have to go by myself, but you've already made up your mind, haven't you?"

Yi Zanglan pointed at A Luo: "My fellow inmates have already brought it up. If I don't help, I'll seem very disloyal. I'm afraid it will appear in my dreams when I get back. It's very bad at cursing people."

"..."

The three sisters teased A-Luo to her face: "You unlucky thing, even the little girl knows how you like to swear."

"Bullshit, get lost!"

Despite saying that, when A Luo turned to Yi Zanglan, a strange gentleness appeared on her ravaged face.

It told Yi Zanglan: "That old beast absorbed too much of the yin energy of this prison. Even after death, he's no pushover. Only the four of us have a chance to destroy it, but we're still missing a helper—I've been waiting for a long time, and you're the one I'm most satisfied with."

It turns out that the "help" it mentioned earlier referred to helping to get rid of the warden.

It's obvious from this that the warden is definitely the big boss, and the hidden mission in this game is a showdown between the two sides.

If you draw Aro, your fellow inmate, the hidden mission will be automatically unlocked.

Tang Yunxi, who was standing nearby, listened for a long time and then asked in a low voice.

"Well... I'm just curious, how do people like us, who aren't very capable, deal with the warden?"

"You good-for-nothings don't need to worry about that kind of thing," Ah Xiang replied sarcastically. "As long as you run fast enough, that old beast will go after its own kind first."

"..."

This is the key to their ability to increase their fellow inmates' favorability. In the official rules, it is supposed to be the fellow inmates who help distract the warden so that the player has a chance to successfully escape.

Of course, situations like Wu Ying's can also occur, where her fellow inmates are afraid of death and only want to escape, and she will most likely have to race against the warden on her own.

Wu Ying never mentioned that her luck was actually D+, not much different from that of a certain D- curse master, both of them being the kind who were unlucky from time to time.

She asked bluntly, "If you fight with the warden, wouldn't it be easy for us to escape?"

None of the four female ghosts spoke, clearly dismissing the matter, but Ah Yue, being good-natured, nodded.

If a player encounters a suitable target chosen by Aro in the game, and the hidden mechanism is eventually activated, and that target agrees to help, then the other escaped players will gain a significant advantage.

Looking at it this way, her luck wasn't completely bad, even though it was entirely due to Yi Zanglan's choice.

After thinking for a moment, Wu Ying still gave Yi Zanglan a serious explanation.

"If I still had a chance to use my invisibility skill, I would be willing to go with you, but I can't help you now. My first priority is to stay alive."

Yi Zanglan hummed in response, her tone nonchalant.

"You don't need to say that. We're just temporary partners. You can do whatever you want."

"But I want to go with you," Tang Yunxi bravely raised her hand. "I'm your teammate, and I can even be your driver!"

"Put the driver aside for now; your first priority is to find a mother for this child."

Yi Zanglan pointed to the side of her and saw a little boy ghost with a pale face and black eyes, but who was inexplicably docile, tightly gripping the hem of Tang Yunxi's clothes.

A Luo hadn't paid much attention to Tang Yunxi before, but when she peeked over here, her only remaining eye suddenly widened.

"...Isn't this that old beast's illegitimate son?!"
