"Stop talking nonsense for now. We still have to get everyone here out." Kiana said to Old White again, and the next moment she had already taken Old White out of the prison.
A young soldier, guarding an upper level of the prison, yawned in boredom. He stared at the cell wall, his heart filled with dissatisfaction with his job. He felt like a caged bird, trapped in this monotonous position.
"I really don't know what's the point of guarding this cell day after day. Anyway, the people below can't come up." He muttered, picked up a wooden stick and drew boring patterns on the ground.
Just then, an elderly guard came over and heard his complaint. He frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone, "What else can you do besides slacking off all day? This is an important responsibility, and it can't be taken lightly!"
The young guard was stunned for a moment, not expecting his words to be heard. He scratched his head and replied awkwardly, "Yes, yes, I know there's something wrong with me. But, there's nothing going on here, so there's no point in us staying here."
The old guard sighed. He understood the young soldier's boredom and dissatisfaction. And didn't he also want to go back and see his daughter?
The old guard sighed. He understood the young soldier's boredom and dissatisfaction. He, too, wanted to go back and see his daughter. However, prisoners were being brought into the prison almost every day. To be honest, he hadn't been home in a long time.
Just as he was about to say something, a violent commotion erupted from below them. "What happened?" The old and young guards looked down in surprise. Then, they saw a large number of prisoners running up the passage.
Waves of prisoners poured out like a tide, their expressions revealing both fear and excitement. Some carried heavy shackles, while others clutched their chests, as if protecting something precious. Their eyes held a frenzy and longing, as if they had seen the dawn of freedom.
The old guard and the young guard stared at this scene in amazement, completely bewildered. They simply couldn't understand what was happening before their eyes. Their prison was so tightly guarded, how could so many prisoners escape?
As the prisoners poured in, the entire prison erupted in chaos. Prisoners ran everywhere, looking for an exit, and some even started fighting each other. Both the old and young guards were terrified by this sudden situation and didn't know how to respond.
"Hurry, report to the higher-ups!" the old guard shouted loudly. Although he didn't know what the outcome would be, at least someone had to deal with the situation.
The young guard picked up the intercom and anxiously called his superior. However, there was only silence on the intercom, and no one seemed to respond.
The prisoners took advantage of the chaos and fled. The prison alarm also sounded at this time, and the entire prison fell into chaos and panic. The old guard and the young guard watched all this, feeling helpless and angry.
However, just when the two thought they were about to die, suddenly, a light began to flash, and all the prisoners disappeared out of thin air.
The old guard and the young guard were staring at everything in front of them in amazement. Was what just happened an illusion?
Their eyes swept across the empty cell, their hearts filled with disbelief. These prisoners had vanished in an instant, as if wiped from this world.
"I'm sorry, both of you. I didn't mean to do that. I'll take these people away! Bye!" A lively voice came from the air.
The old and young guards looked up in shock, searching for the source of the sound. However, they only saw an empty cell and no other movement.
The entire prison fell into silence, as if everything was just a fleeting illusion. The old guard and the young guard exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with confusion and anxiety.
Chapter 571: Meeting with Prometheus
In Hyperion's restaurant, the gorgeous chandelier emits a soft light, reflecting on the exquisite tableware like stars. The table is filled with a variety of exquisite delicacies, exuding an enticing aroma.
As everyone was enjoying their lunch, Adam walked briskly over to Shigure Kirara, who was sitting at a table. Shigure Kirara's gaze gradually blurred amidst the laughter and chatter, until Adam's question interrupted her thoughts.
"It seems like you like this place very much? Why don't you just stay here?" Adam asked softly, with a hint of teasing and tenderness in his eyes.
Shigure Kirara raised her head, looked into Adam's eyes, and said with a smile, "Hmm? Forget it. After all, I'm an idol who aspires to tour all over the world. Fighting and killing isn't for me."
There was a hint of determination in her bright eyes, as if she had no hesitation in her choice. Shigure Kirara gently fiddled with the napkin on the table with her slender fingers, rejecting Adam's invitation.
Adam smiled faintly, looking at Shigure Kirara's watery smile, a trace of helplessness and regret surged in his heart. Originally, he thought he could kidnap an experienced Valkyrie.
"So, Captain, what do you want to talk to me about?" Shi Yu Qiluo asked Adam again.
"Nothing, I just want to go see your two companions. Can you come with me?"
When Shigure Kirara heard that Adam actually wanted to meet Hato and Prometheus, her face couldn't help but fall.
After all, she really didn't want to meet those two people.
However, since Adam asked to meet him, it was not impossible for her to go with him.
"Okay, but I have to say this first. That woman is always mysterious. Sometimes I don't know what she's thinking. Whether I can see her or not is another matter."
The moment the passage was opened again, Adam and his companions returned to the city.
The building in front of me was still the familiar majestic place, but this time, the door was open.
Adam frowned and asked doubtfully, "Are those two people inviting us in?"
Shigure Kirara shook her head and smiled, saying, "Perhaps. Their wisdom is far beyond our imagination. Perhaps they had already anticipated our arrival."
As everyone was speculating, Alicia suddenly interrupted, "Prometheus is a highly intelligent AI developed by MEI. It possesses strong computing power. Although it may not be as emotional as Aiyi and Ai-chan, it is more outstanding in computing."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Adam immediately asked, "Are you saying that Prometheus had already calculated that we would come here?"
Alicia nodded and explained, "If Prometheus hadn't been there, we wouldn't have been able to transform the End. During the transformation, she not only helped us solve technical difficulties, but also predicted future developments. I think he anticipated our return to this city."
In that case, let's go in." Adam said, and planned to go in directly.
"Hey! Captain, are you really planning to go in?" However, at this time, Pado quickly grabbed Adam.
"Is there a problem?" Adam asked doubtfully.
"That's right, people have already expected us to come, shouldn't we be more careful?" Padu touched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
"Idiot, not to mention that we are not enemies, even if we are enemies, are we not going in because we are afraid?" Adam knocked on Pado's head and said.
"Haha, little Pado, if Prometheus really intends to do something, she can calculate the situation even if we don't go in. Besides, even if the other party has any plan, I don't think it will pose any threat." At this time, Mebius said to Pado with a smile.
As everyone entered the building, the originally dark space immediately lit up with bright lights, illuminating the stairs and corridors ahead, making the entire scene as bright as day.
"Welcome, we have been waiting here for a long time." A girl's voice that seemed to be synthesized by a machine came from upstairs, breaking the silence.
Everyone looked up and saw a girl who looked very similar to Bronya appearing in front of them.
"Prometheus." Shigure Kirara looked up at the girl and spoke her name. Her voice was filled with anger and dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Adam realized that the girl in front of him was the legendary Prometheus, the most powerful computer created by MEI, the most powerful scientist of the last era.
Judging from the other party's attitude, I'm afraid they have really guessed that they will come here.
"Prometheus! You bastards! Did you deliberately let me lead those soldiers away?!"
"I'm sorry, this was Misterin's idea. I'm deeply sorry for the accident it caused you." Facing Shigure Kira's questioning, Prometheus quickly admitted the fact.
But this made Shigure Qiluo not know what to say for a moment.
"Ha, so, I really don't understand what you two are thinking. At least discuss it with me."
Shi Yu Qiluo just felt extremely tired at this moment. If she followed these two people, she would be killed sooner or later.
"Plans cannot keep up with changes. After all, we didn't expect to meet these people in this world." Prometheus had just finished speaking when his gaze shifted to the people beside Adam.
"Hi, Prometheus, it's been a long time." Alicia greeted Prometheus excitedly, but unfortunately, Prometheus still had an expressionless look on his face.
"Alisa, Mebius, Padu Felice. Even I didn't expect you to come into this world. I thought you were completely dead."
"Yeah, that's how it is. But who asked someone to resurrect us?" Alicia said with a smile, then shifted her gaze to Adam.
"We were originally planning to bring Kevin and Hua here, but those two haven't been coming out of Paradise lately, so there's nothing we can do."
"I can't understand." Even Prometheus couldn't understand what Alicia said. However, Prometheus still turned his gaze to Adam and began to look him over.
At the same time, Adam was also looking at Prometheus.
Chapter 572: The Appearance of Feather Rabbit
Prometheus stared at Adam, and he couldn't help but sigh at the strangeness of this era. Whether in the last era or in the entire present era, he had never seen such a strange person.
Although he was a human, he was even more of a Herrscher than the Herrscher. Prometheus was puzzled by Adam's existence and tried to understand the inner world of this mysterious figure.
Just as Prometheus was immersed in his own thoughts, Shigure Kirara suddenly spoke to him: "Prometheus, where is that guy Yutu? We have been waiting for so long, why hasn't he shown up yet?"
Prometheus turned his head to look in the direction of the room and pointed to a room behind him: "Misterin is over there. She has been waiting here for a long time."
Everyone looked in the direction Prometheus pointed, and saw a silver-haired woman walking towards them with elegant steps and a slightly fake smile.
Adam couldn't help but feel puzzled. He felt that Yutu gave him a familiar feeling, as if he was facing Alicia. The aura of that bad woman was full, making him feel elusive.
"Welcome everyone, I'm Mistlin. Of course, you can also call me Yutu. Any name you call me is fine." Yutu said to everyone with an elegant smile. There was a hint of falsehood in her smile, as if she was playing a role.
Adam stared at Hato, his intuition telling him that the woman before him was no ordinary human. She exuded a strange aura, as if she were the embodiment of some powerful being. Adam recalled Shigure Kirara's earlier mention of Hato, and it seemed as if she herself was the very embodiment of the concept of Shaniat.
"Are you Hanagi? I thought I saw Kiana's mother." Adam spoke in a calm tone at this time.
Hatagi smiled slightly, not denying her appearance, but calmly replied, "My appearance is inherited from that Cecilia. After all, she was the closest person to Shaniyat at the time."
Adam couldn't help but sigh that the stigmata were truly a wonderful thing, even one's appearance could be inherited.
"Let's stop talking nonsense. You should be the resistance here, right? The people over there want us to find are actually you?" Adam's tone became serious.
"We have indeed joined the resistance here, but of course we cannot rule out the possibility that your people are looking for someone else."
"Then let me change the question. You should be the real leader of the resistance army, right? You formed the resistance army under the name of Princess of Winter, and then told our information to those people, right?" Adam said again at this time.
"Oh? Why do you think so?" Yutu asked Adam with interest.
"It's just a hunch," Adam replied calmly. He didn't have any solid evidence to support his guess, but he didn't think the possibility could be ruled out.
Adam stared at Yutu, their eyes intertwined, as if at that moment, each other's thoughts were understood by the other. Adam's heart moved, he felt that Yutu might be hiding some secrets, perhaps she was not just an ordinary member, but the true leader of the resistance.
"Unfortunately, that's not the case. Although your guess is interesting, we are indeed not the leaders of the resistance." However, Yutu at this time denied Adam's guess.
"So, who is the real leader of the rebels?" Adam asked again. He didn't give up because he believed that Yutu knew something about the organization.
"Unfortunately, as far as we know, the leader of this organization is the princess here. We don't know who the real leader is." There was a hint of indifference in Yutu's tone, as if Adam's question was just an insignificant guess.
Adam didn't believe Yutu's answer easily. He thought carefully and looked deeply into her eyes. He could feel that she was hiding something important, and these things might be closely related to the resistance.
"Maybe you don't know, maybe the truth has just been concealed from you." Adam still believed that Yutu might know something.
Yutu's eyebrows raised slightly, and there was a subtle hint of teasing in her smile.
"Oh? What basis do you have for coming to such a conclusion?" There was a hint of provocation in Yutu's voice.
Adam responded calmly, "Even though you deny it, I can sense you're hiding something. There's a glint of something in your eyes. You must have a plan for joining the resistance."
Yutu smiled slightly, and there was something intriguing in her smile.
"Very smart, Mr. Adam. You are indeed not an ordinary person." There was a hint of admiration in Yutu's voice.
Adam's heart moved, and he realized that his guess was not groundless. His intuition told him that the secret hidden by the rabbit might be related to the real leader of the rebels.
"Tell me, Yutu, what are you planning?" Adam asked Yutu.
At this time, the atmosphere between the two began to become tense.
"So, do you know what Prometheus and I have been doing?" At this time, Yutu did not answer Adam's question directly, but said this.
"I remember that you were searching for the out-of-control stigmata in various worlds... Wait, are you trying to say that such a thing exists in this world?!"
"Hmm, although we haven't figured out the true identity of that stigma yet, we can now be certain that it is hidden within this country. And the Winter Princess and the leader of the resistance army, one of them could be the out-of-control stigma."
After hearing what Yutu said, Adam fell into silence.
Stigmata can construct their own bodies based on the appearance and memories of other people.
They may not be considered real life at first, but after reaching a certain stage, they will transform into beings like the Feathered Rabbit.
If this is true, then the world is not that simple.
The Winter Princess, the leader of the resistance, and the Ice Queen. Does that mean there are at least three Kianas existing simultaneously in this world?
Adam suddenly felt a headache. Who among these people could be the so-called stigma?
"Of course, we haven't been idle in this world all this time. We've also collected a lot of so-called intelligence. But I don't think we have time to discuss this now."
Just as Yutu finished speaking, he heard noisy footsteps behind them.
Chapter 573: Undead Scourge?
Adam and Hato were concentrating on discussing something important when suddenly, a loud clatter of footsteps from behind the building broke the quiet atmosphere. Everyone turned around and was surprised to see a large group of the Queen's soldiers rushing into the scene.
"It's those damned guys again! Why won't they let us go?" Shigure Kirara looked at the soldiers, a hint of annoyance on her face. She clearly remembered that they had defeated these people before, but she didn't expect them to show up again now. She couldn't help but wonder how these people knew their whereabouts.
The soldiers surrounding Adam and the others remained silent, their sharp weapons tightly grasped in their hands. They stepped forward without hesitation and attacked Adam and the others fiercely.
Facing this attack, Adam gripped the blade tightly, feeling the heat of the flames. The flames on the blade danced, blazing like a blazing bonfire. He met the first soldier's attack, the blade slicing through the man's body mercilessly, the flames instantly devouring his flesh.
However, when Adam's sword energy passed through the enemy, he was surprised to find that these soldiers did not make any screams, but fell to the ground like puppets. Their bodies became stiff and hollow, without a trace of life.
"Something's wrong. Why are these guys acting so strangely?" Shi Yu Qiluo's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. She carefully observed the soldiers who had just been knocked down and found that they stood up again, emitting terrible roars.
An ominous aura permeated the air, sending a chill down Adam and the others' spines. The soldiers' eyes were hollow and fierce, their bodies pierced by the sword's wisps, yet not a single drop of blood flowed. They seemed not human, but puppets controlled by some force.
"Be careful! They're not real soldiers!" Adam shouted.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately dodged the soldiers' attack. They dispersed and quickly found some cover, hiding behind it and watching these strange enemies vigilantly.
