Greece brings evildoers

 Chapter 207 The most disdainful prison escape gang in the world (5.4k)

The figure half lying on the mountain road looked tiredly at the boulder that fell to the foot of the mountain. He wanted to lie down on one side and take a rest for a while.

But the chains and shackles engraved with inscriptions on his body resonated and vibrated like a red-hot iron, bringing pain that penetrated straight into his soul.

Suddenly, the prisoner let out a low groan, his face twitched slightly, he could only curse a few words angrily, then turned around and hurried back, dragging the heavy chain.

 “There’s no end!”

“So, are you willing to say it? Sisyphus the sinner…”

A warm and calm voice came from the hazy mist. A young man with golden eyes and hair, wearing a loose white robe, stood at the starting point of the mountain with his arms folded.

"What did you say?" Sisyphus, who was dragging his shackles and chains, blinked, looking innocent.

"My brother Thanatos, where did you lure him to?" the young man in white robe asked calmly, not being confused by the other party's superficial disguise.

 “What’s the benefit of saying it?”

"No." The young man in white robe shook his head in response, with a cold expression on his face, "But if you don't say anything, you will suffer the most cruel punishment in the underworld!"

 “Then what am I doing now?”

 “To serve a sentence…”

"Look, I didn't say I was going to serve a sentence. I said I was going to serve a sentence. Didn't I say it in vain?" Sisyphus counted on his fingers and looked at the sleeping **** who came to ask questions with disdain. Hypnos, "You want me to open my mouth for no good? The old river **** Aesops is more sensible than you."

When Zeus turned into a condor and abducted Aegina, Sisyphus, as a witness, sold Zeus's dirty information to the old river **** Aesops who was looking for a girl. flowing holy spring.

 As if being persuaded by Sisyphus, Hypnos frowned and thought for a moment before making a bid.

"As long as you are willing to explain, I can intercede with Hades on your behalf and let him spare you this eternal punishment."

"That means I can go home?" Sisyphus couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he seemed to be quite moved.

"Impossible!" However, Hypnos bluntly extinguished the prisoner's illusions, "Your sins are so serious that even if you are spared the eternal divine punishment in front of you, you still need to continue to be tortured in other areas until you are cleansed. of sin."

“Forget it, I’ve just adapted to this job, and I have no plans to change jobs yet.”

Sisyphus waved his hand with a smile, leaned over and pushed the huge boulder at the foot of the mountain, preparing to complete today's small goal of 100 round trips as usual.

 “Stubborn!” Not getting the answer he wanted, Hypnos was angry but helpless.

This guy is the founder and king of Corinth. Not long ago, his crime of informing the old river **** Aesops came to light, and he was hated by Zeus.

The god-king sentenced Sisyphus to death for blasphemy and ordered Thanatos, the **** of death, to go to Corinth to take away the sinner's soul and make him suffer in Hades.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually kidnapped and hid the God of Death through trickery, causing the world's life and death to become unbalanced.

Although Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon, went to investigate, caught the culprit and threw him into the underworld. But this guy still refused to change his ways. He used sweet words to ask Pluto and Queen Hades for three days to deal with the funeral affairs, and promised to sacrifice for Hades. As a result, he immediately turned against him when he returned to the world, refused to leave, and refused to die. Explain the location of Thanatos, the God of Death...

At this time, Pluto, who had been tricked, was furious. He commissioned Hecate, who was still looking for Thanatos on the ground, to catch this habitual criminal who had entered the palace for the second time, and personally formulated a cruel punishment for Sisyphus.

That is, he is asked to push a huge boulder to the top of the mountain. However, the boulder always rolls down the mountain before it reaches the top of the mountain, and all previous efforts are wasted. Therefore, he needs to repeat this thing endlessly until he puts his soul and will here. Wasted away in the boring and painful eternity of divine punishment.

Unless he can confess his crime and reveal the location of Thanatos, the God of Death as soon as possible, he may be able to obtain a glimmer of forgiveness.

However, this guy was enjoying it and had no intention of letting go.

 Sometimes he even had the mind and energy to make jokes, which made Hypnos, the **** of sleep, very depressed when he came to ask questions.

Hypnos, who was in a bad mood after asking for nothing, was not in the mood to stay any longer. His body turned into black underworld butterflies and scattered into the death fog that filled the underworld.

ˆˆ~~

 “Sisyphus?”

 A low voice came from the darkness, and two slender figures appeared from the gray mist of Hades accompanied by the surge of death.

The prisoner who was serving his sentence was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two strange visitors at the foot of the mountain in surprise, and touched his chin narcissistically.

“Do you know me? Do you think my deeds and fame have spread to this extent?”

　　　…”

“Come on, come on, help me, let me rest for a while, and when I get back to Corinth, I’ll treat you to a drink—the best fairy food and honey, sent to me personally by Dionysus, the **** of wine!”

　　　…”

As the real owner, Lorne looked at the professional liar in front of him who was full of lies, his face darkened, and he was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of helping, Sisyphus could not help but lose interest in the two visitors and hummed lazily.

“I’m talking about friends, if you don’t know me well, what are you doing here? To have fun?”

On the hillside, the prisoner with blond hair and a feminine face narcissistically touched the single golden gemstone earring hanging on his left hanging. He leaned against the boulder with a smile and winked at the pair of golden gemstone earrings. The narrow fox eyes are a playful reminder.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re having fun, I’m just short of a few people to chat with to relieve my boredom, just be careful not to end up having fun yourself…”

 “Oh, what do you say?”

 Hearing Sisyphus's meaningful ridicule, Lorne couldn't help but be curious.

“Friends, this is not a place where everyone is qualified to come, or they are prisoners who have committed serious crimes, like me...”

 Sisyphus pointed to his nose with a smile, and then looked at Lorne and Thetis in front of him playfully.

"Either they are unruly stowaways who were automatically transported to the lowest level of the underworld - Tartarus Hell by [Erebus] due to illegal crossing of the border, such as... you?"

[Erebus] means [darkness]. It is the defense system of the underworld forged by Nyx, the goddess of night. It is the first place that people must pass before entering the underworld after death. It is located between the real world and the underworld. It is essentially three paths. Dark curtain.

 That’s right.

The dark area that Lorne and Thetis entered through the three undersea bronze doors was the Hades defense system called "Erebus" in Sisyphus's mouth.

Due to his own abnormality, he and Thetis were thrown directly to the lowest level of Hades - Tartarus.

This is the most heavily guarded prison in the underworld. Defeated titans, ancient gods and monsters, and sinners who have committed crimes are all prisoners inside. Very few characters can successfully escape.

 “How to get out?”

 Lorne and Thetis looked at each other and muttered with a headache.

They wandered around the dark wilderness for a while. Even with the protection of the [Holy Fire], they still could not find the right direction. If they hadn't accidentally touched the vicinity of this mountain and were attracted by Sisyphus who was pushing a stone, they would not have been able to find the correct direction. I know how long I have to go in circles.

“Don’t know the way? It doesn’t matter, I know this place well! Where do you want to go? I’ll take you there!”

Sisyphus on the side heard the words, rolled his eyes, and took the initiative to come closer, looking extremely friendly and enthusiastic.

Lorne glanced at the jingling handcuffs and shackles on Sisyphus's body with contempt.

"Are you so kind? To be honest, don't you want us to help break the shackles and take you out?"

“Haha, by the way, don’t you need a guide? I just know how to escape from this ghost place. Everyone can get what they need without delaying each other.”

Sisyphus replied with a smile, not at all ashamed that his little plan was exposed.

　　Thetis caught Lorne who wanted to continue taunting him a few more words, and reminded him softly.

 “He’s right…”

"Right, right? This beautiful goddess is sensible. Come on, help untie these shackles first. Be careful not to run into the guard dog walking back and forth if you delay for too long."

Sisyphus took the initiative to reach out his hands and feet, and his familiar tone and winking movements made it seem that the two parties had already hooked up.

 A living person who would take the initiative to enter the underworld is either a fool who does not know the bounds of heaven and earth, or a ruthless character with ulterior motives.

 The fact that they were not lost in that original darkness proves that it is probably the latter.

 When encountering this situation, of course he must seize the opportunity. He doesn't want to spend eternity in this hellish place pushing rocks.

Of course, it is best if the opponent is stupid and can help him hold off the pursuers of the underworld at the critical moment.

However, the habitual fraudster who was secretly planning did not notice the eyes of Lorne and Thetis quietly meeting each other, nor the undetectable playfulness in their eyes.

 Very good, I took the bait...

Since they knew that this was a habitual fraudster, Lorne and Thetis would not easily believe that this guy would be so kind.

 And the reason why they took the initiative to expose themselves to Sisyphus after Hypnos, the **** of sleep, left was not just to be polite and watch the show.

 For one thing, they really needed a guide to take them out of Tartarus.

The probability of finding a candidate in this barren and barren land who is relatively familiar with the underworld and will not expose them is simply lower than winning the lottery.

Not looking for opportunities to bring him into the group is simply a shame for Sisyphus's active performance.

On the other hand, someone must take the blame for disrupting the order of the underworld. Sisyphus's size is just right.

 Furthermore, according to the hatred value of this guy, if you encounter the underworld pursuers who cannot be dealt with along the way, you should first yell "Sisyphus is here" and then throw this guy out. It is guaranteed to be more effective than any type of human shield.

One of the two played a bad role, and the other played a red face. After successfully tricking Sisyphus, they slightly lowered their guard and took the initiative to show some kindness. They were respectively responsible for stabilizing the boulder and breaking the chains on the other side.

Lorne tugged at the chain made of orichalcum, glanced at the familiar spell chain on it, and felt reassured.

 Fortunately, Sisyphus is only a demigod and does not need any high-quality artifacts to serve as restraints and torture instruments.

Otherwise, even if he wanted to recruit Sisyphus, he could only say that he was helpless.

After confirming that it was not difficult to destroy this thing, Lorne was completely relieved. While analyzing the spells on the chain, he asked questions with great interest.

"Speaking of which, why are you teasing the gods? You should be smart enough to know the consequences of such disrespect."

 “How can this be called disrespectful? I am the most pious person!”

Sisyphus was indignant when he heard this and argued with a grievance on his face.

“You see, I simply took advantage of the deception and cunning that the gods gave to mankind. The more successful I am, the more it proves how good their creations are.

 The better I am, the greater the achievements of the gods, and the more noble their existence!

 So, I just express my high respect to the great creators of Olympus in a special way.

It’s okay for them to be unhappy, but they actually threw me into **** for punishment. They were so petty! "

Hearing this, Lorne was startled and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the eloquent fraudster.

 Similar words, he seemed to have said it when he met Athena...

Immediately, Lorne patted the dark boulder in front of Sisyphus, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

“Do you regret being tortured by this meaningless labor day after day?”

Sisyphus’s quibbling came to an abrupt end, but his handsome face still had a cheerful smile.

“Is it really meaningless? On the contrary, I feel very fulfilled and proud. As long as I am here, there will always be something to do.

From my point of view, what I am pushing is not a simple boulder, but a monument of human beings breaking through the shackles and teasing the gods. This is the greatest achievement of my life! "

Hearing this, Lorne looked at Sisyphus repeatedly for a long time, and laughed heartily for a moment.

"Interesting, interesting, then I will accept your monument!"

In an instant, the outline of the [State-Building Spear] appeared in Lorne's hand, and the shimmering edge swept forward, and the shackles under the prisoner's feet snapped.

At the same time, the dark boulder disintegrated and shattered. Hundreds of light patterns floated and flickered, turning into a red-black light band that shot straight into the sky.

 “Buzz!”

Circles of ripples spread out along with the hum of the ether, and the gray-black death energy around them surged like boiling water.

 All kinds of noises, including the grinding of bones, the howling of the undead, and the low whining of hounds, come and go.

 “They’re coming, let’s go!”

Sisyphus, who successfully escaped from the trap, roared when he saw this situation, turned into a gust of wind, threw away Lorne and Thetis, and ran forward quickly.

As we all know, when escaping for your life, you don’t need to be fast, as long as you are ahead of your teammates.

And he was not only the king of Corinth, but also the son of Aiolos, the **** of rain and wind.

 The alias of their family is - [Wind Controller].

 Hence, Sisyphus was confident enough in speed.

unless…

 “Whoosh!”

Just when Sisyphus was feeling complacent, a biting wind blew past him, causing the smile on his face to freeze.

Looking at the "partner" who was still far ahead despite carrying a burden, Sisyphus cursed in his heart.

 That son of a bitch, Goddess of Luck, really allowed me to meet a Hermes-like [Speed]...

 “What are you doing in a daze? Lead the way!”

Lorne glanced back at the temporary guide with a gloomy expression behind him, and took the initiative to slow down a little, keeping only a few steps ahead, as a "kindly" reminder.

 “If you don’t run away, those things you mentioned seem to be coming...”

 Hearing this, Sisyphus was agitated, and immediately squeezed out an expression uglier than crying from his face, and then activated the wind **** in his body to the extreme to start this fatal escape.

At the same time, the death mist surged above the wilderness, and the gathered ghosts of the underworld screamed loudly, waving their translucent claws, and surrounded an escaped prisoner and two intruders.

The underworld beneath the three people also vibrated and buzzed. A white skeleton climbed up from the dark soil, turned the death energy into pitch black armor, and used the white bones as swords and guns. They lined up with each other and advanced toward the center. , trying to annihilate foreign enemies.

“The source is light, the power is fire; the sword is the sword for judgment, and fire is the punishment!”

Solemn murmurs echoed in the gray wilderness of death. The golden roulette appeared behind Lorne, and the pointer turned to the sixth grid.

“—I command you to regain the light!”

　　With the power of the [Flame] flowing in the rhythm of the forward figure, chanting the holy words, and grasping forward with curved fingers, thousands of light-like cracks formed on the gray wilderness, and blazing white flames spewed out from them.

In an instant, the underworld patrolling spirits and skeleton guards along the way, together with the deathly aura surrounding them, evaporated and melted in the blink of an eye, turning into a wisp of smoke that drifted away in the wind.

 “Hiss~!”

Seeing the scene in front of him, Sisyphus took a breath and looked at the temporary partner in front of him in horror.

With one blow, hundreds of underworld patrol spirits and skeleton guards were wiped out. What is the background of this guy?

Fortunately, he didn't do anything extraordinary. Otherwise, his small body would have been torn apart by the opponent?

Just when Sisyphus was secretly rejoicing, a low voice came from his ears.

 “What’s the way out? Where is it?”

“Ahead! Ferry! The underworld is intertwined and surrounded by five Styx rivers. The road is too tightly guarded to pass, but we can go to where we want to go through the waterways!”

Sisyphus quickly replied that under the deterrence of the blow just now, he did not dare to hide it anymore and waited for the price.

"That's good…"

Lorne nodded with satisfaction, and then used the remaining power of [Fire] to draw forward with his fingers.

Hum!

In an instant, a series of magicians such as Hermes, Titan patterns, linear letters, etc. were so excited that they were willing to pursue the mysterious symbols throughout their lives. They gathered the remaining fire and turned into a waterfall of light, spreading in all directions, like magic everywhere. It's like a cabbage, paved on the ground, reflecting the sky.

 Suddenly, a road of pure white light led straight to the ferry of the River Styx.

 The ghosts of the underworld that were reborn in the dead air and the skeleton guards that crawled out of the ground were kept away.

Sisyphus looked at the gray-black underworld exposed in front of him and the densely packed underworld patrolling spirits and skeleton guards outside the pure white light path, and his evaluation of the collaborator in front of him went up a few levels.

Also proficient in magic?

Although I don’t know where this guy comes from, I definitely can’t mess with him!

 “Right there, follow me!”

In order to show his worth, Sisyphus quickly pointed to the Styx ferry ahead and stepped forward to lead the way.

 Lorne picked up Thetis and followed decisively.

Coming!

Seeing that the crossing of the River Styx had revealed its clear outline, Sisyphus was very excited and was about to turn back to celebrate.

Unexpectedly, the temporary partner behind him flew up and kicked him more than ten meters away, almost falling into the churning River Styx.

"you…"

Sisyphus was so frightened and angry that he was about to speak out to denounce his ruthless teammate.

"boom!"

Unexpectedly, a black shadow with three heads, a bronze collar around its neck, and a body as strong as an ox rushed out of the death fog, smashed the light path, and bit him where he was before.

 “Woooo~!”

　　One blow missed, and the monster roared and raised its three heads. Crystal saliva fell from the white gums, and its six dark red eyes stared directly at the escaped prisoner on the edge of the Styx.

 That two-legged beast opposite, smells so good.

At the same time, seeing the true appearance of the monster in front of him, Sisyphus' scalp suddenly became numb and he cursed secretly in his heart.

 Nima, the three-headed dog of hell, Cerberus!

This silly guard dog actually chased me!
