I'm a villain, not a devil

Black Dove, Guardhouse.

The old prison guard was boasting to the new prison guard: "No one can get close to us unless you have a special token given by His Majesty."

The new prison guard was surprised and said, "I heard some about it before I came here. Brother, is it really that exaggerated?"

The old prison guard sat down slowly. "Of course, the black pigeon is a whole. Under the control of the warden, it is like a living thing. Think about it, if you were a crimson and something from the outside world entered your body, would you not notice it?"

"so smart?"

"That's not all. We at Black Pigeon are even more powerful in our restrictions. Even if the prisoners here don't stay in cells, as long as they are in this Black Pigeon building, they are no different from ordinary people. And intruders will be immediately regarded as prisoners by Black Pigeon and their abilities will be deprived."

The old prison guard sat on the chair boasting, and the new guard immediately took out a cigarette case and handed it to the old guard's mouth.

After pressing the lighter several times without ignition, the old prison guard smiled and said, "The air pressure system of the Black Pigeon is specially designed, and there are some things that neither you nor I understand. So, just to light it, you have to press it dozens of times. You have to be lucky to..."

As soon as the words fell, the flames started.

The old prison guard went over to light it with some confusion, while the rookie opposite him scratched his head in confusion.

I wonder if I am also a sister?

The old prison guard did not notice that a wisp of pink mist was inhaled into his chest through the cigarette holder, nor did he notice that there was another person in the room.

After listening to the story, Sean clapped his hands, then shook off the flame in his hand and walked out of the guard room with a swagger.

He had found the key he was looking for.

Sean blew his whistle lazily, but no one warned or charged him.

This is the ability he gained after being promoted to Crimson, Fox Magic.

In fact, it is an enhanced version of illusion, but the illusion needs to be combined with factors such as the surrounding environment and the user's own familiarity to achieve the greatest effect.

Sean discovered that when fox magic was combined with Mio Shisan's gray fog concealment, coupled with his deceptive heart, he could almost live like a transparent person.

Of course, this kind of blatant illusion can only last for about half an hour. The price to pay is that the body becomes fragile within the next hour. At the same time, for some reason, the etheric layer where the etheric body is located will be targeted by strange things.

The former is not a big problem. When nothing happens, you can just bear the cost. When something happens, you can use the ritual to kill dozens of people to offset the cost.

As for the latter, Sean has not seen the etheric creature that can bypass the Hall of Thought yet.

Passing through the long corridor of Black Dove, Sean opened the door leading to the depths of the prison in front of several prison guards.

The deeper you go, the less living things you can smell. It seems that even the prison guards rarely go to the deepest part.

The Black Pigeon is an underground prison that slopes downwards. The deeper you go, the more important the prisoners are.

According to the information Sean obtained, the third prince Bai You was imprisoned on the fifth floor from the bottom and was considered an important prisoner, while the count and countess, Zhu Zhu's parents, were imprisoned on the fourth floor from the bottom and were actually more important than the prince.

As for the third and second floors from the bottom, the people imprisoned there did not even appear in the information, and not even a single bit of information was found about the prisoners on the last floor.

Sean estimated that his magic might not be able to conceal the defense measures there. Of course, he didn't have any important people imprisoned in there.

Coming to the fifth-to-last floor, Sean turned left and right and stopped in front of Bai You's cell.

It was dark in here, and I could only vaguely see inside through the weak light of the only ceiling lamp in the cell.

Only a dozen days had passed since the last meeting, but Bai You looked much more haggard. In fact, the Third Prince, who was not even thirty years old, had his temples turned white.

"Tsk tsk, what a life."

Bai You looked up in confusion, and then he saw that the lock of his cell had loosened and the door was pushed open.

A figure slowly emerged, it was Sean.

He was actually able to bypass the Black Pigeon Prison’s defenses... Bai You’s pupils contracted.

"You came."

Sean nodded in response and put down a row of medicines and several vacuum bags.

"Supplements and some compressed food." Sean raised his head and looked around. "Compared to the environment here, it should be okay?"

When Bai You saw the food, his eyes lit up. Without saying a word, he walked forward, tore open the bag, and began to gobble it up.

Apparently, dry and tasteless compressed food is also a delicacy to him.

Sean bent down again and placed a cigarette and several lighters on the ground.

He didn't throw it away, but put it neatly beside him.

Bai You noticed Sean's actions. He paused in his wolfing posture, then quickly swallowed the food in his mouth.

Bai You raised his head and glanced at the open cell door behind Sean: "You are more trustworthy than I thought, but the cell door is open and I can't get out."

Sean chuckled, "Even if you can get out, I have to stuff you back in, otherwise I will be discovered. This time I came mainly to give you something to make your life easier."

Originally, Sean had not planned to take a detour, but Elisa Lam had indeed been working very hard during this period. Somehow, when he looked at Bai You, he always felt a sense of kindness welling up in him.

Bai You ate much slower this time. He chewed the food in his mouth and said calmly, "When will your plan be implemented?"

Sean shrugged: "There's no rush for now. The Empire is at war, which will delay progress a bit."

"Fighting?" Bai You frowned.

Prisoners have no access to information and it is impossible for them to know what is happening in the outside world.

I casually told Bai You about the outside world, and the latter frowned and said, "It sounds like a creature from the other side of the sea."

"Are you sure?" Sean asked.

Bai You shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I usually like to collect all kinds of information from rumors. Moreover, I have thought about whether it is possible to cross the violent sea. Although it turned out not to be feasible in the end, I have collected a lot of things."

He continued, "The legend of the Raging Sea is just a rumor, and there is no information about it in the imperial capital. But I have been to several tribes along the coast, and the elders there said they have seen creatures from the other side of the sea. According to rumors, they look like humans with shark heads. They look slightly different at different times of the day, and everyone is a good diver."

Sean frowned. This was inconsistent with the enemy bodies he had seen.

Noticing Sean's expression, Bai You pursed his lips and said, "It is rumored that they are very good at hiding. They can blend into the water and swim in the sand... I can't remember the specific information. If my residence has not been sealed, you can go to the study to have a look. The secret door is above the seventh ornament on the left hand side of the door. Twist left three times and right four times. The password is..."

Bai You was much more cheerful the last time they met. It seemed that these days in prison had made him grow a lot.

After writing down the password, Sean stood up and waved his hand: "Let's go."

"Come to me whenever you want to implement the plan."

"understood."

Sean's figure disappeared into the cell and the door closed again.

After staring blankly for a while, Bai You picked up the food in his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

After drinking another bottle of tonic, he stuffed the rest under the straw mat.

When the tattered straw mat was lifted, one could see the pale names scratched on it with fingernails, densely packed, all of them were Bai Si.

……

After going down to the fourth-to-last floor, Sean looked around.

The space was getting smaller and smaller. There were about thirty cells on Baiyou's floor, and half of them were filled with people.

By the time we got here, there were probably only half of the cells left. Moreover, the cells here didn't even have the almost dim ceiling lights. The entire floor was powered by the only lamp in the corridor.

It was unusually quiet here, and from time to time one could hear the sound of broken breathing and water dripping in the cell.

"Tsk, life here is even harder."

There were only a few cells, and Sean quickly found his target.

Two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, were locked up in adjacent cells. This seemed to be the last act of mercy.

They leaned weakly against the wall, each stretched out a hand from the railing, and held each other weakly but stubbornly.

This seemed to be the last thought of the Countess.

Both of them were extremely thin. If it weren't for the characteristics information Zhu Zhu gave him, Sean would not have been able to recognize their true identities.

Sean revealed himself slightly and tried to talk to the two.

However, no one knew what kind of torture these two people had suffered. Even when Sean suddenly appeared, they seemed unable to see it.

However, when Sean tried to separate their clenched hands, they would crawl forward in panic and hold on to each other tightly, even though their arms were only skin and bones.

“What kind of life is this fourth-to-last floor? Even my illusion doesn’t work…” After trying a few times, Sean shook his head helplessly and stood up.

The Count and Countess were already half crazy. Sean could even directly sense the disordered madness and despair in their etheric bodies.

If the situation continues for another half month, even if they don't die, they will become completely demented, and the etheric body will be completely destroyed.

Here at Black Dove, it is very likely that the deeper you go, the greater the damage to the etheric body, and this erosion occurs unconsciously, so it is impossible for the prisoners whose abilities have been restrained to resist.

"No wonder I can't escape..." Sean muttered.

Since it is not possible to take people out directly, we still have to find a way to enable them to communicate. However, I am afraid that this cannot be done this time.

Fortunately, Sean had anticipated this. He took out the prepared medicine, thought for a while, and reduced the dosage by half again.

The needles were pushed into the bodies of the Count and his wife respectively. As the medicine entered their bodies, a gleam of light gradually appeared in their eyes.

However, they are too weak to be replenished. If large doses are used to awaken the vitality of their bodies and stimulate their mental strength, the count and his wife will probably explode and die.

"Tsk, I have to find another chance to do it again."

Sean stood up and stretched.

At this moment, suddenly, the door leading to the third-to-last floor shook violently.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was a deafening knocking sound behind the door, as if the person behind was trying to break the door down and escape.

"The last four floors are like this, how can the people on the third floor still have the strength left? Didn't they say that their superpowers are restricted and their prosthetics are dismantled..."

Sean muttered, but he didn't move closer to the door, but was drowned in the air.

With this commotion, the prison guards should come to check on the situation soon, and he would have to leave.

However, the knocking sound behind him continued, and Sean did not encounter any prison guards on his way up.

He frowned slightly, something happened to the black pigeon...

Sure enough, after arriving at the upper area, the noise grew louder.

"Someone robbed the prison?"

Sean stepped in and what came into view was an endless fire.

The prisoners imprisoned here have already rushed out of their cages. They were causing chaos everywhere, and some even rushed directly towards the team of prison guards.

The old prison guard with whom Sean had lit a cigarette was in the center of the crowd, his arms having turned into sharp blades.

He chopped a prisoner who rushed over into two pieces, and roared: "The ban on killing has been lifted. Anyone who escapes from the cell will be killed!"

"kill!"

The prison guards here are all good and very imposing, but the prisoners did not pose any obstacle to them, but it was the outside that did.

Something was forcing them to retreat.

Sean walked up the wall and casually made his way through the crowd.

He finally saw the prisoner.

A team of nearly a hundred people has rushed into the hall of Black Dove. They are shouting and killing at the prison guards frantically, trying to rush in without fear of death.

Their skin was all dark brown, their necks were like entangled branches, and the soles of each person's feet were firmly attached to the ground as if they had roots.

enemy……

Sean's pupils shrank slightly.

According to the information we received before, the enemy’s main force should be near the city of Ilia. How come another group of them appeared here in Black Pigeon?

wrong……

Sean realized immediately that this was not that team.

This is the second one.

What's even more bizarre is that Sean discovered that all the enemies here are the ones he's looking at?!

How can this be……

Being in the eyes of others is a rare phenomenon, and it usually only occurs in people who have used other people's genes. Moreover, the closer to the deep red, the greater the probability of having someone in the eyes appearing.

But among all the enemies here, there are king-level, quasi-king-level, and even elite-level, but there is no crimson.

It is possible to reach the peak of the king level, but other levels of strength should not support the emergence of people of interest.

Besides, how could there be a group of people who were all in the spotlight...

Sean frowned as he looked over the crowd shouting and killing. These enemies were extremely crazy, and they all seemed to be very good at using energy. The prison guards were beginning to be unable to hold on.

Slowly floating up, Sean saw that the outer gate of Black Pigeon was closed, but more enemies were already there, bombarding frantically and trying to rush in.

A quick glance revealed that the team here consisted of at least more than two thousand people.

"It's the second team... It's strange, how come so many of them rushed in..."

As I was thinking, suddenly, a strange wave came.

Sean retreated ten meters in the air, and where he had just stood, an iron-black plant shot up into the sky!

If I had been half a step slower, I would have been pierced.

Someone has seen through my illusion...

Sean looked down and finally fixed his eyes on a thorny bush in the yard that was more than one meter tall.

Noticing Sean's gaze, the thorn bush changed.

Deep red...

As soon as the thought came to his mind, dozens of iron-blue plants broke out of the ground and stabbed Sean!

The bushman licked the sap and looked at Sean who had escaped: "The warden is not here... who are you?"
