My Cell Prison

Chapter 23: Fire

Chapter 23: Fire

In front of the door of Han Dong's room.

Chen Li was guarding the door, and after seeing that Edward had launched a search of the first floor of the bungalow, she turned to inquire.

"Do you need me to do it?"

"With nearly four hours left until the event is over, and with the [Evil Spirit] having ruled me dead, we must not let Edward divulge the information that I'm alive, but we can't just kill him either.

Miss Chen Li, let's do so later..."

Han Dong informed out the temporary plan to deal with Edward.

After the latter heard of the plan, Chen Li was slightly worried about Han Dong, "Your body... is it alright? What if the other side detects the trap?"

"It's just simple thinness and poor physical strength, some means of defense are still available... Don't worry, now that Edward is severely wounded and on his back, the chances of him realizing the trap are slim.

Instead, if he sees you in advance, he'll be wary."

"Alright."

Chen Li looked for a corner of the second floor and hid... As for her younger brother Daqing, he remained motionless and hid in an area of the bungalow as planned.

........

"Hiding on the second floor?"

Edward Murray completed his search of the first floor of the bungalow as quickly as he could.

Just as he emerged from the wood room and headed for the stairway....

Under high tension, hearing a hint of murmur mixed in with the sound of the storm.

Suddenly, he turned back to the wooded area outside the bungalow.

A creature in a 'crawling state' was flashing quickly through the night.

It made Edward tremble inside.

"I sliced her mouth open with a steel blade and sprayed hot flames directly into the mouth... Judging from the screams and the injuries at the time, it clearly belonged to the 'fear of fire' physique.

How long had it been? Why are they coming after us?

Cousin was right, the newcomer level fate events, except for the simple task of one star...in the high star events, all kinds of monsters are extremely difficult to kill even if you know their weaknesses.

Even if they are seriously injured, they will recover in a short time.

I need to find Nicholas quickly and buy me some time.

Otherwise...I'll really die!

I must become a Returner, I must join the Order, I must see the outside world!"

Phew!

Hydraulic propulsion.

A burst of high heat steam spilled out from between the gaps in the prosthetic arm, and a sword about thirty centimeters long popped out from the palm of its hand.

Also on his human left arm, he held a wood-chopping axe found in the woodshed.

Edward's killing intent was fully revealed, even if he met [Sinister Chen Li] who was carrying a kitchen knife, he would slash it head-on without fear... Edward had pushed his 'fear' to the lowest level in order to stay alive.

Rushing up to the second floor.

Directly looking towards the 'Room 1' where Han Dong was staying.

However.

Ka!

When the sharp sword pierced through the lock and kicked open the door.

The frail Han Dong was actually sitting on the edge of the bed... it was just slightly bizarre to be found so easily.

All the while, the sound of the storm continued.

Edward could still faintly hear strange cries coming from the wooded area.

It was this invisible oppressive feeling from the 'evil spirit' that made it difficult for Edward to be completely calm and fully consider.

Han Dong had voluntarily stayed in Room 1 instead of going into hiding at the last minute... One could have guessed that there was definitely a deception by using his brain.

But the pressure given by the evil spirit, coupled with the eagerness to kill Han Dong. Let Edward overlook the situation.

After all, facing a guy who wasn't even as physically strong as a woman, with his prosthetic limbs enhanced, he could easily squeeze the opponent with one hand.

Edward said with a fierce look on his face, "As much as it would be interesting to know how you escaped when you were in a group with 'Akaman'... but time is running out right now,

No time to decipher it."

After sweeping a glance around the room to make sure there weren't any traps set on the surface .

Edward's killing intent was revealed, and he went straight for Han Dong .

Click!

Just after taking three steps, Edward actually crushed the ground with one foot and his body plummeted.

The top half of his body was slightly wider than the bottom half, causing his waist to catch just as he was halfway down.

A very simple yet hidden trap.

Edward, who was stuck in the waist and abdominal position, struggled wildly in panic, which caused the steel bars between the floorboards to penetrate his flesh... with no possibility of breaking free.

Dead Game.

Edward stared at Nicholas, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching him struggle, and realized that he had made a stupid, low-level mistake.

At the same time.

There was a click and the door closed behind him.

A woman in red with messy black hair joined in.

Instead of killing Edward outright, the twine that Chen Li had found tied both of Edward's hands in a death grip, and then used a kitchen knife to destroy the key gears on the prosthetic arm.

In this way, Edward became a lamb to be slaughtered.

At this juncture, Edward instead looked relieved.

"Nicholas...you're not just a commoner, are you?

You are not at all on the same level as those who died.

Originally, I was going to keep a frail and sickly civilian like you as a final safeguard. I never expected to keep a rat, or a vile rat that can think.

Are you from the Church? Or a newcomer secretly trained by the Order?"

Han Dong just looked at him and didn't make any reply.

Actually, Han Dong still wanted to get some more information out of him... It was just that it was hard to ask anything out of him looking at him like this.

It was at this moment.

The sound of a bell ringing from the first floor,meant that the evil spirit had shown up and entered the bungalow.

"Go!"

The staircase connecting the window to the first floor was already prepared.

Counting the time, Han Dong and Chen Li left through the window.

After meeting up with Daqing Little Brother, several matches were thrown in successively from the windows of the various rooms on the first floor... The firewood that had been soaked in gasoline beforehand was quickly ignited.

"Go to the cellar."

After lighting the fire, Han Dong and his siblings abandoned the cottage building and headed to the brick farmhouse where they had activated the 'Hidden Event' before.

......

Crunch!

The door to the second floor of the bungalow was flung open.

Akaman, her mouth cracked and burnt black, quickly crawled into the room.

Keeping her head spinning, she stared at Edward who was being tied to the bed, his tongue having been cut out and unable to speak.

Akaman still had some ability to think and couldn't quite understand how Edward had ended up in such a state.

A blast of heat rose from the soles of his feet and the flames had spread fully in the bungalow.

Akaman did fear the natural fire, and to make sure nothing went wrong, she went to do it herself.

There wasn't much fear in the young man of extraordinary birth as ten fingers pressed against Edward's face, and all he could see in his pupils was hatred for Nicholas.

There was no room for maneuvering.

He had lost.

Survivor death, cooldown reset to 2 hours... the current number of survivors is [1]. The restriction will be completely lifted in the last hour.

The evil spirit who received the message was trying to climb out of the building when the bungalow, which was already abandoned and must have been damaged, collapsed as the flames spread completely across the first floor.

The entire bungalow collapsed into the sea of fire.
