160: Prologue to the riot!

Terrifying waves, one after another, continuously battered the outer defenses of the Zhaijie Institute.

Surging seawater began to pour into the Zhaijie Institute from all directions.

Inside the Zhaijie Institute, seawater flowed through the cracks into the corridors.

The lights on the main passage flickered erratically, and the sound of electricity crackling could be heard from time to time around the passage.

"Damn it, how did water get into the Zhaijie Institute?" a prisoner shouted.

"Look, the seawater is getting more and more; was that really an earthquake just now?"

"I don't know if it was an earthquake, but I know if this continues, we'll all drown here."

Due to the effect of the zhenxu stele, most of the prisoners held in the Zhaijie Institute had already lost their Forbidden Territory power.

Only a small portion of body-strengthening Forbidden Territory could still be effective, but it only meant slightly better physical fitness and a bit more strength.

The prisoners kept banging on the cell doors.

"Damn it, where are those damned guards? Is no one in charge here anymore?"

"Bastards! Are they trying to drown us?"

"You Night Watchers, may you be cursed! If I ever get out, I'll skin you alive."

The Zhaijie Institute was in chaos, with shouts, wails, and cries for mothers and fathers echoing endlessly.

Among the panicked prisoners, three people remained remarkably calm.

These three were the three Ancient God Church believers imprisoned there.

The Fourth Seat looked at the pouring seawater, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Strange, what happened outside? Why is it not according to the plan?"

"You still have time to think about these questions," the Sixth Seat's tone was clearly anxious, "I think we've reached a life-or-death moment!"

The Twelfth Seat looked at the two of them, "Do you mean to proceed with the original plan?"

The Fourth Seat and the Sixth Seat nodded.

After exchanging glances, the three quickly left the activity area.

They turned left and right, arriving at the restroom.

Even before reaching the restroom door, they heard shouts from inside.

"Don't kick me out, let me hide here!"

"Get out, this place has been taken by us, get out!"

The seawater began pouring in from the activity area, and currently, there was no sign of water seepage here.

Soon, a thin figure flew out of the restroom.

The three believers exchanged glances and walked straight in.

Hearing the footsteps outside, the burly man who had occupied the restroom area stood guard at the restroom door.

"Hey, this place is mine now, you three get lost!"

The burly man's eyes gleamed with ferocity; if he were outside, he certainly wouldn't dare to confront these three.

But this was the Zhaijie Institute; after being suppressed, everyone was an ordinary person, and now that he was facing them, he at least had a natural advantage in terms of physique.

The Fourth Seat looked at the burly man opposite him, a disdainful expression on his face.

"It's truly a Dragon in shallow water being toyed with by shrimp, and a Tiger on flat ground being bullied by dogs!"

"Hehe! So what? Since you're so unconvinced, then I'll make you remember!" the burly man grinned.

"Is that so?"

The Fourth Seat's face showed no fear; he reached his hand into his crotch.

The burly man saw the Fourth Seat's action and burst out laughing.

"What? I didn't expect Ancient God Church believers to have special fetishes?"

However, the next second, the burly man couldn't laugh anymore.

The Fourth Seat pulled out a pistol from his crotch.

This was given to them by Xie Yu for self-defense earlier; with Forbidden Territory suppressed, firepower was the source of confidence.

"Where did you get the weapon?" The smile had vanished from the burly man's face, replaced only by fear.

He raised his hands, "Big brother, don't kill me, I surrender!"

The burly man didn't want to die so soon.

"Surrender?" A sinister smile appeared on the Fourth Seat's face, "Weren't you very arrogant just now?"

Bang!

The Fourth Seat didn't waste words, directly pulling the trigger, and a round blood-hole appeared on the burly man's forehead.

"Ah!"

The skinny man who had just been sent flying by the burly man screamed and ran out; the Fourth Seat raised his hand and fired another shot, ending the skinny man's life.

"Let's begin! We don't have much time left!"

The lights in the restroom also began to flicker; the Fourth Seat led the other two believers into the restroom.

The three of them knelt on the ground, searching tirelessly, and finally, under a floor tile, they found a black cloth bag.

The Fourth Seat opened the cloth bag; inside was an ancient-looking bronze key.

"Found it, this is it!"

The Fourth Seat took the key in his hand; he looked at the Twelfth Seat's face and said, "Do you have any last words?"

The Twelfth Seat shook his head, "To offer my life for Whisper adult is the greatest honor of my life!"

After speaking, he lay down on the ground.

The Fourth Seat glanced at the Sixth Seat; the Sixth Seat understood his meaning and covered the Twelfth Seat's eyes with his hand.

The Fourth Seat took a deep breath, then fiercely plunged the bronze key into the Twelfth Seat's throat.

"Mm!"

A muffled sound came from the Twelfth Seat's throat, and then his entire body began to convulse violently.

His limbs seemed to shrink and wither, like wilting petals.

Soon, the Twelfth Seat's entire body had dried up, and a black fleshy ball even appeared in his throat.

The bronze key was inserted into that fleshy ball, as if they were made for each other.

The Twelfth Seat completely lost the breath of life; the Fourth Seat gripped the bronze key and gently twisted it.

Bang!

As the key turned, the black fleshy ball actually exploded, and a bronze blade about four to five centimeters long appeared within the fleshy ball.

The Sixth Seat looked at the blade and said, "So this is the Blade of Illusion Breaking? Can it really break the Seal of the zhenxu stele?"

"Of course," the Fourth Seat said, "Its Forbidden Territory ranking is 35th; a mere zhenxu stele is no match for it."

The Fourth Seat put away the Blade of Illusion Breaking and left the restroom with the Sixth Seat.

Inside the Zhaijie Institute's observation area, Lin Qi Ye also noticed the abnormality outside.

The observation area's elevation was higher than the prisoner activity area, so the progress of the seawater pouring in was a bit slower.

Lin Qi Ye walked out of his room; ever since he met the Master, he had gained the authority to move freely.

"Is anyone there?"

Lin Qi Ye looked at the empty corridor and found that there wasn't a single medical staff member there.

"It seems something bad has happened!"

Recalling the previous shaking and the chaos outside, an ominous premonition arose in Lin Qi Ye's heart, "Could something be about to happen?"

No sooner had Lin Qi Ye finished speaking than he saw a large patch of water seeping in from the distant doorway!
