161: The prisoners' choice!

Lin Qi Ye looked at the increasing seawater at the entrance, and the unease in his heart grew stronger.

He could already see the seawater rising on the glass at the entrance.

If he were to open the door now, with the God Ruins suppressed, he would definitely be swept away by the seawater, dying even faster.

What to do?

Just as Lin Qi Ye was hesitating, he suddenly felt the power restricting him loosen.

Immediately after, his Mental Energy returned to the Zhan Realm level.

“Huh? What’s going on? The power of the zhenxu stele has loosened?”

Lin Qi Ye didn't have time to think much; he immediately rushed towards the entrance, and after taking two steps, his power returned to the Chi Realm.

Could it be that someone had destroyed the Seal power of the zhenxu stele?

Lin Qi Ye knew that something must have happened at the Zhaijie Institute, but the guards would never destroy the zhenxu stele.

Otherwise, the prisoners who had regained their power alone would be enough to flatten the entire Zhaijie Institute.

Not to mention, among the Ancient God Church believers, one was in the Klein Realm.

At the same time, the prisoners struggling in the activity area also felt the loosening of the Restriction.

“Gurgle… Great, my abilities have recovered, I’m saved!”

“Hurry out and see what’s happening outside?”

The prisoners, whose Forbidden Territory had recovered, were overjoyed; the feeling of gaining hope of survival in such a desperate situation was wonderful.

Outside the Zhaijie Institute at this moment, the guards were already dizzy from the huge waves stirred up by Song Zhong.

“Damn it, who exactly is this guy? How can he control such huge waves?”

“Didn’t they say that a human ceiling would come to support us? Why haven’t they arrived yet?”

“Master! Master, please come back and save us!”

The guards completely panicked, and Xie Yu could only save himself now, having no time to think about anything else.

At this moment, at the bottom of the sea, a huge bubble suddenly appeared on the seabed.

Qian Mo and Whisper, lurking inside, looked at Song Zhong on the sea surface, their hearts filled with shock.

“This is incredible; I’ve never heard of any Forbidden Territory that can control such a large area of seawater; this is simply a tsunami!” Qian Mo looked at Song Zhong standing on the surging waves and exclaimed with genuine admiration.

Hearing Qian Mo’s words, Whisper’s expression was not good, “Damn it, I don’t know why Song Zhong advanced the plan; if those useless Night Watchers can’t make it, we won’t have a chance to act!”

“Then what should we do? It seems Song Zhong also has something up his sleeve, just like you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted early,” Qian Mo said.

Just then, a ring on Whisper’s hand suddenly glowed with a faint green light.

After seeing his ring react, Whisper pressed a button on it.

Soon, a short message appeared above the ring.

“Spirit Medium Squad’s whereabouts detected, less than a hundred kilometers from the Zhaijie Institute. Shen Qingzhu.”

Qian Mo also saw this message, “Oh? Whisper, I didn’t expect your intelligence System to be so well-informed?”

“Hmph!” Whisper was overjoyed, but only sneered, “It’s alright, the Night Watchers’ Mysterious squad didn’t disappoint me after all, but they only sent one special squad over; it seems they don’t value Song Zhong much!”

“So what? Aren’t you and I still here?” Qian Mo said with a smile.

“Hehe! That’s true,” Whisper’s expression was like that of a cunning old fox, “This time, the Night Watchers owe us two a huge favor!”

…

Above the sea, one prisoner after another emerged from the water.

They originally wanted to figure out the situation outside, but as soon as they opened their eyes, they were stunned by the sight before them.

They saw that the Zhaijie Institute was already surrounded by towering waves, and surging tides were still coming towards the Zhaijie Institute.

They were now like being confined in a giant water prison.

“Damn it, are you kidding me? Such big waves will kill people!” a prisoner shrieked.

“This isn’t just waves; it’s clearly a tsunami.”

“Hey! Look, there seems to be someone on the waves.”

The eyes of hundreds of prisoners simultaneously looked towards Song Zhong’s location.

Above the towering waves, Song Zhong, dressed in a black robe, looked down at the guards and prisoners.

His black robe continuously fluttered with the sea breeze, and his entire person appeared to have an added touch of the Mysterious.

“Hehehehe…”

“Good morning, everyone!”

Song Zhong stood on the waves, his hoarse voice seemed to have a magical power, and it was surprisingly clear amidst the roaring of the waves.

Everyone was drawn by this voice.

The disaster before them was caused by this man, and everyone wanted to figure out what this man intended to do?

Song Zhong took a few steps forward in the air; without the support of the waves, he simply stood above everyone’s heads.

“Hehehe, you prisoners who have no dreams and can only waste your lives in a cage!”

“Since you cannot change the situation of waiting to die for the rest of your lives, why not listen to my suggestion!”

“I want to ask you one question! Survival or death, what do you choose?”

The prisoners’ gazes towards Song Zhong gradually began to turn fanatical.

“Nonsense, of course, we choose to live!”

“Hahaha, I never thought that one day I would be able to walk out of the Zhaijie Institute alive!”

“Hehe, I still have many dreams to fulfill!”

The prisoners’ desire to survive was instantly ignited by Song Zhong.

“Very good!” Song Zhong smiled faintly, “Then, I will give you a chance, a chance to lead you back to freedom!”

Song Zhong extended his pale palm and snapped his fingers in the air.

With a bang!

A black passage appeared out of thin air on the sea surface.

The black passage was filled with black flames.

Whether it was the wind inside or something else, intermittent shrieks and screams constantly came from within.

Just the deep darkness and terrifying screams were enough to send shivers down one’s spine.

“What is this?”

“My goodness, no matter how I look at it, the other side of this black passage doesn’t seem like a good place!”

“Hey, hey, hey! Do we really want to leave with this suspicious guy?”

Many timid prisoners had already begun to hesitate.

“Hehehe! Time is almost up! I’ll only give you five minutes!”

“Now, the countdown begins!”

Song Zhong looked at the hesitant prisoners, a benevolent smile spreading across his lips.

A few bolder prisoners thought for a moment, then swam towards the black passage.

Lin Qi Ye was also floating on the sea at this moment, looking at Song Zhong high in the sky, a hint of doubt rising in his heart—how was it that he kept running into this guy no matter where he went?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly heard someone call him.

“Lin Qi Ye, Lin Qi Ye! I finally found you!”

Lin Qi Ye turned his head and was stunned, only to see Bai Li Pang Pang swimming towards him, with Cao Yuan tucked under his armpit.
