Chapter 151. The Condensed Evil Pearl
The ventilation opening was very narrow. Fortunately, Mo Fan knew the Shadow Escape Technique, otherwise he would have been stuck inside. Mochizuki Chika's body was flexible, so she was able to crawl inside.
Upon entering, Mo Fan casually asked what this place was, and Mochizuki Chika told him that it was an S-class prison!
The death penalty is a complex punishment; it does not simply mean killing someone who has committed heinous crimes.
For a person who has committed heinous crimes, death is not the best punishment. The killings and evil brought about by this evil person will cause others pain that will not heal for years or decades. If an electric chair, a hanging, or a shooting can end the matter once and for all, then it is a relief for such a criminal!
The truly terrifying punishment is not a bullet, a moment of pain that erases one from this world, but living but losing one's freedom, being imprisoned for life in a dark, cold iron cage, without sunlight, without anyone else, where each day feels like a year, and the end seems endless!
Those who can be imprisoned here are undoubtedly the most powerful mages in the world.
The passageways inside the East Guardian Pavilion were extremely narrow. Mo Fan was somewhat puzzled as to where all the space inside had gone. Judging from these narrow castle roads, steps, and corridors, it seemed that eighty percent of the space inside the East Guardian Pavilion was made up of walls.
"There's something I need to tell you, consider it a friendly reminder... Your sparring session with our gym leader has been recorded, and it will likely be sent to our national team players. Also, it seems Takagi said he's keeping an eye on you."
In any case, Mo Fan had helped her, so she told him roughly what she had heard before.
In a short while, Mo Fan knocked the three of them unconscious, and the remaining one was also dealt with by Mochizuki Chika.
The corridor was lit by dim candlelight, which cast the shadowy figures of two people on the walls.
Similarly, at the East Guardian Pavilion, troublemakers who cause disturbances are imprisoned in a cursed cell known as the Nightmare Chamber.
"Most of the prisoners in the East Guardian Pavilion have their strength suppressed by restrictions, so a mid-level mage is already considered a very strong existence in their eyes," Mochizuki Chika explained.
Having traversed those narrow paths, Mo Fan didn't see a single cell or door throughout the entire process. The castle gave Mo Fan an indescribable sense of strangeness.
The room was completely empty, looking exactly like a dilapidated basement, but in the very center of the room floated a murky, sinister-looking bead.
"Okay, I'll try my best to knock all four of them unconscious," Mo Fan said.
Is this appropriate?
The cursed chamber will make prisoners drowsy, and those who fall asleep will be tormented by nightmares. They will be so immersed in the nightmares that they cannot wake up. When they do wake up, they will find that they were also in the depths of a nightmare, suffering great mental torment. This is the punishment that the Eastern Guardian Pavilion uses to punish those who disturb the peace. Even the most evil demons have their deepest fears, and the nightmare chamber will dig them out from the depths of their hearts and present them realistically in their dreams. No one would dare to experience that feeling a second time!
You must know, this is the demon's greatest auxiliary weapon!!
Seeing this, Mo Fan didn't say anything.
Fortunately, Tsuruta had already told Mochizuki Chika about the path and the dark labyrinth to be careful of; otherwise, she might not have been able to find it once she entered.
The path ahead began to descend, turning into a spiral staircase, clearly leading to the underground level of the East Guardian Pavilion.
But then it says he's staring at himself?
This surprised him somewhat.
Although Mo Fan had some doubts, he didn't pay too much attention to it. He would deal with whatever came his way.
"Something's not right with this thing," Mo Fan said, offering a reminder.
Mo Fan didn't seem to care much about what came before him.
"It's alright. Anyway, let's get it out of here right away," said Mochizuki Chika.
With this, we would have solid evidence, and Chika Mochizuki could report to her superiors, expose Takagi's greedy behavior, and bring her brother Tsuruta back to justice.
Mo Fan was immediately captivated when he saw the bead!
"Don't worry, those guards won't be difficult for you to deal with, especially since you have shadow-type abilities, which will make things even easier in this pitch-black castle," said Mochizuki Chika.
After dealing with the guards, Mochizuki Chika went to find her brother.
"There should be someone guarding the nightmare room, right?" Mo Fan asked.
In prison, prisoners who have made mistakes are locked in small, dark rooms to reflect on their actions. In those cramped spaces where there is no sunlight and even poor ventilation, time seems to drag on endlessly, and one's spirit may break down due to the darkness and confinement.
"Fine." Mo Fan shrugged.
Mochizuki Chika was certain that if her brother had killed the three guards just now, he would have been thrown into this nightmare room. As long as she went there, she would definitely be able to find out the truth.
The underground hall is shaped like a vase. Mo Fan and Wang Yue Qianxun are currently in the narrower part of the vase opening. There are four men wearing indigo guard uniforms in the long underground hall. Judging from their aura, they should all be mid-level mages.
After a while, the space gradually became more spacious. Mo Fan and Mochizuki Chika hid at the corner below the steps. Mochizuki Chika peeked out slightly, her eyes fixed on a large hall in front of her.
The old-fashioned environment actually made things easier for Mo Fan. In the dim light, Mo Fan became a shadow, clinging to the dark ceiling of the hall as he slowly approached the three guards.
The array point was a very inconspicuous little room, with walls on all four sides and only a narrow opening at the top that one could jump in through.
Following her brother's instructions, Mochizuki Chika began to walk down to the bottom of the East Guardian Pavilion. The Condensed Pearl seemed to be hidden at the very bottom of the castle. However, due to the extremely complex layout of the entire castle, without proper guidance, it was not possible to reach the array point that could absorb the soul power of all the prisoners in the East Guardian Pavilion.
He also has his trump cards, so he doesn't need to be afraid of anything. Moreover, if Sakura were to do something like this, Mo Fan would turn around and head straight for Tokyo to carry out a massacre!
Of course, whether Tsuruta was actually Tsuruta at that time is another matter.
The only light in the crypt came from the faint glow of fire on the walls. The castle's owner clearly wasn't very confident in modern technology, as he hardly connected any electrical equipment.
"You only need to knock out three," Mochizuki Chika said confidently.
Logically speaking, during the Nationalist government era, every country was responsible for the safety of invading students. So, what was the other side's intention in doing this?
"Otherwise, why would I call you here?" Mochizuki Chika said.
For the sake of the Condensed Evil Pearl, we can only say that we should be patient for now!
The two of them were already walking very lightly, but their footsteps still sounded loud enough to be heard from a great distance.
