Warden

After leaping into the air, Heide, Sector Chief plummeted to his death due to gravity.

As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see.

This allowed him to clearly see the waves of darkness surging from where Lu Bai was located.

And this endless darkness was spreading wildly, covering the entire field of vision at a visible speed.

He couldn't figure out what was going on and instinctively wanted to avoid it, not wanting to get involved in this strange darkness.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

No matter how fast he dodges, he can't outrun a glance.

He didn't even have time to think; he hadn't even landed on the ground when he was completely enveloped in darkness.

If someone were to stand on high ground and look down at this moment, they would see that this darkness, centered on Lu Bai's location, spreads into a pitch-black sphere with a diameter of over ten kilometers.

All light was swallowed by darkness, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

Bang!

With everything pitch black and no visual calibration, Heide, Sector Chief missed a step when he landed, causing half of his body to crash into the building.

Fortunately, he has an incredibly strong physique, otherwise he would have suffered any serious injuries.

He quickly stood up and looked around.

Everywhere you looked was pitch black; there wasn't a single ray of light to be found.

Admittedly, apart from the obstructed view, he did not sense any other danger.

But he remained tense, in battle mode, fearing that Lu Bai might suddenly appear and ambush him.

"What kind of method is this...?"

Beneath the high prison walls.

Lu Bai did not launch a sneak attack as Heide, Sector Chief had predicted.

To be honest, he doesn't have superhuman physical abilities. Even if he has extraordinary talent, he still needs to find a way to cultivate it in order to obtain it.

This has led to him now having to climb this high wall with great difficulty, under the cover of darkness.

Fortunately, the prison walls were not equipped with any high-voltage electricity; they were simply topped with some barbed wire.

It can't be said that the prison cut corners in this regard; after all, those few Section Chief are the real high walls of this prison.

No matter how well-designed the walls are, they are meaningless against ruthless people who can survive the clutches of those Section Chief.

When Lu Bai was halfway up the climb, he heard commotion coming from the cells behind him, and even heard a few sporadic gunshots.

The commotion was indeed quite large, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

Swish~ Swish~

I rubbed my fingers back and forth between the brick walls a few times, trying to make the gaps deeper, before reaching out to grab them.

Lu Bai had not applied for a free climbing course at the Deathmatch Campus, so he could only climb by crouching down and relying on his senses, making it difficult for him to climb quickly.

Fortunately, the wall he chose wasn't too high, and even though his climbing speed was slow, he gradually approached the top of the wall.

He gently pushed aside some of the barbed wire, then used his strength to climb over the wall.

Below the wall was a nearly bare patch of wasteland, and a few hundred meters away, there was a narrow, meandering river, not wide at all, and in some places less than two meters wide.

Without lingering for long, he gripped the top of the wall with one hand, lowered his body to close the distance to the ground, and then leaped down using the wall as a springboard, finishing with a standard landing motion.

He finally managed to escape from prison and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This Deathmatch Showdown was truly a disastrous start. If he hadn't possessed [Flash Time] and [Ink Dye], he would almost certainly have died in prison like the other four unlucky guys.

Monitoring Room.

A man with slicked-back hair, dressed in what appeared to be Prison Guard uniform, pushed open the door and entered.

Behind him followed several burly Prison Guard, and upon closer inspection, one could see that the Prison Guard looked at the man with obvious respect.

The Prison Guard, who was watching the monitor, turned around and saw who it was. He immediately stood up hurriedly and called out in a panic, "Warden!"

The slick-haired man, known as the Warden, nodded casually, then looked at the completely dark surveillance screen.

"Rewind to before darkness fell."

"Yes!"

He observed the encroaching darkness repeatedly, and smiled without much emotion.

"Interesting. Even I can't figure out what kind of method this is. Check the prisoner's information."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the Monitoring Room, saying to the Prison Guard beside him, "Get Heide out here and see me. Don't waste time in that dark area. It's obvious they're not here to cause trouble."

He arrived at the open space and roughly estimated the location of the center of this pitch-black area.

"Hmph, trying to escape."

He calmly reminded the Prison Guard beside him, "Step back a little."

Seeing the warning signs disperse, he lunged forward, clenched his fist, held his breath, and then suddenly threw a punch at the dark starting point.

The punch was fierce and unparalleled, unleashing a massive, overwhelming shockwave with immense power.

Rumble!!!

The enormous sound was deafening.

His punch was like a surging wave, forming a channel that swept through everything in its path.

"Hiss..."

The Prison Guard behind the Warden gasped in unison.

Even though they were certain that their Warden was one of the world's top experts, they were still deeply shocked every time they saw Warden take action.

Lu Bai ran wildly towards the stream.

He didn't cancel the darkness created by [Ink Dye], figuring that the existence of such a dark area should attract the Prison Guard's attention to the greatest extent.

However, just as he approached the riverbank, before he could decide which way to go next, a loud roar from behind interrupted his thoughts.

Looking back, the high wall collapsed in an instant, and the fist wind, which should have been invisible, was so fierce that it was visible to the naked eye.

The scene, which resembled a hurricane sweeping through the air, sent chills down Lu Bai's spine.

Without wasting even a minute, [Flash Time] started immediately.

Everything before him came to a standstill. Lu Bai decisively took a deep breath and jumped into the river.

Time resumed its flow, and the exaggerated force of the punch, carrying a shockwave, swept across the river, stirring up large swaths of water.

Although he didn't take a direct punch, and the water flow absorbed a lot of the impact, Lu Bai was still somewhat dizzy from the shock.

He simply gave up and drifted downstream with the river.

After drifting for nearly three hours, his skin was wrinkled, and seeing that the river was about to flow into the moat, Lu Bai finally stretched his arms and swam to the shore.

After landing, he changed his main title back to "Innocent Smile" and then casually hid his two subtitles.

Otherwise, the effects of these three titles could easily cause confusion among the crowd.

But none of these were as conspicuous as his Prison Guard uniform; he had to change into a different outfit immediately.

He looked at the row of shops along the moat and felt a little relieved; at least borrowing some clothes wouldn't be a problem.
