Back in Prison

In the abandoned Boiler Room, more than a dozen Great Fireball heated the cold boiler until it was red-hot to the touch.

Freddy in front of Fang Yu kept disappearing and reappearing, looking horribly disheveled, and the air was filled with a pungent, acrid smell of burning.

"Still not working?"

Fang Yu, panting heavily, recovered his strength. The black patterns of the Cursed Seal swirled around his body, and the bracelet on his wrist was also emitting light.

Freddy's abilities were far more troublesome than Fang Yu had imagined.

Although Freddy is currently helpless against Fang Yu, this extremely risky and daring maneuver will inevitably run into problems sooner or later due to oversights in some aspects.

Fang Yu rolled his eyes; with his Gene Lock activated, his mind was exceptionally sharp as he devised multiple solutions to the problem.

"We have no choice but to tough it out."

Having reached a conclusion, Fang Yu took a deep breath and, just as Freddy reappeared, blasted him in the face!

Freddy was enraged by Fang Yu's continuous attacks and toying with him. It swung its Metal Claws even more wildly, each swing accompanied by a whooshing sound, actually tearing the surrounding air apart!

With the aid of his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Fang Yu moved like a ghost through Freddy's claws, narrowly avoiding Freddy's fatal blow.

While dodging, Fang Yu began to run out of the factory!

Taking advantage of Fang Yu turning his head, Freddy raised his hand and swung his claw!

The feel I expected didn't come.

Another textbook example of the Clone Technique.

"Aaaaaah!"

Freddy was so angry that he screamed wildly, and his arms and legs suddenly stretched out very long!

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a three-meter-tall giant!

It took a sudden step!

This one kick is the distance that an average person would need to run five steps to cover!

It's getting closer!

It's getting closer!

Freddy's claws gleamed coldly; in its eyes, they were about to pierce through the damned human before it.

In that instant, Fang Yu suddenly turned around, the Three Tomoe spinning rapidly in his eye sockets!

The three Tomoe at the end were as sharp as knives! They pierced straight into Freddy's soul!

Freddy's expression suddenly froze, and its movements stopped for a moment, as if it had been frozen in place.

Taking advantage of this precious opening, Fang Yu did not hesitate at all and immediately took off running. The distance of several hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye.

He raised his hand to look at his watch. The passage of time seemed exceptionally clear at that moment. There was only a little over a minute left before the pursuit ended at dawn.

However, Freddy was not controlled by the Genjutsu for long, and he soon broke free of his Binding Vow!

Freddy's claws grew longer and his body grew taller, reaching a height of five meters!

Its every step caused the ground to tremble!

Freddy raised his hand and swung his claw down. Fang Yu felt an unprecedented crisis. He thought he was going to die for sure. With nowhere to hide, he quickly Hand Seal and used Water Release: Water Wall and Tekkai at the same time!

"Smack!"

The imagined pain did not occur.

Fang Yu opened his eyes and saw Nova raising her hand, as well as Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha looking anxious!

Looking around, I was shocked to find him lying in the middle of the road!

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat. "I fell asleep!?"

Zheng Zha looked terrified. "We've been calling you for ages and you still haven't woken up! It's finally dawn!"

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the two of them and said, "Why are you both so lifeless? Aren't we just going to live another day?" He paused for a moment and continued, "Zhang Jie Zhao Yingkong back to the Police Station?"

With sweat dripping from her forehead, Zhan Lan nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Oh, oh... Ah~" Fang Yu said, yawning, "I feel like I slept so well, I'm not sleepy anymore!"

Everyone was completely speechless.

Normally, a wise person, after scheming all night and finding that it had little effect and that they almost died, would have already mentally collapsed.

He, on the other hand, acted like nothing had happened.

Half an hour later, at the Central Continent Team's assembly point.

There are four fewer people in front of the gate today!

Zheng Zha was extremely anxious. "Could it be that Old Liu and Old Zhang were delayed by something?"

"What could be more important than living? Dying is worse than dying." Fang Yu looked at Zhan Lan with a nonchalant expression. "Go buy coffee for the captain."

Zhan Lan was preoccupied and absent-minded, and didn't hear Fang Yu speak at all.

"Zhan Lan, go buy some coffee." Fang Yu raised his voice.

Zhan Lan turned around. "How can you not be scared at all? We could enter a dream at any moment, but thankfully we have our companions to help us during the day. What will we do at night? Last night was too extreme."

She said with lingering fear, "Even in that perilous situation, Freddy still had the chance to kill four people. If we hadn't been careful, we definitely wouldn't have escaped."

"Pshaw, what's there to be afraid of? The worst that can happen is death!"

Seeing Fang Yu's relaxed shrug, Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha were speechless.

"You guys take living too seriously. If you can live, you live; if you can't, you die. Doesn't that mean time will pass by while you're busy and anxious? Does that mean you won't fall asleep while you're staring with wide, fearful eyes?"

"They're all the same."

Zhan Lan was stunned. "You, how do you have such a strong ability to withstand pressure?"

Fang Yu didn't bother to reply.

If "they" didn't have the ability to withstand pressure, the name Fang Yu would have disappeared long ago.

Deep inside an old prison, a narrow corridor is illuminated as brightly as day by blazing incandescent lights, and the air is thick with sweat and despair.

The floor here is made of old metal plates. Although the Third Underground Level of Impel Down is called the Starvation Hell, because it is located above the Blazing Hell, all the heat is trapped on the floor of the Starvation Hell. The heat is transferred through the metal plates to the corridor, turning the entire space into a giant oven.

Pirate World Fang Yu huddled in a corner of the corridor, trying to avoid the metal plates that resembled a teppanyaki grill. His Prison Uniform was soaked with sweat, which dripped down his forehead, gathered in the cracks of the floor, and evaporated instantly into wisps of water vapor.

The air was thick with humidity and heat; every breath felt like inhaling a cloud of hot, humid air, making it hard to breathe.

His skin turned bright red from the high temperature, and blisters even started to form in some places.

Even so, he couldn't use Water Release to cool himself down or quench his thirst.

Because once that's done, this place will soon become a high-temperature steam room, which will be even more unbearable than it is now.

"Gurgle"

Fang Yu's stomach growled because he hadn't eaten for a long time, and hunger and dehydration caused him to have stomach cramps.

But he could not eat, because there was no food, only endless heat and despair.

"Go search that area!"

The sound of the jailers' footsteps echoed in his ears; Fang Yu no longer had the strength to struggle.

He searched for an exit in this Starvation Hell like a headless fly, but his strength was exhausted and he had no clue what to do. Now he didn't want to move anymore; he just wanted to rest.

"Found it!"

"Here it is!"
