December 4th, morning.

Accompanied by prison guards, Lieutenant Colonel Srikova and two of his subordinates walked out of the gate of the Nine Prisons.

This is the end of her escort mission.

At that time, she didn't know that an uninvited guest had already walked out of the prison with them and boarded the return shuttle...

The trip after this can be said to be very smooth.

After engaging with the other two shuttles outside the wall of the abyss, Lieutenant Colonel and the others drove southeast along the Pripyat River and quickly entered the Dnieper River basin. On this wider river surface, they turned on the shuttle's "water sprint" mode to advance at full speed. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the city of Vishgorod on the north bank of Kiev.

At the local supply point, they replenished fuel for the shuttle and replaced the amphibious and land module into a flight module. Then, they flew directly into the air and continued to sail south.

By twelve o'clock noon, the shuttle had arrived over Sevastopol (the harbor city located on the southwest bank of the Crimean Peninsula).

It must be complained that in the 23rd century of this parallel universe, a journey of nearly 800 kilometers (only the straight line distance is 780 kilometers, but when actually driving, it was even further away), the military could only use three small conventional means of transportation to complete it in about two hours; however, the situation of civilian traffic was still at the level of the early 21st century...

Due to various reasons (mainly population density, traffic pressure and geological problems), there are still many areas on the earth in this era that have not even built subways; those three-dimensional urban transportation networks depicted in science fiction movies or the three-dimensional urban transportation networks... are completely unsuccessful; such as suspended cars, step-by-step overpasses, capsule compartments, vacuum transmission pipelines, portals... not even the military has all these technologies, because some of them are really poor in practicality and are killed in the R&D stage.

Get back to the point...

In the afternoon, when Lilia walked off the shuttle, she was already in a military facility built underwater.

This place, called "Heart of the Black Sea", is one of the largest inland sea bases established by the Federal Army.

Zilin told Lilia from the beginning that sneaking into this base and stealing something was the main condition for Zilin to assist her in escape from prison; and with Lilia's personality, she naturally agreed without much consideration. Instead of slowly decaying in prison, she would rather bet on her life and take a try.

Furthermore, Lilia also thinks this is fair and normal... If you take out a person from a place like Nine Prisons and guide her to use her superpowers, you must have to ask for some conditions. It would be strange if you don't have the conditions.

"First of all, I have to thank you for not trying to escape before the flight arrived." Before Lilia could observe the situation around her, a message from Zilin had already appeared on the paper.

"Nonsense, as long as you talk to yourself in your heart, you will hear me. Can I escape?" Lilia was also very realistic and did not tell the other party that it was false. "Besides... during the escape, I found that you can use some method to guide the prison guards' actions, which means... Once you turn against me, you can sell me in minutes... I have no choice except to keep my promise."

"It's great that you can understand." Zilin didn't beat around the bush and replied directly, "Then please don't waste your time and continue to the next step."

After replying to this sentence, he sent several very precise instructions in succession, directing Lilia's infiltration into the "Heart of the Black Sea".

Lilia had no choice but to follow Zilin's instructions. After a long circle and after a series of chain events, she finally successfully arrived in a room with extremely high security level in this base.

"What exactly did you want me to steal? Is the launch key for nuclear weapons?" Recalling the various security guards I saw along the way, Lilia couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"It's almost the same." Unexpectedly, Zilin replied, "I really want you to find a 'key', which is indeed used to unlock some dangerous thing."

Just as his line of words appeared, Lilia had walked to the center of the room; here, there was a metal bracket, above which was a square glass cover, and there was something inside it, a pocket watch that had stopped moving.

"The 'key' you mentioned is this pocket watch?" Lilia looked at the watch for a few seconds and asked in her heart.

"Its name is 'The Moment of the Underworld'." Zilin replied, "Now, please read the following content carefully

"There is undoubtedly a reason why the room you are in is only deployed with a large amount of alert forces outside, but there is no one person or a surveillance probe inside.

"The 'Moment of the Underworld' is not a simple 'item', it is perceptual; it exerts some influence on the person who "watches it"...whether the person is watching it through the naked eye or the surveillance probe.

"However, you are an exception. As long as you put yourself in a state of 'no', you can be immune to this effect."

At this point, Lilia suddenly spoke in her heart and said, "Sir, tell the truth... the cause and effect of being imprisoned in Nine Prisons... Could it be that you designed it?"

Zilin was silent for a few seconds and replied, "Since you have seen through it, I will no longer hide it. That's right, that night, from the moment you were approached by someone, the whole thing was controlled by me behind the scenes. Everything that happened afterwards was also paved the way for pushing you into the Nine Prisons."

"So..." Lilia took the other person's words in her heart and thought, "I've been busy for a long time, and it turns out that it's just to regain the freedom I lost because of you."

"Providing 'bargaining chips' for the transaction between us is just one of the purposes of sending you to the Nine Prisons." Zilin continued, "The second is to make you familiar with the routes to enter and exit the Nine Prisons and some situations in the prison; and the third is..."

"You need to say nothing, I have guessed..." Lilia thought to herself, "All the factors that made me 'come here at this moment' are not a coincidence that the prisoner who was sent to prison this morning was escorted to her time, the establishment of the escort personnel, the destination after the shuttle return... All these 'wires' that wove the 'rope' of events are also under your control."

"You... are much smarter than I expected." Zilin's answer was equivalent to acquiescing the other party's statement.

"Hmph, it's too much." Lilia sneered and said, "It's just because I have witnessed your 'manipulator' and then 'manipulator' method in this half day, so I figured out a lot of things..."

She paused and said again: "For example, I just practiced my superpowers to a level that can steadily eliminate my own sense of existence. In less than three days, I had this jailbreak operation of "no chance to miss, no time to come". Now it seems... this is definitely what you have planned for the day.

"For example, the thing in front of me called the "Insight of the Underworld" can only be stolen. Can this be a coincidence? How did you find me? How did you know that there is a abilities like me in the Nine Prisons? How did you know that even I don't know about superpowers?

"A little thought can lead to an obvious conclusion. I was plotted against you from the beginning."

After seeing what Lilia said in her heart, Zilin chuckled and continued her previous sentence, thinking: "But why is a person as smart as you so impulsive when encountering an unexpected event? That night, if you could handle it in a more calm way, the process of framed you and going to jail may not be so smooth."

"Oh, I'm really sorry for disappointing you." Lilia replied coldly, "But don't worry, when we meet, I will definitely try to control my emotions."

She said that, but her true thought was obviously... as long as she met, she would dump Zilin a thousand yuan and use it to make a wall.

"Don't worry, I will let you see me, so you don't have to be so anxious." Zilin replied, "Let's talk about the situation in front of you..." He brought the topic back to the main thing, "Although there is no one in this room and no heads, this rack has a pressure sensing device..."

"Is it the kind that I will ring when I pick up something?" Lilia continued, "That's right. As soon as the alarm rings, I will take advantage of the chaos and go to the hangar to get a small device that can return to the sea, and I will successfully escape."

There is nothing wrong with her idea, because this is not a maze of Nine Prisons (although the military base is also large, there are signs and maps everywhere), and it is not like Nine Prisons that will activate a bunch of "internal" defense weapons with alarms, and automatically block almost all safe entrances and exits according to the alarm level... Therefore, it is not difficult to slip away from the heart of the Black Sea with the ability of "nothing".

only……

"What a pity." Zilin's reply immediately poured a basin of cold water on Lilia. "This pressure sensing device will not only trigger an alarm, but will also activate a set of special air pumps hidden in the walls. These pumps can drain the air in this room within twelve seconds, and then your blood vessels and eyeballs will..."

"...It will be revealed, OK, OK, I understand, tell me what your idea is." Lilia took over the part that Zilin had not read yet and asked.

"You take off your clothes first." Zilin replied.

"Ha?" When Lilia said "Ha", she instinctively looked around, "What are you doing? Can you see me?"

"I can see you...you just got out?" Zilin teased.

"It depends on the situation... If you have enough banknotes on your hand, I'll give you a knee dance." Lilia said in her yellow accent. After all, she is a pioneer of hardcore feminism. She has not been to the strip club, and she has also been to consume...

Zilin was a little overwhelmed: "okok, you can wait until we meet before we talk." He tried hard to get back the topic, "Let's talk about clothes... I asked you to take as many clothes as possible, in addition to preventing cold in the snow, another purpose is to use it here."

"I knew you kid didn't care about my cold and cold." Lilia responded while taking off her coat.

"Yes, I'm not that kind." Zi Linke didn't plan to continue arguing with her, so as not to fall into endless rhythm. "Now, please take off four clothes."

Since Lilia took all the casual clothes of the prison guard, when she came out, she had already put on several woolen sweaters, three pairs of pants, and two coats, one thin and one thick... This made her whole body wrap like a ball; let alone taking off four pieces, if she included the pants, she could take off all eight pieces.

"Okay." Lilia took off her two coats and two wool sweaters and reported in her heart.

"Yeah." Zilin pondered and said, "As a woman, you should have noticed that all the clothes of the prison guard, both inside and outside, are of the same brand."

"What do you mean? What do you mean, 'As a woman, I should have noticed it long ago? Can women not know what brand of clothes they are wearing?" Lilia was already quite popular, and Zilin's previous sentence even touched her reverse scale.

"Then have you noticed it?" Zilin asked.

"Tsk... it has nothing to do with gender. It was something I noticed as a person with a keen observation." Lilia replied.

"Okay~ Then... As a person with a very keen observation, you should have also discovered that each piece of clothing in this brand has an oval, slightly protruding logo; the surface of the logo is made of plastic, and metallic objects are mixed inside to increase weight and texture..." Zilin said halfway.

Lilia understood again: "The weight of the four logos is equal to the weight of the pocket watch in front of her?"

Zilin knew his understanding and said directly: "Please use the knife you just came from the soldiers and cut them off the clothes along the edges of the logo cards... Try to be more precise when doing it. Although the sensing device also allows errors, there will be too much residual fabric..."

"I understand, you wait first." Lilia responded impatiently and began to operate.

In less than ten minutes, she successfully took off four logos and held them in her hand.

"Don't forget to wipe off the fingerprints on the logo first, and... After the exchange is completed, you have to wear those four clothes back and not leave them on the scene." Before implementing the last step, Zilin did not forget to remind her of these details.

"I'm thinking..." Lilia said, "Is it wiser to 'ignor your instructions and turn your head and run away' than this kind of life-thinking operation?"

"You don't have to think about it, I can tell you clearly that the latter has a higher success rate." Zilin replied, "Anyway, we have already made the words clear now. I might as well say... If you give up your actions and turn around and escape, I will definitely let you go; because if you expose your whereabouts in such a place, you will probably be shot dead on the spot, and I... need you to live."

"Then, when I escape, you will design me again, go around in circles, coerce and induce... and get me back here and do this again... right?" Lilia asked.

"Yes." Zilin was not vague and admitted immediately.

The next second, Lilia cursed "Fake" in her heart, then she obediently opened the glass cover in front of her, grabbed the four logos cut from her clothes with her right hand, and gently clamped the pocket watch with her left hand with two fingers.
Chapter completed!
