Chapter 649 The rescue begins
When Xiao Gong saw Paimon's performance, she looked at the three people in confusion, her eyes full of curiosity, and asked, "Huh? What's the matter, companions, do you also know Master Zhengsheng?" She tilted her head, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
After hearing what Xiao Gong said, Kong nodded and said, "We heard it from Miss Kamisato." Then he explained in detail what the three were planning to do, "We are preparing to rescue him now. We learned from Miss Kamisato that Master Masakatsu means a lot to us. The fake Eye of God he made has helped many people. We can't just watch him suffer in prison." Kong's eyes revealed a firm determination, as if no difficulties could stop them from rescuing Master Masakatsu.
Xiao Gong couldn't help getting excited after hearing what Kong said, her eyes sparkling with excitement, like the brightest stars in the night sky. She clenched her fists, raised them high, and said loudly, "Really? It turned out that it was arranged by "Princess Egret"! That's great, actually I've been planning to break into the prison these days... But I also think that if I suddenly rush in like this, will it cause trouble for Miss Kamisato and the others, haha..."
At this point, Xiao Gong couldn't help but laugh, with a hint of self-mockery in his laughter, as if he was amused by his previous concerns. Then he looked at the three people and asked expectantly, "So, can I join you?"
After hearing what Xiao Gong said, Paimon nodded without any hesitation and said happily: "Of course! No problem! Ayaka also said that we should go to the "Naganohara Fireworks Shop" to find help. It seems that Xiao Gong is it." Now for them, manpower is really too short. It would be great to have one more person to help. And according to what Kamisato Ayaka said, combined with Hanshiro's description of Xiao Gong, Paimon felt that Xiao Gong should be the capable helper they are looking for.
After hearing what Paimeng said, Xiao Gong couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, it seems that in addition to helping hide the holder of the Eye of God in the store, I finally have the opportunity to be of other use!" There was no dissatisfaction in her smile, but instead gave people a feeling of being very happy and eager.
Paimeng was also very confused about this. Prison robbing is obviously an extremely dangerous thing that may have serious consequences. Why is she so happy? Paimeng tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Xiao Gong, prison robbing is so dangerous, why are you so happy?"
Xiao Gong smiled and explained, "Paimon, think about it, Master Zhengsheng is a good man. He has done so much to protect everyone's Eye of God. Now that he is in trouble, it is very meaningful for us to save him! Besides, I have long wanted to contribute to the fight against the Eye Hunting Order. This is a rare opportunity, so of course I am happy!"
Paimon listened and nodded, not quite understanding. After Xiao Gong finished speaking, he patted his head, and then continued to say to the three people: "Oh, by the way, Master Masakatsu is imprisoned in the town magistrate's office. I have already surveyed the surrounding environment and found a very good sneaking location. A few days ago, I pretended to be a fireworks seller and wandered around there for a long time. I found a small road that few people walk on. Following that road, you can quietly approach the detention center and it is not easy to be discovered."
After listening to Paimon's words, Xiao Gong nodded with satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a confident smile. That smile seemed to penetrate the depressing atmosphere, with endless strength and determination. "Right? Hehe, we will set off when we are ready! We must... we must rescue Master Zhengsheng!"
After hearing what Xiao Gong said, Paimeng waved her hands vigorously, drawing arcs in the air, as if to inject endless courage into everyone. "Save them!" Her voice was clear and loud. Although it was a bit childish, it was full of unshakable faith, echoing in this slightly empty street.
Lin Feng looked at the scene in front of him, feeling mixed emotions and helplessness. He sighed softly and shook his head slightly, looking at this group of passionate but slightly reckless people, and his worries surged like a tide. Can Paimeng, a teammate who can fight three people alone, really succeed?
Despite their doubts, under the leadership of Xiao Gong, the three of them headed in the direction of the town. Along the way, the once bustling streets now looked like a dead ruin, presenting an unprecedented deserted scene. Once upon a time, this place was bustling with people coming and going. The streets were deserted, with only a few pedestrians left. They all lowered their heads, walked hurriedly, and looked panicked, as if they were shrouded in the shadow of fear, fearing that they would get into unpredictable trouble if they were not careful. Most of the shops on the street had their doors and windows closed, the door panels were covered with thick dust, and the window glass was broken, revealing a sense of decay.
Under the guidance of Xiao Gong, the three of them moved forward cautiously, taking every step extremely carefully, trying to avoid attracting the attention of others. Strangely, they were surprisingly smooth along the way and did not encounter any danger. This surprised Lin Feng. In his expectation, an important stronghold like the Machi Bugyo should be heavily guarded, with a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps, and patrolling warriors everywhere. But the scene in front of him was quite different from his imagination. The security level was too low. But think about it carefully. Under the supreme power of General Raiden, the entire Inazuma is shrouded in her rule. Most people are in awe of the Tenryo Bugyo. In this high-pressure atmosphere, it is indeed difficult for anyone to dare to rush to jailbreak.
When Paimon approached the detention center of the town magistrate, he couldn't help but shudder, and his body unconsciously huddled up, as if this could resist the gloomy chill that was coming towards him. "Finally I'm in, it's much more gloomy than I imagined..."
Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of fear. It was dark all around, and the torches on the wall flickered with a weak and swaying light, as if they would be swallowed by the darkness at any time, and could only barely illuminate a small area.
The eerie atmosphere surged like a tide, and the damp ground exuded a pungent stench of decay, mixed with the stale smell of mold, which was nauseating. The walls were covered with dark green moss, and in the dim firelight, the shapes of the moss were like twisted and hideous ghost faces, which made people shudder.
From time to time, deep groans and the sound of chains colliding could be heard in the detention center, echoing in the silent space, like wails from hell, making people shudder. Every corner here was filled with the breath of death and fear. For the timid Paimeng, it was undoubtedly a living purgatory of terror.
