Chapter Fourteen: Seal

  Afterwards, at least half of the submachine guns were aimed at Suns position. In the chaos, he changed into another set of clothes without wearing his prisoner uniform, which in itself was suspicious of escaping. Now if Sun made any unusual move, there would be hundreds of bullets fired from above immediately.

  "Im not wearing black clothes! Im naked!" Sun Baozi shouted loudly, raising his hands. By this time, the prison guard had already run over to check Sun Baozis tattoo and confirmed that there was nothing suspicious about it. He then used the intercom to explain the situation to his colleagues upstairs: "This fatty is fine, what he has on him is a tattoo, not black clothes." After saying that, the guard told Sun Baozi to quickly put back on his prison uniform.

  After a few more minutes, another large group of prison guards came out. They gathered the prisoners from each cell together and began to check the number of prisoners. In the end, one Xiao He Shang was missing from the prisoners, and one Yun Fei Yang was missing from the prison guards.

  Just as the prison guards were about to lock up Sun Baozi and others for a surprise interrogation, the warden personally led Xiao He and Shang Yunfei, who was covered in dust, to appear before everyone. The warden took the loudspeaker handed over by the prison guard and said to all the prison guards and prisoners at the scene: "The alarm has been lifted, and the explosion that just occurred was due to the aging of the underground coal gas pipeline. It has nothing to do with earthquakes or riots. Now all prisoners return to their cells, and labor reform is temporarily suspended until the gas pipeline is repaired."

  After finishing, the warden nodded to the prison guard to send the prisoners back to their respective cells. Sun Dawei and a few others also followed back to cell 36. After the guards left, Sun Dawei and his men immediately surrounded Xiao Heshang. Deputy Director Sun said: "Didnt you go to repair the seal? How did such a big commotion happen? Whats going on? Im not saying, is the seal really fixed?"

  Xiao He Shang stared at Sun Bao Zis mouth with wide eyes, and when his mouth finally stopped moving, Old Xiao shouted loudly: "Huh? What did you say? Little fatty, why are you making a baa sound without speaking? If you have something to say, just say it. Who can hear such a faint noise?"

  Its done, that old man was just deafened. Although I dont know what happened, looking at Xiao He and Shangs current appearance, it must be a big deal. Sun Baozi took out his phone from under his belly, switched to the handwriting note interface, wrote a few words on it, and handed it in front of Xiao He and Shang.

  "Oh, whats going on just now? Cant you speak up? What are you doing messing around?" Xiao He continued to mutter and complain. Sun Baozi helplessly wrote a few words on his phone, and after Xiao He read them, he repeated: "Speak softly..."

  Strictly speaking, Xiao He Shang was not deaf. Instead, he had been affected by a certain formation, and his auditory nerve would experience some disorder for a short period of time. However, as time passed, his auditory nerve could slowly recover.

  After the full-body personnel meeting in the morning, Xiao He and Shang went to repair the seal under the prison together with Yun Feiyang. At first, it was still relatively smooth. The warden had already transferred all the guards in the underground cell out, and then Xiao He used a secret technique to open the hidden door leading to the underground.

  Xiao He Shang and Yun Fei Yang walked down the secret passage together. At first, they didnt feel anything unusual, but every time they walked a certain distance, they would be blocked by a dead end. It wasnt until Xiao He Shang used the secret technique of the Min Diao Bureau that another path would appear. After walking like this for a while, Xiao He Shang suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring at the blurry talisman on the wall. Yun Fei Yang didnt know what was wrong and accompanied Xiao to wait for a moment.

  Yun Feiyang accompanied Xiao He Shang to take a look at the symbols on the wall. Although these symbols were unfamiliar, they looked similar to most of the symbols in the Min Diao Bureau. Although he couldnt name them, he could tell that they were used for warding off evil spirits and guarding. He really didnt understand what was so special about them that Xiao He Shang could stare at them for such a long time without blinking.

  More than half an hour passed, and Xiao He Shang still showed no intention of leaving. Finally, Yun Fei Yang couldnt wait any longer, so he took the initiative to say to Xiao He Shang: "Xiao Gu Xun, if its almost done, lets continue on our way. Dont delay the repair and sealing."

  Xiao He Shang slowly came to after Yun Fei Yangs words. He glanced at Yun Fei Yang and said, "Recently, someone has come down here." Pausing for a moment, Xiao He Shang pointed to the talisman on the wall and continued, "This is a yin-yang symbol, which appears to be used for warding off evil spirits, but it actually contains another peace symbol. In previous years, when the people from the Ministry of Folk Customs came down to repair and seal the imprint, they would all erase their own marks before leaving. However, in recent times, at least four people have come down here, with the first three being blocked by the array below, but the last person managed to reach the very bottom."

  Here is the translation:

  "Up to this point, Xiao Heishang turned his head to look at Yun Feiyang, took a long breath before continuing: "Originally I thought it was the previous person who sealed and repaired the seal not doing a good job, which caused the seal to age prematurely. But now it seems that someone intentionally went to damage the seal. Hopefully the damage to the seal is not too severe, I still have the ability to repair it."

  Xiao He Shang finished speaking, Yun Fei Yangs face also changed color. Originally thought that following Xiao Gu to ask for repairs would be enough, now it seems that things are much more complicated than he imagined.

  Xiao He Shang let Yun Fei Yang take out his phone to take pictures of the symbols on the wall, and after they got back, he also asked Gao Pang Zi to take a look. After taking over ten photos from different angles, Xiao Gu Zhen continued to lead Yun Fei Yang downwards. With the warning of the talisman, as they walked further down, both of them became more cautious. Yun Fei Yang had already taken out his gun and was gripping it in his hand, while Xiao He Shang hadnt drawn his gun, but he had exposed the handle and adjusted it to a position where he could easily draw it with a stretch of his arm.

  Continuing down for a while, nothing unusual was found again. The two of them quickly reached the end, and at the very bottom was a concrete floor. In the center of the floor was a hexagonal protrusion, along which were painted a series of talismans, six talismans that converged to form a new talisman.

  On the outer surface of the six-pronged protrusions and talismans, dense arrays of various talismans and formations were drawn. The density of these talismanic formations was no less than the "tattoos" on Sun Wukongs body now. And yet, he only recognized a small half of them, but this small half already made him break out in cold sweat. Most of these formations were directly lethal, and some were designed to disrupt the five senses in conjunction with the deadly formations.

  After seeing the formation of the outer circle, Xiao He Shang was already prepared. He squatted on the ground and took out a ruler from his body. He measured the talisman formation on the ground in front of him, and after finishing, he turned his head to Yun Fei Yang and said: "You step on my footprints and walk, remember, if youre not sure, ask me, dont blindly walk if youre not sure. If one person walks wrong, well both be finished. Although Im a bit older, I havent lived enough yet, so dont get into trouble and take me down with you."

  Yun Feiyangs heart sank even more, and he almost asked Xiao He Shang to discuss with him, guarding here, letting Xiao He Shang pass by himself. Fortunately, it was only a few steps from here, Yun Feiyang followed behind Xiao He Shang, staring at the back of Xiao Gus heels without blinking. After crossing three or four steps, they finally reached the central position below.

  Nearby, looking at the center of the six protrusions, Yun Feiyang couldnt see any problem. But Xiao He and Shang began to circle around the area where the six protrusions were located, he circled twice before suddenly walking to the side of the protrusion, lifting his foot and stomping heavily on it. As soon as his foot landed, a loud "boom" sound was heard. The location of the protrusion suddenly cracked one by one, and then, the curse symbols extending from here also became blurred, almost every one of the six curse symbols had different degrees of rupture.

  Upon seeing this foot stomp down and cause such a huge change, Xiao Hes face instantly turned deathly pale. He stared at the six-pronged protrusion that was full of cracks, muttering to himself: "Destroying the seal so thoroughly, what do you want to achieve? What benefit is it to you to harm everyone here?"

  His voice had just fallen when a sudden sound came from behind him: "I didnt think there would be such a thing down here either..."

  Without any warning, someone suddenly spoke up, startling both Xiao He and Yun Fei Yang. The two turned around at the same time, and as they did, Yun Fei Yangs gun was also trained on the location of the speaker.

  A figure of medium height emerged from the shadows in the corner of the wall. The "person" was wrapped all over with prison guard uniforms, wearing a prison guards hat on his head and a steel plate covering his face, making it impossible to see his features.

  He walked out unsteadily and smiled in the direction of Xiao He and Shang. The smile was like the hooting of an owl at midnight, making ones heart feel itchy. After the smile, he continued: "I originally thought this was a secret passage leading to the outside of the prison. Such dense talismans and arrays were meant to prevent me from escaping from here. Who would have thought that after I broke the seal with great difficulty, I found out that they were all Night Walker Ghosts sealed inside? Unfortunately, when I broke the seal, my hand was too heavy, and later I couldnt repair it even if I wanted to."

  Here is the translation:

  "Having said that, this person let out a long sigh and continued: "If I had known earlier that this was a place for Night Walkers, I would rather have stayed locked up than provoke them... Alas, it seems you also cant re-seal them away. Never mind, Ill just rely on myself then. As long as he comes, Ill be able to leave from here and let the Night Walker troubles be yours to deal with..."

  "You said you were locked up here?" Xiao Hes hand also touched the gun handle, his eyes staring at this person and saying: "How did I not know that on the night of sealing evil spirits, there was still someone like you being locked up?"

  "You dont know many things." The man let out a loud laugh, then continued to say: "The things I told you earlier are already enough, the rest of it you can slowly guess for yourselves." After finishing speaking, this person looked up at the ceiling and said: "Its really too quiet up there, with it being so quiet how am I supposed to escape? I might as well stir up some commotion for you all."
