Chapter 126 - 119: Narrative Cage (IX)
Li Cheng stood on the gravity-sensitive floor of the Main Character Effect Room, pondering deeply.
The prisoners of Narrative Cage, all were villains or heroes who had left their mark across the sea of stars, yet here, they were simply prisoners.
"No wonder that Isaac had carved words into the bed rail, no wonder the prisoner in the lower right corner cell turned into a vegetable, mutilating himself with each escape attempt, driving himself insane after several tries."
He reached out and lightly brushed the gray-white walls of the isolation room, the walls were made of an unknown material; they were firm and smooth, without any pits or indentations, almost as if through them he could hear the crying and roaring from within.
Just as the metal sliding door was about to open, the wooden door behind him was suddenly thrust open with a "snap", and Gray Rain stepped into the room, confronted by Li Cheng’s puzzled gaze, Gray Rain frankly said: "How about you work with me, and we escape together?"
"I’ve been in this prison for half a year, and during that period I attempted to escape ten times, the most successful one being the last time I pressed down four engine room buttons over the course of eight hours, just a little short from the last [Coherence Retrieving] room.
The probability of success is certainly higher for two people conspiring than one alone."
"..."
Li Cheng’s heart wavered slightly, but he still diplomatically asked: "Each engine room creates traps tailored to the escapee, are you sure that bringing two people won’t make it more difficult?"
