124. [Blackwater City]
[The Omniscient Eye: A garbage sewage pipe. The garbage from two hundred years ago fermented inside and turned into disgusting mud. Even the stupidest prairie dog would not walk in.]
[But unfortunately, this is probably the only normal entrance you can find]
On the dim seabed, a steel pipe buried by rocks appeared in front of Jiang Lang.
"Found it!"
Jiang Lang breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to swim back without checking the condition of the sewage pipe.
A few minutes later, he saw William and Xiao Yi who had returned to the starting point.
"Great Captain, I found the main gate of the prison and two side doors, but unfortunately, these three doors are locked from the inside. I can't open any of them with my current strength alone."
William said hoarsely.
"Captain, I found two cracks, but both cracks were blocked by stones. If you want to get in through the cracks, you must push the blocked stones away."
As Xiao Yi spoke, he waved his tentacles to show how big the two slits were.
Jiang Lang nodded and said:
"I have found a safe passage. Come with me."
Time was urgent, Jiang Lang didn't say any more nonsense, and swam towards the sewage pipe with the two monsters.
When they came to the mouth of the pipe, one person and two monsters slowed down.
"Is this the sewage outlet of [Blackwater City]?"
William recognized the function of the pipe mouth at a glance.
"Well, William, you walk in front, I walk in the middle, and Xiaoyi, you follow me."
The diameter of the sewage pipe is not large and can only accommodate one normal human being passing through it at a time. Jiang Lang immediately made arrangements after thinking briefly.
Among the three of them, he is the only one with the lowest HP and is an ordinary person.
As for William and Xiao Yi, one is a [Decadent Skeleton LV2], and the other is a creature whose life level is not weaker than the Extraordinary Sequence LV2.
The HP of both monsters was much higher than his.
In this seabed where accidents may occur at any time, Jiang Lang must prioritize his own life.
"As you command, my great captain!"
Neither monster raised any objections.
We lined up and quickly swam into the pipe.
As soon as he entered the pipe, the originally dark world instantly turned dark, without any light at all.
The only light Jiang Lang could see was the will-o'-the-wisp dancing in William's eyes.
Continuing deeper, residues from the fermentation and oxidation of garbage begin to appear on the inner wall of the pipe.
Along with the garbage residue, there are also traces of damaged pipes.
"Captain, there seemed to be other creatures walking through this sewage pipe before us."
William's moldy bone hand stroked the slash marks on the inner wall of the pipe and made a sophisticated judgment.
In Jiang Lang's eyes, the omniscient eye also gave feedback at the same moment.
[A man with a cannon in his hand will fire the cannon while walking, helping you clean up the garbage along the way in advance]
[If we meet, you should really thank him]
[Trace existence time: two days, three hours and twenty-six minutes]
Jiang Lang narrowed his eyes slightly.
According to the information given by the Omniscient Eye, when he first arrived in this sea area yesterday, someone had already dived here and entered the Blackwater City through the sewage pipe.
Who is that person?
Are they survivors or natives of the sea world?
Why did he/she choose to dive at this time by such a coincidence?
For a moment, Jiang Lang's mind was filled with doubts.
"William, Xiaoyi, be more vigilant. Don't worry about these traces. Let's keep walking!"
Jiang Lang calmed down and gave the order.
The next three people speeded up a lot.
Thanks to the previous person who had cleaned up the dirt in the pipe in advance, the three of them encountered no obstacles along the way. After more than ten minutes, they finally reached the end of the pipe.
Coming out of the sewage pipe, a light curtain swept over the three of them.
The light curtain swept across, and the seawater in the sewage pipe did not flow in. It was blocked by some unknown force at the sewage outlet.
"This is?"
Jiang Lang was surprised when he saw this scene.
This light curtain is like a special selective permeable membrane that allows other objects to pass through, but only blocks sea water.
"This should be some kind of special alchemy formation."
William's hoarse voice came from the side.
"It is rumored that when the Black Water City was first established, the five major churches had everything figured out. They found a group of the most outstanding alchemists in the world and set up a powerful alchemy circle here."
"These arrays ensure that this prison can operate normally even if it is located in the deep sea thousands of meters below."
William's voice also revealed shock.
Although he had heard a lot about the [Black Water Capital] before, he had never actually entered this prison.
This is a super prison that can hold tens of thousands of people!
To carve an alchemy circle into every corner of this prison would consume so much manpower, material and financial resources that it is simply unimaginable!
"Let's go, be careful, there may be other creatures in this prison now"
Jiang Lang suppressed the shock in his heart and walked forward while observing the surrounding environment.
This is a simple room with separate cubicles on both sides of the wall. After walking a few steps, a sink appeared in front of Jiang Lang.
Wash basin, cubicle.
This seems to be a public toilet.
If it's a toilet, then the pipe they just climbed...
"Ma Dan!"
Jiang Lang's face turned dark and he quickly opened the bathroom door.
When we came outside, we were faced with a long corridor that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"Captain, where are we going now?"
The two monsters followed closely behind and caught up to ask.
Jiang Lang touched his chin and fell into thought.
He had two things to do when he came to [Blackwater City].
The first was to find [008] cell and complete the task [Undelivered Message].
The second was to find the last material for the next upgrade of the Night [Heart of the Dead].
[Heart of the Dead] is a material that has a probability of being formed after the death of a high-sequence strongman.
So if he wants to find [Heart of the Dead], he needs to find the cell where the powerful criminals were imprisoned three hundred years ago.
Therefore, the direction is completely clear.
"Let's go to the cell of [Blackwater City]"
"Where is the cell?"
Xiao Yi asked stupidly.
Jiang Lang was directly asked.
"[Blackwater City] is a huge criminal city. There must be departments that store criminal information and cell information. As long as we find the location of these departments, we can know the information of the cells and criminals."
William gave a seemingly clear answer.
"Where is the Information Department?"
Jiang Lang:......
William:......
"Let's look for it while walking."
Jiang Lang pulled the corner of his mouth and said with some toothache.
At this moment, he realized that he knew too little about the city of [Black Water City].
But now the matter is done, he has no time to search for more information.
He can only take one step at a time.
Leaving the corridor, Jiang Lang and the other two walked to a square.
At the top of this prison, there is a huge transparent curved screen, and at this moment, there are stars and bright moons flashing on the screen!
But this is a thousand meters below the sea!
How can you see the celestial bodies in the sky in such a place.
And Jiang Lang remembered correctly that the random event of [Endless Rainstorm] has not passed yet, and it is impossible to see the moon even on the sea.
So where does the moon in the sky come from?
"This should also be some kind of special alchemy array that can simulate the changes of celestial stars. I didn't expect that it has been more than two hundred years, and it can still operate normally without anyone repairing it."
William once again played the role of a guide.
Jiang Lang retracted his gaze and continued to explore.
It was quiet all around, but as he walked, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance.
Boom! ——
