Chapter 254 Plain Clothes?
"What is this? A secret escape route from a movie?"
March 7th curiously peered into the secret passage, having accidentally triggered a mechanism that had discovered it.
"Don't go in yet, we don't know what's inside..."
"It must be an escape route! Let's go this way!"
March 7th's eyes were brimming with excitement.
"Everyone, I suggest we take the main road."
Danheng did not support March 7's idea of taking a shortcut. Rather than taking an unknown path, he preferred to return the way he came—it might not have a strong pioneering spirit, but it was definitely safer.
"Hey, Danheng, don't be so conservative. If he were here, he would definitely be going in with us—we're the pioneers, after all! What do you guys think?"
March 7th looked at the remaining four people with hopeful eyes, trying to win their support.

"Huh, they found that place?"
Setting down his glass, Otto's expression turned serious for the first time.
Ever since that train car crashed into headquarters, Otto's entire focus shifted to eliminating external enemies (he finally had a legitimate reason to delegate all the work to Amber, so he had to make the most of it, right?).
To be honest, Otto, who had been monitoring the group's progress, didn't feel much of a crisis. They were just a few young people who had recklessly entered headquarters to rescue people, weren't they? As the battle reports rained down, Otto didn't share the others' anger; instead, he found it "interesting": these people were quite capable, but what was even more commendable was that even with a significant numerical disadvantage, they hadn't resorted to killing. So far, no Valkyries had been killed by them—more merciful than even the most innocent and kind-hearted Valkyries he had trained—for him, mercy to the enemy was cruelty to oneself! Anyone who would do that must be one of those naive fools from Anti-Entropy, right?
Although it was quite amusing, letting them cause such destruction would definitely require Amber to file for a large repair bill, which could very likely affect the development budget for the sequel to "Kallen Fantasy"... In any case, in order to maintain peace at Schicksal headquarters and minimize losses, Otto quickly dispatched Valkyrie Rita to intercept them. Unexpectedly, he witnessed Rita being beaten down by a group of five people on the surveillance camera.
By this point, Otto's curiosity had been replaced by a greater sense of doubt: When did Anti-Entropy acquire such talent and technology?
Despite our thoughts, the fact remains that the situation is far from optimistic. We should hurry up and send Durandal to the prison to intercept them, but persuasion should be our primary strategy – with Durandal around, we can't possibly lose. However, the damage caused by force and the subsequent repairs will cost an astronomical sum of money. It won't be as simple as just cutting the game's budget; it could completely halt the sequel to "Kallen Fantasy"!
As it turned out, Otto's judgment was correct. Durandal blocking the door was indeed the most cost-effective solution, and Destiny did save a lot of money on prison containment pod maintenance. However, the passage next to the laboratory below the prison was discovered by a few people who were "invisible" under surveillance.
If he hadn't known this was a blind spot for surveillance and had specifically installed a thermal imaging camera on the outside of the passage, he probably wouldn't even know it was a ghost!
The laboratory behind the secret passage hides more than a dozen of his Soul Steel bodies, each one a life he had lost, but now these intruders have stumbled upon them by accident... If it were just the Soul Steel bodies, Otto wouldn't be so worried, but beyond the Soul Steel bodies, there are also his old friends from China.
Through the thermal imaging camera, Otto saw the approximate sizes of the group for the first time, then he saw a young girl eagerly squeeze into the passageway. Seeing this, the others followed suit…
"This time we really miscalculated."
Otto shook his head helplessly and answered Durandal's call.

"This place is huge! And those people... why do I feel a little creeped out?"
Looking at the rows of "Otto" figures, March 7th got goosebumps.
"Shh, keep your voice down."
Tesla made a rare shushing gesture, cautiously observing his surroundings.
"If I'm not mistaken, these are all his spare bodies! That old bastard Otto is a cunning fellow; people say a cunning rabbit has three burrows, who knows how many spare bodies he has! Be careful, these things might even have self-defense mechanisms or something..."
"Hey! Isn't that just like The Walking Dead from the movies?!"
"He has a Soul Steel Body."
Coralie corrected March 7's misjudgment.
"That's the mechanical killer?"
Regardless, March 7, startled by Tesla, immediately drew his bow and arrow.
"March, look ahead."
Upon seeing so many "Rakshasa", Danheng's first reaction was surprise, followed by silence. He would only nod politely when others called him.
After a long silence, he finally spoke.
"What are you looking at?"
While March 7th was still wondering, he saw a large cylindrical glass jar emitting a green fluorescent light, filled with a yellowish-green liquid, in which something was soaking...
"Miss Su, Miss Su Chang! Dan Heng still has Sundays, you are not allowed to watch!"
----------------
"Miss Su Chang!"
How long has it been since she heard that sound? Li Sushang didn't know; she had forgotten.
"She must be Miss Su Chang! Dan Heng, whether she is or not, we have to release her!"
"March, didn't you forbid us from watching?"
However, she could not forget the Rakshasa she first met in prison.
After all, the chivalrous heroine Su Chang ended up in the dungeon due to poor planning on her first attempt at chivalry. There, she happened to encounter a blond Rakshasa man carrying a coffin whose appearance was completely out of place in the dark dungeon. It would be hard to forget him, right?
Moreover, during the years she studied swordsmanship in the desert, apart from the Rakshasa people who wanted to see the immortal (who was also her great-master), she didn't make any other friends.
That Rakshasa man had an unrealistic wish and acted somewhat strangely. However, he was definitely a good person; he saved her life several times and even told Li Sushang stories about his hometown. (Li Sushang's specially provided translation)
"To the west of Shenzhou lies a continent called Europe. While the martial arts world of Shenzhou has various sects and factions, Europe currently has only one, called the Destiny Sect... The Destiny Sect oversees the entire continent of Europe. Its affairs are complex and cannot be fully managed by a single person. Therefore, the power of the Destiny Sect has been held by three major families... three major sects, for over a thousand years."
Wow, a thousand years!
"Miss Sushang, can you hear me? Little Coralie, do you know how to open this thing?"
I think—
"Get out of the way, let me handle this!"
However, happy days are always short-lived. Just a few days after she met that Rakshasa, the two of them were beaten half to death by her mad uncle. However, the head of the "Supreme Freedom Sect" and her master did vent her anger. But just after she vented her anger, her master brought her a terrible piece of news: her parents were dead.
"Miss Su Chang, wake up!"
"Wake up!"
"Well……"
It sounds like someone is really calling her?
Oh, I remember now, they were Rakshasa people...
Li Sushang struggled to open her eyes, but how easy was it for her body, which had been stagnant for hundreds of years, to regain its vitality?
She couldn't even open her eyes; she could only make "uh" sounds.
Why would Otto install a life support device here?
Tesla looked at the incoherent Li Sushang and couldn't quite understand: being placed with the Soul Steel body meant that Otto didn't want others to know about her existence, but why? Why was this girl in the life support device only worth a life support device to Otto, and why did she have to be hidden?
"Find her some clothes; her physical functions will probably need more time to recover."
As for taking her with him, Tesla felt it was highly unlikely. It was already difficult for six people to return unscathed, let alone adding another one. Wouldn't that be hellish?
"Doctor, let's take Su Chang with us—let's go together."
"I agree!"
Apart from her and Sunday, the other four agreed to take away the girl whom March 7th called "Sushang".

I've discovered that there are bad people among the book lovers.
The chapter debt was clearly an interest-free loan, so how did you guys become so arrogant and outrageous about it?
Our definition of usury is nine out of ten and thirteen back, but some readers seem to be asking me to go through the nine-out-of-ten and return-thirty-something cycle...
