I'm not a drama god

The aura of the Diviner suddenly dissipated.

Lord Wei seemed to be struck by some kind of backlash, and collapsed to the ground!

His face was as pale as paper, and blood was still seeping from the corner of his mouth, as if he had suffered a great backlash... He didn't even have the strength to call for help, and could only lie stiffly on the floor, as if all the strength in his body had been drained.

He took a deep breath, his hand trembling as he reached into his robes and pulled out the mysterious black box…

The lid of the black box was opened, revealing a button inside.

The existence of this black box is very subtle, as if someone had anticipated that he would be in such a weak state, and even unable to call for help immediately, so they specially prepared this emergency measure in advance.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lord Wei pressed his palm firmly on the button with all his might!

Buzz————

Next second,

The piercing air raid siren echoed throughout the Ruoshui Prison.

……

"Air raid siren?"

"I know! The air raid siren will only be sounded when the highest level of danger, the red alert, is activated!"

"...Isn't this common sense?"

"I remember there were red alert drills last year and the year before... What's going on today? Did you receive any notification about the drill?"

"It seems not...or did we just miss it?"

"It should be a drill, right? Why did the alarm suddenly go off out of nowhere?"

"Never mind, whether it's a drill or not, let's hurry to the underground shelter... If nothing else happens, it should be over in an hour or two."

"Okay, let's go. There's a shelter downstairs, no need to run."

"..."

The moment the air raid siren sounded, all the residents of Ruoshui Prison looked up at the sky...

After a brief moment of confusion, they rushed to the nearest shelter. Perhaps because they had practiced many times, they were not too panicked.

Lord Wei's periodic predictions bought the entire prison precious preparation time. At this time, there had been no large-scale convergence of the gray realm, nor any calamities; the sun shone brightly, and life was peaceful.

There was no rioting, no panic, no stampede; the people seemed to be simply participating in a routine drill, evacuating in an orderly manner.

Only after they entered the underground shelter did the pre-recorded warning sound begin to play from inside:

"After arriving at the nearest shelter, please follow the instructions of the staff and proceed to the boundary train station via the underground passage. Evacuation will be carried out in batches..."

"This evacuation is not a drill!"

"Repeat, this evacuation is not a drill!"

"Please proceed to the nearest shelter..."

Upon hearing the voice and seeing the densely packed figures from Chengtianfu directing the crowd into the underground passage, the people belatedly realized that something serious had truly happened, and a cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Buzz————

The sharp wail of the air raid siren still echoed over Ruoshui Prison.

About ten minutes after the evacuation began, suffocating gray patches, like a virus that had entered the city out of thin air, spread wildly through the streets!

A massive calamity erupted from the intersection of the gray realms, roaring and trampling everything around it into ruins. The earth trembled, and the once peaceful Ruoshui Prison was instantly transformed into a chaotic hell on earth!

Even though the vast majority of people had entered the shelters within ten minutes and evacuated from the surface to the underground passages, a small number of people were still slowly walking on the streets. They were running frantically in the direction away from the disaster, and from time to time they looked back at the unstoppable monstrous beasts of disaster behind them, regretting that they had not run a few more steps earlier.

On these chaotic and turbulent streets, two figures went against the flow of terrified people, heading instead towards the direction where the disaster was most concentrated!

“9 hearts…” Lin Xi said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Li Shangfeng nodded slightly. "I saw it."

They both simultaneously pulled a playing card from their pockets. As the card was flipped over, a line of small characters silently appeared on the intricately patterned back:

[Strike hard at the internal watchtowers and liberate Ruoshui Base].

Li Shangfeng's gaze swept across the calamity-stricken streets before him, and beyond those streets lay the towering inner walls and watchtowers of the deepest part of the prison, specifically used to imprison the former Ruoshui base. A crazed smile crept onto his lips...

"finally……"

"It's time to go all out!"

……

The Realm of Heavenly Embrace.

The Imperial Palace.

Eunuch Zuo walked with unusually hurried steps, passing through layers of doors, and finally stopped in front of a screen.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Zuo wiped the sweat from his brow, "The item you ordered to be sent to Marquis Wei has been opened... Ruoshui Prison is now on red alert, and all emergency evacuation plans have been activated!"

"The boundary trains transferred from various prisons to Ruoshui are already operating at full capacity, transporting people to nearby prisons day and night... Other prisons are also ready to receive people, and various supplies such as food, medicine, and cold-weather clothing have been arranged."

"Fortunately, we had already diverted half of the Ruoshui residents to other prisons, and the remaining population can be transferred within 24 hours at most."

"In addition, Duke Zhao and Duke Han also arrived at Ruoshui to personally clear the way for the train."

Behind the screen,

A figure sat quietly by the window, watching the swirling snow outside, and took a sip of hot tea.

After a moment's hesitation, Eunuch Zuo added:

"Your Majesty...should we also send those newly promoted dukes to Ruoshui to provide support?"

"No need," the voice behind the screen said calmly. "Have you conveyed the message I asked you to give to the two dukes?"

"Your Majesty, I have conveyed your message."

"Ah."

The figure nodded slightly, gently placing the cup in his hand on the table beside him. A gentle breeze carried snowflakes into the room, lifting a corner of the emperor's robes...

"...Step down."

Upon hearing those three calm words, for some reason, Eunuch Zuo felt much more at ease.

When the news of Ruoshui Prison was first received, even Eunuch Zuo broke out in a slight sweat with tension… Since the Great Cataclysm, humanity had been under the protection of the eight great prisons of a great realm for hundreds of years without change. But now, Ruoshui Jun's lifespan was coming to an end, which meant that one prison was about to perish.

That's an entire Ruoshui Prison... millions of people, how can you just move them away so easily? It's an extremely massive and insane project, and if anything goes wrong, the words "death and annihilation" are not even enough to describe the consequences.

But Ying Fu seemed to possess a kind of magic. He could simply sit there quietly and say a few words, which could erase the restlessness and unease in people's hearts... as if as long as he was there, the sky would not fall down.

The back of Eunuch Zuo, standing behind the screen, revealed a sincere expression of admiration as he bowed respectfully.

"Your humble servant takes his leave."
