Chapter 005: Prison Break
Wang Bo, in prison, gazed at the night sky outside the small window and let out a deep sigh
Slowly, the sky darkened
Several prisoners in the cells were disturbed
O'Connor was thus saved
He could even obtain a portion of gold from Hamunaptra, sell it for a substantial amount of money, and then live a wonderful life in this world
By the time they reacted, Wang Bo had already vanished into the night.
Upon receiving the order, the soldier did not dare to delay, drew a long knife, and severed the rope
Wang Bo heard someone shouting loudly, and he did not dare to be negligent. He fixed his gaze in one direction and took off running. At that moment, Wang Bo exerted all his strength, his legs alternating rapidly, as swift as a gust of wind
He should leave here, travel to Hamunaptra with O'Connor and the others, and then at the critical moment, prevent Evelyn from reciting the incantation to resurrect Imhotep
The soldier looked bewildered, as it was the first time he had heard such a last wish. He turned to the warden on the platform and said, "He said he wants to be released and leave."
O'Connor was taken away by the soldiers. Shortly thereafter, a group of prison guards entered, opened the cell doors, and drove all the prisoners out into the corridor outside the prison, including Wang Bo.
In fact, many prisoners, at the moment they fall from the gallows, have their necks broken, resulting in instantaneous death
And to have all the prisoners come to the corridor is to allow them to witness the moment when a prisoner is hanged
Upon hearing the sound, they opened their eyes, crawled out from the haystack, and looked around. However, Wang Bo returned and lay back down on the haystack, pretending to doze off
When O'Connor stood in the center of the gallows, the soldier executing the hanging placed the noose around his neck and, as per custom, asked a question
The railings in the corridor are all sealed off with iron bars, and no one can escape from here
The exit of the prison is an iron door, which is locked
What sound is this, and where is it coming from
Wang Bo exerted a bit of force and pulled the iron gate open
As long as the Ten Plagues do not descend and Imhotep does not resurrect, Wang Bo will fear nothing.
As expected, before long, Wang Bo heard the warden shout: "Let him down"
However, the current situation is dire, and he is not in control of his own circumstances
Do you have any last words for the picture book now?
Others saw Wang Bo merely as a shadow flickering before their eyes, and then lost all trace of him
However, the sound that was emitted this time startled everyone in the prison, not only the inmates but also the guards were disturbed.
At least there is no need to worry about being at odds with the world
As for O'Connor himself, he has not returned to prison, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, this fellow should have already left here
I miss the bed at home, I miss the dinner at home, and I also miss the air at home, everything about home. However, unfortunately, he cannot go back.
To be honest, he misses home
Fortunately, O'Connor did not break his neck at the moment of falling.
Although this world does not yet have computers, Wang Bo believes that as long as he has money, he can still live very well
Wang Bo looked at this scene with a calm gaze, in stark contrast to the merciless and cruel eyes of the surrounding prisoners, for he was well aware that O'Connor did not die by hanging
What happened, what is going on
The iron gate of this era is quite rudimentary, far inferior to modern security doors
Only a very small number of people can escape this calamity, and O'Connor is clearly one of them
The prison warden shouted in exasperation: "How is it possible, execution!"
However, all of this must be predicated on the premise that Wang Bo can leave prison
After a while, this group of people found nothing and returned to sleep one after another
But they were quickly subdued by soldiers armed with long guns
Wang Bo rose to his feet and stealthily approached the prison door
However, all the prisoners can see the circular playground outside through the iron bars, as well as the gallows in the center of the playground, which is extremely conspicuous
According to the plot, a deal has now been made with Evelyn
Even if one inadvertently reveals great power, it is still possible to conceal the past through the power of wealth
Pray that the woman named Evelyn can save herself
On the circular playground, under the escort of two soldiers, O'Connor walked step by step towards the gallows. O'Connor walked very slowly; to be honest, he did not want to ascend the gallows at all
Only in this way can he survive
Only someone like Wang Bo, who is not human, can achieve this
It is evident that the warden placed the gallows here to intimidate all the inmates
The brutal hanging incited a massive riot among the prisoners, with many seizing the iron bars and shouting at the warden, and some prisoners in the yard attempting to rush forward to rescue O'Connor
Soldiers armed with guns surrounded the gallows from all directions. If he dared to escape, he would be met with a hail of bullets in the next second. Therefore, at this moment, O'Connor could only pray
Yet Wang Bo is still waiting
To kill a chicken to show the monkey
However, what happened next had nothing to do with Wang Bo. The prisoners, who had lost their appeal, were driven back to the prison by the guards, and Wang Bo was no exception.
Now, Rick O'Connor is that chicken
Indeed, there is a portion of the prisoners who not only do not find the hanging cruel, but instead whistle and cheer loudly
No one would have thought that the sound just now was the sound of a chain being snapped. In their impression, humans do not possess such great strength as to break a chain.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the time has reached around 3:00 AM, a moment when people are deeply immersed in their sleep, a period also referred to as the golden sleep phase
However, this also caused him great suffering
He is not quite sure which bastard sent him to Cairo in 1926, but he is very clear that a prison is not where he belongs
In a certain sense, this world is more suitable for Wang Bo's survival than the previous world
Wang Bo carefully looked around, and after confirming that no one was nearby, he pulled forcefully and opened the iron gate
Watching oneself suffocate little by little, yet feeling powerless to break free, is certainly not an easy thing to endure
In just a few breaths, Wang Bo's speed surpassed forty meters per second, approaching the fifty-meter mark
O'Connor displayed a strong will to survive, "Drop the rope and let me go."
In the next second, the soldier moved the mechanism, and O'Connor fell from the gallows, causing the surrounding prisoners to gasp in astonishment
The iron bars of the prison gate were secured with a chain, but this posed no challenge for Wang Bo. He seized the chain and pulled with all his might; a terrifying force of two tons erupted, snapping the chain with a sharp crack.
After everyone had fallen asleep again, Wang Bo quietly got up, removed the iron chain, opened the prison door, and stealthily walked out.
