10 minutes later, Huang Yi walked slowly to the door of the stone chamber and wave towards Lao Si, and shouted," I got Key no. 11!"
"Oh! You finally got the key?" Lao Si and the other 4 wardens was ecstatic, and immediately ran to the border of the stone chamber.
"Where is the key?" Lao Si stared at Huang Yi, and his glace was scanning his whole body.
Suddenly, Huang Yi stretched out his hands and with lightning speed, grab hold of Lao Si, and pull him violently into the stone chamber!
It all happened so fast that they were unable to react!
"Ah!" The next moment, Lao Si exclaimed with a mournful voice, and stay paralyzed on the golden ground. He seemed to be in extreme pain, as though he was at death"s door, and he helpless wailed," Mr… Mr Miao Sha, why are you doing this?"
"It has already come to this state and you still want to pretend?" Huang Yi stared at Lao Si, and slowly announced," You are the Nine Headed Snake, Shi Lin!"
Lao Si shivered, with shock written all over his face, and stared back at Huang Yi, his green eyes filled with disbelief, as though he forgot the pain that he was suffering from.
After observing Lao Si"s expression, Huang Yi was more confident in his own deductions. He pointed to the surrounding golden walls, and questioned," Why are you always so reluctant to enter this stone chamber? It"s not that you are unwilling, it is because you can"t!"
"What are you talking about? I don"t understand. You… you help me get out of here!" Lao Si begged while enduring the pain.
"If I let you out, then I will be the person to die. I can only rely on this stone chamber to kill you, since you are the mighty Nine Headed Snake, and your nemesis is the Yellowstone in this chamber!" Huang Yi stared at the struggling Lao Si on the ground, however he had no intention to help.
Lao Si"s face paled! He did not have much blood in his face to begin with and now it was bleach as clean as the face of a dead person. "Why did you say that?"
Huang Yi glimpsed at him and explained," Initially, I did not know that this chamber was made of Yellowstone. Then, I just recalled the appearance of Yellowstone, and the colour and material fit exactly! Once, I took out a scale and then it just melted into a heap of black dust. This made me deduct that any support tools were not allowed in this stone chamber. But I was wrong! It"s the nemesis of snakes! In addition, not removing the special properties of the Yellowstone, it could also block out all convicts, and you are just one of them."
Lao Si endured the pain, lifted his head with much difficulty, with its green eyes staring dead straight at Huang Yi, and said," Just before of this one observation, you guess that I was Shi Lin?"
"Of course not!" Huang Yi shook his head," Actually, I did not know who you are in the beginning that you are Shi Lin, but today, I was able to string up all the suspicions and details, and finally came to a conclusion. Firstly, as the chief warden of Heroes Prison, taking care of the prison by the Death G.o.d, with such a well-known G.o.d, but you are too courteous to me, and this itself is abnormal."
"Secondly, these few days while you were waiting for me to complete my mission, you never had any intention to manage the prison at all, and it is not how a chief warden should behave."
"Thirdly, as a chief warden, but you cannot step into the stone chamber? How can there be a location in the whole prison that even the chief warden cannot step in?"
"Next, if you really cannot enter the stone chamber, then how did you know that the keys to the prison cells are at the North East corner? Isn"t it contradicting? All these point to the truth that you are not the chief warden!"
"Even if I am not the chief warden, why did you insist I am Shi Lin? The materials to make Heroes Prison are special, and each cell had a sealing and anti-demon capabilities, they cannot be destroyed, and one cannot use any abilities or spells in the room. If I am Shi Lin, how did I escape?" Lao Si defended himself angrily, but both his legs were starting to turn black under the effects of the Yellowstone.
Huang Yi ignored his anger and shook his head and replied," Although each cell does indeed have security features to prevent escape, but on the description board of the Nine Headed Snake, it was written that it can shed its skin! After shedding its skin, it can become 9 miniature humanoids, and they could completely escape through the gap of the door. From what I understood about the convicts here, only the Nine Headed Snake could accomplish that! Therefore, even though you are not the chief warden, there is a high possibility that you are Shi Lin!"
"That is just your guess, and you have no evidence!" barked Lao Si, with a twisted expression and now both his handed have started to turn to dust.
"Evidence? You turning into black dust is evidence itself!" Huang Yi looked the black dust that was initially the legs of Lao Si. He took out 8 green pearls from his storage ring and move them in front of Lao Si and continued," that day, when I was in the stone chamber and discover the pearls, I notice there was a pile of black dust next to them. Back then, I did not pay attention to it, but I know that the 8 pearls look very similar to your eyes! Same size, same colour! That black pile of dust looks like the dust that was left behind now!"
Lao Si glanced at the eight green pearls, and his expression changed, and painfully shut his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said," Just because they look similar, you suspect that it was my eyes?"
"Similar is just one of them! There are 8 pearls here, meaning that 4 people perished here, and after adding you on the ground and the 4 other wardens outside the door, there were exactly 9 people! And after shedding its skin, you can become 9 people! The numbers are the same! Therefore, the 8 eyeb.a.l.l.s were left behind by the other 4 clones of you! When you escape from the cell, you wanted to get your own key. But you did not know that the stone chamber was made of Yellowstone and your clones were not strong enough to resist against the corrosion effects. Thus, they were buried here with 8 eyeb.a.l.l.s!" Huang Yi finished his a.n.a.lysis, and turned his head to the other 4 wardens, who were also paralyzed on the ground and in pain. They were suffering so much as though they were linked with Lao Si.
"Then how do you explain why the Yellowstone could only corrode my body but not my eyes? Unless the Yellowstone also have mercy on me?"
