YM778.TV Chapter 62: Chapter 62: The Prison Built by SR
Qin Yi walked into Room 5 with his head held high, looking around the detention room.
The room wasn\'t very big, about ten square meters, with only a bed and not even a table.
He scanned the ceiling light and the bedsheets. There was nowhere to hide.
After a thorough check, Qin Yi found nothing amiss.
At this moment, a prompt appeared on Qin Yi\'s system—
[Host, please note: The extracted talent has only 30 minutes left. Please clarify how the two prisoners escaped within the last 30 minutes.]
A sense of dread washed over Qin Yi.
Extracting someone else\'s talent was time-limited, and he had to complete the task provided by the system within the set time. Otherwise, it would be considered a task failure, and the extracted talent would return to the original person.
"This is bad!" he exclaimed.
Qin Yi had already solved nine cases, with only one case left.
He had planned to choose an easy one for the last case but did not expect to stumble upon this incident.
Just now, carried away by the law enforcement officers\' high spirits and their praises, he walked in, and the system automatically assumed he took this case as his tenth one.
However, he was now completely clueless!
"Qin Yi, have you found anything?" Ma Feiguang asked from behind.
"Don\'t rush him. Qin Yi is an S-level Reasoning Talent. He\'ll definitely find a way," said Xiao Cao, who was very optimistic about this Liangzhou University genius, especially since Qin Yi had just helped him solve a case.
"Right, we\'re lucky he\'s here tonight," other officers echoed, looking expectantly at Qin Yi.
Lucky my ass!
Qin Yi felt like cursing.
The nine cases he\'d solved were basically ready to be cracked, and he had merely stolen other people\'s efforts to showcase them as his own.
The problem was, this case was sudden and lacked any leads.
He was in a difficult position now.
It was already too late to refuse.
The system had started the countdown.
"Isn\'t there surveillance in the detention room?" Qin Yi inquired.
"There is, but this guy came prepared. We haven\'t finished searching him yet," Ma Feiguang replied, holding a mobile device, projecting the images from the detention room into midair.
The surveillance had two feeds, one from the hallway outside the detention room and one from inside Room 5.
The footage showed Lv He with a bald head sneaking from the interrogation room to the hallway, searching until he found Room 5.
He then spat out something strange from his mouth, and a thick smoke obscured the surveillance from both the detention room and the hallway, making it impossible to see anything.
By the time the smoke cleared, the person was gone.
The surveillance provided no insight into how the two vanished.
Qin Yi silently wiped off sweat, walked to the wall, and tapped it. "From the current situation, these two criminals have probably already left this detention room. They likely have the ability to pass through walls—"
However, Lu Hong interjected coldly, "They couldn\'t possibly pass through walls. Do you think the detention room walls in the enforcer\'s building can be breached just like that?"
"They can\'t pass through walls?" Qin Yi was taken aback.
Lu Zhiwei explained, "The walls of the detention room were designed by an SR-level architect from the Liangzhou Alliance, someone with extremely strong building abilities, a God Refining stage expert. Unless one\'s cultivation is higher than his, it\'s impossible to leave the range of the walls—no matter what method is used. There is only one exit, which is precisely the way we came in."
The prison constructed by an SR-level practitioner was incredibly formidable, instantly nullifying abilities like teleportation and other system powers!
The system had level suppression, and powers wielded by awakeners of lower-level systems would hardly be effective against those from higher-level systems.
The prisoner locked up here was named Wan Qiu, and he had only awakened an R-level system.
"So it\'s like that..."
Qin Yi began to feel uneasy.
He had planned to bluff his way through by phasing through walls or teleporting, but that path had been completely blocked by the SR-level constructor.
He glanced at his system again, seven minutes left.
At this moment, his Reasoning Talent score had already started to drop.
It fell from 121 to 93.
Damn, his Reasoning Talent was about to become ineffective!
Qin Yi felt flustered, but with so many eyes on him, he couldn\'t possibly do anything else.
He feigned composure and then said with certainty, "Then the most likely explanation is that they left through invisibility!"
That was the only explanation possible.
However, at this time, the other law enforcement officers looked at him with strange expressions.
"What\'s wrong? Did I say something incorrect?" Qin Yi asked, feeling guilty.
Lu Hong pointed toward the corridor of the containment cell and said, "See the door at the end of the corridor? That door is the masterpiece of that SR constructor, and any disguise, no matter who uses it or how, will be stripped away when passing through that door."
What kind of SR constructor is this! More like an SB constructor!
What was the point in building such a sophisticated prison, just to make a fool of me!
Qin Yi internally cursed the constructor\'s ancestors over and over.
He was the one everyone had placed their high hopes on. If not for this SB constructor, he could have made up something on the spot and muddled through since the law enforcement officers didn\'t know how the criminal had escaped. That way, whatever nonsense he spouted would have seemed credible.
But this SB constructor had to block him in every way!
Lu Hong looked at Qin Yi coldly and said, "Don\'t you have strong reasoning abilities? Can\'t you deduce the details from all these aspects?"
"I..."
Qin Yi\'s face turned red.
He had only extracted someone else\'s reasoning skills, not their memories!
Besides, he was not a professional law enforcement officer; how could he understand so much?
By now, his talent value had dropped to 59.
"Qin Yi, don\'t get nervous! Just show the same confidence you did when you helped us solve the case earlier. It will be all right," Xiao Cao said from the side.
—I\'ve already returned the Reasoning Talent to you guys, how could it still be all right?
Qin Yi cursed internally.
"You haven\'t got a clue, have you?" Lu Hong pressed, staring at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi bit his lip, still not giving up: "Give me a moment to think."
"Then think, Xiao Wei, go get Beifei over here. He might have an idea about this," Lu Hong said.
Beifei?
The law enforcement officers here remembered Xiang Beifei and knew he was just an N-level Awakener.
Xiao Cao spoke from the side, "Captain, Beifei is just an N-level Awakener. Will it be useful to bring him here?"
"Yeah, if even our detective genius Qin Yi tonight can\'t figure this out, what good would a high school student do?" Ma Feiguang also chimed in.
"Right, if even an S-level like Qin Yi can\'t deduce it, then he probably has no chance either," the other law enforcement officers nodded in agreement.
