Chapter 14 - 14 Chapter 14 1-star Task (2/2)

su nan frowned. he had died in both of his foreknowledge attempts. at least the first time, he knew he was killed by a shout. however, this second time, he didn’t even know how he died.

“”30th prison cell, could it be that there is a terrifying existence imprisoned in cell no. 30?””

having used up both chances, he couldn’t go left or right and couldn’t do anything now. all he could do was wait for the task panel to refresh silently.

soon, the time came to midnight.

suddenly, su nan clearly felt that his heavily wounded and weakened body instantly recovered, as if his state had been reset.

on the task panel, the daily tasks refreshed.

[daily task 1: kill a guard]

task difficulty: 3 stars

task reward: 15 demon points.

[daily task 2: enter cell no. 24]

task difficulty: 1 star

task reward: 1 demon point.

[daily task 3: hunt any mortal-level demon]

task difficulty: 2 stars

task reward: 5 demon points.

“”one-star task?””

when seeing the difficulty of the second task, su nan was taken aback, then smiled.

even if a high-difficulty task is good, completing it is vital.

although the one-star task’s reward is not much, it would allow him to have one unlimited logout opportunity.

that was like having an extra life.

with eyes filled with happiness, he immediately looked at the one-star task, wanting to complete it first.

however, when he looked at the content of the task, he couldn’t help but frown.

they wanted him to enter cell no. 24?

what kind of joke was this? he had just left cell no. 19, and now he was being asked to go into cell no. 24?

moreover, were the prison cells that easy to breach?

the prison doors of this prison weren’t easy to break, and it was impossible to enter without a key.

“”key? right, i have a key!””

he had an idea, and his eyes brightened.

the first time he entered the game, he found a dagger and a key in cell no. 19, and the key was still in his personal space.

[slightly rusty key: common item, an unknown person’s lost key. close observation reveals the numbers 2 and 4 faintly engraved on the key.]

“”2 and 4, could this be the key to cell no. 24?””

he had never seen a key to the prison door before and wasn’t sure if this key would unlock the cell door.

however, judging from the current task, the chances were high, otherwise, it wouldn’t be such a coincidence.

“”no wonder this task is only one-star. with the key in my hand, it’s naturally easy to complete.””

with the key in hand, he headed straight for cell no. 24.

cell no. 24 was not far from him, and su nan soon stopped in front of a cell door with the numbers 2 and 4 engraved on it.

however, what made him frown was that he just realized that all the prison doors in this prison had no locks or keyholes for the key!

he tried touching the key to the old door, but there was no reaction.

“”how do i open this?””

he didn’t know what to do. should he really directly blow up the door?

“”if there’s no place for the key, how does the wolf demon open the prison doors?””

just as he was about to continue his research, suddenly, a series of sounds came from the direction of the prison exit. su nan instinctively looked towards the exit.

the corridor wasn’t straight but curved, as if this prison was built in a circular formation. standing here, it was impossible to see what was happening on the other end of the corridor, but su nan knew the source of the noise.

the prison guard was here!

“”i mustn’t be discovered!””

he had seen the power of the guards. they were too strong for him to resist. there was no time to continue his research. he had to quit the game immediately.

[you are currently in a dangerous environment and temporarily unable to quit the game. please select a safe location to exit.]

“”can’t quit? now there’s trouble.””

he didn’t know what mechanism the game used to determine him in a dangerous environment, but he knew that there was no place to hide here. if he stayed, he would be discovered quickly.

if he didn’t have foreknowledge earlier, he might have gone deeper into the prison, but the foreknowledge of death before had made him think otherwise.

he couldn’t go forward, nor could he go back.

with no other way, he could only pin his hopes on the key in his hand.

“”i can only use the foreknowledge once.””
