(Translator's Note: The title uses "Mole" (Wòdǐ) in a slang sense or refers to the Iron Golems being undercover, or simply asking if these constructs are the backup Mudu prepared.)
Since things had come to this point, Jing Yuan naturally wouldn't say anything more. He simply waved his hand to Fu Zhu's trio, his interest waning slightly.
"Alright, you guys go to the Shackling Prison. There's probably cleanup to be done there too. I still have to continue catching the mole."
Fu Zhu didn't say much more either. Taking Feixiao and March 7th, he headed straight for the Shackling Prison.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, inside the Shackling Prison.
Although the Shackling Prison was supposed to be quiet as a prison, Mudu and the group of Borisin felt the silence was a bit excessive after infiltrating it.
Especially after descending several levels and finding not a single guard in sight, Mudu felt that something was even more wrong here.
"Wang Cai, is there really no problem with your intelligence?"
Mudu once again began to suspect whether the intel Wang Cai brought back was true or false.
Wang Cai spread his claws with a somewhat aggrieved look. "My Lord, doesn't the fact that there are no guards here prove that my intel is true? At this time, those guards are all still changing shifts!"
Mudu felt that made sense, but for some reason, there was always an unprovoked panic in his heart.
"Let's go. Hurry up and rescue Lord Warhead and leave this damn place."
Led by Wang Cai, Mudu and the group of Borisin quickly arrived in front of Hulei's cell. Although the cell was blocked by a thick, heavy gate, Mudu had anticipated this. He immediately waved to the back, and two Borisin disguised as Artifex Commission craftsmen walked over and began cracking the door lock.
In no time at all, the cell door was opened. Through the gloom, they could vaguely see a massive figure bound by various chains inside.
Although they couldn't see the situation inside clearly from the outside, Mudu and the group of Borisin sensed an extremely familiar aura from the figure. Every one of them entered the cell with wild joy.
"Lord Warhead!"
In the dim cell, Hulei raised his head upon hearing the voices. Seeing a group of people from the Six Commissions of the Luofu appearing before him, he couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Mudu also realized that their current attire was very misleading, so he immediately turned his head and signaled his subordinates to remove their disguises. Only after they revealed their original forms did Hulei react.
He wanted to speak, but suddenly couldn't hold back and let out a whimper of unclear meaning. This reaction stunned all the Borisin.
Whether in legends or in their impressions, they didn't remember Lord Warhead ever making such a... tragic sound laced with humiliation.
Hulei seemed to want to cover up his blunder and immediately roared angrily, "Have the current Borisin regressed so much the more they live? To actually put on the skins of Xianzhou people and compromise for the sake of the bigger picture?!"
Mudu was frightened into hurriedly kneeling down to apologize. "I'm sorry, Lord Warhead. This isn't what we wanted either. It was a last resort to rescue you!"
"Hmph! Then why aren't you getting me down quickly?!"
"Yes!"
Mudu waved his hand, and immediately several Borisin stepped forward, wanting to release Hulei from his restraints. But before they could move, Hulei suddenly reminded them again.
"Just undo the shackles on my hands. No need to worry about the mechanism behind me!"
The Borisin had originally planned to just undo the chains on Hulei's arms. After all, Hulei was their Warhead; as long as they gave him a little assistance, the restraints of the Shackling Prison definitely couldn't hold him.
However, now that Hulei explicitly reminded them not to use the mechanism behind him, driven by curiosity, quite a few Borisin who were closer couldn't help but look behind Hulei. Then, they stood frozen on the spot.
They all saw the [Sheep F*cker Machine] operating at high speed behind Hulei. The strange movement pattern of the [Sheep F*cker Machine] immediately made them associate it with the scene of female Borisin reproducing.
"Hiss..."
Quite a few Borisin gasped, an absurd idea popping up in their brains.
Could it be that Lord Hulei is female? That shouldn't be!
But, they had only heard of humans using this kind of punishment method on females. It had never been used on a male before!
Just as this group of Borisin looked at the [Sheep F*cker Machine] in bewilderment, unable to understand it, Hulei's arms broke free from the restraints. He swung his sharp claws, slicing open the throats of the few Borisin closest to him.
Those few Borisin looked at the gloomy Hulei with blank faces, clutching their slit throats and letting out incomprehensible gurgling sounds before collapsing to the ground.
The remaining Borisin were instantly terrified into lowering their heads, not daring to look directly at Hulei again.
Hulei reached out to pick up the corpse of one Borisin. Watching the fresh blood gushing from its throat, he unconsciously gulped.
He had been trapped in the Shackling Prison for several hundred years, never eating. His physical condition was extremely poor. He needed to feed.
But thinking of how he had been grinded by the [Sheep F*cker Machine] previously, Hulei threw the corpse back down.
He was a bit worried. If he ate now, would it be expelled directly without even having time to be absorbed?
Mudu, who kept his head lowered, sensed this scene and raised his head in confusion to look at Hulei.
He naturally knew that Hulei had been trapped for hundreds of years and the Luofu definitely wouldn't have been kind enough to provide him with food. Now Hulei urgently needed to feed, but why did Lord Hulei suddenly give up?
The Borisin didn't have any morals about not eating their own kind.
"Lord Warhead, aren't you going to replenish your nutrients?"
Hulei let out a cold snort for reasons Mudu couldn't understand. "No eating. I can tear that damned guy to shreds just the same! Go, wolf cubs, go find that guy named Fu Zhu!"
Mudu didn't understand. Shouldn't we escape first right now?
"Lord Warhead, your subordinate feels we should escape the Luofu first, then make plans!"
The next second, Hulei's massive claw swatted him directly, smashing him ruthlessly against the wall.
Before Mudu could recover, Hulei appeared in front of him again, pinning him against the wall and lifting his feet off the ground.
"Borisin must seek revenge for every grievance!" Hulei glared at Mudu with a face full of rage. "Do you little guys not have a shred of bloody nature left? If I don't kill that guy named Fu Zhu, no one think about leaving!"
"But Lord Warhead, you may not necessarily be his match!"
Although Mudu believed in his family's Warhead, he had occasionally heard of Fu Zhu's fame while outside. That was an Emanator!
"What did you say?!"
Hulei was furious, squeezing Mudu's neck as if he was about to crush him to death right there.
Mudu panicked and hurriedly retorted, "This subordinate misspoke! But Lord Warhead, please leave the Shackling Prison with me first. Only after we go out can we find that human named Fu Zhu!"
Only then did Hulei hmph, casually tossing him to the ground.
"Lead the way."
"Yes."
Mudu quickly got up and walked out of the cell, then immediately raised his head and let out a howl.
Hulei walked out from behind him, looking at him in confusion.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"Lord Warhead, there are still many troublesome small fries in the Shackling Prison. Naturally, we can't trouble you to clean them up. So I am summoning the Beast Mechs we used The Company to infiltrate into the Shackling Prison beforehand to come and help."
Hulei nodded, having no objections. He stood in place and waited for a while. He turned his head to look as dozens of Iron Golems walked out from the shadows on the other side, and couldn't help but point at them and ask:
"Are you sure these are Beast Mechs?"
