Chapter 78 - Jail - M

"This is insane Lion! What will happen to her down there? Will there be a safe place to land? Are you sure we don't have to jump with her?" Bull asked while looking towards Adam.

"We have to believe in her Bull. I believe that she can finish the secret on her own and we should do what we can for now. We should look for the last key and meet her at the end." Adam explained while looking towards Bull.

"So what do I do now? I can get out from here right now by going to the roof but I want to fight you. I can't fight you because you don't have all six keys yet this is hell." Roo walked back and forth right beside the gorilla's corpse.

"What do you mean you can leave by going to the roof?" Bull asked while looking towards Roo who suddenly stopped while closing his mouth with both of his hands.

"Oops, sorry. I shouldn't have said that just ignore what I said there, stupid Roo hehe." Roo laughed while scratching the back of his head.

"It means that the exit is on the roof Bull and that's a very good thing for us. We can just keep going upwards while looking for the last key." Adam explained while looking towards Bull who nodded.

"That's a really good plan you're really smart," Roo exclaimed while looking towards Adam.

"Come on Bull let's go look for the last key and wait for Bunny on the roof. If we managed to find it in a short amount of time I bet there will be a lot of free time for us to wait for Bunny on the roof." Adam smiled while looking towards Roo who's eyes suddenly light up.

"What's the last number that you two need?" Roo asked while walking towards Adam who slowly turned around towards him.

"Zero we need number zero," Bull answered while Roo stopped right in front of him and Adam. Roo suddenly closed his eyes and stroked his chin for a couple of seconds.

"AHA! I'm pretty sure I saw a prisoner with a number zero on its back a couple of floors above us!" Roo smiled widely while looking towards Adam and Bull who smiled widely as well.

"Come on and follow me! I'll take you two to that prisoner!" Roo excitedly said while jumping around and suddenly ran towards his right side, as fast as he can towards the staircase that was connected to the floor above them.

"Okay so do we follow him?" Bull asked while looking towards Adam who nodded while running towards the staircase. Bull took a deep breath and followed Adam who already went upstairs.

Adam and Bull followed Roo who quickly ran around the large prison upwards for a couple of levels while looking around each of the floors that they ran past by. Each of the floors was painted in red and littered with corpses of contestants that were missing some of their limbs or their entire head along with corpses of prisoners.

After running up a staircase Adam noticed a prisoner's large back that was covered in dark green fur in a hallway a couple of meters ahead of him. He noticed there were two numbers carved in the back of the prisoner which was the number two and eight.

"Lion look! There's a prisoner that has two digits on its back!" Bull pointed towards the back of the prisoner as the three of them ran past it.

"Yeah, and I wonder why is there a double-digit prisoner, do you know about it Roo?" Adam asked while looking towards Roo who quickly nodded while running up a staircase.

"Well, do you remember how your number was written in a line when it was given to you? If you're lucky you can find a prisoner with two digits carved to its body that will be similar to the one on the line that was given to you and that one key will be counted as two keys in the end." Roo explained while running through the floor platform.

"How do you two not know about this? There's a metal plate near the place where you were put and it told you about that." Roo asked while looking towards a staircase that's connected to the next floor.

"Wait a minute? How do you know about that? Didn't you say you hate reading?" Bull asked while looking towards Roo.

"Yes I do hate reading but a contestant that has a penguin makes told me about it. He told me that if I didn't kill him he would tell me everything about the game stage. So I didn't kill him and he told me everything about the game stage." Roo explained while he turned around and ran up a staircase with Adam and Bull behind him.

Roo suddenly stopped right in front of a hallway that was painted in red after running away a couple of meters from the staircase with Adam and Bull right behind him "Okay here we are. The last time I saw the prisoner with the number zero is here and he ran inside this hallway."

"Okay thank you Roo, I will make this fast. Bull stay here with him okay? I'll be back in just a minute." Adam looked towards Bull who quickly nodded while folding his hands in front of his chest.

"Okay do your best Lion." Bull smiled towards Adam who quickly nodded.

Adam turned around towards the hallway and slowly bends his knees while staring towards it. Adam took a deep breath and his gem suddenly lights up brightly while strands of lightning came out from his gem and crawled towards his arms and legs.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! His watch suddenly flashed bright blue and beeped loudly while showing a bold white line in the middle of it "eight hundred and fifty times."

VWOOOSH! Adam smiled and suddenly dashed forwards into the hallway as fast as he can blasting a large gust of wind towards Bull and Roo while leaving a small trail of lightning on the ground that slowly fades away.

"Oh my! That was very fast! My eyes can't even follow it!" Roo laughed while staring inside the hallway that was slightly lit up with Adam's trail of lightning.

"That's not even his current top speed." Bull smugly smiled towards Roo who has his mouth opened wide.

"WHAT?! Okay, I think I have made a very huge mistake." Roo folded his arms in front of his chest and slowly stroked his chin with his right hand while Bull smugly smiled towards him.

Bull stands on the left side of the hallway entrance and Roo stands on the right side of the hallway entrance while waiting for Adam who was looking for the last key that they need.

Bull closed his right eye as a small light bounced into his eye and suddenly jumped towards Roo while creating a large shield with his left hand "WATCH OUT ROO!"

Bull holds Roo down and pointed his shield upwards blocking a large black arrow that flew towards Roo while Roo holds his head down with both of his hands.
