Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!

The envoy of the Scarlet Family delineated the matter unequivocally: the ten condemned criminals were intended to assist Sheryl in forming two teams.

By utilizing these death row inmates, there would be no need for innocents to venture into the labyrinth to face certain death, thereby alleviating Sheryl of unnecessary psychological burden.

After having made this clear to Sheryl, the Scarlet Family's clandestine scheme regarding the "Aqua Nest" was now an open stratagem.

And this audacious demeanor, leaving Sheryl exasperated and fuming, yet unable to vent her anger, was truly frustrating.

Sheryl had no desire to restructure two teams as per the Scarlet Family's decree. However, if she wished to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, she had no choice but to accept these ten death row inmates.

(The Scarlet Family... I, Sheryl, will remember this grudge...!)

After a protracted internal struggle, Sheryl eventually accepted the ten condemned criminals sent by the Scarlet Family.

She concocted a pretext to dismiss all current members of the labyrinth raid team, quietly retaining only Felix, hoping to uncover the truth through him.

Time swiftly passed, and three days later, the day for the labyrinth raid team to depart finally arrived.

During this period, Tyler had been spending all his available time honing his skill proficiency and resting to restore his magic. Otherwise, he was mass-producing potions to enhance his Pharmacist occupation experience, thus leading an extremely "utilitarian" life.

Heloise, who had been with Tyler day and night, at one point thought the Benevolent Deity's messenger must have gone mad.

After all, from Heloise' unknowing perspective, when Tyler was honing his proficiency, he merely seemed to be sitting there, lost in thought.

"Just wait for me in the town. Trust me, there won't be a problem."

Before departing, Heloise, Vanessa, and Garvit all simultaneously insisted on entering the labyrinth with Tyler again, but he firmly refused them all.

Tyler still clearly remembered the scene of total annihilation in the future death scene.

Perhaps, in that future, he had allowed everyone to enter the labyrinth together due to an ill-founded optimism because he was unaware of the impending ending.

"You don't need to see me off either, I'm just going to explore the labyrinth, I'm not planning to fight to the death. I'll be back soon, so don't make this seem so tragic."

Under Tyler's strong insistence, everyone had to comply with his suggestion and bid him farewell at the inn's entrance.

Heloise dipped her fingers in her own saliva and drew a circle on the back of Tyler's hand, solemnly stating this was a traditional ceremony of the tigermen race. This ceremony would imbue all her luck into Tyler, ensuring his safe return.

"You can't wipe it off, okay? Absolutely don't wipe it off!"

Seeing Heloise so earnest, Tyler could only smile and accept.

After Heloise, Vanessa presented Tyler with three precious potent magic potions and seriously cautioned him about the precautions.

Tyler remembered these magic potions; he had seen Viviana use them before. They restored magic at the cost of life energy, but in the world of Prison Star, they were extremely precious magic restoration items.

Finally, Garvit suggested that Tyler ride Pegasus into the labyrinth as its flying ability would definitely be of great help.

After contemplating for a moment, Tyler politely declined Garvit's kind offer.

The convenience of flight was indeed quite beneficial, but in this life-and-death situation, Tyler preferred to charge into the battlefield with his trusted partner, Moto-chan, rather than an unfamiliar Pegasus.

"Alright, you can stop here. I'll be back soon."

Tyler didn't feel that this trip to the "Aqua Nest" would be particularly dangerous, but everyone's farewells had turned the atmosphere into one of tragic valor as if he were a hero of Sparta.

(Let me see what the Scarlet Family is really up to...!)

.

Prior to rendezvousing with the labyrinth raid team, Tyler first sought out Moto-chan at the stables.

It had been almost nine days since he last laid eyes on Moto-chan. This reunion after a "long" absence of nine days almost made Tyler fail to recognize Moto-chan — There were significant changes in Moto-chan's appearance compared to Tyler's last impression of him!

Presently, Moto-chan's physique was a notch more robust than a regular warhorse, standing above two meters tall when erect, and weighing an estimated three to four hundred kilograms. A glossy sheen of metallic luster adorned the pitch-black muscles, and several healed scars silently narrated the trials it had gone through.

Moreover, its four hooves were also quite striking, the shimmering silvery metallic hooves, akin to warhammers, hammered the ground with every step.

Tyler used his identification ability to confirm Moto-chan's information and found that not only had it grown in appearance, but its basic information had also seen a substantial improvement!

While Tyler had been busy with his own cultivation, Moto-chan didn't lag behind his master. It had evolved from the initial Tier 1 [Iron-hoofed Warhorse] to the Tier 2 [Steel-hoofed Warhorse], with all its attributes seeing a substantial improvement, and it even learned a new skill!

"It's just like you, Moto-chan! Always surprising me!"

Tyler said happily, patting Moto-chan's back. Moto-chan grunted a few times in a very low voice, as if saying that this little progress was nothing to boast about.

Subsequently, Tyler mounted some of his equipment and tools on Moto-chan's horse armor, then set off riding Moto-chan.

.

When Tyler arrived at the rendezvous point, Ice Polestar Sheryl and Branch Chief Pamela were already waiting there with two teams of convicts.

Tyler had heard about the convicts from Sheryl the day before. He didn't comment on the Scarlet family's actions, but he did understand the information that anyone who entered the Aqua Nest would inevitably die.

There wasn't much idle chat after the three met. After briefly confirming the precautions, they headed towards the entrance of the "Aqua Nest".

Along the way, with Ice Polestar Sheryl escorting them, the convicts didn't dare to act recklessly. When they arrived at the entrance of the labyrinth, they all obediently followed orders and went in one after another.

The entrance to the "Aqua Nest" did seem similar to the Gateway of Trials to Tyler. They both looked like rectangular glowing bodies, like teleportation portals.

However, the differences were also quite obvious. The teleportation portal of the labyrinth entrance displayed the words "Labyrinth: Aqua Nest" in both human and demon languages, and its color was also different from the white, yellow, orange, red, and purple of the trials. It was entirely a gloomy green light.

The two entrances of the "Aqua Nest" were less than fifty meters apart. Under the urging of Ice Polestar Sheryl, two teams of convicts entered their respective entrances.

Then, after a five-minute countdown, the two entrances turned gray one after another, meaning that until the people who had entered all died or all left the labyrinth, the entrance would remain closed.

"Felix, if you go in after everything in the labyrinth is over, I will consider your actions as a breach of agreement."

"Don't worry, Lord Sheryl. I should be able to go in soon."𝙗𝒆𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙣𝙚𝒕
