In response to Xiaogong's request to act together, Gao Muming shook his head and refused.

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request."

Seeing Xiaogong's disappointed expression after being rejected by him, Gao Muming briefly explained the reasons for rejecting Xiaogong.

"In a heavily guarded cell, you can easily expose yourself if you're not careful. As a fireworks master, Xiao Gong, you should be considered quite famous in Inazuma. The chances of being recognized are too high."

"According to what you said, you also helped hide some holders of the Eye of God. Once your identity is exposed and the Tianling Fengxing targets you again, those people you hid will probably suffer as well."

"Besides, just like the fireworks manufacturing industry you're in, professional matters should be left to professionals. It's better to leave things like prison break to professionals like me."

"I see. I'll get you the token right away."

Xiao Gong handed the token to Gao Muming and grabbed Gao Muming's hand.

"Master Zhengsheng, I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry, I will rescue Master Zhengsheng."

That night, taking advantage of the moonlight, Takagi Akira tiptoed to the place near the town magistrate's office that Xiao Gong mentioned was suitable for infiltration.

After observing the surroundings and making sure that no one had discovered him, Takagi Akira tiptoed into the dark and depressing dungeon of the town magistrate's office.

Relying on the invisible barrier, except for occasionally hiding from the jailers walking towards him, Gao Muming can almost be said to be strolling around in the dungeon openly.

Gao Muming looked at the cells where people were imprisoned one by one. Looking at the prisoners lying in the cells to rest, Gao Muming realized a very bad situation.

"I was so busy thinking that the night would be good for infiltration that I forgot that the prisoners would sleep at night. For me, who has only seen the portrait of Master Masakatsu's face, it is quite difficult to successfully find the real Master Masakatsu among so many prisoners."

"I can still observe those who are facing the prison door, but for those who are sleeping with their faces inward, I can't tell whether they are Master Zhengsheng or not."

Just when Gao Muming was having a headache, Gao Muming's sensitive ears seemed to hear a faint groan in the quiet cell.

"There was a muffled groan. Was it my illusion?"

Gao Muming frowned and focused his mental energy on his ears. As his hearing improved, the shouting and cursing, along with the muffled sound of beatings and cries of pain, came clearly into Gao Muming's ears.

"Now that you are here, you have no choice but to be honest. If you want to suffer less physical pain, just tell the truth."

"Tell me, how many fake Eyes of God have you forged? Where did you hide the rest? And who are your accomplices?"

Hearing the key word 'fake God's Eye', Gao Muming's eyes lit up instantly.

"It seems that the one who was tortured was Master Zhengsheng. I was just worried that I didn't know the exact location of Master Zhengsheng, and I thought I would have to wait until tomorrow to search carefully. I didn't expect to find out now. It's really easy to get it without any effort."

Thinking of this, Gao Muming quickly rushed towards the place where the noise came from, but was blocked by a heavy mechanical door.

"I was wondering why there was so little noise. It turns out that all this noise happened in a special interrogation room."

Gao Muming took a quick look at the structure of the mechanism door and soon came up with an idea of ​​how to open it.

"We need to find three magatama to unlock the door. It's a bit troublesome. How about I just wait here and wait for the person who tortured Master Masakatsu to open the door and leave, then I can launch a sneak attack..."

Just as Gao Muming was thinking this, some ominous voices were heard from behind the door.

"Are you okay with using such heavy hands? This guy won't be able to hold on. If someone dies and Lord Kujo Sara finds out, he will punish us for violating the Shogun's orders."

"It's alright. Lord Kujo Sara is leading a team to the outlying island to capture the guy who dared to defy the Eye Hunting Order and escape. He won't be back for a while. If anything goes wrong, just treat it as 'suicide out of fear of punishment' and deal with it quietly."

"No, he's almost dying and you're telling me to stop. I'll go get him some medicine."

"You fool, this guy has helped many God's Eye holders with the fake God's Eye he made. If we can get information from him about those God's Eye holders who escaped the Eye Hunting Order, we will have done a great deed."

Hearing this, Gao Muming, who thought the situation was not good, did not care about anything else and prepared to use force to open the door.

Just when Gao Muming was about to break down the door violently, the closed mechanism door was opened from the inside.

"good chance!"

Takagi Akira rushed into the room when the mechanism door opened, raised his hand and covered the mouth of the jailer who opened the door to get medicine for Master Masakatsu, and at the same time punched the opponent in the stomach. With a dull sound, Maeda's body was turned into a lobster shape by Takagi Akira's attack, and Takagi Akira took advantage of the situation and chopped him unconscious with a knife.

After knocking down one man effortlessly, Gao Muming exerted force on his feet and went straight behind the jailer Kinoshita who was still torturing Master Masakatsu. With just one blow, he knocked the unsuspecting jailer Kinoshita unconscious.

As the jailer Kinoshita fell to the ground, a strange voice sounded in Master Masakatsu's ears.

"You are Master Zhengsheng, right?"

Zhengsheng, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes and saw a face he had never seen before appear in front of him.

Seeing that Gao Muming's clothes were obviously not those of a prison guard, Master Masakatsu, who knew that he was in the deepest part of the prison, couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Although the other person had a dirty and wounded face, Gao Muming was able to tell at a glance that the person in front of him was Master Masakatsu.

Gao Muming took out the fireworks that Xiao Gong gave him as a token of trust and a fake Eye of God from his own Eye of God space and showed them to Master Zhengsheng.

"I'm here to rescue you. This is a token."

Looking at the fireworks and the fake Eye of God that Gao Muming took out, Master Masakatsu's voice began to tear up.

"This... is this given to you by Xiaogong? I knew... someone would come to save me. Let's go quickly. I really can't stay here any longer."

After Gao Muming removed the armor from the two jailers he had knocked unconscious, he locked them in a cage nearby.

After changing into ill-fitting prison guard gear, Takagi Akira secretly opened the invisibility barrier and led Master Masakatsu out of the interrogation room in broad daylight, heading towards the location they had sneaked into before.

Along the way, Zhengsheng, who was unaware that he had become invisible, followed Gao Muming cautiously as he walked past several patrolling prison guards who were coming towards him from the front.

Not long after, Takagi Akira and Masakatsu successfully evacuated from the town magistrate's office as the sky began to turn pale.

Master Zhengsheng took off the ill-fitting jailer uniform and threw it away, his body shaking with excitement.

"I...really...really left that...dark place."

Seeing Master Masakatsu like this, Gao Muming reminded him.

"Now is not the time to be happy. Your injuries need to be treated and hidden in time. After all, it won't be long before your wanted posters, like mine, are plastered all over the streets of Inazuma."
