Returning from the abyss

Chapter 647 Prison
The army commander of the shield soon appeared.He walked out of a corridor on the side, just as the name gave a sense of thickness, wearing heavy armor, carrying two huge shields like door panels on his back, with multiple small diamond-shaped shields embedded in his arms and legs, one end She has gray hair, but her face is not particularly old, her eyes are burning like fire.

"My name is Heraclius, and I hear your whistle."

The head of the legion turned his eyes around the crowd, and his voice was serious and powerful.

"Hope the whistle isn't calling for something frivolous."

"We came here to collect and organize the situation of the palace prison under the reward order of the nobles. I hope you can tell us, what is the current situation of the palace prison? Where can we go to carry out our work?"

Chirac sighed slightly: "It's the job of the nobles again... Show me your IDs."

Lan Tu stepped forward, took out something from his pocket and handed it to him.Chirac took a closer look and put the thing inside his armor.

"I'll keep this until you leave." He said seriously, "Are all the people behind you going in?"

"It should be all of them." Lan Tu glanced, "If it's troublesome, you can reduce the number of people."

"It doesn't matter, any problem will fall under the shield." Heraclius shook his head slightly, "Come with me, and do everything as I say."

He entered the temple, and the crowd followed him in silence.There seemed to be some kind of sound suppression method in the temple. After entering, Lu Ning felt that her ears were very quiet, and she couldn't even hear the breathing of the people around her.

Heraclius walked all the way to those seats, reached out and patted the only seat behind, and pointed to Lan Tu: "You sit here."

His voice was also suppressed a bit, but it was still resonant. Lan Tu didn't dare to violate it, so he walked to that seat and sat down.

Then Heraclius pointed to the four people in Pai: "You guys, sit down in the four seats in front."

The four sat down one by one.

Lu Ning turned her head to look at the rest of the people. The first sixteen seats were more than enough, but she didn't know whether everyone should go in together.

"The rest of you, sit in the first row."

"Excuse me, can we leave one or two people here? I'm worried..." Liu Yunqing just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Heraclius: "This is your decision, the person who wants to go in sits on the seat!"

"I think it's better for each team to keep one person outside." Jean asked Lu Ning for advice.

"Okay, but who do we keep?"

"I... I'll stay." Dorian said with her head lowered, "I'm not in good shape, so I won't go in and cause trouble for you."

"Then our team is Li Yiju." Liu Yunqing glanced at Li Yiju, "No objection, you are also sick!"

Li Yiju spread his hands helplessly: "I'm almost better...but since you insist, fine."

Rudolph looked eager to try, and it seemed that he had long coveted the palace prison.

After Lu Ning sat on the seat, she suddenly felt a sense of heavy pressure slowly falling on her body, as if the seat itself was a heavy burden.Lu Ning used the treasure to relieve her psychological discomfort, but the gradual blackening of her vision should not be due to her vision problems.

A sticky smell, moist, warm, bloody... Lu Ning couldn't describe which one it was, but this smell would definitely make people feel uncomfortable, as if they were in some kind of animal's body.

She stood up from the chair, there was no one around, and some light slowly appeared around, the dim blue illuminated the thick walls made of rough stones, Lu Ning snapped her fingers, and a flame appeared On his shoulder, he found himself in a small cubicle of less than five square meters, with a row of iron fences in front of him, but the door was wide open.

She turned her head in doubt, glanced at her seat, and then at the wall.

【Instructions for foreigners】.

"Isn't this place also a relic?" Lu Ning complained, and then read on.

[Enter this prison from the sixteen seats below, and you will get a temporary prisoner status.

This status will not limit your personal freedom, but it will limit your movement authority inside the prison.You can't go through doors that only jailers and wardens can go through, you can't use non-prisoner equipment, you can't get any keys and similar concept items.

As a prisoner, if you don't take the lead in attacking prisoners other than "severe criminals", you will also not be hurt by them.But "serious criminals" are very dangerous for anyone. Their prison uniforms are orange and white, and they should stay away as much as possible once they encounter them.

To leave the prison, you must find a jailer or warden who will lead you out.Any attempt by an individual to leave the prison exit will be considered a prison break.

When you kill more than three people in prison, your status will also change to a "feloner". 】

"...This rule is quite interesting." Lu Ning lowered her head. Even the robes made of treasures seemed unable to resist the power of this prison. Although the style of her clothes has not changed at this moment, the color has changed. Blue and white prison uniform.

But since freedom is not restricted, it should be known that this place is used by foreign visitors.But why didn't the commander of the Heraclius army explain it in advance?Many people will panic when they suddenly fall into such a situation, right?

Lu Ning searched the small cubicle carefully again, and after confirming that there were no clues, she walked out the door.

The corridors of the prison are actually very spacious-compared to the cramped room.Lu Ning knew that the room she came in was actually quite big, and some single cells even had only three square meters of activity space.After she left, she found that there were also some cubicles around, but there was no one in them.

"This prison is quite big." Lu Ning walked along the aisle to the direction of the stairs, and the ground near there turned into the appearance of a few metal plates laid on a wire grid, going up or down through the grid on the edge. Looking down, you can find that there are other floors above and below.When Lu Ning stepped on the metal plate, he could hear the rattling sound. Unless the prisoner could fly, there would definitely be a commotion as long as he passed by here.

Continue to go forward from this stairwell, and after passing through a row of unoccupied cubicles, you will come to a crossroads. In front of you is a very conspicuous activity area with a relatively large area; there is an iron door locked on the right , the red light on it is flashing, it is probably the kind of door that needs permission; on the left hand side is a long passage with a white light above the head, which looks a little weird.

But to be honest, after experiencing the labyrinth of the Pavilion of Time that has surpassed common sense, Lu Ning felt that this ordinary complex building was much more comfortable to walk around.She first entered the activity area and took a look. There is no real so-called "activity equipment" here. It is just a large square, and there are even more than ten photos on the wall, all of which are black and white. According to the introduction below, they are all death sentences. It was taken before the execution of the criminal.

This place is not so much a playground as a place of warning.

Lu Ning turned around and found nothing, so she took photos of the prisoners, and then walked out into the passageway lined with white lights.This passage is about 80 meters long, and the end extends obliquely to the left and right sides, with the left side going up and the right side going down.Lu Ning thought for a while and decided to go up first. After all, the further down a place like a prison, the more dangerous things will be encountered.

The upward part basically goes up with a gentle slope, without stairs, and Lu Ning can see that the road has a certain curvature, and can only see the passage about 60 meters ahead. As she continues to move forward, the top of the head The white light disappeared, replaced by a more difficult to see shimmer in the square holes on the walls on both sides.There was lighting around Lu Ning, which was even a little hard to detect.

"120 meters."

When Lu Ning stepped onto the flat ground, she also whispered the distance she had estimated. This is still a cell area, but it is completely different from the fenced places where she was before.

The walls here look very thick, and the material is somewhat different from ordinary stone.All the doors are metal doors made of the same special-looking material. The surface is rough and the whole body is pitch black—not because of coloring or other problems, only a gap about the size of a brick is opened about the eye.

Obviously these prisons are used for more serious prisoners, but the biggest problem is that about half of the metal doors are open.

"How many prisoners are there in the prison..." Lu Ning narrowed her eyes. There was still no sign of any activity here, but after a close inspection, it was easy to find that the iron door locks that were opened were all damaged, and they were External Sabotage - Someone set these prisoners free.

Since there was such an opportunity, Lu Ning also checked the inside of the cell. The size of these cells is different, and each cell has many scratches. It is suspected that if it is not for the special material here, it is not just Scratch is so easy.The furnishings in the cell are pretty much the same, a metal bed, a small square table embedded in the wall, and a small pit for convenience.

Lu Ning stood outside the door and photographed all the prison cells. From here, there will be a fence door on the other side, and there is another stairwell across the door, but what is more eye-catching is her coming. At that time, there was a low-lying pothole on the side of the end of the ramp, with a vertical distance of about eight meters downward. Standing on the edge, one could smell the damp and rotten smell below.

water prison.

She can use the electronic eyes to search the situation below, and another bad thing is that the special material here can block the detection ability of the electronic eyes, and she can't rely on the electronic eyes to see through and search for others.

At this moment, there was a "bang" sound from behind.

Lu Ning immediately turned her head and saw a person standing by the fence door at the end of the corridor.This person was wearing a blue and white prison uniform, but his head seemed to be covered in countless mosaics, and his face could not be seen clearly.The prisoner's hands and feet were covered with thick plush gloves and boots, and now he was "watching" Lu Ning while clutching the railing.

"Who are you?" Lu Ning frowned.

"Gulu, wow, croak..." The prisoner made a series of unidentified sounds.

You can't see your face, your clothes have no characteristics, your skin is not exposed at all, and you can't even understand your speech...

Lu Ning suspected that this might not be the case with this prisoner alone, but that all the prisoners in the prison looked at each other like this.

Lu Ning raised her hand to gesture a few times, pointing to herself and then to the prisoner. The prisoner immediately clapped his hands, then shook the fence vigorously twice, and thumped the door lock.

"It's really difficult to communicate like this." Lu Ning tried to throw the photo away, but as soon as the photo left, it turned into black powder and disappeared.

She could only spread her hands to the other party.

The prisoner thought for a while, and then began to make gestures, as if to instruct Lu Ning how to go. Lu Ning carefully recorded his instructions, but unfortunately only these were also not sure how to go. She was really not familiar with the structure of this prison, so Knowing seems to be the downward path to take.

Of course, Lu Ning didn't know what the origin of this prisoner was, and she definitely wouldn't trust him completely, but she did indeed come to the end of this road, and being a prisoner also couldn't open the gate of the iron fence.

She turned back to the intersection where the left and right diverged before, this time going down.

There are many more steps on the downward path. In other words, the descending distance is actually more than the upward distance. This time, there are many more paintings on the side walls, which are different from the previous photos. These are all warnings. Some vicious prisoners have more detailed introductions.

"Islet the Tongue Cutter, Sparrow the Confessor, Grandson Fu of the Human Portrait, Chine the Bone Harp, and Seto the Paper Clothes."

The photos fell into the robe one by one, and Lu Ning inexplicably felt a sense of heaviness. These people could see the madness and cruelty in their eyes just from the portraits. She had no doubt that if these people went to the distribution center, they would be killed by puppets. The party is closed in seconds.The number of human lives in the crimes under each portrait is in units of thousands. It is hard to imagine that there are so many heinous people alive in the kingdom like before.

She stepped on a puddle of water and came to the end of the downward passage. There are indeed many roads extending here. A small semi-circular hall is flanked by other passages of other prisons, and on the arc there is another passage. Three paths diverged.Lu Ning played back the previous prisoner's directions, and it seemed that he was going to the left front intersection.

But there was a layer of water on the ground under his feet, not thick, about one or two centimeters, but Lu Ning didn't smell any peculiar smell, and the water looked very clear. If it was stagnant water, it might have stink long ago.Lu Ning listened carefully to her surroundings. The electronic eyes were still functionally blocked, but she could hear the sound of water flowing.Following the sound, Lu Ning walked to the prison area on the left, and soon found the place where the sound came from——

In a bathroom, a prisoner in an orange-and-white prison uniform is pressing the head of a prisoner in a blue-and-white prison uniform in a sink, and the water on the ground flows out from here.
