Enforcer's Handbook

In the middle of the night, Song Lan and "Void" were invited to visit the prison located in the capital of the Kingdom of Uzor-Nebrus.

This prison was designed by the architects who came to support the swarm, and it was built together with the Death Crab. The "Sea of ​​Soul" played a huge role in it. Just like the theory proposed by Song Lan, the large amount of knowledge stored in it is enough for the Devourer to survive in a short period of time. Builders with a large number of functions are hatched within a short period of time.

Under the cover of night, most of the senior members of the Brotherhood have gone to sleep.

After all, it was undoubtedly a long and absurd day for them. They were wiped out when attacking the Death Crab clan, and finally became prisoners of the Death Crab.

An ancient kingdom that has never been recorded has emerged before their eyes.

The death crabs turned out to be intelligent creatures-this is a theory that no biologist has ever proposed before. They learned construction from humans and set up prisons specially used to hold prisoners.

They are probably the first human prisoners of this ancient kingdom, and no one knows what will happen to them.

Of course, not everyone can sleep peacefully in fear.

"Jack, Jack Roman, how's it going outside?"

In the darkness, everyone called Jack's name.

Jack Roman opened his eyes. The voice came from the cell next door to him. The prison was pitch black, and he could only judge the other party's identity through the sound.

Strangely enough, after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't match the prisoner next door with any acquaintances.

But he thought about it again. After the fraternity grew, there were many newcomers, and some of them became the management of the fraternity, because the leader mentioned more than once that their company in Lila needed some professionals to help them take care of it. Most of the members of the fraternity made their reputations by fighting fiercely, and their essence is no different from street gangsters. It is naturally difficult for them to manage the company in an orderly manner.

Maybe it's just the nominal CEO of a certain company, but this time, unfortunately, the leader called him to the front line to "see the world".

Jack thought so.

After a while, the voice came again, "You were the last one to be sent in."

"how do you know?"

Jack approached the wall where the sound came from, and lowered his voice, for fear of disturbing the death crab guarding the prison.

From the outside, the prison they are in is roughly the same structure as the prisons that can be seen in human society, which means that it is difficult to patrol inside the prison with the huge body of the death crab. As far as the beasts are concerned, this building is actually no different from a dog cage in front of them.

"I've been counting, and with you, a total of 37 people were sent in."

The voice answered him.

37 people.

The number sent shivers down Jack's spine.

The number of people who captured the artifact team this time is more than this number. As for the fate of those who were not sent here...

He didn't want to continue thinking about it.

Because before they set off, each of them had some common sense about death crabs.

All caravans that were attacked by death crabs in all records, and finally all members of the caravan disappeared. Biologists believe that death crabs are an omnivorous animal. In some cases, humans may also become their prey object.

Jack wished so much that those biologists could also be put in this dark prison at this moment, and then tell them what it meant to be a prisoner of the death crab.

"It has been more than half a day since we were attacked, and the news should have been sent back to Lila."

The inmate next door said, "If the boss knows that we are still alive, he will definitely send someone to rescue us."

Jack fell silent again.

This made the voice on the other end lose its confidence, and repeated it in a low voice, "... right?"

"Didn't he tell you? This time all the elite forces have been transferred here."

Jack had to extinguish the fantasies in the other party's heart.

The reality is that even if the boss knows that they have become prisoners of the Death Crab, even if he knows that the legendary artifact is real, it is impossible to send rescue.

Under the protection of the exoskeleton armor, none of them could safely pass through the abnormal climate area. In fact, the ground troops he led were wiped out before they could fight the death crabs.

"I knew it, I knew it—"

These words seemed to have destroyed the inner defense of the cellmate next door. Apart from muttering to himself, he also heard a slight knocking sound.

He guessed that this psychologically fragile CEO of the company should have never seen any big scenes. It was the first time the boss asked him to come to see the world, and this kind of thing happened.

"Everything has changed since he set his mind on the head of the law enforcement of the seventeenth district."

The crash became more and more violent.

Jack suspected that the other party hit the wall with his head and made a noise with self-mutilation.

"Keep your voice down, it doesn't matter if you die, if you lure the death crab over, I can't spare you."

He warned the other party.

There was silence in the prison, and the people in the next cell were silent for some time.

"Hey, are you still alive?"

Jack couldn't help but ask.

In such a situation, someone who can say a word can relieve his pressure to a certain extent.

"……Um."

After a long time, a voice came from there.

"It's not hopeless, sometimes I always feel that the boss has changed, and it has been like this since I started working with that biopharmaceutical company."

Jack said, "But if we think better, maybe the people from the company will come to rescue us."

With their drugs that claim to help humans evolve to reach the most perfect form, after the completion of the biopharmaceutical company's research, everyone in the Brotherhood also got a copy, but the boss emphasized to them more than once, if Do not use these agents unless absolutely necessary.

The boss must know something, the company probably hid the side effects of the drug from all of them.

It's just that now they want to use drugs to no avail.

The drug disappeared from his body after he was unconscious, and he guessed that all the prisoners held here also did the same.

"It was also the company's idea to arrest the director of the law enforcement department."

"Why?"

Jack paused, and swallowed "knowing too much is not a good thing". This was originally a secret of the fraternity, and he shouldn't talk about it under any circumstances, but now their life and death are uncertain, and he is not open to it. The extent to which these secrets can be taken to the grave.

In particular, their imprisonment was the result of the leader deliberately concealing information from them.

"Because there can only be one successor."

"Heir?"

"I just happened to hear about this. Do you still remember the archaeologist from the chamber of commerce? She was named by the company. We spent a lot of time avoiding the chamber of commerce and brought her to Lila. "

The demise of the Skeleton Gang and the "Garbage Treatment Plant" can be regarded as revenge from the Chamber of Commerce, and the leader has also strictly prohibited them from provoking war against the Chamber of Commerce.

The influence of the Chamber of Commerce is spread all over every town in the "outside". Even they can't find out the details of these merchants. There was no conflict of interest between them and the Brotherhood in the past, and the two sides have been living in peace until now.

"You should know what happened to her after she came to Lila."

The company established a church for her, made her the high priest of the church, and established churches in the most impoverished and backward places. While sending supplies to the locals, they also preached teachings and made them believers in the God of Life.

Although the boss and the company have never responded positively to this matter, Jack has already had a guess.

"Maybe the company wants that girl to be the successor. Whether it's the artifact in the desert or these mutated crabs, it's all related to this matter."

"You mean to say that the head of the law enforcement department is also the successor? She hasn't been to the oasis, how could that be?"

"That's not something we can know."

Jack changed the subject, "Remember, if, I mean, if you and I can escape from this ghost place, you have to rot this matter in your stomach, otherwise the company and the boss will never let you go."

Jack felt that there was a point where the man next door was right.

The leader of the fraternity has changed.

Maybe they've got bigger plans to the point where fraternity has become irrelevant to him.

He secretly made up his mind that if he could return to Lila from this ghostly place this time, he must try to find out what the boss and the people of the company were plotting.

"Plop—"

Another strange sound from next door interrupted his thoughts.

"Hi, are you okay?"

he asked anxiously.

In this dark and closed environment, he subconsciously regarded the prisoners in the next cell as friends.

It must have been the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. He worried that his "friend" would kill himself because he couldn't bear the blow of reality. After all, the company's CEO was different from them, and their hearts were too fragile.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Jack Roman."

I don't know how long it took before the voice came again, "According to the crimes you committed, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to leave this prison in the future."

In an instant, all the hairs on Jack's body stood on end, and a terrible thought emerged in his mind - who was talking to him next door to the prison?

He smelled blood.

Although it was faint, it did come from the cell next door.

"Although I can't release you from here, but since we had a good conversation just now, I can entrust the Death Crabs to add a chicken leg to tomorrow's prison meal—what kind of chicken leg do you like?"

"You, who are you?"

Jack couldn't speak fluently, and then another question kept circling in his mind.

Why did this person appear in the cell next to him, and what happened to the original prisoners there?

The question in his mind was quickly answered.

"In addition, I must inform you with great regret that Mr. Henry, your cellmate next door, accidentally suffered a myocardial infarction when he attacked me. I am afraid it will be difficult to see the sunrise tomorrow. Please forgive me."

Compared with unfamiliar voices, Jack is much more familiar with the name Henry.

In the Oasis, this is a very common name, but for the Brotherhood, this name has a huge meaning.

In the early days of the Brotherhood, it was Henry who led a group of thugs to snatch the first territory for them. In the past few years, Henry was the ace fighter of the Brotherhood. He had experienced the siege of the oasis war, and personally executed more than ten politicians who opposed them.

In the border city, everyone would turn pale after hearing Henry's name.

More importantly, Henry's health has always been good. He has undergone no less than 10 prosthetic transformations, and all parts of his body have been updated. He will never have symptoms of sudden myocardial infarction.

Jack thought of the banging sound from the next door just now, and connected the matter together.

Henry launched an attack on the other party while they were communicating, but not only did the attack fail, but he himself was killed in an instant, without even having time to warn others.

It was hard for Jack to imagine who could instantly deal with an ace thug like Henry.

The "plop" just now was the sound made when Henry's body fell to the ground.

Jack regretted it, he should have thought of this situation long ago!

It is impossible for Death Crabs to generate wisdom out of thin air. Behind all this there must be other people secretly manipulating everything. It is they who endowed Death Crabs with wisdom and helped them establish this ancient kingdom with a very human style. I am afraid that they will exist for as long as Much longer than they imagined.

And all of this is related to the God of Life.

"Mr. Jack, I don't have much time. I still have a lot to do. Please answer my question as soon as possible. What kind of chicken legs do you want to see in your lunch tomorrow?"

While speaking, Song Lan regretfully looked down at Mr. Henry who was lying on the ground.

The eyes of this burly man lost focus.

From a medical point of view, the penetrating wound on the chest was caused by a sudden myocardial infarction. The same symptoms have appeared in many sudden deaths in the coalition government recently, including the Secretary-General of the Council.

When people found the Secretary-General, he collapsed in his office in a similar manner to Mr. Henry.

It's such a pity.

If Mr. Henry had been able to keep quiet all the time and hadn't had any violent movements during the attack, he wouldn't have died of heart disease at a young age.

Even he might get a delicious chicken leg for lunch tomorrow.

He waited for a while, but Jack Roman next door didn't respond to him again, and Song Lan didn't want to stay any longer in this sad cell, so he said, "Since you don't answer me, I'll treat it as a braised chicken leg." gone."

Braised, classic and delicious.

Still not obsolete in 2167.

After that, he pushed open the door of the cell and walked towards the entrance of the prison.

"Is this what you call detective methods?"

Although he was outside the prison, he used his psychic power to see all the "nothingness" and questioned it, but Song Lan did take the initiative to let Jack reveal the secret of the biopharmaceutical company's search for Lu Xiang.

He couldn't help pointing out the problem, "You're clearly a fraud, right?"

Pretending to be Jack Roman's roommate, using his fragile heart at the moment, let him tell the information about betraying the fraternity.

This is essentially no different from the extortion method of a relative pretending to be the victim, claiming that an accident occurred and asking for money transfer.

"To be precise, it's a white lie."

Song Lan believed that this was a good result for everyone, and Mr. Jack also got what he wanted - a braised chicken leg.

But for the high-ranking members of the Brotherhood, who are full of crimes, this is at best a small step towards redemption.

And then, after a visit to the history museum of Udre-Nybruth, they had to deal with the company again.

Thank you for the 100 starting coins that you started to reward!

Small theater its two hundred and seventy-three:

On a certain day of a certain year, Monday, morning

Song Lan felt that it was unknown whether the child had a talent for cooking, but what was certain was that she had at least inherited Lu Xiang's characteristics of a glutton, and she was able to distinguish between good and bad food at a young age.

She is very sensitive to toxic substances, so she didn't take a sip of Lu Xiang's porridge.

"Song Lan."

Lu Xiang took a deep breath.

Just now, she deeply reflected on what she had done in the past period of time and came to a conclusion.

It must be that she has been focusing on the little baby recently, and has neglected to "discipline" Dumbbird, so that he is getting more and more drifting. If this continues, he may evolve into a fluttering bird.

"How dare you put harmful substances in front of her?"

"...But, that's your porridge."

Song Lan was obviously taken aback.

He didn't expect Lu Xiang to classify the food he cooked into the category of harmful substances without changing his face.

This is……

Have better self-awareness?

"I'm asking you a question."

Lu Xiang straightened her face, and raised her eyebrows to express her mood at the moment.

"Uh, on that subject..."

"Walk."

An irresistible force grabbed Song Lan's wrist and pulled him over, "Don't block the child's face, you go back to the room with me and explain clearly!"

The lively child in the crib stopped making noises. She looked at the two people's backs with ignorant eyes, and finally disappeared around the corner.
