The warden who guards the witches

Aiden stood in the underground enclosure of the core area, looking at the blown-up magic circle.

The damage was not serious at all, but the alchemical magic circle itself was quite sophisticated, and any slight change would damage the integrity of the magic circle.

"You are still using this outdated forbidden magic circle." Abigail, who came in with him, commented, "Or is it directly engraved on the floor?"

"High-end prisons will use mithril, but our prison doesn't have the budget." Aiden frowned, "But the doors to the entrance here are explosion-proof, and they are equipped with magic traps and mechanisms to counterattack. It is impossible to enter without a special key and authority token..."

"But the door was intact when we came in." Abigail said, "By the way, there is no guard here."

Aiden's face was dark, and he had sent someone to check who the prison guard on duty here was.

"Can you fix it?" Aiden asked.

"It just so happens that I just used 'Return', and the Word of God is still in effect." Abigail raised her hand and waved.

The destroyed magic circle immediately began to repair itself as if time was going backwards, but even after it was restored to its original state, the mercury in the magic circle was still stagnant, like a pool of stagnant water.

"The core components that maintain the magic circle were stolen and taken outside the domain." Abigail immediately realized the reason.

This alchemical magic circle cannot be operated by carving the magic circle with grooves on the floor and then pouring mercury and forbidden magic stones. It also requires a device composed of four magic tools fixed around the magic circle to convert the consumed ore and monster materials into magic power to provide the magic circle to operate. The person who destroyed the magic circle blew up one of the devices while destroying the magic circle, and also stole the corresponding magic tool.

Abigail only has the initial level of "return", and the domain size cannot even cover the entire alchemical magic circle. For things that have been sent outside the domain, she cannot order them to return.

"Sir, the warden, I'm afraid you have to do this yourself." Abigail said.

"Consuming the divine words here may be exactly what that guy wants." Aiden said.

Aiden's "return" divine word, after specifying an object, can choose to directly "archive" it to a certain regular state, even if the missing materials of the object are transferred outside the domain, it can still take effect.

But his concern is that Mr. Bloody Clothes may deliberately do this kind of destruction just to consume his divine words.

After the "return" divine word is used, it will take a long time to cool down after being effective for a period of time, and Mr. Bloody Clothes may aim to take action at that time.

"Can I talk to Qiqimora and the others now?" Aiden asked.

"Anytime, the Great Witch's certificate is always activated now." Abigail replied.

"Lamia, Qiqimora, how is the cell now?" Aiden picked up the Great Witch's certificate and used it like a walkie-talkie.

"Don't worry, kid, your prisoners are as docile as a group of sheep. No one except us has left the prison without permission." Lamia's voice sounded in the certificate.

"Really?" Aiden didn't expect this scene to be so easy to calm down. He was prepared for the situation that several people had been killed by Lamia before the others retreated.

"Then I'll let them bleat for you twice." Lamia laughed cruelly on the other side of the voucher. Without waiting for Aiden's consent, she shouted to the prison in the nearby cells, "Come on, all of you learn a few cute sheep calls for your warden."

In the core area cells, the prisoners fell into dead silence after hearing Lamia's request.

"Bell for me." Lamia turned her neck 90 degrees towards them, grinning and showing her sharp teeth, "The disobedient lambs will be eaten."

These prisoners immediately stood up all over their bodies, and scrambled to learn a few distorted sheep calls, with shrill voices.

"The warden is too perverted." Someone muttered.

"..." Aiden listened to these crying voices on the other side, not knowing how to react.

It seems that the reputation has been harmed for no reason.

"Lamia is enjoying it." Abigail commented.

"Sadist." Aiden shook his head and asked, "Is my subordinate Veronica there too?"

"Yes, warden, what should we do next?" This time it was Chichimora's voice.

"You guys stay there first." Aiden replied.

Since the situation in the cell has been calmed down, there is no need to rush to repair the barrier.

The key to the problem now is not the state of the barrier, but how the barrier was destroyed.

In fact, Aiden has already noticed the answer in his heart, a situation that he completely missed.

"Warden, the people are here." A prison guard came over and saluted Aiden.

The other prison guard who was led over stood behind him with his shoulders hunched in fear.

Aiden cast his eyes on the prison guard behind him - he was the one who was in charge of guarding here before, and he should have sounded the alarm when the closed area below was attacked.

"Mask." Aiden said.

The prison guard carefully took off the mask and let Aiden see his face.

"Where did you go?" Aiden asked expressionlessly.

"I was transferred to the ground to look after the vault." The guard replied in a low voice.

"Who asked you to change my post? I said everyone should stick to their posts for the time being." Aiden said seriously.

"Yes... Deputy Warden Will came to ask me to change. He first asked Matthew to adjust the strength of the barrier, and then came to urge them personally, so I let them in. Deputy Warden Will asked Matthew to change my post." The guard lowered his head, his face full of regret.

"Two people together?" Aiden frowned.

"Yes."

After a long silence, Aiden nodded: "I know."

Will, Matthew... He recalled the appearance of the two subordinates in his mind.

Already dead...

When the barrier was destroyed, he actually realized that he seemed to have gone in the wrong direction.

All the prisoners were locked up in the cells, and the newly hired contract employees were also placed in their respective positions and could not leave at will. Basically, only formal prison guards could walk around in the prison.

Mr. Bloody Clothes did take the way of pretending to be dead to sneak into the prison, but he was not a prisoner of the undead, but a prison guard who originally worked in this prison.

That guy investigated the prison and then assassinated the prison guards in office. In order to cover each other and as insurance, he also killed two people at a time and turned them into the dead under his control.

When Aiden realized that Mr. Bloody had turned himself into an undead, he actually considered the possibility that Mr. Bloody would kill the prison guards in the prison and then manipulate them. But he quickly rejected this possibility at the time. As for the difference between the appearance of the dead and the living, the dead had to play the role of the living in their positions and interact with colleagues and prisoners, and soon they would be found out.

However, after the plague led by Mr. Bloody broke out in Aiden's prison, the situation in the prison changed. The masks worn by the prison guards limited the identity confirmation to the first glance when the mask was taken off, and it became possible to use the dead to continue to play the role of the living.

And now, Mr. Bloody still controls the two dead people to roam around in the prison.
