Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

This is the scene that the audience wants to see, and it also fits their inherent impression of the Prison Planet - this planet is full of bizarre and strange scenes, and what's even better is that they don't need to feel guilty about taking pleasure in the suffering of others, and all the torture suffered by the prisoners is what they deserve.

The audience only needs to find happiness in the pursuit of novelty, and even satisfy the dark desires hidden deep in their hearts.

"The environment will have a subtle impact on people. The prisoners in D17 are generally much more tolerant of high temperatures than ordinary people."

Warden Norton pointed out that most of those with blisters on their bodies were "newcomers" who were allowed in today. It wouldn't be long before they could withstand the 62-degree water temperature as easily as everyone else.

The human body is amazing.

Human vitality is much stronger than we imagine.

These are the knowledge that Norton gradually learned after taking over the identity of the warden of the Prison Star.

Of course, for the prisoners on this planet, overly tenacious vitality is not a good thing. He feels that death is a gift to these villains.

The villains will find release in death.

And now, it seems that someone has found another way to get relief. In a foggy room, Duan Mingyuan and others met the "debt collector". It was hotter here than outside, and visibility in the room was extremely low. One could only vaguely see a figure sitting cross-legged.

The Debt Collector is not a peaceful person. After being imprisoned, he has attacked prison guards many times and planned three jailbreaks. Although all attempts ended in failure, he woke up in the infirmary after being knocked unconscious by a mechanical prison guard, but the Debt Collector seems to never learn his lesson.

Norton guessed that this should be related to his special physique. The pain that ordinary people could not bear was actually a kind of enjoyment for the "debt collector".

This is a complete perversion.

That creepy smile was imprinted in the hearts of every prison guard, making D17 one of the prison wards they were least willing to inspect.

And now, this pervert is about to be roasted.

This is a comment from the barrage. The audience saw the "debt collector" with a red body in the camera, and they all said that the crabs they steamed at home were also this color.

Duan Mingyuan also observed very carefully. After all, this was his first time to come into such close contact with a person who had lost his soul.

He stared at the "debt collector" for a long time and finally discovered his subtlety.

Duan Mingyuan originally thought that the soul that the mechanical prison guard was talking about was referring to life energy. It took away the prisoners' energy, deprived them of their desires, and also put them into a state of forced calmness.

This led him to the idea of ​​a lobotomy.

As the ship's doctor of the Ranger, Duan Mingyuan should study some knowledge related to medicine.

The procedure was originally designed to treat psychiatric patients and help them calm down from their disordered emotions, but subsequent studies have shown that it only brings superficial peace of mind.

Patients who undergo surgery often experience cognitive impairment, which can lead to language and social difficulties.

Turning a mentally ill person into a fool, this was the answer given by researchers from another planet several centuries ago. With the development of medicine, this operation has been completely banned throughout the universe. Anyone who performs an excision operation privately will be convicted of crimes against humanity and win a one-way ticket to the prison planet.

At this moment, such anti-human elements are being held in certain prison areas on the Prison Star.

However, the Judge seemed to have drawn inspiration from them and improved the operation. It did not remove any part of the prisoner's body, nor did it cause physical damage to their body. Instead, it allowed their life energy to "settle".

In Duan Mingyuan's eyes, life energy is like a burning flame, burning all the time.

When this flame goes out, it means the death of a life.

The life energy of the "debt collector" was in a state that Duan Mingyuan had never seen before.

It turned into a mist and no longer had any fluctuations.

The debt collector's mental state is just like the mist, no longer having any ups and downs.

You will not be trapped in pain and despair, nor will you experience excitement and ecstasy. You will have an absolutely peaceful life like a plant.

While Duan Mingyuan was under medical observation, Owl's interview work also encountered difficulties.

The mental state of the "debt collector" is so stable that he is almost no different from those monks who have seen through the world. There are no harsh words before the game, no belief that he will win. This pervert who has satisfied the curiosity of countless audiences actually spoke philosophical questions to the camera.

“All pain comes from within.”

The debt collector sat on the ground motionless, with a peaceful expression that made the audience very uncomfortable. He seemed to have figured everything out. "As long as you let go of your desires, you can immediately find peace. Otherwise, even if you leave this prison and escape from this planet, you will still spend the rest of your life in anxiety."

?

The screen full of question marks expressed the audience's dissatisfaction.

No, brothers, you get up so early in the morning, and even risk being discovered by your boss to secretly watch the live broadcast during work. Is it just to hear you preach?

What my brothers want to see is you setting up pre-war flags, revealing the company's dirty laundry in front of the camera, and even better, declaring that one day you will be able to escape from prison successfully. By then, all those who sent you to the Prison Planet will be in trouble!

As for whether the debt collector's great jailbreak plan can be truly realized, and whether he can get satisfaction and relief from revenge, that is not a question that the audience needs to consider.

Some radical viewers pointed out that the most important thing for the "debt collector" to do now is to walk out of the public bathhouse and take the initiative to eliminate all competitors.

The company's higher-ups also expressed dissatisfaction with the studio, pointing out that the current atmosphere in the live studio was disappointing and that they hoped the trial atmosphere would be more intense.

This will greatly promote the discussion of the topic, thereby attracting new audiences for them.

"Old Duan, what should we do now?"

Owl asked Duan Mingyuan for help, but he was not good at dealing with a "master" who had seen through the world.

"Let me try."

While observing the life energy of the "debt collector", Duan Mingyuan had an idea.

The prisoners' calmness comes from the changes in the form of their life energy, so if the fire of their life is ignited again, will they return to normal?

He slowly controlled the mist, changing its shape, turning it back into the appearance of a flame.

As the form of life energy changed, the demeanor of the "debt collector" also changed.

He raised his drooping head and looked up at the owl closest to him.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth, revealing a perverted smile that was exactly the same as the one on the previous promotional poster.

"Die, you company lackey!"

Chapter 316 The Magic of News

"I'm sorry, there was an incident during the live broadcast. Please don't go away and come back soon."

Although the production crew cut off the live broadcast immediately when the "debt collector" jumped up, the audience still got to see the perverted smile they had been dreaming about, and the bloodthirsty eyes seemed like the devil from hell.

Their familiar defending champion is back.

This was what they really wanted to watch. Jiu Yue was one of the members who came there for fun. This scene immediately made her feel a lot more energetic, and all the sleepiness from staying up late last night was gone.

The disadvantage of talking on the phone for a long time is that you can't sleep well at night. You have to secretly glance at your phone every once in a while, until you are too sleepy to open your eyelids, and then you fall into a deep sleep.

She couldn't help but envy Duan Mingyuan's sleep quality.

No matter where or when he is, Mr. Mingyuan can always fall asleep immediately and sleep like a baby.

Jiu Yue excitedly posted a series of cartoon fox clenched fist emojis in the live broadcast room to cheer for Mr. "Debt Collector" - fight, fight!

Trouble foxes are very sensitive to disputes. They are the type of people who can be happy for the whole day if they see someone fighting on the street.

The owl, as the direct victim, was not so calm.

He covered his neck with his hands in fear, his face turning pale.

The debt collector moved quickly. When he came to his senses, the other party had already thrown him to the ground and was strangling his neck with both hands.

"Old Duan, that's not what I meant."

Making threats and raising flags before a battle are fixed parts of this type of entertainment program, but strangling the host by the throat is a bit too much and it is also very exhausting for the host.

He just used his life to prove that all the rumors about the "debt collector" were true.

This man is indeed a lawless pervert, so arrogant that he would suddenly attack and hurt people in front of the camera. Even Warden Norton was stunned by this sudden change.

Owl now seriously suspected that the "debt collector" had stayed in the D17 cell for too long and had burned out his brain.

Fortunately, Duan Mingyuan was quick-witted and hit the "debt collector" on the back of the neck with his elbow, causing the thug to become briefly stiff. He was then dragged out by two mechanical prison guards who appeared out of nowhere, holding up his arms.

The mechanical prison guard arrived so quickly that it seemed as if he had already been in the room.

“But the audience seemed pleased.”

Duan Mingyuan pointed at the black screen that was still filled with comments. Many people were concerned about the safety of the host. Some people who liked to watch the fun even pretended to be prison guards and unilaterally announced that the owl had been killed.

Others in the production crew also sighed.

Cutting off the live broadcast was an instinctive reaction, but now that they have come to their senses, they realize that this may not have been a wise decision.

They could have been more "hectic" and cut off the live broadcast after the "debt collector" knocked down the owl, which would have further increased the discussion of the live broadcast.

This is a classic camera scam. The abrupt end of the scene can give people unlimited room for imagination. Even if the thugs are subdued in the next second, it does not prevent the busybodies from making a big news.

After all, most news these days is like this, starting with a short video clip, the content is all made up, and the focus is on how to attract people through the gimmick of the title.

As for the unlucky Mr. Owl...

I can only bear with him for a while.

Who made him closest to the debt collector at that time?

"What do we do next?"

Owl asked.

According to the original schedule, the next two hours were spent interviewing the "debt collector". The production crew arranged many topics, such as the dispute between the "debt collector" and the debt collection agency, and the truth behind the tragic case that led to the death of an heir to the throne.

A defending champion, plus some conspiracy theories, and the gimmick is there.

But before they could have a deeper exchange with the "debt collector", the king of D17 prison area who was elbowed was taken away by the mechanical prison guard holding his arm. He is likely to face more than two weeks of confinement and be disqualified from the competition.

"What's next? You can go back to the RV and have a cold drink to calm your nerves."

The director's face was full of joy. This sudden change allowed them to gain something in advance. "The rest of you and I will stay here and take some photos of the interior of the public bathhouse, and then randomly ask some passers-by what they think of the 'debt collectors'."

All the prisoners here are at odds with the company, and compared to the "debt collector" who has become weird since signing up, the reactions of other prisoners are much more real and natural.

Therefore, you can imagine their answers with your toes.

The debt collector is a person who loves life and is a good cellmate. He has a sense of humor and often jokes in life. He should not be charged with this.

“It’s all about timing.”

Looking at the comments scrolling back and forth, the director already had an idea in mind, "The next live broadcast will start in an hour. When the time comes, we will replace the host. Be careful not to talk about Mr. Owl's whereabouts."

"Wouldn't that be equivalent to confirming that I was strangled to death?"

Owl, who is also a journalist, saw through the director's intention at a glance.

Before the trial even began, a host was killed during a live broadcast.

Such a stunt is enough to make headlines.

"Mr. Owl, you should know that this is the charm of news."

Selective reporting, even if it is all true, can lead to completely different interpretations.

They never announced the death of Mr. Owl. It was the attentive viewers who guessed that Mr. Owl had been killed based on the time of the suspension and the details of the change of host.

"In that case, then I don't need to show up for the rest of the day, right?"

Owl gladly accepted the arrangement made by the broadcasting crew. He winked at Duan Mingyuan, indicating that he should follow him back to the RV.

Since they have free time from now on, they can use this plenty of time for investigation and research.

For example, exploring where Eisenberg-Adler went.

But before that, he was still full of doubts and wanted to ask Duan Mingyuan - Owl noticed that when the "debt collector" pounced on him, it was Duan Mingyuan who looked suddenly enlightened.

They walked out of the bathhouse and returned to the RV. Now they were the only two people in the car. The air-conditioning turned up to 16 degrees made Owl feel like he had returned to the world from purgatory.

He sat down in a chair just below the air conditioner in front of the refrigerator. "What did you find?"

"The aftereffects of the soul extraction ritual."

This also explains the changes that have taken place in the "debtors" and other prisoners, as well as the meaning of "deprivation" mentioned by the mechanical prison guard.

Although their life energy still exists, the total amount has been greatly reduced.

This means that no matter how the life energy forms of these prisoners change, there is only one situation left.

As calm as dead water, or as uncontrollable rage.

"You are right. The debt collector's brain is indeed burnt out. He has become a one-track person."

I have to go to class today, so the update time in the next few days may be erratic. It will end on the 28th. Please forgive me!
