Chapter 11, Chapter 24: The Hidden Secret
"You can stay here for a while for 80,000 yuan, but the matter must be verified with Mester first. ⊙, Bullying, buy some daily necessities, and then wait for me to come back in the apartment. I will deal with some things."
Naturally, 80,000 mineral coins could not be carried on them, but through silver notes similar to ancient times, there were eight papers marked with the insignia of the Prison World, each with a face value of 10,000 yuan. Zhang Chen handed all over to the Firefly for safekeeping, and he quickly headed towards the core position of the Prison World.
"What a wonderful barrier, it takes a lot of energy to break it."
A pure white building top room in the center of the Prison World is similar to a lighthouse, which is the office of the prison officer who is in charge of the overall situation in the Prison World. It just makes Zhang Chen a little curious about what other floors of this building are used for.
When Zhang Chen arrived at the bottom of the lighthouse, he was immediately stopped by the guards at the door.
"The idle people are not allowed to enter. Aren't you a newcomer who just came to the prison world a few days ago? Let's leave quickly."
Both guards are qualified to stand here to take on this position. One of them is Zhang Chen, who is the tall and mighty prison envoy who led everyone to the person registration department when Zhang Chen and his newcomers entered the prison world.
"I am invited by Captain Mester to come here." Zhang Chen said respectfully.
"You are a little sergeant, don't make trouble here. Only when the rank of lieutenant general can the lieutenant lieutenant receive him in person." When the guard saw Zhang Chen today, the overall momentum of the other party was completely different from the feeling of weakness when he came to Zero on the first day.
Of course, Zhang Chen would not force himself to break in, but just frowned. The woman took the initiative to let him come over without explaining it.
However, at this moment, a voice seemed to reach the ears of the two guards, and their expressions changed drastically. One of them, who was familiar with Zhang Chen, immediately made a respectful gesture of asking for instructions, allowing Zhang Chen to follow him into the interior of the building.
"I'd like to forgive you for being offensive just now. After all, everyone here judges by the military rank and high ground. You can directly reach the prisoner's place through the elevator in front. Please."
"fine."
Zhang Chen smiled slightly and walked up the semi-spherical lifting device. There was no control button inside the lifting room, but it sensed that Zhang Chen entered. He scanned Zhang Chen's body and then rose to the corresponding floor.
The elevator opened and the room displayed in front of Zhang Chen was not as bright as imagined, nor was it similar to the high-end office assigned by General Mo Qing in the hanging city.
The room is not very space, and the light inside is dim, and the walls around it are filled with dark blue light with extremely low brightness.
At the end of the room, a woman with long hair hanging down to her chest sat on a spacious large bed.
Zhang Chen took three steps forward to realize that the height of this clock tower is nearly 100 meters. It should be located in the middle of the tower. This is a special room inside, and it seems that it should be the bedroom where Captain Mestre rests.
However, the scene in front of me does not seem to be much different from the haunted house.
"The room set up for the prisoner has the highest security level. No one can know about the conversation here. I don't speak very well in Chinese. Please sit down. If there is no good hospitality, please forgive me."
The lips under the black hair were opened and closed, and some depressed voices echoed in the room. At the same time, a pile of black viscous substances mixed with ghost energy appeared under Zhang Chen, gathering to form a cold black round stool that matched Zhang Chen's height.
"You only have the right to know what you have learned when you reach the level of a prisoner. However, Zhang Chen Prisonsi has been recognized by Lan Miao. In fact, he is also a member of the prisoner. I should have told you the matter earlier, so there is no need to cause misunderstandings for everyone."
"There is nothing to misunderstand. When I learned about the operating mode of the Prison Envoy, I thought at first that you did it a bit too much. But if you think about it for a moment, I'm afraid the entire Prison Envoy's operating system will completely collapse within a few hundred years. Now I can barely accept it."
"Zhang Chen, you are very interesting."
The woman sitting on the bed turned her head over, and the dark hair looked at Zhang Chen with her blue eyes.
"The current situation of our prison envoy is very bad. Including the two people in your country who are being suppressed and sealed by prisons, there are only ten prisoners in total, and this does not exist among them. Our prison envoy is in a low point, and we need to get a prison envoy with potential to become a prison envoy in a short period of time."
"In addition, once the prison envoy reaches the level of prison, the life span is mostly up to five hundred years, and it is not a problem for the prison officer to live for a thousand years. This makes a lot of resources waste some people without potential."
Regarding the explanation of the woman in front of him, Zhang Chen immediately followed his words:
"So. For these prison envoys with low potential and not much talent, they will attract zero front lines and arrange these secret methods to make them die within a three-year period. If the prison envoys who can survive can barely be considered to have some potential and can continue to be used."
The woman nodded without denying: "You are right, food is limited. We don't need to support these prisoners who have no purpose for the development of prisoners in the future. Originally, their chance of regeneration was given to them by prisoners. Since there is no contribution value, recycling is a matter of course."
"But, don't you think it's inhumane to do this?" Zhang Chen asked back.
"Human nature has read your information about me. You belong to a human transplant, and you are half a human. The real prison envoy belongs to a creature between the prison. Human beings have no relationship. The so-called human nature does not exist naturally. What our prison envoy needs to do is to maintain the stability between the human and the prison, that's all."
"The entire prison world is the last furnace. You should put all the prison envoys who seem to have no potential in this extremely harsh environment and let them die slowly. I don't like this place very much."
"It has nothing to do with whether you like it or not. Some of the prison guards also have objections. However, the rules in the prison world have been set for hundreds of years, and they are designated by a prison supervisor. It is not our turn to change it. I told you privately, because I think Zhang Chen, you are very interesting and may be able to do me a favor."
Zhang Chen did not take a definite attitude towards the woman in front of him. After all, the shady inside the prison was not planned by this woman.
"What are you doing"
"The so-called artifact materials actually exist and are fabricated. In fact, they are not just artifact materials, but a broken artifact."
"What's the meaning"
Zhang Chen didn't know what the other party wanted to express. If there was such a thing, it would be more convenient for obtaining items with the strength of this woman and her understanding of Zero Bian.
"The development of the prison world is not as simple as you imagined. You have also seen barriers that cover the entire prison world. Zero is like an invader to the prisoner. Even if all our prison guards join forces, they cannot create such a huge barrier that can permanently block the environment of Zero."
"You mean, is the prison world built by the prison supervisor you mentioned before?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Yes, this prisoner opened up land for the prison envoy in the zero area. In fact, he had the ambition to continue to expand the land area in the zero area. But later he found an indisputable fact that the first condition for establishing a foothold in the zero area was Wang Ge. However, such things do not recognize the existence of our prison envoy."
"Ultimately, under this irreversible fact, the previous ambitions were slowly extinguished, and this place gradually evolved into a garbage dump for recycling the prison without potential. But the final point is that the jailer who built all this died in a prison guarding operation."
"Prison Governor, Die" Zhang Chen was shocked.
"It's very simple. If the nightmare ghost from Zero came to the prison to build its own territory, what do you think our prison envoy would react? At that time, Azathus was not included in Zero. Five apostles came to forcibly eradicate the prison world. In the end, this senior jail chief suppressed the environment of Zero, killed one of the apostles, seriously injured the other four, and defeated the enemy."
"But in the end, the prison guard returned from serious injury and completed an extremely huge project before his death, so he was able to maintain the existence of the prison world. The next thing is extremely confidential, and I need you to swear with your soul not to reveal this matter."
The woman in front of her stood up from the edge of the bed and walked slowly towards the position where Zhang Chen was.
"Is this related to what you said before that you need my help and the so-called incomplete artifact?"
"related."
"Okay, I, Zhang Chen, swears with my own soul. If the information I know is leaked in the slightest, my soul will be scattered."
"Is this OK?"
A woman named Mester walked barefoot to Zhang Chen and sat down. This was the first time Zhang Chen observed this uneasy woman up close, but she didn't expect that she had an exquisite face under her thick black hair.
"The Demon Canyon you went to is one of the four seals left by this predecessor. It has only become like this after our follow-up treatment. In addition, there are three seals that jointly maintain the prison world from being violated by the outside world. However, as the core location of the seals everywhere, it exists in a secret room directly below the entire prison world."
"In the secret room, there is a magical artifact used by this senior prisoner during his lifetime, but it was severely broken in the battle with the five apostles."
"So that's what the white desert I arrived at at the beginning must be one of the seals. I don't know what is needed here for my help."
"The prison guard's secret room is equipped with a powerful seal left by itself, and the prison guard cannot enter."
The woman said that at this point, she looked at Zhang Chen seriously, "A prison officer needs to enter it and take out the incomplete artifact inside." To be continued.
