The upgrade of "Breath of the Source" made Ogata feel very good.

Because he was in a good mood, Ogata couldn't help but let out a cheer.

And before his cheers fell, he was angrily reprimanded by an official who had changed to a fire thief outside the prisoner's car:

"Quiet!"

"You guys really don't have anyone who is gentle with me except for Onihei......"

……

……

A few hours later—

Kera, Kerala, Kerala, Kera ......

The sound of the wheels gradually became quieter, and eventually - completely disappeared.

After hearing the sound of the wheels cheating and feeling that the prisoner cart beneath him was no longer moving, Ogata gradually woke up from his sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he didn't have time to ask the officials outside the prison car loudly what was going on, when the door of the prison car was opened with a bang.

Sunlight immediately leaked through the open door into the prisoner car.

"Hmm......"

Not accustomed to this level of bright light, Ogata couldn't help but let out a low cry of pain and closed his eyes.

"Ogata Esuse! We're here! ”

With his eyes closed, Ogata couldn't see what was going on around him.

All I could hear was the sound of a large number of people rushing into the prison cart and tying Ogata's hands behind him with thick hemp rope.

He wrapped a black cloth around his eyes so that Ogata couldn't see.

Finally, a piece of cotton cloth is stuffed into Ogata's mouth so that Ogata can't speak.

Ogata, who had his hands, eyes, and voice under control, was escorted out of the prison car.

Because his eyes were wrapped in a black cloth, Ogata couldn't see where he was.

can only be dragged by the officials of the fire pay thieves, and let the officials of the fire pay thieves escort him away.

- This is ...... What was that?

Although his eyes couldn't see, Ogata's ears weren't blocked.

Because of the closure of his eyesight, Ogata's hearing has become a little sharper.

Ogata vaguely seemed to hear something...... The sound of the waves.

……

……

Escorted by the officials of the fire payment thieves, Ogata turned around and had no idea where he was.

I only hear that the surroundings seem to be getting noisier and louder.

I only felt that the air around me seemed to be getting more and more cloudy......

Eventually, the officers escorting Ogata stopped.

"Ogata Esusei, we're here." The official said as he untied the black cloth that covered Ogata's eyes.

As soon as the black cloth was taken down, Xu Yi hurriedly looked ahead of him.

Ahead is a stone brick road with a lot of stagnant water.

On both sides of this wide stone and brick road, which can accommodate three people side by side, are cells one after another.

Ogata looked around and saw that there was only one prisoner in each cell.

On the wall of each cell hangs a candle for lighting.

Although there are a lot of candles, it is still too difficult to illuminate such a large area, so the light in this area is very dim.

And the dim light made the surrounding air seem to be even more muddy.

Before Ogata had time to take a closer look at his surroundings, the official who was standing behind Ogata patted Ogata on the back and said in an impatient tone:

"Ogata Esuse! Let's go! ”

……

……

Led by the officials of the Fire Burglars, Ogata turned his gaze as he walked deeper into the prison, surveying his surroundings.

The "tenants" living in the cage also looked at Ogata with interest.

And every now and then he shouts some foul language.

"There's a handsome young guy!"

"Why are the cages in this prison all single rooms?"

"I've been holding it for a long time! Don't say it's a woman! Give me a good-looking handsome guy! ”

"Your Excellency! Put this handsome guy in my jail! ”

"Hey! Brothers! You're also a death row inmate, right? What crime did you commit in coming in? ”

"Don't wear your hair in a bun! Still a samurai-sama! ”

"Samurai-sama! You can't get in because of corruption, do you? ”

"Or is it because you raped civilians like me?"

"Hahaha!"

……

While the prisoners in the cage were looking at Ogata, Ogata was also looking at the prisoners.

Ogata discovers that the prisoners here are all men.

And judging from his face and temperament, Ogata instinctively felt that the prisoners held here should not be ordinary prisoners.

"Ogata Esusei, we're here."

The fire-paying thieves led Ogata to a halt in an empty cage.

An official standing behind Ogata pulled out his waki, cut the hemp rope that bound Ogata's hands, and then pushed Ogata into the empty prison with the rest of his colleagues standing beside him, and then locked the cage door with a sharp gesture.

Of course, after sending Ogata to the cage, the only two pieces of luggage left on Ogata's body: Sakakiwara's certificate of exemption from the sword, and the cheats were also taken away by the officials.

After taking away these two things from Ogata and leaving a sentence of "I'll give it back to you later", these officials who had been changed by the fire thieves walked away.

It wasn't until after the officials left that the "neighbors" who lived around Ogata immediately threw questions at Ogata one after another.

"Brother! What is your name? ”

"Brother! What sin did you commit and come in? ”

"Hey! Are you also a death row inmate? ”

"You're so handsome, I'm swollen here, hehe!"

……

Ogata has no intention of building a good relationship with his "neighbors".

But some simple questions, Ogata is not unable to answer them.

"My name is Ogata Yoshi."

Ogata said as he straightened his clothes.

"It's a ronin."

"The sin I have committed...... I guess it's homicide. ”

"I don't know if I'm on death row or not. for no one has yet convicted me. ”

"But I guess - I'm supposed to be a death row inmate."

"If people like me don't get the death penalty, there will be no one to be sentenced to death."

After Ogata briefly introduced himself, he immediately aroused new interest among the "neighbors" around him.

"Oooh! You also came in because of murder! ”

A bald-headed man who lived diagonally across from Ogata grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"I also came in with murder."

"I fell in love with a village girl, and I was going to sneak into his house in the middle of the night and give her up."

"But after entering her house, she was accidentally discovered by her parents."

"There is no choice but to kill her parents and run away."

"It's a pity that I was arrested by the official in the end."

After listening to the strong man's nonchalant tone about his crimes, Ogata's brows furrowed directly, and he cast a strong look of displeasure and anger at the strong man.

"Hahahaha! You're stupid! Doing such a thing can still be discovered! ”

At that moment, a short-looking, lewd young man who lived across from Ogata laughed.
