Chapter 14: The Cell
Old Tom was unconscious in the third-floor infirmary.
The warden's office is also on the third floor.
The corridor that leads to the west is also on the third floor.
These reasons were enough, and Qin Ran once again came to the third floor of this building, accompanied by prison guard Jack.
In fact, if he could, Qin Ran wouldn't mind coming alone.
However, when he thought of the corridor full of monitoring probes, Qin Ran frowned.
Even the expert-level [Stealth] would not allow him to enter and exit here freely.
After all, [stealth] is not stealth.
Moreover, the warden had apparently rearranged it in order to catch Old Tom's accomplices.
Two prison guards stood there, one left and one right, unsmilingly at everyone who walked up to the third floor, looking for every suspect who might become Tom Sr.'s accomplices.
Looking at such an arrangement, Qin Ran couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
There was no hope that an accomplice who would be able to catch Old Tom.
Able to set up the previous chaos, lure out the deputy warden to kill, and kill the guy again.
The other party must be cautious and careful.
Even if he knew that Old Tom was still alive, he would not have appeared here rashly.
It wasn't even true if there weren't two prison guards who were like door gods.
Qin Ran only came once, and he still remembered the monitoring probes that filled the corridor on the third floor, not to mention the other party who was specially designed to lure the deputy warden out and kill him?
The other party will inevitably use other ways!
Qin Ran guessed very firmly.
Even if the other party is just for their own safety.
Perhaps Old Tom, under the various methods of the prison warden, will keep secrets.
But it's more about confiding in things.
In addition, the other party had already carried out a plan to 'kill and destroy the mouth' of old Tom, and the old Tom who was betrayed, why did he keep it a secret for the other party?
If it were him, he would also tell the other party and drag the other party to die together!
For the ruthlessness of the prison warden, Qin Ran absolutely believed it.
Although the prison warden restrained himself very much, the 'smell of blood' on his body could not be hidden from Qin Ran.
A novice dungeon, plus an official dungeon, had already trained Qin Ran's perception of the 'smell of blood' with great acumen, and it had almost become an intuition.
"What kind of method will the other party use?"
"Create another mess and distract everyone?"
"It doesn't work!"
"After the previous chaos, everyone has raised their vigilance! What's more, these two prison guards guarding here must have received orders from the prison warden such as 'no matter what happens, you can't leave'! ”
"Moreover, even if it can be successful, the other party will not be able to dodge the monitoring probe!"
Qin Ran couldn't think of any way to quietly enter here.
Because, no matter what you do, you will eventually be discovered!
Unless it is invisible, or has a presence similar to 'Ghost Slayer'.
But...... Is this possible?
Qin Ran groaned, but he didn't come to a conclusion faster.
The appearance of the [Woven Amulet] made Qin Ran have enough guesses.
Call!
There was no more evidence or clues, and it was impossible to speculate more Qin Ran, so he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Then, an idea popped into my head!
About the Prison Warden!
"That warden is not a stupid man!"
"He should know that he can't catch the person he wants to catch by doing so!"
And he did! Because, that's exactly what the warden wanted - he didn't need to find out who the other was, he just had to wait for old Tom to wake up, and then everything would be understood! ”
"So, that accomplice of Old Tom, there are only two paths left!"
"Run away or surrender!"
"The warden is forcing old Tom's accomplice to make a choice, and whatever choice is made, the end is bound to be extremely miserable!"
Needless to say, if it falls into the hands of the prison warden, how can it be pleased?
Run away?
The prison warden has already made such a persecution, so he will naturally take precautions!
Subconsciously, Qin Ran's mind seemed to have a big net called the prison warden, which was heading towards Old Tom's accomplice!
"So...... How do I complete side quests? ”
Qin Ran thought as he walked.
Side quest [Hidden Accomplice!] ] is to find out Old Tom's accomplices.
If found by the warden, the mission would have failed.
The failure of the side quest will not only affect the evaluation of the clearance, but also the favorability of the relevant characters.
Qin Ran didn't care too much about the warden's favorability.
However, I am very concerned about the evaluation of customs clearance.
That's about points and skill points.
Just when Qin Ran was thinking about what he should do next, he had already walked in front of the two iron fences.
With the prison guard Jack, Qin Ran easily passed the inspection of the two armed prison guards, or rather...... Didn't check at all, just glanced at it.
Even if Qin Ran was carrying a big bag, it was the same.
It's really lax, it's like nothing!
It's not as strict as it seems!
Qin Ran glanced at the two gun-wielding prison guards who seemed to be relevant, and even doubted that once something emergency happened, these two gun-wielding prison guards could do anything.
Screaming loudly?
"Being a guard here is the easiest job in Alcatari!"
"In fact, even without them, nothing would have happened!"
"Everybody wants to do this! However, it takes a lucky draw - it's not a shift system, and every year we draw six lucky guys to stay here in shifts! ”
"Not only is the work easy, but also, with perks! Lucky one, isn't it? ”
After the prison guard Jack passed the iron fence, he began to complain to Qin Ran.
Qin Ran smiled.
Obviously, according to the other party, this is an idle job that everyone envies, but the other party should not have the opportunity to become such a lucky person.
And Qin Ran cared more about the other party's words.
"Jack, are you saying there are no guards here, and nothing will happen?"
Qin Ran asked.
"Of course, this is Alcatel, the cruelest and tightest prison in the world!"
Prison guard Jack said, pointing not far away.
Following the fingers of the prison guard Jack, Qin Ran looked forward.
Completely sealed cells appeared in front of his eyes.
Lights illuminated one side of the hallway, and a row of heavy iron doors embedded in the walls, locked from the outside with palm-sized locks.
Each iron gate is spaced three meters apart.
On each iron gate, only two can only be opened completely from the outside, and can only pass through the gate that is no more than 20 centimeters long and no more than 10 centimeters high.
"The two gates: the upper one is used to observe the prisoners in the cell, and the lower one is used to hand out the plates."
"The prisoners only have one meal a day, and believe me, even a girl on a diet will marvel at the scarcity of portions when faced with that little bit of food!"
"There is no wind, they can only come out and take a shower once a week - and this is the only and only chance they have to get out of the cell, and the rest of the time, they have to stay in it 24 hours a day!"
Prison guard Jack said as he walked, and finally stopped at the end of the third floor, where even the hallway lights could not shine.
"This is Kilfin. Huffy's Cell! ”
"Of all the cells in Alcatel, the conditions are the worst!"
"I hope you can cover your nose, Mr. 2567, although we did our best to clean up afterwards, but the smell is still a little big!"
With that, Prison Guard Jack opened the cell door with the key.
Just as the other party said, the foul smell came to his face, making Qin Ran frown.
Moreover, the cell was very dark,
If it weren't for Qin Ran's vision given by D+-level perception, he wouldn't have been able to see everything inside clearly.
A toilet, a worn-out blanket.
There were no lights, no more furniture.
That's all there is to the cell.
Prison guard Jack covered his nose, turned on the flashlight, and walked in, followed by Qin Ran.
"It lives up to its name!"
Feeling the stronger and stronger stench, Qin Ran evaluated, and then directly turned on the skill [Tracking].
Immediately, a large patch of dazzling scarlet appeared in front of Qin Ran's eyes in an extremely orderly manner.
What is it?
Qin Ran's eyes couldn't help but widen.
